EX-99.1 · tm2617497d2_ex99-1.htm EX-99.1 4 tm2617497d2_ex99-1.htm EXHIBIT 99.1 Exhibit 99.1 Vireo Growth Inc. Completes Acquisition of Bridgewell Agribusiness LLC and Plans to Acquire Dispensaries in Nevada and Maryland MINNEAPOLIS, Minnesota, June 5, 2026 -- Vireo Growth Inc. (CSE: VREO) (OTCQX: VREOF) (“Vireo” or the “Company”), today announced the closing of its previously announced acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding partnership interests of Agribusiness Holdings Limited Partnership, including its subsidiary Bridgewell Agribusiness LLC (“Bridgewell”) among other subsidiaries, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement entered into among the various sellers named therein (the “Sellers”) and certain other parties thereto (the “Bridgewell Transaction”). The Company also simultaneously announced that it entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) with M3 Wellness, LLC (“M3 Wellness”) for a Nevada dispensary, and that it previously entered into a definitive agreement with HA-MD, LLC (“HA-MD”) for an equity interest in its Maryland dispensaries (collectively, the “Dispensary Transactions”). Bridgewell Transaction Bridgewell is a supplier of organic and non-GMO food and agricultural products to manufacturers. Bridgewell sources, procures and supplies organic and non-GMO agricultural commodities and food ingredients, and acts as an intermediary between agricultural producers and food manufacturers, providing customers with a reliable supply of raw materials and ingredients that meet applicable certification and regulatory standards. “This transaction represents an important step in the continued evolution of Vireo’s broader supply chain and procurement strategy,” stated John Mazarakis , Chief Executive Officer of Vireo. “Bridgewell brings deep relationships, procurement expertise, and scalable infrastructure that complement our existing operations and strengthen the ancillary cannabis segment of our business. Together with our recent acquisition of The Hawthorne Gardening Company LLC , and its subsidiaries, we believe this transaction enhances our ability to drive operational efficiencies and create long-term value across our business.” “Joining Vireo marks an exciting new chapter for Bridgewell,” stated Patrick McCauley, Chief Executive Officer of Bridgewell. “We have built our business around trusted supplier relationships, dependable sourcing capabilities, and customer service. By partnering with Vireo, we believe we are well-positioned to expand our platform, pursue new growth opportunities, and continue delivering value to our customers and partners.” The aggregate consideration for the Bridgewell Transaction was based on a base purchase price of US$40.0 million, subject to adjustments for assumed indebtedness that will remain outstanding following closing and the assumption of certain other transaction expenses. After giving effect to such adjustments, the closing purchase price was approximately US$13.66 million. In connection with the closing of the Bridgewell Transaction, Vireo issued unsecured, subordinated convertible notes to the Sellers (collectively, the “Convertible Notes”). The Convertible Notes will convert on or after the second anniversary of closing into, on a pre-share consolidation basis, an aggregate estimated 22,036,528 subordinate voting shares of Vireo at a deemed price of US$0.62 per share, subject to final adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement and the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange. Dispensary Transactions Vireo entered into an APA dated June 5, 2026, to acquire an M3 Wellness dispensary, located in Hawthorne, Nevada, from M3 Wellness for total consideration of $500,000, $290,000 of which is payable in cash on closing, and the balance of which will be satisfied by issuing, on a pre-share consolidation basis, 416,667 subordinate voting shares of Vireo at closing. In addition, subject to the terms and conditions of the APA, Vireo shall pay to M3 Wellness a single, performance-based earnout, based upon achievement of certain EBITDA benchmarks by December 31, 2029. Completion of this Dispensary Transaction is subject to regulatory approval from the Nevada Cannabis Compliance Board, as well as customary conditions, including receipt of necessary approvals. Vireo also announced that it previously entered into a definitive agreement dated November 3, 2025, to acquire an indirect 49% equity interest in Chesapeake Integrated Health Institute, LLC and Maryland Alternative Relief, LLC from the current members of HA-MD (the sole owner of such licenses) for total consideration of $1.55 million, $400,000 of which is payable in cash on closing (subject to adjustment based on the financial condition of HA-MD at the time of closing), $400,000 of which will be paid under promissory note and the balance of which will be satisfied by issuing, on a pre-share consolidation basis, 1,111,110 subordinate voting shares of Vireo at closing at a deemed issue price per share of $0.675. Completion of this Dispensary Transaction is subject to regulatory approval from the Maryland Cannabis Administration (which approval has been obtained), as well as customary additional conditions, including receipt of necessary approvals. The share consideration will be subject to customary resale restrictions under Canadian securities law and hold period under the rules of the Canadian Securities Exchange.

