Legal proceedings

 

In the ordinary course of business, we are at times subject to various legal proceedings and disputes, including the proceedings specifically discussed below. We assess our liabilities and contingencies in connection with outstanding legal proceedings utilizing the latest information available. Where it is probable that we will incur a loss and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, we record a liability in our consolidated financial statements. These legal reserves  may be increased or decreased to reflect any relevant developments on a quarterly basis. Where a loss is not probable or the amount of loss is not estimable, we do not accrue legal reserves. While the outcome of legal proceedings is inherently uncertain, based on information currently available and available insurance coverage, our management believes that it has established appropriate legal reserves. Any incremental liabilities arising from pending legal proceedings are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations, or consolidated cash flows. However, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters, if unfavorable,  may be material to our consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations, or consolidated cash flows.

 

There have been no material changes in the legal proceedings since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025 or subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, except with respect to the legal proceedings disclosed below:

 

MMIRF, LLC v. Tilray Brands, Inc., et al.

 

On December 31, 2025, MMIRF, LLC filed a complaint in the Superior Court of California, Los Angeles County, against Tilray Brands, Inc., Serruya Private Equity Inc., Superhero Acquisition Corp., Superhero Acquisition L.P., Irwin Simon, Michael Serruya, and Denise Faltischek, asserting claims for breach of fiduciary duty, aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty, and civil conspiracy against all defendants. The plaintiff allegedly is an assignee of claims previously possessed by MM CAN USA, Inc., a former subsidiary of MedMen Enterprises, Inc. (“MedMen”). The complaint alleges that, following a series of transactions in August 2021 pursuant to which Tilray (and other investors) acquired an interest in senior secured convertible notes of MedMen through its investment in Superhero Acquisition L.P. as a limited partner (as previously disclosed in a current report filed on Form 8-K on August 17, 2021), Tilray and the other defendants gained “de facto” control over, and thereby became fiduciaries of, MedMen. The complaint further alleges that the defendants breached those purported fiduciary duties in taking certain actions that detrimentally impacted MedMen’s business, which ultimately entered bankruptcy and receivership proceedings in April 2024. The plaintiff seeks damages in excess of $1.0 billion. The defendants’ deadline to move, answer, or otherwise respond to the complaint is currently March 30, 2026. Tilray intends to vigorously defend against the claims asserted in the complaint. Based on the information available as of the date of this Quarterly Report, management does not believe that a loss is probable or reasonably estimable, and accordingly no accrual has been recorded.

 

Summary of litigation accruals 

 

As described in Note 10 (Accounts payable and accrued liabilities), the total estimated litigation expense accrual included in accrued liabilities as of  February 28, 2026 and May 31, 2025 was $11,931 and $12,431, respectively. During the intervening period, the accrual decreased by $410 from settled claims and decreased $90 due to a net change in the estimated likelihood of certain claim’s settlement, with the remaining change attributable to foreign exchange effects. This estimated accrual is intended to cover various ongoing litigation matters with probable losses that can be reasonably estimated.
