Curaleaf secures all competition clearances for Aurora Cannabis bid; offer expires Dec 4
Curaleaf Holdings, Inc.
- Germany's Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy approved on Oct 20, 2026 Curaleaf's acquisition of 100% of voting rights in Aurora Europe, Aurora Deutschland and Aurora Produktions.
- Canada's Competition Bureau issued a no-action letter on Nov 2, 2026; Germany's Federal Cartel Office confirmed on Nov 3 that the deal may be implemented.
- Curaleaf's enhanced premium bid for all Aurora common shares, dated Oct 6, 2026, remains open until Dec 4, 2026 unless withdrawn or amended.
- Curaleaf says the clearances give greater certainty and a faster path to closing than Organigram's competing proposal, which still needs shareholder, court and regulatory approvals.
