• Voluntary U.S. Domestic Issuer Transition

  Curaleaf voluntarily ends its foreign private issuer status and will now comply with full U.S. domestic issuer reporting requirements, including proxy rules and Section 16 insider reporting.

• First 10-K and 10-Q Filings

  The company files its first annual report on Form 10-K for FY2025 and quarterly report on Form 10-Q for Q1 2026 as exhibits to this 8-K, and concurrently files a separate Form 10-Q for Q2 2026.

• Increased Compliance Costs and Regulatory Exposure

  The transition subjects Curaleaf to higher compliance costs, more frequent reporting, and potential Section 16 insider trading liability, while also signaling preparation for a potential U.S. listing or redomicile.

• Strategic Alignment with U.S. Capital Markets

  The move aligns with Curaleaf's broader strategy to deepen its U.S. investor base and potentially uplist to a major U.S. exchange, following its recent reverse stock split and refinancing.
