Curaleaf Holdings, Inc. - Form 8-K Filing

Curaleaf Holdings, Inc. has filed a Form 8-K report detailing their submission of an application to the Alberta Securities Commission (ASC). The application seeks to halt Aurora's share issuance program, referred to as the "ATM Program," while Curaleaf's offer to acquire Aurora remains pending. Curaleaf argues that Aurora's share issuances are an improper and abusive defensive tactic that dilutes shareholders and interferes with the consideration of Curaleaf's premium offer. The company asserts that Aurora's ATM issuances have diluted Aurora shareholders by approximately 11% since the program's inception and by about 5% since June 2026, thereby increasing the cost of Curaleaf's offer by over US$11 million. Curaleaf has requested an expedited hearing before the ASC to address these concerns and protect Aurora shareholders from ongoing dilution.
