**PART I**

**ITEM 1. BUSINESS**

**Background**

Green Thumb Industries Inc. is a reporting issuer in the United States and Canada and the Company's Subordinate Voting Shares (as hereinafter defined) are listed for trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE") under the symbol "GTII." The Company's Subordinate Voting Shares are also traded in the United States on the OTCQX Best Market (the "OTCQX") under the symbol "GTBIF."

Originally founded in 2014, Green Thumb began operations in 2015 upon the award of a medical marijuana license for cultivation/processing and retail sale of cannabis in Illinois. The Company has since expanded its operational footprint to fourteen U.S. markets, including California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Virginia. Currently, Green Thumb manufactures and distributes a portfolio of cannabis consumer packaged goods brands (which we refer to as our Consumer Packaged Goods business), including &Shine, Beboe, Dogwalkers, Doctor Solomon's, Good Green, incredibles and RYTHM, to third-party retail stores across the United States as well as to Green Thumb owned retail stores. The Company also owns and operates retail cannabis stores that include a national chain called RISE Dispensaries, as well as retail stores operating under other names (which we refer to as our Retail business). Our retail stores sell a combination of our products and third-party products.

The Company, through its subsidiaries, owns state-licensed medical and/or adult-use cannabis businesses in California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Virginia. The following organizational chart describes the organizational structure of the Company as of December 31, 2025. See Exhibit 21.1 to this document for a list of significant subsidiaries of the Company. All lines represent 100% ownership of outstanding securities of the applicable subsidiary unless otherwise noted in Exhibit 21.1. In part, the complexity of our organization structure is due to state licensing requirements that mandate that we maintain the corporate identity of our operating license holders.

**Description of the Business** 

***Overview of the Company***

Established in 2014 and headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, Green Thumb, a national cannabis consumer packaged goods company and retailer, promotes well-being through the power of cannabis, while being committed to community and sustainable, profitable growth. As of December 31, 2025, Green Thumb has operations across fourteen U.S. markets, employs approximately 5,000 people and serves millions of patients and customers annually.

Green Thumb's core business is manufacturing, distributing and marketing a portfolio of cannabis consumer packaged goods brands (which we refer to as our Consumer Packaged Goods business), including &Shine, Beboe, Dogwalkers, Doctor Solomon's, Good Green, incredibles and RYTHM. These brands were developed and acquired over the course of the Company's operating history and then, in transactions that closed on May 20, 2025 and August 27, 2026, the Company, through sales of the equity interests of indirectly owned subsidiaries, sold the intellectual property related to those consumer packaged goods brands to RYTHM, Inc. (formerly known as Agrify Corporation, and referred to herein as "RYM"). In connection with this sale, the Company entered into licensing arrangements with RYM for the Company's continued, exclusive use of these brands for cannabis products in its existing markets. As of December 31, 2025, the Company owns approximately 33% of the outstanding shares of common stock of RYM. The Company distributes and markets these products to third-party licensed retail cannabis stores across the United States as well as to Green Thumb's own retail stores (which we refer to as our Retail business).

The Company's Consumer Packaged Goods portfolio is primarily generated from plant material that Green Thumb grows and processes and then uses to produce our consumer packaged goods in twenty owned and operated manufacturing facilities. This portfolio consists of cannabis product categories, including flower, pre-rolls, concentrates, vape, capsules, tinctures, edibles, topicals and other cannabis-related products across a range of stock keeping units ("SKUs") (none of which are individually material to the Company). These Consumer Packaged Goods products are sold in retail locations throughout the fourteen U.S. markets Green Thumb operates in including Green Thumb's own RISE Dispensaries and other retail dispensaries.

Green Thumb owns and operates a national cannabis retail chain called RISE Dispensaries that aims to bring patients and customers high-quality products that they value while providing superior customer service. In addition, we own and operate stores under other names subject to licensing or similar restrictions. The income from Green Thumb's retail stores is derived primarily from the sale of cannabis-related products, which includes the sale of Green Thumb produced products as well as those produced by third parties, with an immaterial (less than 10%) portion of this income resulting from the sale of other merchandise (such as t-shirts and accessories for cannabis use). RISE Dispensaries currently are located in all fourteen of the states in which we operate. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had 113 open and operating retail locations. The Company's new store opening plans will remain fluid depending on market conditions, our ability to obtain local licensing, construction and other permissions and subject to the Company's capital allocation plans.

***Financial Highlights and Revenue Streams***

The Company has generated revenues through its operating businesses from the manufacture, sale and distribution of branded cannabis products to third-party licensed retail customers as well as the sale of finished products to consumers in its retail stores.

The percentage of total revenue contributed by the Retail segment was 71%, 73% and 75% for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The percentage of total revenue contributed by operations of the Consumer Packaged Goods segment was 29%, 27% and 25% for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. See Item 7—"Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations" for details on key financial highlights.

As of the year ended December 31, 2025, Green Thumb has operating revenue in fourteen markets (California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Virginia).

------

***Geographic Information***

Green Thumb operates in fourteen U.S. states: California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts,

Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Virginia.

![img148816814_2.jpg](img148816814_2.jpg)

***Product Research, Design and Development***

The Company's branded products portfolio includes SKUs across a range of product categories, including flower, pre-rolls, concentrates, vape, tinctures, edibles, topicals and other cannabis-related products. Green Thumb engages in research and development activities focused on developing new extracted or infused cannabis consumer packaged products.

***Manufacturing***

Our branded products are produced in manufacturing facilities across thirteen U.S. states where we cultivate, process and manufacture cannabis consumer packaged goods. Our finished goods production is manufactured by our owned production facilities.

We aim to maintain strict brand and quality assurance standards and have implemented standard operating procedures across all production facilities to ensure continuity of product and consistent consumer experience across all operating markets.

***Licensing/Branding***

During 2025, the Company, via the sale of certain subsidiaries, sold the intellectual property rights for its Consumer Packaged Goods Brands, including its portfolio of owned cannabis consumer packaged goods brands (which we refer to as our Consumer Packaged Goods business), including &Shine, Beboe, Dogwalkers, Doctor Solomon's, Good Green, incredibles and RYTHM, to RYM. In connection with this sale, the Company entered into licensing arrangements with RYM for the Company's continued, exclusive use of these brands for cannabis products in its existing markets, in exchange for license fees.

***Sources and Availability of Materials***

Almost all of the raw material input, except packaging materials, used by the Company to produce finished cannabis consumer packaged goods are cultivated or processed internally for further use in the manufacturing process.

***Significant Customers***

Customers of our Consumer Packaged Goods business include legal state-licensed cannabis stores within each U.S. state in which we operate. Green Thumb is not dependent upon a single customer, or a few customers, and the loss of any one or more of our

------

customers would not have a material adverse effect on the business. No customer accounted for 10% or more of our consolidated net revenue during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 or 2023, respectively.

***Merchandise***

To meet the array of unique patient and customer needs, we offer a variety of cannabis products at each of our RISE and other retail dispensaries, totaling thousands of SKUs in managed inventory, covering a comprehensive list of packaged product categories including flower, concentrates, topicals and edibles.

We leverage our own retail channel, RISE, and our other stores to distribute our branded product portfolio, such as &Shine, Beboe, Dogwalkers, Doctor Solomon's, Good Green, incredibles, and RYTHM.

All cannabis products we sell have passed state-mandated third party testing as required by applicable law to help assure that they do not contain impermissible levels of toxins, microbials or other harmful substances, and that they meet the Company's vendor requirements for quality assurance and reliability. Cannabis products are inventoried in a comprehensive seed-to-sale tracking software to minimize product slippage and inventory deviation.

***Omnichannel Distribution***

Our primary retail presence is traditional brick and mortar. However, as regulations allow, we expect to continue to expand our e-commerce, in-store guest pick-up and direct to consumer delivery capabilities as part of our commitment to providing a consistent retail brand experience no matter where the consumer might be.

***Intellectual Property – Patents and Trademarks*** 

We believe that brand protection is critical to our business strategy. We regularly seek to protect our intellectual property rights in connection with our operating names (e.g., Green Thumb and RISE), and certain patentable goods and services. We also sought to protect the intellectual property for our consumer packaged goods brands (e.g., &Shine, Beboe, Dogwalkers, Dr. Solomon's, Good Green, incredibles (including Snoozzzeberry) & RYTHM) prior to their sale to RYM in 2025; subsequent to the sale, our licensing arrangements with RYM require us to continue to protect those brands with the same vigor we previously exercised. The U.S. trademark statute, The Lanham Act, allows for the protection of trademarks and service marks on products and services used, or intended for use, lawfully. Because cannabis-related products and services remain illegal at the federal level under the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. § 811), neither we nor RYM are able to protect all our intellectual property at the federal level. Instead, we (and RYM) seek federal trademark protections in some cases and state trademark protections in others. Nonetheless, our success depends upon other areas of our business such as product development and design, production and marketing and not exclusively upon trademarks, patents and trade secrets. The Company also licenses certain intellectual property to and from third parties for the manufacture and sale of consumer products.

As the Company became licensed to cultivate cannabis, we have developed proprietary cultivation techniques. The Company has also developed certain proprietary intellectual property for operating hydrocarbon extraction, carbon dioxide extraction, ethanol extraction and solventless extraction, including production best practices, procedures and methods. This requires specialized skills in cultivation, extraction and refining.

The Company relies on its code of conduct agreements to protect its intellectual property rights. To the extent that the Company describes or discloses its proprietary cultivation or extraction techniques in its applications for cultivation or processing licenses, the Company redacts or requests redaction of such information prior to public disclosure.

Where commercially reasonable, we will seek (or will require RYM to seek) further U.S. patent protection on other eligible products and services. The Company owns several website domains, including www.gtigrows.com, numerous social media accounts across major platforms, and various phone and web application platforms.

The Company has successfully registered over 200 trademarks (approximately two-thirds of which of which have now been sold to RYM) across the United States and has additional trademark applications pending. The Company anticipates feedback on outstanding submitted applications on a rolling basis. As such, the Company will continue to rely on common law protection for these brands during the trademark registration process. Moreover, the Company will proactively seek intellectual property protection for brand expansions in current markets as well as any new market expansion. For additional details on the risks associated with the lack of trademark protection, see Item 1A—"Risk Factors" with respect to intellectual property.

------

***Joint Ventures***

We utilize joint ventures and make equity investments in non-affiliated third parties to both comply with state regulatory requirements in certain states and advance our mission to promote a more equitable, diverse cannabis industry. Partnering with one or more non-affiliated third parties provides the Company with the opportunity to mitigate certain operational and financial risks while ensuring continued compliance with the applicable regulatory guidelines. As of December 31, 2025, the Company holds minority interests in several non-affiliated third parties for the operation of dispensaries in Connecticut and Massachusetts, as well as the production, distribution and development of various products. None of these investments or ventures are material to the Company.

***Working Capital***

Effective inventory management is critical to the Company's ongoing success and the Company uses a variety of demand and supply forecasting, planning and replenishment techniques. The Company strives to maintain sufficient levels of inventory of core product categories, maintain positive vendor and customer relationships and carefully plan to minimize markdowns and inventory write-offs.

For additional details on liquidity and Capital Resources, see Item 7—"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

***Human Capital Management***

As of December 31, 2025, Green Thumb employs approximately 5,000 team members including corporate, retail and cultivation and processing, both full- and part-time employees, and including but not limited to: finance and accounting, legal and compliance, supply chain and operations, sales and marketing, commercial and cannabis agriculture, chemists, customer service, construction and project management, real estate, information technology and human resources. We offer a comprehensive package of company-sponsored benefits to our team. Eligibility depends on the full-time or part-time status, employee location and other factors, and benefits include participation in a 401(k) retirement savings plan, medical and dental plans, disability insurance, employee assistance programs and life insurance. Additionally, we believe in aligned incentives and use our employee stock and incentive plan for a competitive total rewards program.

Our employees are split across the Company approximately as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Corporate: | 500 |
| Retail: | 2500 |
| Cultivation and Processing: | 2000 |
| **Total** | **5000** |

---

As of December 31, 2025, approximately 1,000 of our employees at various cultivation and retail facilities have elected to be represented by a labor organization for purposes of collective bargaining.

***Environmental Compliance***

Expenditures for compliance with federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations are consistent from year to year and are not material to the Company's financials. The Company is compliant with all applicable regulations and does not use materials that would pose any known risk under normal conditions.

------

**Competitive Conditions and the Company's Position in the Industry** 

***Competition***

The markets in which the Company distributes its products and operates retail stores are highly competitive. Some of those markets have relatively high barriers to entry due to the licensing requirements. The Company competes directly with other cannabis producers and retailers, some of which operate only in a specific market and some of which operate across several U.S. markets. More broadly, Green Thumb views manufacturers of other consumer products, such as consumable hemp, including consumable hemp-derived tetrahydrocannabinol ("THC") variants such as Delta-8 THC and, Delta-9 THC ("hemp-derived THC products") as direct competitors. In addition, the Company experiences significant competition for its product from illicit operators who are not licensed pursuant to state cannabis laws and regulations, Product quality, performance, new product innovation and development, packaging, customer experience and consumer price/value are important differentiating factors.

The Company faces competition from other companies that may have a longer operating history, a higher capitalization, additional financial resources, more manufacturing and marketing experience, greater access to public equity and debt markets and more experienced management than the Company. Increased competition by larger and better financed competitors could materially affect the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Company. Some of the manufacturing and retail competitors in our markets consist of localized businesses (i.e. doing business in only a single state market). There are also multistate operators with whom the Company competes directly in several of the Company's operating markets. Aside from this direct competition, out-of-state operators that are capitalized well enough to enter these markets through acquisitions are also part of the competitive landscape. Similarly, as the Company executes its national U.S. growth strategy, operators in any state markets we may enter in the future will inevitably become direct competitors.

Because of the early stage of the industry in which the Company operates, the Company faces additional competition from new entrants. If the number of consumers of medical and adult-use cannabis in the states in which the Company operates its business increases, the demand for products will increase and the Company expects that competition will become more intense, as current and future competitors begin to offer an increasing quantity and variety of diversified products. To remain competitive, the Company will require a continued high level of investment in research and development, marketing, sales and customer support. The Company may not have sufficient resources to maintain research and development, marketing, sales and customer support efforts on a competitive basis, which could materially and adversely affect the business, financial condition and results of its operations.

Moreover, markets across the United States have seen the widespread proliferation of hemp-derived THC products. While the Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018 (the "2018 Farm Bill") both defined and legalized hemp under federal law, the subsequent use of hemp to make THC consumer products was reportedly not anticipated by legislators. Those products are similar in composition to certain state-legal and federally illegal cannabis consumer products, but are not controlled substances and thus can be shipped via interstate commerce. Their legal status at the federal level also means that they do not fall under the same state regulatory schemes or have the same heavy tax burdens that state legal cannabis products do. As the industry expanded, lawmakers at the state level have begun to regulate such products, including with age limits and manufacturing standards; however, federal, state, and local lawmakers have also raised concerns about minors' access to some of these products, inadequate testing, and the need for more consistent regulations governing the manufacturing, marketing, testing, sale, and transportation of hemp-derived THC products. As a result, some states have passed laws regulating, restricting or prohibiting hemp-derived THC products.

Passed on November 12, 2025, the Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act of 2026 (H.R. 5371) (the "2026 Appropriations Act"), includes a provision (section 781) to amend the definition of hemp in the 2018 Farm Bill to effectively prohibit the currently commercialized hemp-derived THC products, although the change does not become effective until November 12, 2026. Efforts are underway to repeal, replace, or delay this amendment, but whether any change will occur is uncertain.

Given the pricing differential, the absence of the application of Section 280E of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, as amended ("Section 280E") and state cannabis excise taxes, the continued proliferation of unregulated hemp-derived THC products through unlicensed distribution points could ultimately alter certain elements of the current U.S. cannabis market, at least in the short term. It is unclear how the states, many of which have promulgated regulations permitting the sale and/or production of these products, will respond to federal prohibition. If federal prohibition becomes effective in November 2026, however, the potential impact of hemp-derived THC products on the cannabis market could be blunted.

Finally, Green Thumb views manufacturers of other consumer products, such as those in the pharmaceuticals, alcohol, tobacco, health and beauty, and functional wellness industries, as potential competitors. On December 18, 2025, President Trump issued an Executive Order directing that cannabis be rescheduled from Schedule I to Schedule III (which we refer to as

------

"rescheduling"). The Order directs the Attorney General to "take all necessary steps to complete the rulemaking process related to rescheduling marijuana to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act in the most expeditious manner." Rescheduling may have far reaching implications that are not yet fully understood. For example, rescheduling may increase competitors in this space if non-cannabis companies who have previously avoided the space now decide to enter the market or compete through alternative pathways. Such other companies may have a longer operating history, a higher capitalization, additional financial resources, more manufacturing and marketing experience, greater access to public equity and debt markets and more experienced management than the Company. Increased competition by larger and better financed competitors could materially affect the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;See Item 1A—"Risk Factors" for more information with respect to competition.

**Federal and State Regulation of Cannabis**

Below is a discussion of the federal and state-level regulatory regimes in the jurisdictions where the Company is currently operating through its subsidiaries.

***Federal illegality of Cannabis*** 

The U.S. federal government regulates drugs through the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. § 811), which places controlled substances, including cannabis, in a schedule. Cannabis is currently classified as a Schedule I controlled substance. A Schedule I controlled substance is defined as a substance that has no currently accepted medical use in the United States, a lack of safety for use under medical supervision and a high potential for abuse. Schedule I controlled substances are federally illegal and the manufacturing, sale and use of cannabis is a violation of federal law. Despite the federal prohibition, forty states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam and the Northern Mariana have legalized some form of cannabis use for certain medical purposes. Twenty-four of those states, the District of Columbia, Guam and Northern Mariana have legalized cannabis for adults for non-medical purposes as well (sometimes referred to as adult or recreational use). Eight additional states have legalized forms of low-potency cannabis, for select medical conditions. Only two states continue to prohibit cannabis entirely.

Due to the conflicting views between state legislatures and the federal government regarding cannabis (which will continue even if rescheduling occurs), cannabis businesses are subject to inconsistent laws and regulations. The federal government has expressly chosen to deprioritize and forgo prosecution of cannabis companies, or those who do business with them, for activities that are in compliance with state law. In 2013, Deputy Attorney General James Cole issued a memorandum (the "Cole Memorandum") providing that the Department of Justice ("DOJ") should not prioritize prosecuting conduct in compliance with state cannabis laws. Although the Cole Memorandum was rescinded in 2018, the federal government has maintained this policy of nonenforcement.

In October 2022, President Joseph R. Biden, announced that cannabis scheduling under federal law would be reviewed, noting that cannabis is scheduled as more dangerous than fentanyl and methamphetamine, two substances that are driving an overdose epidemic in the country. In October 2022, President Biden also announced a mass pardon of persons who had been convicted of simple marijuana possession under federal law. In December 2022, President Biden signed the Medical Marijuana and Cannabidiol Research Expansion Act into law, which provides for significantly broader opportunities to study cannabis.

On August 29, 2023, and in response to President Biden's directive to review cannabis's scheduling, the Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS") formally presented its recommendation to the Drug Enforcement Administration ("DEA") that cannabis be rescheduled to Schedule III from Schedule I. Section 280E does not apply to those trafficking in Schedule III controlled substances. The process to reschedule was initiated but stalled in January 2025 when the Administrative Law Judge issued an order canceling the scheduled hearing on the topic. On December 18, 2025, President Trump issued an Executive Order directing the Attorney General to "take all necessary steps to complete the rulemaking process related to rescheduling marijuana to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act in the most expeditious manner." While rescheduling would likely have far reaching, though not yet fully understood, implications, it will not immediately impact the legal status of the state cannabis programs under which the Company operates.

As an industry best practice, the Company continues to employ the policies to ensure compliance with state laws and the prior guidance provided by the Cole Memorandum, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Our operations and our subsidiaries' operations are believed to be materially compliant with all licensing requirements as established by the applicable state, county, municipality, town, township, borough and other political/administrative divisions; to this end, we retain appropriately experienced legal counsel to help ensure compliance of such operations with all applicable licensing requirements;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•The cannabis-related activities adhere to the scope of the licensing obtained - for example, in states where only medical cannabis is permitted, the products are only sold to patients who hold the appropriate medical licensing to permit the possession of cannabis; in states where cannabis is permitted for adult-use, the products are only sold to individuals who meet the requisite age requirements;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Our operating subsidiaries must pass a range of requirements, adhere to strict business practice standards and be subject to strict regulatory oversight to ensure that no revenue is distributed to criminal enterprises, gangs or cartels;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•We have implemented an inventory tracking system and necessary procedures to help ensure that such compliance system is effective in tracking inventory and preventing diversion of cannabis or cannabis products, and we employ strict customer identification protocols to prevent sales to minors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Our state-authorized cannabis business activity is not used as a cover or pretense for trafficking of other illegal drugs, and we are not engaged in any other illegal activity; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•We conduct reviews of products and product packaging to ensure that such products and product packaging comply with applicable regulations and contain necessary disclaimers about the contents of the products.

There have been efforts at reforming federal cannabis law. As of December 31, 2025, there were more than a dozen proposed congressional bills addressing a myriad of issues regarding the cannabis industry, from banking and tax reform to full legalization. However, none have passed into law.

There does exist a legislative safeguard for the medical cannabis industry, appended to the federal budget bill. For each year since 2015, Congress has adopted a so-called "rider" provision to the Consolidated Appropriations Acts (formerly referred to as the Joyce Amendment and currently referred to as the Rohrabacher-Blumenauer Amendment) to prevent the federal government from using congressionally appropriated funds to enforce federal law against regulated medical cannabis actors operating in compliance with state and local law. The rider has been consistently renewed and is included in the Commerce-Justice-Science (CJS) appropriations package for 2026 (H.R. 6938), which has passes the House of Representatives but is still awaiting a vote in the Senate. If passed with the rider intact, it will continue to be effective through September 30, 2026.

The sheer size of the cannabis industry, in addition to participation by state and local governments and investors, suggests that a large-scale federal enforcement operation would more than likely create unwanted political backlash for the Department of Justice and the current administration. Regardless, cannabis remains illegal at the federal level. The U.S. federal government has always reserved the right to enforce federal law over the sale and disbursement of medical or adult-use cannabis, even if state law authorizes such sale and disbursement. There is no guarantee that state laws legalizing and regulating the sale and use of cannabis will remain in place or that local governmental authorities will not limit the applicability of state laws within their respective jurisdictions. Unless cannabis is removed from the Controlled Substances Act completely (by descheduling), there is a risk that federal authorities will enforce current U.S. federal law criminalizing cannabis.

We will continue to monitor compliance on an ongoing basis in accordance with our compliance program and standard operating procedures. While our operations are in compliance with all applicable state laws, regulations and licensing requirements, such activities remain illegal under federal law. For the reasons described above and the risks further described in the section entitled "Risk Factors," there are significant risks associated with our business. Readers of this Form are strongly encouraged to carefully read all of the risk factors contained in Item 1A—"Risk Factors."

**Federal Law and Ability to Access Public and Private Capital** 

Due to the present state of the laws and regulations governing financial institutions in the U.S., banks often refuse to provide services to businesses involved in the cannabis industry and U.S. multistate operators are currently not permitted to list securities on the U.S. securities exchanges. Consequently, it may be difficult for us to obtain financing from large U.S. financial institutions.

We have historically, and continue to have, access to equity and debt financing from non-public (i.e., private placement) markets and state-chartered financial institutions. Our executive team and members of our Board of Directors (our or the "Board") also have extensive relationships with sources of capital (such as funds and high net worth individuals).

In addition to our working capital, we continue to generate adequate cash to fund our operations from capital raising transactions. Our business plan continues to include growth, in the form of acquisitions and through facility expansion and improvements.

However, there can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or on terms that are acceptable.

------

**Restricted Access to Banking and Other Financial Services** 

The United States Department of the Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Networks, which we refer to as "FinCEN", issued the FinCEN Memorandum on February 14, 2014, outlining the pathways for financial institutions to back cannabis businesses in compliance with federal enforcement priorities. These guidelines include burdensome due diligence expectations and reporting requirements. The FinCEN Memorandum outlines the pathways for financial institutions to bank state-sanctioned cannabis businesses in compliance with federal enforcement priorities. The FinCEN Memorandum echoed the enforcement priorities of the Cole Memorandum and states that, in some circumstances, it is permissible for banks to provide services to cannabis-related businesses without risking prosecution for violation of federal money laundering laws. Despite the recission of the Cole Memorandum, the FinCEN guidelines are still in effect. Under these guidelines, financial institutions must submit a Suspicious Activity Report in connection with all cannabis-related banking activities by any client of such financial institution, in accordance with federal money laundering laws.

However, the FinCEN Memorandum does not provide any safe harbors or legal defenses from examination or regulatory or criminal enforcement actions by the Department of Justice, FinCEN or other federal regulators for banks and other financial institutions and can be amended or revoked at any time. Thus, most banks and other financial institutions in the United States do not appear comfortable relying on this guidance to provide banking services to the cannabis industry. Banks and/or card networks may also refuse to process debit card payments and credit card companies generally refuse to process credit card payments for cannabis-related businesses. In addition, federal money laundering statutes and regulations under the Bank Secrecy Act, as amended by Title III of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, discourage financial institutions from working with any organization that sells a controlled substance, regardless of whether the state in which it operates permits cannabis sales. The inability or limitation on our ability to open or maintain bank accounts, obtain other banking services and/or accept credit card and debit card payments may make it difficult for us to operate and conduct our business as planned or to operate efficiently.

On March 7, 2019, Democratic U.S. representative Ed Perlmutter of Colorado introduced the SAFE Banking Act, which would protect banks and their employees from punishment for providing services to cannabis businesses that are legal on a state level. The bill passed with strong bipartisan support in the House of Representatives on September 25, 2019. The House passed the SAFE Banking Act numerous times since then, but it has not passed in the U.S. Senate. On September 27, 2023, the Senate Banking Committee did pass its own version, the SAFER Banking Act on a bipartisan vote of 14-9. While the bill has yet to be brought to the Senate floor, the committee vote represents the first occasion a Senate Committee has successfully passed cannabis banking legislation. The bills face an uncertain future in the current House of Representatives, the Senate and under President Trump. There can be no assurance that the SAFE Banking Act, the SAFER Banking Act, or any similar legislation will be passed as previously proposed or at all.

**State Cannabis Law** 

State laws that permit and regulate the production, distribution and use of cannabis for adult-use or medical purposes are in conflict with federal law. Although certain states and territories of the U.S. authorize medical and/or adult-use cannabis production and distribution by licensed or registered entities, under U.S. federal law, the possession, use, cultivation and transfer of cannabis and any related drug paraphernalia are criminal acts under the Controlled Substances Act. Although the Company's activities are believed to be materially compliant with applicable state and local laws, strict compliance with state and local laws with respect to cannabis may neither absolve the Company of liability under U.S. federal law, nor may it provide an absolute defense to any federal proceeding that may be brought against the Company.

