This prospectus relates to the resale, from time to time, by the selling securityholders named in this prospectus (the "**Selling Securityholders**") of up to an aggregate of 114,807,815 of our subordinate voting shares, no par value (the "**Subordinate Voting Shares**"), issued in connection with our entry into Convertible Note Secondary Sale and Purchase Agreements (the "**Note Purchase Agreements**") with several holders (the "**Noteholders**") of those certain 13% Senior Secured Convertible Notes due December 7, 2026 (the "**Notes**") of Medicine Man Technologies, Inc. d/b/a Schwazze, a Nevada corporation ("**Schwazze**"). The Notes, which have a value of approximately $91,000,000, consisting of principal and accrued interest, were acquired for total consideration of approximately $62,000,000. The Notes purchased by us represent approximately 86% of the total outstanding Notes. The consideration paid by the Company was in the form of 114,807,815 Subordinate Voting Shares of the Company (the "**Shares**") at a deemed price per share of $0.54.

Our registration of the Subordinate Voting Shares covered by this prospectus does not mean that the Selling Securityholders will offer or sell any of the Subordinate Voting Shares hereby registered. The Selling Securityholders may offer, sell, or distribute all or a portion of the Subordinate Voting Shares hereby registered publicly or through private transactions at prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. We will not receive any of the proceeds from such sales of our Subordinate Voting Shares by the Selling Securityholders pursuant to this prospectus. We will bear all costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of these Subordinate Voting Shares, including with regard to compliance with state securities or "blue sky" laws. The Selling Securityholders will bear all commissions and discounts, if any, attributable to their sale of our Subordinate Voting Shares. See "*Plan of Distribution*" beginning on page 29 of this prospectus.

You should read this prospectus and any prospectus supplement or amendment carefully before you invest in our Subordinate Voting Shares.

**ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS**

This prospectus is part of a registration statement that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "**SEC**") using the "shelf" registration process. Under this shelf registration process, the Selling Securityholders may, from time to time, sell the Subordinate Voting Shares offered by them described in this prospectus. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale by such Selling Securityholders of the Subordinate Voting Shares offered by them described in this prospectus.

We may also file a prospectus supplement that may contain material information relating to these offerings. The prospectus supplement may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus with respect to that offering. If there is any inconsistency between the information in this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, you should rely on the prospectus supplement. Before purchasing any Subordinate Voting Shares, you should carefully read this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement, together with the additional information described under the headings "*Where You Can Find More Information"* and *"Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference.*"

Neither we, nor the Selling Securityholders, have authorized anyone to provide you with any information or to make any representations other than those contained in this prospectus or any applicable prospectus supplement prepared by or on behalf of us or to which we have referred you. We and the Selling Securityholders take no responsibility for, and can provide no assurance as to the reliability of, any other information that others may give you. We and the Selling Securityholders will not make an offer to sell these Subordinate Voting Shares in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted. You should assume that the information appearing in this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement to this prospectus is accurate only as of the date on its respective cover. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since those dates.

This prospectus contains, and any prospectus supplement may contain, industry and market data from our own internal estimates and research, as well as from independent market research, industry and general publications and surveys, governmental agencies, publicly available information and research, surveys and studies conducted by third parties. Internal estimates are derived from publicly available information released by industry analysts and third-party sources, our internal research and our industry experience, and are based on assumptions made by us based on such data and our knowledge of our industry and market, which we believe to be reasonable. In some cases, we do not expressly refer to the sources from which this data is derived. In addition, while we believe the industry and market data included in this prospectus is reliable and based on reasonable assumptions, we do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of this information and we have not independently verified this information. The market and industry data and forecasts that may be included in this prospectus, any post-effective amendment or any prospectus supplement may involve estimates, assumptions and other risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various factors, including those discussed under the heading "*Risk Factors*" included herein and contained in our filings incorporated herein by reference, and any applicable prospectus supplement. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on this information. Nevertheless, we are ultimately responsible for all disclosure in this prospectus.

This prospectus contains summaries of certain provisions contained in some of the documents described herein, but reference is made to the actual documents for complete information.

This prospectus and any document incorporated by reference to this prospectus may contains references to trademarks, trade names and service marks of Vireo Growth. Solely for convenience, trademarks, trade names and service marks referred to in this prospectus and any document incorporated by reference to this prospectus, including logos, artwork and other visual displays may appear without the®, TM or SM symbols, but such references are not intended to indicate, in any way, that Vireo Growth will not assert, to the fullest extent under applicable law, its rights thereto.

Unless the context indicates otherwise, references in this prospectus to the "Company," "Vireo Growth," "we," "us," "our," and similar terms refer to Vireo Growth Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

**IMPLICATIONS OF BEING AN EMERGING GROWTH COMPANY**

As a company with less than $1.235 billion in revenue during our most recently completed fiscal year, we qualify as an "emerging growth company" as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "**JOBS Act**"). As an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other exemptions from requirements that are otherwise applicable to public companies that are not emerging growth companies. These provisions include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;

· Exemptions from non-binding shareholder advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements;

· Our election under Section 107(b) of the JOBS Act to delay adoption of new or revised accounting standards with different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies; and

· Exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting.

We may take advantage of these exemptions until we cease to be an emerging growth company on the earliest of: (i) the end of the fiscal year in which the fifth anniversary of the effectiveness of our first registration statement under the Securities Act occurred, (ii) at the end of the fiscal year in which our annual revenues exceed $1.235 billion, (iii) the date on which we qualify as a large-accelerated filer under the rules of the SEC, and (iv) the date on which we issue more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt during the previous three-year period.

**CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS**

This prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement contain and incorporate by reference statements that do not directly or exclusively relate to historical facts. These types of statements are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "**Exchange Act**"). Forward-looking statements provide current expectations of future events and include any statement that does not directly relate to any historical or current fact. Words such as "anticipates," "estimates," "expects," "projects," "may," "will," "intends," "plans," "believes," "should" and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements and such forward-looking statements are made based upon management's current expectations, assumptions and beliefs as of this date concerning future developments and their potential effect on us. There can be no assurance that future developments will be in accordance with management's expectations, assumptions or beliefs, or that the effect of future developments on us will be those anticipated by management. Because actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, we caution readers not to place undue reliance on these statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which that statement is made. Vireo Growth assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date on which the statement is made.

The factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations, assumptions and beliefs, include, but are not limited to, the risks described under "*Risk Factors*" and the following:

● Marijuana remains illegal under U.S. federal law.

● U.S. state and local regulation of cannabis is uncertain and changing. New state or local laws may be enacted which affect our product offerings or manufacturing processes.

● Cannabis businesses are subject to applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations and have restricted access to banking and other financial services. Recent events in the banking industry may further restrict our ability to access financial services including obtaining traditional bank financing.

● 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.

● Investors in the Company who are not U.S. citizens may be denied entry into the United States.

● The Company and its merger targets may not integrate successfully and the Company may not be able to successfully execute on its merger strategy.

● It may be challenging for the Company to service the additional indebtedness incurred as a result of the recent mergers.

● Our shareholders may not realize a benefit from the recent mergers commensurate with the ownership dilution they experienced in connection with the mergers.

● The stockholders of Deep Roots Holdings, Inc., the stockholders of WholesomeCo, Inc., and Proper Holdings, LLC in its capacity as the sole shareholders of each of Proper Holdings Management, Inc. and NGH Investments, Inc. and the equityholders of Proper Holdings, LLC and other subsequent recipients of the Company's Subordinate Voting Shares from Proper Holdings, LLC pursuant to the Proper merger agreement, have agreed or will agree to indemnify the Company for certain damages arising from certain of the representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements of each of these entities, respectively, in each case as set forth in the merger agreements. However, there can be no assurance that these indemnities will be sufficient to make the Company whole for the full amount of such damages, or that such indemnifying parties' ability to satisfy their respective indemnification obligation will not be impaired in the future.

