- Description of Business and Summary
Vireo Growth Inc. (“Vireo Growth” or the “Company”) (formerly,Goodness Growth Holdings, Inc.) was incorporated under the Alberta Business Corporations Act on November 23, 2004. The Company was previously listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”) under the ticker symbol “GDNS”. On July 8, 2024, the Company changed its name to Vireo Growth Inc., its ticker symbol on the CSE to “VREO” and its ticker symbol on the OTCQX to “VREOF.”
Vireo Growth is a cannabis company whose mission is to provide safe access, quality products and value to its customers while supporting its local communities through active participation and restorative justice programs. Vireo Growth operates cannabis cultivation, production, and dispensary facilities in Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New York, and Utah.
While marijuana and CBD-infused products are legal under the laws of several U.S. states (with vastly differing restrictions), the United States Federal Controlled Substances Act (the “CSA”) classifies all “marijuana” as a Schedule I drug. Under U.S. federal law, a Schedule I drug or substance has a high potential for abuse, has no accepted medical use in the United States, and lacks accepted safety for use under medical supervision. Recently, some federal officials have attempted to distinguish between medical cannabis and adult-use cannabis by indicating that medical cannabis is necessary while adult-use cannabis is “still a violation of federal law.” At the present time, the distinction between “medical marijuana” and “adult-use marijuana” does not exist under U.S. federal law.
Update on Verano Litigation
On October 21, 2022, Vireo Growth commenced an action in the Supreme Court of British Columbia against Verano Holdings Corp. ("Verano") after Verano repudiated the Arrangement Agreement with the Company dated January 31, 2022 (the “Arrangement Agreement”). The Company is seeking damages, costs and interest, based on Verano's breach of contract and breach of its duty of good faith and honest performance.
On May 2, 2024, the Company filed a Notice of Application (the "Summary Trial Application") with the Supreme Court of British Columbia seeking summary determination. The Company is seeking substantial damages, totaling$860.9 million, as well as other costs and legal fees, based on Verano’s breach of contract and breach of its duty of good faith and honest performance.
On June 19, 2024, Verano filed a Notice of Application (the “Preliminary Suitability Application”) seeking orders dismissing the Summary Trial Application on the basis that certain issues in the action are not suitable for summary determination. The Preliminary Suitability Application is in the process of being scheduled.
Due to uncertainties inherent in litigation, it is not possible for Vireo Growth to predict the timing or final outcome of the legal proceedings against Verano or to determine the amount of damages, if any, that may be awarded. See Note 16 “Commitments and Contingencies” for additional information.

Net loss per share
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing reported net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reported period. Diluted net loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock of the Company during the reporting period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares and the number of potential dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period. Potential
dilutive common share equivalents consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of vested share options and the incremental shares issuable upon conversion of the convertible notes. Potential dilutive common share equivalents consist of stock options, warrants, and restricted stock units (“RSUs”).
In computing diluted earnings per share, common share equivalents are not considered in periods in which a net loss is reported, as the inclusion of the common share equivalents would be anti-dilutive. The Company recorded a net loss for each of the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, as presented in these financial statements, and as such there is no difference between the Company’s basic and diluted net loss per share for these periods.
The anti-dilutive shares outstanding for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, were as follows:
| | | | | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| · · Six Months Ended | ||||
| · · June 30, | ||||
| · · 2025 · 2024 | ||||
| Stock options | | 30,359,033 | 29,843,198 | |
| Warrants | | 18,541,586 | 19,237,649 | |
| RSUs | | 72,098,150 | | 2,500,916 |

