Breaking Cannabis M&A: Curaleaf's Bid For Aurora Cannabis Goes Public | TTB Presented by Flowhub

from The Dales Report | Trade to Black · host Dales Media Group

Curaleaf (TSX: CURA) (OTCQX: CURLF) just took its bid for Aurora Cannabis (NASDAQ: ACB) (TSX: ACB) public — US$4.00 per share in stock and cash, after Aurora's board declined to engage twice.We break down the offer: 0.3463 Curaleaf shares plus US$0.75 cash, a 45% premium to Aurora's 30-day VWAP — or 110% stripping out Aurora's balance sheet cash — with consideration capped at US$5.00.Then the real reason this deal exists: Aurora's 50+ tons of annual EU-GMP cultivation capacity and the recently acquired Safari Flower Company, plugged into Curaleaf's international distribution across Germany, the UK and Poland. Combined, a 17-country footprint, US$1.5 billion LTM revenue, US$350 million LTM adjusted EBITDA, and US$40 million in projected annual cost synergies.Plus the questions nobody's answering yet: why Aurora's board refused an NDA, what happens to a Nasdaq listing when a plant-touching US operator is involved, and whether Aurora shareholders want to trade a debt-free balance sheet for equity in a company carrying $611.5 million of debt.#Curaleaf #AuroraCannabis #CannabisMA #TradeToBlackWant to see more Cannabis Reform?🎬    • Dr. Oz Pushes to Protect Senior CBD Access...  🎬    • Senate Rejects Budd’s Hemp Ban Amendment |...  🎬    • Hemp Fight Threatens Government Shutdown |...  Want to stay updated on Cannabis, Small Cap, AI, and Crypto?Subscribe to our Daily Baked newsletter:https://newsletter.thedalesreport.com...Find us on social media and podcast platforms:✅ Facebook:   / thedalesreport  ✅ Twitter:   / thedalesreport  ✅ Instagram:   / dalesreport  ✅ LinkedIn:   / the-dales-report  Apple Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/TDRTradetoBlackon...Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/TDRTradeToBlackon...Website: https://thedalesreport.com/For copyright matters, contact:[email protected] Disclaimer (Financial Interests)The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of any company, organization, or employer.
