10. SHARE CAPITAL

Common shares, which include the Company’s Subordinate Voting Shares, Multiple Voting Shares and Super Voting Shares, are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of common shares are recognized as a deduction from equity. The proceeds from the exercise of stock options or warrants together with amounts previously recorded in reserves over the applicable vesting periods are recorded as share capital. Income tax relating to transaction costs of an equity transaction is accounted for in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes.

(i) Subordinate Voting Shares

The holders of the Subordinate Voting Shares are entitled to receive dividends which may be declared from time to time and are entitled to one vote per share at meetings of the Company’s shareholders. All Subordinate Voting Shares are ranked equally with regard to the Company’s residual assets. The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of no par value Subordinate Voting Shares.

(ii) Multiple Voting Shares

10. SHARE CAPITAL (Continued)

(i) Repurchase of Subordinate Voting Shares

On September 23, 2025, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program that commenced immediately following the expiration of the Company's previous share repurchase program. The new program authorizes the Company to repurchase its Subordinate Voting Shares over a 12-month period at an aggregate cost of up to $50,000 thousand. On April 21, 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized an expansion of the share repurchase program such that the Company may purchase Subordinate Voting Shares at an aggregate cost of up to $150,000 thousand.

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company repurchased approximately 13,438,787 Subordinate Voting Shares for approximately $77,659 thousand, at an average price of $5.78 per share.

Separately, on May 12, 2026, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreements with Benjamin Kovler, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Anthony Georgiadis, the President and a Director, to purchase 2,500 Super Voting Shares from each in private transactions. The price per Super Voting Share was determined based on the closing price of $7.80 per underlying Subordinate Voting Shares as traded on the OTCQX Best Market on the date of the transaction.

(c) Stock-Based Compensation

The Company operates equity settled stock-based remuneration plans for its eligible directors, officers, employees and consultants. All goods and services received in exchange for the grant of any stock-based payments are measured at their fair value unless the fair value cannot be estimated reliably. If the Company cannot estimate reliably the fair value of the goods and services received, the Company measures their value indirectly by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted. For transactions with employees and others providing similar services, the Company measures the fair value of the services by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted. Equity settled stock-based payments under stock-based payment plans are ultimately recognized as an expense in profit or loss with a corresponding credit to equity.

In June 2018, the Company established the Green Thumb Industries Inc. 2018 Stock and Incentive Plan, which was amended by Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2, Amendment No. 3 and Amendment No. 4 thereto (as amended, the “Plan”). The maximum number of RSUs and options outstanding under the Plan at any time shall not exceed 15% of the then issued and outstanding shares on an as-converted basis.

The Company recognizes compensation expense for RSUs and options on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. Non-market vesting conditions are included in the assumptions about the number of options that are expected to become exercisable. Estimates are subsequently revised if there is any indication that the number of options expected to vest differs from the previous estimate. Any cumulative adjustment prior to vesting is recognized in the current period with no adjustment to prior periods for expense previously recognized. Option and RSU awards generally vest over three years, and options typically have a life of seven to ten years. Option grants under the Plan are determined by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors with the option price set at no less than 100% of the fair market value of a share on the date of grant.