Acquisitions
On December 18, 2024, the Company, entered into Merger Agreements with respect to the Mergers. Each Merger was an all-share transaction whereby, at the closing of each applicable Merger, (i) a new wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company merged with and into Deep Roots, (ii) a new wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company merged with and into Wholesome, and (iii) the Proper entities each merged with and into new wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. None of the Deep Roots Merger, the Proper Mergers or the Wholesome Merger were contingent on the completion of any of the other Mergers.
The consideration paid to acquire each of Deep Roots, Proper and Wholesome was based, in each case, in part, on an estimated multiple of a 2024 “Closing EBITDA,” which was pro forma for pending acquisitions, planned new retail
openings and expansion projects, and a US$0.52 share reference price for the Company’s subordinate voting shares (each subordinate voting share an “SVS” and collectively, the “SVSs”).
Pursuant to the Merger Agreements, former stockholders of Proper, Wholesome, and certain former stockholders of Deep Roots may qualify for earnout payments made with the Company’s SVSs following December 31, 2026, based on each target’s Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the applicable Merger Agreement) growth compared to such target’s Closing EBITDA (as defined in the applicable Merger Agreement) (plus, with respect to Deep Roots,$1,000,000 in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) attributed to a new retail location) (at a 4 x multiple), adjusted for incremental debt and certain other matters, respectively, and paid out using a share price for the Company’s SVSs of the higher of US$1.05 or the 20-day volume weighted average price of the Company’s SVSs on the CSE, converted to United States Dollars based on the average exchange rate posted by the Bank of Canada as of the end of each trading day during such 20-day period, as reported by Bloomberg Finance L.P. (the “VWAP”) as of December 31, 2026. The Closing EBITDA for Deep Roots, Proper and Wholesome are US$30.0 million, US$31.0 million, and US$16.0 million, respectively. EBITDA growth is defined as the increase between the Closing EBITDA and the higher of 2026 Adjusted EBITDA or the trailing nine-month annualized Adjusted EBITDA as of immediately prior to December 31, 2026. In no event shall the number of earnout shares issued under each Merger Agreement exceed the number of shares issued as closing merger consideration under each Merger Agreement.
Each of the Merger Agreements provides for the clawback of up to 50% of the upfront merger consideration (excluding, in the case of Proper and Wholesome, the amounts described in the next paragraph that are attributable to Arches, as defined below) on December 31, 2026, if (1) for Wholesome and Deep Roots, (a) 2026 Adjusted EBITDA underperforms 96.5% of the Closing EBITDA, and (b) the retail revenue market share or EBITDA margin for 2026 is less (or lower) than 2024 and (c) the 20-day VWAP as of immediately prior to December 31, 2026 is greater than US$1.05 per share, and (2) for Proper, 2026 Adjusted EBITDA underperforms 96.5% of the Closing EBITDA. The amount of shares subject to a clawback would be equal to the Acquisition Multiple (as defined in each Merger Agreement) of 4.175 for each of Deep Roots, Proper and Wholesome, respectively, multiplied by the EBITDA shortfall, and subject to certain other adjustments for incremental debt and certain other matters, set forth in the applicable Merger Agreement, divided by US$0.52 per share.
In connection with the Merger Agreement with Wholesome (the “Wholesome Merger Agreement”) and the Merger Agreement with Proper (the “Proper Merger Agreement”), the Company will include in the stock merger consideration calculation an amount equal to (i) US$11,860,800 for Wholesome and (ii) US$2,139,200 for Proper for all of the outstanding equity interests in Arches IP, Inc. (“Arches”) owned by Wholesome and Proper, respectively. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Wholesome Merger Agreement and the Proper Merger Agreement, each of Wholesome, Proper and Arches option holders are collectively entitled to earnout payments based on the performance of Arches, based on the greater of US$37.5 million or 5 x certain revenue percentages of Arches minus$4,000,000, with such revenue percentage amounts measured at the higher of the trailing-twelve-month or nine-month annualized amounts as of December 31, 2026, paid out using a share price for the Company’s SVSs at the higher of US$1.05 or the 20-day VWAP as of immediately prior to December 31, 2026.
Wholesome
On May 12, 2025, the Company closed the Wholesome Merger contemplated by the Wholesome Merger Agreement. The Company analyzed the acquisition under Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-01,Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business and determined that the Wholesome Merger should be accounted for as a business combination. Goodwill represents the premium the Company paid over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired. The goodwill arising from the Wholesome Merger primarily consists of the synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the operations of the Company and Wholesome, including growing the Company's customer base, acquiring assembled workforces, and expanding its presence in new and existing markets. These benefits were not recognized separately from goodwill because they do not meet the recognition criteria for identifiable intangible assets.

