Hydropothecary has locked down a previously announced bought deal placement, with investors taking an over-allotment option for an extra $20 million in financing.
The full round is worth $150 million and currently stands as the largest public equity deal in Canadian cannabis history – for at least a few days. Smith Falls-based pot producer Canopy Growth expects to close a $200-million round next week.
Hydropothecary (TSX-V:THCX) initially announced it would raise $100 million a few weeks ago, but immediately increased the deal value due to high demand.
