('Aurora' or the 'Company') (NASDAQ: ACB) (TSX: ACB), the Canadian company opening the world to cannabis, today announced that it has received approval to transfer the listing of its common shares (the 'Shares') from the Nasdaq Global Select Market to the Nasdaq Capital Market (the 'Transfer').

2023年9月19日，埃德蒙顿，AB/PRNewswire/-Aurora大麻公司（'Aurora'或'公司'）（纳斯达克：ACB）（TSX:ACB），加拿大向大麻开放的公司，今天宣布它已获得批准，将其普通股（'股份'）从纳斯达克全球精选市场上市至纳斯达克资本市场（'转让'）。

The Transfer became effective at the opening of business on September 19, 2023, and is expected to allow the Company to seek an additional 180 days to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) (the 'Minimum Bid Price Requirement'). Additionally, Aurora announced today, that it has agreed to repurchase an aggregate of approximately $13.0 million (US$9.6 million) principal amount of its convertible senior notes ('Notes') at a total cost, including accrued interest, of $13.0 million (US$9.6 million) satisfied by the issuance of an aggregate of approximately 13.5 million Shares.

该转让于2023年9月19日开始营业，预计将允许公司再寻求180天重新遵守纳斯达克上市规则5450（a）（1）（'最低投标价格要求'）。此外，Aurora今天宣布，它已同意以包括应计利息在内的总成本（约1300万美元）（约合960万美元）可转换高级债券（'债券'）总额约为1300万美元（约合960万美元）满意于发行约1350万股股份。

Following completion of these repurchases, Aurora will have approximately $39.6 million (US$29.2 million) of Notes outstanding..

完成这些再采购后，Aurora将获得约3960万美元（2920万美元）的未完成笔记。。

As previously disclosed, Nasdaq advised Aurora on March 24, 2023, that the bid price of the Shares had closed at less than US$1.00 per share over the previous 30 consecutive business days, resulting in a deficiency with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and the Company was given a period of 180 calendar days, or until September 20, 2023, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.

如前所述，纳斯达克于2023年3月24日向Aurora通报，该股份的投标价格在过去连续30个工作日内以不到1.00美元/股的价格下跌，导致最低投标价格要求不足，公司的期限为180个日历日，或至2023年9月20日，重新遵守最低投标价格要求。

In connection with the Transfer, Aurora has applied for, and expects to receive, an additional 180 calendar day period in which to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. Approval for the additional 180 calendar day period is conditioned upon Aurora continuing to meet certain Nasdaq minimum listing standards and Aurora notifying Nasdaq of its intention to cure the deficiency..

与转让有关，Aurora已经申请并预计将获得额外的180个日历日期限，以重新遵守最低投标价格要求。额外180个日历日的批准以Aurora继续满足某些纳斯达克最低上市标准和Aurora通知纳斯达克其意图治愈缺陷为条件。。

The Shares continue to trade in the United States under the symbol 'ACB' and the trading of the Shares will not be affected by the Transfer. In addition, the Shares continue to be listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the 'TSX'), and the deficiency does not affect the Company's status with its TSX listing.

股份继续在美国以“ACB”符号进行交易，股份交易不受转让影响。此外，该股份继续在多伦多证券交易所（'TSX'）上市，并且该缺陷不会影响该公司在TSX上市时的地位。

Aurora will continue actively monitoring the bid price for its Shares and is considering a range of options in order to cure the deficiency..

极光将继续积极监控其股票的投标价格，并正在考虑一系列选择以弥补不足之处。。

The purpose of the Notes repurchase transaction is to further reduce the Company's debt and annual cash interest costs, reinforcing Aurora's commitment to achieving the target of positive free cashflow in calendar year 2024. Aurora has repurchased an aggregate of approximately $428 million (US$316 million) principal amount of Notes since December 2021, resulting in total cash interest savings of approximately $32 million (US$24.1 million)..

This announcement does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy any security and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation, or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offering would be unlawful.

本公告不构成出售或征求购买任何担保的报价，也不构成在此类报价非法的任何管辖区内的报价，征集或销售。
