CLAIM OF THE PETITIONER

PART 1

ORDER SOUGHT

1.TILT Holdings Inc., the “Petitioner”, seeks an “Initial Order” under the Companies Creditors Arrangement Act, R.S.C. 1985 c. C-36, as amended (the “CCAA”) substantially in the form attached as Schedule “B” to this Petition, among other things:

(a)

abridging the time for service and filing of this Petition;

(b)

declaring the Petitioner is a company to which the CCAA applies;

(c)

appointing PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc. (“PwC”) as an officer of this Court to monitor the assets, business, and financial affairs of the Petitioner (in such capacity, the “Monitor”); and

(d)

staying, for an initial period of not more than ten (10) days, all proceedings and remedies taken or that might be taken in respect of the Petitioner, the Monitor, or the directors and offices of the Petitioner, or affecting the, Petitioner’s Business or the Property (as are defined in the Initial Order), except with the written consent of the Petitioner and the Monitor, or with leave of the Court (the “Stay of Proceedings”).

2.Such further and other orders as this Court may deem just and convenient and as may be appropriate in the circumstances.

PART 2

FACTUAL BASIS

3.The facts in support of this Petition are set out in the Affidavit #1 of Tim Conder, made November 6, 2025 (the “Conder Affidavit”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Petition have the same meaning as ascribed to them in the Conder Affidavit.

4.

All references to currency in this affidavit are in United States dollars unless noted otherwise.

I.

Overview

5.The Petitioner is a publicly traded company in the cannabis industry, offering, through its various subsidiaries, a broad range of products and services, including inhalation technology hardware, cannabis cultivation and processing, and retail operations.

Conder Affidavit at para 5

6.The Petitioner is insolvent. The Petitioner’s only source of revenue is from its subsidiaries, who are highly levered with various secured debts. As a result, the Petitioner and its subsidiaries have been forced to enter into various alternative financing arrangements—such as establishing the trade payable credit line with Shenzhen Smoore Technology Limited (“Smoore”) described below, and entering forbearance agreements with a number of landlords—to address their financial challenges. The efforts to date have been insufficient and the Petitioner does not generate sufficient revenue to cover its monthly expenses.

Conder Affidavit at para 6

7.This restructuring is required to address these issues facing the Petitioner by restructuring its balance sheet and allowing it to cease being a publicly traded company. This is in the best interests of the Petitioner’s stakeholders.

Conder Affidavit at para 7

8.The Petitioner has developed a proposed plan of arrangement (the “Plan”) to ‘take the Petitioner private’. In short, the Petitioner’s secured noteholders will release the guarantee of the Petitioner under the secured notes in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Petitioner. As the guarantee currently guarantees nearly $85 million, this is a material release. The existing share capital and all equity interests in the Petitioner will be cancelled and replaced with equity in favour of the secured noteholders. All other debts of the Petitioner, both secured and unsecured, will be unaffected. The restructuring will eliminate the material costs of being a public company and allow the new equity holders to continue to monetize the Petitioner’s plant-touching assets, focus on the vaporization hardware business, and make further investment.

Conder Affidavit at para 58

V.Need for Creditor Protection

53.Given the Petitioner’s present financial and liquidity challenges, the Petitioner requires a stay of proceedings to provide them with the “breathing room” and stability needed to present the Plan to their creditors.

Conder Affidavit at para 59

54.In response to challenges in the cannabis industry, the Petitioner has made a number of recent divestments and is seeking to monetize or outsource most of its cultivation and retail assets.

Conder Affidavit at para 60

55.The Petitioner’s revenue in 2024 decreased approximately 30% from its 2023 revenue, showing continuing liquidity challenges. The headwinds in the cannabis sector—namely, price compression, limited financing options, and delayed U.S. regulatory reform—had resulted in significant losses for the Petitioner.

Conder Affidavit at para 61

56.The liquidity crisis has reached a critical juncture in the last fiscal year, despite a number of actions taken by management in an effort to reduce the Petitioner’s ongoing obligations and to obtain sufficient liquidity to support its short-term needs. The Petitioner has incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations.

