MedReleaf Corp. and Aurora Cannabis Inc. shares were halted on Thursday afternoon, pending news.

The trading halts of the licensed medical marijuana producers’ stocks comes after The Globe and Mail reported that MedReleaf was seeking a buyer, according to sources.

The Globe also cited a source saying Edmonton-based Aurora had submitted a friendly offer to acquire the Markham, Ont.-based cannabis firm.

Aurora said it does not comment on speculative media reports.

“The Company does confirm that it engages in discussions with industry participants from time to time, including MedReleaf,” Aurora said in a statement on Thursday afternoon. “At this time the Company confirms there is no agreement, understanding or arrangement with respect to any transaction with MedReleaf.”