As of December 31, 2025, 40 states (and the territories of Guam, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Northern Mariana Islands and the District of Columbia), have legalized the cultivation and sale of cannabis for medical purposes. In 24 of those states, the sale and possession of cannabis is legal for both medical and adult-use, and the District of Columbia has legalized adult-use but not commercial sale.

Eight additional states have legalized forms of low-potency cannabis, for select medical conditions. Only two states continue to prohibit cannabis entirely. In 2025, at least three ballot initiatives (Arizona, Massachusetts and Maine) were introduced to repeal all or some portion of each state's laws permitting adult use sales.

The risk of federal enforcement and other risks associated with the Company's business are described in Item 1A—"Risk Factors."

------

***Company's Medical-Only Markets*** 

All of the medical-only markets in which the Company does business (Florida and Pennsylvania) have written regulations that impose limitations on the number of cannabis business licenses that can be awarded by the state. In each of these markets, we have a proven track record of: (i) entering the market through state-granted awards based on the merit of our application and business plans; and/or (ii) expanding market reach through accretive mergers, acquisitions, and partnership ventures. Each medical use market that also has a legal adult-use market (including Illinois, California, Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Ohio and Rhode Island) has regulations specifying which medical conditions qualify a patient for a license to purchase cannabis, and generally require the approval from a physician.

***Company's Adult-Use Markets*** 

The Company has adult-use operations in California, Connecticut, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Ohio and Rhode Island. Many of the adult-use markets in which the Company operates have fewer barriers to entry and more closely reflect free market dynamics typically seen in mature retail and manufacturing industries. The growth of these markets poses a risk of increased competition. However, management views the Company's market share as less at risk than operators without a current operating footprint due to our established brand recognition and supply and distribution chains. Purchasers of adult-use cannabis generally are subject to higher sales taxes than those that apply to purchasers who are authorized for medical purposes. However, anecdotal evidence suggests that some consumers who meet the criteria to apply for medical licenses make adult-use purchases and avoid pursuing a state's medical registration/qualification process.

***Regulatory Environment in States Where We Operate***

The risk of federal enforcement and other risks associated with the Company's business are described in Item 1A—"Risk Factors."

***Regulation of the Cannabis Market at State and Local Level*** 

Following the thesis that distributing brands at scale will win, we enter markets where we believe that we can profitably and sustainably operate and command significant market share, and thus maximize consumer and brand awareness.

Each state in which we operate specifies the types of cannabis licenses that are required for the various activities in which we engage. There are three primary types of licenses: cultivation, processing, and retail/dispensary. Cultivation licenses generally permit the holder to acquire and cultivate cannabis and sell that cannabis to dispensaries or processors. Some states allow cultivation license holders to process cannabis into cannabis-infused products as well, while other states require a separate processing license for this activity. Retail dispensary licenses permit the holder to purchase cannabis from cultivation or processing facilities and sell those products to individuals approved under their state's medical cannabis program or, where adult-use is permitted, to adults over the age of 21. Additionally, states may have additional license types for distribution, such as transporter licenses in Illinois, testing lab license or micro-licenses that are generally only available to certain protected classes of applicants. Finally, some states require a separate license for each activity, while others issue a single vertically integrated license that allows the holder to cultivate, process, and sell cannabis.

Below is a summary overview of the regulatory and competitive frameworks in each of our operating markets.

<u>California</u>

California was the first state to legalize medical cannabis through Proposition 215, the Compassionate Use Act of 1996.

In September 2015, the California legislature passed three bills collectively known as the Medical Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act. In November 2016, voters in California overwhelmingly passed Proposition 64, the Adult-Use of Marijuana Act creating an adult-use cannabis program for adults 21 years of age or older. The Medicinal and Adult-Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act, which provides for a single set of regulations to govern a medical and adult-use licensing went into effect on January 1, 2018.

*California License and Regulations* 

The three agencies that regulate cannabis at the state level are: (a) the California Department of Food and Agriculture, via CalCannabis, which issues licenses to cannabis cultivators; (b) the California Department of Public Health, via the Manufactured

------

Cannabis Safety Branch, which issues licenses to cannabis manufacturers; and (c) the California Department of Consumer Affairs, via the Bureau of Cannabis Control, which issues licenses to cannabis distributors, testing laboratories, retailers and micro-businesses.

In order to legally operate a medical or adult-use cannabis business in California, the operator must have both a local and state license. This requires license holders to operate in cities with cannabis licensing programs. Municipalities in California are allowed to determine the number of licenses they will issue to cannabis operators or can choose to ban cannabis businesses outright.

In 2021, we opened our first California retail operation in Pasadena. We follow all regulatory requirements regarding the reporting of inventory movement and sale, as well as all other data reporting and record retention requirements mandated by California.

<u>Connecticut</u>

Connecticut's medical cannabis program was introduced in May 2012 when the General Assembly passed legislation PA 12-55 "An Act Concerning the Palliative Use of Marijuana," providing for the use of cannabis in the state by approved patients with written consent from a physician or advanced practice nurse. In June 2021, PA 21-1 was signed into law, legalizing adult-use cannabis as of July 1, 2021. On July 1, 2021, PA 21-1 went into effect, allowing for the purchase and use of cannabis by any adult over the age of 21. The first adult-use sales in the state began in January 2023.

*Connecticut Licenses and Regulations* 

The Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection has issued regulations regarding the Medical Marijuana and Adult-use Programs in Connecticut.

There are two principal medical cannabis license categories in Connecticut: (1) cultivation/processing and (2) dispensary. We are licensed to operate one hybrid adult-use/medical cannabis cultivation/processing facility, one medical cannabis dispensary and two hybrid adult-use/medical cannabis dispensaries. All licenses are, as of the date hereof, active with the State of Connecticut. Each facility licensee is independently issued.

We follow all regulatory requirements regarding the reporting of inventory movement and sale, as well as all other data reporting and record retention requirements mandated by Connecticut.

<u>Florida</u>

In 2016, the Florida Medical Marijuana Legalization Initiative was introduced by citizen referendum and passed on November 8, 2016. This language, known as "Amendment 2," amended the state constitution and mandated an expansion of the state's medical cannabis program, which was previously limited to patients suffering from a diagnosed terminal condition.

Amendment 2, and the resulting expansion of qualifying medical conditions, became effective on January 3, 2017. On June 9, 2017, the Florida House of Representatives and Florida Senate passed respective legislation to implement the expanded program, which officially became law on June 23, 2017.

*Florida Licenses and Regulations* 

There is one principal license category in Florida: the vertically-integrated Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers ("MMTC") license. Licenses are issued by the Florida Department of Health, Office of Medical Marijuana Use, and license holders can only own one license. There is no limit on the number of facilities that can be operated under an MMTC license. We currently are approved to operate two medical cannabis cultivation/processing facilities and twenty-two medical cannabis dispensaries under our single MMTC license. All operating facilities are, as of the date hereof, active with the State of Florida.

As our operations in Florida are vertically integrated, we are able to cultivate, harvest, process and sell/dispense/deliver our own medical cannabis products.

We follow all regulatory requirements regarding the reporting of inventory movement and sale, as well as all other data reporting and record retention requirements mandated by Florida.

------

<u>Illinois</u>

In 2013, the Illinois General Assembly passed the Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act, which went into effect on January 1, 2014, allowing the use of cannabis in the state by approved patients with written medical consent. In June 2019, the Governor signed the Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act, legalizing cannabis for adult-use, and the law went into effect on June 25, 2019. Adult-use sales of cannabis began in the state on January 1, 2020.

*Illinois Licenses and Regulations*

There are four principal license categories in Illinois: (1) cultivation (which includes processing); (2) infusing; (3) transportation; and (4) dispensary. Dispensaries are regulated by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation; the remainder are regulated by the Illinois Department of Agriculture. Licenses are independently issued for each approved activity for use at our facilities in Illinois. We have two cultivation facilities operating under two cultivation licenses. We have 10 operating dispensaries, which is the statutory cap, operating under 15 total licenses (10 adult-use dispensary licenses and 5 medical dispensary licenses). By applicable law, we are not permitted to add medical dispensary licenses to the 5 locations that only have adult-use sales.

We follow all regulatory requirements regarding the reporting of inventory movement and sale, as well as all other data reporting and record retention requirements mandated by Illinois.

<u>Maryland</u>

In 2014, the Maryland legislature passed HB 881/SB 923, establishing a comprehensive medical cannabis program and the program became operational on December 1, 2017.

In 2023, the Cannabis Reform Act, which authorized the production and sale of adult-use cannabis was signed into law and adult-use sales in Maryland began on July 1, 2023. The Cannabis Reform Act also established the Maryland Cannabis Administration to oversee and regulate Maryland's cannabis program and to issue additional grower, processor, and dispensary licenses, and newly created micro-grower, micro-processor, micro-dispensary, incubator, and on-site consumption licenses over two licensing application rounds.

*Maryland Licenses and Regulations*

There are three principal license categories in Maryland, all administered by the Maryland Cannabis Administration: (1) cultivation; (2) processing; and (3) dispensary. There is generally no distinction between medical and adult-use licenses. We own one cultivation license, one processing license and four retail dispensary licenses. All licenses are, as of the date hereof, active with the State of Maryland. The licenses are independently issued for each approved activity.

We follow all regulatory requirements regarding the reporting of inventory movement and sale, as well as all other data reporting and record retention requirements mandated by Maryland.

<u>Massachusetts</u>

Massachusetts legalized medical cannabis when voters passed a ballot initiative in 2012. The law took effect on January 1, 2013. Adult-use cannabis became legal in Massachusetts as of December 15, 2016, following a ballot initiative in November 2016.

*Massachusetts Licenses and Regulations*

There is one principal medical cannabis license category in Massachusetts: a vertically integrated Medical Marijuana Treatment Center ("MTC") license. MTCs grow, process and dispense their own cannabis. On the adult-use side, there are many license categories, but the two principal ones are Marijuana Cultivator and Marijuana Establishment (dispensary).

The Cannabis Control Commission oversees the medical and adult-use programs, including licensing of cultivation, processing and dispensary facilities. Licensed medical dispensaries are given priority status in adult-use licensing.

We have two MTCs in Massachusetts, which include two medical cultivation facilities and two medical retail dispensaries. We have three adult-use dispensaries and one adult-use cultivation center.

------

We follow all regulatory requirements regarding the reporting of inventory movement and sale, as well as all other data reporting and record retention requirements mandated by Massachusetts.

<u>Minnesota</u>

In 2014, Minnesota created a medical cannabis program for patients with qualifying medical conditions upon physician, physician assistant or nurse practitioner recommendation.

In 2022, Minnesota made changes to a hemp statute (Minn. Stat. 151.72), permitting the sale of "low-dose" hemp-derived THC products, including edibles, beverages, and topicals, in retail outlets like grocery and convenience stores upon licensure from the State. On June 6, 2023, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz signed the Minnesota Adult Use Cannabis Act creating a framework for adult-use legalization and establishing the Office of Cannabis Management (OCM), which is responsible for regulating cannabis and hemp. Retail sales of cannabis under the adult-use statute began in September 2025.

*Minnesota License and Regulations*

There are four principal categories of medical cannabis licenses in Minnesota: (1) medical cannabis cultivator; (2) medical cannabis processor; (3) medical cannabis retailer; and (4) medical cannabis combination business license. For adult-use cannabis, Minnesota authorizes multiple license types, including cultivator, manufacturer, retailer, wholesaler, transporter, testing laboratory, and integrated models such as microbusiness and mezzobusiness, as well as other event-related or specialized licenses established by rule.

The main regulatory body for medical and adult-use cannabis is the Office of Cannabis Management, which is responsible for rulemaking, licensing, compliance, and enforcement statewide.

As of December 31, 2025, we have one cultivation and processing facility and eight operating licensed dispensaries serving both medical and adult use customers in Minnesota.

We follow all regulatory requirements regarding the reporting of inventory movement and sale, as well as all other data reporting and record retention requirements mandated by Minnesota.

<u>Nevada</u>

Nevada became a medical cannabis state in 2001. In 2013, the Nevada legislature passed SB374, providing for state licensing of medical cannabis establishments. On November 8, 2016, Nevada voters passed NRS 435D by ballot initiative allowing for the sale of cannabis for adult-use starting on July 1, 2017. On June 12, 2019, the laws were revised, creating the Nevada Cannabis Compliance Board to oversee administration of the program. These laws also provided that each cannabis establishment must obtain a license from its local jurisdiction as well as the state.

*Nevada Licenses and Regulations*

Nevada Cannabis Compliance Board is the primary regulator of cannabis in Nevada. There are three principal license categories in Nevada: (1) cultivation; (2) processing; and (3) dispensary. We are licensed to operate two medical and adult-use cultivation facilities, three medical and adult-use processing facilities, five medical dispensaries and up to thirteen adult-use retail locations of which 11 are active. All licenses are, as of the date hereof, active with the State of Nevada. The licenses are independently issued for each approved activity for use at our facilities in Nevada.

We follow all regulatory requirements regarding the reporting of inventory movement and sale, as well as all other data reporting and record retention requirements mandated by Nevada.

<u>New Jersey</u>

On January 18, 2010, the governor of New Jersey signed into law S.119, the Compassionate Use Medical Marijuana Act, providing for permitting the use of medical cannabis with physician approval.

------

On July 2, 2019, the governor of New Jersey signed the Jake Honig Compassionate Use Medical Cannabis Act into law, which amended the Compassionate Use Medical Marijuana Act to allow for additional license types.

After voters approved a ballot measure in November 2019, the governor of New Jersey signed three bills into law in 2021 that establish an adult-use program for adults who are at least 21 years old. New Jersey began adult-use sales on April 1, 2022.

*New Jersey Licenses and Regulations*

The New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission is responsible for regulating cannabis in New Jersey. License types in New Jersey include vertically integrated medical Alternative Treatment Centers and medical or adult-use cultivator, dispensary, and manufacturer licenses.

We are licensed to operate two adult-use/medical cultivation facilities, one of which is co-located with a processing facility, one retail medical cannabis dispensary and two retail adult-use/medical dispensaries in the state of New Jersey. All licenses are, as of the date hereof, active with the State of New Jersey. The licenses are independently issued for each approved activity at our facilities in New Jersey.

We follow all regulatory requirements regarding the reporting of inventory movement and sale, as well as all other data reporting and record retention requirements mandated by New Jersey.

<u>New York</u> 

In July 2014, the New York Legislature and Governor enacted the Compassionate Care Act to provide a comprehensive, safe and effective medical cannabis program. The Compassionate Care Act provides access to the program for those who suffer from qualifying conditions and have a physician's recommendation.

In 2021, the Marijuana Regulation and Tax Act ("MRTA") was signed into law. The MRTA legalized adult-use cannabis and established the New York Office of Cannabis Management.

*New York Licenses and Regulations* 

The Office of Cannabis Management is the regulatory agency that oversees the adult-use and medical cannabis program in New York. There is currently one principal medical license category in New York: Registered Organization (a vertically integrated license).

We hold a Registered Organization Adult-use Cultivator Processor Distributor Retail Dispensary ("ROD") license. Under our ROD license, we operate one cultivation/manufacturing facility and five medical cannabis dispensaries. Three of our medical dispensaries also have co-located adult-use sales. Under the MRTA we may open an additional four medical dispensaries. All operating facilities are, as of the date hereof, active with the State of New York.

We follow all regulatory requirements regarding the reporting of inventory movement and sale, as well as all other data reporting and record retention requirements mandated by New York.

<u>Ohio</u>

House Bill 523, effective on September 8, 2016, legalized medical cannabis in Ohio. The Ohio Medical Marijuana Control Program allows people with certain medical conditions, upon the recommendation of an Ohio-licensed physician certified by the State Medical Board, to purchase and use medical cannabis.

On November 7, 2023, Ohio voters legalized adult-use cannabis by ballot measure. The law established the Division of Cannabis Control within the Department of Commerce to oversee and regulate the adult-use market. The first licensed adult use sales began on August 6, 2024.

------

*Ohio License and Regulations*

There are three principal license categories in Ohio: (1) cultivation; (2) processing; and (3) dispensary. We are licensed to operate one cannabis cultivation facility, one cannabis processing facility and six dual medical/adult-use cannabis dispensaries, with the ability to open two more adult-use dispensaries, which is the statutory limit. All licenses are, as of the date hereof, active with the State of Ohio. The licenses are independently issued for each approved activity for use at our facilities in Ohio.

The three following state government agencies are responsible for the operation of Ohio's Medical Marijuana Control Program: (1) the Ohio Department of Commerce oversees medical cannabis cultivators, processors and testing laboratories; (2) the State of Ohio Board of Pharmacy oversees medical cannabis retail dispensaries, the registration of medical cannabis patients and caregivers, the approval of new forms of medical cannabis and coordinating the Medical Marijuana Advisory Committee; and (3) the State Medical Board of Ohio certifies physicians to recommend medical cannabis and may add to the list of qualifying conditions for which medical cannabis can be recommended. The Department of Commerce's Division of Cannabis Control oversees and regulates the adult-use market.

We follow all regulatory requirements regarding the reporting of inventory movement and sale, as well as all other data reporting and record retention requirements mandated by Ohio.

<u>Pennsylvania</u>

The Pennsylvania medical cannabis program was signed into law on April 17, 2016, under Act 16 and provided access to state residents with qualifying conditions.

*Pennsylvania Licenses and Regulations* 

There are two principal license categories in Pennsylvania: (1) cultivation/processing and (2) dispensary. All cultivation/processing establishments and dispensaries are regulated by the Pennsylvania Department of Health. Our subsidiary GTI Pennsylvania, LLC is licensed to operate a medical cultivation/processing facility and is also licensed to operate medical retail locations. Our subsidiary KW Ventures Holdings, LLC is also licensed to operate medical retail locations. All licenses are, as of the date hereof, active with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The licenses are independently issued for each approved activity for use at our facilities in Pennsylvania.

All cultivation/processing establishments and dispensaries must register with the Pennsylvania Department of Health.

We follow all regulatory requirements regarding the reporting of inventory movement and sale, as well as all other data reporting and record retention requirements mandated by Pennsylvania.

<u>Rhode Island</u>

Rhode Island legalized medical cannabis in 2006. Under this law, Rhode Island offers medical cannabis registration cards for patients with qualifying conditions and physician approval.

After a successful ballot measure, Rhode Island's governor signed two measures into law in May of 2022 approving sales in the state for adults who are at least 21 years old. Adult-use sales commenced on December 1, 2022 for the five licensed medical cannabis compassion centers which were approved for hybrid retail licenses. These hybrid retail licenses allow the centers to sell both medical and adult-use cannabis products in retail settings.

*Rhode Island Licensure and Regulations*

There are two categories of medical cannabis licensure in Rhode Island: compassion center (which includes cultivation and dispensary) and cultivator. The program is overseen by the Rhode Island Department of Business Regulation, Office of Cannabis Regulation.

We hold a compassion center license, which allows adult use cultivation and sales.

------

After the passage of Rhode Island's adult-use law in 2022, existing operators became eligible to receive hybrid licenses, allowing them to cultivate and/or sell cannabis to adults ages 21 and over. The Cannabis Control Commission oversees the regulation, licensing enforcement and control of the medical and adult-use cannabis programs.

We follow all regulatory requirements regarding the reporting of inventory movement and sale, as well as all other data reporting and record retention requirements mandated by Rhode Island.

<u>Virginia</u>

In 2017, Virginia passed a law that allowed patients suffering from intractable epilepsy access to CBD or THC-A oil. In 2018, this law was significantly expanded, which allowed any medical condition to qualify with state-certified physician, nurse practitioner or physician assistant recommendation. The next year, the law was amended to allow for higher potency THC. In February 2021, a law was passed that would legalize cannabis for adult-use in Virginia. However certain provisions of this law were only effective if reenacted, which has not happened. A new legislative framework has been developed by a state commission and is expected to be introduced in the upcoming 2026 legislative session. Governor-elect Abigail Spanberger has pledged to sign the legislation. The earliest date that legal adult use sales could commence is November 2026.

*Virginia License and Regulations*

There are currently two principal license categories in Virginia: (1) pharmaceutical processing and (2) dispensing. The primary regulatory body for cannabis is the Virginia Cannabis Control Authority.

The two license types in Virginia are (i) pharmaceutical processor and (ii) cannabis dispensing facility. A cannabis dispensing facility is owned, at least in part, by a pharmaceutical processor.

We have one pharmaceutical processor permit and six dispensary permits. We have the right to open two more dispensaries pending regulatory approval.

We follow all regulatory requirements regarding the reporting of inventory movement and sale, as well as all other data reporting and record retention requirements mandated by Virginia.

------

***State License Renewal Requirements***

For each of our provisional and operational licenses, the states impose strict license renewal requirements that vary state by state. We generally must complete the renewal application process within a prescribed period of time prior to the expiration date and pay an application fee. The state licensing body can deny or revoke licenses and renewals for a variety of reasons, including (a) submission of materially inaccurate, incomplete or fraudulent information, (b) failure of the company or any of its directors or officers to comply, or have a history of non-compliance, with any applicable law or regulation, including laws relating to minimum age of customers, safety and non-diversion of cannabis or cannabis products, taxes, child support, workers compensation and insurance coverage, or failure to otherwise remain in good standing, (c) failure to submit or implement a plan of correction for any identified violation, (d) attempting to assign registration to another entity without state approval, (e) insufficient financial resources, (f) committing, permitting, aiding or abetting of any illegal practices in the operation of a facility, (g) failure to cooperate or give information to relevant law enforcement related to any matter arising out of conduct at a licensed facility and (h) lack of responsible operations, as evidenced by negligence, disorderly or unsanitary facilities or permitting a person to use a registration card belonging to another person. Certain jurisdictions also require licensees to attend a public hearing or forum in connection with their license renewal application.

***Newly Established and Developing Legal Regimes***

Our business activities rely on newly established and/or developing laws and regulations in the states in which we operate. These laws and regulations are rapidly evolving and subject to change with minimal notice. At least three states (Arizona, Maine and Massachusetts) have proposed ballot initiatives to repeal all or part of the state adult use cannabis programs. Regulatory changes, including potential repeals even in states where we are not active today, may adversely affect our ability to raise capital, profitability or cause us to cease operations entirely.

Furthermore, whether cannabis is or is not rescheduled to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act, the cannabis industry may come under further scrutiny by the Food and Drug Administration, the SEC, the Department of Justice, the Financial Industry Regulatory Advisory and other regulatory authorities that supervise or regulate the production, distribution, sale and use of cannabis for medical and nonmedical purposes in the United States. It is impossible to determine the extent of the impact of new laws, regulations or initiatives that may be proposed. The regulatory uncertainty surrounding the industry may adversely affect our business and operations, including without limitation, the costs to remain compliant with applicable laws and the impairment of our business or the ability to raise additional capital.

***Federal Regulation of Hemp-Based CBD & THC*** 

Hemp products, including hemp-derived THC products, are subject to state and federal regulation with respect to the production, distribution and sale of products intended for human ingestion or topical application. Hemp is categorized as Cannabis sativa L., a subspecies of the cannabis genus. Numerous unique, chemical compounds are extractable from hemp, including CBD, THC and its various isomers (e.g., delta-8 THC, delta-9 THC, delta-10 THC, etc.), and other cannabinoids such as THC-A and THC-O (collectively, "THC Variants"). While the Company does not currently make or sell any hemp-derived THC products, the Company does invest in companies who do, and changes to regulations of these products may adversely affect the value of those investments, including in RYM. Hemp, as defined in the Farm Bill, is distinguishable from cannabis, which also comes from the Cannabis sativa L. subspecies, by its absence of more than trace amounts (0.3% or less) of the psychoactive compound Delta-9 THC.

While the 2018 Farm Bill both defined and legalized hemp under federal law, the subsequent use of hemp to make THC consumer products was reportedly not anticipated by legislators. Those products are similar in composition to certain state-legal and federally illegal cannabis consumer products, but are not controlled substances and thus can be shipped via interstate commerce. Their quasi-legal status at the federal level also means that they do not fall under the same state regulatory schemes or have the same heavy tax burdens that state legal cannabis products do. As the industry expanded, lawmakers at the state level have begun to expressly regulate such products, including with age limits and manufacturing standards; however, federal, state, and local lawmakers have also raised concerns about minors' easy access to some of these products, inadequate testing, and the need for more consistent regulations governing the manufacturing, marketing, testing, sale, and transportation of hemp-derived THC products. As a result, some states have passed laws regulating, restricting or prohibiting hemp-derived THC products.

Most recently, the 2026 Appropriations Act, enacted on November 12, 2025, includes a provision (section 781) to amend the definition of hemp in the 2018 Farm Bill to effectively eliminate the currently commercialized hemp-derived THC products, although the change does not become effective for 365 days from the date of enactment. Efforts are underway to repeal, replace, or delay this amendment, but whether any change will occur is uncertain. All of this creates significant uncertainty regarding the future of hemp-derived THC products and its continuing impact of the cannabis industry.

**Risks Related to Our Business** 

***Cannabis remains illegal under U.S. federal law, and enforcement of cannabis laws could change.*** 

The Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. § 811) classifies cannabis as a Schedule I controlled substance, and as such, medical and adult-use cannabis use is illegal under U.S. federal law. In those states in which the use of cannabis has been legalized, its use remains a violation of federal law pursuant to the Controlled Substances Act. Even if cannabis is re-scheduled to Schedule III under the Controlled Substances Act by executive order or legislative action, medical and adult-use cannabis would remain illegal under U.S. federal law without additional statutory changes. Unless and until Congress amends the Controlled Substances Act with respect to cannabis (and the President approves such amendment), there is a risk that federal authorities may enforce current federal law. If that occurs, we may be deemed to be producing, cultivating or dispensing cannabis and drug paraphernalia in violation of federal law. Federal law regarding cannabis is a significant risk and would greatly harm our business, prospects, revenue, results of operation and financial condition.

Our activities are, and will continue to be, subject to evolving regulation by governmental authorities. We are directly or indirectly engaged in the medical and adult-use cannabis industry in the United States where local and state law permits such activities. The legality of the production, cultivation, extraction, distribution, retail sales, transportation and use of cannabis differs among states in the United States. Due to the current regulatory environment in the United States, new risks may emerge, and management may not be able to predict all such risks.

As of December 31, 2025, 40 states (and the territories of Guam, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the District of Columbia) have legalized the cultivation and sale of cannabis for medical purposes. In 24 of those states, the sale and possession of cannabis is legal for both medical and adult-use, and the District of Columbia has legalized adult-use but not commercial sale. Ten of those states legalized adult-use sales within the last five years. In 2024 and 2025, two states legalized (Nebraska) or expanded (Texas) medical cannabis access.

Despite this, our activities in the medical and adult-use cannabis industry are illegal under the applicable federal laws of the United States. There can be no assurances that the federal government of the United States will not seek to enforce the applicable laws against us. The consequences of such enforcement would be materially adverse to us and our business, including our reputation, profitability and the market price of our publicly traded shares, and could result in the forfeiture or seizure of all or substantially all of our assets.

