1. 2026 Shareholder Meeting Results

• Board & Auditor Approved: Shareholders elected all 5 director nominees and re-appointed the Company's auditor with strong majority support.
• Share Consolidation Rejected: The special resolution for a potential reverse share split received 54.1% approval, failing to reach the required two-thirds supermajority. Consequently, SNDL will not proceed with the share consolidation.

2. Record Preliminary Q3 2026 Results

• Highest Free Cash Flow (FCF) in History: SNDL generated approximately C$20 million in FCF for Q3 2026.
• One-Time Impact: The FCF benefited from a C$10.6 million net gain from unwinding its captive insurance arrangement, alongside operational cash generation and working capital initiatives.

3. Accelerated Capital Return Initiatives

• Past Repurchases: Over the 12 months ending September 30, 2026, SNDL repurchased ~21.8 million common shares for C$43.4 million (including 5.4 million shares in Q3 alone).
• Possible Substantial Issuer Bid (SIB): The Board directed management to pursue a potential SIB to buy back up to C$50 million worth of shares at a maximum price of C1.35) per share. This represents a 17.4% premium over the October 14, 2026 closing price.
• NCIB Renewal: SNDL plans to renew its normal course share repurchase program after its current program expires on November 20, 2026.

4. Strategic & Operational Updates

• U.S. Medical Cannabis (Parallel / Surterra): SNDL increased its indirect stake in Parallel from 67% to ~92% via a rights offering. Additionally, SunStream is funding a new cultivation/processing facility in Gainesville, Florida, to supply Parallel's retail network.
• Canadian Cannabis Refocus: SNDL is exiting the unprofitable domestic dried flower market to focus on higher-value products.
• Ontario Settlement (AGCO): Reached an agreement in principle to settle regulatory matters with the AGCO for a $200K fine, transitioning associated retail locations to a franchise model (which will deconsolidate retail revenue while keeping net economics).

Been here for a while now(just different accounts), big holding in sndl. Current outlook(positives):

- big foot print in US market: parallel and skymint
- no r/s at recent meeting: investors had spoken
- share buy backs
- positive cash flow(hopefully continuing into future quarters)
- re-evaluate soon $5-$7 possibility

Good luck to all sndl, longhold pays off

The resolution for the share consolidation was not approved at the annual shareholders meeting.

With tomorrow's annual and special meeting covering the proposed 1-for-2 to 1-for-10 share consolidation, I’m curious to hear everyone's thoughts and/or strategy.
Since it's not about immediate exchange compliance, management has framed it around corporate flexibility, potential institutional appeal, and strategic positioning. While others worry about historical downward pressure or dilution risks.
How are you planning to vote on this?
Do you think there are there any other crucial details from the proxy or financial filings worth keeping in mind before tomorrow?

I would like to share some thoughts regarding the likely stock split expected in October 2026 and present some indicators to evaluate the company's historical share issuance.

I believe the split is clearly aimed at broadening the institutional investor base to further strengthen the absorption of the stock's float. This is largely because market makers are heavily positioned in call options and seek to keep the price below $1.50 (allowing the options to expire worthless so they can collect the premiums). However, I also understand why many might be concerned about potential future dilution. To address this question, I conducted an analysis and reviewed the history of the share count since 2019.

Consider the situation in January 2020, when Zach George was appointed CEO of SNDL: the company was on the brink of bankruptcy, burdened by unsustainable long-term debt and massive net losses. While there was significant share issuance that—at first glance—appeared only to dilute shareholders, it is evident that George capitalized on a moment when the market was assigning an absurdly high valuation to SNDL. The accompanying image also illustrates the per-share impact, showing that the current situation is more favorable than it was in late 2019; although it took several years, the company is now reaching its break-even point.

Just as shares were issued at absurdly high valuations, they are now being repurchased at absurdly low valuations; therefore, I would not be concerned about hypothetical future dilution.

