Trulieve Cannabis Corp.

Notes to Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1. THE COMPANY

Trulieve Cannabis Corp. (together with its subsidiaries, “Trulieve” or the “Company”) was incorporated in British Columbia, Canada. Trulieve (through its wholly-owned subsidiaries) is a vertically integrated cannabis company which, as of September 30, 2021, held licenses to operate in Florida, Massachusetts, California, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and West Virginia, to cultivate, produce, and sell medicinal-use cannabis products and, with respect to California and Massachusetts, adult-use cannabis products, and received notice of intent to award a license in Georgia. As disclosed in Note 18 below, on October 1, 2021, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of Harvest Health & Recreation Inc. ("Harvest") and, as a result of the acquisition, the Company's operations have expanded into additional states effective as of such date. All revenues are generated in the United States, and all long-lived assets are located in the United States. As of September 30, 2021, the majority of our revenue was generated from the sale of medical cannabis products in the State of Florida and in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. To date, neither the sale of adult-use cannabis products, nor our operations in Massachusetts, California, Connecticut, or West Virginia, have been material to our business.

In July 2018, Trulieve, Inc. entered into a non-binding letter agreement (“Letter Agreement”) with Schyan Exploration Inc. (“Schyan”) whereby Trulieve, Inc. and Schyan have agreed to merge their respective businesses resulting in a reverse takeover of Schyan by Trulieve, Inc. and change the business of Schyan from a mining issuer to a marijuana issuer (the “Transaction”). The Transaction was completed in August 2018 and Schyan changed its name to Trulieve Cannabis Corp.

The Company’s head office is located Tallahassee, Florida. The Company’s registered office is located in British Columbia.

The Company is listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”) and began trading on September 24, 2018 under the ticker symbol “TRUL”, and trades on the OTCQX market under the symbol “TCNNF”.

NOTE 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP” or "GAAP") for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to state fairly the consolidated financial condition, results of operations, comprehensive income, statement of shareholders’ equity, and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods presented. Except as otherwise disclosed, all such adjustments consist only of those of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the current year ending December 31, 2021. The financial data presented herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 (“2020 audited consolidated financial statements”).

The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and the instructions to Form 10-Q.

Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements

During the quarter ended September 30, 2021, the Company identified an error in its accounting for leases which was due to the lack of a complete lease population and the conclusions reached for the commencement date for leases not aligning with the possession date of

the associated right of use asset. This resulted in an understatement of the associated right of use assets and the associated lease liabilities. The Company also identified a misstatement related to the accounting for asset acquisitions that were consummated during the three months ended June 30, 2021, which was due to the Company initially valuing the equity consideration transferred using the contract value whereas the fair value as of the closing date should have been used. This resulted in an understatement of intangible assets, an understatement of the associated deferred tax liabilities and an understatement of additional paid-in-capital. Additionally, the Company identified assets not likely to be converted within a year were classified as prepaid and other current assets, rather than other assets. The Company evaluated the misstatements and concluded that the misstatements were not material, either individually or in the aggregate, to its current or previously issued consolidated financial statements.

To correct the immaterial misstatements, during the quarter ended September 30, 2021, the Company elected to revise its previously issued interim unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021 as well as the previously issued 2020 condensed consolidated balance sheet. The revision of the historical interim unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet includes the correction of these immaterial misstatements as well as other previously identified balance sheet misclassifications. Accordingly, the accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet and relevant footnotes in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as well as the 2020 condensed consolidated balance sheet have been revised to correct for such immaterial misstatements. The Company will present the revision of its previously issued interim unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, in connection with the future filing of its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. The impact of the lease entries recorded as of June 30, 2021.

The impact of the revision on the Company’s interim unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2021 is reflected in the following table:

Significant Accounting Policies

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, filed with this Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on March 23, 2021 (the "2020 Form 10-K"). There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies, except for the adoption of ASU 2019-12 as explained below.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 on January 1, 2021. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

COVID-19 Pandemic

The global outbreak of the novel strain of the coronavirus known as COVID-19 has resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. In response to the outbreak, governmental authorities in the United States, Canada and internationally have introduced various recommendations and measures to try to limit the pandemic, including travel restrictions, border closures, non-essential business closures, quarantines, self-isolations, shelters-in-place and social distancing. Management has been closely monitoring the continuing impact of COVID-19, with a focus in the health and safety of the Company’s employees, business continuity and supporting its communities. The Company has enacted various measures to reduce the spread of the virus, including implementing social distancing at its cultivation facilities and dispensaries, enhancing cleaning protocols at such facilities and dispensaries and encouraging employees to adhere to preventative measures recommended by local, state, and federal health officials. The Company incurred expenses related to enhanced cleaning protocols, personal protective equipment and COVID-19 related paid leave for employees.

NOTE 3. ACQUISITIONS

(a) Keystone Shops

On July 8, 2021, the Company acquired 100% of the membership interests of Anna Holdings, LLC, the sole member of Chamounix Ventures, LLC which holds a permit to operate dispensaries under Keystone Shops (“Keystone Shops”) with locations in Philadelphia, Devon and King of Prussia, Pennsylvania. Total consideration was $55.6 million consisting of $20.3 million in cash, inclusive of net working capital adjustments, and 1,009,336 in Trulieve Subordinate Voting Shares ("Trulieve Shares") with a fair value of $35.4 million. The agreement provides for an additional $5.0 million in consideration which is contingent on the enactment, adoption or approval of laws allowing for adult-use cannabis in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. No liability has been recorded for this contingent consideration, as it was not estimated to be probable at the time of acquisition. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805, Business Combinations. Goodwill arose because the consideration paid for the business acquisition reflected the benefit of expected revenue growth and future market development. These benefits were not recognized separately from goodwill because they do not meet the recognition criteria for identifiable intangible assets. Goodwill is subject to the limits of IRC Section 280E under which the Company is only allowed to deduct expenses directly related to the cost of production, therefore goodwill is not deductible.


(dollars in thousands)
Consideration:
Cash	$	20,251
Shares issued upon acquisition		35,385
Fair value of consideration exchanged	$	55,636
Recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed:

Total net assets acquired	$	55,636

The acquired intangible assets include a dispensary license which is treated as a definite-lived intangible asset amortized over a 15-year useful life, as well as tradename and net favorable leasehold interests which were fully amortized in the period of acquisition due to useful life and materiality considerations.

(b) Patient Centric of Martha's Vineyard

On July 2, 2021, the Company acquired certain assets of Patient Centric of Martha’s Vineyard (“PCMV”) including the rights to a Provisional Marijuana Retailers License from the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission, the right to exercise an option held by PCMV to lease real property in Framingham, Massachusetts for use as a marijuana retailer, and necessary municipal entitlements to operate as a marijuana retailer at the property. Total consideration was 258,383 in Trulieve Shares, of which 10,879 are subject to a holdback for six months as security for any indemnity claims by the Company under the asset purchase agreement. The fair value of the equity exchange was $10.0 million. The Company analyzed the acquisition under ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business, determining PCMV did not meet the definition of a business as PCMV did not have inputs, processes, and outputs in place that constituted a business under Topic 805. As a result, the acquisition of PCMV has been accounted for as an asset acquisition, whereby all of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are assigned a carrying amount based on relative fair values.

The acquired intangible asset is represented by the adult-use license and is treated as a definite-lived intangible asset amortized over a 15-year useful life.

On June 30, 2021, the Company completed an asset purchase agreement whereby Trulieve acquired a licensed, but not yet operating, adult-use dispensary location from Nature’s Remedy of Massachusetts, Inc. (“Nature’s Remedy”). The Company analyzed the acquisition under ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business, determining Nature’s Remedy did not meet the definition of a business as Nature’s Remedy did not have inputs, processes, and outputs in place that constituted a business under Topic 805. As a result, the acquisition of Nature’s Remedy has been accounted for as an asset acquisition, whereby all of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are assigned a carrying amount based on relative fair values. During the third quarter of 2021, the Company recorded an adjustment of $2.6 million increasing the cost of the acquisition due to an adjustment to the fair value of the equity consideration and updated the purchase price allocation accordingly, which updated equity consideration from contract value to fair value as of the closing date, and also updated the associated deferred tax liability. This adjustment resulted in an updated total consideration of $16.2 million consisting of $7.0 million in cash and 237,881 in Trulieve Shares with an updated fair value of $9.1

million and less than $0.1 million in transaction costs. Refer to "Note 2. Basis of Presentation" under "Revisions of Previously Issued Financial Statements" above for additional details. The adjusted net assets acquired are as follows:


(dollars in thousands)
Consideration:
Cash	$	7,000
Shares issued upon acquisition		9,139

Total net assets acquired	$	16,162

The acquired intangible asset is represented by the adult-use license and is treated as a definite-lived intangible asset amortized over a 15-year useful life.

