[DEF 14A] Canopy Growth Corporation Definitive Proxy Statement

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Q2 2025 highlights (PKST 10-Q)

Peakstone Realty Trust advanced its shift toward an industrial-only REIT, selling nine office properties (1.09 m sq ft) for $192.4 m year-to-date and reclassifying one additional office asset as held-for-sale. The portfolio now totals 94 properties (89 operating, 5 redevelopment) across Industrial and Office segments.

Income statement: Rental income slipped 3.4 % YoY to $54.0 m; six-month rental income declined 3.6 % to $111.0 m. A $286.1 m Q2 impairment (mainly office) pushed GAAP net loss to $286.8 m (-$7.22/sh); first-half loss widened to $340.2 m. Operating cash flow remained positive at $39.7 m.

Balance sheet: Assets fell to $2.19 bn from $2.68 bn at YE-24, driven by sales and write-downs. Net debt decreased to $1.25 bn after a $100 m revolver pay-down; cash & restricted cash increased to $272.7 m. Net leverage (Debt/Assets) is roughly 57 %.

Capital structure: $750 m interest-rate swaps matured 1 Jul 25; $550 m forward swaps (fixed 3.58 %) now hedge variable-rate debt through 2029. Liquidity on the revolver is $91 m.

Strategic outlook: Management intends to divest all remaining office assets and redeploy proceeds into industrial outdoor storage (IOS) to capture higher risk-adjusted returns. Execution risk on disposals and further impairments remain key watch-points.

Positive

• Cash & restricted cash rose to $272.7 m, enhancing acquisition and debt-service flexibility.
• $100 m revolver repayment reduced unsecured borrowings and interest expense.
• Dispositions generated $192.4 m gross proceeds, validating liquidity of office assets despite weak market.
• Forward swaps fix $550 m of debt at 3.58 % through 2029, limiting future rate exposure.

Negative

• $286 m Q2 impairment and $340 m YTD net loss sharply reduced equity and highlight office valuation stress.
• Rental income declined 3-4 % YoY, indicating soft fundamentals.
• Shareholders’ equity fell 32 % since YE-24, pressuring leverage metrics.
• Office assets still represent a significant portion of portfolio, risking further write-downs and sales uncertainty.

Insights

Equity Research Analyst

TL;DR: Heavy impairments drive deep losses; liquidity intact but thesis depends on completing office exit.

The $286 m Q2 write-down erased nearly a quarter of shareholder equity, underscoring valuation pressure on office assets. Core rental income erosion is modest, yet FFO is deeply negative, limiting dividend capacity. Cash of $264 m plus undrawn revolver capacity gives ~ $355 m purchasing power, but leverage is still high at ~7× annualized NOI. Successful execution of the office sell-down at book or better will determine whether PKST can recycle capital into IOS without dilutive equity raises. Interest-rate risk looks contained after forward swaps. Overall impact: negative until impairment cycle ends.

REIT Portfolio Manager

TL;DR: Strategic pivot promising; market waits for proof via industrial acquisitions and NOI stabilization.

The company has monetised $192 m of offices at reasonable pricing and reduced revolver borrowings, signalling disciplined capital stewardship. IOS focus could expand cap-rate spreads and lower cap-ex burdens, aligning with investor demand for supply-chain assets. However, office represents 42 % of gross real estate post-sale, so further marks and cash burn are probable. Hedge rollover handled prudently. I view the quarter as strategically neutral but operationally challenging; shares likely stay range-bound until additional sales close and industrial pipeline is disclosed.

Corporate Governance Highlights

​

​ Improved Governance Policies ​ ​ The Board has also continued to maintain and has updated existing policies after completing a thorough review of its corporate governance practices. In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 (“Fiscal 2025”), no new policies were adopted by the Board. However, the Board made certain updates to its existing governance policies, including: •
An updated version of the Form 8-K Disclosure Compliance Policy was adopted by the Board that refined language regarding financial disclosure information. ​ •
An updated version of the Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption Policy was adopted by the Board that clarified a consequence for failure to comply with the policy, refined the applicability of the policy to Business Associates (as such term is defined in the Clawback Policy), and added language refining employee obligations under the policy and identified the Chief Legal Officer as responsible for enforcement of the policy within the Company. ​ •
An updated version of the Clawback Policy was adopted by the Board that included a transition period in the event the Company changes its fiscal year and clarified language regarding the method of recouping incentive-based compensation and other recoupment rights, including providing discretion for the Board on enforcement of the policy. This policy is applicable to executives, officers and to senior management as well as other persons who perform policy-making functions of the Company. ​ •
An updated version of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics was adopted by the Board to refine existing language, including among other things, clarifications regarding the procedure in a situation where further guidance is required. ​ •
An updated version of the Disclosure Policy was adopted by the Board that added language regarding company-controlled social media, clarified language on authorized spokespersons, and refined language on disclosures and communications made in the necessary course of business. ​ •
An updated version of the Insider Trading Policy was adopted by the Board that further defined securities and exemptions to trading prohibitions, clarified pre-clearance request procedures for Reporting Insiders (as such term defined in the Insider Trading Policy), and further refined post trading reporting procedures for Reporting Insiders required to file reports under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. ​ •
An updated version of the Regulation FD Policy was adopted by the Board that added a cybersecurity incident to the scope of the policy. ​ For more on the corporate governance policies and charters, see page 28. ​

TABLE OF CONTENTS

​	Board Orientation and Continuing Education	​	​	In Fiscal 2025, the Board was offered four education sessions, one of which was presented by external advisors and three were presented by various Company business units.

Sessions were held in-person and virtually and the majority were attended by all members of the Board. For more on continuing education of the Board, see “Board of Directors, Committees and Governance − Orientation and Continuing Education” on page 29.	​

Compensation Strategy and Decisions

​

Executive Compensation Decisions in Fiscal 2025

The CGCN Committee recommends to the Board the Company’s approach to executive compensation, including the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and his direct reports. Following a comprehensive review of our compensation philosophy, policies and incentive programs in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, the Company continued to apply its enhanced approach to executive compensation in a challenging Fiscal 2025 environment.

Luc Mongeau

Luc Mongeau’s compensation package was designed to reflect both market benchmarks and the unique dynamics of the cannabis industry, which remains volatile. Mr. Mongeau’s total compensation consists of a base salary of C$975,000, a short-term incentive (“STI”) bonus of 100% of his earned and received base salary (the “Mongeau Target Amount”), and a long-term incentive (“LTI”) award of 300% of his base salary, with 50% in stock options (“Options”) and 50% in restricted stock units (“RSUs”). For Fiscal 2025, Mr. Mongeau’s target STI ranged from 0-2x the Mongeau Target Amount based on the achievement of certain mutually developed financial/operational/strategic and individual performance objectives, which have been approved by the CGCN Committee. For Fiscal 2025, Mr. Mongeau’s STI amount was pro-rated from his start date through the end of Fiscal 2025. While this compensation deviates from the prior CEO’s compensation package, it is reflective of the new organizational size, while maintaining a focus on aligning pay with performance.

As part of the CEO transition, Mr. Mongeau received a sign-on grant of 225,000 Options and 50,000 RSUs on February 11, 2025, following the end of the Company’s quarterly financial blackout period. This grant is designed to incentivize long-term value creation and align Mr. Mongeau’s interests with those of Shareholders. Such grant is separate from, and in addition to, Mr. Mongeau’s annual LTI award, which will be granted at the same time as LTI awards to our other executive officers and employees.

D. Klein (Former CEO) Compensation Updates

For Fiscal 2025, prior to the retirement decision, Mr. Klein approached the CGCN Committee with recommendations to align his compensation package to reflect the Company’s size, scale and market capitalization. These adjustments reflected ongoing efforts to optimize executive compensation structures that are in line with corporate objectives, market conditions, and shareholder interests.

Effective June 8, 2024, Mr. Klein’s base salary was adjusted from US$975,000 to US$750,000 aligning Mr. Klein’s base salary to the 50th percentile of our U.S. based peer population. Mr. Klein’s annual STI target of 125% and LTI target of 400% will be calculated against his new base salary. This overall reduction in compensation aligns with the Company’s compensation philosophy disclosed above and is aimed at ensuring competitiveness in the executive compensation landscape while prudently managing cash costs.

In Fiscal 2025, in addition to the LTI award that Mr. Klein was entitled to under the Klein Agreement (as defined below), Mr. Klein received a one-time equity grant valued at US$500,000 divided equally between Options and RSUs, with the Options vesting in full one year from the grant date on June 10, 2025, and the RSUs vesting in full on June 15, 2025.

As announced on August 16, 2024, Mr. Klein intended to retire at the end of the fiscal year but remained as CEO until Mr. Mongeau commenced serving as CEO on January 6, 2025. Upon commencement of Mr. Mongeau’s service as CEO, Mr. Klein transitioned into the title of Special Advisor to the Board. Mr. Klein continued to receive his compensation entitlements through March 31, 2025. During the period of April 1, 2025 – August 31, 2025, Mr. Klein will be paid a monthly stipend of US$5,000. Upon retirement on August 31, 2025, all outstanding equity awards granted to Mr. Klein by the Company will be forfeited in accordance with the terms of the Company’s Omnibus Incentive Plan (as defined below).

Short-Term Incentives

In Fiscal 2025, the CGCN Committee approved a performance-based bonus for our NEOs (as defined below under the heading “Compensation Discussion and Analysis”), totaling 77.6% of target. This decision is

TABLE OF CONTENTS

grounded in notable achievements: exceeding targets with 17.6% against the Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below in this proxy statement) target and 29.3% against the revenue target, which were impacted by broader industry headwinds and continued market volatility. Despite these financial challenges, the Company delivered on key corporate priorities.

The corporate objectives established and certified by the CGCN Committee as having been achieved at a superior level which included cash management, new product development, and sourcing of product internationally. These priorities were designed to drive long-term sustainability and align operations with the Company’s strategic plan. The executive teams’ performance in these areas was critical to maintaining operational discipline, fostering innovation, and positioning the Company for future growth.

Long-Term Incentives

For Fiscal 2025, following a comprehensive review of LTI plan design, Mercer (as defined below), our third party Compensation Consultant recommended, and the CGCN Committee and the Board approved, maintaining the same grant percentages for executive management committee (“EMC”) members (salary X accrual %), while modifying the equity mix. For Fiscal 2025, Mr. Klein’s annual grant consisted of 75% Options and 25% RSUs, while his one-time equity award reflected 50% Options and 50% RSUs. Both awards were granted on June 10, 2024. Ms. Hong, the Company’s former CFO and Dr. Gedeon’s annual grants were composed of 50% Options and 50% RSUs, and were also granted on June 10, 2024. In addition to his sign on grants discussed above, Mr. Mongeau was granted 14,360 RSUs on June 10, 2024, in alignment with his compensation package for serving on the Board.

Conclusion

​

The Board aims to provide clear and comprehensive disclosure of the Company’s oversight and decision making. We continue to welcome any feedback as the Board and the Company continue to evolve.

Instructing your Proxy and Exercise of Discretion by your Proxy

the persons designated in the form of proxy as your proxyholder they will, unless you give contrary instructions, vote in accordance with the recommendations of the Board of Directors (the “Board”). The Board recommends that Shareholders vote as follows:

1.

“FOR” the election of each of the five director Nominees (as defined below) named in this Proxy Statement (the “Director Election Proposal”);

​

2.

“FOR” the re-appointment of PKF O’Connor Davies LLP, (“PKFOD”), as the Company’s auditor and independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026 (“Fiscal 2026”) and to authorize the Board or any responsible committee thereof to fix PKFOD’s remuneration (the “PKFOD Re-Appointment Proposal”);

​

3.

“FOR” the adoption of a special resolution (the “Share Consolidation Resolution”) approving the amendment to the articles of the Company to provide that: (i) the authorized capital of the Company be altered by consolidating all of the issued and outstanding Shares and Exchangeable Shares on the basis of a ratio to be determined by the Board, in its sole discretion, within a range of one post-consolidation share for every five to fifteen outstanding pre-consolidation shares with the exact ratio to be set at a whole number within this range by the Board in its sole discretion and applicable for both the Shares and Exchangeable Shares; and (ii) any fractional shares arising from the consolidation of the Shares and Exchangeable Shares will be deemed to have been tendered by its registered owner to the Company for cancellation for no consideration (the “Share Consolidation Proposal”); and

​

4.

“FOR” the adoption of an advisory (non-binding) resolution approving the compensation of our NEOs (as defined below), as described in this Proxy Statement (the “Say-on-Pay Proposal”).

​

Further details about these matters are set out in this Proxy Statement. If any matters other than those referred to in the Notice of Meeting properly come before the Meeting, the individuals named in the accompanying proxy form will vote the proxies held by them in accordance with their best judgment. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, management is not aware of any business other than the items referred to in the Notice of Meeting that will be considered at the Meeting.

