High Tide Closes on $30 Million Convertible Debt from Cronos Group Inc.

CALGARY, AB, and TORONTO, ON, July 16, 2025 /CNW/ - High Tide Inc. ("High Tide") (Nasdaq: HITI) (TSXV: HITI) (FSE: 2LYA), the high-impact, retail-forward enterprise built to deliver real-world value across every component of cannabis, announced today that it has closed a loan agreement (the "Loan Agreement") with a wholly owned subsidiary of Cronos Group Inc. (Nasdaq: CRON) (TSX: CRON) to secure convertible debt with a principal amount of $30 million (the "Junior Secured Loan"). High Tide intends to use this working capital to fund future acquisitions and organic growth as it seeks to expand its business and grow its domestic store network beyond 300 locations in Canada. "Given our strong and proven business model, it's incredibly validating to receive a second vote of confidence in the form of an investment from a major licensed producer in recent months," said Raj Grover, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of High Tide. "Their support speaks volumes about the value High Tide brings to the legal cannabis ecosystem, not only as a growth-focused retailer but as a key industry player that's helping improve the operating environment for licensed producers, reduce illicit market share, and reinforce Canada's regulated framework overall. With this investment, which will serve entirely as growth capital, we're poised to accelerate our expansion both in Canada and internationally." "Our investment was driven by the belief that a competitive and equitable retail environment benefits the entire industry, including producers, retailers and adult consumers," said Mike Gorenstein, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cronos. "We remain fully committed to working with and supporting all our retail partners." Transaction Details The Junior Secured Loan is secured by a third priority lien on certain of High Tide's assets and bears interest at 4% per annum. Pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, Cronos may, with the agreement of High Tide, from time to time, convert the Junior Secured Loan, excluding the amounts attributed to the original issuance discount, into common shares in the capital of High Tide (the "Common Shares") at a price of $4.20 per Common Share (the Common Shares issued from such conversions, the "Conversion Shares"). The Junior Secured Loan has a 5-year term and may be repaid, in whole or in part, at any time, at High Tide's option with no penalty. Additionally, Cronos received a Common Share purchase warrant (the "Warrant"). The Warrant is exercisable into up to 3,836,317 Common Shares (the "Warrant Shares") at an exercise price of $3.91 per Warrant Share, representing a 25% premium to the 30-day volume weighted average price of High Tide shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") ending on the trading day prior to the date of this news release, for a period of five years, at Cronos' option. The TSXV has conditionally approved the listing of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares, subject to the fulfillment of the requirements of the TSXV's conditional approval.

A passionate storyteller, Claudia Turner uses her voice to advocate for others

As an incoming senior and editor-in-chief of the student newspaper High Tide, 17-year-old Claudia Turner will continue using her platform as a journalist to share people's stories and give everyone a voice. 'Journalism makes people feel special,' Turner said. 'I love making people feel like they matter, and that they are important enough to have an article written about them.' Turner's passion for writing sparked when she took a journalism class as an elective in sixth grade, she said. She wrote her first story about an ant infestation at Paris Middle School, and knew she had discovered something special after the story's publication in the Panther Paw. Turner previously served as an opinion and entertainment editor at Redondo Union High School. She enjoys writing film critiques, movie reviews, and using her writing to inform the community about issues that she has a personal connection to. 'Journalism makes you think harder about things,' Turner said. 'The fact that we're able to reach some people and connect to the community is just so impactful to me.' This summer, Turner plans to write about mental health services available to youth in the South Bay. She said she's incredibly excited to be an intern with L.A. Times High School Insider and hopes to implement all that she learns when she returns to High Tide at Redondo this fall. 'My goal, at least for the High Tide, is to share everyone's story. I also want to be able to give the kids I work with the best chance of winning awards, producing quality material to put on their resume, that sort of stuff,' Turner said. 'Who am I better to learn these techniques from than the L.A. Times?' Turner designed this page layout in High Tide's final issue of the year. She honored the 2025 graduating class by featuring them in the senior issue, and handcrafting clay figures of each graduate. Outside of pursuing her career in journalism, Turner loves watching 'Love Island' and listening to podcasts. She also enjoys art and baking, and spends time with her best friend and co-editor-in-chief, Daniella Gross. 'Claudia is so sweet, and we both match each other's energy,' Gross said. 'She's there with me through all my ups and downs, and she's always the person I want to hug or talk to.' Turner and Gross both joined the journalism program at Redondo during their freshman year in 2022, and they made it their mission to become co-EICs as seniors. Gross said it was incredible to watch Turner transform from a staff writer to a confident editor who plans to pursue a career in this field. 'I just love how you can really hear her voice in her writing,' Gross said. 'Since freshman year, she has completely come out of her shell and it's so beautiful to see the person that she has grown into this year. I'm so excited to see what she's going to do as EIC.' Turner will graduate from Redondo next year and hopes to attend a UC school as a journalism major. In her professional career, she plans to specialize in political and cultural journalism, covering topics from government policy to pop culture. 'I want to do something that matters,' Turner said. 'I want my writing to cause people to change their minds about something. Even if it's just one person, if someone felt more knowledgeable after reading one of my articles, I would be satisfied.'
