Curaleaf Holdings, Inc. 8K

Curaleaf filed an application with the Alberta Securities Commission to cease-trade Aurora’s ATM share issuance program during Curaleaf’s pending takeover offer, alleging it is an abusive defensive tactic that dilutes shareholders and raises the cost of the bid.

On September 14, 2026, Curaleaf Holdings, Inc. announced that it has filed an application with the Alberta Securities Commission seeking to halt Aurora’s use of its at-the-market (ATM) share issuance program while Curaleaf’s outstanding offer to acquire all of Aurora’s shares remains pending, arguing that Aurora’s ongoing ATM issuances—despite a strong balance sheet—constitute an improper and abusive defensive tactic that dilutes existing shareholders by roughly 11% since the ATM’s inception and about 5% since June 2026, increases the total cost and acceptance thresholds of Curaleaf’s premium US$4.00-per-share offer by more than US$11 million, and impairs Aurora shareholders’ ability to fully and fairly consider whether to tender into the offer.