The Company hereby agrees, and by accepting this Note, the Holder hereby acknowledges and agrees, that so long as any Senior Debt is outstanding, upon notice from holders of such Senior Debt (the “ Senior Creditors ”) to the Company that an event of default, or any event has occurred under the terms of the Senior Debt for which the giving of notice or the passage of time or both would constitute an event of default (a “ Default Notice ”), the Company will not make, and the Holder will not receive or retain, any payment under this Note. Nothing in this paragraph will preclude or prohibit the Holder from receiving and retaining any payment hereunder unless and until the Holder has received a Default Notice (which will be effective until waived in writing by the Senior Creditors) or from converting this Note or any amounts due hereunder into Conversion Shares. The Holder shall promptly return to the Company or its designee any payment received in violation of this paragraph. 3. Conversion . This Note will be convertible into Conversion Shares pursuant to the following terms. 3.1 Definitions . (a) “ Code ” means the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. (b) “ Conversion Shares ” means that number of subordinate voting shares in the authorized share structure of the Company, or any subsequent securities which Conversion Shares are converted into or exchanged for in connection with any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, amalgamation, arrangement or other transaction involving the Company. (c) “ SEC ” means the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. (d) “ Securities Act ” means the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. 3.2 Mandatory Conversion . Notwithstanding any other provision of this Note, upon written notice by the Company to the Holder on or after the second anniversary of the date of issuance of this Note, if the Company notifies the Holder that the average daily trading volume for the subordinate voting shares for the twenty (20)-trading day period preceding such notification is at least equal to 900,000 shares (as such trading volume threshold is proportionally adjusted from time to time to account for any Adjustment Event (as defined below)) (the date of such conversion, the “ Mandatory Conversion Date ”), this Note will automatically convert into that number of Conversion Shares equal to the quotient of (a) all amounts due and payable to the Holder under this Note, divided by (b) the Closing Share Price (as such term is defined in (and calculated in accordance with) the Purchase Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no obligation to convert this Note or any amounts due hereunder into Conversion Shares if in the Company’s reasonable judgment, such issuance would violate any applicable law. 2 3.3 Optional Conversion . The Holder may elect to convert this Note into that number of Conversion Shares equal to the quotient of (a) all amounts due and payable to the Holder under this Note, divided by (b) the Closing Share Price (as such term is defined in (and calculated in accordance with) the Purchase Agreement) upon notice to the Company during the period of time following the second (2 nd ) anniversary of the date of issuance of this Note but before the fifth (5 th ) anniversary of the date of issuance of this Note. 3.4 Mechanics of Conversion . As promptly as practicable after the conversion of this Note and the issuance of the Conversion Shares, the Company (at its expense) will either issue and deliver a certificate or certificates evidencing the Conversion Shares (if certificated) to the Holder, or if the Conversion Shares are not certificated, will deliver a true and correct copy of the Company’s share register reflecting the Conversion Shares held by the Holder. The Company will not be required to issue or deliver the Conversion Shares until the Holder has surrendered this Note to the Company (if delivered in other than electronic form) or agreed to or provided an instrument of cancellation or an affidavit of loss. The number of Conversion Shares to be issued under this Note shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share, and no fractional shares shall be issued. 