The Largest Closed M&A Deal of the Week:

  • On February 7, 2023, SNDL Inc.  (SNDL: Nasdaq), the fourth largest Canadian LP by market cap,  announced the closing of its acquisition of substantially all of the business and assets of Superette.
    • SNDL entered into a Stalking Horse Agreement to acquire substantially all of the business and assets of Superette on August 29, 2022.
    • The consideration of $5.2M is made up of a credit bid and set off of $3.6M debt owed to SNDL and $1.5M in DIP financing.
    • Stalking Horse Agreements and credit bids are common in Chapter 11 cases in the U.S. However, the federal illegality of cannabis has prevented cannabis companies from accessing the Bankruptcy court, adding uncertainty to the workout process.
    • We expect to see a sharp increase in purchases of cannabis assets out of bankruptcy in Canada in 2023.
