TerrAscend, an Ontario, Canada-based vertically integrated cannabis company, agreed to acquire Ilera Healthcare, a Pennsylvania-based marijuana cultivator, processor and dispensary operator for up to $225 million (CA$297 million).
The total cost of the transaction will depend on Ilera reaching certain revenue and profitability targets.

- The company also has a cultivation, extraction and processing facility in Waterfall in the state and distributes its products to 50 of the state’s 52 dispensaries.
- The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2019.
TerrAscend, which trades on the Canadian Securities Exchange as TER, reported revenues of CA$14.6 million ($10.95 million) for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, with a net loss of CA$11.2 million.
