“In light of recent news and movement within the U.S. cannabis space, today’s listing on Cboe Canada, which is part of a global network of exchanges across 26 marketplaces, is an intentional and strategic decision,” said George Archos, Verano Founder and Chief Executive Officer. “We believe that this move positions Verano for continued growth and expansion as we evolve in tandem with the rapidly changing industry. We see this as a winning combination for Verano and our shareholders.”
“This uplisting reflects the bold strategic plan at the heart of Verano’s operations.

We are honoured to share this milestone achievement with Verano and look forward to supporting them in the years to come.”
