Aurora Cannabis Reaffirms Recommendation to Shareholders: REJECT Curaleaf's Revised Hostile Bid; Preserve Opportunities for Future Upside
Aurora says the revised offer undervalues its global business and asks shareholders to wait while a special committee reviews strategic alternatives.
- On Wednesday, Aurora Cannabis Inc. reconfirmed its unanimous Board recommendation to reject Curaleaf Holdings' revised hostile bid, stating the $5 per share offer significantly undervalues the company.
- Curaleaf launched its hostile takeover attempt in August after private deal negotiations stalled, initially offering $4 per share before raising the bid to $5 to persuade shareholders.
- Executive Chairman and CEO Miguel Martin stated Aurora is "debt-free with a strong cash position," arguing the revised bid asks shareholders to sacrifice "future upside" at a discount.
- Shareholders are urged to take no action regarding the offer, which remains open until December 4, 2026, allowing time to evaluate other strategic possibilities.
- The Special Committee is actively exploring strategic alternatives including third-party transactions or remaining independent, warning that tendering early could undermine opportunities for a superior outcome.