(d) Solevo Wellness West Virginia, LLC

On June 8, 2021, the Company acquired 100% of the membership interests of Solevo Wellness West Virginia, LLC (“Solevo WV”) which holds three West Virginia dispensary licenses. The Company analyzed the acquisition under ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business, determining Solevo WV did not meet the definition of a business as substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired are concentrated in a single identifiable asset. Therefore, the transaction has been accounted for as an asset acquisition. During the third quarter of 2021, the Company recorded an adjustment of $0.1 million decreasing the cost of the acquisition due to an adjustment to the fair value of the equity consideration, which updated equity consideration originally recorded at contract value to fair value as of the closing date, and also updated the associated deferred tax liability. This adjustment resulted in an updated total consideration of $0.8 million consisting of $0.2 million in cash, 11,658 in Trulieve Shares with an updated fair value of $0.4 million, $0.1 million in debt forgiveness and less than $0.1 million in transaction costs. The consideration of $0.8 million was allocated to acquired assets of $1.0 million, which are treated as definite-lived intangible assets amortized over a 15-year useful life, offset by a related deferred tax liability of $0.2 million. Refer to "Note 2. Basis of Presentation" under "Revisions of Previously Issued Financial Statements" above for additional details.

(e) Mountaineer Holding, LLC

On May 6, 2021, the Company acquired 100% of the membership interests of Mountaineer Holding LLC (“Mountaineer”) which holds a cultivation permit and two dispensary permits in West Virginia. The Company analyzed the acquisition under ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business, determining Mountaineer did not meet the definition of a business as substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired are concentrated in a single identifiable asset. Therefore, the transaction has been accounted for as an asset acquisition. During the third quarter of 2021, the Company recorded an adjustment of $0.5 million decreasing the cost of the acquisition due to an adjustment to the fair value of the equity consideration, which updated equity consideration originally recorded at contract value to fair value as of the closing date, and also updated the associated deferred tax liability. This adjustment resulted in an updated total consideration of $5.5 million, consisting of $3.0 million in cash and 60,342 in Trulieve Shares with a fair value of $2.5 million. The consideration of $5.5 million has been allocated to the $7.0 million of acquired assets which are treated as definite-lived intangible assets amortized over a 15-year useful life, offset by a related deferred tax liability of $1.5 million. Refer to "Note 2. Basis of Presentation" under "Revisions of Previously Issued Financial Statements" above for additional details.

(f) PurePenn, LLC and Pioneer Leasing & Consulting, LLC

On November 12, 2020, the Company acquired 100% of the membership interests of both PurePenn, LLC, which holds a permit to cultivate and process medical marijuana in Pennsylvania, and Pioneer Leasing & Consulting, LLC (collectively “PurePenn”). The purpose of this acquisition was to operate the cultivation and manufacturing facility located in McKeesport, Pennsylvania. Trulieve acquired PurePenn for an upfront payment valued at $48.7 million, comprised of 1,298,964 in Trulieve Shares with a fair value of $29.7 million and $19.0 million in cash, plus a potential earn-out payment of up to 2,405,488 Trulieve Shares based on the achievement of certain agreed upon EBITDA milestones. The earn-out period is through the end of 2021. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805, Business Combinations. As of September 30, 2021, total transaction costs related to the acquisition were approximately $1.8 million. Goodwill arose because the consideration paid for the business acquisition reflected the benefit of expected revenue growth and future market development. These benefits were not recognized separately from goodwill because they do not meet the recognition criteria for identifiable intangible assets. Goodwill is subject to the limits of IRC Section 280E under which the Company is only allowed to deduct expenses directly related to the cost of production, therefore goodwill is not deductible.

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded an adjustment to the initial valuation of shares issued upon acquisition, which increased the fair value of the consideration exchanged and the estimated purchase price by $2.7 million and increased goodwill by $2.7 million and we recorded an adjustment to the initial valuation of contingent consideration payable in shares, which reduced contingent consideration payable in shares and the estimated purchase price by $3.0 million and decreased goodwill by $3.0 million. For the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded an adjustment to the deferred tax liability decreasing goodwill and the associated deferred tax liability by $0.6 million.

(g) Keystone Relief Centers, LLC

On November 12, 2020, the Company acquired 100% of the membership interests of Keystone Relief Centers, LLC (referred to herein as “Solevo Wellness”), which holds a permit to operate three medical marijuana dispensaries in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area. Trulieve acquired Solevo for an upfront purchase price of $21.0 million, comprised of $10.0 million in cash and 481,097 in Trulieve Shares with a fair value of $11.0 million, plus a potential earn-out payment of up to 721,647 Trulieve Shares based on the achievement of certain agreed upon EBITDA milestones. The earn-out period is through the end of 2021. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805, Business Combinations. As of September 30, 2021, total transaction costs related to the acquisition were approximately $0.9 million. Goodwill arose because the

consideration paid for the business acquisition reflected the benefit of expected revenue growth and future market development. These benefits were not recognized separately from goodwill because they do not meet the recognition criteria for identifiable intangible assets. Goodwill is subject to the limits of IRC Section 280E under which the Company is only allowed to deduct expenses directly related to the cost of production, therefore goodwill is not deductible.

During 2021, the purchase price allocations were adjusted, primarily to net working capital, goodwill and intangible assets. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recorded an adjustment of $3.8 million to the initial valuation amount of intangible assets for the dispensary license, increasing the dispensary license balance by $3.8 million and decreasing goodwill by $3.8 million. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, we recorded an adjustment to the initial valuation of shares issued upon issuance, which increased the fair value of the consideration exchanged by $1.0 million and increased goodwill by $1.0 million, and we recorded an adjustment to the initial valuation of contingent consideration payable in shares, which increased contingent consideration payable in shares and the estimated purchase price by $0.2 million and increased goodwill by $0.2 million. For the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded an adjustment to the deferred tax liability increasing goodwill and the associated deferred tax liability by $1.2 million.

In March 2021, the two unsecured promissory notes (the “Traunch Four Note” and the “Rivers Note”) were amended to extend the maturity one year to May 2022, all other terms remain unchanged. In the fourth quarter of 2021, the unsecured promissory notes were fully paid.

NOTE 9. PRIVATE PLACEMENT NOTES

In 2019, the Company completed two private placement arrangements (the “June Notes” and the “November Notes”), each comprised of 5-year senior secured promissory notes with a face value of $70.0 million and $60.0 million, respectively. Both notes accrue interest at an annual rate of 9.75%, payable semi-annually, in equal installments, in arrears on June 18 and December 18 of each year. The purchasers of the June Notes received warrants to purchase 1,470,000 Subordinate Voting Shares and the purchasers of the November Notes received warrants to purchase 1,560,000 Subordinate Voting Shares, which can be exercised for three years after closing.

The fair value of the June Notes was determined to be $63.9 million using an interest rate of 13.32% which the Company estimates would have been the coupon rate required to issue the June Notes had the financing not included the June Warrants. The fair value of the June Warrants was determined to be $4.7 million using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following assumptions: share price: C$14.48; exercise price: C$17.25; expected life: 3 years; annualized volatility: 49.96%; dividend yield: 0%; discount rate: 1.92%; C$ exchange rate: 1.34.

The fair value of the November Notes was determined to be $54.5 million using an interest rate of 13.43% which the Company estimates would have been the coupon rate required to issue the notes had the financing not included the November Warrants. The fair value of the November Warrants was determined to be $4.4 million using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following assumptions: share price: C$14.29; exercise price: C$17.25; expected life: 2.6 years; annualized volatility: 48.57%; dividend yield: 0%; discount rate: 1.92%; C$ exchange rate: 1.32.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 accretion expense was $0.8 million and $2.3 million respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, accretion expense was $0.7 million and $2.1 million, respectively. Accretion expense is included in general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

Because of the Canadian denominated exercise price, the June and November Warrants did not qualify to be classified within equity and were therefore classified as derivative liabilities at fair value with changes in fair value charged or credited to earnings in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income prior to December 10, 2020.

On December 10, 2020, the Company entered into a Supplemental Warrant Indenture with Odyssey Trust Company pursuant to which it amended the terms of the issued and outstanding subordinate voting share purchase warrants of the Company (the “Public Warrants”) to convert the exercise price of the Public Warrants to $13.47 per share, the U.S. dollar equivalent of the Canadian dollar exercise price of the Public Warrants of C$17.25. The U.S. dollar exercise price was determined using the U.S. dollar exchange rate published by the Bank of Canada as at the close of business on December 9, 2020 of C$1.00 = $0.781. The June Warrants and November Warrants converted to equity as per ASC 815-40, at an expense of $25.5 million and $27.1 million, respectively.

The $130.0 million principal amount of the June and November Notes are due in June 2024.

Scheduled annual maturities of the principal portion of long-term debt outstanding at September 30, 2021 in the successive five-year period and thereafter are summarized below:

NOTE 11. CONSTRUCTION FINANCE LIABILITIES

In July 2019, the Company sold property it had recently acquired in Massachusetts for $3.5 million, which was the cost to the Company. In connection with the sale of this location, the Company agreed to lease the location back for cultivation. The landlord has agreed to provide a tenant improvement allowance (“TI Allowance”) of $40.0 million, which was dispensed in its entirety as of December 31, 2020. The initial term of the agreement is ten years, with two options to extend the term for five years each. The initial payments are equal to 11% of the sum of the purchase price for the property and will increase when a draw is made on the TI Allowance. In addition, a 3% increase in payments will be applied annually after the first year. As of September 30, 2021, the total finance liability associated with this transaction is $44.4 million.

In October 2019, the Company sold property in Florida in exchange for cash of $17.0 million. Concurrent with the closing of the purchase, the buyer entered into a lease agreement with the Company for continued operation as a licensed medical cannabis cultivation facility. The initial term of the agreement is ten years, with two options to extend the term for five years each. The initial annualized payments are equal to 11% of the purchase price for the property. A 3% increase in payments will be applied annually after the first year. As of September 30, 2021, the total finance liability associated with this transaction is $17.4 million.

