CANOPY GROWTH STRENGTHENS BALANCE SHEET WITH OPTIONAL EARLY PREPAYMENT TO REDUCE TERM LOAN BY US$100 MILLION
Canopy Growth Corp. has made an optional early prepayment under its senior secured term loan in an aggregate principal amount equal to $100-million (U.S.) at a discounted price of $97.5-million (U.S.). This results in interest expense savings of approximately $13-million (U.S.) on an annualized basis.
"Canopy has further improved its balance sheet with this early prepayment by reducing our overall debt position as well as lowering annual interest costs," said Judy Hong, chief financial officer of Canopy Growth. "In addition, with this prepayment now made, we have no material debt obligation until September, 2027."
This prepayment was optional under the terms of the agreement between the company and its senior lenders as part of a series of amendments to the term loan. Pursuant to the term loan amendment, Canopy Growth had the option to make this prepayment by March 31, 2025. As a result of making the second prepayment, the maturity date of the term loan has been extended to Sept. 18, 2027.
The optional early prepayment of the term loan demonstrates Canopy Growth's continued focus on reducing debt and improving its balance sheet, positioning the company for sustainable growth in the evolving global cannabis market.
