SNDL Inc. (NASDAQ: SNDL) (“SNDL”) and Nova Cannabis Inc. (TSX: NOVC) (“Nova”) announced today that while all other provincial approvals have been received, the continued review by one provincial regulator has necessitated a further extension of the outside date for the closing of the previously-announced strategic partnership (the “Transaction”). SNDL and Nova anticipate that the Transaction will close on or before August 25, 2023, subject to receipt of regulatory approval and the amendment to certain terms of the Transaction that are mutually satisfactory to SNDL and Nova.
In addition, SNDL and Nova have extended the maturity date of Nova’s revolving credit facility with SNDL to August 25, 2023.
To date, all pre-closing conditions for the completion of the Transaction have been satisfied other than the parties’ receipt of regulatory approval from one provincial regulator.

Forward-looking information is typically, but not always, identified by the use of words such as “will”, “expect”, “project”, “to be”, “believe”, “anticipate” and similar words, including negatives thereof, or other similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. Forward-looking information in this news release includes, but is not limited to, statements regarding the anticipated completion of the Transaction and the timing thereof, and the receipt by SNDL and Nova of the requisite regulatory approvals and the timing thereof.

Although SNDL and Nova believe that the assumptions and factors on which such forward-looking information is based are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking information because neither SNDL nor Nova can give any assurance that it will prove to be correct or that any of the events anticipated by such forward-looking information will transpire or occur, or if any of them do so, what benefits Nova and/or SNDL will derive therefrom. Actual results could differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of factors and risks including, but not limited to: the risk that the Transaction is not completed as anticipated or at all, including the timing thereof, and if completed, that the benefits thereof will not be as anticipated; the risk that necessary regulatory approvals are not obtained as anticipated or at all, and the timing thereof; the risk that the conditions to closing of the Transaction are not satisfied or waived; risks associated with general economic conditions; adverse industry events; future legislative, tax and regulatory developments, including developments that may impact the closing of the Transaction as anticipated or at all; conditions in the liquor and cannabis industries; the risk that Nova or SNDL does not receive any necessary retail cannabis approvals and/or authorizations or that they are not able to open additional retail cannabis stores, directly or indirectly, as anticipated or at all; the ability of management to execute its business strategy, objectives and plans; the availability of capital to fund the build-out and opening of additional retail cannabis stores; and the impact of general economic conditions.
