Key Details

• Shares issued: 2,841,650 shares of common stock (par value $0.0001).

Why It Matters
This transaction reduces Tilray’s outstanding convertible debt by $12 million and removes the related future principal (and associated interest) tied to those specific notes. At the same time, it increases the company’s outstanding common shares by 2,841,650, resulting in dilution for existing shareholders. Investors should weigh the benefit of lower debt and interest obligations against the impact of a larger share count on earnings per share and ownership percentages.
