Canopy Growth Corp. has signed a deal to exchange C$255.4 million of its debt for shares and a little bit of cash.
Under the agreement with a limited number of noteholders, the Smiths Falls-based cannabis company will acquire the 4.25 per cent unsecured convertible senior notes due in 2023 for about C$252.8 million in shares plus approximately C$3 million in cash for accrued and unpaid interest.
The price used to value the shares will be the volume-weighted average trading price on the Nasdaq Global Select Market for the 10 consecutive trading days beginning Thursday, subject to a floor price of US$2.50 and a maximum of US$3.50 per share.