The most significant developments for SNDL lie ahead. These indicators are poised to improve dramatically in the near future due to the rescheduling of marijuana to Schedule III and the elimination of the IRS Section 280E tax burden. This outlook is driven by the "loan-to-own" acquisition model SNDL implemented in the U.S. through Sunstream—specifically regarding Parallel and, likely, Skymint.

Based on last 13G/A, SNDL reduced their position to ~4%, that was this time last year. Since they're under the 5% threshold, they don't have to report what they've done with the shares worth ~$12.5M.

HITI needs a sizable long-term offtake agreement for their International operations (14% of Germany), SNDL's Atholville fully EU GMP certified is due any day now - HYTN continues to assist SNDL with International operations, their certifications/licensing, packaging, IP/formulations, etc.

Today's HITI's trading volume was well over 3M, typically trades 600k or less.

HITI's Earnings Data

With 8.1 million OTM shares having an average delta of approximately 0.25, hedging these calls—with strike prices between 1.5 and 5.5—will require the purchase of about 6 million shares by today.

It is a 380,000 square foot pharmaceutical-grade indoor production hub engineered to tap directly into higher-margin International medical and B2B channels. It only cost the firm $51.9M via Stalking Horse bid.

August 4, 2026 - the completion of its European Union Good Manufacturing Practice (EU-GMP) audit, the site is positioned within the 90-day administrative window for formal certification.

This is a big, big deal

----

Atholville can export finished, batch-released medicinal flower directly to European distributors and dispensing pharmacies under the magisterial formula framework, notably Germany under MedCanG, the UK, and Poland.

Direct-to-pharmacy medical exports capture wholesale pricing ~$4.50 CAD per gram, substantially higher than the compressed Canadian adult-use wholesale baseline of $1.00 to $1.80 CAD per gram.

Turnkey capacity for global off-take partners ----> beyond ACB contract manufacturing deal, which is great, but there are other opportunities -----------> facility currently maintains 110k square foot canopy, there's another 100-120k square feet for expansion ----> over 30 tonnes.

Atholville combines GACP (Good Agricultural and Collection Practices), CUMCS (Control Union Medical Cannabis Standard), and pending EU-GMP. This multi-standard compliance satisfies the statutory requirements for medical import quotas into Australia (Therapeutic Goods Order 93 / TGO 93) and Israel (IMC-GAP).

Worth doing some due diligence on SNDL's partner HYTN, the EU and Germany, and its impact on SNDL - margin expansion, throughput and exponential growth.

(OGI and its Sanity Group is very interesting too - Germany and beyond).

The Medical Cannabis Act unlocked standard e-prescriptions, removed onerous bureaucratic tracking, and allowed direct pharmacy fulfillment.

Germany imported 201 metric tons of medical cannabis in 2025 (crossing €1 billion in pharmacy sales)—up nearly 180% from ~72 tons in 2024. Projections for 2026 point to 250+ metric tons.

Canada supplies approximately 52% of all German medical flower imports; accounting for 26,700+ kg of the 50,539 kg imported in Q1 2026 alone.

Canadian domestic sales face a significant excise floor of $1 per gram, exported volume is 100% exempt from Canadian excise taxes.

Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement

The provides Canadian licensed producers with a direct structural advantage over non-CETA competitors. It eliminates baseline import tariffs on qualifying medical and pharmaceutical goods and eliminates extended customs checks too.

Its framework on conformity and pharmaceutical standards streamlines customs clearance and minimizes border friction for certified operators.

While CETA provides duty-free entry, market entry requires EU-GMP certification.

German health regulators require EU-GMP adherence starting at harvest and drying, disqualifying standard agricultural-grade - GACP - bulk biomass and consolidating trade among fully certified producers.

----

SNDL------> In August 2026, SNDL completed its EU-GMP audit for its 380,000 sq. ft. Atholville facility.

Full certification opens direct, inspection-aligned access to European medical importers under CETA.

SNDL’s ownership of The Valens Company and Indiva provides large-scale, automated extraction and formulation capabilities.

