Acreage Arrangement and Amendments to Cbi Investor Rights Agreement and Warrants	29. ACREAGE ARRANGEMENT AND AMENDMENTS TO CBI INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT AND WARRANTS Acreage Arrangement On September 23, 2020, the Company and Acreage entered into a second amendment (the “Acreage Amending Agreement”) to the arrangement agreement (the “Original Acreage Arrangement Agreement”) and plan of arrangement (the “Original Acreage Arrangement”) between the Company and Acreage dated April 18, 2019, as amended on May 15, 2019. In connection with the Acreage Amending Agreement, the Company and Acreage implemented an amended and restated plan of arrangement (the “Acreage Amended Arrangement”) on September 23, 2020. Pursuant to the terms of the Original Acreage Arrangement, shareholders of Acreage and holders of certain securities convertible into the existing Acreage subordinated voting shares as of June 26, 2019, received an immediate aggregate total payment of US$300,000 ($395,190) in exchange for granting Canopy Growth both the right and the obligation to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Acreage following the occurrence or waiver of changes in U.S. federal law to permit the general cultivation, distribution, and possession of marijuana or to remove the regulation of such activities from the federal laws of the United States (the “Triggering Event”) and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set out in the Original Acreage Arrangement Agreement. The Acreage Amended Arrangement provides for, among other things, the following: • Following the occurrence or waiver (at the discretion of Canopy Growth) of the Triggering Event and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set out in the Original Acreage Arrangement Agreement (as modified in connection with the Acreage Amending Agreement), Canopy Growth will acquire all of the issued and outstanding Fixed Shares based on an amended exchange ratio equal to 0.3048 of a common share to be received for each Fixed Share held. The foregoing exchange ratio for the Fixed Shares is subject to adjustment in accordance with the Acreage Amended Arrangement if, among other things, Acreage issues greater than the permitted number of Fixed Shares; • Upon the occurrence or waiver (at the discretion of Canopy Growth) of the Triggering Event, Canopy Growth will have the right (the "Acreage Floating Option") exercisable for a period of 30 days, to acquire all of the issued and outstanding Floating Shares for cash or common shares or a combination thereof, in Canopy Growth’s sole discretion at a price equal to the 30-day volume weighted average trading price of the Floating Shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange, subject to a minimum call price of US$6.41 per Floating Share. The foregoing exchange ratio for the Floating Shares is subject to adjustment in accordance with the Acreage Amended Arrangement if Acreage issues greater than the permitted number of Floating Shares. The acquisition of the Floating Shares, if acquired, will take place concurrently with the closing of the acquisition of the Fixed Shares; • Immediately prior to the acquisition of the Fixed Shares, each issued and outstanding Class F multiple voting share will automatically be exchanged for one Fixed Share and thereafter be acquired by Canopy Growth upon the same terms and conditions as the acquisition of the Fixed Shares; • If the occurrence or waiver of the Triggering Event does not occur by September 23, 2030, Canopy Growth’s rights to acquire both the Fixed Shares and the Floating Shares will terminate; • Upon implementation of the Acreage Amended Arrangement, Canopy Growth made a cash payment to the shareholders of Acreage and holders of certain convertible securities in the aggregate amount of US$37,500 ($49,849); and • Acreage is only permitted to issue an aggregate of up to 32,700,000 Fixed Shares and Floating Shares. See Note 3 for information regarding the Reorganization. In connection with the Reorganization, Canopy Growth irrevocably waived the Acreage Floating Option and subject to, among other things, the terms of the Floating Share Arrangement Agreement, Canopy USA will acquire all of the issued and outstanding Floating Shares. Following the implementation of the Reorganization, Canopy USA, as of October 24, 2022, holds certain U.S. cannabis investments previously held by the Company, which is expected to enable Canopy USA, following, among other things, the Meeting and the exercise of the Acreage Option, including the issuance of the Fixed Shares to Canopy USA, to consummate the acquisitions of Acreage, Wana and Jetty. At December 31, 2022, the right and the obligation (the “Acreage financial instrument”) to acquire the Fixed Shares pursuant to the Existing Acreage Arrangement Agreement represents a financial asset of $37,000 (March 31, 2022 – $47,000 liability), as the estimated fair value of the Acreage business is more than the estimated fair value of the consideration to be provided upon the exercise of the Acreage financial instrument. Fair value changes on the Acreage financial instrument are recognized in other income (expense), net; see Note 24. The