This filing is a defensive rebuttal in an active hostile takeover process. The stock price will likely be driven by developments in the bid (e.g., regulatory rulings, shareholder tenders, or a revised offer) rather than this specific press release. Monitor for regulatory decisions from the Alberta Securities Commission and any revised bids from Curaleaf.

Executive Summary
Aurora Cannabis refutes Curaleaf's application to halt its ATM program, calling it a distraction from Curaleaf's allegedly inadequate hostile bid. Aurora reiterates its board's unanimous recommendation to reject the bid, highlighting its own debt-free status and Curaleaf's $1B+ debt load. The filing is a defensive communication in an ongoing hostile takeover battle, with no new financial data or material corporate events.
Key Facts
- Aurora's Board unanimously recommends shareholders reject Curaleaf's hostile bid and not tender shares.
- Aurora states its ATM program was established in February 2026, months before Curaleaf's hostile bid, and has been inactive for several weeks.
- Aurora claims to be debt-free with a strong cash position, contrasting with Curaleaf's more than $1 billion of debt, including $500 million at 11.5% interest.
- On September 2, Aurora filed a complaint with the Alberta Securities Commission regarding deficiencies in Curaleaf's hostile bid.
- Curaleaf applied to halt Aurora's ATM program; Aurora refutes this as a distraction.
Financial Impact

Risk Factors
