5. Cresco Labs acquires Origin House: $823 million
Last, but certainly not least, earlier this week we received word that vertically integrated multistate operator Cresco Labs (NASDAQOTH:CRLBF) would be purchasing Origin House (NASDAQOTH:ORHOF) for CA$1.1 billion, or about $823 million. As with pretty much all deals of this magnitude, Origin House shareholders are set to receive shares of Cresco Labs, meaning the final value of this transaction could change significantly, depending on how Cresco Labs' stock performs in the weeks and months ahead.
Although Cresco Labs is primarily focused on selling, growing, and processing cannabis in the U.S., the acquisition of Origin House will give it something unique: distribution power. Origin House has been busy acquiring marijuana distributors in California in an effort to secure its place as a vital industry middleman. Only a handful of distribution licenses will be handed out in the Golden State, which makes distribution an especially lucrative niche in the largest legal market in the world.
