Ascend Wellness Holdings has completed the repurchase of 11 million common shares for cancellation and received consent from its term loan holders to repurchase up to $5 million of its common shares. Meanwhile, co-founders of WM Technology, Douglas Francis and Justin Hartfield, have submitted a non-binding proposal to acquire the company for $1.70 per share in cash.

Mr. Francis prob needs to step-up the offer. $MAPS appointed him CEO on Nov 7, 2024, granting ~8.7M shares. ~4.3M are PSUs which require hitting $3.25 (50%) and $5.00 (50%) w/n 3-years to fully vest. The kicker? It can all vest in a takeout, regardless of deal price 😂 https://t.co/3xqT4WJi3o https://t.co/XjHtPC6aK1
