PharmHouse Inc.

PharmHouse Inc., a licensed cannabis producer with an operating facility in Staples, Ontario, obtained protection under the CCAA on September 15, listing approximately $170.9 million in liabilities and $187.7 million in assets. Since August, the company has relied on $1.2 million in funding from Canopy Rivers Corporation ("Rivers") to meet its immediate cash needs. In order to establish its operating facility, increase its cannabis production capabilities, and grow its business, the company has expended significant resources to date, including funds from equity and debt financing. As a result, the company has now exhausted its cash on hand, including its $90.0 million non-revolving credit facility. Absent urgent additional funding and a restructuring of its business, the company will face an immediate cessation of its operations. Although Rivers has advised that it is no longer willing to provide the company with funding on an unsecured basis, it will be providing DIP financing during the CCAA proceedings. EY was appointed monitor. Counsel is Bennett Jones for the company, BLG for the monitor, and Cassels Brock for Rivers.
