Canopy Growth Announces Mailing of Proxy Materials for 2026 Annual General and Special Meeting – Urges Shareholders to Vote Now

Key Terms

quorum regulatory

A quorum is the minimum number of members needed to officially hold a meeting or make decisions. It ensures that decisions are made with enough participation to represent the group’s interests, much like a majority must be present for a vote to be valid. For investors, understanding quorum is important because it affects when and how important company or organization decisions can be legally made.

proxy statement regulatory

A proxy statement is a document companies send to shareholders ahead of a meeting that lays out the items up for a vote—like who will sit on the board, executive pay, and major corporate decisions—and provides background so shareholders can decide how to cast their votes or appoint someone to vote for them. Think of it as an agenda plus a ballot and briefing notes, important because the outcomes can change control, strategy, and value.

share consolidation financial

Share consolidation is a process where a company reduces the total number of its shares by combining multiple existing shares into a smaller number of higher-value shares. This can make each share more expensive and potentially improve the company’s image. For investors, it often means their ownership remains the same, but the value of each share increases, which can influence how the stock is perceived and traded.

omnibus incentive plan financial

An omnibus incentive plan is a single, flexible program a company uses to give employees and executives different types of pay tied to performance — for example stock options, restricted shares, cash bonuses and other awards — all governed by one set of rules. It matters to investors because it determines how many new shares may be created, how leaders are motivated and how much the company will spend on compensation over time; think of it as a master toolbox that affects both costs and the total share supply.

Why your vote matters

Nasdaq listing rules require a quorum of 33 1/3% of outstanding shares entitled to vote, present or by proxy at the Meeting. Given Canopy Growth’s shareholder base, reaching quorum depends on strong participation – if it isn’t met, the Meeting must be adjourned at additional cost to the Company. Shareholders of record as of July 31, 2026, are eligible to vote; we encourage voting in advance even if you plan to attend live.

The Meeting Materials are filed on EDGAR and SEDAR+ under the Company’s profile at www.sedarplus.ca. The annual report is available at: https://canopygrowth.com/agm/.

Items up for vote

The board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) recommends FOR on Items 1-6, and every ONE year on Item 7 (each as described in the Company’s proxy statement):

1. The election of the Board;
2. The appointment of MNP LLP as the Company’s auditor and independent registered public accounting firm, and to authorize the Board or any responsible committee thereof to fix their remuneration;
3. A share consolidation (reverse stock split) proposal - shareholders approved a similar proposal in 2025 (the “2025 Proposal”), but there was no need to implement the 2025 Proposal; if approved again, implementation remains at the Board’s discretion which may similarly determine not to proceed with it;
4. An advance notice by-law proposal;
5. The approval of all unallocated entitlements under the Company’s omnibus incentive plan;