It is further possible that Department of Justice or an aggressive federal prosecutor could allege that Green Thumb Industries Inc., and members of our Board, our executive officers and, potentially, our shareholders, "aided and abetted" violations of federal law by providing finances and services to our portfolio cannabis companies. Under these circumstances, federal prosecutors could seek to seize our assets, and to recover the "illicit profits" previously distributed to shareholders resulting from any of our financing or services. In these circumstances, the Company's operations would cease, shareholders may lose their entire investments and directors, officers and/or shareholders may be left to defend any criminal charges against them at their own expense and, if convicted, be sent to federal prison.

Additionally, there can be no assurance as to the position the current administration or any future administration may take on cannabis, and any administration could decide to enforce federal laws against state-regulated cannabis companies. Any enforcement of current federal cannabis laws could cause significant financial damage to us and our shareholders.

Violations of any federal laws and regulations could result in significant fines, penalties, administrative sanctions, convictions or settlements arising from civil proceedings conducted by either the federal government or private citizens, or criminal charges, including, but not limited to, disgorgement of profits, cessation of business activities or divestiture. These results could have a material adverse effect on us, including, but not limited to, our reputation and ability to conduct business, our holding (directly or indirectly) of cannabis licenses in the United States, the listing of our securities on various stock exchanges, our financial position,

------

operating results, profitability or liquidity or the market price of our Subordinate Voting Shares. In addition, it is difficult to estimate the time or resources that would be needed for the investigation or final resolution of any such matters because: (i) the time and resources that may be needed depend on the nature and extent of any information requested by the authorities involved, and (ii) such time or resources could be substantial.

***Future state regulation of cannabis is uncertain.*** 

There is no assurance that state laws legalizing and regulating the sale and use of cannabis will not be repealed or overturned, or that local governmental authorities will not limit the applicability of state laws within their respective jurisdictions. For example, in 2025, citizen ballot initiatives in three states have sought to repeal all or some portion of their state's adult-use cannabis laws. If the U.S. federal government begins to enforce U.S. federal laws relating to cannabis in states where the sale and use of cannabis is currently legal, or if existing state laws are repealed or curtailed, the Company's business or operations in those states or under those laws would be materially and adversely affected.

Maintaining compliance with complex and ever-changing regulations and laws, including sometimes unclear regulations and laws, can be a difficult task, and a materially compliant business can be found in violation of one or more laws, rules or regulations while remaining materially or substantially compliant with applicable state cannabis laws.

The rulemaking process at the state level that applies to cannabis operators in any state will be ongoing and result in frequent changes. As a result, a compliance program is essential to manage regulatory risk. All operating policies and procedures implemented by the Company are compliance-based and are derived from the state regulatory structure governing ancillary cannabis businesses and their relationships to state-licensed or permitted cannabis operators, if any. Notwithstanding the Company's efforts and diligence, regulatory compliance and the process of obtaining and maintaining regulatory approvals can be costly and time-consuming. No assurance can be given that the Company will receive or be able to maintain the requisite licenses, permits or cards to continue operating our businesses.

In addition, local laws and ordinances could restrict the Company's business activity. Although the Company's operations are legal under the laws of the states in which the Company's business operates, local governments have the ability to limit, restrict and ban cannabis businesses from operating within their jurisdiction. Land use, zoning, local ordinances and similar laws could be adopted or changed and have a material adverse effect on the Company's business. As they amend or develop legislation and regulations, state and local regulators and legislatures may use the regulatory process to slow the growth of multistate operators like the Company, with the intent of creating increased opportunities for resident farmers and entrepreneurs, which could severely restrict our ability to operate in those jurisdictions.

Multiple states where medical and/or adult-use cannabis is legal have or are considering special taxes or fees on businesses in the cannabis industry. It is uncertain at this time whether other states are in the process of reviewing such additional taxes and fees. The implementation of special taxes or fees could have a material adverse effect upon the Company's business, prospects, revenue, results of operation and financial condition.

***We may not be able to obtain or maintain necessary permits and authorizations.***

Our subsidiaries may not be able to obtain or maintain the necessary licenses, permits, certificates, authorizations or accreditations to operate their respective businesses, or may only be able to do so at great cost. In addition, our subsidiaries may not be able to comply fully with the wide variety of laws and regulations applicable to the cannabis industry. Failure to comply with or to obtain the necessary licenses, permits, certificates, authorizations or accreditations could result in restrictions on a subsidiary's ability to operate in the cannabis industry, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

***We may face limitations on ownership of cannabis licenses.***

In certain states, the cannabis laws and regulations limit not only the number of cannabis licenses issued, but also the number of cannabis licenses that one person or entity may own. Such limitations on the ownership of additional licenses within certain states may limit the Company's ability to grow in such states.

***We may become subject to U.S. Food and Drug Administration or Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives regulation.***

Cannabis remains a Schedule I controlled substance under U.S. federal law. If the federal government reclassifies cannabis to a Schedule III controlled substance, it is possible that the Food and Drug Administration would seek to regulate cannabis under the Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act of 1938. Additionally, the Food and Drug Administration may issue rules and regulations, including

------

good manufacturing practices, related to the growth, cultivation, harvesting and processing of medical cannabis. Clinical trials may be needed to verify the efficacy and safety of cannabis. It is also possible that the Food and Drug Administration would require facilities where medical use cannabis is grown to register with the Food and Drug Administration and comply with certain federally prescribed regulations. In the event that some or all of these regulations are imposed, the impact they would have on the cannabis industry is unknown, including the costs, requirements and possible prohibitions that may be enforced. If the Company is unable to comply with the potential regulations or registration requirements prescribed by the Food and Drug Administration, it may have an adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, revenue, results of operation and financial condition.

It is also possible that the federal government could seek to regulate cannabis under the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives may issue rules and regulations related to the use, transporting, sale and advertising of cannabis or cannabis products, including smokeless cannabis products.

We have investments in companies, including RYM, that produce, sell and/or market hemp-derived THC products. The Food and Drug Administration has not permitted the marketing of certain hemp-derived products, such as drinks, gummies, and other ingestible products. While the hemp-derived THC products we have invested in, to our knowledge, are not intended for use in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of a disease or condition, we can provide no assurance that those products or operations will be deemed in compliance with federal regulations, including those enforced by the Food and Drug Administration, which could severely impair or eliminate the value of our investments. More recently, the 2026 Appropriations Act, enacted on November 12, 2025, includes a provision (section 781) to amend the definition of hemp in the 2018 Farm Bill to effectively eliminate the currently commercialized hemp-derived THC products.

There can be no guarantee or assurance whatsoever that the upcoming federal prohibition of hemp-derived THC products will be resolved favorably for the hemp derived products industry. Additionally, various states and municipalities have declared that the sale of certain hemp-derived products are illegal. Aggressive law enforcement against the hemp-derived products industry by federal, state or local authorities and agencies may have a material adverse effect on the value of our investments in companies that produce hemp-derived products.

***As a cannabis business, we are subject to applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations and have restricted access to banking and other financial services.*** 

We are subject to a variety of laws and regulations in the United States that involve money laundering, financial record-keeping and proceeds of crime, including the U.S. Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act of 1970, (which we refer to as the Bank Secrecy Act), as amended by Title III of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (which we refer to as the USA Patriot Act), and any related or similar rules, regulations or guidelines, issued, administered or enforced by governmental authorities in the United States. Accordingly, pursuant to the Bank Secrecy Act, banks or other financial institutions that provide a cannabis business with a checking account, debit or credit card, small business loan or any other service could be found guilty of money laundering, aiding and abetting, or conspiracy.

The United States Department of the Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, which we refer to as FinCEN, issued a memorandum on February 14, 2014, which we refer to as the FinCEN Memorandum, outlining the pathways for financial institutions to bank cannabis businesses in compliance with federal enforcement priorities. The FinCEN Memorandum states that in some circumstances, it is permissible for banks to provide services to cannabis-related businesses without risking prosecution for violation of federal money laundering laws.

While it has not done so in the more than ten years since the FinCEN Memorandum, the Department of Justice continues to have the right and power to prosecute crimes committed by banks and financial institutions, such as money laundering and violations of the Bank Secrecy Act, that occur in any state including states that have in some form legalized the sale of cannabis. Further, the conduct of the Department of Justice's enforcement priorities could change for any number of reasons. A change in the Department of Justice's priorities could result in the prosecution of banks and financial institutions for crimes that were not previously prosecuted.

If our operations, or proceeds thereof, dividend distributions or profits or revenues derived from our operations were found to be in violation of money laundering legislation or otherwise, such transactions may be viewed as proceeds from a crime (the sale of a Schedule I drug) under the Bank Secrecy Act's money laundering provisions. This may restrict our ability to declare or pay dividends or effect other distributions.

------

The FinCEN Memorandum does not provide any safe harbors or legal defenses from examination or regulatory or criminal enforcement actions by the Department of Justice, FinCEN or other federal regulators. Thus, most banks and other financial institutions in the United States do not appear comfortable providing banking services to cannabis-related businesses or relying on this guidance given that it has the potential to be amended or revoked by the current or future administrations. In addition to the foregoing, banks may refuse to process debit card payments and credit card companies generally refuse to process credit card payments for cannabis-related businesses. As a result, we may have limited or no access to banking or other financial services in the United States. In addition, federal money laundering statutes and Bank Secrecy Act regulations discourage financial institutions from working with any organization that sells a controlled substance, regardless of whether the state it operates in permits cannabis sales. Our inability or limitation of our ability to open or maintain bank accounts, obtain other banking services and/or accept credit card and debit card payments may make it difficult for us to operate and conduct our business as planned or to operate efficiently.

In the United States, the "SAFE Banking Act" which has been passed by the U.S. House of Representatives seven times, most recently on July 14, 2022 as an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act, would grant banks and other financial institutions immunity from federal criminal prosecution for servicing Marijuana-Related Businesses if the underlying cannabis business follows state law. However, while the U.S. Senate Banking Committee passed the "SAFER Banking Act" on a bipartisan vote of 14-9 in September 2023, that bill has yet to be brought to the U.S. Senate floor and faces an uncertain future in the U.S. House of Representatives. There is renewed interest in banking reform following President Trump's Executive order directing the Department of Justice to reschedule cannabis, however, there can be no assurance that it will be passed as presently proposed or at all.

In both Canada and the United States, transactions involving banks and other financial institutions are both difficult and unpredictable under the current legal and regulatory landscape. Legislative changes could help to reduce or eliminate these challenges for companies in the cannabis space and would improve the efficiency of both significant and minor financial transactions.

***We may face difficulties acquiring additional financing.*** 

We may require equity and/or debt financing to support on-going operations, to undertake capital expenditures or to undertake acquisitions and/or other business combination transactions. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or on terms which are acceptable. Our inability to raise financing through traditional banking to fund on-going operations, capital expenditures or acquisitions could limit growth and may have a material adverse effect upon the Company's business, prospects, revenue, results of operation and financial condition.

***We lack access to U.S. bankruptcy protections.*** 

Many courts have denied cannabis businesses bankruptcy protections because the use of cannabis is illegal under federal law. In the event of a bankruptcy, it would be very difficult for lenders to recoup their investments in the cannabis industry. If the Company were to experience a bankruptcy, there is no guarantee that U.S. federal bankruptcy protections would be available to us, which would have a material adverse effect on us.

***We operate in a highly regulated sector and may not always succeed in complying fully with applicable regulatory requirements in all jurisdictions where we carry on business.***

Our business and activities are heavily regulated in all jurisdictions where we conduct business. Our operations are subject to various laws, regulations and guidelines by state and local governmental authorities relating to the manufacture, marketing, management, transportation, storage, sale, pricing and disposal of cannabis and cannabis oil, and also including laws and regulations relating to health and safety, insurance coverage, the conduct of operations and the protection of the environment. Laws and regulations, applied generally, grant government agencies and self-regulatory bodies broad administrative discretion over our activities, including the power to limit or restrict business activities as well as impose additional disclosure requirements on our products and services. Achievement of our business objectives is contingent, in part, upon compliance with regulatory requirements enacted by these governmental authorities and obtaining all necessary regulatory approvals for the manufacture, production, storage, transportation, sale, import and export, as applicable, of our products. The commercial cannabis industry is still a new industry at the state and local level.

Furthermore, the effect of relevant governmental authorities' administration, application and enforcement of their respective regulatory regimes and delays in obtaining, or failure to obtain, applicable regulatory approvals which may be required may significantly delay or impact the development of markets, products and sales initiatives and could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, revenue, results of operation and financial condition. Any failure to comply with the regulatory requirements applicable to our operations may lead to possible sanctions including the revocation or imposition of additional conditions on licenses to operate our business; the suspension or expulsion from a particular market or jurisdiction or of our key personnel; the imposition of additional or more stringent inspection, testing and reporting requirements; and the imposition of fines and censures. In addition, changes in regulations, more vigorous enforcement thereof or other unanticipated events could require extensive changes to our

------

operations, increase compliance costs or give rise to material liabilities and/or revocation of our licenses and other permits, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Noncompliance with state law could also make the Company a target for federal criminal enforcement. Additionally, governmental authorities may change their administration, application or enforcement procedures at any time, which may adversely impact our ongoing costs relating to regulatory compliance. Maintaining compliance with complex and ever-changing regulations, including sometimes unclear regulations and laws, can be a difficult task, and a materially compliant business can be found in violation of one or more laws, rules or regulations while remaining materially or substantially compliant with applicable state cannabis laws.

***We face intense competition.*** 

We face intense competition from other companies, some of which have longer operating histories and more financial resources and manufacturing, retail and marketing experience than us. Additionally, if cannabis is rescheduled to a Schedule III drug, there may be a surge of additional competitors in the market, including from well-capitalized companies such as those in the pharmaceutical, tobacco, or alcohol industries. Increased competition by larger and better financed competitors could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Because of the early stage of the industry in which we operate, we face additional competition from new entrants. If the number of consumers of cannabis in the states in which we operate our business increases, the demand for products and qualified talent will increase and we expect that competition will become more intense, as current and future competitors begin to offer an increasing number of diversified products. To remain competitive, we will require a continued high level of investment in research and development, marketing, sales, talent retention and customer support. We may not have sufficient resources to maintain research and development, marketing, sales and customer support efforts on a competitive basis, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, as the number of available licenses increase in the markets in which we operate, additional competition and increased product availability may result in competitors undercutting our prices. From time to time, we may need to reduce our prices in response to competitive and customer pressures and to maintain our market share, which could materially reduce our revenues. A decline in the price of the Subordinate Voting Shares could affect our ability to raise further working capital and adversely impact our ability to continue operations.

A prolonged decline in the price of the Subordinate Voting Shares could result in a reduction in the liquidity of the Subordinate Voting Shares and a reduction in our ability to raise capital, if needed. Such reductions may force us to reallocate funds from other planned uses and may have a significant negative effect on our business plan and operations, including our ability to develop new products and continue our current operations. If our stock price declines, there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital or generate funds from operations sufficient to meet our obligations. If we are unable to raise sufficient capital in the future, we may not be able to have the resources to continue our normal operations.

***We face competition from the illicit market as well as actual or purported 2018 Farm Bill compliant hemp products.***

In addition to the competitor types discussed above, we face and expect to continue to face competition from hemp-derived THC products and illicit cannabis businesses, some of which are unlicensed and unregulated. At least until November 2026, hemp-derived THC products are generally not subject to the intensive and costly state-level regulatory regimes that medical and adult-use cannabis are subject to. These products generally are not produced in adherence with the same laws, regulations, rules, tax regimes and other restrictions that are applicable to us, which significantly reduces these producers' costs, and may have a material adverse effect on our business. In addition, although not subject to the same quality and health and safety regulations applicable to medical and adult-use cannabis businesses, if hemp-derived THC products cause harm to their users, that could result in a material adverse effect on the perception of cannabis use and its legality.

The competition presented by illicit cannabis businesses, and the inability or unwillingness of law enforcement authorities to enforce existing laws prohibiting the unlicensed or otherwise illegal cultivation and sale of cannabis, could result in the perpetuation of the illegal market for cannabis and/or have a material adverse effect on the perception of cannabis use.

***We are dependent on the popularity of consumer acceptance of our brand portfolio, which we license from a third party.*** 

Our ability to generate revenue and be successful in the implementation of our business plan is dependent on consumer acceptance of and demand for our products. Acceptance of our products depends on several factors, including availability, cost, ease of use, familiarity of use, convenience, effectiveness, safety and reliability. If these customers do not accept our products, or if such products fail to adequately meet customers' needs and expectations, our ability to continue generating revenues could be reduced. As the number of available cannabis licenses increase in the markets in which we operate, and the illicit market and hemp-derived THC products proliferate, additional competition and increased product availability may result in competitors undercutting our prices. From time to time, we may need to reduce our prices in response to competitive and customer pressures and to maintain our market share, which could materially reduce our revenues.

------

We license our consumer packaged goods brands, including &Shine, Beboe, Dogwalkers, Doctor Solomon's, Good Green, incredibles and RYTHM, from RYM, a third party of which we own approximately 33% of the outstanding common stock. We pay RYM a monthly license fee based on sales of products using the licensed intellectual property. Our license agreements with RYM automatically terminates upon certain insolvency events involving our indirect, wholly owned subsidiary, GTI Core, LLC, and may be terminated by GTI Core, LLC beginning on the five-year anniversary of the license agreement which is August 27, 2030. If the license agreement were to terminate, we may need to rebrand our products, which may necessitate a reduction in our prices, which could materially reduce our revenues, and our future growth may depend upon our ability to maintain our licensing arrangements with RYM.

***We may face difficulties in enforcing our contracts.***

Because our contracts involve cannabis and other activities that are not legal under federal law and in some state jurisdictions, we may face difficulties in enforcing our contracts in federal courts and certain state courts. We cannot be assured that we will have a remedy for breach of contract, which could have a material adverse effect on us.

***We have limited trademark protection.***

We are not able to register any federal trademarks for our cannabis products. Because producing, manufacturing, processing, possessing, distributing, selling and using cannabis is a crime under the Controlled Substances Act, the Patent and Trademark Office will not permit the registration of any trademark that identifies cannabis products. As a result, we likely will be unable to protect our cannabis product trademarks beyond the geographic areas in which we conduct business. The use of our trademarks outside the states in which we operate by one or more other persons could have a material adverse effect on the value of such trademarks.

***We are and may continue to be subject to constraints on marketing our products.***

Certain states in which we operate have enacted strict regulations regarding marketing and sales activities on cannabis products. There may be restrictions on sales and marketing activities imposed by government regulatory bodies that can hinder the development of the Company's business and operating results. Restrictions may include regulations that specify what, where and to whom product information and descriptions may appear and/or be advertised. Marketing, advertising, packaging and labeling regulations also vary from state to state, potentially limiting the consistency and scale of consumer branding communication and product education efforts. The regulatory environment in the U.S. limits our ability to compete for market share in a manner similar to other industries. If we are unable to effectively market our products and compete for market share, or if the costs of compliance with government legislation and regulation cannot be absorbed through increased selling prices for our products, our sales and operating results could be adversely affected.

***We face risks related to the results of future clinical research.*** 

Research regarding the medical benefits, viability, safety, efficacy, dosing and social acceptance of cannabis or isolated cannabinoids (such as cannabidiol, commonly referred to as CBD and THC) remains in early stages. We need more double-blind placebo clinical trials in the U.S. to demonstrate the benefits of cannabis or isolated cannabinoids (such as CBD and THC), safe dosing, and safe and effective product formats for specific medical conditions. Although we believe that various articles, reports and studies support our beliefs regarding the medical benefits, viability, safety, efficacy, dosing and social acceptance of cannabis, future research and clinical trials may prove such statements to be incorrect, or could raise concerns regarding, and perceptions relating to, cannabis. Further, because of the federal illegality of cannabis and associated limits on our ability to properly fund and conduct research on cannabis and the lack of formal Food and Drug Administration oversight of cannabis, there is limited information about the long-term safety and efficacy of cannabis in it various forms, when combusted or combined with various cannabis and/or non-cannabis derived ingredients and materials or when ingested, inhaled or topically applied. Future research or oversight may reveal negative health and safety effects, which may significantly impact our reputation, operations and financial performance.

Given these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, prospective purchasers of Subordinate Voting Shares should not place undue reliance on such articles and reports. Future research studies and clinical trials may draw opposing conclusions to those stated in this Annual Report on Form 10-K or reach negative conclusions regarding the medical benefits, viability, safety, efficacy, dosing, social acceptance or other facts and perceptions related to cannabis, which could have a material adverse effect on the demand for our products, with the potential to have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, revenue, results of operation and financial condition.

------

***We are subject to taxation in Canada and the United States.*** 

We are and will continue to be a Canadian corporation as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We are treated as a Canadian resident company (as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada)) subject to Canadian income taxes. We are also treated as a U.S. corporation subject to U.S. federal income tax pursuant to Section 7874 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (which we refer to as the "IRC") and are subject to U.S. federal income tax on our income. As a result, we are subject to taxation both in Canada and the United States, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

It is unlikely that we will pay any dividends on the Subordinate Voting Shares in the foreseeable future. However, dividends received by shareholders who are residents of Canada for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) will be subject to U.S. withholding tax. Any such dividends may not qualify for a reduced rate of withholding tax under the Canada-United States tax treaty. In addition, a foreign tax credit or a deduction in respect of foreign taxes may not be available.

Dividends received by U.S. shareholders will not be subject to U.S. withholding tax but will be subject to Canadian withholding tax. Dividends paid by us will be characterized as U.S. source income for purposes of the foreign tax credit rules under the IRC. Accordingly, U.S. shareholders generally will not be able to claim a credit for any Canadian tax withheld unless, depending on the circumstances, they have an excess foreign tax credit limitation due to other foreign source income that is subject to a low or zero rate of foreign tax.

Dividends received by shareholders that are neither Canadian nor U.S. shareholders will be subject to U.S. withholding tax and will also be subject to Canadian withholding tax. These dividends may not qualify for a reduced rate of U.S. withholding tax under any income tax treaty otherwise applicable to our shareholders, subject to examination of the relevant treaty. Because the Subordinate Voting Shares are treated as shares of a U.S. domestic corporation, the U.S. gift, estate and generation-skipping transfer tax rules generally apply to a non-U.S. shareholder of Subordinate Voting Shares. Each shareholder should seek tax advice, based on such shareholder's particular circumstances, from an independent tax advisor.

***As a cannabis business, we are subject to unfavorable U.S. tax treatment and may incur significant tax liability.*** 

Under Section 280E of the IRC, no deduction or credit shall be allowed for any amount paid or incurred during the taxable year in carrying on any trade or business if such trade or business (or the activities which comprise such trade or business) consists of trafficking in controlled substances (within the meaning of Schedule I and II of the Controlled Substances Act) which is prohibited by Federal law or the law of any state in which such trade or business is conducted. The U.S. Internal Revenue Service has applied this provision to cannabis operations, prohibiting them from deducting certain expenses associated with cannabis businesses. While Section 280E may have a lesser impact on cannabis cultivation and manufacturing operations, it has outsized impacts on retail operations. Accordingly, unless and until cannabis is rescheduled to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act or other legislative change happens, Section 280E has a significant impact on the operations of cannabis companies and an otherwise profitable business may operate at a loss, after taking into account its U.S. income tax expenses. We have taken the position that Section 280E does not apply to our business and therefore have recorded a corresponding uncertain tax position starting with tax year 2024. There is a risk that the Internal Revenue Service could challenge the Company's position, which could result in significant tax and other liabilities.

***As a cannabis business, we may be subject to civil asset forfeiture.*** 

Any property owned by participants in the cannabis industry used in the course of conducting such business, or that is the proceeds of such business, could be subject to seizure by law enforcement and subsequent civil asset forfeiture because of the illegality of the cannabis industry under federal law. Even if the owner of the property is never charged with a crime, the property in question could still be seized and subject to an administrative proceeding by which, with minimal due process, it could be subject to forfeiture.

***We are subject to proceeds of crime statutes.*** 

We are subject to a variety of laws that concern money laundering, financial recordkeeping and proceeds of crime. These include: the Bank Secrecy Act, as amended by Title III of the USA Patriot Act, the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (Canada), the rules and regulations under the Criminal Code of Canada and any related or similar rules, regulations or guidelines, issued, administered or enforced by governmental authorities in the United States and Canada.

------

In the event that any of our license agreements, or any proceeds thereof, in the United States were found to be in violation of money laundering legislation or otherwise, such transactions may be viewed as proceeds of crime under one or more of the statutes noted above, or any other applicable legislation. This could have a material adverse effect on us, among other things, could restrict or otherwise jeopardize our ability to declare or pay dividends, effect other distributions or subsequently repatriate such funds back to Canada.

***We face exposure to fraudulent or illegal activity.*** 

We face exposure to the risk that employees, independent contractors or consultants may engage in fraudulent or other illegal activities. Misconduct by these parties could be intentional, reckless and/or negligent conduct. There may be disclosure of unauthorized activities that violate government regulations, manufacturing standards, healthcare laws, abuse laws and other financial reporting laws. Further, it may not always be possible for us to identify and deter misconduct by our employees and other third parties, and the precautions taken by us to detect and prevent these activities may not always be effective. As a result, we could face potential penalties and litigation.

***Our internal controls over financial reporting may not be effective, and our independent auditors may not be able to certify as to their effectiveness, which could have a significant and adverse effect on our business.***

We are subject to various SEC reporting and other regulatory requirements. We have incurred and will continue to incur expenses and, to a lesser extent, diversion of our management's time, in our efforts to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act regarding internal controls over financial reporting. Effective internal controls over financial reporting are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and, together with adequate disclosure controls and procedures, are designed to prevent fraud. Any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations. In addition, any testing by us conducted in connection with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, or the subsequent testing by our independent registered public accounting firm, may reveal deficiencies in our internal controls over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses or that may require prospective or retrospective changes to our consolidated financial statements or identify other areas for further attention or improvement. Inferior internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our Subordinate Voting Shares.

***Material acquisitions, dispositions and other strategic transactions involve a number of risks for us***.

Material acquisitions, dispositions and other strategic transactions involve a number of risks for us, including: (i) potential disruption of our ongoing business; (ii) distraction of management; (iii) increased financial leverage; (iv) the anticipated benefits and cost savings of those transactions may not be realized or may take longer to realize than anticipated; (v) increased scope and complexity of our operations; and (vi) loss or reduction of control over certain of our assets. Multiple non-material acquisitions, dispositions or strategic transactions that occur on or about the same time, even though not individually material, may present similar risks to the Company.

Additionally, we may issue additional Subordinate Voting Shares in connection with such transactions, which would dilute a shareholder's holdings in the Company.

The presence of one or more material liabilities of an acquired company that are known, but believed to be immaterial, or unknown to us at the time of acquisition could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, revenue, results of operation and financial condition. A strategic transaction may result in a significant change in the nature of our business, operations and strategy. In addition, we may encounter unforeseen obstacles or costs in implementing a strategic transaction or integrating any acquired business into our operations. These and other circumstances could also result in the impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets.

