SNDL Inc. (NasdaqCM:SNDL) entered into an arrangement agreement to acquire remaining 91.9% stake in The Valens Company Inc. (TSX:VLNS) for CAD 94.2 million on August 22, 2022. Under the terms of the Agreement, Valens' shareholders will receive, for each Valens Share, 0.3334 of a common share of SNDL. The combined company will operate as SNDL Inc., and Valens shareholders will own approximately 9.5% of the pro forma entity. The Agreement provides for, among other things, customary support and non-solicitation covenants from Valens, including customary "fiduciary out" provisions that allow Valens to accept a superior proposal in certain circumstances and a five-business day "right to match period" in favour of SNDL. The Agreement also provides for the payment of a termination fee of CAD 8 million payable to SNDL by Valens in the event the Transaction is terminated in certain specified circumstances. The Transaction will be carried out by way of a court-approved plan of arrangement under the Canada Business Corporations Act. The implementation of the Transaction will be subject to the approval of at least two thirds of the Valens Shares entitled to be voted by Valens shareholders and the approval of a simple majority of the Valens Shares entitled to be voted by Valens shareholders, other than Valens shareholders required to be excluded under applicable laws, at a special meeting expected to be convened by Valens by the end of November 2022 (the "Meeting"), Shares to be issued pursuant to the Arrangement shall have been approved for listing on Nasdaq, and the receipt of applicable orders from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice and applicable regulatory approvals, including under the Competition Act (Canada) and the applicable provincial liquor and cannabis regulators. Valens' board of directors has unanimously approved the Transaction after receiving the unanimous recommendation of a special committee of Valens directors (the "Special Committee"). Valens' board of directors has unanimously resolved to recommend that the shareholders of Valens vote in favour of the Transaction. SNDL’s Board of Directors also unanimously approved the Transaction. All directors and executive officers of Valens have entered into voting support agreements with SNDL pursuant to which, among other things, the parties have agreed to vote their Valens Shares in favour of the Transaction. The shareholders meeting of Valens is scheduled on November 29, 2022. As of November 22, 2022, both Institutional Shareholder Services (“ISS”) and Glass Lewis & Co. (“Glass Lewis”) have recommended that Valens shareholders (the “Valens Shareholders”) vote in favour of the arrangement. On November 29, 2022, shareholders of Valens approved the transaction.

The Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) has granted a final order approving the transaction. The transaction is expected to close during January 2023.
