Alberta regulator rejects Curaleaf challenge to Aurora Cannabis ATM program
The Alberta Securities Commission dismissed Curaleaf Holdings' application to stop Aurora Cannabis' at‑the‑market (ATM) share‑sale program. Aurora said the $100 million ATM program remains compliant and was last used on August 18 2026. The company urged shareholders to reject Curaleaf's hostile offer, which values Aurora at US$5 per share and expires at 11:59 p.m. Mountain Time on December 4 2026. Curaleaf responded by reiterating its intent to pursue the deal, citing an 86% premium.
Why it matters
Aurora can continue raising capital through its ATM program, supporting strategic initiatives. The dismissal removes a regulatory obstacle to the bid, but Aurora’s board still recommends shareholders reject Curaleaf's offer, leaving the takeover outcome uncertain.
