## Exhibit 99.1

![img125368884_0.jpg](img125368884_0.jpg)

**TerrAscend Completes $79 Million Non-Dilutive Debt Financing** 

*Proceeds used to retire $68 million of existing debt with the remainder designated for future growth initiatives*

*Additional facility of up to $35 million available for strategic M&A*

*No material debt maturing until late 2028*

**TORONTO, July 9, 2025 – TerrAscend Corp. ("TerrAscend" or the "Company") (TSX: TSND, OTCQX: TSNDF)**, a leading North American cannabis company, today announced that the Company, together with certain entities that are consolidated by the Company (the "Consolidated Entities"), has closed on an upsize to its senior secured syndicated term loan (the "Loan") of $79 million (the "Transaction"), $68 million of which were used to retire existing indebtedness across other lenders, with the remainder designated for future growth initiatives. As part of the Transaction, an additional uncommitted term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $35 million will be available for future mergers and acquisitions ("M&A").

The Loan, led by FocusGrowth Asset Management, LP ("FocusGrowth"), a leading capital provider to the cannabis sector, carries an interest rate of 12.75%, and matures in August 2028. It contains no prepayment penalties, and is guaranteed by the Company. No warrants were issued as part of the Loan.

"This loan extends the vast majority of our debt until late 2028 and provides additional capital to execute on our growth initiatives, including M&A," said Jason Wild, Executive Chairman of TerrAscend. "This transaction reflects FocusGrowth's confidence in the Company's vision and strategy. Their team has been a pleasure to work with, and we look forward to a long and successful partnership together."

"Our team is excited to further our partnership with the TerrAscend team to support their growth," said Peter Bio, Partner of FocusGrowth. "TerrAscend has established itself as a market leader in multiple states with ample greenfield opportunities for growth in both new and existing markets. We have enjoyed working with the team on this transaction and are already working with management to evaluate additional opportunities."

The Transaction constitutes a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61–101 *Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions* ("MI 61–101") because Jason Wild, an insider of the Company, directly or indirectly invested approximately US$1.6 million of the Loan as a member of the loan syndicate in connection with the Transaction (the "Insider Participation"). The Company has relied on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61–101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61–101 in respect of the Insider Participation as the fair market value (as determined in accordance with MI 61-101) of the Insider Participation in the Transaction is below 25% of the Company's market capitalization (as determined in accordance with MI 61-101).

**Caution Regarding Cannabis Operations in the United States**

Investors should note that there are significant legal restrictions and regulations that govern the cannabis industry in the United States. Cannabis remains a Schedule I drug under the U.S. Controlled Substances Act, making it illegal under federal law in the United States to, among other things, cultivate, distribute or possess cannabis in the United States. Financial transactions involving proceeds generated by, or intended to promote, cannabis-related business activities in the United States may form the basis for prosecution under applicable US federal money laundering legislation.

While the approach to enforcement of such laws by the federal government in the United States has trended toward non-enforcement against individuals and businesses that comply with medical or adult-use cannabis programs in states where such programs are legal, strict compliance with state laws with respect to cannabis will neither absolve TerrAscend of liability under U.S. federal law, nor will it provide a defense to any federal proceeding which may be brought against TerrAscend. The enforcement of federal laws in the United States is a significant risk to the business of TerrAscend and any proceedings brought against TerrAscend thereunder may adversely affect TerrAscend's operations and financial performance.

Forward-looking information is not a guarantee of future performance and is based upon a number of estimates and assumptions of management in light of management's experience and perception of trends, current conditions and expected developments, as well as other factors relevant in the circumstances, including assumptions in respect of current and future market conditions, the current and future regulatory environment, and the availability of licenses, approvals and permits.
