The purpose of the Offering is to provide the Company with additional liquidity to further strengthen Canopy Growth’s financial position.

Each Unit will be comprised of (a) one common share of the Company (a “Common Share”) and (b)(i) one Series A Common Share purchase warrant (a “Series A Warrant”) or (ii) one Series B Common Share purchase warrant (a “Series B Warrant” and, together with the Series A Warrants, the “Warrants”). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one Common Share from the Company at a price equal to US$4.83. The Series A Warrants will be exercisable immediately following the closing of the Offering for a period of five years from such date and the Series B Warrants will be exercisable for a period commencing on the date that is six-months following the closing of the Offering and ending on the date that is five years following such date. The Company has also agreed to provide the Investors with customary registration rights.
The closing of the private placement pursuant to the Subscription Agreements is expected to occur on or about January 19, 2024, subject to Toronto Stock Exchange approval and customary closing conditions.
