As we begin the new year, we will continue optimizing all areas of our business while remaining opportunistic with respect to further acquisition related growth opportunities.” Recent Developments On December 16, 2025, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement through a wholly owned subsidiary to acquire certain assets and properties used in cannabis dispensaries operated in the State of Colorado owned by PharmaCann Inc.

Under the terms of the agreement, the Company expects to issue subordinate voting shares with an estimated value of $49,000,000 and assume certain liabilities as consideration for the acquired assets. The share consideration is subject to certain adjustments. On December 22, 2025, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger to acquire Eaze Inc. (“Eaze”) in a business combination transaction. Pursuant to the agreement, following the closing of the transaction, the Company expects to issue subordinate voting shares as consideration for all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Eaze. The estimated closing consideration is approximately $47,000,000, subject to customary post-closing adjustments. The merger agreement also provides for potential earnout consideration payable in the Company’s subordinate voting shares based on Eaze’s future financial performance, subject to contractual limitations.