Revoking your Proxy

If you want to revoke your proxy after you have delivered it, you can do so at any time before the cut-off period noted in the paragraph below. You may do this by (a) attending the Meeting and voting if you were a registered Shareholder at the Record Date; (b) signing and delivering a proxy bearing a later date; (c) signing a written statement which indicates, clearly, that you want to revoke your proxy and delivering this signed written statement to the registered office of the Company at 1 Hershey Drive, Smiths Falls, Ontario, K7A 0A8, Attention: Chief Legal Officer; or (d) in any other manner permitted by law.

Your proxy will only be revoked if a revocation is received by 4:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the last business day before the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment or postponement thereof, or delivered to the Chair of the Meeting at invest@canopygrowth.com before it commences. If you revoke your proxy and do not replace it with another that is deposited with the Company before the deadline, you can still vote your Shares, but to do so you must attend the Meeting.

Non-Registered Shareholders

The information set forth in this section is of significant importance to Shareholders who do not hold Shares in their own name (“non-registered Shareholders”). If your Shares are not registered in your own name, they will be held in the name of an Intermediary, usually a bank, trust company, securities dealer or other financial institution and, as such, your Intermediary will be the entity legally entitled to vote your Shares and must seek your instructions as to how to vote your Shares.

Intermediaries are required to seek voting instructions from non-registered Shareholders in advance of Shareholder meetings. Every Intermediary has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return voting instructions, which should be carefully followed by non-registered Shareholders to ensure that their Shares are voted at the Meeting. Often, the form of proxy supplied to a non-registered Shareholder by its

4

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Intermediary is identical to the form of proxy provided by the Company to the Intermediaries. However, its purpose is limited to instructing the Intermediary on how to vote on behalf of the non-registered Shareholder. The majority of Intermediaries now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions on how to vote from clients to Broadridge. Broadridge typically mails the voting information form (“VIF”) to the non-registered Shareholders and asks the non-registered Shareholders to return the VIF to Broadridge. Broadridge then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of Shares to be represented at the Meeting. A non-registered Shareholder receiving a VIF from Broadridge cannot use that VIF to vote Shares directly at the Meeting. The VIF must be returned to Broadridge or the Intermediary well in advance of the Meeting to have the Shares voted.

If you are a beneficial owner of shares registered in the name of an Intermediary, you may generally change your vote by (1) submitting new voting instructions to your Intermediary or (2) if you have obtained a “legal proxy” from the organization that holds your shares giving you the right to vote your shares, by attending the Meeting and voting in person. However, please consult your broker or other Intermediary for any specific rules it may have regarding your ability to change your voting instructions.

In accordance with the requirements of NI 54-101 and SEC Rule 14a-16, the Company is using notice-and-access to send proxy-related materials for use in connection with the Meeting to non-registered Shareholders using the “indirect” sending procedures set out in NI 54-101 and SEC Rule 14a-16. Accordingly, the Company has distributed copies of the Notice of Internet Availability or, if a non-registered Shareholder has so requested, proxy materials, in connection with the Meeting to Broadridge to deliver, on behalf of the Intermediaries, to each non-registered Shareholder.

If you are a non-registered Shareholder and wish to appoint someone as your proxyholder, including yourself, to participate in the Meeting, please follow the instructions below under “Participation at the Meeting.”

Voting by Non-Registered Shareholders

As a non-registered Shareholder, you can vote your Shares in the following ways:

​	Internet:	​	​	Go to www.proxyvote.com. Enter the 16-digit control number printed on the Notice of Internet Availability or VIF and follow the instructions on screen.	​
​	Phone:	​	​	Call 1-800-474-7493 (English) or 1-800-474-7501 (French) and follow the instructions. You will need to enter your 16-digit control number. Follow the interactive voice recording instructions to submit your vote.	​

Clients of Robinhood Securities, LLC who are eligible to vote will receive a voting notice from noreply@robinhood.com with voting hosted by Say Technologies.

Broker Non-Votes

A “broker non-vote” occurs when a broker who holds its customer’s Shares in the name of a brokerage submits proxies for such Shares but indicates that it does not have authority to vote on a particular matter. Generally, this occurs when brokers have not received any voting instructions from their customers. Without specific instructions, Canadian brokers are prohibited from voting their customers’ Shares.

Without specific instructions, US brokers, as the holders of record, are permitted to vote their customers’ Shares on “routine” matters only, but not on other matters. The only proposals that constitute “routine” matters

on which U.S. brokers will have discretion to vote are the PKFOD Re-Appointment Proposal and the Share Consolidation Proposal.

Voting Securities and Principal Shareholders

The authorized share capital of the Company includes an unlimited number of Shares. Each Shareholder is entitled to one vote for each Share held by such Shareholder. As of the Record Date, 239,849,225 Shares were issued and outstanding.

There are no special rights or restrictions attached to the Shares. The Shares rank equally as to all benefits which might accrue to the holders thereof, including the right to receive dividends out of monies of the Company properly applicable to the payment of dividends if and when declared by the Board and to participate ratably in the remaining assets of the Company in any distribution on a dissolution or winding-up. Shareholders do not have cumulative voting rights with respect to the election of directors.

Any Shareholder of record at the close of business on the Record Date who either attends the Meeting or who has completed and delivered a proxy in the manner specified, subject to the provisions described above, will be entitled to vote or to have such Shareholder’s Shares voted at the Meeting.

Canopy Growth held a special meeting of shareholders on April 12, 2024 at which Shareholders approved 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 a new class of non-voting, non-participating exchangeable shares in the capital of Canopy Growth (the “Exchangeable Shares”); and (ii) restate the rights of the Shares to provide for a conversion feature whereby each Share may at any time, at the option of the holder, be converted into one Exchangeable Share. The Exchangeable Shares do not carry voting rights, rights to receive dividends or other rights upon dissolution of Canopy Growth but are convertible into Shares on a one-for-one basis at any time. Any sale of Exchangeable Shares requires the holder thereof to deliver a certification to the Company that such holder reasonably believes that such transfer is occurring in compliance with the Canadian take-over bid requirements as though the Exchangeable Shares were voting securities or equity securities of the Company.

As of the Record Date, to the knowledge of the directors and executive officers of the Company, no person or entity beneficially owns, or controls or directs, directly or indirectly, voting securities of the Company carrying 10% or more of the voting rights attached to the Shares. However, as of the Record Date, Constellation Brands, Inc. (“CBI”) and its affiliates (collectively, the “CBI Group”) collectively hold 26,261,474 Exchangeable Shares, representing 100% of the issued and outstanding Exchangeable Shares and approximately 9.9% of the issued and outstanding Shares on an as-converted basis.

INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSON IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

No person or company who is, or at any time since the beginning of Fiscal 2025 was, a director or executive officer of the Company, and no person who is a proposed management Nominee for election as a director of the Company, or an associate or affiliate of any such director, executive officer or proposed Nominee, has any material interest, direct or indirect, by way of beneficial ownership or otherwise, in matters to be acted upon at the Meeting other than the Director Election Proposal.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This Proxy Statement makes reference to certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized measures under United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers; however, the Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to assist readers in evaluating the performance of the Company.

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as the reported net loss, adjusted to exclude: income tax recovery (expense); other income (expense), net; loss on equity method investments; share-based compensation

expense; depreciation and amortization expense; asset impairment and restructuring costs; expected credit losses on financial assets and related charges; restructuring costs recorded in cost of goods sold; and charges related to the flow-through of inventory step-up on business combinations; and further adjusted to remove acquisition-related costs. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides meaningful and useful financial information as this measure demonstrates the operating performance of businesses.

For more information regarding the non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company, see our 2025 Annual Report.

PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as at March 31, 2025 and 2024 and for each of the years in the three-year period ended March 31, 2025, together with the auditor’s report thereon, will be placed before the Shareholders at the Meeting.

PROPOSAL NO. 1 – DIRECTOR ELECTION PROPOSAL

Board of Directors

The Company currently has five directors, and the Board has nominated five nominees (the “Nominees”) to be elected at the Meeting, whose names are set forth below. Four of the five nominees are currently directors of the Company and have been nominated by the Board for re-election as directors at the Meeting. Four of the five Nominees have been directors since the dates indicated below and each director elected at the Meeting will hold office until the next annual general meeting of Shareholders or until his or her successor is duly elected or appointed. Information about each nominated director can be found in the “Nominees for Election as Directors at the Meeting” section below.

Canopy Growth is subject to the statutory majority voting requirements under the CBCA (the “CBCA Majority Voting Requirements”), which became effective on August 31, 2022. In accordance with the CBCA Majority Voting Requirements, directors stand for election each year at the annual meeting of Shareholders, and a separate vote of Shareholders is taken with respect to each candidate nominated for director. If there is an uncontested election, each candidate is elected only if the number of votes cast in their favor represents a majority of the votes cast for and against them by the Shareholders who are present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting. If an incumbent director is not re-elected in an uncontested election, the director may continue in office until the earlier of (i) the 90th day after the day of the election; and (ii) the day on which their successor is appointed or elected. Majority voting will not apply in the case of a contested election of directors, in which case the directors will be elected by a plurality of votes of the shares represented in person or by proxy at the meeting and voted on the election of directors.

Nominees for Election as Directors at the Meeting

The table below sets forth certain biographical information regarding the Nominees as of the Record Date. In addition, a discussion of the qualifications, attributes and skills of each Nominee that led the Board and the Corporate Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee (“CGCN Committee”) to the conclusion that he or she should continue to serve as a director follows each of the Nominee biographies. Additional information regarding the skills and expertise of each of the Nominees is included below under the section entitled “Board of Directors, Committees and Governance – Board Skills Matrix.” If a Nominee is listed as “Independent” in the table below, that Nominee meets the requirement to be an “independent director” under Rule 5605(a)(2) of the Listing Rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market (the “Nasdaq Rules”) and the definition of “independence” under National Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees (“NI 52-110”).

TABLE OF CONTENTS​

BOARD OF DIRECTORS, COMMITTEES AND GOVERNANCE

Overview

The Board and management of the Company recognize the importance of corporate governance for the effective management of the Company and the protection of its stakeholders, particularly Shareholders.

National Policy 58-201 – Corporate Governance Guidelines establishes corporate governance guidelines that apply to all public companies. National Instrument 58-101 – Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices mandates disclosure of corporate governance practices, which disclosure is set out below, in accordance with Form 58-101F1 – Corporate Governance Disclosure. The Company is also required to comply with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “SOX”) and the applicable rules adopted by the SEC pursuant to SOX, as well as the Nasdaq Rules and the rules of the TSX.

Maintaining a high standard of corporate governance is a priority for the Board and the Company’s management as both believe that effective corporate governance will help create and maintain Shareholder value in the long term. A description of the Company’s corporate governance practices is set out below.

Board of Directors

The Board is responsible for the stewardship of the Company, supervising the management of our business and our affairs and acting in the best interests of the Company and Shareholders. The Board has adopted a written “Corporate Governance Guidelines,” pursuant to which the Board assumes responsibility for the stewardship of the Company. The Corporate Governance Guidelines are attached as Appendix A to this Proxy Statement and are also available on the Company’s website at www.canopygrowth.com/investors/​governance/committees-charters/.

The Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines state that the primary responsibilities of directors are to exercise their business judgment in good faith and to act in what they reasonably believe is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders. Directors are required to fulfill their responsibilities consistent with their fiduciary duties to Shareholders, in compliance with all applicable rules and regulations and subject to the provisions of the Company’s certificate of incorporation, as amended, and its bylaws. In forming his or her judgment, each director is entitled to rely in good faith on the accuracy of the records of the Company and the information, opinions, reports or statement presented by the Company’s officers, employees, Board committees, outside advisors and auditors. In discharging their obligations, directors are entitled to rely on the honesty and integrity of the Company’s senior executives and its outside advisors and auditors.

The independent judgment of the Board in carrying out its responsibilities is the responsibility of all directors. The Board facilitates independent supervision of management through meetings of the Board and through frequent informal discussions among independent members of the Board and management. In addition, the Board has free access to the Company’s external auditors, external legal counsel and to the Company’s officers.

