Aurora Cannabis Dumps 23% Stake In Alcanna At 80% Loss

Aurora Cannabis (TSX: ACB) (NYSE: ACB) continues to liquidate its assets as it tries to generate cash to feed the machine, with the announcement this morning that it is exiting its investment in Alcanna (TSX: CLIQ). The companies jointly announced this morning that a bought deal was being conducted as a means for Aurora to drop its holdings in the retailer.

The sale of Aurora’s 23% stake in Alcanna is occurring on a bought deal via a short form prospectus lead by Cormark Securities. The offering will see Aurora dump all 9.2 million shares it currently owns of Alcanna at a price of $3.00 per share – a massive loss when compared to the $15.00 per share price tag the company paid for the position two years ago in 2018.

Total gross proceeds from the financing is pegged at $27.6 million for Aurora – an 80% loss on investment. To clarify, all funds from the sale will be given to Aurora Cannabis, with Alcanna not receiving anything from the financing. The event is simply a means for Aurora to dump its position in an orderly fashion, without destroying current shareholders of Alcanna.

Alcanna inc last traded at $3.19 on the TSX. The company currently operates 231 liquor stores across Alberta and BC, along with 31 cannabis stores under the Nova Cannabis banner.
