Shareholders of Supreme Cannabis voted to greenlight the deal selling the company to Canopy Growth for $435 Million. The announcement was released following the accumulation of two-thirds majority votes favoring the approval of the deal.
During the election, 81.05% of the voters supported the sale of Supreme Cannabis.
But even before the latest development about the deal was expressed, talks about it were already around.
Reports of Canopy Growth’s acquisition of Supreme Cannabis made buzz last April as board members of both companies supported the projected deal. However, to fully seal the arrangement, the approval of the regulators and shareholders was required.
Within the deal, brands under Supreme Cannabis, namely 7Acres, Hi-way lines, and Sugarleaf, will be combined with Canopy Growth’s own brands encompassing Tokyo Smoke, Doja, Quatreau, and Tweed.
Furthermore, shareholders can expect to get a Canopy common share of 0.01165872. This is on top of receiving 0.01 a cent for every Supreme share they hold.
Final order granted for arrangement
Supreme Cannabis announced that the final order of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice approving the draft agreement between Supreme Cannabis and Canopy Growth is in the works.
The agreement encompasses arrangements and considerations involving existing Supreme shares. Upon completing the agreement requirements, the closing of the said deal is set to occur on or about June 22, 2021.
