  • Debt accounted for 92% of trailing 8-week capital raises. The ratio may go down if companies are able to utilize favorable regulatory-induced stock price increases to complete equity issues. However, equity pricing has remained stubbornly low while the cannabis debt capital markets have reopened.

 

  • The Week’s Debt Transactions
    • On November 13, 2024, High Tide (HITI: TSX)(HITI: Nasdaq) closed on the final CDN$5M draw on its CDN$15M debt facility.
    • The debt matures on July 31, 2029, and was priced at 90% of par to produce a 15% yield on a 12% coupon.
    • Last week’s Credit Tracker somewhat surprisingly ranked HITI as the fifth best credit in the U.S. or Canada with over $100M market cap due to its strong liquidity and low market-based leverage.
