A reverse takeover (the “RTO”) is a type of transaction that private companies engage in to become publicly traded without the need to comply with all conditions for an initial public offering. Instead, the private company contracts with an existing listed Canadian company (a “Pubco”), in this case, Randsburg International Gold Corp. (“Randsburg”), to acquire the outstanding private company securities, in this case, the Cresco membership units (the “Cresco Labs Units”), in exchange for PubCo shares having enough value to give control of the PubCo to the private company’s security holders. At this point, the private company shareholders assume control of the Pubco and the business of the private company becomes that of the Pubco. Shares of the Pubco can thereafter be publicly traded.
