"We are enhancing our proposal despite Aurora's refusal to engage and provide access to customary due diligence," Curaleaf Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Boris Jordan said. "We view this as a significant good-faith step that demonstrates our conviction in the merits of a combination and the value creation opportunity it represents," Jordan added. A combination of Curaleaf and Aurora would create a global cannabis leader with a pro forma market capitalization of over $3 billion, according to Curaleaf.