3.5 Adjustments . If, at any time prior to the conversion of this Note, the Company shall: (a) subdivide or consolidate its outstanding subordinate voting shares into a greater or lesser number of shares; (b) pay a dividend or make a distribution on its subordinate voting shares in subordinate voting shares; (c) issue by reclassification of its subordinate voting shares any shares of the Company; or (d) effect any reorganization, amalgamation, arrangement, merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of its assets (each, an “ Adjustment Event ”), then the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note and/or the effective conversion price shall be adjusted proportionally such that the Holder, upon conversion following such Adjustment Event, shall receive the same economic value and proportionate interest in the Company as the Holder would have received had the conversion occurred immediately prior to such Adjustment Event. In the case of any reorganization, amalgamation, arrangement, merger or consolidation pursuant to which the subordinate voting shares are converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, the Holder shall be entitled upon conversion to receive such securities, cash or property as the Holder would have received had the Holder converted this Note immediately prior to such event. Without limiting the foregoing, if at any time prior to the conversion of this Note, any change in the authorized share structure of the Company shall occur by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including reverse stock split) or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any stock dividend or distribution paid in stock, the Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note shall be appropriately adjusted to provide the same economic effect as contemplated by this Note prior to such event. 4.

To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld by Buyer, such amounts shall be timely remitted by Buyer to the applicable Governmental Authority and treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Ultimate Sellers. If any withholding is required to be satisfied in cash and the Ultimate Sellers do not, within five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be required by applicable Law) after receipt of Buyer’s notice, pay Buyer in immediately available funds the amount necessary to satisfy such withholding obligation, Buyer is hereby authorized, but not required, to sell or otherwise dispose of such portion of any Buyer Shares or other security deliverable to any Ultimate Seller (including the Buyer Shares that would be issued under such Ultimate Seller’s Convertible Note, and Buyer is hereby authorized to modify any such Convertible Note as made necessary by application of this Section 2.03) as is necessary to provide sufficient funds (after deducting commissions payable, fees and other third-party, out-of-pocket costs and expenses) to Buyer to enable it to comply with such deduction or withholding requirement and Buyer shall notify the applicable payee and remit the applicable portion of the net proceeds of such sale to the appropriate Governmental Authority and, if applicable, any portion of such net proceeds (after deduction of all fees, commissions or third-party, out-of-pocket costs in respect of such sale) that is not required to be so remitted shall be paid to the applicable Ultimate Seller.

The Estimated Closing Statement also contains an estimated consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date and an estimated consolidated statement of income for the prior twelve (12) calendar months immediately preceding the Closing Date, and for the twelve (12)-month period ended December 31, 2025, in each case prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles. The Company has provided Buyer with reasonable access to the books and records of the Company and has caused the personnel of the Company and its Subsidiaries to reasonably cooperate with Buyer for the purpose of enabling Buyer to review the Company’s determination of all amounts and estimates in the Estimated Closing Statement and each component thereof, and such amounts have been adjusted in response to any reasonable comments of Buyer provided prior to the Closing. (ii) Inventory Statement . Prior to the Closing, the Company has delivered to Buyer or a representative of Buyer an Inventory estimate (the “ Inventory Statement ”) that shall be included as part of the Estimated Closing Statement, in accordance with the definition of Inventory and in accordance with the inventory accounting principles set forth in Exhibit B (the “ Inventory Accounting Principles ”); provided that, to the extent the definition of Inventory conflicts with the Inventory Accounting Principles, the definition of Inventory shall supersede the Inventory Accounting Principles. The Inventory Statement contains either (x) a list by product category, item number, or as is otherwise customary, the number and cost of each item of Inventory, and the estimated cost for such Inventory, as of the Closing; or (y) the lowest level of detail as regularly utilized by the Company’s management. Buyer and the Company shall conduct a physical review of the Inventory on the Closing Date or within one (1) Business Day following the Closing Date in accordance with the definitions in this Agreement and the Inventory Accounting Principles, which Inventory results shall be used in the determination of the Final Closing Statement pursuant to Section 2.04(b). The physical inventory shall, if taken following the Closing Date, be reconciled to the amount of Inventory as of the Closing Date. (b) Post-Closing Adjustment . Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Seller Representative a statement setting forth Buyer’s good faith calculation of, as of the Closing Date, (i) the Closing Cash, (ii) the Closing Indebtedness and Assumed Indebtedness, (iii) the unpaid Transaction Expenses, if any, (iv) the Closing Working Capital, (v) the amount of any Pre-Closing Taxes, (vi) the Actual Closing Purchase Price, determined based on the foregoing calculations of this Section 2.04(b)(i) through (v), together with the amounts included in the Estimated Closing Statement for clause (a) of the definition of “ Closing Purchase Price ”, and (vii) the Minimum Cash Amount (as finally determined pursuant to subsections (b) and (c), the “ Final Closing Statement ”), all calculated and prepared in all material respects in accordance with the Accounting Principles. 23 (c) Examination and Review . (i) Examination. After receipt of the Final Closing Statement, the Seller Representative shall have forty-five (45) days (the “ Review Period ”) to review the Final Closing Statement. During the Review Period and during the resolution of any dispute pursuant to this Section 2.04(c), the Seller Representative and its accountants shall have full access to the books and records of the Company, the personnel of, and work papers prepared by, Buyer, the Company, and/or their accountants to the extent that they relate to the Final Closing Statement and to such historical financial information (to the extent in Buyer’s possession) relating to the Final Closing Statement as the Seller Representative may reasonably request for the purpose of reviewing the Final Closing Statement and to prepare a Statement of Objections (defined below), provided, that such access shall be in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the normal business operations of Buyer or the Company; provided further that Buyer shall provide such access (including to reasonably requested workpapers and source data) as promptly as practicable. (ii) Objection. On or prior to the last day of the Review Period, the Seller Representative may object to the Final Closing Statement by delivering to Buyer a written statement setting forth its objections in reasonable detail, indicating each disputed calculation, item or amount and the basis for its disagreement therewith (the “ Statement of Objections ”). If the Seller Representative fails to deliver the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, the Final Closing Statement shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Seller Representative, and shall be final and binding on the Ultimate Sellers in all respects; provided, that the Seller Representative’s failure to object shall not constitute acceptance of (A) manifest error, or (B) Fraud. If the Seller Representative delivers the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, Buyer and the Seller Representative shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such objections within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Statement of Objections (the “ Resolution Period ”), and, if the same are so resolved within the Resolution Period, the Final Closing Statement with such changes as may have been previously agreed in writing by Buyer and the Seller Representative, shall be final and binding. (iii) Resolution of Disputes. If the Seller Representative and Buyer fail to reach an agreement with respect to all of the matters set forth in the Statement of Objections before expiration of the Resolution Period, then any matters remaining in dispute (“ Disputed Amounts ” and any matters not so disputed, the “ Undisputed Amounts ”) shall be submitted for resolution to Cohn Reznick or, if Cohn Reznick is unable to serve, Buyer and the Seller Representative shall appoint by mutual agreement the office of an impartial regionally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants that is not the Company Auditor (the “ Independent Accountant ”) who, acting as experts and not arbitrators, shall resolve the Disputed Amounts only and make any adjustments to the Final Closing Statement. The parties hereto agree that all adjustments of Disputed Amounts shall be made without regard to materiality. The Independent Accountant shall only decide the specific calculations, items or amounts under dispute by the parties and their decision for each Disputed Amount must be within the range of values assigned to each such calculation, item or amount in the Final Closing Statement and the Statement of Objections, respectively. 