In October 2019, prior to its acquisition by the Company, PurePenn, LLC (“PurePenn”) sold their cannabis cultivation facility in Pennsylvania for $5.0 million. Simultaneously with the closing of the sale, PurePenn agreed to lease the cultivation facility back. The initial term of the lease is fifteen years, with two five-year options to renew. The landlord has agreed to provide a TI allowance of $21.0 million as an additional component of base rent. Payments are made based on one twelfth (1/12) of the TI allowance dispersed with 12.75% due for the first $5.0 million and 13.75% thereafter. On March 8, 2021, the Company entered into a lease amendment with the landlord to increase the tenant improvement allowance to $36.5 million at a rate of 10.75% on the additional allowance in excess of $21.0 million. As of September 30, 2021, $25.6 million of the TI allowance has been provided. As of September 30, 2021, the total finance liability associated with this transaction is $30.2 million.

Under the failed-sales-leaseback accounting model, the Company is deemed under U.S. GAAP to own the above mentioned real estate properties as financing arrangements since control was never transferred to the buyer-lessor. These agreements are presented on our condensed consolidated balance sheet within property and equipment, net and depreciated over the assets' remaining useful life.

NOTE 12. SHARE CAPITAL

The authorized share capital of the Company is comprised of the following:

(i) Unlimited number of Subordinate Voting Shares

Holders of the Subordinate Voting Shares are entitled to notice of and to attend any meeting of the shareholders of the Company, except a meeting of which only holders of another particular class or series of shares of the Company shall have the right to vote. At each such meeting holders of Subordinate Voting Shares shall be entitled to one vote in respect of each Subordinate Voting Share held. Holders of Subordinate Voting Shares are entitled to receive as and when declared by the directors, dividends in cash or property of the Company. No dividend will be declared or paid on the Subordinate Voting Shares unless the Company simultaneously declares or pays, as applicable, equivalent dividends (on an as-converted to Subordinate Voting Share basis) on the Multiple Voting Shares and Super Voting Shares.

As of September 30, 2021 and 2020, there were 74,611,611 and 58,134,478 Subordinate Voting Shares issued and outstanding, respectively.

(ii) Unlimited number of Multiple Voting Shares

Holders of Multiple Voting shares are entitled to notice of and to attend any meetings of the shareholders of the Company, except a meeting of which only holders of another particular class or series of shares of the Company have the right to vote. At each such meeting, holders of Multiple Voting Shares are entitled to one vote in respect of each Subordinate Voting Share into which such Multiple Voting Share could ultimately then be converted (initially, 100 votes per Multiple Voting Share). The initial “Conversation Ratio” for Multiple Voting Shares is 100 Subordinate Voting shares for each Multiple Voting Share, subject to adjustment in certain events. Holders of Multiple Voting Shares have the right to receive dividends, out of any cash or other assets legally available therefore, pari passu (on an as converted basis, assuming conversion of all Multiple Voting Shares into Subordinate Voting Shares at the Conversion Ratio) as to dividends and any declaration or payment of any dividend on the Subordinate Voting Shares.

No dividend may be declared or paid on the Multiple Voting Shares unless the Company simultaneously declares or pays, as applicable, equivalent dividends (on an as-converted to Subordinate Voting Share basis) on the Subordinate Voting Shares and Super Voting Shares.

As of September 30, 2021 and 2020, there were 549,196, and 14,770 Multiple Voting Shares issued and outstanding, respectively, which were equal to 54,919,596, and 1,476,959 Subordinate Voting Shares, respectively, if converted.

(iii) Unlimited number of Super Voting Shares

Holders of Super Voting Shares are entitled to notice of and to attend at any meeting of the shareholders of the Company, except a meeting of which only holders of another particular class or series of shares of the Company shall have the right to vote. At each such meeting, holders of Super Voting Shares are be entitled to two votes in respect of each Subordinate Voting Share into which such Super Voting Share could ultimately then be converted (initially, 200 votes per Super Voting Share). Holders of Super Voting Shares have the right to receive dividends, out of any cash or other assets legally available therefore, pari passu (on an as converted to Subordinated Voting Share basis) as to dividends and any declaration or payment of any dividend on the Subordinate Voting Shares. No dividend is to be declared or paid on the Super Voting Shares unless the Company simultaneously declares or pays, as applicable, equivalent dividends (on an as-converted to Subordinate Voting Share basis) on the Subordinate Voting Shares and Multiple Voting Shares. The initial “Conversion Ratio” for the Super Voting Shares is one Multiple Voting Share for each Super Voting Share, subject to adjustment in certain events.

On March 21, 2021, in accordance with the terms of the Company’s Articles, all of the outstanding Super Voting Shares converted automatically, without any action by the holders of such Super Voting Shares, into Multiple Voting Shares and, following that conversion, the Company may not issue additional Super Voting Shares.

As of September 30, 2021, there were no Super Voting Shares issued or outstanding. As of September 30, 2020, there were 581,825 Super Voting Shares issued or outstanding which were equal to 58,182,500 Super Voting Shares if converted.

NOTE 13. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Equity Incentive Plans

The Company’s 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”) was adopted at the annual meeting of shareholders. The 2021 Plan reserves 4,000,000 Subordinate Voting Shares for issuance thereunder and replaced the Schyan Exploration Inc. Stock Option Plan (the “Prior Plan”). Awards previously granted under the Prior Plan, including equity awards granted in the first quarter of 2021 for performance in 2020, remain subject to the terms of the Prior Plan. No further grants of awards shall be made under the Prior Plan. The Prior Plan is administered by the Board of Directors of the Company and the 2021 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee. The 2021 Plan provides for the grant of Incentive Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Shares, Performance Share Units, and Other Awards. As of September 30, 2021 a total of 895,877 awards were granted under the 2021 Plan between the date of its adoption by shareholders on June 10, 2021 and September 30, 2021.

Options

The fair value of stock options granted by the Company during 2021 and 2020, under the Prior Plan, were estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the relevant assumptions outlined in the table below. The expected volatility was estimated by using the historical volatility of other companies that the Company considers comparable that have trading and volatility history prior to the Company becoming public. The expected life in years represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate was based on the United States three-year bond yield rate at the time of grant of the award. Expected annual rate of dividends is based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and does not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

On January 3, 2020, under the Prior Plan, the Board awarded options to purchase shares to directors, officers, and key employees of the Company. In accordance with the Prior Plan’s policy, the vesting period for employees is 15% as of the date of issuance, 25% vested on December 31, 2020, and 60% vest on December 31, 2021. For founding members of the Board of Directors, the options were fully vested on the date of grant. For non-founding members of the Board of Directors, 50% of the options were vested on December 31, 2020, and 50% will vest on December 31, 2021.

On January 4, 2021, under the Prior Plan, the Board awarded options to purchase shares to directors, officers, and key employees of the Company. In accordance with the Prior Plan’s policy, the vesting period for employees is 15% vest on December 31, 2021, 25% vest on December 31, 2022, and 60% vest on December 31, 2023. For founding and non-founding members of the Board of Directors, 50% of the options vest on December 31, 2021, and 50% will vest on December 31, 2022.

On September 29, 2021, under the 2021 Plan, the Board awarded options to purchase shares to officers and other select employees of the Company. The options vest over three years and have a contractual term between six and seven years. In accordance with the 2021 Plan’s policy, the vesting period for directors and officers is 33 1/3% vest on December 1, 2021, 33 1/3% vest on December 1, 2022, and 33 1/3% vest on December 1, 2023.

This is recognized as $0.2 million cost of goods sold, net, $1.6 million general and administrative and $0.4 million sales and marketing in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

The number and weighted-average exercise prices and remaining contractual life of options at September 30, 2021 were as follows:


	Number of options			Weighted average exercise price		Weighted average remaining contractual life (yrs)		Aggregate intrinsic value
Outstanding at January 1, 2021		1,129,774			11.72		4.01		—

Exercisable, September 30, 2021		517,672		$	11.71		3.34	$	15.20

Total unvested options as of September 30, 2021, are 1,452,824 which are expected to vest over time and have an aggregate unrecognized compensation expense of $8.5 million. The unrecognized compensation expense will be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.09 years.

As noted above, following shareholder approval of the 2021 Plan, no further grants of awards shall be made under the Prior Plan.

Restricted Stock Units

Restricted stock units ("RSUs") represent a right to receive a single Subordinate Voting Share that is both non-transferable and forfeitable unless and until certain conditions are satisfied. RSUs vest ratably over a two to three year period subject to continued employment through each anniversary. The fair value of RSUs is determined on the grant date and is amortized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. On September 15, 2021, the Board awarded RSUs to officers of the Company as replacement awards for cancelled warrants, which vest immediately. On September 29, 2021, under the 2021 Plan, the Board awarded RSUs to officers, and other select employees of the Company, which vest over a two to three year period.


	Number of restricted stock units			Weighted average grant price
Balance as of January 1, 2021		—			—
Granted		3,249,319			25.45
Vested		(2,904,079	)		25.28
Forfeited		—			—
Balance as of September 30, 2021		345,240		$	26.88

No share-based compensation expense was recorded for RSUs during the three months ended September 30, 2021.

