SUBJECT: TILRAY ANNOUNCES GAME-CHANGING MEDMEN TRANSACTION
On August 17, 2021 Tilray, Inc. (Nasdaq l TSX: TLRY), a leading global cannabis-lifestyle and consumer packaged goods company, announced that it has acquired the majority of the outstanding senior secured convertible notes (the “ Notes ”) of MedMen that were originally held by Gotham Green Partners LLP and certain affiliated and other funds (collectively, “ GGP ”). MedMen is a leading cannabis retail brand in the U.S., holding 21 licenses and 25 retail locations across key urban centers, including the Bay Area, Los Angeles, Boston, Chicago, and Las Vegas, and a significant position in California, the world’s largest market.
Full details can be found in the attached press release.
The transaction provides Tilray with powerful strategic benefits:
-
Secure right to acquire potential ownership in a U.S. MSO with one of the most recognizable and iconic cannabis brands in the U.S. retail cannabis space
-
MedMen’s strong presence in the U.S. offers Tilray an opportunity to develop strategic opportunities including commercial arrangements, joint ventures and other significant transactions that offer the potential to expand Tilray’s presence into the U.S. cannabis sector when it is permitted to do so
-
Upon U.S. federal legalization, Tilray would be positioned to develop a potential strategic leadership position, with distribution across desirable cannabis locations in the U.S. including the prized California market, which would offer an opportunity to drive growth for Tilray’s CPG cannabis brand portfolio.
Tilray needs your support for Proposal 1 to optimize the execution of the MedMen transaction. We encourage all stockholders to cast a vote FOR this proposal as recommended by our Board of Directors.