Board Meetings

The Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines state that all directors are expected to make reasonable best efforts to attend all meetings of the Board, all meetings of the committees of which they are members and the annual meeting of Shareholders, and to maintain a satisfactory Board and committee meeting attendance record of no less than 75% in the aggregate, subject to recusal by the Board or relevant committee. During Fiscal 2025, each director attended 75% or more of the aggregate of the total number of meetings of the Board and the total number of meetings of all Committees on which such director served (in each case held during such director’s relevant period of service). During Fiscal 2025, the Board met 24 times, the Audit Committee met 4 times and the CGCN Committee met 5 times. During Fiscal 2025, the current directors attended, in aggregate, 97.9% of the total number of Board meetings, 100% of CGCN Committee meetings, and 100% of Audit Committee meetings held and on which he or she served during his or her period of service. Each director attended at least 91% of the aggregate of (i) the total number of meetings of the Board held during the period for which the director had been a director and (ii) the total number of meetings held by all committees of the Board on which the director served during the periods that the director served. The Board and committees held a combination of in person and video conference meetings.

21

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The individual attendance summary for each of the directors who served as a director during Fiscal 2025 is set forth above.

Board Member Attendance at Annual Shareholder Meetings

The Company generally encourages, but does not require, directors to attend the Company’s annual meetings of Shareholders. Directors are encouraged to attend Board meetings and meetings of committees of which they are members in person but may also attend such meetings by telephone or video conference. All directors were present at the Company’s 2024 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, which was held via live audio webcast held on September 24, 2024.

Director Independence

The Board is currently comprised of five directors: Luc Mongeau, Willy Kruh, Theresa Yanofsky, Shan Atkins and David Lazzarato (Chair). Please see the biographies of individual directors under “Proposal No. 1 – Director Election Proposal – Nominees for Election as Directors at the Meeting.” As of the date this Proxy Statement, a majority of the directors of the Company meet the independence requirements for a director in accordance with Section 1.4 of NI 52-110 and the definition of “independent director” under applicable Nasdaq Rules. The Board has determined that four out of the five Nominees (or 80% of the Nominees), namely Mr. Lazzarato, Ms. Atkins, Mr. Bayern and Ms. Yanofsky, have no relationship which, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director, and each is an “independent director” under Rule 5605(a)(2) of the Nasdaq Rules and meet the definition of “independence” under NI 52-110. Mr. Mongeau is not considered independent because of his role as the CEO of the Company.

During Fiscal 2025, following the conclusion of formal business of each quarterly Board meeting, the non-independent director was asked to leave the meeting, and the independent directors held an “in camera” meeting to facilitate open and candid discussion. In addition, any item which could involve a potential conflict of interest among one or more directors is voted on by those directors that are not related to the conflict in question. It is anticipated that “in camera” meetings of the independent directors will continue to be held in this manner during the current fiscal year.

Board Leadership Structure and Qualifications

Pursuant to the Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Board must be composed of a majority of “independent directors,” including the Chair of the Board. The Company defines an “independent director” in accordance with the standards and requirements promulgated by all applicable regulatory bodies exercising control over the Company, including Rule 5605(a)(2) of the Nasdaq Rules. Where it is not appropriate for the Chair of the Board to be independent, an independent director will be appointed to act as lead director (the “Lead Director”).

Currently, Luc Mongeau serves as our CEO and David Lazzarato serves as Chair of the Board. Because Mr. Lazzarato is an independent director, we currently do not have a Lead Director.

The Chair of the Board will preside over all meetings of the directors, be responsible for the agenda at all meetings of the Board and, if present, will preside over meetings of Shareholders. The Chair will convey recommendations of the independent directors to the Board and will be the liaison between the Board and the management of the Company. The Chair will preview information sent to the Board as necessary and approve meeting schedules to ensure that there is sufficient time for discussion of all agenda items.

The key responsibilities of the Chair of the Board include, among other things:

•

providing leadership to the Board with respect to its functions as described in the Corporate Governance Guidelines and as otherwise may be appropriate;

​

•

ensuring Canopy Growth’s policies and practices related to corporate governance and Board operations are properly reflected in internal and external communications;

​

•

working with the CGCN Committee, submitting to the Board a proposed slate of directors for election at the annual general meeting of Shareholders;

​

22

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

ensuring that appropriate procedures are in place for the effective operation of the Board;

​

•

managing the ongoing performance review and the compensation plan for the Company’s CEO; and

​

•

being available to the Company’s CEO and management to provide guidance and advice.

​

Where it is not appropriate for the Chair of the Board to be independent, the Lead Director carries out the primary responsibilities that would otherwise be the responsibility of the independent Chair of the Board. The Board believes that requiring that there be a Lead Director in the event the Chair of the Board is not an Independent Director is appropriate at this time to provide the most effective leadership structure for Canopy Growth in the rapidly evolving and highly-regulated cannabis industry.

Oversight of Risk Management

The Board oversees the management of risks inherent in the operation of our business, with a focus on the most significant risks that we face. The Board performs this role primarily through its Audit Committee and CGCN Committee. Each Board committee addresses the risks specific to the function of that committee. For example, the Board committees address the following risks:

•

The Audit Committee performs the Board’s oversight responsibilities as they relate to our accounting policies, internal controls, and financial reporting practices, and is responsible for, among other things, overseeing the process by which the Company assesses and manages risk and identifying risks inherent in the Company’s business including cyber security risks.

​

•

In connection with its corporate compensation responsibilities, the CGCN Committee reviews all compensation policies and practices for all employees to determine whether such policies and practices create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

​

•

In connection with its corporate governance responsibilities, the CGCN Committee is to discuss with management and evaluate management’s efforts to ensure that the Company’s management is taking into account risks that may affect the Company in the areas of human capital management, and the need to update disclosure controls and procedures to address evolving disclosure requirements on environmental, social and governance matters.

​

Committee Chairs

The Board has developed written charters with respect to each of the Audit Committee and the CGCN Committee, which includes a description of the primary responsibilities of the Chairs of such committees.

The primary responsibilities of the Chair of the Audit Committee and CGCN Committee include, among other things: chairing and setting the agenda for the meetings of the applicable committee, providing leadership to the applicable committee and acting as liaison and maintaining communication with the Chair of the Board and the Board to optimize and co-ordinate input from directors, and to optimize the effectiveness of the applicable committee. The Corporate Governance Guidelines and the committee charters set out in writing the responsibilities of the Board and the committees, respectively.

Committees of Our Board of Directors

The standing committees of the Board consist of the Audit Committee and the CGCN Committee. The responsibilities of these committees are described below. In addition, the Board may establish other committees from time to time to assist the Board in connection with specific matters. The Board oversees the operations of the committees, the appointment of their respective members, their compensation and their conduct. The Board has no intention at this time to establish other standing committees. The following table summarizes the current membership of the Board and each of its committees:

​	Director Name	​	​	Audit Committee	​	​	CGCN Committee	​
​	David Lazzarato	​	​	Member	​	​	Member	​
​	Theresa Yanofsky	​	​	Member	​	​	Chair	​
​	Luc Mongeau	​	​	-	​	​	-	​
​	Willy Kruh	​	​	Chair	​	​	Member	​
​	Shan Atkins	​	​	Member	​	​	-	​

The Audit Committee and the CGCN Committee have adopted detailed charters outlining their responsibilities, including the specific responsibilities of the chair of each committee. Copies of these charters are available on the Company’s website at www.canopygrowth.com/investors/governance/committees-charters/.

Audit Committee

General. The Board has a separately designated standing Audit Committee established in accordance with the Nasdaq Rules. All members of the Audit Committee are considered to be “independent” within the meaning of such term under applicable Nasdaq Rules for Audit Committees and Section 1.4 of NI 52-110. The members of the Audit Committee are appointed by the Board, and each member of the Audit Committee serves at the pleasure of the Board until the member resigns, is removed or ceases to be a member of the Board.

The Board has determined that Mr. Willy Kruh, the Chair of the Audit Committee, qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” for purposes of the SEC’s rules and meets the requirements for independence of audit committee members under the Nasdaq Rules. The SEC has indicated that the

24

TABLE OF CONTENTS

designation of Mr. Kruh as an audit committee financial expert does not make him an “expert” for any purpose, impose any duties, obligations or liabilities on him that are greater than those imposed on other members of the Audit Committee and the Board who do not carry this designation or affect the duties, obligations or liabilities of any other member of the Audit Committee or the Board. Ms. Shan Atkins also qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” for purposes of the SEC’s rules and meets the requirements for independence of audit committee members under the Nasdaq Rules.

Purpose. The Audit Committee’s primary purpose is to assist the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities for the financial reporting process, the system of internal control over financial reporting and accounting compliance, the audit process of the financial statements and processes for identifying, evaluating and monitoring the management of the Company’s principal risks impacting financial reporting. The committee also assists the Board with the oversight of financial strategies and the adequacy and effectiveness of the Company’s overall risk management program. The Audit Committee Chair also meets regularly with management and with the Company’s internal auditors, including its CFO, and its external auditors, PKFOD. The Audit Committee Charter (the “Audit Committee Charter”) sets forth the role and responsibilities of the committee’s chair.

Responsibilities. Pursuant to the Audit Committee Charter, the Audit Committee is directly responsible for, among other things: (1) assisting the Board with the oversight of the quality and integrity of the Company’s financial statements, (2) the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of the independent auditors, including resolution of disagreements between management and the independent auditors regarding financial reporting, (3) establishment and maintenance of processes to assure compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements and the Company Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, (4) overseeing the process by which the Company assesses and manages risk, including identifying risks inherent in the Company’s business and (5) establish, monitor and review policies, procedures, implementation, and maintenance of internal accounting, financial control and management information (“Internal Controls”), including, among other things, discussing with management and evaluating management’s efforts to ensure that the Company’s Internal Controls take into account risks that may affect the Company in the areas of cybersecurity, climate risk and human capital management.

The Audit Committee Charter is available on the Company’s website at www.canopygrowth.com/​investors/governance/committees-charters/.

CGCN Committee

General. The CGCN Committee is currently comprised of three directors of the Company. All members of the CGCN Committee are considered to be an “independent director” under applicable Nasdaq Rules relating to compensation committees and nominating committees and meet the definition of “independence” under NI 52-110.

Purpose. The CGCN Committee’s purpose is to provide leadership in shaping the corporate governance policies and practices of the Company, put forward nominations for the appointment of directors by the Board, discharge the responsibilities of the Board relating to compensation of the Company’s directors and executive officers as determined by the Board, assist the Board in establishing appropriate incentive compensation and equity-based plans and to administer such plans, oversee the annual process of evaluation of the performance of management; and to assist the Board in its oversight of CGCN Committee’s human resource strategies.

Responsibilities - Compensation and Corporate Governance Matters. The CGCN Committee’s primary responsibilities are, among other things, to assist the Board in discharging its responsibilities relating to: (1) setting the Company’s compensation program, (2) administering and monitoring the incentive and equity-based compensation plans including awards under the Company’s Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Incentive Plan”), and (3) preparing the compensation committee report, in the annual report and proxy statement under the rules and regulations of the SEC. In addition, the CGCN Committee is responsible for overseeing and assessing the functioning of the Board, its committees and individual directors, for the development, recommendation to the Board, implementation and assessment of effective corporate governance principles, overseeing the process of succession planning for the CEO and, as warranted, other

25

TABLE OF CONTENTS

senior officers of the Company, and handling such other matters that are specifically delegated to the committee by the Board from time to time.

Pursuant to the CGCN Committee charter (the “CGCN Committee Charter”), the CGCN Committee shall, among other things:

•

annually, review and approve or recommend that the Board approve corporate goals and objectives relevant to CEO compensation, evaluate the CEO’s performance in light of those corporate goals and objectives, and approve or recommend that the Board approve the CEO’s compensation level based on this evaluation;

​

•

annually review and, as appropriate, approve or recommend that the Board approve each element of compensation including salaries, bonuses, benefits, and perquisites, and including with respect to any equity-based plans, for the CEO and each other executive officer;

​

•

annually review, and as appropriate, approve or recommend the results of the most recent shareholder advisory vote on the compensation of named executive officers (a “Say on Pay Vote”) when considering executive compensation policies and decisions, the frequency with which the Company will conduct Say on Pay Votes, the inclusion of proposals regarding the Say on Pay Vote and the frequency of the Say on Pay Vote in any Company filing with the SEC in accordance with applicable law and regulation; and

​

•

annually, review the results of the CEO’s performance with the Chair of the Board or the Lead Director, as applicable.

​

The CGCN Committee Charter does not provide for delegation of these duties.

Pursuant to the CGCN Committee Charter, the CGCN Committee has the authority to retain, at Canopy Growth’s expense, a compensation consultant only after taking into consideration the independence factors set out in Rule 5605(d)(3)(D) of the Nasdaq Rules (the “Compensation Committee Advisor Independence Factors”), to the extent applicable. For Fiscal 2025, after considering the Compensation Committee Advisor Independence Factors, the CGCN Committee directly retained Mercer (Canada) Limited (“Mercer”) as its compensation consultant.

For additional information with respect to the role of Mercer in the determination of executive compensation, please see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” including the information under the subsection entitled “Annual Oversight of Compensation.”