In September 2021, the Board of Directors approved grants of RSUs for two executive officers who previously held warrants. The previously held warrants were cancelled on September 15, 2021 with the new RSUs granted on September 15, 2021 as a replacement of the previously held warrants. The two officers were awarded a total premium of $3.1 million, allocated between the two officers, to incentivize the cancellation and replacement. No share-based compensation expense was recorded related to the cancellation and replacement of the previous warrants with the new RSUs during the three months ended September 30, 2021.

Warrants

During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company issued 8,784,872 warrants to certain employees and directors of the Company for past services provided. The warrants had no vesting conditions and are exercisable at any time for three years after the issuance, subject to certain lock-up provisions: (i) the warrants may not be exercised for 18 months following the Issue Date; (ii) 50% of the warrants may be exercised between months 19-24 following the Issue Date; and (iii) the remaining 50% of the warrants may be exercised

at any time thereafter until expiration. The warrants are exchangeable into Subordinate Voting Shares. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, no warrants related to share-based compensation were issued. As the warrants had no vesting conditions, the entire share-based compensation expense of $15.0 million was recognized when the warrants were issued in 2018.

The following table summarizes the warrants issued and outstanding to certain employees and directors of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and the changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2021:

NOTE 17. CONTINGENCIES

(a) Operating Licenses

Although the possession, cultivation and distribution of cannabis for medical use is permitted in Florida, Massachusetts, California, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and West Virginia, cannabis is a Schedule-I controlled substance and its use and possession remains a violation of federal law. Since federal law criminalizing the use of cannabis preempts state laws that legalize its use, strict enforcement of federal law regarding cannabis would likely result in the Company’s inability to proceed with our business plans. In addition, the Company’s assets, including real property, cash and cash equivalents, equipment and other goods, could be subject to asset forfeiture because cannabis is still federally illegal.

(b) Claims and Litigation

From time to time, the Company may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of operations in the normal course of business. Except as disclosed below, at September 30, 2021, there were no pending or threatened lawsuits that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the results of the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. There are also no proceedings in which any of the Company’s directors, officers or affiliates is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to the Company’s interest.

On December 30, 2019, a securities class-action complaint, David McNear v. Trulieve Cannabis Corp. et al., Case No. 1:19-cv-07289, was filed against the Company in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York. On February 12, 2020, a second securities class-action complaint, Monica Acerra v. Trulieve Cannabis Corp. et al., Case No. 1:20-cv-00775, which is substantially similar to the complaint filed on December 30, 2019, was filed against the Company in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York. Both complaints name the Company, Kim Rivers, and Mohan Srinivasan as defendants for allegedly making materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company’s previously reported financial statements and public statements about its business, operations, and prospects. The complaint alleges violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and SEC Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The complaint sought unspecified damages, costs, attorneys’ fees, and equitable relief. On March 20, 2020, the Court consolidated the two related actions under In re Trulieve Cannabis Corp. Securities Litigation, No. 1:19-cv-07289, and appointed William Kurek, John Colomara, David McNear, and

Monica Acerra as Lead Plaintiffs. After consultation with legal counsel, the Company believes that the suit is immaterial and that the claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against them.

NOTE 18. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Harvest Health & Recreation

On October 1, 2021 (the "Closing Date"), the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of Harvest Health & Recreation Inc. ("Harvest") pursuant to an Arrangement Agreement, dated May 10, 2021 ("the Arrangement Agreement"). On the Closing Date, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding subordinate voting shares, multiple voting shares and super voting shares (collectively the "Harvest Shares") of Harvest. Pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, holders of Harvest Shares received 0.1170 of a Subordinate Voting Share of the Company for each subordinate voting share of Harvest held. In total, the Company issued an aggregate of 50,874,175 Trulieve Shares, representing a value of $1.4 billion, in connection with the exchange for all of the issued and outstanding Harvest shares.

The acquisition will be accounted for as a business combination in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805, Business Combinations. The Company has begun the process to determine the purchase price allocation for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed including estimating the fair values of intangible and tangible assets. Due to the limited time since the acquisition, these estimates and the initial accounting for the business combination have not been completed. As a result, the Company is unable to provide the amounts recognized as of the acquisition date for the major classes of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

Senior Secured Notes Due 2026

On October 6, 2021, the Company closed its previously announced private placement of 8% Senior Secured Notes (the "Notes") for aggregate gross proceeds of $350.0 million and net proceeds of $342.6 million. The Notes were issued at 100% face value, bear an interest rate of 8% per annum payable semi-annually in equal installments until the maturity date, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased. The Notes will mature on October 6, 2026 and may be redeemed in whole or in part, at any time from time to time, on or after October 6, 2023 at the application redemption price set forth in the Indenture. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds to redeem certain outstanding indebtedness of Harvest, and intends to use the remaining net proceeds for capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes.

Overview

We are a multi-state cannabis operator with licenses to operate in six states and we have received notice of intent to award a license in a seventh state. Headquartered in Quincy, Florida, we are the market leader for quality medical cannabis products and services in Florida and aim to be the brand of choice for medical and adult-use customers in all of the markets that we serve. All of the states in which we operate have adopted legislation to permit the use of cannabis products for medicinal purposes to treat specific conditions and diseases, which we refer to as medical cannabis. Recreational marijuana, or adult-use cannabis, is legal marijuana sold in licensed dispensaries to adults ages 21 and older. Thus far, of the states in which we operate, only California, Connecticut and Massachusetts have adopted legislation permitting commercialization of adult-use cannabis products. As previously disclosed, on October 1, 2021, we completed our previously announced acquisition of Harvest Health & Recreation Inc. (“Harvest”) and, as a result of the acquisition, our operations have expanded significantly effective as of such date.

As of September 30, 2021, we employed over 6,900 people, and we are committed to providing patients, which we refer to herein as “patients” or “customers,” a consistent and welcoming retail experience across Trulieve branded stores. We have nine material subsidiaries: Trulieve, Inc., or Trulieve US; Leef Industries, LLC, or Leef Industries; Life Essence, Inc., or Life Essence; Trulieve Holdings, Inc., or Trulieve Holdings; Trulieve Bristol, Inc. (formerly The Healing Corner, Inc.) or Healing Corner; PurePenn LLC, or PurePenn; Keystone Relief Centers, LLC or Solevo Wellness; Trulieve WV, Inc., or Trulieve WV; and Trulieve GA, Inc., or Trulieve GA. Each of Trulieve US, Leef Industries, Life Essence, Trulieve Holdings, Healing Corner, PurePenn LLC, Solevo Wellness and Trulieve WV is wholly owned (directly or indirectly) by Trulieve Cannabis Corp. Trulieve GA is 40% owned (indirectly) by Trulieve Cannabis Corp. As of September 30, 2021, the majority of our revenue was generated from the sale of medical cannabis products in the State of Florida and in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. To date, neither the sale of adult-use cannabis products, nor our operations in Massachusetts, California, Connecticut, or West Virginia, have been material to our business.

Florida

Trulieve US is a vertically integrated “seed to sale” cannabis company and is the largest licensed medical marijuana company in the State of Florida. As of September 30, 2021, publicly available reports filed with the Florida Office of Medical Marijuana Use show Trulieve US to have the most dispensing locations and the greatest dispensing volume across product categories out of all licensed medical marijuana businesses in the state. Trulieve US cultivates and produces all of its products in-house and distributes those products to patients in Trulieve branded stores (dispensaries) throughout the State of Florida, as well as directly to patients via home delivery. Our experience in the vertically integrated Florida market has given us the ability to scale and penetrate in all necessary business segments (cultivation, production, sales, and distribution). Trulieve US has the experience necessary to increase market leadership in Florida and employ that expertise effectively in other regulated markets.

As of September 30, 2021, Trulieve US operated approximately 2.2 million square feet of cultivation facilities across six sites. In accordance with Florida law, Trulieve US grows in secure enclosed indoor facilities and greenhouse structures.

Massachusetts

Life Essence operates a co-located medical and adult-use dispensaries in Northampton and Worcester and Medical Marijuana cultivation and product manufacturing facility in Holyoke. Life Essence also has been awarded Final Licenses for Adult-Use cultivation and processing at the same facility in Holyoke, and provisional certificates of registration for medical marijuana dispensaries in Holyoke and Cambridge. Upon entry of its existing plant stock into the state’s seed to sale tracking system and clearance from the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission, Life Essence became fully operational in the third quarter of 2021, under its adult-use cultivation and processing licenses, including in the wholesale market. The completion of these licensing processes will further enable Life Essence to

capitalize on its investment in infrastructure and engage in vertically integrated operations in both adult-use and medical markets in Massachusetts.

On July 2, 2021, Life Essence closed a transaction with Patient Centric of Martha’s Vineyard Ltd., or PCMV, in which Life Essence purchased certain assets of PCMV, including the rights to a Provisional Marijuana Retailer License from the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission in Framingham, Massachusetts, and necessary municipal entitlements and a leasehold interest to operate as a marijuana retailer at the property. On June 29, 2021, Life Essence closed a transaction with Nature’s Remedy of Massachusetts, Inc., or Nature’s Remedy, and Sammartino Investments, LLC, pursuant to which Life Essence agreed to purchase certain assets of Nature’s Remedy including a Final Marijuana Retailer License from the Cannabis Control Commission, assignment of a long-term lease for real property in Worcester, Massachusetts for use as a marijuana retailer, and necessary municipal entitlements to operate as a marijuana retailer at the property. Following a satisfactory post final license inspection from the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission, this marijuana retailer location in Worcester, Massachusetts commenced operations in August 2021.