fair value determination includes a high degree of subjectivity and judgment, which results in significant estimation uncertainty. See Note 22 for additional details on how the fair value of the Acreage financial instrument is calculated on a recurring basis. From a measurement perspective, the Company has elected the fair value option under ASC 825 - Financial Instruments ("ASC 825"). In connection with the Acreage Amended Arrangement, on September 23, 2020, an affiliate of the Company advanced US$50,000 ($66,995) to Universal Hemp, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Acreage (“Acreage Hempco”) pursuant to a secured debenture (“Hempco Debenture”). In accordance with the terms of the Hempco Debenture, the funds advanced to Acreage Hempco cannot be used, directly or indirectly, in connection with or for any cannabis or cannabis-related operations in the United States, unless and until such operations comply with all applicable laws of the United States. The Hempco Debenture bears interest at a rate of 6.1% per annum and matures on September 23, 2030, or such earlier date in accordance with the terms of the Hempco Debenture. All interest payments made pursuant to the Hempco Debenture are payable in cash by Acreage Hempco. The Hempco Debenture is not convertible and is not guaranteed by Acreage. In connection with the Reorganization, as described in Note 3, on October 24, 2022, the Company transferred the Hempco Debenture to Canopy USA. The amount advanced on September 23, 2020 pursuant to the Hempco Debenture has been recorded in other financial assets (see Note 10), and the Company has elected the fair value option under ASC 825 (see Note 22). At December 31, 2022, the estimated fair value of the Hempco Debenture issued to an affiliate of the Company by Acreage Hempco was $27,853 (March 31, 2022 – $28,824), measured using a discounted cash flow model (see Note 22). Refer to Note 10 for details on fair value changes, foreign currency translation adjustment, and interest received. An additional US$50,000 may be advanced pursuant to the Hempco Debenture subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions by Acreage Hempco. Amendment to the CBI Investor Rights Agreement and warrants On April 18, 2019, certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of CBI and Canopy Growth entered into the Second Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement and a consent agreement. In connection with these agreements, on June 27, 2019, Canopy Growth (i) extended the term of the first tranche of warrants, which allow CBI to acquire 88.5 million additional shares of Canopy Growth for a fixed price of $50.40 per share (the “Tranche A Warrants”), to November 1, 2023; and (ii) replaced the second tranche of warrants with two new tranches of warrants (the “Tranche B Warrants” and the “Tranche C Warrants”) as follows: • the Tranche B Warrants are exercisable to acquire 38.5 million common shares at a price of C$76.68 per common share; and • the Tranche C Warrants are exercisable to acquire 12.8 million common shares at a price equal to the 5-day volume-weighted average price of the common shares immediately prior to exercise. In connection with the Tranche B Warrants and the Tranche C Warrants, Canopy Growth will provide CBI with a share repurchase credit of up to $1.583 billion on the aggregate exercise price of the Tranche B Warrants and Tranche C Warrants in the event that Canopy Growth does not purchase for cancellation the lesser of (i) 27,378,866 common shares; and (ii) common shares with a value of $1.583 billion, during the period commencing on April 18, 2019 and ending on the date that is 24 months after the date that CBI exercises all of the Tranche A Warrants. The share repurchase credit feature is accounted for as a derivative liability, with the fair value continuing to be $nil at December 31, 2022. The modifications to the Tranche A Warrants resulted in them meeting the definition of a derivative instrument under ASC 815 - Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). They continue to be classified in equity as the number of shares and exercise price were both fixed at inception. The Tranche B Warrants are accounted for as derivative instruments (the “warrant derivative liability”) measured at fair value in accordance with ASC 815. At December 31, 2022, the fair value of the warrant derivative liability was $668 (March 31, 2022 – $26,920), and fair value changes are recognized in other income (expense), net; see Note 24. See Note 22 for additional details on how the fair value of the warrant derivative liability is calculated on a recurring basis. The Tranche C Warrants are accounted for as derivative instruments, with the fair value continuing to be $nil at December 31, 2022. As described in Note 3, in connection with the Reorganization, the Company entered into the Consent Agreement, pursuant to which CBG and Greenstar agreed, among other things, that in the event that CBG and Greenstar convert their ownership in the Company's common shares into Exchangeable Shares, CBG will surrender the warrants held by CBG to purchase 139,745,453 common shares of the Company for cancellation for no consideration.