Responsibilities - Board Nominations. The CGCN Committee is responsible for: identifying individuals qualified to become members of the Board, consistent with criteria approved by the Board, and to select, or to recommend that the Board select, the director nominees for the next annual meeting of Shareholders. In carrying out the foregoing duties, the CGCN Committee consistently seeks to achieve a balance of knowledge, experience, diversity and capability on the Board. While the CGCN Committee has not established specific minimum qualifications for director candidates, it considers all pertinent factors that it deems appropriate, including diversity (See “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion” below), and believes that the Board should be comprised of directors who (i) are predominantly independent, (ii) are of high integrity, (iii) have broad, business-related knowledge and experience at the policy-making level, (iv) have qualifications that will increase overall Board effectiveness, and (v) meet other requirements as may be required by applicable rules, such as financial literacy or financial expertise with respect to Audit Committee members. In evaluating and identifying candidates, the CGCN Committee has the authority to retain and terminate any third-party search firm that is used to identify director candidates and has the authority to approve the fees and retention terms of any search firm.

The CGCN Committee will also consider director nominations identified by Shareholders. Nominations by Shareholders must be provided in a timely manner and must include sufficient biographical information so that the CGCN Committee can appropriately assess the proposed nominee’s background and qualifications. For a Shareholder to have his or her candidate considered by the CGCN Committee for inclusion as a director nominee at the 2026 annual meeting of Shareholders, Shareholder submissions of candidates for nomination to the Board must be submitted in writing to the Corporate Secretary of the Company at Canopy Growth Corporation, 1 Hershey Drive, Smiths Falls, Ontario, K7A 0A8. Potential

26

TABLE OF CONTENTS

nominees recommended by a Shareholder in accordance with these procedures will be considered and evaluated in the same manner as other potential nominees.

From time to time, the CGCN Committee has retained certain executive search firms to identify potential Board candidates based on identified skills that are complimentary to those identified in the Board skills matrix with respect to current directors, taking into account expected or current vacancies. Prospective nominees are identified with the assistance of an executive search firm and interviewed by each committee member and the Company’s CEO. The CGCN Committee will select and deliver an offer to the prospective nominee for their appointment to the Board.

The CGCN Committee Charter is available on the Company’s website at www.canopygrowth.com/​investors/governance/committees-charters/.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

No person who served as a member of the CGCN Committee during Fiscal 2025 has served as an officer or employee of the Company, and no such person had any relationships with the Company of the type that is required to be disclosed under Item 404 of Regulation S-K. During Fiscal 2025, none of our executive officers served as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee (or other board committee performing equivalent functions) of another entity one of whose executive officers served on the CGCN Committee or the Board.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

The Board is committed to ensuring diversity amongst the directors and senior management of the Company. Since March 2020, the Board has maintained a written policy that recognizes the value of having diversified and inclusive representation amongst its directors and senior management (the “Leadership Diversity Policy”). The Leadership Diversity Policy sets forth the Company’s focus on promoting the contribution from individuals with a wide variety of background and experiences and the Company’s commitment to representing the communities and broad consumer base and workforce of which it serves.

The CGCN Committee is guided by the following principles in identifying qualified candidates for nomination to the Board and based on recommendation from the CEO, appointing and promoting senior management:

a)

Candidates should be weighed against objective criteria and selection should be based on merit, taking into account the benefits of diverse representation amongst leadership – Nominating respected and experienced board members and senior leadership from a variety of backgrounds is crucial for company success. The diversity strategy will supplement the constituent factors that inform the nomination and appointment process.

​

b)

Achieving diversity requires intentional effort – The Company continues to integrate and refine the goal of diverse representation with regard to gender, age, sexual orientation, and ethno-cultural groups as well as “Designated Groups” ​(as defined in the Employment Equity Act, namely women, members of visible minorities, Indigenous peoples and persons with disabilities) amongst Board members and senior management through ongoing review and evaluation of the results of the implementation of the diversity strategy.

​

c)

Achieving diversity leads to increased credibility and engagement – The Company acknowledges that the nature of the cannabis industry and cannabis consumers is such that diversity amongst leadership increases credibility and engagement with consumers and the communities we serve.

​

d)

Diversity amongst leadership is particularly important and beneficial in the cannabis industry – The Company recognizes that inequities and barriers for designated groups have marked the history of the industry and will continue to do so without leadership from the cannabis industry itself. Subscribing to a broad diversity strategy will set an example and provide leadership in the nascent stages of our industry.

​

The Leadership Diversity Policy does not set formal targets for representation of persons included in any of the Designated Groups on the Board or in senior management of the Company, due primarily to the

27

TABLE OF CONTENTS

limited size of the Board and of the senior management team, reliance on self-reporting and the need to ensure that recruitment efforts and appointments are primarily based on the merits of the individuals and the needs of the Company at the relevant time. However, the CGCN Committee takes gender and other diversity representation from women and other members of Designated Groups into consideration as part of its overall nomination, recruitment, election and re-election process, but it remains one factor amongst many others, and as such, no special weighting is given to that criterion.

Over the course of Fiscal 2025, the Company has continued its journey towards creating greater equity in its workplace. We have undertaken the below noted steps to help us achieve our diversity, equity and inclusion (“DEI”) vision to: 1) develop a workforce of talent that reflects the communities and consumers we serve, and 2) create an inclusive environment where individuals feel welcomed, respected and valued based on their unique identities and perspectives. To achieve these goals, we believe in investing in resources and integrating DEI strategies into our business efforts and priorities versus treating them solely as a standalone objective. Several of our key activities are highlighted below:

•

Continued with the observance of a Canadian company-wide holiday for the Day of Truth and Recognition as a part of Canada’s overall initiatives towards Indigenous Reconciliation.

​

•

Maintained a U.S. company-wide holiday in recognition of both Martin Luther King Day and Juneteenth.

​

•

Advanced a recognition day calendar for historically excluded groups with dates including, among others, Lunar New Year, Juneteenth, World Mental Health Day, Diwali and the Indigenous People’s Day.

​

•

Trained all Human Resource team members on how to manage bias in hiring.

​

•

Increased diversity in our job candidate pipeline by partnering with job boards and with external recruiting firms.

​

•

Integrated tools to mitigate bias into year-end review, our talent review processes and our annual merit program.

​

We actively seek opportunities to enhance our DEI strategy through a variety of initiatives. We are investing time, resources and leadership engagement to achieve our desired results and achieve meaningful progress. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Company has five directors, two of whom are women, representing 40% of Board membership. Other than women on our Board, none of the current directors are from any of the other “designated groups” ​(as defined in the Employment Equity Act (Ontario)), namely members of visible minorities, Indigenous peoples and persons with disabilities (collectively, the “Designated Groups”). One of the directors is part of the LGBTQ+ community. As of the Record Date, two of the Company’s named executive officers, as such term is defined by the SEC and Canadian National Instrument 51-102 – Continuous Disclosure Obligations, are women, each of whom is a visible minority. None of the executive officers are from any of the other Designated Groups. As of the Record Date, three of the Company’s seven leadership committee members are women, two of whom are visible minorities. None of the leadership committee members are from any other Designated Groups.

Ethical Business Conduct

The Board is responsible for promoting an ethical business culture and fostering an environment that places an emphasis on compliance. The Board monitors compliance, including through receipt by the Audit Committee, of reports of unethical behavior.

The Board has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code”) for directors, officers (including our CEO, CFO and principal accounting officer), employees and applicable third parties conducting work for or on behalf of the Company. The Code may be accessed on the Company’s website at www.canopygrowth.com/code-of-business-conduct-and-ethics/. The Code clearly defines how individuals working for or on behalf of the Company are expected to conduct themselves while representing the Company. Significant efforts are made to ensure all employees fully understand their responsibilities under the Code through training, leadership communications, certification requirements and awareness initiatives.

28

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Directors, officers, employees and consultants are responsible for reporting situations of non-compliance with respect to breaches of law, regulation or company policy, including the Code, or other concerns related to ethics and business conduct of which they become aware to the Chair of the Board, CEO, Corporate Secretary or outside legal counsel or in accordance with the Company’s Whistleblower Policy. If any person chooses to remain anonymous, every effort is made by the Company to respect such a request.

The Company has a strict no retaliation policy for anyone who reports a violation in good faith, regardless of the accuracy of such a report. Furthermore, any allegation of reprisal is fully investigated by the Company.

The Board has also adopted a Whistleblower Protection Policy which establishes procedures for: (i) the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by the Company regarding accounting, auditing and other financial matters (collectively, “Accounting Irregularities”), any illegal acts or violations of the Code or any other policy of the Company, or applicable laws and regulations (collectively, “Wrongdoings”); and (ii) the submission by employees, officers and directors of the Company, on a confidential and anonymous basis, of concerns regarding any Accounting Irregularities and Wrongdoings.

The Board has also adopted a Disclosure Policy to ensure, among other things: (i) that the Company complies with timely disclosure obligations under securities laws and the regulations of the stock exchanges on which the Company’s securities are listed; (ii) that the Company prevents material misrepresentations made to the public; (iii) that the Company prevents the selective disclosure of “material information” ​(as defined in the Disclosure Policy); (iv) that prompt corrected disclosure is made by the Company, if material information is undisclosed or if material misrepresentations are known to have been made publicly; and (v) that all communications to the public are informative, timely, factual, balanced, accurate and broadly disseminated.

The Board has also adopted an Insider Trading Policy to ensure, among other things: (i) that persons to whom the policy applies understand their obligations to preserve the confidentiality of undisclosed “Material Information” ​(as defined in the Insider Trading Policy); (ii) strict compliance by all insiders with all requirements relating to the reporting of insider trading and with respect to trading when in possession of undisclosed “Material Information”; and (iii) that individuals subject to scheduled and unscheduled blackout periods adhere to the restrictions on trading as set out in the Insider Trading Policy and (iv) preclearance request procedures for Reporting Insiders (as defined in the Insider Trading Policy) and post trading reporting procedures for Reporting Insiders required to file reports under Section 16 of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Company seeks to discourage its employees from frequent buying and selling of securities for the purpose of realizing short-term profits and to acquire securities as long-term investments only.

Board and Committee Assessment

The Board is committed to regular assessments of its own effectiveness and that of its committees. The CGCN Committee is responsible for coordinating periodic assessments of the effectiveness of the Board, the Audit Committee and the CGCN Committee. Annually, the CGCN Committee makes recommendations to the Board regarding the process to be followed and the issues to be explored.

The Board addresses items raised both through the assessment process and through informal feedback as warranted. In Fiscal 2025, the Board has continued to expand its exposure to members of management, further enhanced its focus on key topics of strategic concern to the Company, and continued to develop its knowledge of the Company’s business functions through various presentations and discussions from internal business groups. The Board conducted a formal assessment of its own effectiveness and that of its committees during Fiscal 2025 which was completed on March 31, 2025. The Board concluded that committee and Board meetings are efficient and effective.

Orientation and Continuing Education

The CGCN Committee ensures that newly elected directors and committee members receive effective and comprehensive orientation, and that all directors are provided continuing education opportunities, both to maintain and enhance their skills and abilities as directors and, as applicable, committee members, and to ensure their knowledge and understanding of the Company’s business remains current.

Through its onboarding program, new directors are given the opportunity to meet with members of management to review the budget, forecast and strategic plan for the Company, as well as key corporate projects. When circumstances permit, a new director shall participate in a site tour of the Company’s operating facilities and of the retail stores carrying our products and receive an overview of the past year of activities, the competitive landscape and insight into distribution channels.

In order to ensure that directors are knowledgeable in subjects related to the discharge of their duties as well as cannabis industry trends, the Company has addressed continuing education in its Corporate Governance Guidelines, which provide, among other things, that each director is expected to be involved in continuing director education on an ongoing basis to enable him or her to better perform his or her duties and to recognize and deal appropriately with issues that arise in connection therewith. The Board has adopted a Continuing Education Policy, which provides that the CGCN Committee will present the directors, from time to time throughout each fiscal year, with a variety of continuing education opportunities. The CGCN Committee may also invite external legal counsel and other external advisors of the Company to present at Board meetings on topics and trends facing companies in the cannabis industry. In addition, directors have access to the Company’s in-house and external legal counsel in the event of any questions or matters relating to their corporate and director responsibilities and to keep themselves current with changes in legislation. In Fiscal 2025, the Board was offered four education sessions, one of which was presented by external advisors and three were presented by various Company business units. These included a session on director fiduciary duties (Canada and the US), changes to the U.S. cannabis regulatory roadmap, and international cannabis landscape and regulatory changes, changes in vaping legislation and risk in Australia, as well as an in depth review of the innovation pipeline and relevant market competitors of Storz and Bickel. Sessions were held in-person and virtually and the majority were attended by all members of the Board.