Conder Affidavit at para 62

57.The Jupiter business remains viable, but the current debt and loan obligations are unsustainable without a restructuring while in court protection. In particular, the ongoing costs of being a public company can no longer be supported and are unnecessary. All value resides with the creditors, and they are unprepared to provide continued support without the restructuring set out in the Plan. The Petitioner has already taken all reasonable measures outside of a court proceeding, including refinancing debt, monetizing assets, cutting costs, and attempting to raise funds, but nonetheless remains insolvent.

Conder Affidavit at para 63


- 17 -

VI.The Restructuring Plan

58.To address the Petitioner’s current financial difficulties and liquidity challenges, should the Court grant the Petitioner CCAA protection, the Petitioner intends to seek approval of a plan of arrangement (the “Plan”).

Conder Affidavit at para 64;

Danielisz Affidavit at Exhibit “Y”

59.Any capitalized terms in this section not otherwise defined herein have the meaning set out in the Plan.

60.The Plan contemplates the cancellation of all Existing Equity of the Petitioner. In exchange for terminating the 2023 Guarantee and reducing the Junior Secured Debt by $1,000 on a pro rata basis amongst the Junior Secured Noteholders, the Junior Secured Noteholders will either

(a)

be issued new common shares in the capital of the Petitioner (the “New Shares”) on a pro rata basis among the Junior Secured Noteholders based on the total amount of Junior Secured Debt being converted, or

(b)

where conversion to equity is not possible for a Junior Secured Noteholder, they shall be entitled to decline their pro rata share of New Shares and retain the Junior Secured Debt owed to them as against Jupiter only.

The net result is that the Junior Secured Noteholders will own 100% of the equity in the Petitioner on implementation.

Conder Affidavit at para 66

61.The Plan will be voted on by the only affected creditors: the Junior Secured Noteholders. The Unaffected Claims—which includes all other secured and unsecured creditors of the Petitioner—will continue unaffected after the implementation of the Plan and those with Unaffected Claims will not be entitled to vote or receive any distributions under the Plan in respect of such Unaffected Claims.

Conder Affidavit at para 67


- 18 -

62.The Plan also releases all claims against (i) the Petitioner; (ii) the Directors and Officers of the Petitioner; (iii) legal counsel to the Petitioner; (iv) the Monitor and its legal counsel; and (v) the Junior Secured Noteholders (the “Released Parties”) relating to any Claim.

Conder Affidavit at para 68

63.The Plan also waives any and all defaults of the Petitioner arising from commencing the CCAA proceedings, the filing of the Plan, or the transactions contemplated in the Plan.

Conder Affidavit at para 69

64.The Petitioner’s management believe that notwithstanding the current financial and liquidity challenges, taking steps to seek protection under the CCAA and pursue approval of the Plan will maximize value and achieve a better result for the creditors and other stakeholders of the Petitioner than a cessation of business and liquidation of the Petitioner’s assets.

Conder Affidavit at para 70

VII.The Restructuring Support Agreements

65.In the lead up to the commencement of these CCAA proceedings, the Petitioner has engaged with a number of its key stakeholders, including the Junior Secured Noteholders, regarding the Petitioner’s proposed restructuring plan. The Petitioner has executed restructuring support agreements with each of its Secured Creditors confirming their support of the Plan (the “RSAs”).

Conder Affidavit at para 71;

Danielisz Affidavit at Exhibit “Z”

66.In the event that the Initial Order is granted, the Petitioner intends to continue its engagement with stakeholders in advance of the hearing seeking an Amended and Restated Initial Order and the Meeting Order, with the goal of further refining its restructuring plan in a manner that addresses, to the extent possible in the circumstances, any concerns regarding the proposed path forward.

Conder Affidavit at para 72


- 19 -

VIII.Cash Flow Forecast

67.With the assistance of the proposed Monitor, the Petitioner has undertaken a cash flow analysis to determine the quantum of funding required to finance the Petitioner’s operations, assuming the Initial Order is granted, over the 6-week period through to the week ending December 19, 2026 (the “Cash Flow Forecast”).

Conder Affidavit at para 77 and Exhibit “A”

68.The Cash Flow Forecast indicates that the Petitioner will have sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations during the Stay of Proceedings.