29. ACREAGE ARRANGEMENT AND AMENDMENTS TO CBI INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT AND WARRANTS

On September 23, 2020, the Company and Acreage entered into a second amendment (the “Acreage Amending Agreement”) to the arrangement agreement (the “Original Acreage Arrangement Agreement”) and plan of arrangement (the “Original Acreage Arrangement”) between the Company and Acreage dated April 18, 2019, as amended on May 15, 2019. In connection with the Acreage Amending Agreement, the Company and Acreage implemented an amended and restated plan of arrangement (the “Acreage Amended Arrangement”) on September 23, 2020. Pursuant to the terms of the Original Acreage Arrangement, shareholders of Acreage and holders of certain securities convertible into the existing Acreage subordinated voting shares as of June 26, 2019, received an immediate aggregate total payment of US$300,000 ($395,190) in exchange for granting Canopy Growth both the right and the obligation to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Acreage following the occurrence or waiver of changes in U.S. federal law to permit the general cultivation, distribution, and possession of marijuana or to remove the regulation of such activities from the federal laws of the United States (the “Triggering Event”) and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set out in the Original Acreage Arrangement Agreement.

The Acreage Amended Arrangement provides for, among other things, the following:

•

Following the occurrence or waiver (at the discretion of Canopy Growth) of the Triggering Event and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set out in the Original Acreage Arrangement Agreement (as modified in connection with the Acreage Amending Agreement), Canopy Growth will acquire all of the issued and outstanding Fixed Shares based on an amended exchange ratio equal to 0.3048 of a common share to be received for each Fixed Share held. The foregoing exchange ratio for the Fixed Shares is subject to adjustment in accordance with the Acreage Amended Arrangement if, among other things, Acreage issues greater than the permitted number of Fixed Shares;

•

Upon the occurrence or waiver (at the discretion of Canopy Growth) of the Triggering Event, Canopy Growth will have the right (the "Acreage Floating Option") exercisable for a period of 30 days, to acquire all of the issued and outstanding Floating Shares for cash or common shares or a combination thereof, in Canopy Growth’s sole discretion at a price equal to the 30-day volume weighted average trading price of the Floating Shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange, subject to a minimum call price of US$6.41 per Floating Share. The foregoing exchange ratio for the Floating Shares is subject to adjustment in accordance with the Acreage Amended Arrangement if Acreage issues greater than the permitted number of Floating Shares. The acquisition of the Floating Shares, if acquired, will take place concurrently with the closing of the acquisition of the Fixed Shares;

•

Immediately prior to the acquisition of the Fixed Shares, each issued and outstanding Class F multiple voting share will automatically be exchanged for one Fixed Share and thereafter be acquired by Canopy Growth upon the same terms and conditions as the acquisition of the Fixed Shares;

•

If the occurrence or waiver of the Triggering Event does not occur by September 23, 2030, Canopy Growth’s rights to acquire both the Fixed Shares and the Floating Shares will terminate;

•

Upon implementation of the Acreage Amended Arrangement, Canopy Growth made a cash payment to the shareholders of Acreage and holders of certain convertible securities in the aggregate amount of US$37,500 ($49,849); and

See Note 3 for information regarding the Reorganization. In connection with the Reorganization, Canopy Growth irrevocably waived the Acreage Floating Option and subject to, among other things, the terms of the Floating Share Arrangement Agreement, Canopy USA will acquire all of the issued and outstanding Floating Shares. Following the implementation of the Reorganization, Canopy USA, as of October 24, 2022, holds certain U.S. cannabis investments previously held by the Company, which is expected to enable Canopy USA, following, among other things, the Meeting and the exercise of the Acreage Option, including the issuance of the Fixed Shares to Canopy USA, to consummate the acquisitions of Acreage, Wana and Jetty.

