SNDL to acquire rival cannabis player Valens in all stock deal

SNDL (SNDL) announced Monday that the Canadian cannabis company inked an agreement to acquire the domestic rival The Valens Company (NASDAQ:VLNS) for nearly $138M in an all-stock deal. SNDL is currently trading sharply lower while VLNS is on hold for trading. Per the terms, SNDL will buy all VLNS common shares other than it already owns in exchange for 0.3334 of SNDL common share for each VLNS share, and VLNS investors will own ~9.5% of the pro forma entity. The consideration implies $1.26 per VLNS share and indicates a premium of 10% based on the stock’s trailing 30-day volume-weighted average price. The combined entity will be a vertically integrated cannabis platform and operate as SNDL Inc. The transaction is expected to close in Jan. 2023.
