Tilray Brands, Inc. (TLRY), a company focusing on cannabis-lifestyle and consumer packaged goods, has announced its plans to raise $150 million through a convertible senior note offering. This move aims to refinance the company’s existing debt by issuing new notes that can be converted into equity at a later date.
The company aims to utilize a portion of these funds to repurchase its outstanding 5% convertible senior notes due in 2023 and 5.25% convertible senior notes due in 2024.
However, this refinance may result in dilution for existing shareholders. On Friday, Tilray Brands’ stock price experienced a significant drop of 21.4%, reaching $1.86.
On the other hand, the cannabis industry could potentially receive a boost due to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s plans to reintroduce the Secure and Fair Enforcement (SAFE) Banking Act. This act aims to provide essential banking infrastructure for cannabis businesses, opening up new avenues of growth and stability.
In addition to banking provisions, Schumer has stressed the importance of incorporating criminal justice reform measures, such as expungements, into a bipartisan marijuana banking bill. He is actively pursuing a committee vote on the bill and plans to attach criminal justice reform provisions to the financial services measure.