● The Company's ability to use net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes may be limited as a result of the mergers.

● We incurred net losses in fiscal years 2024 and 2023, and cannot provide assurance as to when or if we will become profitable and generate cash in our operating activities.

● If additional financing is required to operate our business, we may face difficulties acquiring such additional financing on terms acceptable to us or at all.

● Our senior secured credit facility contains covenant restrictions that may limit our ability to operate our business.

● Servicing our debt will require a significant amount of cash, and we may not have sufficient cash flow from our business to pay our substantial debt.

● We face security risks related to our physical facilities and cash transfers due to the mostly cash nature of the cannabis industry.

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

● We face risks related to our information technology systems, including potential cyber-attacks and security and privacy breaches.

● Our reputation and ability to do business may be negatively impacted by our suppliers' inability to produce and ship products.

● We are dependent on key inputs, suppliers and skilled labor for the cultivation, extraction, and production of cannabis products.

● Our inability to attract and retain key personnel could materially, adversely affect our business.

● We face an inherent risk of product liability claims as a manufacturer, processor and producer of products that are intended to be ingested by people.

● Our intellectual property may be difficult to protect.

● We face intense competition in a new and rapidly growing industry by other licensed companies with more experience and financial resources than we have and by unlicensed, unregulated participants.

● There are risks associated with consolidation of the industry by well-capitalized entrants developing large-scale operations.

● 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.

● The elimination of monetary liability against our directors, officers, and employees under British Columbia law and the existence of indemnification rights for our obligations to our directors, officers, and employees may result in substantial expenditures by us and may discourage lawsuits against our directors, officers, and employees.

● There is doubt as to the ability to enforce judgments in Canada or under Canadian law against U.S. subsidiaries, assets, and experts.

● Additional issuances of Subordinate Voting Shares, or securities convertible into Subordinate Voting Shares, may result in dilution.

● The market price for the Subordinate Voting Shares may continue to be volatile.

● An investor may face liquidity risks with an investment in our Subordinate Voting Shares.

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

● We are subject to Canadian and United States tax on our worldwide income.

● Changes in tax laws may affect the Company and holders of Subordinate Voting Shares.

These and other factors that could cause actual results to differ from those implied by the forward-looking statements in this prospectus are more fully described under the heading "*Item 1A. Risk Factors*" in our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K (the "**Annual Report**"), under the heading "*Risk Factors*" in our definitive information statement on Schedule 14C and in our other filings with the SEC. The risks described under the heading "*Item 1A. Risk Factors*" in our most recently filed Annual Report are not exhaustive. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible to predict all such risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all such risk factors on our business or the extent to which any factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements.

**SUMMARY**

Vireo Growth Inc. is a reporting issuer in Canada, with its securities listed for trading on the CSE under the symbol "VREO" and on the OTCQX under the symbol "VREOF". Vireo Growth is a cannabis company whose mission is to provide safe access, quality products and value to its customers while supporting its local communities through active participation and restorative justice programs. The Company is evolving with the industry and is in the midst of a transformation to being significantly more customer-centric across its operations, which include cultivation, manufacturing, wholesale and retail business lines. With our core operations strategically located in six limited-license medical and adult-use markets, Vireo Growth cultivates and manufactures cannabis products in environmentally friendly greenhouses and other facilities and distributes these products through our growing network of Green Goods™ and other Vireo Growth branded retail dispensaries, as well as third-party dispensaries in the markets in which our subsidiaries hold operating licenses.

As of September 30, 2025, Vireo Growth, through its subsidiaries, has licenses and operates in six states, consisting of Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New York and Utah. Additionally, the Company has non-operating assets and liabilities in Nevada and Massachusetts. As of September 30, 2025, we retail cannabis products in 36 dispensaries located across Maryland (2), Minnesota (8), Missouri (11), Nevada (10) New York (4), and Utah (1) and wholesales cannabis products, through third-party companies, in Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New York and Utah.

Our registered office is located at 1012 West Hastings Street, Suite 2200, Vancouver, British Columbia V6E 0C3. Our head office is located at 207 South Ninth Street, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55402.

**History of the Company**

Our business was established in 2014 as Minnesota Medical Solutions, LLC ("**Minnesota Medical Solutions**"), and we received our first license in December 2014. On January 1, 2018, all the equity of Minnesota Medical Solutions, and Empire State Health Solutions, LLC, was acquired by Vireo Health, Inc. ("**Vireo U.S.**") in an equity interest swap transaction.

The Company was incorporated under the *Business Corporations Act* (Alberta) on November 23, 2004 as a capital pool company under the name "Initial Capital Inc." On May 8, 2007, the Company changed its name to "Digifonica International Inc." following the completion of a qualifying transaction on the TSX Venture Exchange. On December 9, 2013, the Company continued into British Columbia under the name of "Dominion Energy Inc.", subsequently changed its name to "Dynamic Oil & Gas Exploration Inc." on June 30, 2014, and to "Darien Business Development Corp." on March 13, 2017. On March 18, 2019, the Company changed its name to "Vireo Health International, Inc." following the completion of a reverse takeover transaction (the "**RTO"**) with Vireo U.S. pursuant to which the former shareholders of Vireo U.S. acquired control of the Company and continued on with our business.

On June 9, 2021, we changed our name to "Goodness Growth Holdings, Inc." On June 25, 2024 we changed our name to "Vireo Growth Inc."

On May 12, 2025, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of WholesomeCo, Inc., whereby WholesomeCo, Inc. became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. On June 5, 2025, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of Proper Holdings Management, Inc. and NGH Investments, Inc., whereby each of Proper Holdings Management, Inc. and NGH Investments, Inc. became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. On June 6, 2025, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of Deep Roots Holdings, Inc., whereby Deep Roots Holdings, Inc. became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

**Arrangement Agreement**

We and Verano Holdings Inc. ("**Verano**") entered into an Arrangement Agreement dated January 31, 2022, later amended on June 22, 2022 (combined, the "**Arrangement Agreement**"). Pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, Verano agreed, among other things, to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Vireo.

We received notice from Verano on October 13, 2022, of Verano's purported termination of the Arrangement Agreement. We believe that Verano has no factual or legal basis to justify or support its purported grounds for termination of the Arrangement Agreement, and on October 13, 2022, we commenced an action in the Supreme Court of British Columbia against Verano.

On October 29, 2025, the Company reached a comprehensive settlement (the "**Settlement Agreement**") dismissing all outstanding litigation matters between the Company and Verano that are pending before the Supreme Court of British Columbia, Canada. The terms of the Settlement Agreement were approved by the respective Boards of Directors of both Companies. The value of the settlement to the Company is approximately $10,000,000 consisting of the acquisition of real property and $1,000,000 in cash.

**Credit Bid for Schwazze Assets**

In connection with the acquisition of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of 13% Senior Secured Convertible Notes due December 7, 2026 (the "**Senior Secured Notes**") of Schwazze, Vireo Health of Colorado, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a restructuring support agreement (the "**RSA**") with Schwazze and certain related entities on October 10, 2025.

The RSA sets forth a plan to restructure the operations and capital structure of Schwazze and its subsidiaries through a series of transactions, including, but not limited to (i) the purchase of certain assets representing a majority of the total assets of Schwazze and its subsidiaries (the "**Asset Sale**") by a newly-formed entity ("**NewCo**") to ultimately be majority owned by the Company, and (ii) the liquidation of Schwazze's remaining assets and winding down of Schwazze's remaining operations.