***We may invest in companies which may not be able to meet anticipated development targets or otherwise be successful in the future*.**

We may make investments in companies with no significant sources of operating cash flow and no revenue from operations, that are in early stages of development, or that have high-risk profiles for reasons including, but not limited to, a rapidly changing regulatory environment. Our investments in such companies will be subject to risks and uncertainties that new companies with no or limited operating history may face. In particular, there is a risk that our investment in these companies will not be able to meet anticipated development targets or will not generate revenue at all. If these companies underperform or fail to continue to develop, their businesses may fail, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, revenue, results of operation and financial condition.

------

 ***Our use of joint ventures, strategic partnerships and alliances may expose us to risks associated with jointly owned investments.***

We currently operate parts of our business through joint ventures with other companies, and we may enter into additional joint ventures and strategic alliances in the future. Joint venture investments may involve risks not otherwise present in investments made solely by us, including: (i) we may not control the joint ventures; (ii) our joint venture partners may not agree to distributions that we believe are appropriate; (iii) where we do not have substantial decision-making authority, we may experience impasses or disputes with our joint venture partners on certain decisions, which could require us to expend additional resources to resolve such impasses or disputes, including litigation or arbitration; (iv) our joint venture partners may become insolvent or bankrupt, fail to fund their share of required capital contributions or fail to fulfill their obligations as a joint venture partner; (v) the arrangements governing our joint ventures may contain certain conditions or milestone events that may never be satisfied or achieved; (vi) our joint venture partners may have business or economic interests that are inconsistent with ours and may take actions contrary to our interests; (vii) we may suffer losses as a result of actions taken by our joint venture partners with respect to our joint venture investments; and (viii) it may be difficult for us to exit a joint venture if an impasse arises or if we desire to sell our interest for any reason. Any of the foregoing risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, we may, in certain circumstances, be liable for the actions of our joint venture partners.

***There can be no assurance that our current and future strategic alliances or expansions of scope of existing relationships will have a beneficial impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.***

We currently have, and may in the future enter into, additional strategic alliances with third parties that we believe will complement or augment our existing business. Our ability to complete strategic alliances is dependent upon, and may be limited by, the availability of suitable candidates and capital. In addition, strategic alliances could present unforeseen integration obstacles or costs, may not enhance our business and may involve risks that could adversely affect us, including significant amounts of management time that may be diverted from operations in order to pursue and complete such transactions or maintain such strategic alliances. Future strategic alliances could result in the incurrence of additional debt, costs and contingent liabilities, and there can be no assurance that future strategic alliances will achieve, or that our existing strategic alliances will continue to achieve, the expected benefits to our business or that we will be able to consummate future strategic alliances on satisfactory terms, if at all. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 ***Limitations related to the acquisition and leasing of properties suitable for the cultivation, production and sale of medical and adult-use cannabis may impede our ability to acquire or lease desirable properties at fair market rates, which could adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.***

We compete for the acquisition and leasing of properties suitable for the cultivation, production and sale of medical and adult-use cannabis with entities engaged in traditional agriculture, and those engaged in real estate investment activities and with other cannabis cultivators, producers and sellers. Furthermore, in many markets, local governments have placed tight restrictions on where cannabis cultivation, production and sale facilities may be located. In addition, due to the continued reluctance of the banking industry to support cannabis businesses, it ‎may be difficult for us to obtain the rights to operate at preferred properties, and properties that are encumbered by loans from institutional banks. Property ‎owners may violate their mortgages by leasing to us, and those property owners that are willing to allow ‎use of their facilities for cannabis purposes may demand above fair market rents to reflect the scarcity of such locations ‎and the perceived risks and costs of providing such facilities. All of these factors may prevent us from acquiring and leasing desirable properties, may cause an increase in the price we must pay for properties or may result in us having to lease our properties on less favorable terms than we expect.

Our competitors may adopt transaction structures similar to ours, which would decrease our competitive advantage in offering flexible transaction terms. In addition, due to a number of factors, the number of entities and the amount of funds competing for suitable investment properties may increase, resulting in increased demand and increased prices paid for these properties. If we pay higher prices for properties or enter into leases for such properties on less favorable terms than we expect, our profitability and ability to generate cash flow and make distributions to our stockholders may decrease.

***Our reputation and ability to do business may be negatively impacted by the improper conduct by our business partners, employees or agents.***

We depend on third-party suppliers to produce and timely ship our orders. Products purchased from our suppliers are resold to our customers. These suppliers could fail to produce products to our specifications or quality standards and may not deliver units on a timely basis. Any changes in our suppliers to resolve production issues could impact our ability to fulfill orders and could also disrupt our business due to delays in finding new suppliers.

------

Furthermore, we cannot provide assurance that our internal controls and compliance systems will protect us from acts committed by our employees, agents or business partners in violation of U.S. federal or state or local laws. Any improper acts or allegations could damage our reputation and subject us to civil or criminal investigations and related shareholder lawsuits, could lead to substantial civic and criminal monetary and non-monetary penalties and could cause us to incur significant legal and investigatory fees.

***We face risks due to industry immaturity or limited comparable, competitive or established industry best practices.***

As a relatively new industry, there are not many established operators in the medical and adult-use cannabis industries whose business models we can follow or build upon. Similarly, there is no or limited information about comparable companies available for potential investors to review in making a decision about whether to invest in us.

Shareholders and investors should consider, among other factors, our prospects for success in light of the risks and uncertainties encountered by companies, like us, that are in their early stages. For example, unanticipated expenses and problems or technical difficulties may occur, which may result in material delays in the operation of our business. We may fail to successfully address these risks and uncertainties or successfully implement our operating strategies. If we fail to do so, it could materially harm our business to the point of having to cease operations and could impair the value of the Subordinate Voting Shares to the extent that investors may lose their entire investment.

***We face risks related to our products.***

We have committed and expect to continue committing significant resources and capital to develop and market existing products and new products and services. These products are relatively untested in the marketplace, and we cannot assure shareholders and investors that we will achieve market acceptance for these products, or other new products and services that we may offer in the future, or that our products that achieve market acceptance will be able to maintain that acceptance over time. Moreover, these and other new products and services may be subject to significant competition with offerings by new and existing competitors in the business. In addition, new products and services may pose a variety of challenges and require us to attract additional qualified employees. The failure to successfully develop and market these new products and services could seriously harm our business, prospects, revenue, results of operation and financial condition. As discussed above under Item 1—"Business - Competitive Conditions and the Company's Position in the Industry - Competition", the Company also faces competition from products that are not subject to testing or regulation by state agencies, not subject to the same taxes, and otherwise able to be priced significantly lower than the Company's products.

***Our business is subject to the risks inherent in agricultural operations.***

The Company's business involves the growing of cannabis, an agricultural product. The Company's business is subject to the risks inherent in the agricultural business, such as insects, plant diseases and similar agricultural risks. Although the Company's cultivation is substantially completed indoors under climate control, some cultivation is completed outdoors, and there can be no assurance that natural elements will not have a material adverse effect on any future production.

***We face an inherent risk of product liability and similar claims.*** 

As a producer, distributor and retailer of products designed to be ingested by humans, we face an inherent risk of exposure to product liability claims, regulatory action and litigation if our products are alleged to have failed to meet expected standards or to have caused significant loss or injury. In addition, the sale of our products involves the risk of injury to consumers due to tampering by unauthorized third parties or product contamination. Previously unknown adverse reactions resulting from human consumption of our products alone or in combination with other medications or substances could occur. We may be subject to various product liability claims, including, among others, that our products caused injury, illness or death, include inadequate instructions for use or include inadequate warnings concerning possible side effects or interactions with other substances. As an agricultural product, the quality of cannabis is inherently variable, and consumers may raise claims that our quality control or labeling processes have not sufficiently ensured that our grown and manufactured processes are sufficient to meet expected standards. A product liability claim or regulatory action against us could result in increased costs, could adversely affect our reputation with our clients and consumers generally and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. There can be no assurances that we will be able to obtain or maintain product liability insurance on acceptable terms or with adequate coverage against potential liabilities. Such insurance is expensive and may not be available in the future on acceptable terms, or at all. The inability to obtain sufficient insurance coverage on reasonable terms or to otherwise protect against potential product liability claims could prevent or inhibit the commercialization of our potential products.

------

***Our products may be subject to product recalls.***

Manufacturers, distributors and retailers of products are sometimes subject to the recall or return of their products for a variety of reasons, including product defects, such as contamination, unintended harmful side effects or interactions with other substances, packaging safety and inadequate or inaccurate labeling disclosure. If any of our products or products sold at our retail stores are recalled due to an alleged product defect or for any other reason, we could be required to incur the unexpected expense of the recall and any legal proceedings that might arise in connection with the recall. We may lose a significant amount of sales and may not be able to replace those sales at an acceptable margin, if at all. In addition, a product recall may require significant management attention. Although we have detailed procedures in place for testing our products and requiring compliant labeling of third-party products we sell, there can be no assurance that any quality, potency or contamination problems will be detected in time to avoid unforeseen product recalls, regulatory action or lawsuits. Additionally, if any of our brands were subject to recall, our image and the image of that brand could be harmed. A recall for any of the foregoing reasons could lead to decreased demand for our products and could have a material adverse effect on the results of our operations and financial condition. Additionally, product recalls may lead to increased scrutiny of our operations by the Food and Drug Administration, or other regulatory agencies, requiring further management attention and potential legal fees and other expenses.

***We may face unfavorable publicity or consumer perception.*** 

Management believes the medical and adult-use cannabis industry is highly dependent upon consumer perception regarding the safety, efficacy and quality of the cannabis produced. Consumer perception of our products may be significantly influenced by scientific research or findings, regulatory investigations, litigation, media attention and other publicity regarding the consumption of cannabis products. There can be no assurance that future scientific research, findings, regulatory proceedings, litigation, media attention or other research findings or publicity will be favorable to the cannabis market or any particular product, or consistent with earlier publicity. Future research reports, findings, regulatory proceedings, litigation, media attention or other publicity that is perceived as less favorable than, or questions earlier research reports, findings or publicity could have a material adverse effect on the demand for our products. Our dependence upon consumer perceptions means that such adverse reports, whether or not accurate or with merit, could ultimately have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Further, adverse publicity reports or other media attention regarding the safety, efficacy and quality of cannabis in general, or our products specifically, or associating the consumption of cannabis with illness or other negative effects or events, could have such a material adverse effect. Although the Company uses quality control processes and procedures to ensure our consumer packaged goods meet our standards, a failure or alleged failure of such processes and procedures could result in negative consumer perception of our products or legal claims against us. Adverse publicity reports or other media attention could arise even if the adverse effects associated with such products resulted from consumers' failure to consume such products appropriately or as directed.

Certain of our products are e-vapor or "vape" products. The use of vape products and vaping may pose health risks. According to the Centers for Disease Control, vape products may contain ingredients that are known to be toxic to humans and may contain other ingredients that may not be safe. Because clinical studies about the safety and efficacy of vape products have not been submitted to the Food and Drug Administration, and the Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease control continue to conduct ongoing investigations, consumers currently have no way of knowing whether they are safe for their intended use or what types or concentrations of potentially harmful chemicals or by-products are found in these products. It is also uncertain what implications the use of vape or other inhaled products, such as flower that is smoked, may have on respiratory illnesses. Adverse findings, regulatory investigations, litigation, media attention, new regulatory requirements and other publicity regarding the consumption of vape or other inhaled products, including adverse publicity regarding underage use of vape or other inhaled products, may adversely affect the Company.

***We may be adversely impacted by rising or volatile energy costs and availability.*** 

The Company's cannabis growing operations require energy supply, which makes it vulnerable to rising energy costs. Accordingly, rising or volatile energy costs may adversely affect the business of the Company and our ability to operate profitably. Further, from time to time in some markets in which we operate, our demand for energy may exceed the available supply. In limited circumstances, we have had to rely on alternative power sources such as generators to power our cultivation and processing facilities. A more prolonged disruption in our ability to maintain sufficient power to operate our facilities could result in a significant disruption of our operations, damage to our agricultural products or equipment, and result in a material adverse effect to our business.

***We may encounter unknown environmental risks.*** 

There can be no assurance that the Company will not encounter hazardous conditions, such as asbestos or lead, at the sites of the real estate used to operate our businesses, which may delay the development of our businesses. Climate change or significant weather events may accelerate or exacerbate environmental conditions in ways that adversely affect the business due to potential negative effects on agricultural conditions, increased difficulty in construction projects to support our operations, and ownership or

------

leasing of real property generally. Upon encountering a hazardous condition, work at the facilities of the Company may be suspended. If the Company receives notice of a hazardous condition, it may be required to correct the condition prior to continuing construction. If additional hazardous conditions were present, it would likely delay construction and may require significant expenditure of the Company's resources to correct the conditions. Such conditions could have a material impact on the investment returns of the Company.

In addition, the operations of the Company are subject to environmental regulation in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. These regulations mandate, among other things, the maintenance of air and water quality standards and land reclamation. They also set forth limitations on the generation, transportation, storage and disposal of solid and hazardous waste. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner which will require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors (or the equivalent thereof) and employees. There is no assurance that future changes in environmental regulation, if any, will not adversely affect the operations of the Company.

***We face risks related to our information and operational technology systems, and potential cyber-attacks and security breaches.***

Our operations depend, in part, on how well we and our suppliers protect networks, equipment, information technology, which we refer to as IT, systems and software against damage and threats, including, but not limited to, cable cuts, damage to physical plants, natural disasters, intentional damage and destruction, fire, power loss, hacking, computer viruses, vandalism, fraud and theft. Our operations also depend on the timely maintenance and replacement of network equipment, IT systems and software, as well as pre-emptive expenses to mitigate associated risks. Given the nature of our products and the lack of legal availability outside of channels approved by the federal government, as well as the concentration of inventory in our facilities, there remains a risk of shrinkages, as well as theft. If there was a breach in security and we fell victim to theft, fraud, cyber-attack or robbery, the loss of cannabis plants, cannabis oils, cannabis flowers and cultivation and processing equipment, or if there was a failure or breach in information systems, it could adversely affect our reputation and business continuity. Breaches or other unauthorized access, theft, modification or destruction of confidential patient, customer, employee or other confidential information that is stored in our systems could adversely affect our business.

Additionally, we may store and collect personal information about patients and customers and are responsible for protecting that information from privacy breaches that may occur through procedural or process failure, IT malfunction or deliberate unauthorized intrusions. Any such theft or privacy breach, or one that involved competitively sensitive or other protected information, would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, revenue, results of operation and financial condition.

We could experience a cyber incident, which generally refers to any intentional attack or an unintentional event that results in unauthorized access to systems to disrupt operations, corrupt data or steal or expose confidential information or intellectual property, or a ransomware attack, which is a type of malicious software that infects a computer and restricts users' access to it until a ransom is paid to unlock it. Any such incident that compromises the information stored on our systems could result in widespread negative publicity, damage to our reputation, a loss of patients and customers, disruption of our business and legal liabilities. If any of our critical suppliers is the subject of a cyber or ransomware attack, we could experience a significant disruption in our supply chain and possibly shortages of key resources.

We are subject to laws, rules and regulations in the United States such as the California Privacy Rights Act, Connecticut Personal Data Privacy and Online Monitoring Act (CPDPOMA), New Jersey Data Privacy Act (NJDPA) and the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA), and those of other jurisdictions relating to the collection, processing, storage, transfer and use of personal data. Our ability to execute transactions and to possess and use personal information and data in conducting our business subjects us to legislative and regulatory burdens that may require us to notify regulators and customers, employees and other individuals of a data security breach. Evolving compliance and operational requirements under applicable privacy laws, rules and regulations of other jurisdictions in which we operate impose significant costs that are likely to increase over time. In addition, non-compliance could result in proceedings against us by governmental entities and/or significant fines, could negatively impact our reputation and may otherwise adversely impact our business, financial condition and operating results.

***We rely on third parties to provide numerous capabilities that we depend upon on to operate, and a disruption of these systems could adversely affect our business.***

We are dependent on vendors and third-party software providers, such as our seed-to-sale tracking software providers and point of sale transaction processing providers to operate our business. A serious disruption to any of these could significantly limit our ability to serve our customers and operate profitably. The failure of one or more such providers to provide the expected services, provide them on a timely basis or provide them at the prices we expect, or otherwise meet our performance standards and expectations (including with respect to data security, compliance and data privacy and protection laws) may adversely affect our business. Further,

------

if we found it necessary to replace any such service provider, disruptions arising from the transition of functions to an alternative provider, or the costs developing our own software if we were unable to find an alternate provider, may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Any disruption could cause our business and competitive position to suffer and cause our operating results to be reduced.

***We face risks related to our insurance coverage and uninsurable risks.***

Our business is subject to a number of risks and hazards generally, including adverse environmental conditions, accidents, labor disputes, destruction from civil unrest and changes in the regulatory environment. Such occurrences could result in damage to assets, personal injury or death, environmental damage, delays in operations, monetary losses and possible legal liability.

Although we intend to continue to maintain insurance to protect against certain risks in such amounts as we consider to be reasonable, our insurance will not cover all the potential risks associated with our operations, and our insurance coverage may not effectively mitigate the material impact on our financial position or results of operations resulting from claims or liabilities against us. We may also be unable to maintain insurance to cover these risks at economically feasible premiums. Insurance coverage may not continue to be available or may not be adequate to cover any resulting liability. Moreover, insurance against risks such as environmental pollution or other hazards encountered in our operations is not generally available on acceptable terms. We might also become subject to liability for pollution or other hazards which the Company may not be insured against or which we may elect not to insure against because of premium costs or other reasons. Losses from these events may cause us to incur significant costs that could have a material adverse effect upon our financial performance and results of operations.

***We are dependent on key inputs, suppliers and skilled labor; and fluctuations in the cost or availability of materials we use in our products and supply chain could negatively affect our results.***

The cannabis business is dependent on a number of key inputs and their related costs, including raw materials and supplies related to growing operations, as well as electricity, water and other local utilities. Any significant interruption or negative change in the availability or economics of the supply chain for key inputs, such as the raw material cost of cannabis, materials we use in our products and for the construction and development of our facilities, or natural or other disruptions to power or other utility systems, could materially impact our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects. Some of these inputs may only be available from a single supplier or a limited group of suppliers, or be sourced abroad. If a sole source supplier was to go out of business, we might be unable to find a replacement for such source in a timely manner, or at all. If a sole source supplier were to be acquired by a competitor, that competitor may elect not to sell to us in the future. Manufacturing delays or unexpected transportation delays, particularly from materials we source abroad, can also cause us to incur significantly increased costs. Any of these fluctuations may increase our cost of products and have an adverse effect on our profit margins, results of operations and financial condition. Any inability to secure required supplies and services, or to do so on appropriate terms, could have a materially adverse impact on our business, prospects, revenue, results of operations and financial condition.

Our ability to compete and grow will be dependent on us having access, at a reasonable cost and in a timely manner, to skilled labor, equipment, parts and components. No assurances can be given that we will be successful in maintaining our required supply of skilled labor, equipment, parts and components.

***We rely on the expertise of our management team and other employees experienced in the cannabis industry, and the loss of key personnel could negatively affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.*** 

Our success largely depends upon the continued services of our executive officers and management team members. If one or more of our executive officers or management members is unable or unwilling to continue in their present position, we may not be able to replace such individual readily, if at all. Additionally, we may incur additional expenses to recruit and retain new executive officers and management members and personnel with experience in the cannabis industry. We do not maintain "key person" life insurance on any of our executive officers. Because of these factors, the loss of the services of any key persons could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

***We must attract and maintain key personnel or our business will fail.*** 

Our success is dependent upon the ability, expertise, judgment, discretion and good faith of our senior management and key personnel. We compete with other companies both within and outside the cannabis industry to recruit and retain competent employees. If we cannot maintain qualified employees to meet the needs of our anticipated growth, or do so affordably, our business and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

------

***Our sales are difficult to forecast.*** 

As a result of recent and ongoing regulatory and policy changes in the medical and adult-use cannabis industries, laws that prevent widespread participation in and otherwise hinder market research in the medical and adult-use cannabis industry, and unreliable levels of market supply, the market data available is limited and unreliable. We must rely largely on our own market research to forecast sales, as detailed forecasts are not generally obtainable from other sources in the states in which our business operates. Additionally, any market research and our projections of estimated total retail sales, demographics, demand and similar consumer research, are based on assumptions from limited and unreliable market data. A failure in the demand for our products to materialize as a result of competition, technological change, failure of states to enforce cannabis regulations, the use of hemp-derived THC products or other factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

***We may be subject to growth-related risks.*** 

We may be subject to growth-related risks, including capacity constraints and pressure on our internal systems and controls. Our ability to manage growth effectively will require us to continue to implement and improve our operational and financial systems and to expand, train and manage our employee base. Our inability to deal with this growth may have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, revenue, results of operation and financial condition.

***We may be subject to litigation.***

We may become party to litigation from time to time in the ordinary course of business, which could adversely affect our business. Should any litigation in which we become involved be determined against us, such a decision could adversely affect our ability to continue operating and the market price for the Subordinate Voting Shares and could potentially use significant resources. Even if we are involved in litigation and win, litigation can redirect significant resources of Green Thumb Industries Inc. and/or its subsidiaries.

***We may be exposed to infringement or misappropriation claims by third parties, which, if determined adversely to us, could subject us to significant liabilities and other costs.***

Our success may depend on our ability to use and develop new extraction technologies, recipes, know-how and new strains of cannabis without infringing the intellectual property rights of third parties. We cannot assure that third parties will not assert intellectual property claims against us. We are subject to additional risks if entities licensing intellectual property to us do not have adequate rights to the licensed materials. If third parties assert copyright or patent infringement or violation of other intellectual property rights against us, we will be required to defend ourselves in litigation or administrative proceedings, which can be both costly and time consuming and may significantly divert the efforts and resources of management personnel. An adverse determination in any such litigation or proceedings to which we may become a party could subject us to significant liability to third parties, require us to seek licenses from third parties, require us to pay ongoing royalties or subject us to injunctions that may prohibit the development and operation of our applications.

***We may have increased labor costs based on union activity.***

Labor unions are working to organize workforces in the cannabis industry in general, and regulators are increasingly requiring us to enter into labor peace agreements with unions as a condition of receiving a license. Currently, approximately 20% of our total workforce has elected to be represented by a labor organization for purposes of collective bargaining. However, it is possible that greater portions of our workforce at retail and/or manufacturing locations will be organized in the future, which could lead to work stoppages or increased labor costs and adversely affect our business, profitability and our ability to reinvest into the growth of our business. We cannot predict how stable our relationships with U.S. labor organizations will remain or whether we can meet any unions' requirements without impacting our financial condition. Labor unions may also limit our flexibility in dealing with our workforce. Work stoppages and instability in our union relationships could delay the production and sale of our products, which could strain relationships with customers and cause a loss of revenues which would adversely affect our operations.

***We are a holding company.***

We are a holding company and essentially all of our assets are the capital stock of our subsidiaries in our fourteen markets, including California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Virginia. As a result, investors in the Company are subject to the risks attributable to our subsidiaries. As a holding company, we conduct substantially all of our business through our subsidiaries, which generate substantially all of our revenues. Consequently, our cash flows and ability to complete current or desirable future enhancement opportunities are dependent on the earnings of our subsidiaries and the distribution of those earnings to us. The ability of these entities to pay dividends and other distributions depends on their operating results and is subject to applicable laws and regulations, which require that solvency and

------

capital standards be maintained by the subsidiaries and contractual restrictions are contained in the instruments governing their debt. In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of any of our material subsidiaries, holders of indebtedness and trade creditors may be entitled to payment of their claims from the assets of those subsidiaries before us.

***We may be subject to heightened scrutiny by Canadian regulatory authorities.***

The business, operations and investments of the Company in the United States, and any future business, operations or investments, may become the subject of heightened scrutiny by regulators, stock exchanges and other authorities in Canada and the United States. There can be no assurance that this heightened scrutiny will not in turn lead to the imposition of certain restrictions on the Company's ability to operate or invest in the United States or any other jurisdiction, in addition to those described herein.

The Canadian Securities Administrators', Staff Notice 51-352 describes the Canadian Securities Administrators' disclosure expectations for specific risks facing issuers with cannabis-related activities in the U.S. Staff Notice 51-352 confirms that a disclosure-based approach remains appropriate for issuers with U.S. cannabis-related activities. Staff Notice 51-352 includes additional disclosure expectations that apply to all issuers with U.S. cannabis-related activities, including those with direct and indirect involvement in the cultivation and distribution of cannabis, as well as issuers that provide goods and services to third parties involved in the U.S. cannabis industry.

On February 8, 2018, following discussions with the Canadian Securities Administrators and recognized Canadian securities exchanges, the TMX Group, which is the owner and operator of CDS Clearing Depository for Securities Limited ("CDS"), announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") with Aequitas NEO Exchange Inc. (now CBOE Canada), the CSE, the Toronto Stock Exchange and the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV"). The MOU outlines the parties' understanding of Canada's regulatory framework applicable to the rules, procedures and regulatory oversight of the exchanges and CDS as it relates to issuers with cannabis-related activities in the United States. The MOU confirms, with respect to the clearing of listed securities, that CDS relies on the Canadian securities exchanges to review the conduct of listed issuers. The MOU notes that securities regulation requires that the rules of each of the exchanges must not be contrary to the public interest and that the rules of each of the exchanges have been approved by the securities regulators. Pursuant to the MOU, CDS will not ban accepting deposits of or transactions for clearing and settlement of securities of issuers with cannabis-related activities in the United States. Even though the MOU indicated that there are no plans to ban the settlement of securities through CDS, there can be no guarantee that this approach to regulation will continue in the future. If such a ban were implemented at a time when Subordinate Voting Shares are listed on a Canadian stock exchange, it would have a material adverse effect on the ability of holders of Subordinate Voting Shares to make and settle trades in Canada.

***We are subject to general economic risks and risks of continued inflation.***

Our operations could be affected by the economic context should the unemployment level, interest rates or inflation reach levels that influence consumer trends and spending and, consequently, impact our sales and profitability. A continued upward rate of inflation could influence the profits that we generate from our business. When the rate of inflation rises, the operational costs of running our company also increases, such as labor costs, raw materials and public utilities, thus affecting our ability to provide our products at competitive prices. An increase in the rate of inflation could force our customers to search for other products, causing us to lose business and revenue. As the number of available licenses increase in the markets in which we operate, additional competition and increased product availability may result in competitors undercutting our prices. From time to time, we may need to reduce our prices in response to competitive and customer pressures and to maintain our market share, which could materially reduce our revenues.

***We may be negatively impacted by challenging global economic conditions.*** 

Our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow may be negatively impacted by challenging global economic conditions. For example, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. and other world economies experienced turmoil, which resulted in global economic uncertainty, supply chain disruptions and other issues.

