Canopy USA | 3. CANOPY USA Reorganization - Creation of Canopy USA On October 24, 2022, Canopy Growth completed a number of strategic transactions in connection with the creation of a new U.S.-domiciled holding company, Canopy USA, LLC ("Canopy USA") (the "Reorganization"). Following the implementation of the Reorganization, Canopy USA, as of October 24, 2022, holds certain U.S. cannabis investments previously held by Canopy Growth, which is expected to enable Canopy USA, following, among other things, the Meeting (as defined below) and the exercise of the Acreage Option (as defined below), including the issuance of the Fixed Shares (as defined below) to Canopy USA, to consummate the acquisitions of Acreage Holdings, Inc. ("Acreage"), Mountain High Products, LLC, Wana Wellness, LLC and The Cima Group, LLC (collectively, "Wana"), and Lemurian, Inc. ("Jetty"). Following the implementation of the Reorganization, as of October 24, 2022, Canopy USA has an ownership interest in the following assets, among others: • Wana - The option to acquire 100% of the membership interests of Wana (the "Wana Option"), a leading cannabis edibles brand in North America. • Jetty - The option to acquire 100% of the shares of Jetty (the "Jetty Option"), a California-based producer of high-quality cannabis extracts and pioneer of clean vape technology. Canopy Growth currently retains the option to acquire the issued and outstanding Class E subordinate voting shares (the “Fixed Shares”) of Acreage (the "Acreage Option"), representing approximately 70% of the total shares of Acreage, at a fixed share exchange ratio of 0.3048 of a common share of Canopy Growth per Fixed Share. Concurrently with the closing of the acquisition of the Fixed Shares pursuant to the exercise of the Acreage Option, the Fixed Shares will be issued to Canopy USA. In addition, Canopy USA has agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding Class D subordinate voting shares of Acreage (the “Floating Shares”) by way of a court-approved plan of arrangement (the “Floating Share Arrangement”) in exchange for 0.45 of a common share of Canopy Growth for each Floating Share held. Acreage is a leading vertically-integrated multi-state cannabis operator, with its main operations in densely populated states across the Northeast U.S. including New Jersey and New York. In addition, as of October 24, 2022, Canopy USA holds direct and indirect interests in the capital of TerrAscend Corp. ("TerrAscend"), a leading North American cannabis operator with vertically integrated operations and a presence in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Michigan and California as well as licensed cultivation and processing operations in Maryland. Canopy USA's direct and indirect interests in TerrAscend includes: (i) 38,890,570 exchangeable shares in the capital of TerrAscend (the "TerrAscend Exchangeable Shares"), an option to purchase 1,072,450 TerrAscend common shares (the "TerrAscend Common Shares") for an aggregate purchase price of $1.00 (the "TerrAscend Option") and 22,474,130 TerrAscend Common Share purchase warrants previously held by Canopy Growth (the "TerrAscend Warrants"); and (ii) the debentures and loan agreement between Canopy Growth and certain TerrAscend subsidiaries. On December 9, 2022, Canopy USA and certain limited partnerships that are controlled by Canopy USA entered into a debt settlement agreement with TerrAscend and certain of its subsidiaries whereby all of the debt obligations, including all principal and interest, were extinguished and all of the previously issued TerrAscend Warrants controlled by Canopy USA were cancelled in exchange for the issuance of 24,601,467 TerrAscend Exchangeable Shares and 22,474,130 new TerrAscend Warrants expiring on December 31, 2032. See Note 10 for further details. Canopy USA was determined to be a variable interest entity ("VIE") pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 810 - Consolidations and Canopy Growth was determined to be the primary beneficiary of Canopy USA. As a result of such determination and in accordance with ASC 810, Canopy Growth has consolidated the financial results of Canopy USA. Ownership of U.S. Cannabis Investments Following the implementation of the Reorganization, the shares and interests in Acreage, Wana, Jetty and TerrAscend are held, directly or indirectly, by Canopy USA, and Canopy Growth no longer holds a direct interest in any shares or interests in such entities, other than the Acreage Option. Canopy Growth holds non-voting and non-participating shares (the "Non-Voting Shares") in the capital of Canopy USA. The Non-Voting Shares do not carry voting rights, rights to receive dividends or other rights upon dissolution of Canopy USA, but are convertible into Class A common shares of Canopy USA (the “Canopy USA Common Shares”). The Company also has the right (regardless of the fact that its Non-Voting Shares are non-voting and non-participating) to appoint two members to the Canopy USA board of managers. On October 24, 2022, Canopy USA issued 1,000,000 Canopy USA Common Shares to VCo Ventures LLC (“VCo Ventures”), a former shareholder of Jetty, in exchange for US$1,000. Agustin Huneeus Jr. is the manager of VCo Ventures. Following the closing of the investment, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company holds Non-Voting Shares in the capital of Canopy USA, representing approximately 99.3% of the issued and outstanding shares in Canopy USA on an as-converted