Terrascend plans to use the proceeds from the Warrant exercise to fund its growth initiatives. Earlier this month, the company announced signing an agreement to acquire Ilera Healthcare, Pennsylvania-based vertically-integrated cannabis company. The value of the deal is estimated between $125 and $225 million in cash and stock.

The company was also selected as one of the six permit applicants for a vertically-integrated medical cannabis operation in New Jersey.
