Glass House Brands Opens New Equity Window With $100M ATM Program

LONG BEACHㆍTORONTO – Glass House Brands filed a new short form base shelf prospectus with securities regulators across all Canadian provinces and territories, replacing an earlier version that was due to expire on June 17. Alongside that filing, the company launched an updated at-the-market (ATM) distribution program, allowing GHB to sell up to $100 million in equity shares on an opportunistic basis via CBOE Canada.

The new ATM program replaces a prior equity distribution agreement, under which no equity sales occurred. The company has retained ATB Cormark Capital Markets as its distribution agent, with sale timing and volume left entirely to management’s discretion.

Glass House was deliberate in framing the program’s purpose. The company stated it views the ATM as a long-term source of potential capital to be accessed on an opportunistic basis, rather than to service an immediate need. Proceeds, if and when drawn, are earmarked for cultivation expansion, potential future acquisitions, and general corporate purposes.

The filing comes at a point when Glass House has been investing heavily in physical capacity. Earlier this year, the company accelerated expansion efforts with plans to commence production in two additional greenhouses and plant its first production intended for sale in markets outside of California. That push has been backed by an explicit bet on federal Cannabis reform. The company has publicly flagged that Schedule III reclassification under the current administration could open Cannabis export opportunities to Europe and other international markets in the near term, where wholesale biomass prices are expected to be meaningfully higher than those achievable in California.

The company’s 2025 results were impacted by federal raids and staffing shortages, leading to lower revenue and margins, but operational recovery and expanded cultivation have set the stage for what the company projects will be strong growth in 2026. Management’s guidance calls for a significant rebound in revenue, margins, and EBITDA as hemp and international export opportunities continue to develop.

Structurally, an ATM program gives a publicly traded company the flexibility to raise capital in small increments tied to prevailing market prices, avoiding the dilution shock that typically accompanies bought deals or overnight offerings. For Cannabis operators still largely locked out of U.S. exchange listings and conventional debt markets, it is one of the more practical financing instruments available under Canadian securities rules. Glass House’s filing was made under National Instrument 44-102 (Shelf Distributions), with sales to be conducted on recognized Canadian marketplaces in compliance with applicable regulations. The company has confirmed that equity shares will not be offered or sold within the United States except under applicable exemptions from registration.

The refresh of Glass House’s ATM program at a doubled ceiling [from the $50 million program filed in May to US$100 million now] speaks volumes. The company is not raising capital under duress. It is positioning itself to move fast when opportunities arise, whether that means accelerating greenhouse builds or closing an acquisition. With 2025’s operational disruptions behind it and new cultivation capacity coming online, Glass House is building the financial infrastructure to match its production ambitions. For investors, the critical variable remains execution: how quickly the company can translate expanded canopy into revenue, and whether federal reform delivers the export premiums management has been counting on.