At December 31, 2022, the right and the obligation (the “Acreage financial instrument”) to acquire the Fixed Shares pursuant to the Existing Acreage Arrangement Agreement represents a financial asset of $37,000 (March 31, 2022 – $47,000 liability), as the estimated fair value of the Acreage business is more than the estimated fair value of the consideration to be provided upon the exercise of the Acreage financial instrument. Fair value changes on the Acreage financial instrument are recognized in other income (expense), net; see Note 24. The fair value determination includes a high degree of subjectivity and judgment, which results in significant estimation uncertainty. See Note 22 for additional details on how the fair value of the Acreage financial instrument is calculated on a recurring basis. From a measurement perspective, the Company has elected the fair value option under ASC 825 - Financial Instruments ("ASC 825").

In connection with the Acreage Amended Arrangement, on September 23, 2020, an affiliate of the Company advanced US$50,000 ($66,995) to Universal Hemp, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Acreage (“Acreage Hempco”) pursuant to a secured debenture (“Hempco Debenture”). In accordance with the terms of the Hempco Debenture, the funds advanced to Acreage Hempco cannot be used, directly or indirectly, in connection with or for any cannabis or cannabis-related operations in the United States, unless and until such operations comply with all applicable laws of the United States. The Hempco Debenture bears interest at a rate of 6.1% per annum and matures on September 23, 2030, or such earlier date in accordance with the terms of the Hempco Debenture. All interest payments made pursuant to the Hempco Debenture are payable in cash by Acreage Hempco. The Hempco Debenture is not convertible and is not guaranteed by Acreage. In connection with the Reorganization, as described in Note 3, on October 24, 2022, the Company transferred the Hempco Debenture to Canopy USA.

The amount advanced on September 23, 2020 pursuant to the Hempco Debenture has been recorded in other financial assets (see Note 10), and the Company has elected the fair value option under ASC 825 (see Note 22). At December 31, 2022, the estimated fair value of the Hempco Debenture issued to an affiliate of the Company by Acreage Hempco was $27,853 (March 31, 2022 – $28,824), measured using a discounted cash flow model (see Note 22). Refer to Note 10 for details on fair value changes, foreign currency translation adjustment, and interest received. An additional US$50,000 may be advanced pursuant to the Hempco Debenture subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions by Acreage Hempco.

On April 18, 2019, certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of CBI and Canopy Growth entered into the Second Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement and a consent agreement. In connection with these agreements, on June 27, 2019, Canopy Growth (i) extended the term of the first tranche of warrants, which allow CBI to acquire 88.5 million additional shares of Canopy Growth for a fixed price of $50.40 per share (the “Tranche A Warrants”), to November 1, 2023; and (ii) replaced the second tranche of warrants with two new tranches of warrants (the “Tranche B Warrants” and the “Tranche C Warrants”) as follows:

•

the Tranche C Warrants are exercisable to acquire 12.8 million common shares at a price equal to the 5-day volume-weighted average price of the common shares immediately prior to exercise.

In connection with the Tranche B Warrants and the Tranche C Warrants, Canopy Growth will provide CBI with a share repurchase credit of up to $1.583 billion on the aggregate exercise price of the Tranche B Warrants and Tranche C Warrants in the event that Canopy Growth does not purchase for cancellation the lesser of (i) 27,378,866 common shares; and (ii) common shares with a value of $1.583 billion, during the period commencing on April 18, 2019 and ending on the date that is 24 months after the date that CBI exercises all of the Tranche A Warrants. The share repurchase credit feature is accounted for as a derivative liability, with the fair value continuing to be $nil at December 31, 2022.

The modifications to the Tranche A Warrants resulted in them meeting the definition of a derivative instrument under ASC 815 - Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). They continue to be classified in equity as the number of shares and exercise price were both fixed at inception.

The Tranche B Warrants are accounted for as derivative instruments (the “warrant derivative liability”) measured at fair value in accordance with ASC 815. At December 31, 2022, the fair value of the warrant derivative liability was $668 (March 31, 2022 – $26,920), and fair value changes are recognized in other income (expense), net; see Note 24. See Note 22 for additional details on how the fair value of the warrant derivative liability is calculated on a recurring basis.

The Tranche C Warrants are accounted for as derivative instruments, with the fair value continuing to be $nil at December 31, 2022.

As described in Note 3, in connection with the Reorganization, the Company entered into the Consent Agreement, pursuant to which CBG and Greenstar agreed, among other things, that in the event that CBG and Greenstar convert their ownership in the Company's common shares into Exchangeable Shares, CBG will surrender the warrants held by CBG to purchase 139,745,453 common shares of the Company for cancellation for no consideration.