These continuing education opportunities are in addition to any presentations by management or other Company employees on the Company’s ongoing operations either at Board meetings or organized separately.

The Board’s Continuing Education Policy is administered by the CGCN Committee and reviewed on an annual basis and revised as necessary.

Director Term Limits and Other Mechanisms of Board Renewals

The Board has not adopted director term limits, other than pursuant to the Director Retirement Age Policy, as further described below, or formal mechanisms of Board renewal as it believes that the imposition of such limitations on a Board implicitly discounts the value of experience and continuity amongst the Board members and runs the risk of excluding experienced and potentially valuable Board members as a result of an arbitrary determination. Instead, the CGCN Committee reviews the Board’s composition on a regular basis and has established criteria for its directors based upon the Company’s current and projected needs in accordance with an identified skills matrix. In order to ensure that the interests of directors are fully aligned with those of the Company, directors shall be required to retire from the Board at the age of 75 in accordance with the Company’s Mandatory Director Retirement Age Policy. One year prior to a given director attaining the age of 75, the CGCN Committee will begin the process of identifying a suitable replacement for the retiring director. In exceptional circumstances, the CGCN Committee may recommend to the Board to exempt a director from the application of the Mandatory Director Retirement Age Policy.

Anti-Hedging & Insider Trading Policy

Pursuant to the Company’s Insider Trading Policy, the executive officers and directors are not permitted to enter into any transaction that has the direct or indirect effect of offsetting the economic value (hedging) of any interest in any security of the Company. This includes the purchase of financial instruments such as variable prepaid forward contracts, equity swaps, collars or units of exchange funds that are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in the market value of securities. To the Company’s knowledge, no executive officer or director of the Company has entered into any such transaction or purchased such a financial instrument.

32

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Board has also adopted an Insider Trading Policy to ensure, among other things: (i) that persons to whom the policy applies understand their obligations to preserve the confidentiality of undisclosed “Material Information” ​(as defined in the Insider Trading Policy); (ii) strict compliance by all insiders with all requirements relating to the reporting of insider trading and with respect to trading when in possession of undisclosed “Material Information”; (iii) that individuals subject to scheduled and unscheduled blackout periods adhere to the restrictions on trading as set out in the policy; and (iv) preclearance request procedures for Reporting Insiders (as defined in the Insider Trading Policy) and post trading reporting procedures for Reporting Insiders required to file reports under Section 16 of the Exchange Act. The Company seeks to discourage its employees from frequent buying and selling of securities for the purpose of realizing short term profits and to acquire securities as long term investments only. For greater detail on the insider trading policy please refer to the website at www.canopygrowth.com/investors/governance/articles-bylaws-policies/.

Succession Plan

In accordance with the Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Company has adopted a succession plan in order to lessen disruption and provide direction in the event of an extended absence or departure of the CEO or another member of executive management. By outlining the strategic direction of the Company, integrating strategies and embedding accountability, the succession plan is designed to ensure a smooth transition across the Company. The succession plan includes specific strategies for addressing either a short-term, long-term, or permanent absence of the CEO or other member of the executive management team. It is the responsibility of the CGCN Committee, in consultation with the executive management team and the Chief Human Resources Officer (“CHRO”), to suggest further mechanisms to minimize the impact of unforeseen absences or vacancies in key roles and to ultimately make a recommendation to the Board to fill the vacancy. Pursuant to the Corporate Governance Guidelines, the CGCN Committee is required to annually review and report to the Board on succession planning, which must include emergency CEO succession, CEO succession in the ordinary course and succession for other members of the senior management team.

Share Ownership Guidelines

For the purpose of strengthening the alignment of the interests of the Company’s executive officers and non-employee directors with those of the other Shareholders, the Company approved written Share Ownership Guidelines (the “Guidelines”) and reviews the Guidelines annually. In accordance with the Guidelines, executive officers as well as certain other members of senior management are expected to hold share interests valued at the multiples of annual base salary by the end of an initial five-year accumulation period, beginning on the later of (i) the date of approval of the Guidelines; or (ii) the date on which the Guidelines become applicable to a given director or officer following their appointment to such position, and to maintain such an ownership level thereafter. The following details the Guidelines are applicable to the following officer positions held as of March 31, 2025:

​	Title	​	​	Guidelines	​
​	Chief Executive Officer	​	​	five times base salary	​
​	Chief Financial Officer	​	​	three times base salary	​
​	Chief Legal Officer	​	​	three times base salary	​

Directors are expected to hold share interests valued at two-and-a-half times their annual cash board retainer by the end of an initial five-year accumulation period and to maintain such an ownership level thereafter. For purposes of the Guidelines, share interests include, among other things, Shares, restricted stock and RSUs.

In instances where an officer or director has not achieved the Share ownership level established by the Guidelines within the initial five-year accumulation period, the CGCN Committee will review the matter with such officer or director to determine an appropriate remedy in light of the principles of these Guidelines. The CGCN Committee will annually review and assess the adequacy of the Guidelines and adopt any changes it deems necessary.

CEO Transition

Leadership Transition Overview

Luc Mongeau’s appointment as CEO of Canopy Growth was officially announced on November 26, 2024, marking the culmination of a thorough and strategic search process to identify a successor to David Klein. Mr. Klein’s planned retirement, announced in August 2024, prompted the Board to initiate the selection process. The Board reaffirmed its confidence in the Company’s direction, selecting Mr. Mongeau as the ideal successor due to his extensive leadership experience, particularly within the CPG industry. Mr. Mongeau’s appointment as CEO became effective on January 6, 2025.

Mr. Mongeau brings more than 25 years of senior leadership experience, having previously served as CEO of a leading North American e-commerce provider in the furniture sector and held prominent roles as President of Weston Foods and Mars Petcare North America. His career is characterized by a strong track record of operational excellence, business transformation, and profitability enhancement. Mr. Mongeau’s involvement with Canopy Growth dates back to early 2023, when he first joined as a Board observer, later becoming a Board member in February 2024. This prior engagement has allowed Mr. Mongeau to familiarize himself with Canopy Growth’s strategy and operations, positioning him to seamlessly step into the CEO role.

Mr. Klein’s departure was voluntary, as he transitions into retirement. Under Mr. Klein’s leadership, Canopy Growth underwent significant transformation, implementing an asset-light business model and launching Canopy USA. Beginning January 6, 2025, and continuing through August 31, 2025, Mr. Klein

TABLE OF CONTENTS

serves the Board in a Special Advisor capacity, where he remains available to provide strategic guidance and mentorship to Mr. Mongeau on an as-needed basis. While no longer involved in the day-to-day operations of the Company, Mr. Klein’s engagement during this period is intended to support a smooth leadership transition and provide continuity on key strategic matters when required.

Strategic Rational for CEO Succession

The selection of Luc Mongeau as CEO reflects a careful alignment with Canopy Growth’s strategic priorities. Mr. Mongeau’s expertise in leading complex organizations through transformation, particularly in CPG and digital commerce, makes him well-suited to drive Canopy Growth’s continued expansion and focus on profitability. His leadership roles at eSolutions Furniture Inc., Weston Foods, and Mars Petcare North America demonstrate his ability to scale businesses, manage large teams, and execute strategic initiatives that drive operational efficiency.

Mr. Mongeau’s priorities include leveraging Canopy Growth’s position in the global cannabis market focusing on sustainable profitability in the global medical cannabis market as well as the Canadian adult use market. The leadership transition was part of a planned succession, not a broader organizational restructuring.

Compensation Adjustments & Philosophy

Luc Mongeau’s compensation package was designed to reflect both market benchmarks and the unique dynamics of the cannabis industry, which remains volatile. Mr. Mongeau’s total compensation consists of a base salary of C$975,000, a short-term incentive (“STI”) bonus of 100% of his earned and received base salary (the “Mongeau Target Amount”), and a long-term incentive (“LTI”) award of 300% of his base salary, with 50% in stock options (“Options”) and 50% in restricted stock units (“RSUs”). For Fiscal 2025, Mr. Mongeau’s Target STI ranged from 0-2x the Target Award based on the achievement of certain mutually developed financial/operational/strategic and individual performance objectives, which have been approved by the CGCN Committee. For Fiscal 2025, Mr. Mongeau’s STI amount was pro-rated from his start date through the end of Fiscal 2025. While this compensation deviates slightly from the prior CEO’s compensation package, it is reflective of the new organizational size, while maintaining a focus on aligning pay with performance.

As part of the CEO transition, Mr. Mongeau received a sign-on grant of 225,000 Options and 50,000 RSUs on February 11, 2025, following the end of the Company’s quarterly financial blackout period. This grant is designed to incentivize long-term value creation and align Mr. Mongeau’s interests with those of Shareholders. Such grant is separate from, and in addition to, Mr. Mongeau’s annual LTI award, which will be granted at the same time as LTI awards to our other executive officers and employees.

D. Klein (Former CEO) Compensation Updates

For Fiscal 2025, prior to the retirement decision, Mr. Klein approached the CGCN Committee with recommendations to align his compensation package to reflect the Company’s size, scale and market capitalization. These adjustments reflect ongoing efforts to optimize executive compensation structures that are in line with corporate objectives, market conditions, and Shareholder interests.

Effective June 8, 2024, Mr. Klein’s base salary was adjusted from US$975,000 to US$750,000 aligning Mr. Klein’s base salary to the 50th percentile of our U.S. based peer population. Mr. Klein’s annual STI target of 125% and LTI target of 400% will be calculated against his new base salary. This overall reduction in compensation aligns with the Company’s compensation philosophy disclosed above and is aimed at ensuring competitiveness in the executive compensation landscape while prudently managing cash costs.

In Fiscal 2025, in addition to the LTI award that Mr. Klein was entitled to under the Klein Agreement (as defined below), Mr. Klein received a one-time equity grant valued at US$500,000 divided equally between Options and RSUs, with both the Options vesting in full one year from the grant date on June 10, 2025, while the RSUs vest in full on June 15, 2025, in alignment with the Company’s standard RSU vesting schedule.

39

TABLE OF CONTENTS

As announced on August 16, 2024, Mr. Klein intended to retire at the end of the fiscal year but remained as CEO until Mr. Mongeau commenced serving as CEO on January 6, 2025. Upon commencement of Mr. Mongeau’s service as CEO, Mr. Klein transitioned into the title of Special Advisor to the Board. Mr. Klein continued to receive his compensation entitlements through March 31, 2025. During the period of April 1, 2025 – August 31, 2025, Mr. Klein will be paid a monthly stipend of US$5,000. Upon retirement on August 31, 2025, all outstanding equity awards granted to Mr. Klein by the Company will be forfeited in accordance with the terms of the Omnibus Incentive Plan.

Fiscal 2025 Named Executive Officer Retention Awards

As previously disclosed, on August 19, 2024, the Board approved cash retention awards for Ms. Hong, former Chief Financial Officer and Dr. Gedeon, Chief Legal Officer, in the amount of US$150,000 each. These retention awards were intended to ensure leadership continuity and organizational stability during the Company’s CEO transition. In the case of Dr. Gedeon her retention award is payable on October 1, 2025, and in connection with Ms. Hong’s departure from the Company, Ms. Hong’s retention award was paid on July 15, 2025. These awards reflect the Board’s recognition of the critical contributions of both executives in guiding the Company through a period of strategic and operational change.

Board & CGCN Committee Transition Oversight

The Board and the CGCN Committee played an integral role in the CEO succession process, overseeing the transition to ensure that it aligned with Canopy Growth’s long-term strategic goals. The Board regularly reviews the Company’s leadership pipeline and talent development to ensure readiness for succession in key executive roles.

In partnership with an external executive search firm, the Board and the CGCN Committee established clear selection criteria, evaluating both internal and external candidates against the Company’s strategic objectives. This process included detailed interviews, assessments, and benchmarking to ensure the chosen candidate had the necessary leadership capabilities to lead Canopy Growth through its next phase of growth.

The CGCN Committee, with input from third-party external compensation consultant, Mercer, designed a market-competitive compensation package for Mr. Mongeau, ensuring it was aligned with both the Company’s strategic priorities and Shareholder expectations. This included a balanced mix of base salary, performance-based short-term incentives, and equity compensation to encourage long-term growth.

The Board and the CGCN Committee remain deeply engaged in the transition process, working closely with Mr. Mongeau to ensure alignment with the Company’s performance goals and strategic objectives. They continue to monitor Mr. Mongeau’s integration into the role, ensuring that Shareholder interests are upheld and leadership stability is maintained throughout the transition period.

