The news comes on the heels of Indiva's ( NDVAF ) June announcement that it's restructuring its business.

The deal between the two Canadian companies has been entered into in the context of the CCAA Proceedings, as part of a sales process where the Indiva Assets will be marketed to prospective purchasers by PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc., the monitor in the CCAA Proceedings.

The report from the monitor, issued in the CCAA Proceedings, estimates the value of the credit bid and cash consideration payable by SNDL ( SNDL ) to be roughly between CA$25 million ($18.3 million) to CA$28 million.

Why It Matters

The acquisition of the Indiva Assets is expected to boost SNDL’s product portfolio, and reinforce its position in the Canadian cannabis market.

Indiva’s cannabis brands include Pearls by Grön, No Future Gummies and Vapes, Bhang Chocolate, Indiva Blips Tablets, Indiva Doppio Sandwich Cookies and Indiva ( NDVAF ) 1432 Chocolate.

What's Next

The sale process is expected to close by September 30, 2024.

With the move, SNDL ( SNDL ) has become Delta 9’s senior secured creditor with a priority security interest in all of the assets of Delta 9 and certain Delta 9 subsidiaries. The purchased Indebtedness brings Delta 9’s total indebtedness owing to SNDL ( SNDL ) to CA$40,653,352.