The RSA provided for the Asset Sale to be effected by way of public disposition of collateral pursuant to §§ 9-610 and 9-611 of the Uniform Commercial Code. On November 13, 2025, the Asset Sale took place and the collateral agent under the indenture governing the Senior Secured Notes, acting at the direction of the Company, credit bid approximately $111 million principal amount of Senior Secured Notes (the "**Credit Bid**"). The Company's Credit Bid was the winning bid at the Asset Sale. Following its win of the Credit Bid, Schwazze entered into an asset purchase agreement with NewCo on November 13, 2025, pursuant to which, subject to receipt of regulatory approvals and other closing conditions, the assets subject to the Asset Sale will be transferred to NewCo in consideration for an assumption by NewCo of certain specified liabilities of Schwazze and a discharge of the Senior Secured Notes included in the Credit Bid. At the closing of the Asset Sale, the equity interests in Newco will be distributed by the collateral agent to the holders of the Senior Secured Notes and certain other parties.

Our mission is to provide patients and consumers with best-in-class cannabis products and expert advice, informed by medicine and science. We also are seeking to develop intellectual property that is complementary to our mission, including novel product formulations, novel delivery systems and harm-mitigation processes.

We have developed proprietary cannabis strains, cultivation methods, carbon dioxide extraction, ethanol extraction, and other processes related to the production, refinement, and packaging of cannabis products. We have documented the relevant processes in the form of standard operating procedures and work instructions, which are only shared with third parties when absolutely required and then only upon receipt of written non-disclosure agreements.

We have sought and continue to seek to protect our trademark and service mark rights. Because the cultivation, processing, possession, transport and sale of cannabis and cannabis-related products remain illegal under the Controlled Substances Act (as defined below) we are not able to fully protect our intellectual property at the federal level. As a result, we have sought and continue to seek federal registrations in limited classes of goods and services and have obtained several state registrations.

***The Cannabis Industry and Business Lines of the Company***

According to market research projections by cannabis researcher Brightfield Group, U.S. sales of legal cannabis are expected to reach over $50 billion by 2026.

As described further below, United States federal law now bifurcates the legality of "hemp" (defined as any part of the Cannabis sativa L plant —including any seeds, derivatives, extracts, cannabinoids, isomers, acids, salts and salts of isomers thereof, whether growing or not —with a tetrahydrocannabinol ("**THC**") concentration of less than 0.3% on a dry weight basis) from "marihuana" (also commonly known as "marijuana"). For purposes of this filing, the term "cannabis" means "marihuana" as set forth in the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. § 811) (the "**Controlled Substances Act**") and is used interchangeably with the term "marijuana."

To date, in the United States, medical cannabis has been legalized in 40 states, three territories, and the District of Columbia, while 24 states, three territories and the District of Columbia have approved cannabis for recreational use by adults (also known as "adult-use").

We strive to meet best-in-class health, safety and quality standards relating to the growth, production and sale of cannabis medicines, and consumer products. Our offerings include cannabis flower, cannabis oil, cannabis topicals, orally ingestible tablets and capsules, and vaporizer pens and cartridges.

We are a vertically integrated cannabis company that operates from "seed-to-sale." We have three business lines:

i. <u>Cultivation</u>: We grow cannabis in outdoor, indoor and greenhouse facilities. Our expertise in growing enables us to produce award-winning and proprietary strains in a cost-effective manner. We sell our products in company-owned or -managed dispensaries and to third parties where lawful.

ii. <u>Production</u>: We convert cannabis biomass into formulated oil using a variety of extraction techniques. Some of this oil is used to produce consumer products such as vaporizer cartridges and edibles, and some is sold to third parties in jurisdictions where this practice is lawful.

iii. <u>Retail Dispensaries</u>: We operate retail dispensaries that sell proprietary and, where lawful, third-party cannabis products to retail customers and patients.

***Cultivation Facilities***

We have rights to operate cultivation facilities in six states. Although pricing pressure for dried flower in several mature cannabis markets has led some operators to eschew cultivation, in certain markets the transition from medical-only to adult-use cannabis has increased wholesale market prices significantly. We believe that our cultivation operations provide certain other benefits, including:

i. <u>Low Cost</u>: We continually seek ways to optimize our growing processes and minimize expenses. By having control over our own cultivation, we can reduce input costs and maximize margins. We believe that production at scale is critical to drive down unit cost.

ii. <u>Product Availability</u>: Control over our cultivation facilities allows us to monitor and update the product mix in our dispensaries to meet evolving demand, particularly regarding strain selection and diversity.

iii. <u>Quality Assurance</u>: Quality and safety are critically important to us and our customers. Controlling our growing processes greatly reduces the risk of plant contamination or infestation, and we believe that consistently high-quality products can demand higher retail prices.

Our focus on quality, potency, strain diversity and scalable production is vital because we believe that the wholesale market for cannabis plant material will become increasingly price-competitive over time as more companies enter this industry segment. We believe that manufacturers and retailers that source high-quality, low-cost plant material will have a significant advantage in the medium and long term.

***Cultivation and Production Facilities***

Except for our bifurcated cultivation-only and production-only facilities in Maryland and a cultivation-only facility in Nevada (in addition to a combined cultivation and production facility) and a cultivation-only facility in Utah (in addition to a combined cultivation and production facility), we operate combined cultivation and production facilities. Each cultivation and production facility focuses primarily on the development of cannabis products and dried cannabis plant material for medical and other consumer use, as well as the research and development of new strains of cannabis. At all our facilities, we focus on consumer safety and maintaining strict quality control. The methods we employ result in consistent production of high-quality products and minimize product recalls and complaints from patients and adult-use customers.

Our cultivation business line operates year-round, although operations and sales trends in select markets exhibit seasonal fluctuations. In some regions, outdoor cultivation opportunities arise seasonally, and sales may be impacted during summer and winter months. Additionally, promotional activity often increases around specific industry events and holidays, including April 20, July 10 and Green Wednesday (the Wednesday before Thanksgiving).

We operate the following cultivation and production facilities as of the close of business on September 30, 2025:

---

***Retail Strategy***

We have invested substantial resources in developing customer-friendly store designs and floorplans. In 2020, we began constructing new dispensaries using a modern layout and refreshed color scheme tied to the Green Goods™ trademark, and we have also been converting existing dispensaries to this new theme.

Members of our management team have experience in real estate development, which has enabled us to secure premium locations for some of our dispensaries. We typically target locations with high foot traffic, good visibility, and proximity to densely populated residential areas. We also elevate factors such as location characteristics, vehicular traffic, local demographics, and competitor proximity when selecting retail locations.

***Principal Business Objectives***

Our principal business objectives over the next 12-month period include achieving positive operating cash flow through cost discipline, operational excellence, and product quality; improving the quality and efficiency of flower production in Maryland and Minnesota; pursuing non-core asset divestitures; managing the balance sheet with capital partners to grow into being a strong credit.

***Employees and Human Capital Resources***

As of September 30, 2025 we had 499 employees, 412 of whom were full time employees. Certain of our employees in Maryland, Minnesota and New York are represented by local offices of the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union ("**UFCW**"). The collective bargaining agreements with the employees in these states expire or expired as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| State | Agreement Expiration |
| Maryland | October 31, 2027 |
| Minnesota | November 22, 2026 |
| New York (Security) | October 31, 2027 |
| New York (non-drivers) | October 31, 2027 |
| New York (drivers) | December 31, 2024 |

---

Our collective bargaining agreements in New York (drivers) and Maryland have expired and negotiations are in progress. We anticipate a resolution and consider our overall relationships with our employees, UFCW, and Local 811 to be positive.

