Written by Customer Service on . Posted in Public Companies.

MIAMI, June 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — AYR Wellness Inc. (CSE: AYR.A, OTCQX: AYRWF) (“AYR” or the “Company”), a leading vertically integrated U.S. multi-state cannabis operator, announces that it has entered into a Limited Waiver Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the holders of a majority of its senior secured notes (the “Majority Holders”).‎

The Agreement provides a temporary waiver of certain events of default under the Company’s senior note documents, including those arising from the Company’s previously announced delay in filing its interim financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, and certain payment defaults under other outstanding debt obligations (including certain of the Company’s unsecured and/or subordinated debt obligations) should the Company determine not to make such payments when due. The waiver is effective through June 19, 2025, unless terminated earlier upon the occurrence of certain specified events, including a termination event of default should the Company make any payments otherwise due under its unsecured and/or subordinated debt obligations.

The Company is actively engaged in ongoing negotiations with its senior lenders and continues to assess strategic alternatives to address its capital structure and upcoming payment obligations. The entry into the Agreement provides the Company with additional time and flexibility to continue these discussions and pursue its strategic objectives.

The Agreement temporarily restricts the Majority Holders from exercising their default-related rights and remedies with respect to the specified defaults during the waiver period, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement. The Agreement does not constitute a permanent waiver of any defaults or a waiver of any other rights or remedies under the senior note documents.

AYR remains committed to operating its business in the ordinary course and to delivering high-quality cannabis products to its patients and customers. The Company will continue to provide updates regarding the status of the Agreement and any material developments as they arise.