basis. Canopy USA retains a call right (the “Repurchase Right”) to repurchase all shares of Canopy USA that have been issued to VCo Ventures at a price per Canopy USA Common Share equal to the greater of fair market value as determined by an appraiser appointed by Canopy USA and US$2,000 in the aggregate; provided that if the repurchase occurs prior to March 31, 2023, the Repurchase Right can be exercised at the initial subscription price. VCo Ventures has also been granted the right to appoint one member to the Canopy USA board of managers and a put right following the conversion of the Non-Voting Shares into Canopy USA Common Shares on the same terms and conditions as the Repurchase Right. On October 24, 2022, Canopy USA and the Company also entered into an agreement with, among others, Nancy Whiteman, the controlling shareholder of Wana, whereby subsidiaries of Canopy USA agreed to pay additional consideration in order to acquire the Wana Option and the future payments owed in connection with the exercise of the Wana Option will be reduced to US$3.00 in exchange for the issuance of Canopy USA Common Shares and Canopy Growth common shares (the “Wana Amending Agreement”). In accordance with the terms of the Wana Amending Agreement, Canopy USA Common Shares and Canopy Growth common shares will be issued to the shareholders of Wana, each with a value equal to 7.5% of the fair market value of Wana as of January 1, 2023. The value of Wana and the number of Canopy USA Common Shares will be determined based on the fair market value of Wana and the Canopy USA Common Shares, respectively, as determined by an appraiser appointed by the Company and an appraiser appointed by the shareholders of Wana (and, if required, a third appraiser to be appointed by the initial two appraisers). The Canopy USA Common Shares and Canopy Growth common shares will only be issued to Ms. Whiteman, or entities controlled by Ms. Whiteman, after January 1, 2023 and only if CBG Holdings LLC (“CBG”) and Greenstar Canada Investment Limited Partnership (“Greenstar”), indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Constellation Brands, Inc. (“CBI”), have converted their Canopy Growth common shares into Exchangeable Shares (as defined below). The Wana Amending Agreement may be terminated and no Canopy USA Common Shares or Canopy Growth common shares will be issued to Ms. Whiteman, or entities controlled by Ms. Whiteman in the event that CBG and Greenstar have not converted their Canopy Growth common shares into Exchangeable Shares by the later of: (i) sixty days after the Meeting; or (ii) March 31, 2023. The Canopy USA Common Shares issuable to Ms. Whiteman, or entities controlled by Ms. Whiteman, will also be subject to a repurchase right (the “Wana Repurchase Right”) to repurchase all Canopy USA Common Shares that have been issued at a price per Canopy USA Common Share equal to the greater of fair market value as determined by an appraiser and the initial subscription price multiplied by an accrued annual interest rate of 10%. As part of this agreement, Canopy USA has granted Ms. Whiteman the right to appoint one member to the Canopy USA board of managers and a put right on the same terms and conditions as the Wana Repurchase Right. Canopy Growth and Canopy USA have also entered into a protection agreement (the "Protection Agreement") to provide for certain covenants in order to preserve the value of the Non-Voting Shares held by Canopy Growth until such time as the Non-Voting Shares are converted into Canopy USA Common Shares but does not provide Canopy Growth with the ability to direct the business, operations or activities of Canopy USA. Upon closing of Canopy USA's acquisition of Acreage, Canopy Growth will receive additional Non-Voting Shares from Canopy USA in consideration for the issuance of common shares of the Company that shareholders of Acreage will receive in accordance with the terms of the Existing Acreage Arrangement Agreement (as defined below) and the Floating Share Arrangement Agreement. In addition, subject to the terms and conditions of the Protection Agreement and the terms of the option agreements to acquire Wana and Jetty, as applicable, Canopy Growth may be required to issue additional common shares in satisfaction of certain deferred and/or option exercise payments to the shareholders of Wana and Jetty. Canopy Growth will receive additional Non-Voting Shares from Canopy USA as consideration for any Company common shares issued in the future to the shareholders of Wana and Jetty. Until such time as Canopy Growth converts the Non-Voting Shares into Canopy USA Common Shares, Canopy Growth will have no economic or voting interest in Canopy USA, Wana, Jetty, TerrAscend, or Acreage. Canopy USA, Wana, Jetty, TerrAscend, and Acreage will continue to operate independently of Canopy Growth. Acreage Agreements On October 24, 2022, Canopy Growth entered into an arrangement agreement with Canopy USA and Acreage (the "Floating Share Arrangement Agreement"), pursuant to which, subject to approval of the holders of the Floating Shares and the terms and conditions of the Floating Share Arrangement Agreement, Canopy USA will acquire all of the issued and outstanding Floating Shares by way of a court-approved plan on arrangement (the "Floating Share Arrangement") in exchange for 0.45 of a Company common share for each Floating Share held. In connection with the Floating Share Arrangement Agreement, the Company has irrevocably waived the Acreage