Former Grassroots Entities
Grassroots: Illinois Assets
Through the acquisition of Grassroots, the Company retained a transferable right to acquire the Illinois assets from former Grassroots affiliates companies that currently own three licensed Illinois medical dispensaries and nine adult use dispensaries (collectively, the “Illinois Assets”). The right to acquire the Illinois Assets may be exercised through the conversion of certain debt, which the Company treats as intercompany debt; should the Company exercise the right to acquire the Illinois Assets, there would be no impact to its statement of operations. Pursuant to the Grassroots Merger Agreement, the proceeds net of expenses and taxes from the sale of Curaleaf’s rights to the Illinois Assets shall be shared by the Company with the former owners of Grassroots as follows: (i) the first $25 million of net proceeds shall be retained by the Company; (ii) the next $25 million of net proceeds shall be remitted to the former Grassroots owners; and (iii) the Company shall keep 50% of the net proceeds above $50 million and the other 50% shall be remitted to the Grassroots owners (the “Illinois Waterfall Payment”). Also pursuant to the Grassroots Merger Agreement, the former Grassroots owners have the right to demand that, in lieu of receipt of a portion of the Illinois Waterfall Payment, that Curaleaf pay to them either (a) $25 million in cash or (b) a number of SVS that have market value equal to $30 million (the “Illinois Exit Payment”). The former owners of Grassroots gave notice of their intention to exercise their option for the Illinois Exit
Payment in the form of cash and SVS in the amount of $28.3 million on October 14, 2022, which the Company paid during the fourth quarter of 2022. As a result, the Company gained the sole right to proceeds from the sale of the Illinois Assets.
On April 1, 2021, Curaleaf and the owners of the Illinois Assets signed definitive agreements to sell the Illinois Assets to Parallel Illinois, LLC (“Parallel”), and the Company received a $10 million deposit from Parallel, which was refundable under limited circumstances. On February 25, 2022, the Company received correspondence from Parallel’s attorneys indicating Parallel was not in a position to complete the acquisition of the Illinois Assets due to lack of financing, among other reasons, and declaring the definitive agreements to purchase the Illinois Assets terminated. On February 2, 2022, the Company filed an arbitration against Parallel and certain principals of Parallel for breach of contract, fraudulent misrepresentation and other claims. As a result of the breach of contract, the Company determined that the $10 million deposit received from Parallel was no longer refundable and, accordingly, recognized a gain of $10 million within Other income, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations during the year ended December 31, 2022. In September 2023, the Company and Parallel entered into a Confidential Settlement Agreement to settle the dispute in full (the “Parallel Settlement Agreement”). Under this agreement, the Company is to receive $0.5 million upon the consummation and closing of a restructuring, foreclosure or sale transaction involving all or substantially all the assets of Parallel and its subsidiaries, subject to certain conditions. As part of this settlement, Parallel formally released its claims against the Plaintiffs, including with respect to any claim for return of the $10 million deposit. See Note 24 — Commitments and contingencies.
In the quarter ended June 2023, the Company terminated the marketing of the Illinois Assets and reclassified these assets from held for sale to held and used.
Grassroots: Oklahoma and Arkansas Assets
During the second quarter of 2022, the Company completed the sale of Grassroots Oklahoma, which resulted in a gain of approximately $1 million.

Pueblo West Organics
The Company completed its acquisition of PWO during the third quarter of 2022 (see Note 4 — Acquisitions for further detail) and immediately began actively marketing certain rights and interests for certain of the acquired real estate assets. The Company completed the sale of these real estate assets during the fourth quarter of 2022, which resulted in a gain of approximately $0.3 million.

During the first quarter of 2023, the Company reported the operations in California, Oregon and Colorado as discontinued operations. During the third quarter of 2023, the Company reported the operations in Michigan, Kentucky and Adult-Use Maine as discontinued operations. These planned closures represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. These discontinued operations are a component of the Company’s Domestic reportable segment.
The planned closure of these business components met the held for sale and discontinued operations criteria under ASC 205 as of December 31, 2023; therefore, the Company has separately classified the financial results of these business components as Net loss from discontinued operations on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
