STAMFORD, Conn., Oct. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Curaleaf Holdings, Inc. (TSX: CURA) (OTCQX: CURLF) ("Curaleaf" or the "Company"), a leading international provider of consumer cannabis products, today announced that it has entered into an amended and restated credit agreement with Needham Bank of its revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility"), expanding the borrowing capacity from $40 million to $100 million and extending the maturity to up to five years.    

Boris Jordan, Chairman and CEO of Curaleaf, said "I couldn't be prouder of our team for the focus, discipline, and collaboration that made completing this $100 million facility possible. Not only does this increased credit line provide us greater flexibility to execute our strategic plan but also demonstrates the confidence Needham has in our long-term objectives." 

"This first of-its-kind transaction of this scale in the cannabis industry was backed by the direct support and strong conviction of our lenders in our business and future," said Ed Kremer CFO of Curaleaf. "It represents a significant step toward broader access to capital markets and signals progress toward establishing financial standards in a sector that has historically faced limited institutional participation.
