Aurora adds an EU GMP cultivator via a $26.5M cash-and-share deal.
Aurora Cannabis, through a wholly owned subsidiary, acquired all shares of Safari Flower Company, an EU GMP certified cannabis cultivator and manufacturer, for aggregate consideration of $26.5 million. Payment combines cash and Aurora common shares, with a portion contingent on conditions.
The structure includes $15 million cash at closing, issuance of 2,417,180 common shares, and a further $2 million cash component that depends on satisfying specified conditions. Customary post-closing adjustments apply, which can slightly change the final consideration.
This move adds an established EU GMP platform, which is important for medical and export markets, but the filing does not quantify Safari Flower Company’s revenues or profitability. Future disclosures in company filings may provide more detail on integration progress and financial contribution.
