Chicago-based Cresco Labs, one of the country’s largest multistate cannabis operators, received regulatory approval to acquire one of only 10 vertically integrated licenses in New York.
The acquisition is expected to close at the end of August.
It was first announced October 24 2018 with Cresco agreeing to pay $32.5 million in cash and over 13.47 million in shares, 5.3 million of which are contingent on certain targets being reached. As of today, that would imply a value of up to approximately $106 million.
Cresco trades under the ticker symbol CL on the Canadian Securities Exchange.
Valley Agriceuticals is developing a 75,000-square-foot cultivation and processing facility in Wallkill, New York.
The company operates two existing dispensaries in the state and plans to open two others within the next two weeks, Cresco said.
