Indiva disclosed that it will utilize the net proceeds to fund its outstanding debt, as well as for working capital and general corporate purposes.

In addition, ATB received $330,000 in cash and a financial advisory fee of $220,000.

Why It's Important: Sundial CEO Zach George said the company is "pleased to support the development of Indiva's high-quality products.

"This transaction broadens our exposure to the rapidly expanding cannabis edibles category," George said.

Niel Marotta, president and CEO of Indiva, said the company intends to use the additional financing to boost automation to "drive higher throughput and profitability while ensuring our product quality maintains the best-in-class standard our customers and clients depend upon."

Sundial recently took over a Zenabis Global subsidiary, a special purpose vehicle that owns $58.9 million of its senior secured debt. Zenabis opted to pay Sundial a royalty based on sales revenues coming from its medical, recreational and wholesale cannabis line.

SNDL Price Action: Sundial shares were up 8.73% at $1.37 at last check Wednesday.
