Green Thumb Amends RYTHM Notes and Warrants, Removes Ownership Cap; $72M Notes Affected
Green Thumb Industries (GTBIF) amended its secured convertible notes, pre-funded warrants, and shared services agreement with RYTHM to remove a 49.99% beneficial ownership cap. The amendment affects $72.0M of original principal and warrants for up to 9,731,638 shares, effective Oct 10, 2026. Green Thumb will consolidate RYTHM from that date, without intending to exercise the securities.
How this was made
The 30-second read
Why it matters
Removing the 49.99% beneficial ownership cap is intended to align control mechanics so Green Thumb consolidates RYTHM in its financial statements starting Oct 10, 2026.
Market read
This is a concrete capital-structure and control-mechanics change that can alter future reported financial statements from a specified date.
What to watch
Traders may need to monitor whether the amendment changes future funding needs, interest expense, or RYTHM governance beyond the cap removal, since those details are not in the excerpt.

Low, as the event is company-specific and accounting-structure driven.