California

Leef Industries operates a licensed medical and adult-use cannabis dispensary located in Palm Springs, California. Trulieve believes Leef Industries has demonstrated encouraging growth in the market, offering in-store and online shopping, along with product home delivery. Leef Industries is in the process of Trulieve rebranding and alignment with corporate operational standards, which we believe will increase consumer appeal and operational efficiency. The dispensary helps us stay abreast of trends on the west coast and in a robust and innovative cannabis market distinguished by local competition between diverse and numerous operators.

Connecticut

Healing Corner is a licensed pharmacist-managed medical cannabis dispensary located in Bristol, Connecticut. Healing Corner was founded in 2014 and provides a range of medical marijuana products produced by high quality licensed suppliers. At the dispensary, a licensed pharmacist and trained staff provide on-site counseling and education to patients. Patients may reserve their medical marijuana order through Healing Corner’s innovative Canna-Fill online system. Under Connecticut’s adult-use cannabis legislation, which was enacted July 1, 2021, Healing Corner will have an opportunity to convert to hybrid adult-use and medical sales.

Pennsylvania

On November 12, 2020, we completed the acquisition of 100% of the membership interests of: (i) PurePenn LLC and Pioneer Leasing & Consulting LLC, which we refer to collectively as PurePenn, and (ii) Keystone Relief Centers, LLC, which does business as and we refer to herein as Solevo Wellness. PurePenn operates cannabis cultivation and manufacturing facilities in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area and currently wholesales to 100% of the operating dispensaries in Pennsylvania. Solevo Wellness operates three medical marijuana dispensaries in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area. On July 8, 2021, we completed the acquisition of 100% of the membership interest of Anna Holdings LLC, which does business as Keystone Shops and operates three dispensaries in the Philadelphia area.

West Virginia

On November 13, 2020, Trulieve WV was awarded a processor permit by the West Virginia Office of Medical Cannabis. On January 29, 2021, Trulieve WV was notified that it has been awarded four dispensary permits by the West Virginia Office of Medical Cannabis. On March 22, 2021, we entered into a membership interest purchase agreement with Mountaineer Holding, LLC (“Mountaineer”). Mountaineer holds a West Virginia cultivation license and two dispensary licenses. The acquisition of Mountaineer was completed on May 5, 2021. On June 8, 2021, we completed the acquisition of Solevo Wellness West Virginia LLC and its three West Virginia dispensary permits. On June 29, 2021, we received approval from the West Virginia Office of Medical Cannabis to begin cultivation operations, making Trulieve the first in the state of West Virginia to begin cultivating medical cannabis. We are actively working to obtain approval for processing and dispensing operations as soon as reasonably practicable, which will vary by location depending on permitting and construction timelines.

Georgia

On July 24, 2021, Trulieve GA received a Notice of Intent to award a Class 1 Production License from the Georgia Access to Medical Cannabis Commission. The Notice of Intent to award is a notice of the Georgia Access to Medical Cannabis Commission’s expected contract award to Trulieve GA pending resolution of a protest process. If the contract is awarded, Trulieve GA will hold one of two Class 1 Production Licenses in the state and will be permitted to cultivate cannabis for the manufacture of low THC oil.

Recent Developments

Harvest Acquisition

On May 10, 2021, the Company entered into an Arrangement Agreement (the "Arrangement Agreement") with Harvest Health & Recreation Inc., a British Columbia corporation (“Harvest”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding equity securities of Harvest. Under the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, shareholders of Harvest will receive 0.1170 of a Subordinate Voting Share of Trulieve for each Harvest subordinate voting share (or equivalent) held.

On October 1, 2021 (the "Closing Date"), the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of Harvest pursuant to an Arrangement Agreement. On the Closing Date, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding subordinate voting shares, multiple voting shares and super voting shares (collectively the "Harvest Shares") of Harvest. Pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, holders of Harvest Shares received 0.1170 of a Subordinate Voting Share of the Company for each subordinate voting share of Harvest held. In total, the Company issued an aggregate of 50,874,175 Trulieve Shares, representing total consideration of approximately $1.4 billion based on the closing price of Trulieve's Subordinate Voting Shares on September 30, 2021.

Prior to the acquisition, Harvest was one of the largest multi-state vertically integrated operators in the cannabis industry in the United States operating from “seed to sale.” Harvest is one of the largest operators in the state of Arizona, which is one of the largest medical and recreational cannabis markets in the country and one of the oldest regulated cannabis markets in the world. Harvest operates facilities or provides services to cannabis dispensaries in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Maryland, Nevada, North Dakota (on February 19, 2021, Harvest completed the divestiture of its North Dakota retail assets), Pennsylvania and Utah, with two provisional licenses in Massachusetts. In addition, Harvest owns CO2 extraction, distillation, purification and manufacturing technology used to produce a line of cannabis topicals, vapes and gems featuring cannabinoids and a hemp-derived product line sold in Colorado. We expect the Harvest acquisition will have a significant impact on our results of operations and financial condition as of and for the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2021 and in future periods as we integrate Harvest’s business with our existing operations.

Senior Secured Notes Due 2026

On October 6, 2021, the Company closed its previously announced private placement of 8% Senior Secured Notes (the "Notes") for aggregate gross proceeds of $350.0 million and net proceeds of $342.6 million. The Notes were issued at 100% face value, bear an interest rate of 8% per annum payable semi-annually in equal installments until the maturity date, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased. The Notes will mature on October 6, 2026 and may be redeemed in whole or in part, at any time from time to time, on or after October 6, 2023 at the application redemption price set forth in the Indenture. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds to redeem certain outstanding indebtedness of Harvest, and intends to use the remaining portion of the net proceeds for capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes.

Other Developments

On September 29, 2021, the Board of Directors of the Company appointed Rebecca Young as Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer (and principal accounting officer) of the Company and its subsidiaries. Alex D'Amico, the Company's Chief Financial Officer and principal financial officer, will no longer serve as principal accounting officer of the Company.

Management’s Use of Non-GAAP Measures

Our management uses financial measures that are not in accordance with U.S. GAAP, in addition to financial measures in accordance with GAAP to evaluate our operating results. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental to, and not a

substitute for, our reported financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure that is not defined under GAAP. Our management uses this non-GAAP financial measure and believes it enhances an investor’s understanding of our financial and operating performance from period to period because it excludes certain material non-cash items and certain other adjustments management believes are not reflective of our ongoing operations and performance. Adjusted EBITDA excludes from net income as reported interest, share-based compensation, tax, depreciation, acquisition and transaction costs, integration and transition costs, fair value step-up of inventory from acquisitions, COVID related expenses, non-cash expenses, other non-recurring costs and other income. Trulieve reports adjusted EBITDA to help investors assess the operating performance of the Corporation’s business. The financial measures noted above are metrics that have been adjusted from the GAAP net income measure in an effort to provide readers with a normalized metric in making comparisons more meaningful across the cannabis industry, as well as to remove non-recurring, irregular and one-time items that may otherwise distort the GAAP net income measure.

As noted above, our Adjusted EBITDA is not prepared in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation of, or as an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. There are a number of limitations related to the use of Adjusted EBITDA rather than net income, which is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Because of these limitations, we consider, and you should consider, Adjusted EBITDA together with other operating and financial performance measures presented in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA from net income, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, has been included herein.

Components of Results of Operations

Revenue

We derive our revenue from cannabis products which we manufacture, sell, and distribute to our customers by home delivery and in our dispensaries, as well as sales of cannabis products to wholesale customers in select markets.

Gross Profit

Gross profit includes the costs directly attributable to product sales and includes amounts paid to produce finished goods, such as flower, and concentrates, as well as packaging and other supplies, fees for services and processing, allocated overhead which includes allocations of rent, administrative salaries, utilities, and related costs. Cannabis costs are affected by various state regulations that limit the sourcing and procurement of cannabis product, which may create fluctuations in margins over comparative periods as the regulatory environment changes.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel costs related to the dispensaries as well as marketing programs for our products. As we continue to expand and open additional dispensaries, we expect our sales and marketing expenses to continue to increase.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses represent costs incurred at our corporate offices, primarily related to personnel costs, including salaries, incentive compensation, benefits, and other professional service costs, including legal and accounting. We expect to continue to invest considerably in this area to support our expansion plans and to support the increasing complexity of the cannabis business. Furthermore, we expect to continue to incur acquisition, transaction, and integration costs related to our expansion plans, and we anticipate a significant increase in compensation expenses related to recruiting and hiring talent, accounting, and legal and professional fees associated with becoming compliant with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and other public company corporate expenses.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation expense is calculated on a straight-line basis using the estimated useful life of each asset. Estimated useful life is determined by asset class and is reviewed on an annual basis and revised if necessary. Amortization expense is recognized using the

straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the intangible assets. Useful lives for intangible assets are determined by type of asset with the initial determination of useful life derived during the valuation of the business combination. On an annual basis, the useful lives of each intangible class of assets are evaluated for appropriateness and adjusted if appropriate.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Interest and other income (expense), net consist primarily of interest income and interest expense. Prior to December 10, 2020, the impact of the revaluation of the debt warrants was a significant component.