A global economic slowdown would cause disruptions and extreme volatility in global financial markets, increased rates of default and bankruptcy and declining consumer and business confidence, which can lead to decreased levels of consumer spending. These macroeconomic developments could negatively impact our business, which depends on the general economic environment and levels of consumer spending. As a result, we may not be able to maintain our existing customers or attract new customers, or we may be forced to reduce the price of our products. We are unable to predict the likelihood of the occurrence, duration or severity of such disruptions in the credit and financial markets or adverse global economic conditions. Any general or market-specific economic downturn could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.

------

Additionally, the U.S. has imposed and may impose additional quotas, duties, tariffs, retaliatory or trade protection measures or other restrictions or regulations and may adversely adjust prevailing quota, duty or tariff levels, which can affect both the materials that we use to package our products and the sale of finished products. For example, the tariffs imposed by the U.S. on materials from China are impacting materials that we import for use in packaging in the U.S. Measures to reduce the impact of tariff increases or trade restrictions, including geographical diversification of our sources of supply, adjustments in packaging design and fabrication or increased prices, could increase our costs, delay our time to market and/or decrease sales. General uncertainty about the state of tariffs for various markets and rapid changes in U.S. foreign trade policy can also create disruptions that impact the prices we must pay for these foreign products. Other governmental action related to tariffs or international trade agreements has the potential to adversely impact demand for our products and our costs, customers, suppliers and global economic conditions and cause higher volatility in financial markets. While we actively review existing and proposed measures to seek to assess the impact of them on our business, changes in tariff rates, import duties and other new or augmented trade restrictions could have a number of negative impacts on our business, including higher consumer prices and reduced demand for our products and higher input costs.

***We may be required to disclose personal information of our owners, investors, officers, managers, and directors to regulators and failure to do so could endanger our ability to expand, endanger our licenses, or cause the Company to incur costs to redeem securities held by uncooperative shareholders.***

Ownership in and applications for cannabis licenses can entail lengthy disclosures of personal information to the relevant regulatory authorities. The obligation often extends to all persons holding an ownership interest in the license, whether direct, indirect, present, or future, and often includes those with a mere nominal interest. Analogous disclosures are often required from persons with managerial authority or control over the licenses, as well, including officers, directors, and managers. Disclosures can include providing personal information needed to satisfy extensive criminal history reports and investigations (e.g., fingerprints, address and employment history), tax returns, social security numbers, a history of personal addresses, employment agreements, and other personal information. While some states allow exceptions for individuals with ownership in publicly traded companies like the Company, not all states provide such exceptions. If these requirements were applied to all persons with ownership in the Company, all such persons would be required to comply or the Company would risk losing the opportunity to apply for or renew the license(s), or similarly face the possibility that the license may be revoked.

***We are subject to risks arising from epidemic diseases.*** 

A public health epidemic, such as the COVID-19 pandemic that began in 2020, or the fear of a potential epidemic or pandemic, poses the risk that we or our employees, contractors, suppliers, and other partners may be prevented from conducting business activities for an indefinite period of time, including due to shutdowns or other preventative measures that may be requested or mandated by governmental authorities. Although our operations continued during the COVID-19 pandemic, as the cultivation, processing and sale of cannabis products was considered an essential business by all states in which we operated with respect to all customers when shutdowns were imposed, there can be no assurances that would be the case in any future actual or anticipated epidemic disease outbreak or pandemic. Our ability to continue to operate without any significant negative operational impact from any future public health crisis will in part depend on our ability to protect our employees, customers and supply chain.

While it is not possible at this time to estimate the impact any actual or potential pandemic could have on our business, measures taken by the governments of countries affected could disrupt the supply chain and the manufacture or shipment or sale of our products and adversely impact our business, financial condition or results of operations. It could also affect the health and availability of our workforce at our facilities, as well as those of our suppliers, particularly those in China and India. Such an event, and any measures taken to avert significant health crises may also have an adverse impact on global economic conditions which could have an adverse effect on our business and financial condition. Because cannabis remains federally illegal, it is possible that we would not be eligible to participate in any government relief programs (such as federal loans or access to capital) resulting from any actual or potential pandemic.

**Risks Related to Our Securities** 

***A return on our securities is not guaranteed.***

There is no guarantee that our Subordinate Voting Shares will earn any positive return in the short term or long term. A holding of Subordinate Voting Shares is speculative and involves a high degree of risk and should be undertaken only by holders whose financial resources are sufficient to enable them to assume such risks and who have no need for immediate liquidity in their investment. Holding of Subordinate Voting Shares is appropriate only for holders who have the capacity to absorb a loss of some or all of their holdings.

***We may be affected by currency fluctuations.*** 

We face exposure to significant currency fluctuations because of our present operations in the U.S. Recent events in the global financial markets have been coupled with increased volatility in the currency markets. All or substantially all of our revenue is earned in U.S. dollars, but our shares, and some of our warrants issued to holders of our notes are denominated in Canadian dollars which can provide variability for results of operations. We do not have currency hedging arrangements in place and there is no expectation that we will put any currency hedging arrangements in place in the future. Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Canadian dollar may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position or results of operations.

***Our voting control is concentrated.*** 

Our senior executives exercise a significant majority of the voting power with respect to our outstanding shares because of the Super Voting Shares that they hold. These officials include Benjamin Kovler, our Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Andrew Grossman, our Head of Capital Markets, and Anthony Georgiadis, our President. Subordinate Voting Shares are entitled to one vote per share, Multiple Voting Shares are entitled to 100 votes per share, and Super Voting Shares are entitled to 1,000 votes per share. As a result, Mr. Kovler, Mr. Grossman and Mr. Georgiadis potentially have the ability to control the outcome of matters submitted to our shareholders for approval, including the election and removal of directors and any arrangement or sale of all or substantially all of our assets.

This concentrated control could delay, defer or prevent a change of control, arrangement or merger involving sale of all or substantially all of our assets that our other shareholders may support. Conversely, this concentrated control could allow the holders of the Super Voting Shares to consummate such a transaction our other shareholders do not support. In addition, the holders of the Super Voting Shares may make long-term strategic investment decisions and take risks that may not be successful and/or may seriously harm our business.

***Our capital structure and voting control may cause unpredictability.*** 

Although other Canadian-based companies have dual class or multiple voting share structures, given our unique capital structure and the concentration of voting control that is held by the holders of the Super Voting Shares, this structure and control could result in greater fluctuations in the trading price of our Subordinate Voting Shares, adverse publicity to us or other adverse consequences.

***Additional issuances of Super Voting Shares, Multiple Voting Shares or Subordinate Voting Shares may result in dilution.*** 

We may issue additional equity or convertible debt securities in the future, which may dilute an existing shareholder's holdings. Our articles permit the issuance of an unlimited number of Super Voting Shares, Multiple Voting Shares and Subordinate Voting Shares, and existing shareholders will have no pre-emptive rights in connection with such further issuances. Our Board has discretion to determine the price and the terms of further issuances, and such terms could include rights, preferences and privileges superior to those existing holders of Subordinate Voting Shares. Moreover, additional Subordinate Voting Shares will be issued by us on the conversion of the Multiple Voting Shares and Super Voting Shares in accordance with their terms. To the extent holders of our options or other convertible securities convert or exercise their securities and sell Subordinate Voting Shares they receive, the trading price of the Subordinate Voting Shares may decrease due to the additional amount of Subordinate Voting Shares available in the market. We cannot predict the size or nature of future issuances or the effect that future issuances and sales of Subordinate Voting Shares will have on the market price of the Subordinate Voting Shares. Issuances of a substantial number of additional Subordinate Voting Shares, or the perception that such issuances could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices for the Subordinate Voting Shares. With any additional issuance of Subordinate Voting Shares, investors will suffer dilution to their voting power and economic interest in us.

------

 ***Sales of substantial amounts of Subordinate Voting Shares by our shareholders in the public market may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Subordinate Voting Shares.*** 

Sales of substantial amounts of Subordinate Voting Shares, or the availability of such securities for sale, could adversely affect the prevailing market prices for the Subordinate Voting Shares. A decline in the market prices of the Subordinate Voting Shares could impair our ability to raise additional capital through the sale of securities should we desire to do so.

***The market price for the Subordinate Voting Shares may be volatile.***

The market price for securities of cannabis companies generally are likely to be volatile. In addition, the market price for the Subordinate Voting Shares has been and may be subject to wide fluctuations in response to numerous factors beyond our control, including, but not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly results of operations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•recommendations by securities research analysts;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•changes in the economic performance or market valuations of companies in the industry in which we operate;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•addition or departure of our executive officers and other key personnel;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•release or expiration of transfer restrictions on outstanding Subordinate Voting Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•sales or perceived sales of additional Subordinate Voting Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•operating and financial performance that varies from the expectations of management, securities analysts and investors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•regulatory changes affecting our industry generally and our business and operations both domestically and abroad;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•announcements of developments and other material events by us or our competitors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•fluctuations in the costs of vital production materials and services;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•changes in global financial markets, global economies and general market conditions, such as interest rates and pharmaceutical product price volatility;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•significant acquisitions or business combinations, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by or involving us or our competitors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•operating and share price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to us or from a lack of market comparable companies; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•news reports relating to trends, concerns, technological or competitive developments, regulatory changes and other related issues in our industry or target markets.

Financial markets have at times historically experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that: (i) have particularly affected the market prices of equity securities of companies and (ii) have often been unrelated to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. Accordingly, the market price of the Subordinate Voting Shares from time to time may decline even if our operating results, underlying asset values or prospects have not changed. Additionally, these factors, as well as other related factors, may cause decreases in asset values that may result in impairment losses to us. There can be no assurance that further fluctuations in price and volume of equity securities will not occur. If increased levels of volatility and market turmoil continue, our operations could be adversely impacted, and the trading price of the Subordinate Voting Shares may be materially adversely affected.

***If securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports or publish misleading, inaccurate or unfavorable research about us, our business or our market, our stock price and trading volume could decline.***

The trading market for our Subordinate Voting Shares will be influenced by the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us, our business, our market or our competitors. If no or few securities or industry analysts cover our Corporation, the trading price and volume of our shares would likely be negatively impacted. If one or more of the analysts who covers us downgrades our shares or publishes inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, or provides more favorable relative recommendations about our competitors, our stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of us or fails to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our shares could decrease, which could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.

------

***We face liquidity risks.*** 

Our Subordinate Voting Shares currently trade on the CSE and on over-the-counter markets in the U.S. We cannot predict at what prices the Subordinate Voting Shares will continue to trade, and there is no assurance that an active trading market will be sustained.

Our Subordinate Voting Shares do not currently trade on any U.S. securities exchange. In the event our Subordinate Voting Shares do trade on any U.S. securities exchange, we cannot predict at what prices the Subordinate Voting Shares will trade and there is no assurance that an active trading market will develop or be sustained. There is a significant liquidity risk associated with an investment in us.

***We are subject to increased costs as a result of being a public company in Canada and the United States.*** 

As a public company in Canada and the United States, we are subject to the reporting requirements, rules and regulations under the applicable Canadian and American securities laws and rules of stock exchanges on which the Company's securities may be listed. The requirements of existing and potential future rules and regulations will increase our legal, accounting and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming or costly and may place undue strain on our personnel, systems and resources, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

***We face costs of maintaining a public listing.***

As a public company, there are costs associated with legal, accounting and other expenses related to regulatory compliance. Securities legislation and the rules and policies of the CSE require listed companies to, among other things, adopt corporate governance and related practices, and to continuously prepare and disclose material information, all of which add to a company's legal and financial compliance costs. We may also elect to devote greater resources than it otherwise would have on communication and other activities typically considered important by publicly traded companies.

***We do not intend to pay dividends on our Subordinate Voting Shares and, consequently, your ability to achieve a return on your investment will depend on appreciation in the price of our Subordinate Voting Shares.***

We have never declared or paid any cash dividend on our Subordinate Voting Shares and do not currently intend to do so in the foreseeable future. We currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings, if materialized, for the development, operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Therefore, the success of an investment in our Subordinate Voting Shares will depend upon any future appreciation in their value. There is no guarantee that our Subordinate Voting Shares will appreciate in value or even maintain the price at which you purchased them.

***The market for the Subordinate Voting Shares may be limited for holders of our securities who live in the United States.***

Given the heightened risk profile associated with cannabis in the United States, capital markets participants may be unwilling to assist with the settlement of trades for U.S. resident securityholders of companies with operations in the U.S. cannabis industry, which may prohibit or significantly impair the ability of securityholders in the United States to trade our securities. In the event residents of the United States are unable to settle trades of our securities, this may affect the pricing of such securities in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices and the liquidity of these securities.

**ITEM 1C. CYBERSECURITY**

**Cybersecurity Risk Management and Strategy**

The Company has processes for assessing, identifying, and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats. These processes are integrated into the Company's overall risk management systems. These processes also include overseeing and identifying risks from cybersecurity threats associated with the use of third-party service providers. The Company has established monitoring procedures in its effort to mitigate risks related to data breaches or other security incidents originating from third parties. The Company, from time-to-time, may engage third-party consultants, legal advisors, and audit firms to evaluate and test the Company's risk management systems and assess and remediate certain potential cybersecurity incidents, as appropriate.

**Governance** 

As part of our enterprise risk management program, our Board and the Audit Committee of our Board (the "Audit Committee") oversee cybersecurity risk management and meet with our senior management team, which includes our Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer, and General Counsel to address risks associated with cybersecurity threats on a regular basis. The Board and the Audit Committee receive prompt and timely information regarding any cybersecurity incident that meets established reporting thresholds, as well as ongoing updates regarding any such incident until it has been resolved.

Cybersecurity threats are one of the Company's most critical risks, with our Senior Vice President - Technology assigned as the executive risk owner. Our Senior Vice President - Technology, in coordination with our senior management team, works collaboratively across the Company to implement a program designed to protect the Company's information systems from cybersecurity threats and to promptly respond to any cybersecurity incidents in accordance with the Company's incident response and recovery plans. Multidisciplinary teams throughout the Company are deployed to address cybersecurity threats and to respond to cybersecurity incidents. Through ongoing communications with these teams, the Senior Vice President - Technology and the senior management team monitor the prevention, detection, mitigation and remediation of cybersecurity threats and incidents in real time and report such threats and incidents to the Board and Audit Committee, when appropriate.

Our Senior Vice President - Technology has served in various roles in information technology and information security for over 25 years. He holds undergraduate and graduate degrees in computer science and business.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, we did not identify any cybersecurity threats that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. However, despite the capabilities, processes, and other security measures we employ that we believe are designed to detect, reduce, and mitigate the risk of cybersecurity incidents, we may not be aware of all vulnerabilities or might not accurately assess the risks of incidents, and such preventative measures cannot provide absolute security and may not be sufficient in all circumstances or mitigate all potential risks.

See "Item 1 A. Risk Factors" for more information on the Company's cybersecurity-related risks.

2024 and 2023 and the accompanying notes for each respective period.

Financial information presented in this MD&A is presented in thousands of United States dollars ("$" or "US$"), unless otherwise indicated.

**OVERVIEW OF THE COMPANY** 

Established in 2014 and headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, Green Thumb, a national cannabis consumer packaged goods company and retailer promotes well-being through the power of cannabis while being committed to community and sustainable profitable growth. As of December 31, 2025, Green Thumb has operations in fourteen U.S. markets, employs approximately 5,000 people and serves millions of patients and customers annually.

Green Thumb's core business is manufacturing, distributing and marketing a portfolio of cannabis consumer packaged goods brands, including &Shine, Beboe, Dogwalkers, Doctor Solomon's, Good Green, incredibles and RYTHM (which we refer to as our Consumer Packaged Goods business). The Company distributes and markets these products to third-party licensed retail cannabis stores across the United States as well as to Green Thumb-owned retail stores (which we refer to as our Retail business). The Company developed and acquired its consumer packaged goods brands over the course of the Company's operating history and then, in transactions that closed on May 20, 2025 and August 27, 2026, the Company, through sales of the equity interests of indirectly owned subsidiaries, sold the intellectual property related to those brands to RYTHM, Inc (formerly known as Agrify Corporation, and referred to herein as "RYM"). In connection with this sale, the Company entered into licensing arrangements with RYM for the Company's continued, exclusive use of these brands for cannabis products in its existing markets. As of December 31, 2025, the Company owns approximately 33% of the outstanding shares of common stock of RYM.

The Company's Consumer Packaged Goods segment is primarily generated from plant material that Green Thumb grows and processes itself, which we use to produce our consumer packaged goods in twenty manufacturing facilities. This portfolio consists of cannabis product categories, including flower, pre-rolls, concentrates, vape, capsules, tinctures, edibles, topicals and other cannabis-related products across a range of stock keeping units ("SKUs") (none of which are individually material to the Company).

Green Thumb owns and operates a national cannabis retail chain called RISE Dispensaries that aims to bring patients and customers a variety of high-quality products at multiple price points and provide excellent service. In addition, Green Thumb owns or operates stores under other names, primarily where naming is subject to licensing or similar restrictions. The income from Green Thumb's retail stores is primarily derived from the sale of cannabis-related products, which includes the sale of Green Thumb produced products as well as those produced by third parties, with an immaterial (under 10%) portion of this income resulting from the sale of other merchandise (such as t-shirts and accessories for cannabis use). RISE Dispensaries are located in the fourteen states in which we operate. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had 113 open and operating retail locations. The Company's new store opening plans will remain fluid depending on market conditions, obtaining local licensing, construction and other permissions and subject to the Company's capital allocation plans as described above and under the heading "Liquidity, Financing Activities During the Period, and Capital Resources" below.

**Revenue Streams**

The Company has consolidated financial statements across its operating businesses with revenue from the manufacture, sale and distribution of branded cannabis products to third-party retail customers as well as the sale of finished products to consumers in its retail stores.

***Year Ended December 31, 2025 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2024***

*Revenues, Net of Discounts* 

Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $1,175,295 thousand, up 3% from $1,137,141 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in revenue was largely due to the launch of adult-use sales in Minnesota and Ohio which began on September 16, 2025 and August 6, 2024, respectively, as well as continued growth in existing markets, particularly in Florida, Maryland, Nevada and New York, and revenue generated from new Retail stores opened and acquired in the current period, partially offset by price compression and increased competition in select markets.

The Company generated revenue from 113 Retail locations during the year compared to 101 in the prior year. During the year ended December 31, 2025, Retail revenue made up 71% of total revenue compared to 73% of total revenue in 2024.

------

The key drivers for the increase in Consumer Packaged Goods revenue was the launch of adult-use sales in Minnesota and Ohio, as described above, as well as continued growth in existing markets, particularly in Maryland, Pennsylvania and New York, partially offset by price compression. During the year ended December 31, 2025, Consumer Packaged Goods revenue made up 29% of total revenue as compared to 27% of total revenue in 2024.

*Cost of Goods Sold*

Cost of goods sold are derived from Retail purchases made by the Company from its third-party licensed producers operating within our state markets and costs related to the internal cultivation and production of cannabis. Cost of goods sold for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $600,402 thousand, up 12% from $536,032 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2024, driven by continued growth in existing markets, particularly in Florida, Maryland, Nevada and New York, legalization of adult-use sales in Minnesota and Ohio as described above, and new and acquired Retail store openings since December 31, 2024. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company incurred licensing fees of $6,801 thousand in conjunction with its brand licensing agreements.

*Gross Profit* 

Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $574,893 thousand, representing a gross margin on the sale of branded cannabis flower and processed and packaged products including concentrates, edibles, topicals and other cannabis products, of 49%. This is compared to gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2024 of $601,109 thousand, or a 53% gross margin. The decrease in gross profit margin was primarily driven by price compression as well as the impact of the licensing fee described above.

*Total Expenses* 

Total expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025 were $437,193 thousand or 37% of revenues, net of discounts, resulting in an increase of $60,509 thousand compared to the prior year. Total expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024 were $376,684 thousand or 33% of revenues, net of discounts. The increase in total expenses was attributable to overall salary and benefits of corporate staff and increased costs associated with the opening, acquiring and operation of Retail stores as described above. In addition, expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024, included the impact of one-time favorable fair value adjustments of $15,991 thousand associated with the Company's contingent consideration arrangements.

**Drivers of Results of Operations** 

*Revenue* 

The Company derives its revenue from two revenue streams: a Retail business in which it sells finished goods sourced from third-party cannabis manufacturers in addition to the Company's own Consumer Packaged Goods business in which it manufactures, sells and distributes brands including &Shine, Beboe, Dogwalkers, Doctor Solomon's, Good Green incredibles, and RYTHM, primarily to third-party retail customers, as well as direct-to-consumer delivery where allowed by state law. Our consumer packaged goods are branded under intellectual property licensing arrangements from RYM following our sale of those brands to RYM in May and August 2025.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, revenue was contributed from Retail and Consumer Packaged Goods sales across California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Virginia.

*Gross Profit* 

Gross profit is revenue less cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold includes the costs directly attributable to product sales and includes amounts paid for finished goods, such as flower, edibles, and concentrates, as well as packaging and other supplies, fees for services and processing, and allocated overhead which includes allocations of rent, utilities and related costs. Cannabis costs are affected by various state regulations that limit the sourcing and procurement of cannabis product, which may create fluctuations in gross profit over comparative periods as the regulatory environment changes. Gross margin measures our gross profit as a percentage of revenue.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company continued to focus on creating sustainable, profitable growth of the Company's business while pursuing expansion. Green Thumb expects to continue its growth strategy for the foreseeable future as the Company expands its footprint within its current markets with acquisitions and partnerships, and scales resources into new markets.

*Total Expenses* 

Total expenses other than the cost of goods sold consist of selling costs to support customer relationships and marketing and branding activities. It also includes a significant investment in the corporate infrastructure required to support the Company's ongoing business.

Retail selling costs generally correlate to revenue. As new locations begin operations, these locations generally experience higher selling costs as a percentage of revenue compared to more established locations, which experience a more constant rate of selling costs. As a percentage of sales, the Company expects selling costs to remain constant in the more established locations and higher in the newer locations as the business continues to grow.

General and administrative expenses include costs incurred at the Company's corporate offices, primarily related to back office personnel costs, including salaries, incentive compensation, benefits, stock-based compensation and other professional service costs, and fair value adjustments on the Company's contingent consideration arrangements. The Company expects to continue to invest considerably in this area, in particular, incentive compensation expense is expected to continue to increase in order to support the business by attracting and retaining top-tier talent. General and administrative expenses also include professional fees associated with being a publicly traded company in Canada and registered with the SEC.

*Provision for Income Taxes* 

The Company is subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions in which it operates and, consequently, income tax expense is a function of the allocation of taxable income by jurisdiction and the various activities that impact the timing of taxable events. The U.S. Internal Revenue Service has taken the position that cannabis companies are subject to the limitations of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("IRC") Section 280E under which cannabis companies are only allowed to deduct expenses directly related to sales of product. This results in permanent differences between ordinary and necessary business expenses deemed non-allowable under IRC Section 280E. Therefore, the effective tax rate can be highly variable and may not necessarily correlate with pre-tax income and provides for effective tax rates that are well in excess of statutory tax rates.

The Company generates cash from its operations and deploys its capital reserves to acquire and develop assets capable of producing additional revenues and earnings over both the immediate and near term. Capital reserves are primarily being utilized for capital expenditures, facility improvements, strategic investment opportunities, product research, design, development and marketing, as well as customer, supplier and investor and industry relations.

***(a) Claims and Litigation*** 

From time to time, the Company may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of operations in the normal course of business. The following is an update to the status of previously disclosed matters as of December 31, 2025:

In July 2024, the Company received Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law regarding an October 30, 2019 complaint filed against the Company alleging the Company breached a commercial property lease with ineffective termination. On June 25, 2025, the Company received the Final Judgment from the court ruling in favor of plaintiff landlord in the amount of $7,307 thousand, representing unpaid rent. In addition, the court found the Company liable for interest and attorney fees in the amount of $912 thousand. As a result, the Company accrued the amount of probable loss that can reasonably be estimated within accrued liabilities on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

In August 2025, the Company appealed the Final Judgment with a Notice of Appeal. Under the Rules of Court, the Company was provided a stay on the enforcement of the Final Judgment upon posting a supersedeas bond in the amount of the Final Judgment plus interest and costs through the appeal period. As of December 31, 2025, the Company held the bond in the amount of $9,284 thousand within restricted cash and cash equivalents on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

At December 31, 2025 and 2024, other than as discussed above, there were no pending or threatened lawsuits considered probable or reasonably possible to result in an unfavorable outcome with an exposure expected to merit disclosure. There are also no proceedings in which any of the Company's directors, officers or affiliates is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to the Company's interest.

**Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements** 

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company does not have any off-balance-sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on the results of operations or financial condition of the Company, including, and without limitation, such considerations as liquidity and capital resources.

**Changes in or Adoption of Accounting Practices** 

See discussion under Part II, Item 8, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies.

------

**CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES**

The preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and revenue and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Significant judgments, estimates and assumptions that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements are described below.

*Estimated Useful Lives and Amortization of Intangible Assets*

Amortization of intangible assets is recorded on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which do not exceed the contractual period, if any. Intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they may be impaired.

*Business Combinations*

Classification of an acquisition as a business combination or an asset acquisition depends on whether the assets acquired constitute a business, which can be a complex judgment. Whether an acquisition is classified as a business combination or asset acquisition can have a significant impact on the entries made on and after acquisition.

In determining the fair value of all identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired, the most significant estimates relate to contingent consideration and intangible assets. Management exercises judgment in estimating the probability and timing of when earn-outs are expected to be achieved, which is used as the basis for estimating fair value. For any intangible asset identified, depending on the type of intangible asset and the complexity of determining its fair value, an independent valuation expert or management may develop the fair value, using appropriate valuation techniques, which are generally based on a forecast of the total expected future net cash flows.

Cannabis licenses are the primary intangible asset acquired in business combinations as they provide the Company the ability to operate in each market. However, some cannabis licenses are subject to renewal and therefore there is some risk of non-renewal for several reasons, including operational, regulatory, legal or economic. To appropriately consider the risk of non-renewal, the Company applies probability weighting to the expected future net cash flows in calculating the fair value of these intangible assets. The key assumptions used in these cash flow projections include discount rates and terminal growth rates. Of the key assumptions used, the impact of the estimated fair value of the intangible assets have the greatest sensitivity to the estimated discount rate used in the valuation. Other significant assumptions include revenue, gross profit, operating expenses and anticipated capital expenditures which are based upon the Corporation's historical operations along with management projections.

The evaluations are linked closely to the assumptions made by management regarding the future performance of these assets and any changes in the discount rate applied.

*Inventories*

The net realizable value of inventories represents the estimated selling price for inventories in the ordinary course of business, less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. The determination of net realizable value requires significant judgment, including consideration of factors such as shrinkage, the aging of and future demand for inventory, expected future selling price the Company expects to realize by selling the inventory and the contractual arrangements with customers. Reserves for excess and obsolete inventory are based upon quantities on hand, projected volumes from demand forecasts and net realizable value. The estimates are judgmental in nature and are made at a point in time, using available information, expected business plans and expected market conditions. As a result, the actual amount received on sale could differ from the estimated value of inventory. Periodic reviews are performed on the inventory balance. The impact of changes in inventory reserves is reflected in cost of goods sold.

