NORWOOD, Mass., March 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MariMed Inc. ("MariMed" or "the Company") (CSE: MRMD) (OTCQX: MRMD), a leading cannabis consumer packaged goods company and retailer, announced today that it has entered into a Restructuring and Exchange Agreement (the "Agreement") with the holders (the "Holders") of its $14.725 million Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series B Obligation"). The restructuring extends the maturity of the Company's obligations on favorable market terms.
The Agreement eliminates the Company's February 28, 2026 mandatory conversion date obligation and replaces it with a combination of long-dated instruments. As a result, the transaction extends the weighted average maturity of the obligation 4.6 years, significantly reducing near-term refinancing risk and enhancing the Company's liquidity profile.
Under the Agreement, the Company issued:
- a $2 million promissory note maturing in March 2028, bearing interest at 8 percent with a two-year term;
- a $6 million promissory note maturing in March 2031, bearing interest at 10 percent with a five-year term; and
- $6.725 million of Series B Convertible Preferred Shares, valued at $0.25 per share, which are subject to mandatory conversion in February 2031, unless converted earlier pursuant to its terms.
Additional details of the restructuring are available in a Form 8-K filed by the Company earlier today that is accessible on MariMed's Investor Relations website at ir.marimedinc.com.
"We are pleased to successfully complete the restructuring, which meaningfully extends the maturity profile of the obligation and enhances our financial flexibility," said MariMed CEO Jon Levine. "By eliminating this 2026 obligation, we have strengthened our balance sheet and positioned the Company to focus on executing our growth initiatives. The obligation as restructured includes both unsecured debt at favorable market rates and an equity component with a conversion feature at a significant premium to current market. We thank the Holders for their cooperative and collaborative approach to the restructuring and sharing the vision of MariMed's future."