Floating Option (as defined below) existing under the Existing Acreage Arrangement Agreement. It is expected that the Floating Share Arrangement will be effected by way of a court-approved plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). The Floating Share Arrangement requires the approval of: (i) at least two-thirds of the votes cast by the holders of the Floating Shares; and (ii) at least a majority of the votes cast by the holders of the Floating Shares, excluding the votes cast by "interested parties" and "related parties" (as such terms are defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection Of Minority Security Holders In Special Transactions), at a special meeting of Acreage shareholders. On October 24, 2022, Canopy Growth and Canopy USA entered into voting support agreements with certain of Acreage's directors, officers and consultants pursuant to which such persons have agreed, among other things, to vote their Floating Shares in favor of the Floating Share Arrangement, representing approximately 7.3% of the issued and outstanding Floating Shares. In addition to shareholder and court approvals, the Floating Share Arrangement is subject to approval of the Amendment Proposal (as defined below) and applicable regulatory approvals including, but not limited to, Toronto Stock Exchange approval and the satisfaction of certain other closing conditions customary in transactions of this nature. Assuming timely receipt of all necessary court, shareholder, regulatory and other third-party approvals and the satisfaction of all other conditions, closing of the acquisition of Acreage is expected to occur in late 2023. It is intended that Canopy Growth's existing option to acquire the Fixed Shares on the basis of 0.3048 of a Company common share per Fixed Share will be exercised after the Meeting in accordance with the terms of the arrangement agreement dated April 18, 2019, as amended on May 15, 2019, September 23, 2020 and November 17, 2020 (the "Existing Acreage Arrangement Agreement"). Canopy Growth will not hold any Fixed Shares or Floating Shares. Completion of the acquisition of the Fixed Shares following exercise of the option is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Existing Acreage Arrangement Agreement. The acquisition of the Floating Shares pursuant to the Floating Share Arrangement is anticipated to occur immediately prior to the acquisition of the Fixed Shares pursuant to the Existing Acreage Arrangement Agreement in late 2023 such that 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Acreage will be owned by Canopy USA on closing of the acquisition of both the Fixed Shares and the Floating Shares. In addition, the Company entered into additional agreements related to Acreage that are described in Note 10. Special Shareholder Meeting In connection with the Reorganization, Canopy Growth expects to hold a special meeting of shareholders (the "Meeting") at which Canopy Growth shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed appropriate, to pass a special resolution authorizing an amendment to its articles of incorporation, as amended (the "Amendment Proposal"), in order to: (i) create and authorize the issuance of an unlimited number of a new class of non-voting and non-participating exchangeable shares in the capital of Canopy Growth (the “Exchangeable Shares”); and (ii) restate the rights of the Company's common shares to provide for a conversion feature whereby each common share may at any time, at the option of the holder, be converted into one Exchangeable Share. The Exchangeable Shares will not carry voting rights, rights to receive dividends or other rights upon dissolution of Canopy Growth but will be convertible into common shares. The Amendment Proposal must be approved by at least 66 ⅔% of the votes cast on a special resolution by Canopy Growth's shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting. On October 24, 2022, CBG and Greenstar entered into a voting and support agreement with Canopy Growth (the “Voting and Support Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Voting and Support Agreement, CBG and Greenstar agreed, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, among other things, to vote all of the Canopy Growth common shares beneficially owned, directed or controlled, directly or indirectly, by them for the Amendment Proposal. In the event the Amendment Proposal is approved, and subject to the conversion by CBI of their Canopy Growth common shares into Exchangeable Shares, Canopy USA is expected to exercise the Wana Option and the Jetty Option. In the event the Amendment Proposal is not approved, Canopy USA will not be permitted to exercise its rights to acquire shares of Acreage, Wana or Jetty and the Floating Share Arrangement Agreement will be terminated. In such circumstances, Canopy will retain its option to acquire the Fixed Shares under the Existing Acreage Arrangement Agreement and Canopy USA will continue to hold the Wana Option and the Jetty Option, as well as the TerrAscend Exchangeable Shares and other securities in the capital of TerrAscend. In addition, the Company is contractually required to cause Canopy USA to exercise its Repurchase Right to acquire the Canopy USA Common Shares held by the third party investors, being the Canopy USA Common Shares held by VCo Ventures. Balance Sheet Actions On October 24, 2022, Canopy Growth entered into agreements with certain of its lenders under its term loan credit agreement