*Investments in Private Holdings*

Investments include private company investments which are carried at fair value based on the value of the Company's interests in the private companies determined from financial information provided by management of the companies, which may

------

include operating results, subsequent rounds of financing and other appropriate information. Any change in fair value is recognized on the consolidated statements of operations.

*Goodwill Impairment*

The Company applies the guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") *Accounting Standards Update,* ("*ASU*") *2011-08 Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Testing Goodwill for Impairment*, which provides entities with an option to perform a qualitative assessment (commonly referred to as "Step 0") to determine whether further quantitative analysis for impairment of goodwill is necessary. In performing Step 0 for the Company's goodwill impairment test, the Company is required to make assumptions and judgments including but not limited to the following: the evaluation of macroeconomic conditions as related to the Company's business, industry and market trends, and the overall future financial performance of its reporting units and future opportunities in the markets in which they operate. If impairment indicators are present after performing Step 0, the Company would perform a Step 1 quantitative impairment analysis to estimate the fair value of goodwill.

Step 1 of the quantitative test requires comparison of the fair value of each of the reporting units to the respective carrying value. If the carrying value of the reporting unit is less than the fair value, no impairment exists. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the estimated fair value, an impairment loss is recognized by such amount. In performing Step 1, the Company is required to make various estimates and assumptions for each reporting unit, including, but not limited to projected future operating results, anticipated future cash flows, discount rates and the allocation of shared or corporate costs.

*Determination of Reporting Units*

The Company's assets are aggregated into two reportable segments (Retail and Consumer Packaged Goods). Management evaluated its reporting units under the accounting guidance provided in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") *280 Segment Reporting,* and determined that the individual components within each respective reportable segment were economically similar and thus, aggregation of those components into two reporting units that align with our reportable segments, was applied.

*Consolidation*

Judgment is applied in assessing whether the Company exercises control and has significant influence over entities in which the Company directly or indirectly owns an interest. The Company has control when it has the power over the subsidiary, has exposure or rights to variable returns and has the ability to use its power to affect the returns. Significant influence is defined as the power to participate in the financial and operating decisions of the subsidiaries. Where the Company is determined to have control, these entities are consolidated. Additionally, judgment is applied in determining the effective date on which control was obtained.

*Allowance for Credit Losses*

Management records its accounts receivable net of the allowance for credit losses. Management determines the allowance for credit losses by evaluating the age of receivable balances which may become past-due based on the contractual terms extended to our customers. We consider actual payment patterns and circumstances of our customers such as their economic status and state-specific market conditions. This methodology takes into account historical loss experience and current and forecasted cash flows. Our accounts receivable are considered short-term and thus effective interest has not been applied to the balance.

*Stock-Based Payments*

Valuation of stock-based compensation and warrants requires management to make estimates regarding the inputs for option pricing models, such as the expected life of the option, the volatility of the Company's stock price, the vesting period of the option and the risk-free interest rate are used. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The estimates are considered for each new grant of stock options or warrants.

*Fair Value of Financial Instruments*

The individual fair values attributed to the different components of a financing transaction, derivative financial instruments, are determined using valuation techniques. The Company uses judgment to select the methods used to make certain assumptions and in performing the fair value calculations in order to determine (a) the values attributed to each component of a transaction at the time of their issuance; (b) the fair value measurements for certain instruments that require subsequent measurement at fair value on a recurring basis; and (c) for disclosing the fair value of financial instruments. These valuation estimates could be significantly different because of the use of judgment and the inherent uncertainty in estimating the fair value of these instruments that are not quoted in an active market.

------

**Financial Instruments and Financial Risk Management**

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, investments, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, notes payable, warrant liability and contingent consideration payable.

Financial instruments recorded at fair value are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs to fair value measurements. The three levels of hierarchy are:

*Level 1*—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

*Level 2*—Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

*Level 3*—Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

## ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

## Financial Risk Management
The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board mitigates these risks by assessing, monitoring and approving the Company's risk management processes.

<u>Credit Risk</u>

Credit risk is the risk of a potential loss to the Company if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company does not have significant credit risk with respect to its customers.

The Company provides credit to its customers in the normal course of business. The Company has established credit evaluation and monitoring processes to mitigate credit risk but has limited risk as the majority of its sales are paid at the time of sale.

<u>Liquidity Risk</u>

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company manages liquidity risk through the effective management of its capital structure. The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity at all times to settle obligations and liabilities when due.

<u>Market Risk</u>

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign exchange, raw material and other commodity prices.

*Interest Rate Risk*. Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Cash and cash equivalents bear interest at market rates. The Company's notes payable bear interest at fixed and variable-rates allowing the Company to manage interest rate exposure.

*Commodities Price Risk*. Commodities Price risk is the risk of variability in fair value due to movements in equity or market prices. The primary raw materials used by the Company aside from those cultivated internally are labels and packaging. Management believes a hypothetical 10% change in the price of these materials would not have a significant effect on the Company's consolidated annual results of operations or cash flows, as these costs are generally passed through to its customers. However, such an increase could have an impact on our customers' demand for our products, and we are not able to quantify the impact of such potential change in demand on our combined annual results of operations or cash flows.

**ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES**

***Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures*** 

The Company maintains "disclosure controls and procedures" as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. Management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(b) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2025. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2025, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of such date.

***Management's Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting*** 

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria established in "Internal Control - Integrated Framework" (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO"). Based on its assessment, management believes that, as of December 31, 2025, our internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.

Our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives as specified above. Management does not expect, however, that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and fraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.

The effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, has been audited by our independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their attestation report which is included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

***Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting***

During the last fiscal quarter of the period covered by this report, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, such controls.

**ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION**

**2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(a)** **Basis of Preparation and Statement of Compliance**

The consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 (the "Consolidated Financial Statements"), have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").

During the preparation of the December 31, 2025 consolidated financial statements, the Company became aware of an error in relation to the application of useful lives of its leasehold improvements. The Company in certain instances used useful lives for its leasehold improvements that were greater than the remaining term of the associated lease. The error was corrected with a cumulative catch-up adjustment to increase cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses in the amount of $15,906 thousand and $9,799 thousand, respectively and a corresponding reduction to property and equipment, net of $25,705 thousand along with a reduction in income tax expense and deferred tax liability of $5,163 thousand in the December 31, 2025 consolidated financial statements. This correction in the current period resulted in an overstatement of cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses of $10,974 thousand and $4,994 thousand, respectively along with an understatement of income tax expense of $3,435 thousand for the portion of the correction that pertains to prior periods. The error was not considered material to the current period or any prior period, including the Company's quarterly unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified between line items to conform to the current period presentation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(b)** **Basis of Measurement**

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, under the historical cost convention, except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair value as described herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(c)** **Functional and Presentation Currency**

The Company's functional currency, as determined by management, is the United States ("U.S.") dollar. These consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(d)** **Basis of Consolidation**

The consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, its partially-owned subsidiaries, and those controlled by the Company by virtue of agreements, on a consolidated basis after elimination of intercompany transactions and balances.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(d) Basis of Consolidation** (Continued)

Control exists when the Company has power over an investee, when the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from the investee, and when the Company has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. The financial statements of entities controlled by the Company by virtue of agreements are fully consolidated from the date that control commences and deconsolidated from the date control ceases.

The following are the Company's significant wholly owned subsidiaries that are included in these consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023:

*(Amounts Expressed in Thousands of United States Dollars, Except Where Stated Otherwise)*

**2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES** *(Continued)*

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(e)** **Investment in Associates**

Associates are all entities over which the Company has significant influence but not control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method and are initially recognized at cost. Accounting policies of associates have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Company.

The Company assesses annually whether there is any objective evidence that its interest in associates is impaired. If impaired, the carrying value of the Company's share of the underlying assets of associates is written down to its estimated recoverable amount (being the higher of fair value less costs of disposal or value in use) and charged to the consolidated statements of operations. If the financial statements of an associate are prepared on a date different from that used by the Company, adjustments are made for the effects of significant transactions or events that occur between that date and the date of these consolidated financial statements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(f)** **Non-controlling Interests**

Non-controlling interests ("NCI") represent equity interests owned by outside parties. NCI may be initially measured at fair value or at the NCI's proportionate share of the recognized amounts of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. The choice of measurement is made on a transaction by transaction basis. Green Thumb elected to measure each NCI at its proportionate share of the recognized amounts of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. The share of net assets attributable to NCI are presented as a component of equity. Their share of net income or loss and comprehensive income or loss is recognized directly in equity. Total comprehensive income or loss of subsidiaries is attributed to the shareholders of the Company and to the NCI, even if this results in the NCI having a deficit balance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(g)** **Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash and Restricted Cash Equivalents**

Cash and cash equivalents include cash deposits in financial institutions, other deposits that are readily convertible into cash, with original maturities of three months or less, and cash held at retail locations.

Restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents represent deposits which meet the definition of cash and cash equivalents but are legally or contractually restricted regarding withdrawal or usage. Such restrictions primarily relate to amounts pledged as collateral in connection with ongoing litigation as well as cash held in escrow in connection with acquisitions or for other specified purposes. The classification of restricted cash as current or noncurrent is based upon the expected duration of the restriction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(h)** **Accounts and Notes Receivable**

Accounts receivable are recorded net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company estimates the allowance for doubtful accounts based on existing contractual payment terms, actual payment patterns of its customers and individual customer circumstances. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 the Company recorded approximately $4,649 thousand and $4,484 thousand, respectively, in allowance for doubtful accounts. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded bad debt expense of $450 thousand, $3,088 thousand and $729 thousand, respectively.

Notes receivable are initially recorded at their fair value, which generally reflects the face value of the instrument. Notes receivable are subsequently carried at amortized cost minus impairment. Allowance for the uncollectibility of notes receivable is evaluated individually based on specific credit risk characteristics, including the borrower's financial condition, collateral and payment history.

**2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES** *(Continued)*

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(i)** **Inventories**

Inventories of purchased finished goods and packing materials are initially valued at cost and subsequently at the lower of cost and net realizable value.

Costs incurred during the growing and production process are capitalized as incurred to the extent that cost is less than net realizable value. These costs include materials, labor and manufacturing overhead used in the growing and production processes.

Net realizable value is determined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Cost is determined using the weighted average cost basis. Products for resale and supplies and consumables are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. The Company reviews inventory for obsolete, redundant and slow-moving goods and any such inventories are written down to net realizable value.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(j)** **Property and Equipment**

Property and equipment are stated at cost, including capitalized borrowing costs, net of accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Expenditures that materially increase the life of the assets are capitalized. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset using the following terms and methods:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Land | Not Depreciated |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Land Improvements | 10 – 30 Years |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Buildings and Improvements | 39 Years |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Furniture and Fixtures | 5 – 7 Years |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Computer Equipment and Software | 5 Years |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Leasehold Improvements | Lesser of Usefule Life or Remaining Lease Term |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Production and Processing Equipment | 5 – 7 Years |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Assets Under Construction | Not Depreciated |

---

The assets' residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation are reviewed at each financial year-end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate. An item of equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use. Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying value of the asset) is included in operations in the year the asset is derecognized.

The Company evaluates the recoverability of other long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment, and certain identifiable intangible assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset group may not be recoverable. The Company performs impairment tests of indefinite-lived intangible assets on an annual basis or more frequently in certain circumstances. Factors which could trigger an impairment review include significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the manner of use of the assets or the strategy for the overall business, a significant decrease in the market value of the assets or significant negative industry or economic trends. When the Company determines that the carrying value of long-lived assets may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the indicators, the asset group is assessed for impairment based on the estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset group and its eventual disposition. If the carrying value of an asset group exceeds its estimated future undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recorded for the excess of the asset group's carrying value over its fair value. During the year ended December 31, 2025 the Company recorded no impairment charges. During the years ended 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded impairment charges of $450 thousand and $5,467 thousand, respectively, within selling, general, and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations.

**2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES** *(Continued)*

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(k)** **Investments**

Notes receivable instruments and investments in equity of private companies represent financial assets without readily determinable fair values. The Company measures such investments at cost minus impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer. Subsequent changes in fair value are recognized in profit or loss. The Company performs an assessment on a quarterly basis to determine whether triggering events for impairment exist.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(l)** **Intangible Assets**

Intangible assets are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are measured at fair value at the acquisition date. Amortization periods of assets with finite lives are based on management's estimates at the date of acquisition and were as follows for each class of intangible asset as of December 31, 2025:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Licenses and Permits | 15 years |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Tradenames | 5-15 years |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Customer Relationships | 7 years |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Non-competition Agreement | 5 years |

---

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives, residual values and amortization methods are reviewed at each year end, and any changes in estimates are accounted for prospectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(m)** **Goodwill**

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price paid for the acquisition of an entity over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is either assigned to a specific reporting unit or allocated between reporting units based on the relative fair value of each reporting unit.

Goodwill is not subject to amortization and is tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. The Company reviews indefinite-lived intangible assets, which includes goodwill, annually, as of October 1, for impairment or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. An impaired asset is written down to its estimated fair value based on the most recent information available.

For the annual goodwill impairment review, the Company has the option to perform a qualitative test ("Step 0") or a quantitative test ("Step 1"). Under the Step 0 test, the Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If after assessing these qualitative factors, the Company determines it is not "more-likely-than-not" that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value, then the Step 1 quantitative test is not required.

Step 1 of the quantitative test requires comparison of the fair value of each of the reporting units to the respective carrying value. If the carrying value of the reporting unit is less than the fair value, no impairment exists. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the estimated fair value, an impairment loss is recognized by such amount.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company performed a Step 1 test. The analysis included estimating the fair value of each reporting unit using an income and market approach. The income approach required management to estimate a number of factors for each reporting unit, including projected future operating results, anticipated future cash flows, discount rates, the allocation of shared or corporate costs and income taxes. The market approach estimated fair value using comparable marketplace fair value data from within a comparable industry grouping.

As a result of the Company's Step 1 test, the estimated fair values of the reporting units exceeded their carrying values. Consequently, no impairment charges were recorded for the year ended December 31, 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(m) Goodwill** (Continued)

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company performed a Step 0 test. As a result, no further quantitative impairment test was deemed necessary and no impairment charges were recorded as of the period then ended.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(n)** **Income Taxes**

Deferred taxes are provided using an asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted taxes rates. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax law or tax rates is recognized in income in the period that enactment occurs. The U.S. Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") has taken the position that cannabis companies are subject to the limitations of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("IRC") Section 280E under which cannabis companies are only allowed to deduct expenses directly related to sales of product.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(o)** **Revenue Recognition**

Revenue is recognized by the Company in accordance with *ASC 606*, *Revenue from Contracts with Customers.* Through application of the standard, the Company recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

In order to recognize revenue under *ASC 606*, the Company applies the following five (5) steps:

• Identify a customer along with a corresponding contract;

• Identify the performance obligation(s) in the contract to transfer goods or provide distinct services to a customer;

• Determine the transaction price the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer;

• Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation(s) in the contract; and

• Recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies the performance obligation(s).

Revenues consist of Consumer Packaged Goods and Retail sales of cannabis, which are generally recognized at a point in time when control over the goods have been transferred to the customer and is recorded net of sales discounts. Payment is typically due upon transferring the goods to the customer or within a specified time period permitted under the Company's credit policy. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, sales discounts totaled $323,790 thousand, $267,298 thousand and $232,031 thousand, respectively.

Revenue is recognized upon the satisfaction of the performance obligation. The Company satisfies its performance obligation and transfers control upon delivery and acceptance by the customer.

At some locations, the Company offers a loyalty reward program to its retail customers. A portion of the revenue generated in a sale must be allocated to the loyalty points earned. The amount allocated to the points earned is deferred until the loyalty points are redeemed or expire. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the loyalty liability totaled $3,963 thousand and $5,149 thousand, respectively, and is included in accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

**2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES** *(Continued)*

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(p)** **Stock-Based Payments**

The Company operates equity settled stock-based remuneration plans for its eligible directors, officers, employees and consultants. All goods and services received in exchange for the grant of any stock-based payments are measured at their fair value unless the fair value cannot be estimated reliably. If the Company cannot estimate reliably the fair value of the goods and services received, the Company shall measure their value indirectly by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted. For transactions with employees and others providing similar services, the Company measures the fair value of the services by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted.

Equity settled stock-based payments under stock-based payments plans are ultimately recognized as an expense in profit or loss with a corresponding credit to contributed surplus, in equity.

The Company recognizes compensation expense for Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") and options on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. Non-market vesting conditions are included in the assumptions about the number of options that are expected to become exercisable. Estimates are subsequently revised if there is any indication that the number of options expected to vest differs from the previous estimate. Any cumulative adjustment prior to vesting is recognized in the current period. No adjustment is made to any expense recognized in a prior period if share options ultimately exercised are different to that estimated on vesting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(q)** **Fair Value of Financial Instruments**

The Company applies fair value accounting for all financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities that are required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers all related factors of the asset by market participants in which the Company would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and credit risk.

The Company applies the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels, and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:

*Level 1*—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

*Level 2*—Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

*Level 3*—Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

For further details, see Note 14—Fair Value Measurements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(r)** **Commitments and Contingencies**

The Company is subject to lawsuits, investigations and other claims related to employment, commercial and other matters that arise out of operations in the normal course of business. Periodically, the Company reviews the status of each significant matter and assesses the potential financial exposure. If the potential loss from any claim or legal proceeding is considered probable, and the amount can be reliably estimated, such amount is recognized in other liabilities.

Contingent liabilities are measured at management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period and are discounted to present value where the effect is material. The Company performs evaluations to identify onerous contracts and, where applicable, records contingent liabilities for such contracts.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(s)** **Share Capital**

Common Shares are classified as equity (the Company's Super Voting Shares, Multiple Voting Shares and Subordinate Voting Shares are all considered Common Shares). Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of shares are recognized as a deduction from equity. The proceeds from the exercise of stock options or warrants together with amounts previously recorded in reserves over the vesting periods are recorded as share capital. Income tax relating to transaction costs of an equity transaction is accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") *740, Income Taxes*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(t)** **Earnings per Share**

Basic earnings per share is calculated using the treasury stock method, by dividing the net earnings attributable to shareholders by the weighted average number of Common Shares outstanding during each of the periods presented. Contingently issuable shares (including shares held in escrow) are not considered outstanding Common Shares and consequently are not included in the basic earnings per share calculation. Diluted earnings per share is calculated using the treasury stock method by adjusting the weighted average number of Common Shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential Common Shares. The Company has three categories of potentially dilutive Common Share equivalents: RSUs, options and warrants. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had 7,692,764 options, 9,518,293 RSUs and 1,702,347 warrants outstanding. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had 8,238,472 options, 7,678,310 RSUs and 1,811,075 warrants outstanding. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had 10,071,467 options, 3,620,638 RSUs and 3,734,555 warrants outstanding.

In order to determine diluted earnings per share, it is assumed that any proceeds from the exercise of dilutive unvested RSUs, options, and warrants would be used to repurchase Common Shares at the average market price during the period. Under the treasury stock method, the diluted earnings per share calculation excludes any potential conversion of options and convertible debt that would increase earnings per share or decrease loss per share. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the computation of diluted earnings per share included 3,009,143 RSUs. There were no dilutive options or warrants included in the December 31, 2025 computation of diluted earnings per share, as the relevant strike prices were greater than the average stock price for the period. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the computation of diluted earnings per share included 895,518 options, 4,189,705 RSUs and 12,960 warrants. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the computation of diluted earnings per share included 220,325 options and 1,679,198 RSUs. There were no dilutive warrants included in the December 31, 2023 computation of diluted earnings per share.

For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 the weighted average number of anti-dilutive options excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share were 1,145,439; 970,606; and 2,477,120, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(u)** **Business Combinations**

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value at the date of acquisition. Acquisition related transaction costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets and liabilities, including intangible assets, of acquired businesses are recorded at their fair value at the date of acquisition. When the Company acquires control of a business, any previously held equity interest also is remeasured to fair value. The excess of the purchase consideration and any previously held equity interest over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired is goodwill. If the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired exceeds the purchase consideration and any previously held equity interest, the difference is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations immediately as a gain or loss on acquisition.

Contingent consideration is measured upon acquisition and is estimated using probability weighting of potential payouts. Contingent consideration classified as a liability requires remeasurement at each period-end, with adjustments to the fair value of the liability recorded within selling, general, and administrative expenses. Equity classified contingent consideration is measured as of the date of acquisition and assessed at each period-end to determine whether equity classification remains appropriate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(v)** **Impairment of Other Long-Lived Assets**

The Company evaluates the recoverability of other long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment, and certain identifiable intangible assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. The Company performs impairment tests of indefinite-lived intangible assets on an annual basis or more frequently in certain circumstances. Factors which could trigger an impairment review include significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the manner of use of the assets or the strategy for the overall business, a significant decrease in the market value of the assets or significant negative industry or economic trends.

When the Company determines that the carrying value of long-lived assets may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the indicators, the asset group is assessed for impairment based on the estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset group and its eventual disposition. If the carrying value of an asset group exceeds its estimated future undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recorded for the excess of the asset group's carrying value over its fair value.

During the year ended December 31, 2025 the Company recorded no impairment charges associated with long-lived fixed assets. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 the Company recorded impairment charges of $450 thousand and $1,419 thousand, respectively, within selling, general, and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(w)** **Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions**

The preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and revenue and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Significant judgments, estimates and assumptions that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements are described below.

*(i)* *Estimated Useful Lives and Amortization of Intangible Assets (Also see Note 5* — *Intangible Asset and Goodwill)* 

Amortization of intangible assets is recorded on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which do not exceed the contractual period, if any.

*(ii)* *Business Combinations* 

Classification of an acquisition as a business combination or an asset acquisition depends on whether the assets acquired constitute a business, which can be a complex judgment. Whether an acquisition is classified as a business combination or asset acquisition can have a significant impact on the entries made on and after acquisition.

In determining the fair value of all identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired, the most significant estimates relate to contingent consideration and intangible assets. Management exercises judgment in estimating the probability and timing of when earn-outs are expected to be achieved, which is used as the basis for estimating fair value. For any intangible asset identified, depending on the type of intangible asset and the complexity of determining its fair value, an independent valuation expert or management may develop the fair value, using appropriate valuation techniques, which are generally based on a forecast of the total expected future net cash flows.

Cannabis licenses are the primary intangible asset acquired in business combinations as they provide the Company the ability to operate in each market. However, some cannabis licenses are subject to renewal and therefore there is some risk of non-renewal for several reasons, including operational, regulatory, legal or economic. To appropriately consider the risk of non-renewal, the

**2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES** *(Continued)*

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(w)** **Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions** (Continued)

Company applies probability weighting to the expected future net cash flows in calculating the fair value of these intangible assets. The key assumptions used in these cash flow projections include discount rates and terminal growth rates.

Of the key assumptions used, the impact of the estimated fair value of the intangible assets have the greatest sensitivity to the estimated discount rate used in the valuation. Other significant assumptions include revenue, gross profit, operating expenses and anticipated capital expenditures which are based upon the Corporation's historical operations along with management projections.

The evaluations are linked closely to the assumptions made by management regarding the future performance of these assets and any changes in the discount rate applied.

*(iii)* *Inventories* 

The net realizable value of inventories represents the estimated selling price for inventories in the ordinary course of business, less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. The determination of net realizable value requires significant judgment, including consideration of factors such as shrinkage, the aging of and future demand for inventory, expected future selling price the Company expects to realize by selling the inventory, and the contractual arrangements with customers. Reserves for excess and obsolete inventory are based upon quantities on hand, projected volumes from demand forecasts and net realizable value. The estimates are judgmental in nature and are made at a point in time, using available information, expected business plans, and expected market conditions. As a result, the actual amount received on sale could differ from the estimated value of inventory. Periodic reviews are performed on the inventory balance. The impact of changes in inventory reserves is reflected in cost of goods sold.

*(iv)* *Investments in Private Holdings* 

Investments include private company investments which are carried at fair value based on the value of the Company's interests in the private companies determined from financial information provided by management of the companies, which may include operating results, subsequent rounds of financing and other appropriate information. Any change in fair value is recognized on the consolidated statements of operations.

*(v)* *Goodwill Impairment* 

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill has been impaired.

For the annual goodwill impairment review, the Company has the option to perform a qualitative test ("Step 0") or a quantitative test ("Step 1"). Under the Step 0 test, the Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If after assessing these qualitative factors, the Company determines it is not "more-likely-than-not" that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value, then the Step 1 quantitative test is not required.

Step 1 of the quantitative test requires comparison of the fair value of each of the reporting units to the respective carrying value. If the carrying value of the reporting unit is less than the fair value, no impairment exists. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the estimated fair value, an impairment loss is recognized by such amount.

In performing either test, the Company is required to make assumptions and judgments including but not limited to the following: the evaluation of macroeconomic conditions as related to the Company's business, industry and market trends, and the overall future financial performance of its reporting units and future opportunities in the markets in which they operate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(w)** **Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions** (Continued)

*(v)* *Goodwill Impairment (Continued)* 

During the year ended December 31, 2025 , the Company performed a Step 1 goodwill impairment test and determined the estimated fair values of the reporting units exceeded their carrying values as of such date. Consequently, no impairment charge was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2025.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company performed a Step 0 test. As a result, no further quantitative impairment test was deemed necessary and no impairment charges were recorded as of the period then ended.

*(vi)* *Determination of Reporting Units* 

The Company evaluated its reporting units in accordance with ASC 280*, Segment Reporting* and determined that the individual components within each respective reportable segment were economically similar and thus, aggregation of those components into two reporting units (Retail and Consumer Packaged Goods) that align with our reportable segments, was applied.

*(vii)* *Consolidation* 

Judgment is applied in assessing whether the Company exercises control and has significant influence over entities in which the Company directly or indirectly owns an interest. The Company has control when it has the power over the subsidiary, has exposure or rights to variable returns, and has the ability to use its power to affect the returns. Significant influence is defined as the power to participate in the financial and operating decisions of the subsidiaries. Where the Company is determined to have control, these entities are consolidated. Additionally, judgment is applied in determining the effective date on which control was obtained.

*(viii)* Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts

Management records its accounts receivable net of the allowance for credit losses. Management determines the allowance for credit losses by evaluating the age of receivable balances which may become past-due based on the contractual terms extended to our customers. We consider actual payment patterns and circumstances of our customers such as their economic status and state-specific market conditions. This methodology takes into account historical loss experience and current and forecasted cash flows. Our accounts receivable are considered short-term and thus effective interest has not been applied to the balance.

