Insights

Corporate credit analyst

Trulieve adds $140M long-dated secured debt with tight covenants.

Trulieve Cannabis Corp. issued $140,000,000 of 10.5% senior secured notes due December 17, 2030. The fixed coupon of 10.5%, paid semi-annually from June 17, 2026, locks in a meaningful interest cost but also provides stable, long-term funding through 2030.

The notes are direct senior secured obligations, ranking ahead of existing and future unsecured debt, and are secured by a pledge of Trulieve, Inc. shares. Obligations are guaranteed on a joint and several basis by restricted subsidiaries, with Trulieve, Inc. designated as a restricted subsidiary as of December 17, 2025. This structure enhances protection for noteholders while concentrating credit support in the main U.S. operating entity.

The indenture imposes covenants limiting dividends, restricted payments, additional indebtedness, asset sales, liens and affiliate transactions, alongside a change-of-control put at 101% of principal plus accrued interest. Trulieve can redeem the notes before maturity at defined premiums, including up to 35% from equity proceeds at 108% before the two-year anniversary and a step-down call schedule starting December 17, 2027. Net proceeds are earmarked for capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes, so future disclosures will show how this new leverage affects operating performance and cash flows.
