On Monday,
Trulieve Cannabis Corp. (CSE:TRUL) (OTCQX:TCNNF) announced it's purchasing
Harvest Health & Recreation Inc. (CSE:HARV) (OTCQX:HRVSF) for roughly $2.1 billion in stock. Harvest shareholders will own roughly 26.7% of Trulieve's issued and outstanding pro forma shares on a fully diluted basis.
Commenting on the deal, Debra Borchardt, CEO of Green Market Report, told Benzinga, “The acquisition is likely to come with its fair share of headaches. Harvest Health has a mountain of debt and lots of lawsuits over various deals. Still Trulieve is certainly on a quest to become a nationwide company and this will certainly help pave the way.”
