The news comes on the heels of Indiva's June announcement that it's restructuring its business.

The deal between the two Canadian companies has been entered into in the context of the CCAA Proceedings, as part of a sales process where the Indiva Assets will be marketed to prospective purchasers by PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc., the monitor in the CCAA Proceedings.

The report from the monitor, issued in the CCAA Proceedings, estimates the value of the credit bid and cash consideration payable by SNDL to be roughly between CA$25 million ($18.3 million) to CA$28 million.

Why It Matters

What's Next

The sale process is expected to close by September 30, 2024.
