Aurora
Apparently a cash cushion of $200 million isn’t enough for Aurora Cannabis Inc. (NYSE: ACB) as the company files a new offering sending the share price even lower. The company confirmed that it has $250 million in cash as of March 31, 2020.
On Monday, Aurora said that it intends to file a new prospectus supplement for a renewed ATM (At-The-Market) program, to enable Aurora to raise additional equity capital under which approximately $350 million remains available. The company said it plans to use a portion of this available capacity to provide further balance sheet strength and preserve flexibility given macroeconomic uncertainty caused by COVID-19.
