Item 1A. Risk Factors
For information regarding factors that could affect our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, see the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A in the Annual Report. Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A in our Annual Report.
There can be no certainty that all conditions to the Floating Share Arrangement and the Acreage Amending Agreement will be satisfied or waived, including, in the case of the Floating Share Arrangement, obtaining approval of the Amendment Proposal by the Exercise Outside Date, which may result in the acquisition of Acreage not being completed.
There can be no certainty, nor can the Company provide any assurance, that all conditions precedent contained in the Floating Share Arrangement Agreement and the Acreage Amending Agreement will be satisfied or waived, including that the current Exercise Outside Date of March 31, 2024 is extended or in the event of a default pursuant to the Acreage Debt. In addition, the Floating Share Arrangement is subject to certain conditions precedent which, among other things, includes the receipt of approval from the Company’s shareholders on the Amendment Proposal by the Exercise Outside Date. There can be no certainty, nor can the Company provide any assurance, that these conditions will be satisfied or, if satisfied, when they will be satisfied. If such conditions precedent are not satisfied, it may result in the acquisition of Acreage not being completed.
Acreage’s financial statements express doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
Acreage’s publicly available financial statements as of and for three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 filed with the SEC on November 14, 2023 (“Acreage’s September 30, 2023 Interim Financial Statements”) express doubt about Acreage’s ability to continue as a going concern. In particular, Acreage’s September 30, 2023 Interim Financial Statements state: “[Acreage] had an accumulated deficit as of September 30, 2023, as well as a net loss and negative cash flow from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Additionally, subsequent to quarter end [Acreage] was temporarily in default of the [Hempco Debenture, pursuant to which a subsidiary of Acreage owed approximately $46.8 million to a subsidiary of Canopy Growth as of September 30, 2023][. . .] These factors raise substantial doubt about [Acreage]’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the issuance of these financial statements.” In the event that Acreage is unable to continue as a going concern, the Acreage Amended Arrangement and the Floating Share Arrangement may not be completed. In the event that the Acreage Amended Arrangement and the Floating Share Arrangement are completed and Acreage is unable to continue as a going concern, this would have a negative impact on Canopy USA’s business, financial results and operations and have an adverse impact on the Company’s United States strategy, and, ultimately, the Company’s financial results and operations.
In view of the foregoing, Acreage’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its continued operations, which in turn is dependent upon, among other things, Acreage’s ability to meet its financial requirements. There is no assurance that Acreage will be successful in its plans to fund its operations and debt obligations as they become due and payable. Accordingly, in the event Acreage cannot satisfy its debt obligations as they become due, we may lose the Option Premium. In addition, Acreage may be required to terminate or significantly curtail its operations or enter into arrangements with third parties that may require Acreage to relinquish rights to certain aspects of its business and/or dispose of certain assets, which may ultimately result in Acreage not being able to satisfy the conditions in the Amended Acreage Arrangement and the Floating Share Arrangement and the acquisition of Acreage not being completed.
