CALGARY, AB, Aug. 5, 2026 /CNW/ -- High Tide Inc. ("High Tide" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:HITI) (TSXV:HITI) (FSE: 2LYA), the high-impact, retail-forward enterprise built to deliver real-world value across every component of cannabis, announced today that it has closed its previously announced senior secured credit facilities with Bank of Montreal ("BMO") in the aggregate principal amount of C$40 million (the "New Credit Facilities").

The closing follows the Company's June 15, 2026, announcement that it had secured credit approval from BMO. In connection with the closing, High Tide has repaid and terminated its existing senior credit facility with ConnectFirst Credit Union.
