STAMFORD, Conn., Feb. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Curaleaf Holdings, Inc. (TSX: CURA) (OTCQX: CURLF) ("Curaleaf" or the "Company"), a leading international provider of consumer cannabis products, today announced that it has received commitments for a private placement (the "Offering") of US$500 million aggregate principal amount of 11.5% senior secured notes due February 1, 2029 (the "Notes"). The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Offering to refinance its existing US$475 million senior secured notes due December 15, 2026 ($457 million of which is currently outstanding). The balance will provide incremental capital to support global growth initiatives, and to pay transaction fees and expenses.
The non-dilutive Notes, which will be issued at 100% of face value, will be senior secured obligations of the Company bearing interest at a rate of 11.5% per annum, payable semi-annually in equal installments until the maturity date, unless earlier redeemed or purchased. The Notes will be governed by a trust indenture to be supplemented on closing of the Offering (the "Indenture"), which permits additional note issuances subject to leverage covenants and other terms and conditions, as well as up to US$100 million of senior bank financing. The Offering is expected to close on or about February 18, 2026, subject to customary closing requirements.
"Strong demand from both new and existing investors has delivered a meaningfully oversubscribed Offering that refinances and surpasses our prior commitments, ranking this as the largest note offering in the U.S. cannabis industry to date. There are ten first time cannabis lenders committed in this transaction, which demonstrates the institutional investor confidence in the Curaleaf story buoyed by the exceptional marketing efforts of the placement agents led by Seaport Global Securities," said Boris Jordan, Chairman and CEO of Curaleaf. "This transaction strengthens our balance sheet, extends maturities to 2029, and provides ample flexibility to pursue high-return global growth opportunities, reinforced by our robust and consistent cash generation. With this strategic priority nearing completion, we are well positioned to execute on our long-term growth strategies with strong institutional backing."
The Notes are being offered on a private placement basis in certain provinces and territories of Canada pursuant to applicable exemptions from the prospectus requirements of Canadian securities laws. The Notes may also be sold in the United States to or for the account or benefit of "U.S. persons" (as defined in the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act")), on a private placement basis to "qualified institutional buyers" and "accredited investors" pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act, and in such jurisdictions outside of Canada and the United States as may be agreed upon by the Agents and the Company, in each case in accordance with applicable laws.
