Curaleaf says enhanced Aurora bid stands; faults Aurora board for Organigram diligence access
Curaleaf Holdings, Inc.
- Curaleaf's enhanced premium offer, dated October 6, 2026, to buy all outstanding Aurora common shares remains outstanding; original circular dated August 18, 2026.
- Curaleaf says Aurora's board granted Organigram due diligence access but refused to engage Curaleaf, which it calls a 'gross dereliction' of fiduciary duties.
- Curaleaf says it is awaiting undisclosed terms of Organigram's alternative deal: any break fee, management and board composition, and investor rights granted to BAT.
- Curaleaf notes neither Aurora nor Organigram said whether their transaction is dilutive or accretive to shareholders.
- Curaleaf argues its bid offers better value, a stronger capital markets profile, greater certainty and speed to close, and greater synergies than a 'smaller, less liquid' Organigram.
