Marijuana multistate company Columbia Care closed a private placement of senior notes worth $185 million.

The senior secured debt, due in 2026, carries an interest rate of 9.5%.

In connection with the notes offering, Columbia Care is exchanging roughly $31.75 million of 13% notes due in 2023 for the new notes for aggregate gross proceeds of $153.25 million.

Proceeds will be used “to fund capital expenditures, strategic acquisitions and for general corporate purposes,” according to a Thursday news release.

“This non-dilutive financing provides Columbia Care with additional flexibility to continue executing on our strategic growth initiatives, especially in markets like New Jersey, New York and Virginia,” CEO Nicholas Vita said in a statement.