Objectives and General Principles of the Compensation Program

The Company’s compensation philosophy is based on attracting, retaining and motivating employees with incentives aligned with corporate strategic objectives and the interests of Shareholders, while effectively managing risk and broader stakeholder considerations. The Company believes that an effective compensation program, founded on the following principles, is key to building long-term shareholder value:

40

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Target Pay Positioning

For NEOs, total target direct compensation is set by reference to the 50th percentile of relevant publicly-traded peers, weighted more heavily towards long-term equity-based compensation. Positioning will depend upon the role, responsibilities, experience, and contributions of each NEO, as well as the comparability to the peer incumbents, which may deviate slightly from the 50th percentile based on informed judgment. Recognizing that the Company is a North American organization with senior executives located in both Canada and the United States, the dual peer group approach (the Canadian Consumer-Focused Group and the U.S. CPG and Pharmaceutical Group) is used for benchmarking and target setting purposes to reflect competitive pay levels in both jurisdictions, as appropriate.

Annual Oversight of Compensation

Role of the CGCN Committee

The CGCN Committee is responsible for overseeing executive compensation, including the annual review and approval of NEO compensation. For CEO compensation, the CGCN Committee works with its independent compensation advisor, Mercer, and is supported by the Company’s CHRO, to develop and approve compensation decisions. For all other NEOs and senior officers, the CGCN Committee reviews and approves recommendations provided by the CEO and CHRO. The CGCN Committee also reviews various aspects of the Company’s compensation programs and makes determinations on changes to incentive plan design, as appropriate.

Fiscal 2025 Policies & Practices Related to the Grant of Certain Equity Awards

At its regularly scheduled annual meeting, the CGCN Committee approved equity awards for each individual executive officer, in alignment with their respective employment agreements. In accordance with our Omnibus Incentive Plan, these annual equity awards are issued upon the exit of our fourth quarter

41

TABLE OF CONTENTS

financial blackout period, which occurs two trading days after the annual earnings call. The valuation of these awards are calculated based upon the fair market value definition as prescribed in our Omnibus Incentive Plan. The CGCN Committee does not grant equity awards in anticipation of the release of material nonpublic information (“MNPI”), and the Company does not time the release of MNPI based upon grant dates of equity. In the event MNPI becomes known to the CGCN Committee before granting an equity award, the CGCN Committee will consider such information and use its business judgment to determine whether to delay the grant of equity to avoid any appearance of impropriety.

Role of the Compensation Consultant

The CGCN Committee continued their engagement of Mercer, to provide independent advice on executive compensation, including the alignment of Canopy Growth’s compensation policies and practices with its executive compensation philosophy and related governance matters. The nature and scope of services provided by Mercer to the CGCN Committee during Fiscal 2025 included the review, support, and advice on:

•

The Company’s compensation philosophy

​

•

The review of Canopy Growth’s peer group

​

•

Compensation levels for Canopy Growth’s NEOs and other executive roles and the Board

​

•

Short-Term Incentive Plan metrics, weightings, and target setting

​

•

Long-Term Incentive Plan mix of vehicles and related performance metrics

​

•

Compensation disclosure and other governance matters

​

•

Management-prepared materials and recommendations in advance of CGCN Committee meetings

​

•

Attendance at CGCN Committee meetings as requested

​

The CGCN Committee considers, among other information, the advice provided by Mercer in making its executive compensation decisions; however, it may or may not follow Mercer’s advice in making such decisions.

Any other services, not related to executive or director compensation, and recommendations provided by Mercer or its affiliates to the Company require approval from the Chair of the CGCN Committee. The CGCN Committee has considered the independence of Mercer and has not identified any conflicts of interests regarding their services or employees.

Role of CEO and CHRO

The CEO and CHRO support the CGCN Committee in fulfilling its executive compensation oversight responsibilities. The CEO and CHRO provide recommendations to the CGCN Committee on compensation decisions for all NEOs and senior executive officers, other than the CEO. The CHRO also provides information, analysis, and guidance to the CGCN Committee and responds to questions to assist in the CGCN Committee’s evaluation of compensation programs and decisions.

Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as the reported net loss, adjusted to exclude income tax recovery (expense); other income (expense), net; loss on equity method investments; share-based compensation expense; depreciation and amortization expense; asset impairment and restructuring costs; and charges related to the flow-through of inventory step-up on business combinations, and further adjusted to remove acquisition-related costs. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure used by management that is not defined by U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.

​

A significant portion of our NEOs’ compensation is variable and linked to performance against short-term financial and individual objectives, as well as Share price performance and long-term financial objectives. The following charts illustrate our CEO’s Fiscal 2025 target total direct compensation (“TDC”) mix.

Base Salary

Base salary forms the foundation for attracting and retaining top talent while ensuring competitiveness with the market. Base salaries are determined based on market rates for similar positions and each executive’s expected contribution and past performance.

For all NEOs other than the CEO, the CEO and the CHRO develop salary recommendations based on: (i) approved benchmarking provided by the Company’s independent compensation consultant (Mercer) and (ii) market survey data. CEO base salary decisions are developed by the CGCN Committee with input from Mercer and the CHRO, and are informed by the approved benchmarking data. All senior executive base salaries, including the salary of the CEO, are reviewed and approved by the CGCN Committee.

As outlined above under the heading, “D. Klein (Former CEO) Compensation Updates”, effective June 8, 2024, Mr. Klein’s base salary was modified from US$975,000 to US$750,000, in efforts to align his compensation package to reflect the Company’s size, scale and market capitalization.

Upon the effective date of his appointment as CEO, Mr. Mongeau’s base salary was set at C$975,000, which is in line with the reduced base salary of his predecessor, Mr. Klein. This reflects continued efforts to align executive compensation with market benchmarks while ensuring competitive pay within the cannabis and CPG sectors.

For Fiscal 2025, the CGCN Committee decided upon 0% base pay adjustments for the remaining NEOs. This decision reflected the Company’s continued focus on aligning executive compensation with broader financial discipline.

For NEOs compensated in Canadian dollars, base salary is presented in C$. U.S. dollar equivalents can be converted using the average exchange rate of C$1.00 = US$0.6951 for Fiscal 2025, and C$1.00 = US$0.7386 for Fiscal 2024, as set forth above under “Executive Compensation – Currency Conversion.”

​

(2)

Effective June 8, 2024, Mr. Klein’s base salary was adjusted from US$975,000 to US$750,000, aligning with the 50th percentile of our U.S.-based peer group. This adjustment was disclosed in the Fiscal 2024 CD&A. Effective April 1, 2025, Mr. Klein’s salary has decreased to US$5,000 per month (US$60,000 annually) as part of his employment agreement through August 31, 2025.

​

Short-Term Incentives

All NEOs who were employed by the Company at the end of Fiscal 2025, participated in the Company’s short-term incentive plan (the “STIP”) which provides an annual cash incentive based on performance relative to defined financial and individual objectives. The STIP is a leveraged bonus design, where executives may earn between 0% and 200% of the target bonus opportunity (“target”), which is defined as a percentage of base salary for each executive.

Plan Design

For our NEOs, the STIP is linked to a combination of corporate financial and individual objectives and is structured as follows:

Fiscal 2025 Target Award Levels

Under the STIP, and pursuant to their respective employment agreements, each NEO has a target award expressed as a percentage of base salary. Payouts are based on the achievement of overall Company performance relative to pre-established qualitative and quantitative objectives. NEOs may receive no payout for performance at or below threshold level, and a maximum payout of 200% of target for performance at or above maximum objectives.

As part of the leadership transition, the target short-term incentive opportunity for the CEO position has been reduced from 125% to 100% of base salary. This adjustment reflects a more conservative pay approach in response to the Company’s evolving business environment and increased focus on profitability. This modification underscores Canopy Growth’s commitment to aligning executive compensation with the new business size, managing costs, and maintaining a competitive yet disciplined incentive structure.

Fiscal 2025 STIP Performance Criteria & Results

Per the Company’s STIP initially adopted by the Board for the Company’s fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 (“Fiscal 2021”), the performance of the Company’s executive leadership team, including the NEOs, was assessed based on predetermined criteria that were established and approved by the CGCN Committee at the beginning of the fiscal year. For Fiscal 2025, all NEOs were assessed against corporate and financial objectives, which were recommended and approved by the CGCN Committee. These objectives were weighted as outlined in the table below.

In Fiscal 2025, the CGCN Committee approved a performance-based bonus for our NEOs, totaling 77.6% of the target. This outcome reflects both underperformance against financial metrics and superior performance on corporate objectives. Specifically, the Company achieved 17.6% of the Revenue target and 29.3% of the Adjusted EBITDA target, which were impacted by broader industry headwinds and continued market volatility. Despite these financial challenges, the Company delivered on key corporate priorities.

The corporate objectives established and certified by the CGCN Committee as having been achieved at a superior level which included cash management, new product development, and sourcing of product internationally. These priorities were designed to drive long-term sustainability and align operations with the Company’s strategic plan. The executive teams’ performance in these areas was critical to maintaining operational discipline, fostering innovation, and positioning the Company for future growth.

Although the financial metrics fell below target, the approved STIP payout reflects a balanced view of performance across all metrics, recognizes the executive team’s strategic contributions during a complex fiscal year, and supports ongoing talent retention and alignment with shareholder interests.

Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as the reported net loss, adjusted to exclude income tax recovery (expense); other income (expense), net; loss on equity method investments; share-based compensation expense; depreciation and amortization expense; asset impairment and restructuring costs; and charges related to the flow-through of inventory step-up on business combinations, and further adjusted to remove acquisition-related costs. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure used by management that is not defined by U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.

​

​

​

​

​

​

RSUs

​

​

​

Options

​

​

​

​

Purpose

​

​

​

• RSUs represent compensation to incentivize executives to achieve long-term objectives of the Company, to retain executives, as well as to align executives’ interests with those of Shareholders ​

​

​

​

• Options represent compensation that is intended to align executives’ interests with those of Shareholders by providing executives with the opportunity to become Shareholders ​ • These are considered entirely “at risk” because the value of Options rises (and may fall) in conjunction with the market price of Shares where the change in Share prices is deemed an indirect measure of overall performance by the Company and the execution on key performance metrics by the Company’s employees and executives ​

​

​

​

​

Form of Award

​

​

​

• RSUs represent notional Shares that track the value of the Canopy Shares as of the vesting date, based on the TSX in prior years and, beginning in Fiscal 2025, based on the Nasdaq ​

​

​

​

• A holder of vested Options may acquire Shares at the exercise price established on the date of grant, which is equal to the closing price of the Shares on the applicable stock exchange on which the Shares traded as of the date of grant ​ • Beginning in Fiscal 2025, newly granted Options are priced and tracked based on the closing price of the Shares on the Nasdaq ​

Vesting

​

​

​

• Historically, RSUs generally vested on the first, second, and third anniversaries of the grant date, with one-third of the granted RSUs vesting on each date. ​ • Beginning in Fiscal 2025, the Company transitioned to a standardized vesting approach for annual equity grants, with RSUs vesting in equal one-third installments on June 15th of the first, second, and third year following the grant date ​

​

​

​

• Options vest on the first, second, and third anniversaries of the date of the grant, with one third of the number of granted Options vesting on each date ​

​

​

​

​

Settlement

​

​

​

• RSUs will, at the CGCN Committee’s discretion, be settled in Shares purchased from the open market, or in Shares issued from treasury ​

​

​

​

• The value of a vested Option is the difference between its exercise price and the closing price of the Shares on the applicable stock exchange on which the Shares are traded on the date prior to exercise ​ • Beginning in Fiscal 2025, newly granted Options are priced and tracked based on the value of the Shares as listed on the NASDAQ. All Options are settled in Shares issued from treasury ​

​

​

Fiscal 2023 PSU Awards

PSUs were last awarded to NEOs at the start of Fiscal 2023. No new PSUs were awarded in this Fiscal year and PSUs are no longer part of our LTI program.

The vesting of PSUs which were awarded in Fiscal 2023 are based on: (i) Relative TSR (50% weight) against a custom group of cannabis industry peers approved by the Board; and (ii) Adjusted EBITDA performance (50% weight) against predetermined targets established at the beginning of the fiscal year, as recommended and approved by the CGCN Committee.

PSUs provide compensation that is conditional on the achievement of pre-determined, multi-year performance criteria. The number of PSUs that vest is moderated higher or lower based on performance related to (i) Canopy Growth’s Relative TSR versus a custom cannabis industry peer group and (ii) absolute Adjusted EBITDA objectives.

For each of the Relative TSR and Adjusted EBITDA metric, performance is measured using an “umbrella” approach, whereby both annual performance (20% weighting per year) and three-year cumulative performance (40% weighting) are measured independently to determine overall PSU vesting at the end of the three-year performance period.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The following table sets forth the cannabis industry peers against which Canopy Growth’s Relative TSR is measured for the purposes of the Fiscal 2023 PSU awards. Also outlined below is the assessment framework used to measure Relative TSR performance.