Provision for Income Taxes

Provision for income taxes is calculated using the asset and liability method. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on enacted tax rates and laws for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

As we operate in the cannabis industry, we are subject to the limits of IRC Section 280E under which we are only allowed to deduct expenses directly related to the cost of producing the products or cost of production.

Revenues, net of discounts	$	224,092	$	136,274	64%	$	633,037	$	353,096	79%

Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $224.1 million, an increase of $87.8 million, from $136.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $633.0 million, an increase of $279.9 million, from $353.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in revenue is the result of an increase in organic growth in retail sales due to an increase in products available for purchase and overall patient count, as well as expansion of the wholesale business. Between September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2021, we opened or acquired forty-two dispensaries, which also contributed to the increased retail sales year over year. Revenue from businesses acquired also contributed to the increase for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

% of total revenues		31	%		25	%			31	%		25	%

Cost of goods sold for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $70.1 million, an increase of $36.1 million, from $34.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. Cost of goods sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $199.3 million, an increase of $112.8 million, from $86.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, due to an increase in retail sales as a result of an increase in dispensaries and patient count. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenue increased from 25% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to 31% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 due to our expansion into new markets, ramping of infrastructure in core markets, and product mix.

Gross Profit

	September 30,						Change	September 30,						Change
	2021			2020			%	2021			2020			%

% of total revenues		69	%		75	%			69	%		75	%

Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $153.9 million, up $51.8 million or 51% from $102.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $433.7 million, up $167.2 million or 63% from $266.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as a result of an increase in retail sales due to the additional number of dispensaries, products available for sale and patient count. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased from 75% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to 69%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease is caused by expansion into new markets, ramping of infrastructure in core markets, product mix and macro-economic factors centered around prices and labor.

Sales and Marketing Expenses


	Three Months Ended							Nine Months Ended
	September 30,						Change	September 30,						Change
	2021			2020			%	2021			2020			%

% of total revenues		23	%		23	%			23	%		23	%

Sales and marketing expense increased by 67% from $30.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 to $51.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Sales and marketing expense increased from $80.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to $142.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $62.1 million, or 77%. The increase in sales and marketing expense is the result of a higher headcount for the year, as we continue to add additional dispensaries in efforts to maintain and further drive higher growth in sales and market share as well as expanding into new markets. This increased headcount resulted in higher personnel costs, which is the primary driver for the increase year over year.

General and Administrative Expenses


	Three Months Ended							Nine Months Ended
	September 30,						Change	September 30,						Change
	2021			2020			%	2021			2020			%

% of total revenues		13	%		6	%			9	%		6	%

General and administrative expense for the three months ended September 30, 2021 increased by 232% to $28.2 million from $8.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. General and administrative expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased to $55.9 million from $22.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, an increase of $33.2 million, or 146%. The increase in general and administrative expense is the result of entering new markets, ramping our infrastructure to support growth initiatives, continued acquisitions resulting in additional transaction and integration costs and increased go-forward compliance costs. General and administrative expenses included acquisition and transaction costs of $11.1 million and $14.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. Also included in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 is $4.2 million related to premiums on equity transactions.

Depreciation and Amortization Expenses

% of total revenues		3	%		2	%			3	%		2	%

Depreciation and amortization expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $19.8 million, up $11.2 million, from $8.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The overall increase in depreciation and amortization expenses was due to investment in infrastructure that resulted in a higher number of capitalized assets from the additional dispensaries and cultivation facilities. Furthermore, amortization expense increased due to acquisitions and acquired intangibles.

Total Other Expense, Net

% of total revenues		3	%		12	%			3	%		8	%

Total other expense, net for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was expense of $6.1 million, a decrease of $10.1 million from expense of $16.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. Total other expense, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was expense of $20.3 million, a decrease of $7.1 million from expense of $27.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The overall decrease is the result of the revaluation of debt warrants for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, partially offset by an increase in interest expense related to additional finance leases to support business growth.

On December 10, 2020, the Company entered into a Supplemental Warrant Indenture with Odyssey Trust Company pursuant to which it amended the terms of the issued and outstanding subordinate voting share purchase warrants of the Company (the “Public Warrants”) to convert the exercise price of the Public Warrants to $13.47 per share, the U.S. dollar equivalent of the Canadian dollar exercise price of the Public Warrants of C$17.25. As a result of this, the Public Warrants converted to equity in December 2020, eliminating revaluation expense in future periods.

Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased to $105.3 million from $67.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, an increase of $38.1 million, or 57% as a result of a $167.2 million increase in gross profit for the same periods. Under IRC Section 280E, cannabis companies are only allowed to deduct expenses that are directly related to production of the products. The Company's quarterly tax provision, and our quarterly estimate of our annual effective tax rate, is subject to change resulting from several factors, including variability in forecasting our pre-tax and taxable income due to external changes in market condition changes in statutes, regulations and administrative practices, principles, and interpretations related to tax. The effective tax rate can be more or less volatile based on the amount of pre-tax income or loss. The impact of discrete items and non-deductible expenses on our effective tax rate is greater when our pre-tax income is lower. The increase in income tax expense is due to the increase in gross profit as a result of the increase in revenue as well as variability in the effective tax rate calculation which produced a large amount of tax expense in the quarter. The three months ended September 30, 2021, saw an increased tax expense as compared to prior periods due to variability in the effective tax rate.

	(dollars in thousands)					(dollars in thousands)
Net income and comprehensive income	$	18,616	$	17,415	7%	$	89,574	$	59,958	49%

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $18.6 million, an increase of $1.2 million, from $17.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $89.6 million, an increase of $29.6 million or 49%, from $60.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase was driven primarily by the opening of additional dispensaries, an increase in products available for purchase, and overall patient count. These increases were offset by cost of goods sold which was driven by product mix. In addition, increases in sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses such as personnel costs, dispensary expenses, depreciation, interest expense, costs of entering new markets, ramping infrastructure, acquisition and transaction costs, integration costs, and go-forward compliance, all contributed to the offset. Income taxes also increased period over period, due to both gross profit increases and effective tax rate variances.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity

Since our inception, we have funded our operations and capital spending through cash flows from product sales, loans from affiliates and entities controlled by our affiliates, third-party debt, and proceeds from the sale of our capital stock. We are generating cash from sales and are deploying our capital reserves to acquire and develop assets capable of producing additional revenues and earnings over both the immediate and long term to support our business growth and expansion. Our current principal sources of liquidity are our cash and cash equivalents provided by our operations and debt and equity offerings. Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash on deposit with banks and money market funds. Cash and cash equivalents were $213.6 million as of September 30, 2021.

We believe our existing cash balances will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements from the report issuance date through at least the next twelve months.

Our primary uses of cash are for working capital requirements, capital expenditures and debt service payments. Additionally, from time to time, we may use capital for acquisitions and other investing and financing activities. Working capital is used principally for our personnel as well as costs related to the growth, manufacture, and production of our products. Our capital expenditures consist primarily of additional facilities and dispensaries, improvements in existing facilities and product development.

To the extent additional funds are necessary to meet our long-term liquidity needs as we continue to execute our business strategy, we anticipate that they will be obtained through incurrence of additional indebtedness, additional equity financings or a combination of these potential sources of funds. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional funds on terms acceptable to us, on a timely basis, or at all. The failure to obtain sufficient funds on acceptable terms when needed could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations and financial condition.

The following table presents our cash and outstanding debt as of the dates indicated:


	Nine Months Ended September 30,		Year Ended December 31,
	2021		2020

Cash Flow from Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $75.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $2.2 million, compared to $72.8 million net cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This is primarily due to increased net income offset by increases in net working capital requirements, including inventory, as we ramp the business to support our growth.

Cash Flow from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $237.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $146.8 million, compared to the $90.8 million net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase is due to the increase of property and equipment purchases for the construction of additional dispensaries and continued expansion of our cultivation and processing facilities, as well as acquisitions completed during the period.

Cash Flow from Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $229.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $109.9 million, compared to the $119.5 million net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to proceeds from the closing of an underwritten, marketed public offering of 5,750,000 Subordinate Voting Shares resulting in gross proceeds, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by us, of $227.9 million (after giving effect to the conversion rate on April 7, 2021) as well as proceeds from share warrant exercises and proceeds from construction finance liabilities.

Funding Sources

Promissory Notes

In 2017, we entered into three unsecured promissory notes with a 12% annual interest rate, which was amended in January 2019 to extend the maturity by three years to 2022. The balance of these notes is $4.0 million. On December 17, 2017, we entered into a promissory note with a 12% annual interest rate and a balance of $2.0 million, which will mature December 2021. These notes were paid in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Related Party Promissory Notes

In February 2019, we entered into a 24-month unsecured loan with an 8% annual interest rate with Benjamin Atkins, a former director and shareholder of Trulieve for $257,337. In March 2018, the Company entered into a 24-month unsecured loan with an 8% annual interest rate with Benjamin Atkins for $158,900. In June 2018, the Company entered into a 24-month unsecured loan with an 8% annual interest rate with Benjamin Atkins for $262,010. In November 2018, the Company entered into two separate 24-month unsecured loans each with an 8% annual interest rate with a former director and shareholder for a total of $474,864. As of the first quarter-ended March 31, 2021, all loans with Benjamin Atkins have matured and been paid in full.

