BMO Struggling to Sell Aurora Cannabis’ TGOD Shares

Last night the Globe and Mail reported that a group of Investment Banks led by BMO Nesbitt Burns are struggling to sell their position in The Green Organic Dutchman (TSX: TGOD). In the report, sources tell the Globe roughly 40 percent of the deal is unsold.

On Tuesday, Aurora Cannabis (TSX: ACB) signed an agreement to sell their remaining shares in TGOD through a group of investment banks led by BMO Nesbitt Burns for an $86.5-million deal. The deal was priced at $3 a share, when the closing price earlier in the same day was $3.51.

BNN Bloomberg talked with Seaport Global Securities analyst Brett Hundley who told BNN “the sale allows Aurora to further pad its cash reserves as it continues its build out its cultivation and processing footprint.”

In a company news release, Aurora Cannabis CEO Terry Booth said “We evaluate our investment portfolio on a regular basis to make sure it continues to align with our investment strategy and corporate priorities. When we acquired Whistler Medical Marijuana Corporation – an iconic and premium organic cannabis producer – our interest in TGOD became less important to our core strategy.”

BMO structured this deal as a block trade, a format typically used when there is a great deal of demand for a security. The idea is that in these cases the investment bank can move the securities in a quick and painless transaction. According to the Globe sources, many institutional buyers aren’t interested in the former Aurora position, leaving the underwriters on the hook for the unsold stock.

TGOD closed the day up 1c to $2.94.
