On March 24, 2026, the Registrant and its debtor affiliate, the Cannabist Company Holdings (Canada) Inc. (together, the “Debtors”), commenced a proceeding under the jurisdiction
of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) pursuant to the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (the “CCAA”) (the “Canadian Proceeding”). On March 25, 2026, the Debtors filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 15 of title 11
of the United States Code (such cases, the “Chapter 15 Cases”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. In connection with the Canadian Proceeding and the filing of the Chapter 15 Cases, the Registrant is terminating all
offerings of its securities pursuant to the existing registration statements under the Securities Act of 1933, including the Registration Statements.
Pursuant to the undertaking made by the Registrant in the Registration Statement to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities that had
been registered for issuance that remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Registrant is filing these Post-Effective Amendments to terminate the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and to deregister, as of the effectiveness of
these Post-Effective Amendments, any and all common shares of the Registrant registered thereunder that remain unsold as of the effective date. As a result of this deregistration and upon the effectiveness of these Post-Effective Amendments, no
securities will remain registered pursuant to the Registration Statements.