*(ix)* *Stock-Based Payments* 

Valuation of stock-based compensation and warrants requires management to make estimates regarding the inputs for option pricing models, such as the expected life of the option, the volatility of the Company's stock price, the vesting period of the option and the risk-free interest rate are used. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The estimates are considered for each new grant of stock options or warrants.

*(x)* *Fair Value of Financial Instruments* 

The individual fair values attributed to the different components of a financing transaction or derivative financial instruments, are determined using valuation techniques. The Company uses judgment to select the methods used to make certain assumptions and in performing the fair value calculations in order to determine (a) the values attributed to each component of a transaction at the time of their issuance; (b) the fair value measurements for certain instruments that require subsequent measurement at fair value on a recurring basis; and (c) for disclosing the fair value of financial instruments. These valuation estimates could be significantly different because of the use of judgment and the inherent uncertainty in estimating the fair value of these instruments that are not quoted in an active market.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(x)** **New and Revised Standards**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued *ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses*. This ASU requires an entity to disclose the amounts of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization included in each relevant expense caption. It also requires an entity to include certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under current GAAP in the same disclosure. Additionally, it requires an entity to disclose a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively, and to disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity's definition of selling expenses. The amendments in the ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. An entity may apply the amendments prospectively for reporting periods after the effective date or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

(ii)In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which is intended to provide enhancements to annual income tax disclosures. The standard will require more detailed information in the rate reconciliation table and for income taxes paid, among other enhancements. The standard is effective for years beginning after December 15, 2024 and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

**5. INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(a) Intangible Assets*** 

Intangible assets are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are measured at fair value at the acquisition date. Amortization of definite life intangibles is provided on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives, residual values, and amortization methods are reviewed at each year end, and any changes in estimates are accounted for prospectively.

At December 31, 2025 and 2024, intangible assets consisted of the following:

The Company recorded amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 of $49,909 thousand, $50,391 thousand and $50,841 thousand, respectively.

One June 11, 2025, the Company acquired a permit intangible, allowing the Company to operate three retail dispensaries. The consideration paid was $10,500 thousand in cash. As substantially all of the assets acquired were concentrated in the permit intangible, the Company accounted for the transaction as an asset acquisition. The weighted average amortization period for the permit intangible was 15 years. Acquisition-related costs associated with the transaction were not material.

During 2025, Green Thumb sold its intellectual property rights to RYM, a related party, in brands including RYTHM, incredibles, Beboe, Dogwalkers, Doctor Solomon's, &Shine and Good Green. As a result of those transactions, the Company divested $24,119 thousand in trademarks, net associated with those brands. See Note 15 - Related Party Transactions with Affiliated Entities for additional details.

Intangible assets are carried net of accumulated impairment losses of $31,131 thousand as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. No impairment charges were recognized by the Company during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.

The following table outlines the estimated annual amortization expense related to intangible assets as of December 31, 2025:

**7. ACQUISITIONS**

**(a) Business Combinations:**

The Company determined that the below described acquisitions are business combinations under ASC 805, *Business Combinations.* They were accounted for by applying the acquisition method whereby the assets acquired, and the liabilities assumed were recorded at their fair values with any excess consideration over the fair value of the identifiable net assets allocated to goodwill. Operating results have been included in these consolidated financial statements from the date of the acquisition. Supplemental pro forma financial information has not been presented as the impact was not material to the Company's consolidated financial statements. The goodwill recorded primarily includes the expected synergies resulting from combining the operations of the acquired entities with those of the Company.

During 2025, the Company acquired all of the membership interests in entities that owned seven retail stores for the purposes of expanding Green Thumb's national presence. The Company paid approximately $19,308 thousand in cash for these interests. As part of the initial purchase accounting, the Company recorded an intangible asset of $12,489 thousand, all of which was associated with licenses that allow for the retail sale of cannabis. The weighted-average amortization period for the license intangibles is 15 years. Acquisition-related costs associated with the transactions were not material.

The Company completed preliminary allocations of the purchase price of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in association with the seven retail stores. The preliminary valuation was based on management's estimates and assumptions which are subject to change within the measurement period (generally one year from the acquisition date). The details of the transaction are discussed below. The primary areas of the purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized relate to the valuation of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and the residual goodwill. The following table summarizes the initial accounting estimates:

**8. LEASES**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(a) Operating Leases** 

The Company has operating leases for its retail stores, processing and cultivation facilities and corporate office space. Operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date.

The Company records material real estate and equipment leases with an initial term of twelve months or more on the balance sheet. Real estate lease agreements for some locations provide for rent escalations and renewal options. Certain real estate leases require payment for fixed and variable non-lease components, such as taxes, insurance and maintenance, as part of base rent. In those circumstances, the Company elected the practical expedient to not separate the lease components from non-lease components.

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The Company must consider whether the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset. Certain arrangements require significant judgment to determine if an asset is specified in the contract and if the Company directs how and for what purpose the asset is used during the term of the contract. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 the Company recorded operating lease expense of $51,566 thousand, $54,385 thousand and $48,231 thousand, respectively.

Other information related to operating leases as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:

---

**10. SHARE CAPITAL**

------

Common shares, which include the Company's Subordinate Voting Shares, Multiple Voting Shares and Super Voting Shares, are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of common shares are recognized as a deduction from equity. The proceeds from the exercise of stock options or warrants together with amounts previously recorded in reserves over the applicable vesting periods are recorded as share capital. Income tax relating to transaction costs of an equity transaction is accounted for in accordance with *ASC 740*, *Income Taxes*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(a)** **Authorized** 

The Company has the following classes of share capital, with each class having no par value:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(i)** **Subordinate Voting Shares** 

The holders of the Subordinate Voting Shares are entitled to receive dividends which may be declared from time to time and are entitled to one vote per share at meetings of the Company's shareholders. All Subordinate Voting Shares are ranked equally with regard to the Company's residual assets. The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of no par value Subordinate Voting Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(ii)** **Multiple Voting Shares** 

Each Multiple Voting Share is entitled to 100 votes per share at shareholder meetings of the Company and is exchangeable for 100 Subordinate Voting Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(iii)** **Super Voting Shares** 

Each Super Voting Share is entitled to 1,000 votes per share at shareholder meetings of the Company and is exchangeable for one Multiple Voting Share, which is then convertible into 100 Subordinate Voting Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(i)*** ***Distribution of Contingent Consideration***

*Dharma Pharmaceuticals, LLC*

In connection with the Company's 2021 acquisition of Dharma Pharmaceuticals, LLC ("Dharma"), the purchase agreement included contingent consideration of up to $65,000 thousand in Subordinate Voting Shares of Green Thumb, which was dependent upon 1) the successful opening of five retail stores in the Virginia area within the first three years of following the signing of the agreement and 2) the legal sale of adult-use cannabis in a retail store on or before January 1, 2025 (the "Recreational Sales Milestone").

The following table provides an overview of store count, share quantities, and the fair value of shares at the issuance date:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Dharma Pharmaceuticals, LLC** | **Dharma Pharmaceuticals, LLC** | **Dharma Pharmaceuticals, LLC** | **Dharma Pharmaceuticals, LLC** |
| **Date of issuance** | **# of stores opened** | **Number of Subordinate Voting Shares issued** | **Fair Value in thousands** |

| June 1, 2023 | 1 | 822447 | 6070 |
| July 10, 2023 | 1 | 792424 | 6454 |
| **Total** | 5 | **2481944** | **$31584** |

---

As of December 31, 2023, the estimated fair value of the remaining contingent consideration associated with the Recreational Sales Milestone, which was valued based on a probability weighting of the potential payments, was $33,250 thousand and was included as a non-current liability on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

On February 9, 2024, the Company and the former owners of Dharma agreed to amend the conditions as set forth in the original purchase agreement in relation to the Recreational Sales Milestone (the "Amended Agreement"). Under the Amended Agreement, the former owners waived their right to the Recreational Sales Milestone in exchange for the delivery of 1,250,000 Subordinate Voting Shares of Green Thumb. As a result, the Company recorded a gain of $15,991 thousand within selling, general, and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations. On February 15, 2024, the Company distributed the shares to the former owners of Dharma, which had a fair market value of $17,259 thousand, which was based on the value of the shares as traded on the Canadian Securities Exchange on the date of distribution. As of such date, the balance of contingent consideration was fully extinguished.

As of December 31, 2023, in accordance with the relevant acquisition agreement, a portion of the outstanding deferred shares were cancelled in order to indemnify the Company for post-acquisition costs. As the cancellation of the deferred shares occurred outside of the purchase price allocation measurement period (generally one year from the acquisition date), the Company recorded a gain of $2,784 thousand within selling general and administrative expenses on the Company's consolidated statements of operations during the year ended December 31, 2024.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(iii) Repurchase of Subordinate and Super Voting Shares***

On September 23, 2025, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program that commenced immediately following the expiration of the Company's previous share repurchase program. The new program authorizes the Company to repurchase up to 10,364,640 of its Subordinate Voting Shares over a 12-month period at an aggregate cost of up to $50,000 thousand.

Under the Company's previous share repurchase programs, the Company repurchased a total of 7,209,875 and 3,972,000 Subordinate Voting Shares at an average price of $4.84 and $10.85 during each of the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company has returned $117,814 thousand to shareholders in the form of share repurchases from the commencement of its share repurchase program.

Separately, on December 28, 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with Benjamin Kovler, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Anthony Georgiadis, the President and a Director, to purchase 2,500 Super Voting Shares from each in private transactions. The price per Super Voting Share was determined based on the closing price of $7.988 per underlying Subordinate Voting Shares as traded on the OTCQX Best Market on the date of the transaction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(c) Stock-Based Compensation**

The Company operates equity settled stock-based remuneration plans for its eligible directors, officers, employees and consultants. All goods and services received in exchange for the grant of any stock-based payments are measured at their fair value unless the fair value cannot be estimated reliably. If the Company cannot estimate reliably the fair value of the goods and services received, the Company measures their value indirectly by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted. For transactions with employees and others providing similar services, the Company measures the fair value of the services by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted. Equity settled stock-based payments under stock-based payment plans are ultimately recognized as an expense in profit or loss with a corresponding credit to equity.

In June 2018, the Company established the Green Thumb Industries Inc. 2018 Stock and Incentive Plan, which was amended by Amendments No. 1 through 4 thereto (as amended, the "Plan"). The maximum number of RSUs and options issuable under the Plan shall not exceed 15% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares on an as-converted basis.

The Company recognizes compensation expense for RSUs and options on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. Non-market vesting conditions are included in the assumptions about the number of options that are expected to become exercisable. Estimates are subsequently revised if there is any indication that the number of share options expected to vest differs from the previous estimate. Any cumulative adjustment prior to vesting is recognized in the current period with no adjustment to prior periods for expense previously recognized.

Option and RSU grants generally vest over three years, and options typically have a life of seven to ten years. Option grants are determined by the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors with the option price set at no less than 100% of the fair market value of a share on the date of grant.

|  | **Number of Shares** | **Weighted Average Exercise Price** | **Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life** | **Aggregate Intrinsic Value** |
| Balance as of December 31, 2024 | 8238472 | $10.10 | 4.07 | $2664 |

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the difference between the Company's closing stock price on December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their in-the-money options on December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. This amount will change in future periods based on the fair market value of the Company's Subordinate Voting Shares and the number of options outstanding.

The following table summarizes the weighted average grant date fair value and intrinsic value of options exercised for the year ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023:

**11. INCOME TAX EXPENSE** 

------

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740 - *Income Taxes*, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based upon anticipated future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying values of assets and liabilities and the respective tax basis.

Green Thumb Industries Inc. is organized in Canada but maintains all of its operations in the United States. Due to this inverted entity structure, the Company is subject to both US and Canadian taxation.

For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, income taxes expense consisted of:

---

(a) State Taxes in Illinois, Maryland, and Pennsylvania made up the majority (greater than 50%) of the tax effect in this category.

Income taxes paid for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 were $30,214 thousand, $130,583 thousand and $99,535 thousand, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2025, federal taxes paid were $13,402 thousand and state taxes paid for Illinois, Maryland and New Jersey were $12,095 thousand.

As the Company operates in the cannabis industry, the IRS contends the Company is subject to IRC Section 280E under which the Company is only allowed to deduct expenses directly related to sales of product. This results in unrecognized tax benefits which can cause the effective tax rate to be highly variable and may not necessarily correlate with pre-tax income or loss.

Deferred taxes are provided using an asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized based on the rates at which they are expected to reverse in the future. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax law or tax rates is recognized in income in the period that enactment occurs.

Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company assessed the positive and negative evidence to determine if sufficient future taxable income will be generated to use the existing deferred tax assets. A valuation allowance is maintained as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 in the amount of $334 thousand and $1,126 thousand, respectively.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $1,300 thousand of gross federal net operating loss carryforwards. Additionally, the Company had $3,779 thousand of gross state net operating loss carryforwards, if not claimed, begin to expire in 2031. The Company's evaluation concluded that the majority of the net operating losses will be realized.

Pursuant to IRC Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, utilization of net operating losses and credits may be subject to annual limitations in the event of any significant future changes in its ownership structure. These annual limitations may result in the expiration of net operating losses and credits prior to utilization.

The Company operates in a number of tax jurisdictions and is subject to examination of its income tax returns by tax authorities in those jurisdictions who may challenge any item on these returns. Because the tax matters challenged by tax authorities are typically complex, the ultimate outcome of these challenges is uncertain. In accordance with ASC 740, *Income Taxes*, the Company recognizes the benefits of uncertain tax positions in our consolidated financial statements only after determining that it is more likely than not that the uncertain tax positions will be sustained.

The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes. As of December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, we recognized $5,863 thousand, $4,726 thousand and $10,043 thousand of interest and penalties, respectively. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024 we have accrued for interest and penalties of $25,207 thousand and $19,344 thousand of interest and penalties, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, $22,806 thousand of unrecognized tax benefits are expected to be recovered over the next 12 months. We file income tax returns in the US, various state jurisdictions, and Canada, which jurisdictions have varying statutes of limitations. The US federal statute of limitation and state income tax returns generally remain open for the 2022 tax year to the present. Net operating loss arising prior to these years are also open to examination if and when utilized.

**13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES**

------

The Company is subject to lawsuits, investigations and other claims related to employment, commercial and other matters that arise out of operations in the normal course of business. Periodically, the Company reviews the status of each significant matter and assesses the potential financial exposure. If the potential loss from any claim or legal proceeding is considered probable, and the amount can be reasonably estimated, such amount is recognized in other liabilities.

Contingent liabilities are measured at management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period and are discounted to present value where the effect is material. The Company performs evaluations to identify contingent liabilities for contracts. Contingent consideration is measured upon acquisition and is estimated using probability weighting of potential payouts. Subsequent changes in the estimated contingent consideration from the final purchase price allocation are recognized in the Company's consolidated statements of operations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(a)** **Contingencies** 

The Company's operations are subject to a variety of local and state regulations. Failure to comply with one or more of those regulations could result in fines, sanctions, restrictions on its operations, or losses of licenses and permits that could result in the Company ceasing operations in that specific state or local jurisdiction. While management believes that the Company is in compliance with applicable local and state regulations at December 31, 2025 and 2024, cannabis and other regulations continue to evolve and are subject to differing interpretations. As a result, the Company may be subject to regulatory fines, penalties, or restrictions in the future.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(b)** **Claims and Litigation** 

From time to time, the Company may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of operations in the normal course of business. The following is an update to the status of previously disclosed matters as of December 31, 2025:

In July 2024, the Company received Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law regarding an October 30, 2019 complaint filed against the Company alleging the Company breached a commercial property lease with ineffective termination. On June 25, 2025, the Company received the Final Judgment from the court ruling in favor of plaintiff landlord in the amount of $7,307 thousand, representing unpaid rent. In addition, the court found the Company liable for interest and attorney fees in the amount of $912 thousand. As a result, the Company accrued the amount of probable loss that can reasonably be estimated within accrued liabilities on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

In August 2025, the Company appealed the Final Judgment with a Notice of Appeal. Under the Rules of Court, the Company was provided a stay on the enforcement of the Final Judgment upon posting a supersedeas bond in the amount of the Final Judgment plus interest and costs through the appeal period. As of December 31, 2025, the Company held the bond in the amount of $9,284 thousand within restricted cash and cash equivalents on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

At December 31, 2025 and 2024, other than as discussed above, there were no pending or threatened lawsuits considered probable or reasonably possible to result in an unfavorable outcome with an exposure expected to have a material effect on the results of the Company's consolidated operations. There are also no proceedings in which any of the Company's directors, officers or affiliates is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to the Company's interest.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(c)** **Construction Commitments** 

As of December 31, 2025, the Company held approximately $2,900 thousand of open construction commitments to contractors on work being performed which are generally expected to be completed within 12 months.

**14. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS** 

------

The Company applies fair value accounting for all financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities that are required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers all related factors of the asset by market participants in which the Company would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and credit risk.

The Company applies the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels, and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:

*Level 1* – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

*Level 2* – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

*Level 3* – Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(a)** **Financial Instruments** 

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, investments, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, notes payable, warrant liability, and contingent consideration payable.

For the Company's long-term notes payable (the Credit Facility and mortgage notes), for which there were no quoted market prices or active trading markets, it was not practicable to estimate the fair value of these financial instruments. The carrying amount of notes payable at December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $244,896 thousand and $254,958 thousand, which includes $18,495 thousand and $12,062 thousand, respectively, of short-term debt due within one year.

Financial instruments recorded at fair value are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs to fair value measurements.

The following tables summarize the Company's financial instruments which are measured at fair value as of December 31, 2025 and 2024:

**15. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED ENTITIES**

On November 5, 2024, the Company acquired a noncontrolling financial interest in Agrify Corporation (now known as RYTHM Inc. and referred to herein as "RYM"), in exchange for $15,000 thousand in cash and $3,280 thousand in Subordinate Voting Shares of Green Thumb. As part of the transaction, the Company also acquired warrants that would allow the Company to extend its ownership stake if exercised, subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations - all of which remained outstanding as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. In addition, on November 5, 2024, the Company extended a convertible secured note to RYM (the "Original Notes"), the carrying value of which was $10,000 thousand as of such date. The Original Notes, bear interest at an annualized rate of 10%.

Benjamin Kovler, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Green Thumb, and Armon Vakali, Vice President, Strategic Initiatives and Partnerships of Green Thumb, were appointed by RYM's Board of Directors to serve as RYM's Chairman and Interim Chief Executive Officer and member of RYM's Board, respectively.

On May 20, 2025, Green Thumb entered into an agreement with RYM whereby Green Thumb agreed to sell its intellectual property in its incredibles brand as well as its hemp business, operated in its former subsidiary, Core Growth LLC for $5,075 thousand in cash. As part of the transaction, RYM agreed to license the intellectual property back to Green Thumb allowing the Company to continue production and sale of incredibles branded cannabis products. As part of the transaction, the Company evaluated the repurchase rights in the sale agreement and concluded that they would not preclude the Company from accounting for the transaction as a sale. Separately, Green Thumb agreed to license its intellectual property in Beboe and RYM branded products to RYM (the "May Licensing Agreement"). As a result of the transaction, Green Thumb recorded a loss on the sale of $11,678 thousand within other income (expense) on the consolidated statements of operations.

On May 22, 2025, RYM and Green Thumb amended the Original Notes to allow Green Thumb to receive pre-funded warrants in lieu of shares of RYM upon conversion of the Original Notes. No other terms of the Original Notes were amended. In addition, Green Thumb extended an additional $27,000 thousand in convertible notes (the "May 2025 Notes") to RYM, due November 22, 2026. Other than the amount and maturity date, all of the terms of the May 2025 Notes are consistent with the Original Notes, as amended.

On August 25, 2025, Green Thumb extended another Convertible Note in the amount of $45,000 thousand (the "August 2025 Notes") to RYM. The August 2025 Notes mature on February 25, 2027, bear interest at an annualized rate of 10% and may be converted into shares of RYM or, at the election of the holder, into pre-funded warrants, subject to beneficial ownership limitations as well as applicable Nasdaq listing rules. If converted into common shares of RYM, such shares would be converted at a rate of $29.475 per share.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, accrued interest on the "Combined Notes" (the Original Notes, May 2025 Notes and August 2025 Notes, collectively) was $2,326 thousand and $156 thousand, respectively.

On August 27, 2025, Green Thumb sold its intellectual property rights in brands including RYTHM, Beboe, Dogwalkers, Doctor Solomon's, &Shine and Good Green for $50,000 thousand in cash. As part of the transaction, RYM agreed to license the intellectual property back to Green Thumb and cancel the May Licensing Agreement between RYM and the Company. Upon closing, Agrify Corporation formally changed its name to RYTHM, Inc. As a result of the transaction, Green Thumb recorded a gain on the sale of $41,554 thousand within other income (expense) on the consolidated statements of operations as of such date. As part of the transaction, the Company evaluated the repurchase rights in the sale agreement and concluded that they would not preclude the Company from accounting for the transaction as a sale. As of December 31, 2025, the Company owed RYM an immaterial amount in licensing fees in association with the licensing agreements. Such amount was included within accounts payable on the consolidated balance sheets.

On November 5, 2025, the Original Notes matured and were exchanged for 3,222,997 pre-funded warrants representing the principal amount plus accrued interest on the Original Notes. The pre-funded warrants were recorded at fair value, based on the trading price of RYM's stock price as traded on the NASDAQ exchange on the date of the transaction and resulted in a gain of $122,769 thousand which was included within other income (expense) on the consolidated statements of operations.

**Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm**

To the shareholders and the board of directors of Green Thumb Industries Inc.:

**Opinions on the Consolidated Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting**

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Green Thumb Industries Inc. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework: (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO").

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework: (2013) issued by COSO.

**Basis for Opinions**

The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's consolidated financial statements and an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

**Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting**

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

------

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

**Critical Audit Matters**

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

**Sale of Core Growth LLC, and Intellectual Property to RYTHM, Inc.**

*Critical Audit Matter Description*

As described in Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2025, the Company entered into two complex contractual agreements with a related party: RYTHM, Inc. These transactions disposed of the Company's Core Growth, LLC subsidiary and other intellectual property (Tradenames). Challenging and complex judgments were required in accounting for these transactions under the appropriate asset derecognition frameworks in accordance with US GAAP.

Auditing management's evaluation of the technical conclusions drawn for each of these transactions required significant auditor judgment due to the reliance on the contractual structure underlying each of these transactions and the applicable accounting frameworks governing asset derecognition.

*How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit*

The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•We tested the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls established surrounding management's technical accounting conclusions over the sale of Core Growth, LLC and other intellectual property (Tradenames);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•We evaluated the judgments and technical accounting conclusions used in management's accounting for the following transactions:

oMay 20, 2025 loss on the sale of Core Growth LLC, including the sale of intellectual property rights in the incredibles brand and simultaneous license back of that intellectual property to the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪Obtained and reviewed transaction agreements between the Company and RYTHM;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪Read and evaluated the Company's technical analysis regarding the sale of the Company's interest in Core Growth, LLC and the respective accounting determinations as follows;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Evaluated the Company's determination that the disposition of Core Growth, LLC qualified as the sale of a business under *ASC 805 – Business Combinations* ("ASC 805");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Evaluated the Company's determination that the sale should be accounted for under the derecognition principles of *ASC 810 – Consolidation* ("ASC 810"), vs. *ASC 610 Other Income—Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets* ("ASC 610");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Evaluated repurchase rights present within the sales agreement. ASC 810 does not contemplate the derecognition of a business when the sale agreement includes repurchase features for the seller. In considering whether a failed-sale may exist, we examined analogous guidance underlying ASC 610. ASC 610 requires the derecognition of non-financial assets where repurchase arrangements are present examine the transaction by examining repurchase arrangement considerations as found in *ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers* ("ASC 606"). We evaluated repurchase rights in the sale agreement and whether they were (1) in control of either party and (2) aligned to conditions considered to be more than remote in likelihood at the date of the sale.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪We tested the inputs into the Company's calculation of loss on sale to determine whether assets were derecognized and the loss on sale was the deficit of consideration received.

oAugust 27, 2025 gain on sale of the Company's intellectual property rights in various tradenames (the "Tradenames") with a simultaneous license back of those tradenames to the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪Obtained and reviewed transaction agreements between the Company and RYTHM;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪Read and evaluated the Company's technical analysis regarding the sale of the Tradenames and the respective accounting determinations as follows;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Evaluated the Company's determination that the disposition of the Tradenames did not qualify as the sale of a business under ASC 805 and that the corresponding derecognition should be accounted for under ASC 610 vs ASC 805.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Evaluated repurchase rights present within the Tradenames sales agreement. ASC 610 requires the derecognition of non-financial assets where repurchase arrangements are present to follow the requirements for repurchase arrangement considerations as found in ASC 606. We evaluated repurchase rights within the sales agreement and whether they were (1) in control of either party and (2) aligned to conditions considered to be more than remote in likelihood at the date of the sale.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪We tested the inputs into the Company's calculation of gain on sale to determine whether assets were derecognized and the gain on sale was the excess of consideration received.

We have served as the Company's auditor since 2021.

As of February 29, 2024, Green Thumb Industries Inc. ("we," "us," "our," "Company," "Corporation" or "Green Thumb") has three classes of securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"): our Subordinate Voting Shares, our Multiple Voting Shares and our Super Voting Shares.

The following is a summary of certain terms of our Subordinate Voting Shares, Multiple Voting Shares and Super Voting Shares. This summary does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, our Amended and Restated Articles (the "Articles"), which is included as an exhibit to the Annual Report on Form 10-K of which this Exhibit 4.2 is a part, as well as the provisions of applicable law.

**Authorized Share Capital**

Under our Articles, we are authorized to issue an unlimited number of Subordinate Voting Shares, without nominal or par value, an unlimited number of Multiple Voting Shares, without nominal or par value, and an unlimited number of Super Voting Shares, without nominal or par value.

As of February 19, 2024, our issued and outstanding capital stock consisted of: (i) 211,630,766 Subordinate Voting Shares; (ii) 37,683 Multiple Voting Shares; and (iii) 216,690 Super Voting Shares.

The Multiple Voting Shares are convertible 1-for-100 into Subordinate Voting Shares, under the circumstances and subject to the conditions described herein. The Super Voting Shares are convertible 1-for-1 into Multiple Voting Shares, under the circumstances and subject to the conditions described herein.

The total number of equity shares assuming all are converted into Subordinate Voting Shares would be 237,068,066 Subordinate Voting Shares.

**Subordinate Voting Shares** 

*Notice and Voting Rights.* Holders of Subordinate Voting Shares are entitled to notice of and to attend at any meeting of our shareholders, except a meeting of which only holders of another particular class or series of our shares have the right to vote. At each such meeting, holders of Subordinate Voting Shares are entitled to one vote in respect of each Subordinate Voting Share held.

*Class Rights.* As long as any Subordinate Voting Shares remain outstanding, we will not, without the consent of the holders of the Subordinate Voting Shares by separate special resolution, prejudice or interfere with any right attached to the Subordinate Voting Shares. Holders of Subordinate Voting Shares will not be entitled to a right of first refusal to subscribe for, purchase or receive any part of any issue of Subordinate Voting Shares, or bonds, debentures or other securities of Green Thumb.

