Cannabis multistate operator Ayr Wellness borrowed approximately $150 million in an additional offering of senior secured notes.
“The company completed a private placement offering of approximately $133 million aggregate principal amount of notes,” Miami-based Ayr said in a news release.
The notes were issued at a premium price to their face value, according to a company spokesperson.
The debt was issued under the same terms as Ayr’s senior secured notes announced in December 2020.
That capital raise was later increased from $75 million to $110 million.
The debt bears a 12.5% interest rate and matures in December 2024.