Under the terms of the Deep Roots Merger Agreement, the selling shareholders of Deep Roots may become eligible to receive contingent consideration in the form of the Company’s SVSs based on the growth in the Adjusted EBITDA of the respective target company as of December 31, 2026, relative to a predefined Closing EBITDA plus$1,000,000 in EBITDA attributed to a new retail location. The earnout amount is calculated using a 4 x multiple of the EBITDA increase (defined as the greater of the actual 2026 Adjusted EBITDA or the trailing nine-month annualized Adjusted EBITDA as of December 31, 2026, less the Closing EBITDA), subject to certain adjustments for incremental debt and other factors as defined in the Merger Agreements. Additionally, the Deep Roots Merger Agreement contains a clawback provision whereby up to 50% of the initial merger consideration shares may be forfeited, if (a) 2026 Adjusted EBITDA underperforms 96.5% of the Closing EBITDA, and (b) the retail revenue market share or EBITDA margin for 2026 is less (or lower) than 2024 and (c) the 20-day VWAP as of immediately prior to December 31, 2026 is greater than US$1.05 per share.
As of June 30, 2025, the Company recorded a contingent consideration liability of $2,625,000, which represents the estimated fair value of the potential earnout payments based on management’s current projections of Adjusted EBITDA performance relative to the Closing EBITDA thresholds. This contingent consideration was classified as a Level 3 liability within the fair value hierarchy and will be remeasured at each reporting date with changes in fair value recognized in earnings.
The indemnification asset was classified as a non-current asset in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2025, and will be adjusted in future periods if the related liability is settled, released, or remeasured. Changes in the fair value of the indemnification asset, if any, will be recorded in earnings in the same financial statement line item as the change in the related liability. As of June 30, 2025, there wereno changes in the estimated amount of the indemnified tax exposure or the related asset.
The unaudited pro forma information for the periods set forth below gives effect to the Deep Roots Merger as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2025. This pro forma information is presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved had the transaction been consummated as of that time nor does it purport to be indicative of future financial operating results.

Purchase Price Allocations
The above purchase price allocations are provisional specifically for determination of any deferred tax impact, valuation of contingent consideration, fair value of assets and liabilities including measurement of working capital adjustments pending the adjustment periods defined within the acquisition transaction agreements.
The Company will continue to examine the above during the measurement period and adjustments will be made based on facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date once subsequently finalized and within the measurement period.
Assets Held for Sale
As of June 30, 2025, the Company identified property and equipment, deposits, and lease assets and liabilities associated with the businesses in New York, Nevada, and Massachusetts with carrying amounts that are expected to be recovered principally through sale or disposal rather than through continuing use. The Company believes the sale of these assets and liabilities is highly probable, they can be sold in their immediate condition, and the sales are expected to occur within the next twelve months. As such, these assets and liabilities have been classified as “held for sale.” Management does not believe these divestitures represent a strategic shift that has or will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated operations and financial results, and as such, none of these divestitures are considered a discontinued operation. The carrying value of these net assets did not exceed fair value less expected cost to sell, and as such, the Company recordedno impairment loss. Assets and liabilities held for sale as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were as follows:

- Fair Value Measurements
The Company complies with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are observable such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.
Items measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis
The Company’s non-financial assets, such as prepayments and other current assets, long lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets, are measured at fair value when there is an indicator of impairment and are recorded at fair value only when an impairment charge is recognized. No indicators of impairment existed as of June 30, 2025, and thereforeno impairment charges were recorded.
The carrying value of the Company’s marketable securities, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature, and the carrying value of notes receivable, long-term debt, and convertible debt approximates fair value as they bear a market rate of interest.
The carrying value of the Company’s warrants held and contingent consideration utilize Level 3 inputs given there is no market activity for the asset. The inputs used are further described in Note 18.

Under the terms of the EIP, a total often percent of the number of shares outstanding, assuming conversion of all super voting shares and MVSs to SVSs are permitted to be issued. The exercise price for incentive stock options issued under the EIP will be set by the compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors but will not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Company’s shares on the date of grant. Incentive stock options have a maximum term of 10 years from the date of grant. The incentive stock options vest at the discretion of the Company’s board of directors.

