  + stars: | 2023-07-31 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +1 min
July 31 (Reuters) - Cannabis producers Cresco Labs (CL.CD) and Columbia Care Inc (CCHW.NLB) have mutually terminated their $2 billion merger announced in March last year, the companies said on Monday. "In light of the evolving landscape in the cannabis industry, we believe the decision to terminate the planned transaction is in the long-term interest of Cresco Labs and our shareholders," Cresco CEO Charles Bachtell said in a statement. Cresco and Columbia last month said they would not be able to complete the divestitures necessary to secure regulatory approvals to close the transaction. Meanwhile, Columbia Care separately said it had closed its Downtown Los Angeles facility and completed a previously announced corporate restructuring plan, including a 52-person headcount reduction.