24 (iv) Fees of the Independent Accountant. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be paid by Seller Representative, on the one hand, and by Buyer, on the other hand, based upon the percentage that the amount actually contested but not awarded to Ultimate Sellers or Buyer, respectively, bears to the aggregate amount actually contested by the Seller Representative and Buyer. (v) Determination by Independent Accountant. The Independent Accountant shall make a determination as soon as practicable after their engagement, and their resolution of any disputed amount under this Agreement for which they are engaged, including the Disputed Amounts in this Section 2.04, and their adjustments to the Final Closing Statement, absent Fraud by any such Person or manifest mathematical error by the Independent Accountant, shall be conclusive and binding upon Seller Representative, the Ultimate Sellers, Buyer and the Company. The Independent Accountant’s resolution of the Disputed Amounts and their adjustments to the Final Closing Statement shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence and comparable state rules of evidence. (d) Closing Purchase Price Adjustment . (i) If the Actual Closing Purchase Price as determined pursuant to Section 2.04(b) and (c) exceeds the Estimated Closing Purchase Price as determined pursuant to Section 2.04(a) (such excess, the “ Upward Adjustment Amount ”), then within ten (10) Business Days of such determination, Buyer shall modify the Convertible Notes to proportionally increase the number of Buyer Shares issuable to each such Ultimate Seller upon exercise (rounded up to the nearest whole number) equal to each Ultimate Seller’s Incremental Pro Rata Share of the quotient of (I) the Upward Adjustment Amount, divided by (II) the Closing Share Price. (ii) If the Actual Closing Purchase Price as determined pursuant to Section 2.04(b) and (c) is less than the Estimated Closing Purchase Price as determined pursuant to Section 2.04(a) (such deficit, the “ Downward Adjustment Amount ”), then within ten (10) Business Days of such determination, (A) each Ultimate Seller may (at its election in its discretion) pay to Buyer in cash in immediately available funds such Ultimate Seller’s Incremental Pro Rata Share of the Downward Adjustment Amount (or a portion thereof), or (B) if no such cash payment is made within ten (10) Business Days of such determination, Buyer may modify each Convertible Note to proportionally reduce the number of Buyer Shares (rounded up to the nearest whole number) issuable upon exercise equal to each Ultimate Seller’s Incremental Pro Rata Share of the quotient of (I) the Downward Adjustment Amount, divided by (II) the Closing Share Price. (e) Adjustments for Tax Purposes . Any payments made pursuant to this Section 2.04 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Estimated Closing Purchase Price by the parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Law. 25 Section 2.05 Buyer Shares .

Each Ultimate Seller confirms, acknowledges and agrees that (i) Buyer has advised such Ultimate Seller that Buyer is relying on an exemption from the requirements to provide such Ultimate Seller with a prospectus and to sell securities through a person registered to sell securities under applicable Canadian Securities Laws and, as a consequence of acquiring the Convertible Note and the Buyer Shares pursuant to this exemption, certain protections, rights and remedies provided by Canadian securities laws, including statutory rights of rescission or damages, will not be available to such Ultimate Seller, (ii) there is no government or other insurance covering the Convertible Note or the Buyer Shares, (iii) there are risks associated with the acquisition of the Convertible Note and the Buyer Shares and such Ultimate Seller is aware of the risks and other characteristics of the Convertible Note and the Buyer Shares, and (iv) there may be restrictions on such Ultimate Seller’s ability to resell or transfer the Convertible Note or the Buyer Shares and it is the responsibility of such Ultimate Seller to find out what those restrictions are and to comply with them before selling or transferring them.

In the event that, as of the time of required issuance of any Buyer Shares under this Agreement or the Convertible Note, any Ultimate Seller does not qualify for the applicable exemptions under federal and state Securities Laws required for Buyer to issue such Buyer Shares to such Ultimate Seller, then Buyer shall issue such Buyer Shares to a third party agent agreed upon by the parties, which shall hold the Buyer Shares on behalf of and for the benefit of such Ultimate Seller.