- Commitments and Contingencies
Legal proceedings
Verano
On January 31, 2022, the Company entered into the Arrangement Agreement with Verano, pursuant to which Verano was to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Vireo Growth pursuant to a Plan of Arrangement. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Arrangement Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement, holders of Vireo Growth Shares would receive 0.22652 of a Verano Subordinate Voting Share, subject to adjustment as described below, for each Subordinate Voting Share held, and 22.652 Verano Subordinate Voting Shares for each Multiple Voting Share and Super Voting Share held, immediately prior to the effective time of the Arrangement.
On October 13, 2022, Vireo Growth received a notice of purported termination of the Arrangement Agreement (the “Notice”) from Verano. The Notice asserted certain breaches of the Arrangement Agreement, including claims the Company’s public filings and communications with respect to its business and ongoing operations were misleading and that the Company breached its representations to Verano under the Arrangement Agreement. Verano also claimed, as a result of such breaches, it is entitled to payment of a $14,875,000 termination fee and its transaction expenses. Vireo Growth denies all of Verano’s allegations and affirmatively asserts that it has complied with its obligations under the Arrangement Agreement, and with its disclosure obligations under US and Canadian law, in all material respects at all times. The Company believes that Verano has no factual or legal basis to justify or support its purported termination of the Arrangement Agreement, which the Company determined to treat as a repudiation of the Arrangement Agreement.
On October 21, 2022, Vireo Growth commenced an action in the Supreme Court of British Columbia against Verano after Verano wrongfully repudiated the Arrangement Agreement. The Company is seeking damages, costs and interest, based on Verano's breach of contract and of its duty of good faith and honest performance.
On November 14, 2022, Verano filed counterclaims against the Company for the termination fee and transaction expenses described above.
On July 31, 2023, the Company filed a requisition for adjournment of its application filed July 14, 2023, and set for hearing on July 31, 2023, to compel Verano’s compliance with document production based upon the Company’s belief that Verano was engaging in tactics to delay the litigation.
Throughout 2023, the Company served 4 lists of documents, reviewed document production from Verano, and prepared for examinations for discovery.
On May 2, 2024, the Company filed the Summary Trial Application the Supreme Court of British Columbia for summary determination. The Company is seeking substantial damages, specifically US $860.9 million, as well as other costs and legal fees, based on Verano’s breach of contract and of its duty of good faith and honest performance.
On June 19, 2024, Verano filed the Preliminary Suitability Application seeking orders dismissing the Summary Trial Application on the basis that certain issues in the action are not suitable for summary determination. The Preliminary Suitability Application is in the process of being scheduled
Due to uncertainties inherent in litigation, it is not possible for Vireo Growth to predict the timing or final outcome of the legal proceedings against Verano or to determine the amount of damages, if any, that may be awarded. The damages sought will be significant and material given that Verano’s breach left the Company in a vulnerable position resulting in the Company being constrained in its ability to fund growth initiatives that were desirable and that its competitors were able to undertake, most notably in Minnesota and New York markets.
Lease commitments
The Company leases various facilities, under non-cancelable finance and operating leases, which expire at various dates through September 2041.

