Discontinued operations

On February 22, 2019, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Sundial UK Limited, signed a Sale and Purchase Agreement to acquire all the issued and outstanding shares of Project Seed Topco (“Bridge Farm”). The acquisition closed on July 2, 2019 (note 6). Bridge Farm was acquired to expand the Company’s business to cannabidiol (“CBD”) extraction and production, subject to certain regulatory, licensing and other restrictions, to launch CBD sales in the United Kingdom. At December 31, 2019, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment based on significant delays and uncertainties in the licensing and regulatory framework in the United Kingdom. As part of the negotiations with the Company’s senior lenders regarding a December 31, 2019 covenant breach and restructuring of its credit agreements, the Company was required to enter into a definitive sale and purchase agreement related to the sale of Bridge Farm.

On May 15, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement to sell all of the outstanding shares of Bridge Farm to a company affiliated with the former management sellers that were parties to the original acquisition (the “Bridge Farm Purchaser”) in exchange for (i) the assumption by the Bridge Farm Purchaser of $45 million of the total $115 million principal amount outstanding under the Term Debt Facility (thereby reducing the Company’s obligations thereunder to $70 million), (ii) the assumption by the Bridge Farm Purchaser of contingent consideration liabilities related to the additional share obligation and remaining earn out obligation under the original Bridge Farm acquisition agreement dated July 2, 2019 (note 19), and (iii) the cancellation of approximately 2.7 million Sundial common shares (fair value of $3.0 million), representing all of the shares then held by the management sellers of Bridge Farm issued in connection with the original acquisition of Bridge Farm by the Company in 2019 (collectively, the “Bridge Farm Disposition”). The sale of Bridge Farm closed on June 5, 2020.

The Bridge Farm operations comprised the Company’s entire Ornamental Flower segment located in the United Kingdom. The Ornamental Flower segment was not previously classified as held-for-sale or as a discontinued operation as it was not highly probable that the carrying amount of the disposal group would be recovered through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. The comparative statement of loss and comprehensive loss and statement of cash flows has been re-presented to show the discontinued operation separately from continuing operations. With the disposition of the Ornamental Flower segment, the Company no longer has multiple segments. Accordingly, the Cannabis operations in Canada comprise the entire operations of the Company.