PART 3

LEGAL BASIS

69.The Petitioners rely upon:

(a)

the CCAA;

(b)

the Supreme Court Civil Rules, B.C. Reg. 168/2009, as amended;

(c)

the Business Corporations Act, S.B.C. 2002, c.57;

(d)

the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act, R.S.C. 1985, c. B-3 (the “BIA”);

I.

THE PETITIONER QUALIFIES FOR CCAA PROTECTION

a.

The meaning of “debtor companies” and “affiliated” debtor companies

70.The CCAA applies to a “debtor company” or “affiliated debtor companies” if the total claims against the debtor or its affiliates exceed $5 million. A “debtor company” is defined in s. 2 of the CCAA as, inter alia, a “company” that is “insolvent” or has committed an act of bankruptcy within the meaning of the BIA.

CCAA, s. 2


- 20 -

71.Section 3 of the CCAA includes affiliated debtor companies in the application of the CCAA. Pursuant to s. 3(2), companies are affiliated if one is the subsidiary of the other or both are controlled by the same person.

CCAA, s. 3

72.The following factors are important to consider when granting protection over affiliates of a company:

(a)

integration of high-level management between the applicants;

(b)

the use of a central cash management system between the applicants; and

(c)

a secured credit facility covering the applicants.

Smurfit-Stone Container Canada Inc., (Re), 2009 CanLII 2493 (ON SC), at paras. 8-9

b.

The meaninfl of “insolvency”

73.Whether a company is insolvent is evaluated by reference to the definition of “insolvent person” in the BIA, which provides that:

insolvent person means a person who is not bankrupt and who resides, carries on business or has property in Canada, whose liabilities to creditors provable as c/a/ms under this Act amount to one thousand dollars, and

(a)who is for any reason unable to meet his obligations as they generally become due,

(b)who has ceased paying his current obligations in the ordinary course of business as they generally become due, or

(c)the aggregate of whose property is not, at a fair valuation, sufficient, or, if disposed of at a fairly conducted sale under legal process, would not be sufficient to enable payment of all his obligations, due and accruing due;

BIA, s. 2

74.In the context of the CCAA, this test has been interpreted expansively. If a company is “reasonably expected to run out of liquidity within a reasonable proximity of time as compared with the time reasonably required to implement a restructuring”, it is considered insolvent.

Stelco Inc., Re, 2004 CanLII 24933 (ON SC) at paras. 21-26


- 21 -

c.

The CCAA applies to the Petitioner

75.The Petitioner qualifies for protection under the CCAA as:

(a)

the Petitioner is a corporation incorporated under the laws of British Columbia, and therefore “companies” under the CCAA;

(b)

the Petitioner is insolvent, as they have run out of liquidity and are unable to meet their obligations as they become due;and,

(c)

the claims against the Petitioner greatly exceed $5 million.

Conder Affidavit, at paras 6, 9, 58, 63, and 79;

Danielisz Affidavit at Exhibit “U”

II.

CCAA Protection is Appropriate in the Circumstances

76.The CCAA is remedial legislation which gives courts flexible mechanisms with greater judicial discretion, relative to the BIA, to achieve the CCAA’s legislative purpose.

Century Services Inc. v. Canada (Attorney General), 2010 SCC 60

[Century Services] at para. 60

77.The CCAA’s distinguishing features is “a grant of broad and flexible authority to the supen/ising court to make the orders necessary to facilitate the reorganization of the debtor and achieve the CCAA’s objectives”.

Century Services at para. 1 9

78.In pursuit of the legislation’s remedial objectives, CCAA proceedings have evolved beyond their historical going-concern focus to permit outcomes that do not necessarily result in the debtor’s continuing operations in a restructured state. Rather, CCAA proceedings may result in some form of liquidation of the debtor company, which may involve, among other things: sale of the debtor company as a going concern, an “en-bloc” sale of assets, partial liquidation or downsizing of business operations, or a piecemeal sale of assets.

9354-9186 Quebec inc. v. Callidus Capital Corp., 2020 SCC 10 at paras. 40-44;

Alderbridge Way GP Ltd. (Re), 2022 BCSC 1436 at para 24


- 22 -

79.In the circumstances, the CCAA proceedings are the best means to restructure the Petitioner’s balance sheet. The Petitioner has developed the Plan to ‘take the Petitioner private’, which will address the liquidity concerns and allow the Petitioner to emerge with a cleansed balance sheet. The existing share capital and all equity interests will be cancelled. All other debts of the Petitioner, both secured and unsecured, will be unaffected.

