Shares in Aurora Cannabis Inc. continued to fall on Tuesday as the company confirmed that it asked key executive Cam Battley late last week to step down as chief corporate officer.

Cam Battley, often the public face for investors in Edmonton-based Aurora, was credited in the release for being critical to the early success and international growth of the company.

Shares of Aurora Cannabis tumbled by nearly nine per cent after the pot producer's fourth-quarter revenues fell short of its own guidance and signalled a longer pathway to profitability, pointing to the slow rollout of brick-and-mortar retail cannabis stores.
