SNDL Inc. announced that its acquisition of the remaining 27 1CM Inc. Ontario cannabis retail locations, valued at $27.2 million, will not proceed. This decision follows a prolonged regulatory review process that extended beyond the commercially reasonable timelines and the May 31, 2026 outside date for provincial approvals. The first stage of the acquisition, involving five stores in Alberta and Saskatchewan, was completed on January 7, 2026, and remains unaffected. SNDL plans to reallocate the capital previously reserved for the Ontario acquisition towards its existing Share Repurchase Program, which authorizes up to $100 million in buybacks through November 20, 2026.