In May 2018, the Company entered into two separate unsecured promissory notes (the “Traunch Four Note” and the “Rivers Note”) for a total of $12.0 million. The Traunch Four Note is held by Traunch Four, LLC, an entity whose direct and indirect owners include Kim Rivers, the Chief Executive Officer and Chair of the Board, as well as Thad Beshears, Richard May, who are each directors of Trulieve, George Hackney, a former director of Trulieve, and certain of Richard May’s family members. The Rivers Note is held by Kim Rivers. Each promissory note has a 24-month maturity and 12% annual interest rate. The two unsecured promissory notes were amended in March 2021 to extend the maturity one year to May 2022, all other terms remain unchanged. These notes were paid in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Balance Sheet Exposure

At September 30, 2021 and 2020, the entirety of our balance sheet is exposed to U.S. cannabis-related activities. We believe our operations are in material compliance with all applicable state and local laws, regulations, and licensing requirements in the states in which we operate. However, cannabis remains illegal under U.S. federal law. Substantially all our revenue is derived from U.S. cannabis operations. For information about risks related to U.S. cannabis operations, please refer to the “Risk Factors” section of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and "Part I, Item 1A - Risk Factors" in our 2020 Form 10-K.

Contractual Obligations

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of the date of this filing, we do not have any off-balance-sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on the results of operations or financial condition of, including, and without limitation, such considerations as liquidity and capital resources.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

There have been no material changes to our market risk disclosures as set forth in Part II Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

a. Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

Our management, with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of September 30, 2021, we did not maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures because of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described below.

Notwithstanding the material weakness described below, we have concluded that the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.

Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

As disclosed in "Note 2. Basis of Presentation" under "Revisions of Previously Issued Financial Statements" during the quarter ended September 30, 2021, management identified errors in the accounting for leases, asset acquisitions, and classification of assets. Management reviewed these errors identifying the root cause due to the control environment component of internal control as the Company did not maintain a sufficient complement of personnel with the appropriate level of knowledge, experience, and training in certain areas important to financial reporting. During 2021, even though a material misstatement was not identified in the Company’s financial statements, it was determined that there was a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement in the Company’s financial statements would not have been prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Management’s Remediation Measures

Management is committed to maintaining a strong internal control environment. In response to the identified material weakness in the overall control environment, management, with the oversight of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, has taken actions toward the remediation of the respective material weakness in internal control over financial reporting as outlined below.



Added additional positions including Chief Accounting Officer (“CAO”), Director of Financial Reporting, Assistant Controller, Director of Shared Services, Northeast Controller, and Tax Director to provide enhanced oversight and technical experience in certain areas important to financial reporting.



Engaged third party experts to assist management in assessing current processes and designing improved processes and controls for the consolidated Company.



Added a Chief Technology Officer (“CTO) to enhance the information technology environment including automation of processes and controls and finalization of an ongoing SAP implementation.



Reviewed business processes surrounding leases, acquisitions, and other complex financial reporting areas to identify and implement enhanced procedures related to internal controls.

Initial remediation efforts have been executed by the CAO, Director of Financial Reporting, and Assistant Controller with the implementation of control enhancements over internal controls over financial reporting.

These enhancements are targeted at strengthening the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and remediating the material weakness. We remain committed to an effective internal control environment and management believes that these actions and the improvements management expects to achieve as a result, will effectively remediate the material weakness. However, the material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting will not be considered remediated until the controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing that these controls operate effectively. As of the date of filing this Form 10-Q, management is in the process of testing and evaluating these additional controls to determine whether they are operating effectively.

b. Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Except for the material weakness and the remediation efforts described above, no other change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the quarter under review, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

Except as set forth below, there are no actual or to our knowledge contemplated legal proceedings material to us or to which any of our or any of our subsidiaries’ property is the subject matter.

On December 30, 2019, a securities class-action complaint, David McNear v. Trulieve Cannabis Corp. et al., Case No. 1:19-cv-07289, was filed against us in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York. On February 12, 2020, a second securities class-action complaint, Monica Acerra v. Trulieve Cannabis Corp. et al., Case No. 1:20-cv-00775, which is substantially similar to the complaint filed on December 30, 2019, was filed against us in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York. Both complaints name Trulieve, Kim Rivers, and Mohan Srinivasan as defendants for allegedly making materially false and misleading statements regarding our previously reported financial statements and public statements about our business, operations, and prospects. The complaint alleges violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The complaints sought unspecified damages, costs, attorneys’ fees, and equitable relief. On March 20, 2020, the Court consolidated the two related actions under In re Trulieve Cannabis Corp. Securities Litigation, No. 1:19-cv-07289, and appointed William Kurek, John Colomara, David McNear, and Monica Acerra as Lead Plaintiffs. The Company believes that the suit is immaterial and that the claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against them.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Investing in our Subordinate Voting Shares involves a high degree of risk. Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 includes a detailed discussion of our risk factors under the heading “Part I, Item 1A—Risk Factors.” Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes from such risk factors during the quarter ended September 30, 2021. You should consider carefully the risk factors discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and all other information contained in or incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q before making an investment decision. If any of the risks discussed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 or herein actually occur, they may materially harm our business, financial condition, operating results, cash flows or growth prospects. As a result, the market price of our Subordinate Voting Shares could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment. Additional risks and uncertainties that are not yet identified or that we think are immaterial may also materially harm our business, financial condition, operating results, cash flows or growth prospects and could result in a complete loss of your investment.

We have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, and our management has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective. While we are working to remediate any material weakness or significant deficiencies in our internal controls over financial reporting, we cannot assure you that additional material weaknesses or significant deficiencies will not occur in the future. If our internal control over financial reporting or our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud, which may cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and may lead to a decline in our stock price.

We have historically had a small internal accounting and finance staff. This lack of adequate accounting resources has resulted in the identification of a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting. A “material weakness” is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

As disclosed in this Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, our management team identified errors in the accounting for leases and asset acquisitions. Management reviewed these errors identifying the root cause due to the control environment component of internal control as the Company did not maintain a sufficient complement of personnel with the appropriate level of knowledge, experience, and training in certain areas important to financial reporting. During 2021, even though a material misstatement was not identified in the Company’s financial statements, it was determined that there was a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement in the Company’s financial statements would not have been prevented or detected on a timely basis.

We have taken actions toward the remediation of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting including: adding additional positions including Chief Accounting Officer, Director of Financial Reporting, Assistant Controller, Director of Shared Services, Northeast Controller, and Tax Director to provide enhanced oversight and technical experience in certain areas important to financial reporting; engaging third party experts to assist management in assessing current processes and designing improved processes and controls for the consolidated Company; adding a Chief Technology Officer to enhance the information technology environment

including automation of processes and controls and finalization of an ongoing SAP implementation; and reviewing business processes surrounding leases, acquisitions, and other complex financial reporting areas to identify and being the implementation of enhanced procedures related to internal controls. Nonetheless, the material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting will not be considered remediated until the controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing that these controls operate effectively. As of the date of this quarterly report, management is in the process of testing and evaluating these additional controls to determine whether they are operating effectively. We plan to continue to take additional steps to remediate the material weakness and improve our financial reporting systems and implement new policies, procedures and controls. If we do not successfully remediate the material weakness described above, or if other material weaknesses or other deficiencies arise in the future, we may be unable to accurately report our financial results, which could cause our financial results to be materially misstated and require restatement.

Trulieve and Harvest may not integrate successfully.

Trulieve and Harvest intend to integrate their operations. However, operational and strategic decisions and staffing decisions are ongoing. The closing of the acquisition presents challenges to management, including the integration of management structures, operations, information technology and accounting systems and personnel of the two companies, and special risks, including possible unanticipated liabilities, unanticipated costs, diversion of management’s attention and the loss of key employees or customers. The ability to realize the benefits of the Harvest acquisition may depend in part on successfully consolidating functions and integrating operations, procedures and personnel in a timely and efficient manner, as well as on Trulieve’s ability to realize the anticipated growth opportunities and synergies, efficiencies and cost savings from integrating Trulieve’s and Harvest’s businesses. The performance of the combined company could be adversely affected if the combined company cannot retain key employees to assist in the ongoing operations. As a result of these factors, it is possible that the cost reductions and synergies expected will not be realized. The difficulties that management encounters in the transition and integration processes could have an adverse effect on the revenues, level of expenses and operating results of the combined company. The amount and timing of the synergies the parties hope to realize may not occur as planned. As a result of these factors, it is possible that any anticipated benefits from the Harvest acquisition will not be realized.

Other than publicly-available information, Trulieve has relied on information made available by Harvest.

Other than publicly-available information, all historical information relating to Harvest in our public filings to date has been provided in exclusive reliance on the information made available by Harvest and its representatives. Although Trulieve has no reason to doubt the accuracy or completeness of the information provided by Harvest, any inaccuracy or omission in such information contained in our public filings could result in unanticipated liabilities or expenses, increase the cost of integrating Harvest into Trulieve’s existing business or adversely affect the operational plans of Trulieve and its result of operations and financial condition and may negatively affect the price of Trulieve’ Subordinate Voting Shares.

