The acquisition converts a lease liability into owned real estate but at a high cost — $49M at 15% interest alone implies ~$7.4M annual interest on the seller note. Monitor the next 10-Q for debt service coverage ratios and whether the facility's cash flow can support the combined interest burden. The two-year maturity on the seller note creates refinancing risk in 2027.

Executive Summary
Vireo Growth exercised its purchase option to acquire a 389,000 sq ft cannabis cultivation facility in Perth, NY from an IIP subsidiary for $88.5M. The deal was funded by a $49M seller-financed note (15% interest, matures May 2027) and a $41M second-lien loan from Chicago Atlantic (prime + 5.75%, matures May 2028). The company now owns the facility free of lease obligations but carries $90M in new secured debt with aggressive interest costs.
