Overview
On January 29, 2026, Trulieve Cannabis Corp. (the “Company”) issued an additional U.S. $60 million aggregate principal amount of its 10.5% senior secured notes due December 17, 2030 (the “Additional Notes”). The Additional Notes were issued at a price of U.S. $1,000 plus accrued but unpaid interest from December 17, 2025 to January 29, 2026 in the amount of U.S. $12.37 per U.S. $1,000 principal of Additional Notes. Other than the issue price, the Additional Notes have identical terms as the U.S. $140 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 10.5% senior secured notes due 2030 issued on December 17, 2025 (the “Original Notes” and, together with the Additional Notes, the “Notes”). The outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Notes, after the issuance of the Additional Notes, is U.S. $200 million.
The Notes were issued pursuant to a trust indenture dated as of June 18, 2019 (the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented by a supplemental trust indenture dated as of October 6, 2021 (the “Supplemental Indenture”), as supplemented by a second supplemental trust indenture dated as of December 17, 2025 (the “Second Supplemental Indenture” and, the Base Indenture as supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture and by the Second Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”), by and between the Company and Odyssey Trust Company, as trustee (the “Trustee”).
The Notes bear interest at a rate of 10.5% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 17 and December 17 of each year after the date of issuance of the Notes, commencing on June 17, 2026 for the Additional Notes. Interest on the Notes will accrue from December 17, 2025. The Notes will mature on December 17, 2030, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased.
Guarantees
The obligations of the Company under the Indenture and the Notes have been irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by the Restricted Subsidiaries (as defined in the Indenture). As of January 29, 2026, the only Restricted Subsidiary was Trulieve, Inc. (“Trulieve US”). Trulieve US, its successors and assigns in any form, will remain Restricted Subsidiaries under the Indenture throughout the term of the Notes. Subject to certain conditions, the Chief Executive Officer and/or the Chief Financial Officer of the Issuer may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary. A guarantor will be released from its obligations under its guarantee upon the occurrence of certain events.
Ranking
The Notes are direct senior secured obligations of the Company. Accordingly, the Notes are senior to all of the Company’s existing and future unsecured indebtedness. The Notes are subordinated in right of payment only to any indebtedness that ranks senior to the Notes by operation of law.
Security
The Notes are secured solely by a pledge of the shares of Trulieve US.
Optional Redemption
At any time and from time to time prior to December 17, 2027, the Company may redeem all or part of the Notes, upon not less than 15 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus the applicable premium and accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding principal amount of each Note called for redemption to the date of redemption.
At any time and from time to time on or after December 17, 2027, the Company may redeem all or part of the Notes, upon not less than 15 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, at a redemption price (expressed as percentages of the principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable redemption date, of the years indicated below, subject to the rights of noteholders on the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant payment date:
| Year | Percentage | ||
|---|---|---|---|

| December 17, 2028 to December 17, 2029 | 102 | % | |
| December 17, 2029 and thereafter | 100 | % |
At any time prior to December 17, 2027, up to 35% of the Notes can be redeemed from the proceeds of a concurrent equity issuance at a redemption price of 108% plus accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding principal amount of each Note called for redemption to the date of redemption.
Change of Control
In the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the Indenture), each holder will have the right to require that the Company purchase all or a portion of such holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of such Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase.
Certain Covenants
