Why It Matters: The acquisition will boost Canopy's brand portfolio by bringing the 7ACRES and 7ACRES Craft Collective brands under its umbrella.

It will also strengthen its cultivation capacities through Supreme Cannabis' hybrid-greenhouse at Kincardine, Ontario, Canopy said. 

Supreme Cannabis shareholders expect to benefit from Canopy's sales and distribution channels and research and development capacities.

Moreover, Canopy's U.S. CBD business will enhance expansion to the U.S. cannabis market.

"Combining Supreme Cannabis with Canopy — a Canadian market leader with exposure to the United States — presents a significant value creation opportunity for both companies. We look forward to working with Canopy to complete this transaction," Beena Goldenberg, president and CEO of Supreme Cannabis, said in a statement. 

What's Next: Canopy said it expects to achieve potential cost synergies of roughly CA$30 million within two years following the closing of the acquisition.

"As we continue to expand our leading brand portfolio, we're excited to reach more consumers through Supreme's premium brands and high-quality products, further solidifying Canopy's market leadership," said Canopy Growth CEO David Klein.