Fiscal 2025 | Long Term Incentive Award Grant Issuance

All NEOs who were employed by the Company at the start of Fiscal 2025 participated in the Company’s LTIP. Initially adopted by the Board for Fiscal 2021 and further amended September of 2023, the Company’s leadership team, including the NEOs, receive annual LTI grants.

As specified above in the section “D. Klein (Former CEO) Compensation Updates”, for Fiscal 2025, Mr. Klein’s annual grant consisted of 75% Options and 25% RSUs, while his one-time equity award reflected 50% Options and 50% RSUs. Both awards were granted on June 10, 2024.

Ms. Hong and Dr. Gedeon’s annual grants consisted of 50% Options and 50% RSUs, and were granted on June 10, 2024.

Mr. Mongeau was granted 14,360 RSUs on June 10, 2024 in alignment with his compensation package for serving on the Board. These RSU awards vest in equal tranches on the last trading day of the fiscal quarter.

As part of the Mongeau Agreement, for assuming the role of CEO, Mr. Mongeau was granted a sign-on award of 225,000 Options (exercise price of US$2.43) and 50,000 RSUs on February 11, 2025, following the end of the Company’s quarterly financial blackout period. These awards vest in equal one-third installments on the first, second, and third anniversaries of the grant date, being February 11, 2026, 2027, and 2028.

The following table shows the LTI awards granted to our NEOs for Fiscal 2025.

In Fiscal 2025, Mr. Klein received a one-time equity grant valued at US$500,000, divided equally between Options and RSUs. The Options vest in full one year from the grant date, while the RSUs vest in full on June 15, 2025.

​

Each of the Options granted has a six-year term, subject to earlier termination upon the occurrence of certain events related to termination of employment, as specified in the form of option agreement pursuant to which the Options were granted (the “Option Grant Agreement”). One-third of the Options become exercisable on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of grant, subject to the terms of the Option Grant Agreement. The exercise price of each Option granted on June 10, 2024 is US$7.59.

RSUs granted on June 10, 2024 vest in equal one-third installments on June 15, 2025, 2026, and 2027.

Fiscal 2026 | Long Term Incentive Award Plan Design

For Fiscal 2026, the CGCN Committee approved maintaining the same annual grant percentages for NEOs (salary X accrual percentage).

However, as part of the CEO transition, the LTI target for the CEO role has been adjusted from 400% to 300% of salary, with an equal split between Stock Options (50%) and RSUs (50%), reflecting a more balanced approach to long-term incentives.

Peer Groups and Compensation Benchmarking

With the engagement of our executive compensation consultant Mercer, the CGCN Committee re-evaluated Canopy Growth’s publicly traded peer group in Fiscal 2023. We believe this peer group, with the adjustments noted below, reflects the current reality of Canopy Growth and the cannabis industry and the companies we compete with for talent.

In Fiscal 2023, the CGCN Committee approved the use of two distinct groups of publicly-traded peers to inform the setting of target total direct compensation levels for NEOs. The first group includes similarly-sized Canadian consumer-focused industry comparators, including cannabis companies, while the second group includes similarly-sized U.S. CPG and also includes companies in the cannabis industry. These groups include organizations that the Company would potentially compete with for talent. The criteria used to select the peer group are as follows:

•

Publicly traded company,

​

•

Market capitalization between approximately 1/3 and 3 times that of the Company at the time of the review in early Fiscal 2023 (with the Company positioned at or near median), and

​

•

Operating within the consumer discretionary, consumer staples or pharmaceuticals industries.

Effective April 1, 2024, Beyond Meat, Inc. and Throne Health Tech, Inc. have been removed from the peer group. This adjustment reflects our commitment to maintaining a relevant and comparable peer group composition in line with evolving market dynamics.

​

In addition to its review of peer group executive compensation data, the CGCN Committee uses executive compensation survey data to supplement its review, and when insufficient peer group data is available for specific executive positions or as another means of performing a market check on executive compensation levels and practices. This information assists the CGCN Committee in making well-informed decisions regarding executive compensation matters.

Executive Compensation Risk Management

The CGCN Committee considers and assesses, as necessary, the implications of risks associated with the Company’s compensation policies and practices and devotes such time and resources as it believes are appropriate given the Company’s current stage of development. The Company’s practice during Fiscal 2025 of compensating its senior executives through a mix of base salary, short-term incentives and long-term incentives, provided under the Omnibus Incentive Plan, is designed to mitigate risk by: (i) ensuring that the Company retains such executives; and (ii) aligning the interests of its executives with the short-term and long-term objectives of the Company and its Shareholders. The CGCN Committee monitors the Company’s compensation practices and policies at least annually and more often as may be required to deal with issues that arise between annual reviews. During Fiscal 2025, the CGCN Committee did not identify any significant risks arising from the Company’s compensation policies and practices that the CGCN Committee believed were reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

52

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The table below outlines key elements of the Company’s compensation risk management framework:

​	Risk Mitigating Compensation Practices	​
​	• Conduct an annual review of the Company’s compensation practices to ensure that the Company compensates its key employees appropriately to retain executives with critical skills. ​	​
​	• Deliver a significant majority of each executive’s compensation through “at-risk” instruments that create a clear link between pay and performance, align executive interests with those of Shareholders and help incentivize executives to drive Shareholder value. ​	​
​	• Defer a significant portion of each executive’s compensation through the application of multi-year time vesting conditions on long-term incentive equity awards. Options and RSUs vest over three years. ​	​
​	• Cap annual short-term incentive payouts to discourage excessive risk-taking. ​	​
​	• Adopt guidelines regarding share ownership for the CEO and other NEOs set at five times annual base salary for the CEO and at three times annual base salary for the rest of the NEOs. ​	​
​	• Have trading guidelines that restrict executives and directors from entering into transactions that have the direct or indirect effect of offsetting (hedging) the economic benefits of owning Company securities. ​	​
​	• Hold an annual say-on-pay advisory vote which provides Shareholders with a mechanism to share their views on the Company’s executive pay practices. ​	​
​	• Receive independent, third-party advice directly from an external compensation consultant. ​	​
​	• Maintain a clawback policy, outlined in the Omnibus Incentive Plan, whereby the Board may require the reimbursement, reduction or cancellation of an award for (i) failing to comply with any obligation to the Company; (ii) termination for cause; (iii) conduct that causes material financial or reputational harm to the Company or its affiliates; (iv) willful misconduct, gross negligence or fraud; or (v) restatement of its financial statements resulting in negative impacts to the Company’s financial results. In addition, the Board adopted a standalone clawback policy that provides for the recoupment of certain executive compensation in the event of an accounting restatement resulting from material noncompliance with financial reporting requirements under U.S. federal securities laws. In Fiscal 2025, an updated version of the standalone clawback policy was adopted by the Board that included a transition period in the event the Company changes its fiscal year and clarified language regarding the method of recouping incentive-based compensation and other recoupment rights, including providing discretion to the Board on enforcement of the policy. ​	​

Results of Fiscal 2024 Say-On-Pay Vote

Canopy Growth’s compensation program for its executive management team is designed to drive Shareholder value and to effectively attract and retain talent. Each year, we conduct a Shareholder advisory vote to approve the compensation of our NEOs as disclosed in our proxy statement for our annual meeting of shareholders (a “say-on-pay” vote). At our 2024 Annual General Meeting, our Shareholders approved our NEO compensation at that time, with approximately 79.45% of the votes cast voting in favor of approval. Given these results, the CGCN Committee has decided to retain our overall approach to executive compensation while continuing to evaluate our practices frequently, including in response to future say-on-pay votes. The CGCN Committee continues to monitor further stakeholder feedback, Company performance, and market developments for potential further improvements to the Company’s compensation structure for executive officers.

Performance Graph

The following performance graph illustrates the Company’s cumulative Shareholder return assuming reinvestment of dividends, by comparing a C$100 investment in the Shares beginning April 1, 2020 to the return on the S&P/TSX Composite Index and the Horizons Marijuana Life Sciences Index ETF.

Since April 1, 2020, the Share price performance declined because of considerable volatility in the cannabis sector resulting from a multitude of factors, including, among others, the multiple attempts in the U.S. to reschedule cannabis from a Schedule I substance to a Schedule III substance under the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. § 811), significant price compression across core products in both adult-use and international medical supply, rising energy costs contributed to increased operating costs, depressing margins. Relative stock underperformance was even more pronounced given the recent election of the Trump administration and their uncertain position on cannabis rescheduling as well as prices of commodities remaining high when compared to April 1, 2020, supporting the S&P TSX performance. Continued capital requirements through the issuance of additional common shares has further affected the relative underperformance which has continued throughout Fiscal 2025.

While our Share price has been volatile due in part to the evolving state of the cannabis industry, our executive compensation remains competitive as we aim to attract and retain an experienced executive team whose compensation is tied to a variety of metrics including long-term profit improvement and Share price appreciation. Executive compensation for Fiscal 2025 remains aligned with financial performance and the Shareholder experience to the end of Fiscal 2025, evidenced by a significant decrease in realizable equity compensation held by executives. For further discussion on this point, please refer above to “PSU Metric Details and Certification Results”.

As CEO, Mr. Klein reported to the Board and, effective June 8, 2024, was entitled to a base salary of US$750,000 (or approximately C$1,015,435) per year, subject to review by the CGCN Committee on an annual basis, and an annual perquisite allowance of C$125,000 (or approximately US$99,700).

Mr. Klein was eligible for a short-term annual incentive performance bonus of 125% of base salary (the “Klein Target Amount”), with a payout range of up to two times the Klein Target Amount based upon the achievement of certain mutually developed financial, operational, strategic and individual performance objectives approved by the CGCN Committee.

Mr. Klein was also entitled to participate in the Omnibus Incentive Plan. Pursuant to the Klein Agreement, Mr. Klein was eligible to receive an annual long-term award grant equal to 400% of his base salary (using the fair market value of the Shares on the date of grant), which may be comprised of Options, RSUs, PSUs and/or any other form of equity authorized by the Omnibus Incentive Plan. The CGCN Committee, in its sole discretion, could determine the ratio of the various forms of equity that Mr. Klein was entitled to receive pursuant to the Omnibus Incentive Plan. In Fiscal 2025, Mr. Klein received a one-time equity grant valued at US$500,000 divided equally between Options and RSUs, with both the Options and the RSUs each vesting one year from the grant date.

Pursuant to the Klein Agreement, Mr. Klein received a grant of Options on December 6, 2019, equal to C$20,000,000 (or approximately US$15,952,000 using the fair market value of the Options on the date of grant, based on the closing price of the Shares on December 6, 2019) (the “Klein Inducement Grant”). The Company granted Mr. Klein Options to purchase 161,812 Shares at an exercise price of C$247.20 (US$186.50) per Share pursuant to the Klein Inducement Grant.

The Klein Inducement Grant vests on the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of grant, subject to meeting the following conditions: (a) 33.5% of the Options will vest only if during any 90-day period during the term of the Klein Inducement Grant, the average closing Share price on the TSX has appreciated by a minimum of 50% from the date of grant; (b) 33.5% of the Options will vest only if as at the end of any fiscal year during the term of the Klein Inducement Grant, audited annual revenue of C$2.5 billion (or approximately US$2.0 billion) is achieved by the Company for such fiscal year, as confirmed by the auditors of the Company; and (c) 33% of the Options will vest only if as at the end of any fiscal year during the term of the Klein Inducement Grant, a C$100 million (or approximately US$80 million) CAET (as defined below) is achieved by the Company for such fiscal year, as confirmed by the auditors of the Company. The Options granted under the Klein Inducement Grant have a six-year term.

“CAET” means for any fiscal year of the Company, Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) for such fiscal year further adjusted to remove any individual non-core market with negative Adjusted EBITDA outside of the Company’s core markets, which for greater certainty, for the purposes of the Klein Agreement, are Canada, UK, Spain, Denmark, Chile and Brazil, as long as the negative Adjusted EBITDA is in-line with the Board approved plan for such removed market.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

“Adjusted EBITDA” means, for any fiscal year of the Company, earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization of the Company as set forth in the financial statements for the Company for such fiscal year then ended, adjusted to exclude share-based compensation expense, acquisition related costs including stock based compensation, and other non-cash items pursuant to past practices and approved by the Audit Committee.