Our human capital objectives focus on attracting, developing, retaining, and engaging a talented workforce. Our compensation program is designed to be competitive and aligned with both individual and company performance. We are committed to fostering a collaborative and results-driven culture that supports the execution of our strategic goals.

***Research and Development***

Our former research and development activities primarily focused on developing new, innovative, and patent-protectable products for the cannabis market. These efforts have focused on novel cannabinoid formulations as well as accessory products designed to improve the cannabis consumption experience. We also experimented with plant spacing and nutrient blends, cannabis variety trialing and improved pest management techniques. We also engaged in research and development activities focused on developing new extracted or infused products.

***Patents and Trademarks***

We hold six (6) patents and have a number of other patents pending with the United States Patent and Trademark Office ("**USPTO**").

We have successfully registered the trademarks Vireo Health®, Green Goods®, and 1937® with the USPTO.

***Competitive Conditions and Position***

Historically, Vireo U.S. won licenses in competitive, merit-based selection processes through wholly-owned subsidiary applicants. We pursued opportunities in limited license markets with higher barriers to entry presenting an opportunity for higher returns or the development of strategic opportunities.

The industry is highly competitive with many operators, including large multi-state operators and smaller regional and local enterprises. We face competition from other companies that have greater resources, enhanced access to public equity and debt markets, superior cultivation and manufacturing capabilities, lower operating costs, better-located retail facilities, more experienced management, or that may be more mature as businesses. There are several multi-state operators that we compete directly with in some of our operating markets. Aside from current direct competition, other operators that are sufficiently capitalized to enter the Company's markets through new licensure or acquisitive growth are also considered potential competitors. Similarly, if and to the extent we continue to enter new markets, we will encounter new direct competitors.

**Note Purchase Agreements**

We issued 114,807,815 Subordinate Voting Shares to several Noteholders pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreements dated as of October 2, 2025. The Subordinate Voting Shares were issued at a price of $0.54 per Subordinate Voting Share for a total consideration under the Note Purchase Agreements of approximately $62.0 million. Under the terms of the Note Purchase Agreements, we agreed to register for resale 114,807,815 Subordinate Voting Shares and this prospectus covers such resale by the Selling Securityholders.

Investing in our Subordinate Voting Shares involves risk. Prior to making a decision about investing in our Subordinate Voting Shares, you should carefully consider the risk factors contained in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, which are incorporated by reference herein, and the other information contained in this prospectus, as updated by our subsequent filings under the Exchange Act, and the risk factors and other information contained in the applicable prospectus supplement or any free writing prospectus. The risks and uncertainties we have described are not the only risks that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our operations. These risks, both known or unknown, could materially affect our business, results of operations or financial condition and cause the value of our Subordinate Voting Shares to decline. You could lose all or part of your investment.

**Risks Related to the Resales by Selling Securityholders**

***Sales of substantial amounts of Subordinate Voting Shares by a Selling Securityholder, or the perception that sales could occur, could adversely affect the price of our Subordinate Voting Shares.***

The sale by the Selling Securityholders of a significant number of Subordinate Voting Shares could have a material adverse effect on the market price of our Subordinate Voting Shares. In addition, the perception in the public markets that the Selling Securityholders may sell all or a portion of their Subordinate Voting Shares as a result of the registration of such Subordinate Voting Shares for resale pursuant to this prospectus could also in and of itself have a material adverse effect on the market price of our Subordinate Voting Shares. We cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of those Subordinate Voting Shares or the availability of those Subordinate Voting Shares for sale will have on the market price of our Subordinate Voting Shares.

**USE OF PROCEEDS**

We are not selling Subordinate Voting Shares under this prospectus and we will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale or other disposition of our Subordinate Voting Shares by the Selling Securityholders. The Selling Securityholders will receive all of the proceeds from this offering. The Selling Securityholders will pay any underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses incurred by them for brokerage, accounting, tax or legal services or any other expenses incurred by the Selling Securityholders in disposing of the Subordinate Voting Shares. We will bear all other costs, fees and expenses incurred in effecting the registration of the Subordinate Voting Shares covered by this prospectus, including all registration and filing fees, and fees and expenses for our counsel and our independent registered public accountants.

**DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK**

**Description of the Company's Securities**

The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Subordinate Voting Shares, an unlimited number of multiple voting shares (the "**Multiple Voting Shares**") and an unlimited number of super voting shares (the "**Super Voting Shares**").

The total number of equity shares assuming all Multiple Voting Shares are converted into Subordinate Voting Shares would be 949,862,009.

Our Articles, which are incorporated by reference into the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, provide further information regarding our securities and qualify the summary in this prospectus in its entirety.

**Subordinate Voting Shares**

*Notice and Voting Rights*. Holders of Subordinate Voting Shares are entitled to notice of and to attend at any meeting of the shareholders of the Company, except a meeting of which only holders of another particular class or series of shares of the Company 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, the Company 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 the Company. The majority of votes required to pass a special resolution at a meeting of holders of Subordinate Voting Shares is two-thirds of the votes cast on the resolution.

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

*Liquidation Rights*. In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, or in the event of any other distribution of assets of the Company among its shareholders for the purpose of winding up its affairs, the holders of Subordinate Voting Shares will, subject to the prior rights of the holders of any shares of the Company ranking in priority to the Subordinate Voting Shares, be entitled to participate ratably along with all other holders of 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, if any, 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 (as defined below) then in effect 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 under the offer, and for no other reason. In such event, the Company's transfer agent for the Subordinate Voting Shares shall deposit under the offer 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, withdrawn or terminated by the offeror or the offer otherwise expires without such Multiple Voting Shares being taken up and paid for, the Multiple Voting Shares resulting from the conversion shall be automatically reconverted, without further intervention on the part of the Company or on the part of the holder, into Subordinate Voting Shares at the Conversion Ratio then in effect.

*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 or such other adjustment is made, so as to maintain and preserve the relative rights of the holders of the shares of each of the said classes.

*Redemption Rights*. The Company is, subject to certain conditions, entitled to redeem Subordinate Voting Shares, Multiple Voting Shares or Super Voting Shares, as applicable, held by certain shareholders in order to permit the Company to comply with applicable licensing regulations. These redemption rights are applicable to each class of shares in the Company.

The purpose of the redemption right is to provide the Company with a means of protecting itself from having a shareholder (or a group of persons who the Board of Directors reasonably believes are acting jointly or in concert) (an "**Unsuitable Person**") with an ownership interest of, whether of record or beneficially (or having the power to exercise control or direction over), five percent (5%) or more of the issued and outstanding Company Shares (calculated on as-converted to Subordinate Voting Shares basis), who a governmental authority granting licenses to the Company (including to any subsidiary) has determined to be unsuitable to own shares, or whose ownership of Shares may result in the loss, suspension or revocation (or similar action) with respect to any licenses relating to the conduct of the Company's business relating to the cultivation, processing and dispensing of cannabis and cannabis-derived products in the United States or in the Company being unable to obtain any new licenses in the normal course, including, but not limited to, as a result of such person's failure to apply for a suitability review from or to otherwise fail to comply with the requirements of a governmental authority, as determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion after consultation with legal counsel and, if a license application has been filed, after consultation with the applicable governmental authority.

Pursuant to the Articles, the Company has a right, but not the obligation, at its option, to redeem Subordinate Voting Shares held by an Unsuitable Person at a redemption price per share, unless otherwise required by any governmental authority, equal to the Unsuitable Person Redemption Price (as defined below).