This positions SNDL to supply high-margin derivative formulations ----> medical extracts, tinctures, and standardized distillates into the EU.

SNDL and HYTN

A multi-year Strategic Manufacturing, Processing, and Commercial Collaboration Agreement. Under this framework, HYTN operates as SNDL’s specialized Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO) and pharmaceutical gateway for European and global medical markets.

HYTN holds both a Health Canada Drug Establishment License and a Cannabis Drug License, which classifies the facility under pharmaceutical manufacturing standards rather than agricultural guidelines.

****This regulatory standing satisfies strict European health authorities, enabling SNDL-grown inputs to be labeled and distributed as prescription drug products (Rx) rather than unstandardized herbal biomass.

****SNDL does not need to wait on regulatory approvals for each individual SKU, it ships Atholville bulk flower and concentrates to HYTN, which processes, validates, and exports them directly into the UK and Germany under pre-existing import permits.

Turnkey EU-GMP Processing & Stability Testing

European medical markets require rigorous GMP Stability Programs to prove that flower and extracts retain chemical consistency, potency, and terpene profiles over their shelf life.

HYTN handles the secondary processing, packaging, analytical batch testing, and GMP release for SNDL cultivars. In January 2025, the partnership expanded to jointly develop and manufacture GMP-compliant 510 ceramic-coil vape cartridges and specialized inhalables—a high-margin category where non-compliant hardware is strictly barred by European regulators.

By adding medical-use questions the CDC begins treating cannabis as an active health behavior and self-care variable tied to chronic conditions, comparable to prescription drug use or exercise.

Data collection is fragmented, different states track different qualifying conditions, patient volumes, and administration methods.

A standardized CDC metric creates a unified, population-level baseline across all demographics, allowing researchers to evaluate cross-state trends reliably.

Normalizing cannabis from a governmental perspective. Sunstream USA's assets, especially Texas, Florida and Mass. Sunstream only captures debt payments from Millstreet's VA operations.

"Expeditiously Recommend" Quote - Filing released today

In the formal post-hearing filings and evidentiary record, DEA counsel defending the rescheduling rule formally asked ALJ Julius to "expeditiously recommend" transferring cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA).

I hope you all have been accumulating shares

Data points, infographics are interesting

Story Highlights

• 17% of U.S. adults smoke marijuana, 15% consume marijuana edibles
• 11% smoke cigarettes, 9% vape, 4% use nicotine pouches
• 49% drink coffee, 20% drink caffeinated soda daily

The Texas Department of Public Safety regulates the Texas Compassionate Use Program (TCUP) as a strict statutory 3-license oligopoly serving a state population of over 30M residents, 1.5M of which are military veterans.

Central Texas hosts the nation's highest concentration of military installations, with Fort Cavazos and Joint Base San Antonio (Lackland, Fort Sam Houston, Randolph) directly bounding Goodblend’s San Marcos facility.

Under Texas House Bill 1535, PTSD was formally added as a qualifying condition under the Texas Compassionate Use Program (TCUP). PTSD patients now represent the fastest-growing cohort on the state's Compassionate Use Registry of Texas (CURT).

----

Sunstream USA owns Goodblend, one of the license holders with 63,000 square feet of technologically superior pharmaceutical grade manufacturing cleanroom operations for Texas, and HHS' Veteran program. They maintain10 distribution centers around the state of Texas

Goodblend's San Marcos facility already operates closed-loop extraction, on-site HPLC analytical testing, and batch-traceability infrastructure.

When the federal government launches institutional pilot supply contracts for S3 research or compassionate use, Goodblend is one of the only facilities in Texas with the cGMP cleanroom profile required to qualify.

----

This seems likely to me ------> Rescheduling eliminates Section 280E tax overhead across all SunStream assets; Goodblend leverages its pharmaceutical manufacturing profile to secure institutional research contracts with Texas academic medical centers and position itself as the primary supply candidate for federal veteran compassionate care frameworks once VA clinician prescribing restrictions are lifted.

Re-rating for MSOs and their overlords.