*Liquidation Rights.* In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of Green Thumb, whether voluntary or involuntary, or in the event of any other distribution of our assets among our shareholders for the purpose of winding up our affairs, the holders of Subordinate Voting Shares will, subject to the prior rights of the holders of any of our shares ranking in priority to the Subordinate Voting Shares, be entitled to participate ratably along with all other holders of Subordinate Voting Shares, Multiple Voting Shares (on an as-converted to Subordinate Voting Shares basis) and Super Voting Shares (on an as-converted to Subordinate Voting Shares basis).

*Conversion Rights.* In the event that an offer is made to purchase Multiple Voting Shares and the offer is one which is required, pursuant to applicable securities legislation or the rules of a stock exchange on which the Multiple Voting Shares are then listed, to be made to all or substantially all the holders of Multiple Voting Shares in a given province or territory of Canada to which these requirements apply, each Subordinate Voting Share shall become convertible at the option of the holder into Multiple Voting Shares at the inverse of the Conversion ratio, currently 1 Multiple Voting Share into 100 Subordinate Voting Shares or 1 Super Voting Share into 1 Multiple Voting Share, as applicable, at any time while the offer is in effect until one day after the time prescribed by applicable securities legislation for the offeror to take up and pay for such shares as are to be acquired pursuant to the offer. The conversion right may only be exercised in respect of Subordinate Voting Shares for the purpose of depositing the resulting Multiple Voting Shares pursuant to the offer, and for no other reason. In such event, our transfer agent shall deposit the resulting Multiple Voting Shares on behalf of the holder. Should the Multiple Voting Shares issued upon conversion and tendered in response to the offer be withdrawn by shareholders or not taken up by the offeror, or should the offer be abandoned or withdrawn, the Multiple Voting Shares resulting from the conversion shall be automatically reconverted, without further intervention on the part of Green Thumb or on the part of the holder, into Subordinate Voting Shares at the conversion ratio then in effect.

------

*Dividend Rights.* Holders of Subordinate Voting Shares are entitled to receive, as and when declared by our directors, dividends in cash or our property. No dividend will be declared or paid on the Subordinate Voting Shares unless we simultaneously declare or pay, as applicable, equivalent dividends (on an as-converted to Subordinate Voting Shares basis) on the Multiple Voting Shares and Super Voting Shares.

*Change in Control.* No subdivision or consolidation of the Subordinate Voting Shares, Multiple Voting Shares or Super Voting Shares shall occur unless, simultaneously, the Subordinate Voting Shares, Multiple Voting Shares and Super Voting Shares are subdivided or consolidated in the same manner, so as to maintain and preserve the relative rights of the holders of the shares of each of the said classes.

**Multiple Voting Shares**

*Notice and Voting Rights.* Holders of Multiple Voting Shares are entitled to notice of and to attend any meeting of our shareholders, except a meeting of which only holders of another particular class or series of our shares have the right to vote. At each such meeting, holders of Multiple Voting Shares are entitled to one vote in respect of each Subordinate Voting Share into which such Multiple Voting Share could then be converted (currently 100 votes per Multiple Voting Share held).

*Class Rights.* As long as any Multiple Voting Shares remain outstanding, Green Thumb will not, without the consent of the holders of the Multiple Voting Shares by separate special resolution, prejudice or interfere with any right attached to the Multiple Voting Shares. Holders of Multiple Voting Shares will not be entitled to a right of first refusal to subscribe for, purchase or receive any part of any issue of our Subordinate Voting Shares, or bonds, debentures or other securities.

*Liquidation Rights.* In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of Green Thumb, whether voluntary or involuntary, or in the event of any other distribution of our assets among our shareholders for the purpose of winding up our affairs, the holders of Multiple Voting Shares will, subject to the prior rights of the holders of any of our shares ranking in priority to the Multiple Voting Shares, be entitled to participate ratably along with all other holders of Multiple Voting Shares (on an as-converted to Subordinate Voting Share basis), Subordinate Voting Shares and Super Voting Shares (on an as-converted to Subordinate Voting Share basis).

*Conversion Rights.* The Multiple Voting Shares each have a restricted right to convert into 100 Subordinate Voting Shares, subject to adjustments for certain customary corporate changes. The ability to convert the Multiple Voting Shares is subject to a restriction that the aggregate number of Subordinate Voting Shares, Multiple Voting Shares and Super Voting Shares held of record, directly or indirectly, by residents of the United States (as determined in accordance with Rules 3b-4 and 12g3-2(a) under the Exchange Act), may not exceed 40% of the aggregate number of Subordinate Voting Shares, Multiple Voting Shares and Super Voting Shares issued and outstanding after giving effect to such conversions and to a restriction on beneficial ownership of Subordinate Voting Shares exceeding certain levels. In addition, the Multiple Voting Shares will be automatically converted into Subordinate Voting Shares in certain circumstances, including upon the registration of the Subordinate Voting Shares under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

In the event that an offer is made to purchase Subordinate Voting Shares and the offer is one which is required, pursuant to applicable securities legislation or the rules of a stock exchange on which the Subordinate Voting Shares are then listed, to be made to all or substantially all the holders of Subordinate Voting Shares in a given province or territory of Canada to which these requirements apply, each Multiple Voting Share shall become convertible at the option of the holder into Subordinate Voting Shares at the Conversion ratio at any time while the offer is in effect until one day after the time prescribed by applicable securities legislation for the offeror to take up and pay for such shares as are to be acquired pursuant to the offer. The conversion right may be exercised in respect of Multiple Voting Shares for the purpose of depositing the resulting Multiple Voting Shares pursuant to the offer. Should the Subordinate Voting Shares issued upon conversion and tendered in response to the offer be withdrawn by shareholders or not taken up by the offeror, or should the offer be abandoned or withdrawn, the Subordinate Voting Shares resulting from the conversion shall be automatically reconverted, without further intervention on our part or on the part of the holder, into Multiple Voting Shares at the inverse of the conversion ratio then in effect.

*Dividend Rights.* The holders of the Multiple Voting Shares are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared and paid to holders of the Subordinate Voting Shares in any financial year as our Board may by resolution determine, on an as-converted to Subordinate Voting Share basis. No dividend will be declared or paid on the Multiple Voting Shares unless we simultaneously declare or pay, as applicable, equivalent dividends (on an as-converted to Subordinate Voting Share basis) on the Subordinate Voting Shares and Super Voting Shares.

*Change in Control.* No subdivision or consolidation of the Subordinate Voting Shares, Multiple Voting Shares or Super Voting Shares shall occur unless, simultaneously, the Subordinate Voting Shares, Multiple Voting Shares and Super Voting Shares are subdivided or consolidated in the same manner, so as to maintain and preserve the relative rights of the holders of the shares of each of the said classes.

------

**Super Voting Shares**

*Notice and Voting Rights.* Holders of Super Voting Shares are entitled to notice of and to attend at any meeting of our shareholders, except a meeting of which only holders of another particular class or series of our shares have the right to vote. At each such meeting, holders of Super Voting Shares are entitled to 1,000 votes in respect of each Subordinate Voting Share into which such Super Voting Share could ultimately then be converted (currently 1,000 votes per Super Voting Share held).

*Class Rights.* As long as any Super Voting Shares remain outstanding, Green Thumb will not, without the consent of the holders of the Super Voting Shares by separate special resolution, prejudice or interfere with any right or special right attached to the Super Voting Shares. Additionally, consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Super Voting Shares will be required for any action that authorizes or creates shares of any class having preferences superior to or on a parity with the Super Voting Shares. In connection with the exercise of the voting rights in respect of any such approvals, each holder of Super Voting Shares will have one vote in respect of each Super Voting Share held. The holders of Super Voting Shares will not be entitled to a right of first refusal to subscribe for, purchase or receive any part of any issue of our Subordinate Voting Shares, bonds, debentures or other securities not convertible into Super Voting Shares.

*Liquidation Rights.* In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of Green Thumb, whether voluntary or involuntary, or in the event of any other distribution of our assets among our shareholders for the purpose of winding up our affairs, the holders of Super Voting Shares will, subject to the prior rights of the holders of any of our shares ranking in priority to the Super Voting Shares, be entitled to participate ratably along with all other holders of Super Voting Shares (on an as-converted to Subordinate Voting Share basis), Subordinate Voting Shares and Multiple Voting Shares (on an as-converted to Subordinate Voting Share basis).

*Conversion Rights.* Each Super Voting Share has a right to convert into 1 Multiple Voting Share subject to customary adjustments for certain corporate changes.

*Conversion at the Option of Green Thumb.* We have the right to convert all or some of the Super Voting Shares from a holder of Super Voting Shares into an equal number of Multiple Voting Shares subject to customary adjustments for certain corporate changes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) upon the transfer by the holder thereof to anyone other than (i) an immediate family member of Benjamin Kovler, Peter Kadens, Anthony Georgiadis or Andrew Grossman (who we refer to as the Initial Holders) or a transfer for purposes of estate or tax planning to a company or person that is wholly beneficially owned by an Initial Holder or immediate family members of an Initial Holder or which an Initial Holder or immediate family members of an Initial Holder are the sole beneficiaries thereof; or (ii) a party approved by the us (who, together with the Initial Holders, we refer to as the Permitted Holders); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) if at any time the aggregate number of issued and outstanding Super Voting Shares beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by an Initial Holder of the Super Voting Shares and the Initial Holder's predecessor or transferor, permitted transferees and permitted successors, divided by the number of Super Voting Shares beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by the holder (and the Initial Holder's predecessor or transferor, permitted transferees and permitted successors) as at the date of completion of the business combination whereby we, 1165318 B.C. Ltd. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bayswater Uranium Corporation), VCP23, LLC, GTI23, Inc. and GTI Finco Inc. combined our respective businesses, is less than 50%. The Initial Holders of Super Voting Shares will, from time to time upon our request, provide us with evidence as to such Initial Holders' direct and indirect beneficial ownership (and that of our permitted transferees and permitted successors) of Super Voting Shares to enable us to determine if our right to convert has occurred. For purposes of these calculations, a holder of Super Voting Shares will be deemed to beneficially own Super Voting Shares held by an intermediate company or fund in proportion to their equity ownership of such company or fund, unless such company or fund holds such shares for the benefit of such holder, in which case they will be deemed to own 100% of such shares held for their benefit.

We are not required to convert Super Voting Shares on a prorated basis among the holders of Super Voting Shares.

*Transfer Restrictions.* There are no transfer restrictions in our Articles for the Super Voting Shares, subject to conversion rights at our option (see "Conversion at the Option of Green Thumb" above).

*Dividend Rights.* The holders of the Super Voting Shares are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared and paid to holders of the Subordinate Voting Shares in any financial year as the Board may by resolution determine, on an as-converted to Subordinate Voting Share basis. No dividend will be declared or paid on the Super Voting Shares unless we simultaneously declare or pay, as applicable, equivalent dividends (on an as-converted to Subordinate Voting Share basis) on the Multiple Voting Shares and Subordinate Voting Shares.

------

*Change in Control.* No subdivision or consolidation of the Subordinate Voting Shares, Multiple Voting Shares or Super Voting Shares shall occur unless, simultaneously, the Subordinate Voting Shares, Multiple Voting Shares and Super Voting Shares are subdivided or consolidated in the same manner, so as to maintain and preserve the relative rights of the holders of the shares of each of the said classes.

**Transfer Agent**

The transfer agent for our Subordinate Voting Shares is Odyssey Trust Company.

**Listing**

Our Subordinate Voting Shares are listed on OTCQX Best Market under the symbol "GTBIF." Our Subordinate Voting Shares are also listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the symbol "GTII."

## Exhibit 19.1

**Exhibit 19.1**

Green Thumb Industries Inc.

<br> ![img812603_0.gif](img812603_0.gif)

**POLICY ON INSIDER TRADING**

Adopted Effective: February 21, 2024

The Board of Directors (the "**Board**") of Green Thumb Industries Inc. (referred to herein, inclusive of its subsidiaries and affiliates, as the "**Company**") has adopted this policy (this "**Policy**") concerning the rules and procedures governing transactions in Securities (as defined below) by Covered Persons (as defined below).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1.** **Definitions**

"**Company**" shall have the meaning provided above.

"**Covered Person**" means all employees, officers, directors, agents, contractors, vendors and service providers of the Company and the Related Persons of each such individual. In addition, individuals outside of the Company can become temporary "insiders" who are treated as Covered Persons by having a special confidential relationship with the Company resulting in access to Material Nonpublic Information.

"**Designated Insider**" shall have the meaning set forth in Section G below.

"**Material Nonpublic Information**" also referred to as "**Inside Information**" has the meaning set forth in Section D below.

"**Related Person**" means, with reference to any person, (i) that person's immediate family members, (ii) any person living in that person's household, and (iii) any such person may own or control.

"**Securities**" means the equity securities (including, without limitation, subordinate voting shares, multiple voting shares and super voting shares) or debt securities, warrants, options, or preferred stock, of, or derivative securities relating to, a company.

"**Tipping**" means sharing Material Nonpublic Information with a third party, whether or not for compensation or an expectation of profit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.** **Purpose and Administration**

The Company's reputation for integrity and high ethical standards in the conduct of its affairs is of paramount importance. To preserve this reputation, it is essential that when transacting in Securities, all Covered Persons conform to all applicable laws, including U.S. and Canadian securities laws, and that they avoid even the appearance of impropriety. All Covered Persons must familiarize themselves with this Policy and abide by it. Insider trading is strictly regulated by the corporate and securities laws in the United States and Canada, as well as any stock exchange on which the Securities of the Company are listed. Violations of this Policy may result in civil and criminal penalties under applicable securities laws and disciplinary action by the Company up to and including termination of employment or service.<br>

The obligations of the Company's General Counsel (or if such role is vacant, the applicable person fulfilling such responsibilities) hereunder may be delegated by the General Counsel to such other member(s) of the Legal Department as the General Counsel may determine from time to time.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.** **Prohibition Against "Insider" Trading and Tipping – *Applies to all Covered Persons***

Covered Persons may not, directly or indirectly, purchase or sell Securities of the Company while in possession of Material Nonpublic Information concerning the Company. Similarly, Covered Persons may not trade in the Securities of another company if they have obtained Material Nonpublic Information about that company in the course of or in connection with the Covered Person's employment by or other service to the Company. In addition, Covered Persons are strictly prohibited from Tipping any other person or giving Material Nonpublic Information to another person.

Covered Persons are reminded that they may come into possession of Material Nonpublic Information in the ordinary course of their employment with or other service to the Company. Information that is not considered material to the Company may nevertheless be material to one of those other companies, and it is not permissible for Covered Persons to make use of Material Nonpublic Information gained in the course of their service to or employment with the Company for any reason outside of their scope of responsibilities to the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.** **What Is "Material Nonpublic Information"?**

"**Material Nonpublic Information**" or "**Inside Information**" is information that is both *material* and *nonpublic*. Whether information is *material* is difficult to evaluate in the abstract and typically is assessed with the benefit of hindsight. There always is information about the Company that is generally not known to the public. This information is "material" if it would likely to affect the stock price of the Company, or if a reasonable investor would consider it important in making an investment decision (*i.e.,* whether to buy, hold, or sell Securities).

Examples of information, which if not publicly known, could be "Material Nonpublic Information" or "Inside Information" include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•changes in share ownership that may affect control of the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•material acquisitions or dispositions by the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•proposed changes in corporate structure including amalgamations and reorganizations proposed acquisitions of other companies (including take-over bids or mergers or material assets of such companies);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•financial results and other earnings information, or information that would have an impact on financial results or earnings (such as unanticipated write-downs or gains and operating losses or gains);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•major labor disputes or disputes with major contractors or suppliers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•financial forecasts and plans, or material changes or expected material changes to financial forecasts or results;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•major personnel or management changes;<br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· changes in capital structure including stock splits and stock dividends, or changes in our capital investment plans or corporate objectives;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· a major lawsuit, criminal indictment or governmental investigation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· development of a significant new product process;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· significant labor disputes or disputes with major contractors or suppliers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· a change in auditor, substantial changes in accounting methodologies or auditor notification that an issuer may no longer rely on an audit report;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· borrowing or receiving loans for a material amount of money or obtaining significant debt financing; a public or private sale of a material number of additional securities

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· material changes or developments in products or contracts which could materially affect earnings upwards or downwards of the Company or its subsidiaries; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· knowledge of material cybersecurity risks or incidents.

------

Material information about the Company should be considered *nonpublic* unless there is a certainty that it is publicly available. For example, Covered Persons should assume that the information is **<u>not</u>** public unless the information has been disclosed in a press release issued by the Company, in a public filing by the Company (such as a report filed on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q or Form 8-K) made with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("**SEC**") or in materials provided to the Company's shareholders (such as an annual report, investor letter, prospectus or proxy statement), or is available from the Company through a newswire service or daily newspaper of wide circulation, **<u>AND</u>** a sufficient amount of time has passed (generally, at least one full trading day on the Company's primary securities exchange) so that the marketplace has had an opportunity to digest the information. Information about the Company and its Securities will continue to be considered nonpublic even if some information, such as rumors, speculation or similar reports from sources outside of the Company are the only source of publicity.

If you have questions or want clarification on whether particular information is *material* or *nonpublic,* please contact the General Counsel of the Company, its Chief Counsel – Securities & Governance or other designee of the General Counsel.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.** **The Exercise of Stock Options**

This Policy applies to any sale of stock as part of a broker-assisted cashless exercise of an option, the sale of Securities delivered to the option holder as a result of a "withhold to cover" transaction, or any other market transaction. However, this Policy does not apply to the exercise of options granted under the Company's employee share and incentive plan, or to the exercise of a tax withholding right, under a "withhold to cover" method for the exercise of the applicable option, ***<u>where that transaction does not</u> <u>involve the sale of securities on the open market, such as through a broker-assisted transaction</u>***.

Please contact the Green Thumb Equity Team (equity@gtigrows.com) or the Chief Counsel – Securities & Governance, the General Counsel or the General Counsel's designee if you have questions about whether it is possible to exercise options outside of the application of this Policy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.** **Additional Prohibited Transactions**

There should be no trading in any interest or position relating to the future price of the Company's Securities, including:<br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)<u>Short Sales</u>. Short sales of the Company's Securities evidence an expectation on the part of the Covered Person that the Securities will decline in value, and therefore signal to the market that the Covered Person has no confidence in the Company or its short-term prospects. In addition, short sales may reduce the Covered Person's incentive to improve the Company's performance. For these reasons, short sales of the Company's Securities are prohibited. In addition, Section 16(c) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "**Exchange Act**"), prohibits directors and executive officers from engaging in short sales.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)<u>Publicly Traded Put or Call Options</u>. A transaction in publicly traded put or call options is, in effect, a bet on the short-term movement of the Company's Securities and therefore creates the appearance that the Covered Person is trading based on inside information. Transactions in options also may focus the Covered Person's attention on short-term performance at the expense of the Company's long-term objectives. Accordingly, transactions in puts, calls or other derivative Securities of the Company, on an exchange or in any other organized market, are prohibited. This Section F(2) shall not be construed to apply to exercises of stock options granted by the Company pursuant to a share incentive plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)<u>Hedging Transactions</u>. Certain forms of hedging or monetization transactions allow the Covered Person to lock in much of the value of his or her stock holdings, often in exchange for all or part of the potential for upside appreciation in the stock. These transactions allow the Covered Person to continue to own the covered Securities, but without the full risks and rewards of ownership. When that occurs, the Covered Person may no longer have the same objectives as the Company's other stockholders. Therefore, Covered Persons are prohibited from purchasing financial instruments (including prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars and exchange funds), or otherwise engaging in transactions, that hedge or offset, or are designed to hedge or offset, any decrease in the market value of the Company's Securities.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4)<u>Margin Accounts and Pledges</u>. No Covered Person may use the Company's Securities to support a margin debt or pledge the Company's Securities at any time when the Covered Person is in possession of inside information or otherwise is not permitted to trade in the Securities of the Company, except for a margin loan with a registered broker-dealer that complies with the applicable margin rules.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.** **Designated Insiders**

All Covered Persons must limit transactions in the Company's Securities to periods when they can reasonably be satisfied that there are no pending material nonpublic developments that might have a bearing on the market price of such Securities. In addition to this general probation that applies to all Covered Persons, additional restrictions apply on certain Company insiders who routinely have access to Material Nonpublic Information, specifically including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)all directors of the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)all Executive Officers (as determined by the Board from time to time) of the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)all persons having access to the Company's significant, unreported, consolidated financial information through the Company's financial and accounting systems or otherwise;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4)other management personnel having access to the Company's financial results and projections or regular access to other potentially material information; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5)any executive assistant or other person with access to any of the above persons' sensitive files, such as email.

(collectively referred to as the "**Designated Insiders**"). A current list of the Designated Insiders shall be maintained by the Chief Administrative Officer or that person's designee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.** **Regular Trading Blackout Periods**

Purchases and sales of Securities of the Company by Designated Insiders, and each Designated Insider's Related Persons, will not be permitted at the following times, when Material Nonpublic Information is deemed reasonably likely to exist:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)During the periods at or prior to the end of each fiscal quarter and ending after the first full trading day following the release of the Company's earnings result for that period, which period will be determined by the Executive Officers of the Company and amended as the circumstances require from time to time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)In the event the Company issues interim earnings guidance or other potentially material information by way of press release, SEC filing or other means designed to achieve widespread dissemination of the information, Designated Insiders and Related Persons will be blacked out while the Company is in the process of assembling the information to be released and ending after the first full trading day following the release of such information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)Such other periods as to which Designated Insiders will be specifically advised.

*Hardship Exceptions.* Designated Insiders in limited, special circumstances, including an unexpected and urgent need to sell Company Securities in order to generate cash, may, in appropriate circumstances, be permitted to sell Company stock even during the blackout period. Hardship exceptions may be granted only by the General Counsel and must be requested at least two (2) business days in advance of the proposed trade. Under no circumstances will a hardship exception be granted to a Covered Person who possesses Material Nonpublic Information. Please contact the Chief Counsel – Securities & Governance for more information.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**9.** **Event-Specific Blackout Periods**

From time to time, an event may occur that is material to the Company and is known by only a few directors, executives or employees. So long as the event remains material and non-public, directors, executive officers, and such other persons as are designated by the General Counsel or the General Counsel's designee may not trade in the Company's Securities (an "**Event-Specific Blackout**"). The existence of an Event- Specific Blackout will not be announced, other than to those who are aware of the event giving rise to the blackout. If, however, a person whose trades are subject to the prior notice procedures described below desires to trade in the Company's Securities during an Event-Specific Blackout, the General Counsel or the General Counsel's designee will inform the requestor of the existence of a blackout period without disclosing the reason for the blackout. Any person made aware of the existence of an Event-Specific Blackout must not disclose the existence of the blackout to any other person. Covered Persons are prohibited from trading while in possession of Material Nonpublic Information, regardless of whether they have been designated by the General Counsel or the General Counsel's designee as being subject to an Event-Specific Blackout.

From time to time, the Company may be involved in transactions or other events with other publicly traded companies, and the transaction, while not material to the Company, may be material to the counterparty(ies). In such an event, the General Counsel or the General Counsel's designee may impose an

Event-Specific Blackout period on the Covered Persons involved with this event or transaction solely with respect to that other company(ies) by notice to the affected Covered Persons.

Note that the mere existence of a blackout period may be considered Material Nonpublic Information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**10.** **Pre-Clearance Procedures**

To help prevent inadvertent violations of applicable securities laws and to avoid even the appearance of trading while in possession of Material Nonpublic Information, all individuals subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act (*i.e.*, Directors and Section 16 Executive Officers), and others as designated by the General Counsel of the Company from time to time, (collectively, the "**Pre-Clearance Group**") may not engage in any transaction in the Company's Securities (including a gift, contribution to a trust, or similar transfer) without first providing the Executive Vice President – Capital Markets and the Chief Counsel – Securities & Governance (together, the "**Pre-Clearance Officers**") with at least 48 hours prior notice of the proposed transaction and receiving pre-clearance to proceed. The Pre-Clearance Officers (or, if one of them wishes to trade or is otherwise unavailable, then the General Counsel and/or the President shall replace such individual, as appropriate). The Pre-Clearance Officers will determine whether the transaction may proceed and if so, assist in complying with the SEC and Canadian reporting requirements, as applicable. The General Counsel or the designee thereof will maintain a list of the members of the Pre-Clearance Group and notify such individuals of their Pre-Clearance obligations. Pre-clearance shall be granted for a reasonable, limited period, generally no longer than five trading days from the date pre-clearance is granted. Pre-clearance may be requested again during an open trading window if the transaction is not completed within the applicable pre-clearance period.

These pre-clearance procedures apply to trades by partnerships, trusts, corporations, brokerage accounts or other vehicles over which members of the Pre-Clearance Group have investment control or influence, as well as the Related Persons of any member of the Pre-Clearance group. The Pre-Clearance Officers have the right to prohibit any trade for which pre-clearance is required.

*Transactions under Company Plans*. The pre-clearance procedures described above also apply to certain transactions under the Company's employee stock purchase and incentive plans. The pre-clearance procedures do not apply to mandatory sell-to-cover transactions to satisfy tax withholding requirements which are not initiated by the holder of such Securities, but do apply, however, to any sale of stock as part of a broker-assisted cashless exercise of an option, or any other market sale for the purposes of generating the cash needed to pay the exercise price of an award. Pre-clearance must be in writing (which may be via e-mail or other electronic communication).

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**11.** **Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plans**

Designated Insiders and/or members of the Pre-Clearance Group may establish a trading plan under SEC Rule 10b5-1 only after first obtaining written pre-clearance for the plan from the General Counsel or the General Counsel's designee. To obtain pre-clearance, a proposed Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plan must:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.1.Be in writing in form and substance acceptable to the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.2.Comply with all applicable rules set forth by the SEC and any applicable Canadian rules and regulations, and contain all terms required thereunder;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.3.Be entered into only during a period in which the Covered Person is not subject to a blackout period or is otherwise aware of Material Nonpublic Information

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.4.Require additional pre-clearance for any amendment, termination, or replacement.<br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.** **Post-Termination Transactions**

If, upon the termination of a Covered Person's service as a director, officer, employee or other agent of the Company, the Covered Person possesses Material Nonpublic Information, unless otherwise pre-cleared by the General Counsel or the General Counsel's designee, such Covered Person may not trade in the Company's Securities until that information has become public or is no longer material. In all other respects, the procedures set forth in this Policy will cease to apply to the terminated Covered Person's transactions in Company Securities upon the expiration of any applicable blackout period in effect at the time of the termination of service.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**13.** **Assistance**

If you have any questions about this Policy or its application to any proposed transaction, you may obtain additional guidance from the General Counsel, the Chief Counsel – Securities & Governance or the General Counsel's designee.