A redemption notice may be delivered by the Company to any Unsuitable Person setting forth: (i) the redemption date, (ii) the number of Shares to be redeemed, (iii) the formula pursuant to which the redemption price will be determined and the manner of payment therefor, (iv) the place where such Shares (or certificate thereto, as applicable) will be surrendered for payment, duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by proper instruments of transfer, (v) a copy of the Valuation Opinion (as defined below) if the Company is no longer listed on the CSE or another recognized securities exchange, and (vi) any other requirement of surrender of the redeemed shares. The redemption notice will be sent to the Unsuitable Person not less than 30 trading days prior to the redemption date, except as otherwise provided below. The Company will send a written notice confirming the amount of the redemption price as soon as possible following the determination of such redemption price. The redemption notice may be conditional such that the Company need not redeem Shares on the redemption date if the Board of Directors determines, in its sole discretion, that such redemption is no longer advisable or necessary.

For purposes of the foregoing, "**Unsuitable Person Redemption Price**" means: (i) in the case of Subordinate Voting Shares, the volume-weighted average trading price of Subordinate Voting Shares during the five (5) trading day period immediately after the date of the redemption notice on the CSE or other national or regional securities exchange on which Subordinate Voting Shares are listed; (ii) in the case of Multiple Voting Shares or Super Voting Shares, the amount determined under (i) multiplied by the Conversion Ratio in effect at the time the redemption notice is delivered, or (iii) if no such quotations are available, the fair market value per share of such Subordinate Voting Shares and/or Multiple Voting Shares as set forth in a valuation and fairness opinion (the "Valuation Opinion") from an investment banking firm of nationally recognized standing in Canada (qualified to perform such task and which is disinterested in the contemplated redemption and has not in the then past two years provided services for a fee to the Company or its affiliates) or a disinterested nationally recognized accounting firm.

The redemption date will be not less than 30 trading days from the date of the redemption notice unless a governmental authority requires that Shares be redeemed as of an earlier date, in which case the redemption date will be such earlier date, and if there is an outstanding redemption notice, the Company will issue an amended redemption notice reflecting the new redemption date forthwith.

From and after the date the redemption notice is delivered, an Unsuitable Person owning Shares called for redemption will cease to have any voting rights. From and after the redemption date, any and all rights of any nature which may be held by an Unsuitable Person with respect to such person's Shares will cease and, thereafter, the Unsuitable Person will be entitled only to receive the redemption price, without interest, on the redemption date; provided, however, that if any such Shares come to be owned solely by persons other than an Unsuitable Person (such as by transfer of such Shares to a liquidating trust, subject to the approval of any applicable governmental authority), such persons may exercise voting rights of such Shares and the Board of Directors may determine, in its sole discretion, not to redeem such Shares.

*Following redemption, the redeemed Shares will be cancelled.*

The Company may fund the redemption price, which may be substantial in amount in certain circumstances, from its existing cash resources, the incurrence of indebtedness, the issuance of additional securities including debt securities, the issuance of a promissory note issued to the Unsuitable Person, any other means permitted by applicable law or a combination of the foregoing sources of funding. To the extent required by applicable laws, the Company may deduct and withhold any tax from the redemption price. To the extent any amounts are so withheld and are timely remitted to the applicable governmental authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes as having been paid to the person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

A person (or group of persons acting jointly or in concert) will be prohibited from acquiring or disposing of five percent (5%) or more of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company (calculated on an as-converted to Subordinate Voting Share basis), directly or indirectly, in one or more transactions, without providing 15 days' advance written notice to the Company by mail sent to the Company's registered office to the attention of the corporate secretary. The foregoing restriction will not apply to the ownership, acquisition or disposition of shares as a result of: (i) a transfer of the Company Shares occurring by operation of law including, inter alia, the transfer of the Company Shares to a trustee in bankruptcy, (ii) an acquisition or proposed acquisition by one or more underwriters or portfolio managers who hold the Company Shares for the purposes of distribution to the public or for the benefit of a third party, provided that such third party is in compliance with the foregoing restriction, or (iii) a conversion, exchange or exercise of securities of the Company, duly issued or granted by the Company, into or for Subordinate Voting Shares in accordance with their respective terms. If the Board reasonably believes that any such holder of the Company Shares may have failed to comply with the foregoing restrictions, the Company may apply to the Supreme Court of British Columbia, or such other court of competent jurisdiction, for an order directing that such shareholder disclose the number of the Company Shares held.

**Multiple Voting Shares**

*Notice and Voting Rights*. Holders of Multiple Voting Shares are entitled to notice of and to attend any meeting of the shareholders of the Company, except a meeting of which only holders of another particular class or series of shares of the Company 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, the Company will not, without the consent of the holders of the Multiple Voting Shares and Super Voting Shares by separate special resolution, prejudice or interfere with any right attached to the Multiple Voting Shares. Consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Multiple Voting Shares and 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 Multiple Voting Shares. In connection with the exercise of the voting rights discussed in this paragraph, each holder of Multiple Voting Shares will have one vote in respect of each Multiple Voting Share held. 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 Subordinate Voting Shares, or bonds, debentures or other securities of the Company.

*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 on an as-converted to Subordinate Voting Share basis. No dividend will be declared or paid on the Multiple Voting Shares unless the Company simultaneously declares or pays, as applicable, equivalent dividends (on an as-converted to Subordinate Voting Share basis) on the Subordinate Voting Shares and Super Voting Shares.

*Liquidation Rights*. In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, or in the event of any other distribution of assets of the Company among its shareholders for the purpose of winding up its affairs, the holders of Multiple Voting Shares will, subject to the prior rights of the holders of any shares of the Company 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 (the "**Conversion Ratio**"), subject to customary adjustments for certain corporate changes. The ability to convert the Multiple Voting Shares is subject to a restriction that a holder of Multiple Voting Shares may not convert their shares if after giving effect to such conversion, the holder, together with the holder's affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the number of Subordinate Voting Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Subordinate Voting Shares issuable upon conversion of the Multiple Voting Shares subject to the conversion. Upon notice to the Company, a holder of Multiple Voting Shares may increase or decrease the foregoing limitation, provided the holder would not own in excess of 19.99% of the number of Subordinate Voting Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Subordinate Voting Shares upon conversion of Multiple Voting Shares subject to the conversion. Any increase in the limitation is not effective until the 61<sup>st</sup> day after the notice is delivered to the Company.

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, if any, 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 Subordinate Voting Shares under the offer, and for no other reason. In such event, the Company's transfer agent shall deposit under the offer the resulting Subordinate Voting Shares on behalf of the holder. 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, withdrawn or terminated by the offeror or the offer otherwise expires without such Subordinate Voting Shares being taken up and paid for, the Subordinate Voting Shares resulting from the conversion shall be automatically reconverted, without further intervention on the part of the Company or on the part of the holder, into Multiple Voting Shares at the inverse of the Conversion Ratio then in effect.

*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 or such other adjustment is made, so as to maintain and preserve the relative rights of the holders of the shares of each of the said classes.

*Redemption Rights*. The Company is, subject to certain conditions, entitled to redeem Subordinate Voting Shares, Multiple Voting Shares or Super Voting Shares, as applicable, held by certain shareholders in order to permit the Company to comply with applicable licensing regulations. These redemption rights are applicable to each class of shares in the Company. See "*Subordinate Voting Shares – Redemption Rights*".

**CERTAIN CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS**

The following summarizes certain principal Canadian federal income tax consequences applicable to the acquisition, holding, and disposition of Subordinate Voting Shares by a holder who (1) is not, and is not deemed to be, a resident of Canada for the purposes of the *Income Tax Act* (Canada) and the Income Tax Regulations (collectively, the "**Tax Act**"), (2) deals at arm's length with the Company and is not affiliated with the Company in each case for purpose of the Tax Act, (3) holds and beneficially owns such Subordinate Voting Shares solely as capital property, (4) does not use or hold, and is not deemed to use or hold, the Subordinate Voting Shares in connection with a business carried on, or deemed to be carried on, in Canada, and (5) has not entered into, with respect to the Subordinate Voting Shares, a "derivative forward agreement", as that term is defined in the Tax Act , referred to in this summary as a "U.S. Holder".

