Fully allocated with 80% of commitments from four large U.S. Institutional Investors including Wasatch Global
NEW YORK and TORONTO, Jan. 12, 2021 /CNW/ – TerrAscend Corp. (“TerrAscend” or the “Company”) (CSE:TER) (OTCQX: TRSSF), a leading North American cannabis operator, today announced an over subscribed, non-brokered private placement for gross proceeds of approximately C$224 million (“the “Offering”) with 80% of commitments from four large U.S. institutional investors including Wasatch Global. The Offering consists of 18,115,623 common shares in the capital of the Company (the “Common Shares”) issued at the price of C$12.35 per Common Share.
TerrAscend is strategically building depth and scale in some of the largest and highest growth markets in the U.S. cannabis industry.