Disparate state-by-state regulatory landscapes and the constraints related to holding cannabis licenses in various states results in operational and legal structures for realizing the benefit from cannabis licenses that could result in materially detrimental consequences to us.

We realize, and will continue to realize, the benefits from cannabis licenses pursuant to a number of different structures, depending on the regulatory requirements from state-to-state, including, following the Harvest acquisition, realizing the economic benefit of cannabis licenses through management agreements and other commercial arrangements. Such agreements are often required to comply with applicable laws and regulations or are in response to perceived risks that we determine warrant such arrangements.

The foregoing structures present various risks to us and our subsidiaries including, but not limited to, the following risks, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations:



A governmental body or regulatory entity may determine that these structures are in violation of a legal or regulatory requirement or change such legal or regulatory requirements such that a commercial arrangement or management agreement structure violates such requirements (where it had not in the past). We will not be able to provide any assurance that a license application submitted by a third party will be accepted, especially if the management and operation of the license is dependent on a commercial arrangement or management agreement structure.



There could be a material and adverse impact on the revenue stream we intend to receive from or on account of cannabis licenses (as we will not be the license holder, and therefore any economic benefit is received pursuant to a contractual arrangement). If a commercial arrangement or management agreement is terminated, we will no longer receive any economic benefit from the applicable dispensary and/or cultivation license.



These structures could potentially result in the funds invested by us being used for unintended purposes, such as to fund litigation.



If a management agreement or commercial arrangement structure is in place, we will not be the license holder of the applicable state-issued cannabis license, and therefore, only have contractual rights in respect of any interest in any such license. If the license holder fails to adhere to its contractual agreement with us, or if the license holder makes, or omits to make, decisions in respect of the license that we disagree with, we will only have contractual recourse and will not have recourse to any regulatory authority.



The license holder may renege on its obligation to pay fees and other compensation pursuant to a commercial arrangement or management agreement or violate other provisions of these agreements.



The license holder’s acts or omissions may violate the requirements applicable to it pursuant to the applicable dispensary and/or cultivation license, thus jeopardizing the status and economic value of the license holder (and, by extension, of our business).



In the case of a management agreement, the license holder may terminate the agreement if any loan owing to us is paid back in full and the license holder is able to pay a break fee.



In the case of a commercial arrangement, the license holder is a generally an employee or officer of Harvest or one of its subsidiaries (or an affiliate or associate of such individual or individuals); however, in a typical management agreement structure, the license is owned by a party or parties unrelated to Harvest or any of its subsidiaries.



The license holder may attempt to terminate the commercial arrangement or management agreement in violation of its express terms.

In any or all of the above situations, it would be difficult and expensive for us to protect our rights through litigation, arbitration, or similar proceedings.

We operate in a highly regulated sector and may not always succeed in complying fully with applicable regulatory requirements in all jurisdictions where we carry on business including the jurisdictions in which Harvest, our newly acquired subsidiary, does business.

Our business and activities are heavily regulated in all jurisdictions where we carry on business. Our operations are subject to various laws, regulations and guidelines by state and local governmental authorities relating to the manufacture, marketing, management, transportation, storage, sale, pricing and disposal of cannabis and cannabis oil, and also including laws and regulations relating to health and safety, insurance coverage, the conduct of operations and the protection of the environment. Laws and regulations, applied generally, grant government agencies and self-regulatory bodies broad administrative discretion over our activities, including the power to limit or restrict business activities as well as impose additional disclosure requirements on our products and services. Achievement of our business objectives is contingent, in part, upon compliance with regulatory requirements enacted by these governmental authorities and obtaining all necessary regulatory approvals for the manufacture, production, storage, transportation, sale, import and export, as applicable, of our products. The commercial cannabis industry is still a new industry at the state and local level. The effect of relevant governmental authorities’ administration, application and enforcement of their respective regulatory regimes and delays in obtaining, or failure to obtain, applicable regulatory approvals which may be required may significantly delay or impact the development of markets, products and sales initiatives and could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, revenue, results of operation and financial condition.

While we endeavor to comply with all relevant laws, regulations and guidelines and, to our knowledge, we are in compliance or are in the process of being assessed for compliance with all such laws, regulations and guidelines, any failure to comply with the regulatory requirements applicable to our operations may lead to possible sanctions including the revocation or imposition of additional conditions on licenses to operate our business; the suspension or expulsion from a particular market or jurisdiction or of our key personnel; the imposition of additional or more stringent inspection, testing and reporting requirements; and the imposition of fines and censures. In addition, changes in regulations, more vigorous enforcement thereof or other unanticipated events could require extensive changes to our operations, increase compliance costs or give rise to material liabilities and/or revocation of our licenses and other permits, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Furthermore, governmental authorities may change their administration, application or enforcement procedures at any time, which may adversely impact our ongoing costs relating to regulatory compliance.

We may be subject to constraints on and differences in marketing our products under varying state laws, including the laws of the states in which Harvest, our recently acquired subsidiary operates.

There may be restrictions on sales and marketing activities imposed by government regulatory bodies that could hinder the development of our business and operating results. Restrictions may include regulations that specify what, where and to whom product information and descriptions may appear and/or be advertised. Marketing, advertising, packaging and labeling regulations also vary from state to state, potentially limiting the consistency and scale of consumer branding communication and product education efforts. The regulatory environment in the U.S. limits our ability to compete for market share in a manner similar to other industries. If we are unable to effectively market our products and compete for market share, or if the costs of compliance with government legislation and regulation cannot be absorbed through increased selling prices for our products, our sales and operating results could be adversely affected.

Our subsidiaries, including Harvest, may not be able to obtain or maintain necessary permits and authorizations.

Our subsidiaries may not be able to obtain or maintain the necessary licenses, permits, certificates, authorizations or accreditations to operate their respective businesses, or may only be able to do so at great cost. In addition, our subsidiaries may not be able to comply fully with the wide variety of laws and regulations applicable to the cannabis industry. Failure to comply with or to obtain the necessary licenses, permits, certificates, authorizations or accreditations could result in restrictions on a subsidiary’s ability to operate in the cannabis industry, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

We face exposure to fraudulent or illegal activity by employees, contractors, consultants and agents, including the employees, contractors, consultants and agents of Harvest, our recently acquired subsidiary, which may subject us to investigations and actions.

We will be exposed to the risk that any of their employees, independent contractors and consultants may engage in fraudulent or other illegal activity. Misconduct by these parties could include intentional, reckless and/or negligent conduct or disclosure of unauthorized activities to us that violates, (i) government regulations, (ii) manufacturing standards, (iii) federal and provincial healthcare fraud and abuse laws and regulations, or (iv) laws that require the true, complete and accurate reporting of financial information or data. It may not always be possible for us to identify and deter misconduct by our employees and other third parties, and the precautions taken by us to detect and prevent this activity may not be effective in controlling unknown or unmanaged risks or losses or in protecting us from governmental investigations or other actions or lawsuits stemming from a failure to be in compliance with such laws or regulations. We cannot provide assurance that our internal controls and compliance systems will protect us from acts committed by our employees, agents or business partners in violation of U.S. federal or state or local laws. If any such actions are instituted against us, and we are not successful in defending or asserting our rights, those actions could have a material impact on our business, including the imposition of civil, criminal and administrative penalties, damages, monetary fines, contractual damages, reputational harm, diminished profits and future earnings, and curtailment of our operations, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

We may encounter increasingly strict environmental regulation in connection with our operations and the associated permitting, which may increase the expenses for cannabis production or subject us to enforcement actions by regulatory authorities.

Our operations are subject to environmental regulation in the various jurisdictions in which they operate. These regulations mandate, among other things, the maintenance of air and water quality standards and land reclamation. They also set forth limitations on the generation, transportation, storage and disposal of solid and hazardous waste. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner which will require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees. There is no assurance that future changes in environmental regulation, if any, will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Government approvals and permits are currently, and may in the future be, required in connection with our operations. To the extent such approvals are required and not obtained, we may be curtailed or prohibited from our proposed production of cannabis or from proceeding with the development of our operations as currently proposed.

Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions thereunder, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment, or remedial actions. The subsidiaries may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of their operations and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of applicable laws or regulations.

Amendments to current laws, regulations and permits governing the production of cannabis, or more stringent implementation thereof, could cause increases in expenses, capital expenditures or production costs or reduction in levels of production or require abandonment or delays in development, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

We may be required to disclose personal information to government or regulatory entities in the jurisdictions in which we do business, including the government and regulatory agencies in the jurisdictions in which Harvest, our recently acquired subsidiary, does business.

We own, manage, or provide services to various U.S. state licensed cannabis operations. Acquiring even a minimal and/or indirect interest in a U.S. state-licensed cannabis business can trigger requirements to disclose investors’ personal information. While these requirements vary by jurisdiction, some require interest holders to apply for regulatory approval and to provide tax returns, compensation agreements, fingerprints for background checks, criminal history records and other documents and information. Some states require disclosures of directors, officers and holders of more than a certain percentage of equity of the applicant. While certain states include exceptions for investments in publicly traded entities, not all states do so, and some such exceptions are confined to companies traded on a U.S. securities exchange. If these regulations were to extend to us, investors would be required to comply with such regulations, or face the possibility that the relevant cannabis license could be revoked or cancelled by the state licensing authority.