This summary is not applicable to a U.S. Holder that is (i) an insurer carrying on an insurance business in Canada and elsewhere, or (ii) an "authorized foreign bank" (as defined in the Tax Act) or (iii) another U.S. Holder of special status. Such U.S. Holders should consult their own Tax Advisors.

This summary is based on the current provisions of the Tax Act, and an understanding of the current administrative policies of the Canada Revenue Agency published in writing prior to the date hereof. It takes into account all specific proposals to amend the Tax Act and the Convention Between Canada and the United States of America with Respect to Taxes on Income and on Capital, signed September 26, 1980, as amended (the "**Canada-U.S. Tax Convention**"), publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof, referred to as the "Proposed Amendments" and assumes that all Proposed Amendments will be enacted in the form proposed. However, no assurances can be given that the Proposed Amendments will be enacted as proposed, or at all. Except as otherwise expressly provided, this summary does not take into account any provincial, territorial or foreign (including without limitation, any United States) tax law or treaty.

**This summary is of a general nature only and is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any specific purchaser, and no representations with respect to the income tax consequences to any purchaser are made. Holders of Subordinate Voting Shares should consult their own tax advisors for advice with respect to the tax consequences to them of holding and disposing of such shares, having regard to their particular circumstances.**

**Each U.S. Holder is advised to obtain tax and legal advice applicable to such U.S. Holder's particular circumstances.**

***Currency Conversion***

In general, for purposes of the Tax Act, all amounts relating to the acquisition, holding or disposition of the Subordinate Voting Shares must be converted into Canadian dollars based on the applicable exchange rate quoted by the Bank of Canada for the relevant day or such other rate of exchange that is acceptable to the Canada Revenue Agency.

***Dividends***

Dividends paid or credited on the Subordinate Voting Shares or deemed to be paid or credited on the Subordinate Voting Shares to a U.S. Holder will be subject to Canadian withholding tax at the rate of 25%. Under the Canada-U.S. Tax Convention, where dividends on the Subordinate Voting Shares are considered to be paid to or derived by a U.S. Holder that is a beneficial owner of the dividends and is a U.S. resident for the purposes of, and is entitled to benefits of, the Canada-U.S. Tax Convention, the applicable rate of Canadian withholding tax is generally reduced to 15%. If the U.S. Holder is a company that is a resident of the U.S. for purposes of, and is eligible for and entitled to benefits under, the Canada-U.S. Tax Convention, and that owns at least 10% of the voting stock of the Company and beneficially owns the dividend, the rate of withholding tax is 5% for dividends paid or credited to such corporate U.S. Holder. The Company is required to withhold the applicable tax from the dividend payable to the U.S. Holder, and to remit the tax to the Receiver General of Canada for the account of the U.S. Holder.

***Disposition of Subordinate Voting Shares***

A U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act in respect of a capital gain realized on the disposition or deemed disposition of a Subordinate Voting Shares unless such securities constitute "taxable Canadian property" of the U.S. Holder for purposes of the Tax Act and the gain is not exempt from tax pursuant to the terms of the Canada-U.S. Tax Convention.

Provided that the Subordinate Voting Shares are listed on a "designated stock exchange" for purposes of the Tax Act at the time of disposition, the Subordinate Voting Shares generally will not constitute "taxable Canadian property" of a U.S. Holder, unless at any time during the 60 month period immediately preceding the disposition: (i) the U.S. Holder, persons with whom the U.S. Holder did not deal at "arm's length" for the purposes of the Tax Act, partnerships in which the U.S. Holder or a person with whom the U.S. Holder did not deal at "arm's length" for the purposes of the Tax Act holds a membership interest directly or indirectly through one or more partnerships, or the U.S. Holder together with all such persons, owned 25% or more of the issued shares of any class of the Company and; (ii) more than 50% of the fair market value of the Subordinate Voting Shares was derived directly or indirectly from one or any combination of real or immovable property situated in Canada, "Canadian resource properties" (as defined in the Tax Act), "timber resource properties" (as defined in the Tax Act), or options in respect of, or interests in, or for civil law rights in, such property whether or not such property exists. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Subordinate Voting Shares may otherwise in certain circumstances be deemed to be taxable Canadian property to a U.S. Holder for the purposes of the Tax Act.

Even if a Subordinate Voting Share is considered to be "taxable Canadian property" to a U.S. Holder, the U.S. Holder may be exempt from tax under the Tax Act if such securities are "treaty-protected property" for the purposes of the Tax Act. Subordinate Voting Shares owned by a U.S. Holder will generally be "treaty-protected property" if the gain from the disposition of such securities would, because of the Canada-U.S. Tax Convention, be exempt from tax under Part I of the Tax Act.

U.S. Holders who may hold Subordinate Voting Shares as "taxable Canadian property" should consult their own tax advisors.

**CERTAIN UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS**

The following discussion is a summary of the U.S. federal income tax considerations generally applicable to the ownership and disposition of the Subordinate Voting Shares. This summary is based upon U.S. federal income tax law as of the date of this prospectus, which is subject to change or differing interpretations, possibly with retroactive effect. This summary does not discuss all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be important to particular investors in light of their individual circumstances, including investors subject to special tax rules (including, but not limited to, financial institutions, insurance companies, broker-dealers or traders in securities or currencies, tax-exempt organizations (including private foundations), individual retirement accounts or qualified pension plans, taxpayers that have elected mark-to-market accounting, S corporations, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, U.S. expatriates (or former long-term residents of the United States), investors that will hold the Subordinate Voting Shares as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion, or other integrated transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes, investors that have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar, or persons subject to special tax accounting rules as a result of any item of gross income with respect to the Subordinate Voting Shares being taken into account in an applicable financial statement), all of whom may be subject to tax rules that differ materially from those summarized below. In addition, this summary does not discuss other U.S. federal tax consequences (e.g., estate or gift tax), any state, local, or non-U.S. tax considerations or the Medicare tax or alternative minimum tax. In addition, this summary is limited to investors that will hold the Subordinate Voting Shares as "capital assets" (generally, property held for investment) under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "**Code**"), and that acquired the Subordinate Voting Shares pursuant to this prospectus. No ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the "**IRS**") has been or will be sought regarding any matter discussed herein. No assurance can be given that the IRS would not assert, or that a court would not sustain a position contrary to any of the tax aspects set forth below.

For purposes of this summary, a "**U.S. Holder**" is a beneficial holder of Subordinate Voting Shares who or that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes is:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· an individual who is a United States citizen
or resident of the United States;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· a corporation or other entity treated as a corporation
for United States federal income tax purposes created in, or organized under the laws of, the United States, any state thereof or the
District of Columbia;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· an estate the income of which is includible in
gross income for United States federal income tax purposes regardless of its source; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· a trust (A) the administration of which
is subject to the primary supervision of a United States court and which has one or more United States persons (within the meaning of
the Code) who have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (B) that has in effect a valid election under
applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations to be treated as a United States person.

A "**Non-U.S. Holder**" is a beneficial holder of the Subordinate Voting Shares who or that is neither a U.S. Holder nor a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

If a partnership (including an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds the Subordinate Voting Shares, the tax treatment of a partner, member or other beneficial owner in such partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner, member or other beneficial owner, the activities of the partnership and certain determinations made at the partner, member or other beneficial owner level. An investor that is a partner, member or other beneficial owner of a partnership holding the Subordinate Voting Shares is urged to consult the investor's own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of the Subordinate Voting Shares.

