CAPITAL RAISES
- Number of transactions are down again this week vs. the prior year period (2 vs. 14) as is the aggregate dollars raised ($10.5M vs. $189.6M) as the market crawls to year-end.
- Vertosa, run by industry veteran Ben Larson, raised $6 million as the CBD space continues to expand. As the demand for CDB grows, companies are looking for better solutions to infuse products from a taste, consistency and bio-availability perspective.
- Leaf Trade raised growth capital to expand its wholesale marketplace. Technology is gaining traction as operators are rewarded for running a more operationally efficient business.
MERGERS & ACQUISITIONS
- We continue to see a lack of acquisition activity as operators focus on existing assets and organic growth.
- There is a market shift towards stock-for-stock mergers vs cash-based acquisitions in order to achieve economies of scale while preserving cash.
- More companies are terminating previously announced transactions that were either overpriced at the time of the announcement or are no longer core to organic growth.
- We are also seeing an increased pace of asset divestitures meant to raise capital. 4Front Ventures announced the divestiture of its Arkansas assets last week.
