Item 2.02Results of Operations and Financial Conditions

 

On November 30, 2020, Acreage Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) filed interim financial statements for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020 with the securities regulators in each Canadian jurisdiction in which is it is a reporting issuer on its SEDAR profile (the “Interim Financial Statements”) and related Management’s Discussion and Analysis relating thereto (the “MD&A”). The Interim Financial Statements were not reviewed by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Copies of the Interim Financial Statements and MD&A are attached as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference. 

 

The Company’s Interim Financial Statements are preliminary for purposes of the Company’s reporting obligations with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) because, as previously announced, the Company delayed the filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 (the “Quarterly Report”) because the Company required additional time to assess the accounting and disclosure related to an investment and related transactions to be contained in the Quarterly Report. The Company intends to file the Quarterly Report with the SEC as promptly as reasonably practicable. 

 

The Interim Financial Statements have been prepared internally by management and are still the subject of review by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.  There can be no assurance that the Company’s actual financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 will not differ from the financial information presented herein and such changes could be material.

 

The information contained in this Item 2.02, including Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section.  The information in this Item 2.02 and Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. 

 

Item 8.01 Other Events

 

The filing of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 will be delayed pending completion of the Company’s ongoing review of the accounting and disclosure related to an investment and a series of related transactions to be contained in the Quarterly Report.  As a result, the Company has not filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September within the 5-day extension period provided by Rule 12b-25(b). The Company is working diligently and intends to file the Quarterly Report as promptly as reasonably practicable.
