Description of business

Tilray, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively “Tilray”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or the “Successor”) is a global medical cannabis research, cultivation, processing and distribution organization, and is one of the leading suppliers of adult-use cannabis in Canada. The Company also markets and distributes food products from hemp seed, offering a broad range of natural and organic hemp-based food products and ingredients that are sold through retailers and websites globally.

On April 30, 2021 Tilray acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Aphria Inc. (“Aphria”), an international organization with a focus on building a global cannabis-lifestyle consumer packaged goods company and involved in the manufacturing and distribution of beer and beer derivative products in the United States, and in the distribution of (non-Cannabis) pharmaceutical products in Germany, pursuant to a plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”) under the Ontario Business Corporations Act.

Under the terms of the Arrangement, stockholders of Aphria received 0.8381 (the “Exchange Ratio”) of a share of Tilray common stock for each Aphria share held. Tilray stockholders continued to hold their Tilray common stock, which remains outstanding. The Exchange Ratio resulted in Aphria stockholders and Tilray stockholders owning 61.2% and 38.8%, respectively, of the post-closing outstanding Tilray common stock (on a fully diluted basis), resulting in the reverse acquisition of Tilray under the acquisition method, whereby Aphria is deemed to be the acquiring entity from an accounting perspective. Following the completion of the Arrangement, Tilray is the consolidated parent of Aphria and the resulting company operates under the Tilray corporate name.
