CHICAGO and VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 23, 2026 — Green Thumb Industries Inc. (“Green Thumb” or the “Company”) (CSE: GTII) (OTCQX: GTBIF), a leading national cannabis consumer packaged goods company and owner of RISE Dispensaries, today announced that its board of directors authorized an additional $100 million for its existing share repurchase program announced on September 16, 2025.
The repurchase program now authorizes the repurchase of its subordinate voting shares (“shares”) having an aggregate value of up to $150 million. Since the program began on September 23, 2025, the Company has repurchased approximately 7.5 million shares for approximately $43.4 million. Of that total, the Company repurchased approximately 6.0 million shares for approximately $33.0 million in the first quarter of 2026.
“We have built a strong business, and we do not believe our current share price fully reflects that value. We have demonstrated our conviction in Green Thumb through meaningful share repurchases, and this added capacity gives us greater flexibility to continue deploying capital opportunistically,” said Green Thumb Founder, Chairman and CEO Ben Kovler. “We remain focused on building for the long term and creating value for our shareholders.”
The existing repurchase program will expire on September 22, 2026. Green Thumb is not obligated to purchase any shares under the program and may suspend or terminate purchases at any time if management determines there are more appropriate uses of capital. Purchases may be made on the Canadian Securities Exchange, the OTCQX Best Market or alternative trading systems, subject to applicable law.
The Company does not expect to incur debt to fund the share repurchase program. The actual number of shares purchased, the timing of any purchases and the purchase price will depend upon market conditions at the time and securities law requirements. All shares acquired will be returned to the treasury and canceled.