III.

PwC Should be Appointed as the Monitor

80.Section 11.7 of the CCAA requires that a trustee be appointed to monitor the debtor company’s business and financial affairs.

CCAA, s. 11.7

81.PwC has consented to act as the Monitor in the CCAA Proceeding and is a trustee within the meaning of section 2(1) of the BIA. PwC is also not affected by any of the restrictions on entities that may act as Monitor in section 1 1.7(2) of the CCAA. PwC has extensive experience acting as a Court-appointed monitor in CCAA proceedings. As such, the PwC should be appointed as the Monitor in the CCAA proceedings.

First Conder Affidavit at para 76;

Danielisz Affidavit at Exhibit “AA”

IV.

The Stay of Proceedings is Necessary and Appropriate

82.CCAA s. 11.02 provides this Court jurisdiction to order a stay of proceedings to temporarily prevent creditors from initiating of advancing claims against the debtor company for no more than ten days. This Court may grant a stay of proceedings of up to ten (10) days on an initial petition, provided it is satisfied that: (i) such a stay is appropriate; and (ii) the Petitioner has acted in good faith and with due diligence.

CCAA, ss. 11.02(1) and (3)

83.The primary purpose of the CCAA stay is to maintain the status quo for a period while the debtor company consults with its stakeholders with a view to continuing its operations for the benefit of its creditors.

JTI-Macdonald Corp., Re, 2019 ONSC 1625 at para 12; and

Century Services Inc. v Canada (Attorney General), 2010 SCC 60

[Century Services] at para 60


- 23 -

84.The threshold for a stay is low and a debtor company only has to satisfy this Court that a stay of proceedings would “usefully further” its efforts to reorganize.

Century Services at para 70

85.The Court must not grant an order pursuant to s. 11 of the CCAA unless the applicant satisfies the Court that:

(a)

circumstances exist that make the order appropriate; and

(b)

on an application in respect of a debtor company other than an initial application, the applicant has acted, and is acting, in good faith and with due diligence.

CCAA, ss. 11.02(3)

86.Here, the Stay of Proceedings is necessary and appropriate to give the Petitioner the breathing space to seek approval and, if approved, implement the Plan. The Petitioner prepared a 6-week Cash Flow Forecast that demonstrates the Petitioner will have sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations during the requested stay.

First Conder Affidavit at para 73 and 77 and Exhibit “A”

V.

The Petitioner Should be Authorized to Incur No Further Costs in Connection with its Securities Filings Obligations

87.Pursuant to the Initial Order, the Petitioner is seeking relief to dispense with certain securities filing requirements. Specifically, the Petitioner seeks authorization to incur no further expenses in relation to any filings (including financial statements), disclosures, core or non-core documents, restatements, amendments to existing filings, press releases or any other actions (collectively, the “Securities Filings”) that may be required by any federal, provincial, or other law respecting securities or capital markets in Canada, or by the rules and regulations of a stock exchange, including, without limitation, the Securities Act, R.S.B.C. 1996, c. 418 and comparable statutes enacted by other provinces of Canada, the rules, regulations and policies of the Cboe Canada Exchange. The Initial Order also provides that none of the directors and officers, employees, and other representatives of the Petitioner, and the Monitor (and its directors, officers, employees, and representatives), shall have any personal liability for any


- 24 -

failure by the Petitioner to make Securities Filings. Similar relief has been granted for reporting issuers under the CCAA.2

88.The Petitioner believes that incurring the time and costs associated with the Securities Filings would detract from their successful restructuring. Further, stakeholders will not be prejudiced given that detailed financial and other information on the Petitioner will continue to be publicly available through materials filed in these CCAA proceedings,

89.Finally, the language in the proposed Initial Order is limited to what is necessary for the Petitioner to focus on its restructuring and does not overreach by purporting to prohibit any securities regulator or stock exchange from taking any action or exercising any discretion that it may have as described in section 11.1(2) of the CCAA. Accordingly, the Petitioner believes that this relief is necessary and appropriate in the circumstances.