dated March 18, 2021 (the "Credit Agreement") pursuant to which Canopy Growth will tender US$187,500 of the principal amount outstanding thereunder at a discounted price of US$930 per US$1,000 or US$174,375 in the aggregate (the "Paydown"). The first payment of $117,528 (US $87,852) was made on November 10, 2022 to reduce the principal indebtedness by $126,324 (US $94,427). The second payment pursuant to the Paydown is required to be made by no later than April 17, 2023. See Note 15 for further details. Canopy Growth also agreed with its lenders to amend certain terms of the Credit Agreement (collectively, the "Credit Agreement Amendments"). The Credit Agreement Amendments include, among other things: (i) reductions to the minimum Liquidity (as defined in the Credit Agreement) covenant to US$100,000, which is to be further reduced as payments are made in accordance with the Paydown; (ii) certain changes to the application of net proceeds from asset sales; (iii) the establishment of a new committed delayed draw term credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of US$100,000; and (iv) the elimination of the additional US$500,000 incremental term loan facility. Relationship with CBI In connection with the Reorganization, CBI has indicated its current intention to convert all of its common shares of the Company into Exchangeable Shares, conditional upon the approval of the Amendment Proposal. However, any decision to convert will be made by CBI in its sole discretion, and CBI is not obligated to effect any such conversion. In connection with the foregoing, on October 24, 2022, Canopy Growth entered into a consent agreement with CBG and Greenstar (the “Consent Agreement”), pursuant to which the parties agreed, among other things, that following the conversion by CBG and Greenstar of their respective Canopy Growth common shares into Exchangeable Shares, other than the Consent Agreement and the termination rights contained therein and the 4.25% unsecured senior Canopy Growth notes due in 2023 (the "Notes") held by Greenstar, all agreements between Canopy Growth and CBI, including the Second Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement, dated as of April 18, 2019, by and among certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of CBI and Canopy Growth (the "Second Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement"), will be terminated. Pursuant to the terms of the Consent Agreement, CBG and Greenstar also agreed, among other things, that at the time of the conversion by CBG and Greenstar of their Canopy Growth common shares into Exchangeable Shares, (i) CBG will surrender the warrants held by CBG to purchase 139,745,453 common shares for cancellation for no consideration; and (ii) all nominees of CBI that are currently sitting on the board of directors of Canopy Growth (the "Board") will resign from the Board. In addition, pursuant to the Consent Agreement, Canopy Growth is contractually required to convert its Non-Voting Shares into Canopy USA Common Shares and cause Canopy USA to repurchase the Canopy USA Common Shares held by certain third-party investors in Canopy USA in the event CBG and Greenstar have not converted their respective common shares into Exchangeable Shares by the later of: (i) sixty days after the Meeting; or (ii) February 28, 2023 (the “Termination Date”). The Consent Agreement will automatically terminate on the Termination Date. In the event that CBI does not convert its Canopy Growth common shares into Exchangeable Shares, Canopy USA will not be permitted to exercise its rights to acquire the Fixed Shares, Wana or Jetty, and the Floating Share Arrangement Agreement will be terminated. In such circumstances, Canopy Growth will retain its option to acquire the Fixed Shares under the Existing Acreage Arrangement Agreement and Canopy USA will continue to hold the Wana Option and the Jetty Option, as well as the TerrAscend Exchangeable Shares and other securities in the capital of TerrAscend. In addition, the Company is contractually required to cause Canopy USA to exercise its Repurchase Right to acquire the Canopy USA Common Shares held by the third party investors, being the Canopy USA Common Shares held by VCo Ventures. Potential Changes to Canopy USA Structure The Company is committed to both optimizing the value of Canopy USA and remaining in compliance with the Nasdaq Stock Market (the "Nasdaq") listing requirements. Accordingly, while Canopy Growth remains in discussions with the Nasdaq and another exchange with respect to its ongoing listing despite the consolidation of the financial results of Canopy USA with the Company’s financial results, the Company is prepared to make changes to the structure of its interest in Canopy USA such that Canopy Growth would not be required to consolidate the financial results of Canopy USA into Canopy Growth’s financial statements, which may include: (1) reducing Canopy Growth’s economic interest in Canopy USA on an as-converted basis to no greater than 90%; (2) reducing the number of managers on Canopy USA’s board of managers from four to three, including, reducing Canopy Growth’s nomination right to a single manager; (3) modifying the terms of the Protection Agreement and Canopy USA’s Limited Liability Company Agreement in order to eliminate certain negative covenants; and (4) modifying the terms of the agreements with third-party investors in Canopy USA to, among other things, eliminate their right to guaranteed returns.
