WAKEFIELD, Mass. – CapStone Holdings, a business incubator and investment group, today announced a $50 million stake in Curaleaf, a leading U.S. provider of cannabis-based medical and adult-use products.
CapStone is one of the largest investors in Curaleaf’s recent $300 million senior loan facility. Headquartered in Wakefield, Massachusetts, Curaleaf has a presence and dispensaries in 17 U.S. states and produces a range of pharmaceutical-grade, standardized dose medical cannabis to improve health and well-being. Curaleaf Holdings, Inc. is traded on the Canadian Stock Exchange (CSE: CURA) and over-the-counter in the U.S. (OTCQX: CURLF).
Curaleaf was a logical choice for CapStone because one of the company’s primary focuses is improving the quality of people’s lives, said Heather Stone of CapStone Holdings, Inc. A growing number of states are permitting physicians to prescribe cannabis-based medicines to address a range of health issues, including pain management, cancer, glaucoma, and seizures.
“Curaleaf has quickly become a leader in a $16 billion industry through thoughtful acquisitions, licensing, product development and expansion of retail dispensaries into new markets across the country,” said CapStone Holdings Chairman & Founder Keith J. Stone. “Curaleaf is well-positioned for continued growth and expansion across the U.S.”
