An asset acquisition out of administration is not the acquisition of the historical legal entity, and Tally does not record it as one.
How Tally knows
Tilray's SEC filings record that on 2 March 2026 Tilray UK acquired certain business operations and assets of BrewDog plc and subsidiaries through a pre-packaged administration in Scotland under the Insolvency Act 1986, for £33m: the Ellon brewery and distillery, the online and retail business, 11 pubs, and the worldwide BrewDog brand and sub-brand intellectual property. BrewDog Brewing Australia Pty Ltd was acquired as a company on 9 March 2026, and the US assets under a separate later agreement. The answer is PARTIALLY because the brewery record conflates a legal entity still in administration with assets now held by a different group.