- Other Income (Expense)
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) provides an employee retention credit (“CARES Employee Retention Credit”), which is a refundable tax credit against certain employment taxes of up to $5,000 per employee for eligible employers. The CARES Employee Retention Credit was initially equal to 50% of qualified wages paid to employees during a quarter, capped at $10,000 of qualified wages per employee through December 31, 2020. Additional relief provisions were later passed by the United States government, which extended and slightly expanded the qualified wage caps on these credits through December 31, 2021. Based on these additional provisions, the CARES Employee Retention Credit is now equal to 70% of qualified wages paid to employees during a quarter, and the
limit on qualified wages per employee has been increased to $10,000 of qualified wages per quarter. The Company applied for and received a CARES Employee Retention Credit equal to$0 and$972,888, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and$0 for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. These amounts were recorded in other income on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
On May 25, 2023, the Company and Grown Rogue International, Inc. (“Grown Rogue”) entered into a strategic agreement whereby Grown Rogue will support the Company in the optimization of its cannabis flower products. As part of this strategic agreement Grown Rogue granted the Company 8,500,000 warrants to purchase subordinate voting shares of Grown Rogue on October 5, 2023. Subsequently, on October 9, 2024, the Company and Grown Rogue mutually agreed to terminate the strategic agreement. As part of the termination agreement, the Company forfeited 4,500,000 of the previously granted 8,500,000 warrants. The Company’s remaining 4,000,000 warrants were revalued at a fair value of$1,272,440 and$2,270,964 at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The fair value was derived from a Black-Scholes valuation using a stock price of$0.40, an exercise price of$0.165, an expected life of 3.27 years, an annual risk free rate of 3.79%, and volatility of 100%. The three and six-months ended June 30, 2025 saw a change in fair value of$479,465 and$998,524, respectively, whichwas recorded as other expense in the statement of net loss and comprehensive loss for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2025.
- Segment Reporting
The Company utilized the guidance in ASC 280 to determine how many reportable segments the Company has. The Company considered various factors including, but not limited to, the Company’s products and services, production processes, customers, regulatory environment, and business geography, as well as the degree to which the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker evaluates the Company’s performance and allocates resources. The Company determined that cannabis is itsone and only reportable segment because (a) the company’s products and services are limited to various forms of cannabis products, (b) the company’s customers include retail and wholesale customers, (c) the Company’s geography and regulatory environment are the United States, and (d) the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker assesses performance and allocates resources at the consolidated level.
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer serves as the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker. The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker assesses performance for the cannabis segment and decides how to allocate resources based on operating profit and net income that also is reported on the income statement as consolidated net income. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet total as consolidated assets. The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker uses net income to evaluate income generated from segment assets in deciding the appropriate capital allocation strategy. A comparison of budgeted results to actual results is also used by the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker to assess business performance.
The Company’s cannabis segment cultivates, processes and distributes medical and adult-use cannabis products in a variety of formats, as well as related accessories, in the United States. Revenue is derived from the sale of these products in the United States, and the assets used to produce these products are also held in the United States. The accounting policy for recording revenue, and all other accounting policies, are the same as those described in Note 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.”

- Financial Instruments
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with counterparty’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to cash, and accounts receivable. A small portion of cash is held on hand, from which management believes the risk of loss is remote. Receivables relate primarily to wholesale sales. The Company does not have significant credit risk with respect to customers. The Company’s maximum credit risk exposure is equivalent to the carrying value of these instruments. The Company has been granted licenses pursuant to the laws of the states of Maryland, Minnesota, and New York with respect to cultivating, processing, and/or distributing marijuana. Presently, this industry is illegal under United States federal law. The Company has adhered, and intends to continue to adhere, strictly to the applicable state statutes in its operations.
Liquidity risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counterparty’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its cash and accounts receivable. A small portion of cash is held on hand, from which the Company believes the risk of loss is remote. The Company’s accounts receivable relate primarily to wholesale sales.

Presently, this industry is illegal under United States federal law. The Company has adhered, and intends to continue to adhere, strictly to the applicable state statutes in its operations.
Legal Risk
Vireo Growth operates in the United States. The U.S. federal government regulates drugs through the CSA, which places controlled substances, including cannabis, in a schedule. Cannabis is classified as a Schedule I drug. Under U.S. federal law, a Schedule I drug or substance has a high potential for abuse, has no accepted medical use in the U.S., and lacks accepted safety for use under medical supervision. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has not approved marijuana as a safe and effective drug for any indication. In the U.S., marijuana is largely regulated at the state level. State laws regulating cannabis are in direct conflict with the federal CSA, which makes cannabis use and possession federally illegal.
Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign currency rates. Given the Company’s financial transactions are rarely denominated in a foreign currency, there is minimal foreign currency risk exposure.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company currently carries variable interest-bearing debt subject to fluctuations in the United States Prime rate.