THIS DISCUSSION OF U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS IS FOR GENERAL INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY AND IS NOT TAX ADVICE. THE COMPANY URGES PROSPECTIVE HOLDERS TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF OWNING AND DISPOSING OF THE SUBORDINATE VOTING SHARES, AS WELL AS THE APPLICATION OF ANY, STATE, LOCAL AND NON-U.S. INCOME, ESTATE AND OTHER TAX CONSIDERATIONS.

**U.S. Tax Classification of the Company**

Pursuant to Section 7874(b) of the Code and the U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, notwithstanding that the Company has been organized under Canadian law, solely for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Company will be classified as a U.S. domestic corporation. Accordingly, the Company will be subject to a number of significant and complicated U.S. federal income tax consequences as a result of being treated as a U.S. domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and will be subject to taxation both in Canada and the United States which could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations.

**Taxation of U.S. Holders**

**Distributions on Subordinate Voting Shares**

If the Company makes distributions with respect to a Subordinate Voting Share, the distributions generally will be treated as U.S. source dividends to a U.S. Holder of a Subordinate Voting Share to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles at the end of the tax year in which the distribution occurs. To the extent the distributions exceed the Company's current and accumulated earnings and profits, the excess will be treated first as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of the U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in the Subordinate Voting Share, and thereafter as gain from the sale or exchange of that Subordinate Voting Share. Corporate U.S. Holders may be entitled to claim the dividends-received deduction with respect to dividends paid on the Subordinate Voting Shares and such dividends may constitute qualified dividend income to individual U.S. Holders, subject in each case to applicable restrictions and eligibility requirements.

Dividends on the Subordinate Voting Shares will not constitute foreign source income for U.S. foreign tax credit limitation purposes because the Company, even though organized as a Canadian corporation, will be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as described above under "—U.S. Tax Classification of the Company." Therefore, a U.S. Holder may not be able to claim a U.S. foreign tax credit for any Canadian tax unless the U.S. Holder has sufficient other foreign source income.

**Sale or Other Taxable Disposition of Subordinate Voting Shares**

Upon the sale or other taxable disposition of a Subordinate Voting Share, U.S. Holders generally will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized by such holders on the disposition and their adjusted tax basis in such Subordinate Voting Share. Such gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder held such a Subordinate Voting Share for more than one year as of the time of disposition. Long-term capital gains of individuals are eligible for reduced rates of taxation. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

To the extent a sale or other taxable disposition of the Subordinate Voting Shares by a U.S. Holder results in Canadian tax payable by the U.S. Holder, such U.S. Holder may not be able to claim a U.S. foreign tax credit for any Canadian tax unless the U.S. Holder has sufficient other foreign source income.

**Foreign Currency**

The amount of any distribution paid to a U.S. Holder in foreign currency, or the amount of proceeds paid in foreign currency on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of Subordinate Voting Shares, generally will be equal to the U.S. dollar value of such foreign currency based on the exchange rate applicable on the date of receipt (regardless of whether such foreign currency is converted into U.S. dollars at that time). A U.S. Holder will have a basis in the foreign currency equal to its U.S. dollar value on the date of receipt. Any U.S. Holder who converts or otherwise disposes of the foreign currency after the date of receipt may have a foreign currency exchange gain or loss that would be treated as ordinary income or loss, and generally will be U.S. source income or loss for foreign tax credit purposes. Different rules apply to U.S. Holders who use the accrual method of tax accounting. Each U.S. Holder should consult its own U.S. tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of receiving, owning, and disposing of foreign currency.

**Information Reporting and Backup Withholding**

In general, information reporting requirements may apply to dividends paid to a U.S. Holder and to the proceeds of the sale or other disposition of the Subordinate Voting Shares, unless the U.S. Holder is an exempt recipient. Backup withholding may apply to such payments if the U.S. Holder fails to provide a taxpayer identification number (generally, on a properly completed IRS Form W-9) or a certification of exempt status, or has been notified by the IRS that it is subject to backup withholding (and such notification has not been withdrawn). Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against the U.S. Holder's U.S. federal income tax liability, provided that the holder timely furnishes the required information to the IRS.

**Taxation of Non-U.S. Holders**

**Distributions on Subordinate Voting Shares**

If the Company makes distributions with respect to a Subordinate Voting Share, the distributions generally will be treated as dividends to a Non-U.S. Holder of a Subordinate Voting Share to the extent of the Company's current and accumulated earnings and profits as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles at the end of the tax year in which the distribution occurs. To the extent the distributions exceed the Company's current and accumulated earnings and profits, the excess will be treated first as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of the Non-U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in the Subordinate Voting Share, and thereafter as gain from the sale or exchange of that Subordinate Voting Share.

Dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder generally will be subject to U.S. withholding tax at a rate of 30% of the gross amount, unless the Non-U.S. Holder is eligible for and properly claims a reduced rate of withholding under an applicable income tax treaty. However, dividends that are effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business by the Non-U.S. Holder within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a United States permanent establishment of the Non-U.S. Holder) will not be subject to U.S. withholding tax, provided certain certification and disclosure requirements are satisfied. Instead, such dividends are subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis in the same manner as if the Non-U.S. Holder were a United States person, as defined under the Code. Any such effectively connected dividends received by a foreign corporation may be subject to an additional "branch profits tax" equal to 30% of its effectively connected earnings and profits (subject to certain adjustments) or at such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty. A Non-U.S. Holder eligible for a reduced rate of U.S. withholding tax pursuant to an income tax treaty may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS.

**Gain on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Subordinate Voting Shares**

Subject to the discussions below under "Taxation of Non-U.S. Holders—Information Reporting and Backup Withholding," and "Taxation of Non-U.S. Holders—Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act", a Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax in respect of gain recognized on a sale, taxable exchange or other taxable disposition of a Subordinate Voting Share, unless:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the gain is effectively connected with the conduct
of a trade or business by the Non-U.S. Holder within the United States (and, if an applicable tax treaty so requires, is attributable
to a U.S. permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the Non-U.S. Holder);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the Non-U.S. Holder is an individual who is present
in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of disposition and certain other conditions are met; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the Company is or has been a United States real
property holding corporation ()"**USRPHC**") for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time during the shorter of the
five-year period ending on the date of disposition or the period that the Non-U.S. Holder held the Subordinate Voting Share, and, in the
case where the Company's shares are regularly traded on an established securities market, the Non-U.S. Holder has owned, directly
or constructively, more than 5% of our shares at any time within the shorter of the five-year period preceding the disposition or such
Non-U.S. Holder's holding period for the Subordinate Voting Share. There can be no assurance that Subordinate Voting Shares will
be treated as regularly traded on an established securities market for this purpose.

Gain described in the first bullet point above will be subject to tax at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates. Any gains described in the first bullet point above of a Non-U.S. Holder that is a foreign corporation may also be subject to an additional "branch profits tax" at a 30% rate (or lower applicable treaty rate). Gain described in the second bullet point above generally will be subject to a flat 30% U.S. federal income tax. Non-U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding possible eligibility for benefits under income tax treaties and the availability of U.S. source capital losses to offset gain described in the second bullet point.

If the third bullet point above applies to a Non-U.S. Holder, gain recognized by such holder on the sale, taxable exchange or other disposition of Subordinate Voting Shares will be subject to tax at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates. In addition, a buyer of Subordinate Voting Shares from such holder may be required to withhold U.S. income tax at a rate of 15% of the amount realized upon such disposition. The Company has not performed any analysis to determine whether it is currently, or has ever been, a USRPHC. You are urged to consult your own tax advisors regarding the application of these rules.

