MedMen Enterprises on Dec. 24 announced the cancellation of the remaining 815,295 class A super-voting shares held by co-founder Andrew Modlin effective Dec. 10, 2020. Shares closed 1% higher at the close on Thursday.
Simultaneously, the proxy granted by Modlin to MedMen Enterprises (MMNFF) co-founder and former CEO Benjamin Rose towards the voting of such shares also expired.
All the above came into effect under a purchase agreement on Jan. 30, 2020, when Rose decided to depart as the CEO and chairman effective Feb. 1, 2020.

On Dec. 12, Canaccord Genuity analyst Matt Bottomley reiterated a Sell rating on the stock, noting that MedMen’s road to profitability is still uncertain given its more than $500 million of lease liabilities, notes payable and convertible debt.
“The company continues to operate with a cash balance that is still razor thin compared to its potential capital needs with the prospect of future material dilution still a very real risk for the company,” Bottomley wrote in a note to investors. “We believe MMEN’s need for near-term financing points to continued material dilution given its current share price.”
From the rest of the Street, the stock scores an analyst consensus of a Moderate Sell based on 1 Hold and 1 Sell. With shares down 76% year-to-date, the average analyst price target of $0.12 implies downside potential of 8.5% to current levels.
