**Item 5.** **Full Description of Material Change**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.1** **Full Description of Material Change** 

On November 14, 2025, the Company executed a master purchase agreement (the "**Master Purchase Agreement**") contemplated by the Company's previously disclosed restructuring support agreement dated July 30, 2025 (the "**RSA**"). Pursuant to the Master Purchase Agreement, certain assets and equity interests of specified U.S. subsidiaries are to be transferred to a newly-formed acquisition vehicle ("**NewCo**") formed in connection with AYR's senior noteholders' credit bid, in each case subject to the receipt of necessary regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.

On November 17, 2025, the Board of Directors of the Company appointed Mr. Blake Holzgrafe as Interim Chief Executive Officer of AYR's corporate parent to oversee and finalize the orderly wind-down of the parent entity in connection with AYR's ongoing restructuring. Mr. Scott Davido will remain an authorized officer of AYR's operating subsidiaries and is expected to serve as Interim Chief Executive Officer of NewCo.

Also on November 17, 2025, the Company initiated proceedings under the *Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act* (Canada) ("**CCAA**") in the Supreme Court of British Columbia (the "**Court**"). The CCAA proceedings are intended to facilitate an orderly, court-supervised wind-down of the corporate parent. In connection with the initial relief sought, the Company requested the appointment of a licensed insolvency trustee to act as monitor, along with related customary relief to stabilize operations during the process. The Court appointed KSV Restructuring Inc. as monitor.

The foregoing developments represent material steps in the Company's ongoing restructuring process, including the implementation of the RSA, the wind-down of the existing corporate parent, and the continuity of operations at AYR's operating subsidiaries, subject to applicable approvals.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.2** **Disclosure for Restructuring Transactions** 

The restructuring is being implemented, in relevant part, pursuant to the RSA, the Master Purchase Agreement and the CCAA proceedings, as applicable. The counterparties to the Master Purchase Agreement include AYR and NewCo, an acquisition vehicle formed in connection with AYR's senior noteholders' credit bid. The transactions contemplated involve the transfer of certain assets and equity interests of specified subsidiaries in the U.S. to NewCo, subject to receipt of regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. The CCAA proceedings are intended to, among other things, oversee an orderly wind-down of the AYR corporate parent and facilitate the implementation of the RSA. Further details, including the definitive terms and any effects on securityholders, will be provided as available in subsequent court and regulatory filings and in accordance with applicable securities laws.

The Buyer has agreed to purchase the Acquired Assets and the Acquired Equity Interests through the Sale Proceeding at the direction of the Consenting Senior Noteholders and by the terms hereof the Sellers shall convey the Acquired Assets and the Acquired Equity Interests to the Buyer in exchange for (i) with respect to the Collateral Assets, the credit bid amount for the Collateral Assets (which may be increased to account for accrued interest after the date hereof but before a Closing), such that: (A) with respect to any Acquired Equity Interests that are included as Collateral Assets, the cancellation of debt described in this clause (i) shall apply to the principal of such debt, excluding any interest that has been capitalized or paid-in-kind and (B) with respect to any other Acquired Assets that are included as Collateral Assets, the cancellation of debt described in this clause (i) shall apply (x) first, to any remaining principal of such debt, excluding any interest that has been capitalized or paid-in-kind, (y) second, to any premium, and (z) last, to any accrued and unpaid interest, including any interest that has been capitalized or paid-in kind, and (ii) with respect to the Transferred Assets, the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities, as set forth on <u>Annex A</u>, (the "<u>Purchase Price</u>").

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Single Closing or a State-Specific Closing, the purchase of the Acquired Equity Interests shall occur first, and the purchase and assumption of Acquired Assets and Assumed Liabilities shall occur five (5) minutes thereafter.

This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided that neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned by operation of law or otherwise without the prior written consent of the Sellers and the Buyer; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyer may at any time in its sole discretion and without the consent of any other Party assign, in whole or in part, (a) its right to purchase the Acquired Assets and Acquired Equity Interests and assume the Assumed Liabilities to one or more of its Affiliates (provided that no such assignment shall release the Buyer from its obligations hereunder); (b) its rights under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements for collateral security purposes to any lender providing financing to the Buyer, such permitted assign or any of their Affiliates, and any such lender may exercise all of the rights and remedies of such assignee hereunder and thereunder; and (c) its rights under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements to any subsequent purchaser of the Buyer or any material portion of its assets (whether such sale is structured as a sale of stock, or other equivalent sale of assets, merger, recapitalization or otherwise).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.8 <u>Severability</u>. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under Applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under Applicable Law or public policy, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, and all other terms of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect for so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.9 <u>Disclosure Schedules</u>. The disclosure of any matter in any Disclosure Schedule or Schedule to this Agreement shall be deemed to be a disclosure with respect to any other section or subsection of this Agreement with respect to which its relevance is reasonably apparent on its face for all purposes of this Agreement, but shall expressly not be deemed to constitute an admission by the Buyer or the Sellers, or to otherwise imply, that any such matter is material for the purposes of this Agreement. Matters reflected in the Disclosure Schedules are not necessarily limited to matters required by this Agreement to be set forth on the Disclosure Schedules, and any such additional matters are for informational purposes only and do not necessarily include other matters of a similar nature.

If any Party has breached any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) that the Party has not breached shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that the Party is in breach of the first representation, warranty or covenant.

This Agreement, the Disclosure Schedules identified in this Agreement and the other documents referred to herein contain the entire agreement between the Parties and supersede any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or between the Parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way.