**Information Reporting and Backup Withholding**

Generally, the Company must report to the IRS and to the Non-U.S. Holder the amount of dividends paid with respect to, and the proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, Subordinate Voting Shares to such holder and the amount of tax, if any, withheld with respect to those payments or proceeds. Copies of the information returns and any withholding may also be made available to the tax authorities in the country in which the Non-U.S. Holder resides under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty.

A Non-U.S. Holder may be subject to backup withholding of tax on dividends paid, and, depending on the circumstances, the proceeds of a sale, exchange, redemption or other taxable disposition unless the Non-U.S. Holder complies with certain certification requirements to establish that it is not a U.S. Person or it otherwise establishes an exemption from backup withholding.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against the Non-U.S. Holder's U.S. federal income tax liability, provided that the holder timely furnishes the required information to the IRS.

**Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act**

Under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act ("**FATCA**"), a 30% withholding tax may apply to payments of dividends on stock made to foreign financial institutions (including amounts paid to a foreign financial institution on behalf of a holder) and certain other non-financial foreign entities. Additionally, a 30% withholding tax may apply to payments of gross proceeds from the disposition of stock made to such institutions and entities; however, proposed Treasury regulations eliminate this 30% withholding tax on payments of gross proceeds. Taxpayers may rely on these proposed Treasury regulations until final Treasury regulations are issued. There can be no assurance that final Treasury regulations would provide an exemption from FATCA for gross proceeds.

Withholding under FATCA generally will not apply where such payments are made to (i) a foreign financial institution that undertakes, under either an agreement with the United States Treasury or pursuant to an intergovernmental agreement between the jurisdiction in which it is a resident and the United States Treasury, to identify accounts held by certain United States persons or United States-owned foreign entities, annually report certain information about such accounts, and withhold 30% on payments to noncompliant foreign financial institutions and certain other account holders; (ii) a non-financial foreign entity that either certifies it does not have any substantial United States owners or furnishes identifying information regarding each substantial United States owner to the United States Treasury; or (iii) a foreign financial institution or non-financial foreign entity that is exempt from these rules. Investors should consult their tax advisors regarding this legislation and the regulations thereunder.

**SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS**

This prospectus relates to the resale by the Selling Securityholders from time to time of up to 114,807,815 of our Subordinate Voting Shares. The Selling Securityholders may from time to time offer and sell any or all of the Subordinate Voting Shares set forth below pursuant to this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement. As used in this prospectus, the term "Selling Securityholders" includes the persons listed in the table below, together with any additional selling securityholders listed in a subsequent amendment to this prospectus, and their pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees, successors, designees and others who later come to hold any of the Selling Securityholders' interests in the Subordinate Voting Shares, other than through a public sale.

Except as set forth in the footnotes below, the following table sets forth, based on written representations from the Selling Securityholders, certain information as of December 9, 2025 regarding the beneficial ownership of our Subordinate Voting Shares by the Selling Securityholders and the Subordinate Voting Shares being offered by the Selling Securityholders and may not reflect subsequent sales by the Selling Securityholders. The applicable percentage ownership of Subordinate Voting Shares is based on approximately 923,898,809 Subordinate Voting Shares outstanding as of September 30, 2025. Information with respect to Subordinate Voting Shares owned beneficially after the offering assumes the sale of all of the Subordinate Voting Shares registered hereby. The Selling Securityholders may offer and sell some, all or none of their Subordinate Voting Shares.

None of the Selling Securityholders has ever been an officer or director of us or one of our affiliates or has has had a material relationship with us other than as a securityholder at any time within the past three years. Each of the Selling Securityholders has acquired (or will acquire) the Subordinate Voting Shares to be resold hereunder in the ordinary course of business and, at the time of acquisition, none of the Selling Securityholders was, or is expected to be, a party to any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the Subordinate Voting Shares to be resold by such Selling Securityholders under the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

Since a Selling Securityholder may sell some or none of the Subordinate Voting Shares that it holds or has the right to acquire that are covered by this prospectus, and because the offering contemplated by this prospectus is not underwritten, no estimate can be given as to the number of our Subordinate Voting Shares that will be held by Selling Securityholders upon the termination of the offering. The information set forth in the following table regarding the beneficial ownership after the resale of shares is based upon the assumption that the Selling Securityholders will acquire (to the extent not currently held) and sell all of the Subordinate Voting Shares covered by this prospectus.

We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC. Except as indicated by the footnotes below, we believe, based on the information furnished to us, that Selling Securityholders have, or will have, sole voting and investment power with respect to all Subordinate Voting Shares that they beneficially own, subject to applicable community property laws. Except as otherwise described below, based on the information provided to us by the Selling Securityholders, no Selling Securityholder is a broker-dealer or an affiliate of a broker dealer.

Please see the section titled "*Plan of Distribution*" in this prospectus for further information regarding the Selling Securityholders' method of distributing these shares.

**PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION**

Vireo Growth Inc. is registering 114,807,815 Subordinate Voting Shares. The Selling Securityholders, which as used herein includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling Subordinate Voting Shares or interests in Subordinate Voting Shares received after the date of this prospectus from a selling shareholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other transfer, may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their Subordinate Voting Shares on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the Subordinate Voting Shares are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.

The Selling Securityholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of Subordinate Voting Shares:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions
in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· block trades in which the broker-dealer will
attempt to sell the Subordinate Voting Shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate
the transaction;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and
resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· an exchange distribution in accordance with the
rules of the applicable exchange;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· privately negotiated transactions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· short sales effected after the date the registration
statement of which this prospectus forms a part is declared effective by the SEC;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· through the writing or settlement of options
or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Securityholders
to sell a specified number of such Subordinate Voting Shares at a stipulated price per share;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· a combination of any such methods of sale; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· any other method permitted by applicable law.

The Selling Securityholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the Subordinate Voting Shares owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the Subordinate Voting Shares, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of Selling Securityholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as Selling Securityholders under this prospectus. The Selling Securityholders also may transfer the Subordinate Voting Shares in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

In connection with the sale of their Subordinate Voting Shares or interests therein, the Selling Securityholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of such Subordinate Voting Shares in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Securityholders may also sell Subordinate Voting Shares short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the Subordinate Voting Shares to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Securityholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of the Subordinate Voting Shares offered by this prospectus, which Subordinate Voting Shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The aggregate proceeds to the Selling Securityholders from the sale of the Subordinate Voting Shares offered by them will be the purchase price of such Subordinate Voting Shares less discounts or commissions, if any. Each of the Selling Securityholders reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of Subordinate Voting Shares to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the resale of the Subordinate Voting Shares.

The Selling Securityholders also may resell all or a portion of the Subordinate Voting Shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule.

The Selling Securityholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the Subordinate Voting Shares therein may be "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of the Subordinate Voting Shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Selling Securityholders who are "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

**ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES**

We are incorporated under the laws of Canada. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon us or to enforce against us, judgments obtained in United States courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof. In addition, investors should not assume that the courts of Canada (i) would enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained in actions against us, our officers or directors, or other said persons, predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws or other laws of the United States; or (ii) would enforce, in original actions, liabilities against us or such directors, officers or experts predicated upon the United States federal securities laws or any securities or other laws of any state or jurisdiction of the United States.

In addition, there is doubt as to the applicability of the civil liability provisions of U.S. federal securities law to original actions instituted in Canada. It may be difficult for an investor, or any other person or entity, to assert U.S. securities laws claims in original actions instituted in Canada.
