AYR Wellness Extends Limited Waiver Agreement with Senior Noteholders

MIAMI, June 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — AYR Wellness Inc. (CSE: AYR.A, OTCQX: AYRWF) (“AYR” or the “Company”), a leading vertically integrated U.S. multi-state cannabis operator, announces that it has entered into an amendment (the “Extended Agreement”) to the previously disclosed Limited Waiver Agreement dated June 6, 2025 (the “Original Agreement”). The Extended Agreement formally extends the temporary waiver period set forth in the Original Agreement from June 19, 2025, to July 3, 2025.‎

Under the Original Agreement, the holders of a majority of AYR’s senior secured notes (the “Majority Holders”) provided a waiver of certain events of default related to the Company’s delay in filing its interim financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, as well as specific payment defaults that may occur under AYR’s other outstanding indebtedness. This waiver temporarily restrains the Majority Holders from exercising their default-related rights and remedies with respect to those specified defaults, subject to the terms and conditions in the Original Agreement. By extending the waiver period, the Extended Agreement grants the Company additional time and flexibility to continue ongoing negotiations with its senior lenders and to further pursue strategic options to strengthen its capital structure.

The extension provided in the Extended Agreement does not constitute a permanent waiver of any existing defaults or any rights under the governing documents; rather, it allows for continued dialogue and exploration of potential strategies to address the Company’s financial obligations.
