Bevo In August 2022, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company acquired a 50.1% (49.9% non-controlling interest) controlling interest in Bevo Agtech Inc, the sole parent of Bevo Farms Ltd., (“Bevo”) one of the largest suppliers of propagated vegetables and ornamental plants in North America. Bevo principal operations are located in British Columbia, Canada. The Company has a 50.1% controlling stake in the subsidiary (49.9% non-controlling interest). In August 2022, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its Aurora Sky facility in Edmonton, Alberta and related assets and liabilities to Bevo (the “Aurora Sky Transaction”). Up to $25.0 million could be payable over time by Bevo to the Company in connection with the Aurora Sky Transaction, based on Bevo successfully achieving certain financial milestones at the Aurora Sky Facility. The Aurora Sky Transaction closed on September 30, 2022. The Company recognized the inter-company transfer of net assets to Bevo at cost and recorded an increase in non-controlling interest equal to the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the carrying value of the net assets transferred of $12.2 million with a corresponding decrease to deficit on the consolidated statements of financial position. In July 2023, the Company sold its interest in Aurora Sun facility located in Medicine Hat, Alberta, to Bevo by way of share sale. The Share Purchase Sale agreement requires Bevo to invest a specified amount in capital expenditures for expansion. The Company will receive royalties up to $16.0 million, upon Bevo achieving certain financial thresholds.