VI.The Statutory Requirements are Satisfied

90.Section 10(2) of the CCAA provides that an initial application under the CCAA must be accompanied by:

(a)

a statement indicating, on a weekly basis, the projected cash flow of the debtor company;

(b)

a report containing the prescribed representations of the debtor company regarding the preparation of the cash-flow statement; and,

(c)

copies of all financial statements, audited or unaudited, prepared during the year before the application or, if no such statements were prepared in that year, a copy of the most recent such statement.

CCAA, s. 10(2).

VII.

Notice was Appropriately Given

92.The Initial Order is being sought with short notice to the Petitioner’s stakeholders. The short notice with respect to this petition is necessitated by the urgency of the Petitioner’s need for relief and protection under the CCAA,

93.In this case, the Petitioner requires urgent relief due to their liquidity challenges and inability to pay liabilities as they become due. The proposed Comeback Hearing will ensure that all parties are able to attend the hearing to affirm and amend the Initial Order. In the circumstances, it is appropriate to grant the Initial Order on short notice.

Conder Affidavit at paras 59, 62, and 64

94.In accordance with the CCAA, the relief sought on an initial application is limited to such relief as is necessary in the circumstances:

An order made under section 11 at the same time as an order made under subsection 11.02(1) or during the period referred to in an order made under that subsection with respect to an initial application shall be limited to relief that is reasonably necessary for the continued operations of the debtor company in the ordinary course of business during that period.

CCAA, s. 11.001

95.The relief sought in the Initial Order is appropriate in the circumstances and is within this Court’s jurisdiction to grant.

Nothing in this Order, including in this paragraph, shall prevent the commencement of a Proceeding to preserve any claim against a director or officer of the Petitioner that might otherwise be barred or extinguished by the effluxion of time, provided that no further step shall be taken in respect of such Proceeding except for service of the initiating documentation on the applicable director or officer.

21.The Monitor shall not take possession of the Property and shall take no part whatsoever in the management or supervision of the management of the Business and shall not, by fulfilling its obligations hereunder, or by inadvertence in relation to the due exercise of powers or performance of duties under this Order, be deemed to have taken or maintained possession or control of the Business or Property, or any part thereof, and nothing in this Order shall be construed as resulting in the Monitor being an employer or a successor employer, within the meaning of any statute, regulation or rule of law or equity, for any purpose whatsoever.

22.Nothing herein contained shall require or allow the Monitor to occupy or to take control, care, charge, possession or management (separately and/or collectively, “Possession”) of any of the Property that might be environmentally contaminated, might be a pollutant or a contaminant, or might cause or contribute to a spilt, discharge, release or deposit of a substance contrary to any federal, provincial or other law respecting the protection, conservation, enhancement, remediation or rehabilitation of the environment or relating to the disposal of waste or other contamination including, without limitation, the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, the Fisheries Act, the British Columbia Environmental Management Act, the British Columbia Fish Protection Act and regulations thereunder (the “Environmental Legislation”), provided however that nothing herein shall exempt the Monitor from any duty to report or make disclosure imposed by applicable Environmental Legislation. For greater certainty, the Monitor shall not, as a result of this Order or anything done in pursuance of the Monitor’s duties and powers under this Order, be deemed to be in Possession of any of the Property within the meaning of any Environmental Legislation, unless it is actually in possession.

23.The Monitor shall provide any creditor of the Petitioner with information provided by the Petitioner in response to reasonable requests for information made in writing by such creditor addressed to the Monitor. The Monitor shall not have any responsibility or liability with respect to the information disseminated by it pursuant to this paragraph. In the case of information that the Monitor has been advised by the Petitioner is confidential, the Monitor shall not provide such information to creditors unless otherwise directed by this Court or on such terms as the Monitor and the Petitioner may agree.

24.In addition to the rights and protections afforded the Monitor under the CCAA or as an officer of this Court, the Monitor shall incur no liability or obligation as a result of its appointment or the carrying out of the provisions of this Order, save and except for any gross negligence or

wilful misconduct on its part. Nothing in this Order shall derogate from the rights and protections afforded the Monitor by the CCAA or any applicable legislation.
