Curaleaf rebuts Aurora board rejection, cites 86% premium and 217% ex-cash premium for enhanced bid
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Curaleaf says its enhanced hostile offer for Aurora carries an 86% premium to Aurora's unaffected 30-day VWAP and 217% on an ex-cash basis; the bid is referenced at $5.00 per share.
- Aurora's Oct. 14, 2026 Notice of Change again urged rejection; Curaleaf says it is still denied diligence while Aurora signed confidentiality and standstill pacts with other parties.
- Curaleaf cites Aurora ATM sales as low as $2.60/share in July 2026 and says Aurora's implied 14.3x 2026 Adjusted EBITDA multiple exceeds Curaleaf's 13.7x (IFRS).
- Curaleaf says Aurora's Adjusted EBITDA fell 63% across its last two quarters and questions Fort Capital's contingent fees and lack of supporting analysis in its fairness opinion.
- Seaport Research (Oct. 15) and ATB Capital Markets (Oct. 6) are quoted supporting engagement or calling the revised bid favorable for Aurora shareholders.