The Company was able to terminate the Klein Agreement at any time for reasons other than cause or willful misconduct by providing (a) a lump sum payment equal to $1,950,000; (b) 2.5 times the average actual amounts paid as a short-term annual incentive performance bonus during the prior two years; (c) any statutory severance pay that may be required pursuant to the ESA; (d) the continuation of benefits for a period of two years from the date of termination (it being understood that a payment will be made equal to the premium cost for any such benefits that cannot be continued); (e) the vesting of any outstanding PSUs, at actual performance levels, for all years already certified by the Board or any responsible committee thereof; and (f) any other statutorily prescribed benefit. As a condition to receiving any payments which exceed the statutory entitlements upon termination without cause, Mr. Klein will be required to execute a release in favor of the Company.

The Klein Agreement contains certain non-competition and non-solicitation provisions in favor of the Company for a period of 12 months following the termination of the Klein Agreement effective August 31, 2025.

As discussed above, effective January 6, 2025, Mr. Klein transitioned into the title of Special Advisor to the Board. Under this arrangement, Mr. Klein continued to receive his base salary, perquisite allowance, and was eligible to receive a Fiscal 2025 short-term incentive bonus through March 31, 2025. From April 1 through August 31, 2025, Mr. Klein will receive a monthly stipend of US$5,000. During this time, his outstanding equity awards will continue to vest in accordance with their original terms; however, he will not receive any new equity grants.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Notes:

(1)

Unless otherwise indicated, with respect to all outstanding equity awards held by the NEOs as of March 31, 2025, Options vest in equal one-third installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date, subject to the continued employment of the respective NEO. PSUs follow a three-year cliff vesting schedule, with 100% of the earned award vesting and being released on the third anniversary of the grant date, subject to the achievement of applicable performance conditions and continued employment. RSUs granted in Fiscal 2025, unless otherwise specified, vest in equal one-third installments on June 15 of each of the first three years following the grant date, in alignment with the Company’s standardized vesting approach.

​

(2)

The market value of the unvested stock awards is calculated by multiplying the number of unvested Shares held by the applicable NEO by the closing price of the Shares on March 31, 2025 (the last trading day of Fiscal 2025) on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, which was US$0.91 or on the TSX, which was C$1.33. Awards granted prior to Fiscal 2025 were issued in C$; therefore, these values can be converted into US$ utilizing the Fiscal 2025 average exchange rate of C$1.00 to US$0.6951, as set forth above under “Executive Compensation – Currency Conversion.”

​

(3)

These Options will vest on the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of grant, subject to meeting the following conditions: (a) 33.5% of the Options will vest only if during any 90-day period during the term of the Klein Inducement Grant, the average closing Share price on the TSX has appreciated by a minimum of 50% from the date of grant; (b) 33.5% of the Options will vest only if as at the end of any fiscal year during the term of the Klein Inducement Grant, audited annual revenue of C$2.5 billion (or approximately US$2.0 billion) is achieved by the Company for such fiscal year, as confirmed by the auditors of the Company; and (c) 33% of the Options will vest only if as at the end of any fiscal year during the term of the Klein Inducement Grant, a C$100 million (or approximately US$80 million) CAET is achieved by the Company for such fiscal year, as confirmed by the auditors of the Company.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control

A narrative description of the individual payments the Company is currently required to make upon termination or a change in control of the Company is described above under “Employment Agreements”.

Potential Payments Upon Termination Without Cause

As outlined in the section titled “D. Klein (Former CEO) Compensation Updates”, Mr. Klein announced his intention to retire at the end of Fiscal 2025 and remained in his role as Chief Executive Officer until January 6, 2025, when Mr. Mongeau commenced service as CEO. Upon this leadership transition, Mr. Klein assumed the role of Special Advisor to the Board.

63

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Mr. Klein continued to receive his full compensation entitlements through March 31, 2025. For the period of April 1, 2025, through August 31, 2025, Mr. Klein will receive a monthly stipend of US$5,000 in connection with his advisory responsibilities. As the transition was not considered a termination for cause or without cause, no severance or accelerated vesting provisions were triggered. Mr. Klein is not entitled to any payments upon his termination, other than amounts due to him in his role as Special Advisor to the Board.

As outlined above, on July 9, 2025, Ms. Hong was terminated from the Company “without cause” under the terms of the Hong Agreement. Subject to Ms. Hong’s compliance with the terms of the Hong Agreement including Ms. Hong’s entry into the Hong Separation Agreement, Ms. Hong is entitled to payment in the amount of $1,168,643 representing 18 months base salary plus one and a half times the average actual amounts paid as short-term annual incentive performance bonuses to Ms. Hong during the prior two years. Ms. Hong was also entitled to payment of her retention bonus of US$150,000 pursuant to the retention agreement entered into with the Company on August 19, 2024, which was paid on July 15, 2025. Pursuant to her Separation Agreement, Ms. Hong is also entitled to a payout of unused accrued vacation pay in the amount of US$15,522, which was paid on July 15, 2025. In addition, if Ms. Hong elects to continue coverage under the Company’s medical plan pursuant to the COBRA, a reimbursement to Ms. Hong for a portion of COBRA premium payments may be required.

The following table sets forth the estimated payments and benefits to each of our NEOs (other than Ms. Hong, whose termination payments are discussed above) in the event of a termination without cause, assuming such termination occurred on March 31, 2025, and there was no change-in-control, based on the terms of their respective employment agreements in effect as of that date:

Notes:

(1)

Upon termination without cause effective March 31, 2025, Mr. Mongeau would have been entitled to a payment in the amount of $1,081,749, representing 18 months base salary plus one and a half times the average actual amounts paid as short-term annual incentive performance bonus to Mr. Mongeau during the prior two years, as well as five weeks of statutorily prescribed vacation time. As Mr. Mongeau was appointed CEO in January 2025 and had not received STI payments in the prior two years, the STI component of this severance estimate is $0 in accordance with the terms of his employment agreement.

​

(2)

Upon termination without cause effective March 31, 2025, Dr. Gedeon would have been entitled to a payment in the amount of $1,049,352, representing 18 months base salary plus one and a half times the average actual amounts paid as short-term annual incentive performance bonuses to Dr. Gedeon during the prior two years, as well as two weeks of statutorily prescribed vacation time, as well as a $150,000 retention award.

​

(3)

Upon termination without cause effective March 31, 2025, any unvested PSUs at actual performance levels, for all years already certified by the Board or any responsible committee thereof, held by Dr. Gedeon immediately vest. The value was calculated based on the closing price of the Shares on March 28, 2025 (the last trading day of Fiscal 2025) on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, which was US$0.91.

​

(4)

As of March 31, 2025, Mr. Mongeau, and Dr. Gedeon are participants in Canopy Growth’s benefits plan. Upon termination without cause effective March 31, 2025, Mr. Mongeau and Dr. Gedeon would receive the statutorily prescribed benefits as set forth in the ESA.

​

Subject to the specific terms of the NEOs’ respective employment agreements, upon a termination of the NEO without cause, Options, RSUs and other Awards (as defined below) will be treated in accordance with the terms of the Omnibus Incentive Plan.

Potential Payments Upon Termination Following a Change in Control

None of the NEOs are entitled to a payment upon a change of control pursuant to the terms of their respective employment agreements. However, pursuant to the terms of Omnibus Incentive Plan, for a period

64

TABLE OF CONTENTS

of 18 months following a Change in Control (as defined in the Omnibus Incentive Plan), where a participant’s employment or term of office or engagement is terminated for any reason, other than for Cause (as defined in the Omnibus Incentive Plan): (i) any unvested awards as at the date of such termination shall be deemed to have vested, and any period of restriction shall be deemed to have lapsed, as at the date of such termination and shall become payable as at the date of termination; and (ii) the level of achievement of performance goals for any unvested awards that are deemed to have vested pursuant to (i) above, shall be based on the actual performance achieved at the end of the applicable period immediately prior to the date of termination.

The table below shows the payments that would be made to our NEOs (other than Ms. Hong, whose termination payments are discussed above) upon each of their terminations within 18 months of a Change in Control. As noted above, Mr. Klein is not entitled to any payments upon his termination, other than amounts due to him in his role as Special Advisor to the Board. With the exception of the “Accelerated Awards ($)” and “Total ($)” columns, all amounts in the table below are the same as in the “Potential Payments Upon Termination” table above and all footnotes to the “Cash Payment ($)” and “Benefits ($)” columns of the “Potential Payments Upon Termination” table above apply equally to the corresponding columns in the table below.

Reflect unvested RSU, PSU, and Option awards, which will be deemed to have vested. PSUs reflect previous years actual certified achievement factors, while uncertified awards reflect on-target amounts. The value was calculated based on the closing price of the Shares on March 28, 2025 (the last trading day of Fiscal 2025) on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, which was US$0.91.

​

CEO Pay Ratio and Background

Set forth below is the annual total compensation of our median employee, the annualized total compensation of our CEO, Mr. Mongeau, and the ratio of those two values. Given that Mr. Mongeau served as CEO for only a portion of Fiscal 2025, we have annualized his compensation to reflect what it would have been had he served in the role for the full fiscal year to provide a more accurate and comparable disclosure of the CEO pay ratio:

•

The Fiscal 2025 annual total compensation of the median employee of Canopy Growth (other than our CEO, Mr. Mongeau) was US$44,098 (or approximately C$63,441).

​

•

The Fiscal 2025 annualized total compensation of our CEO, Mr. Mongeau, was US$3,253,110 (or approximately C$4,680,060).

​

•

For Fiscal 2025, the ratio of the annualized total compensation of our CEO to the median annual total compensation of all our other employees was 73 to 1.

​

To determine the median employee, we used our global employee population as of March 31, 2025. Total compensation for this purpose was calculated using each employee’s annualized base salary, projected STI bonus, and the target value of LTI awards to be granted during the year, where applicable.

Amounts that were originally paid or recorded in Canadian dollars were converted to U.S. dollars using the Bloomberg average exchange rate of C$1.00 to US$0.6951 for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2025.

This pay ratio is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with SEC rules based on our payroll and employment records, pursuant to the methodology described above. The SEC rules for identifying the median employee and calculating the pay ratio based on that employee’s annual total compensation allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, to apply certain exclusions, and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their compensation practices. As such, the pay ratio reported by other companies

65

TABLE OF CONTENTS

may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported above, as other companies may have different employment and compensation practices and may use different methodologies, exclusions, estimates and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios.

Pay Versus Performance Table

The following table sets forth information concerning: (i) the compensation of our current CEO (Mr. Mongeau) our former CEO (Mr. Klein) and the average compensation for our other NEOs, both as reported in the Summary Compensation Table and with certain adjustments to reflect the “compensation actually paid” ​(“CAP”) to such individuals, as defined under SEC rules, for each of Fiscal 2021, fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 (“Fiscal 2022”), Fiscal 2023, Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2025; and (ii) our cumulative total shareholder return, (“TSR”), the cumulative TSR of our peer group (“Peer Group TSR”), net income and Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) over such years in accordance with SEC rules for each such fiscal year:

Terms of the Omnibus Incentive Plan

The Omnibus Incentive Plan is administered by the Board, unless the administration of the Omnibus Incentive Plan has been delegated by the Board to a committee or sub-delegated in accordance with the terms of the Omnibus Incentive Plan. The Board has delegated to the authority to administer the Omnibus Incentive Plan to the CGCN Committee(the “Plan Administrator”), and the Plan Administrator has sole and complete authority, in its discretion, to: (a) determine the individuals to whom grants under the Omnibus Incentive Plan may be made; (b) make grants of Options, RSUs, DSUs or share-based awards (collectively, the “Omnibus Incentive Plan Awards”, together with the Prior Awards (as defined below), the “Awards”) under the Omnibus Incentive Plan relating to the issuance of Shares (including any combination of Options, RSUs or DSUs); (c) establish the form or forms of Omnibus Incentive Plan Award agreements (an “Award Agreement”); (d) cancel, amend, adjust or otherwise change any Omnibus Incentive Plan Award under such circumstances as the Plan Administrator may consider appropriate in accordance with the provisions of the Omnibus Incentive Plan; (e) construe and interpret the Omnibus Incentive Plan and all Award Agreements; (f) adopt, amend, prescribe and rescind administrative guidelines and other rules and regulations relating to the Omnibus Incentive Plan; and (g) make all other determinations and take all other actions necessary or advisable for the implementation and administration of the Omnibus Incentive Plan. As of March 31, 2025, there were an aggregate of 13,377,930 Shares (representing approximately 7.3% of the issued and outstanding Shares) that were available for future grants based on the issued and outstanding Shares as of March 31, 2025.

Shares Subject to the Omnibus Incentive Plan

The Omnibus Incentive Plan, which is a “rolling” plan, provides that the aggregate number of Shares reserved for issuance from treasury pursuant to Omnibus Incentive Plan Awards granted under the Omnibus Incentive Plan may not exceed 10% of the Company’s total issued and outstanding Shares from time to time (including Shares reserved for issuance in respect of 2,891,463 Prior Awards outstanding under the Prior Omnibus Incentive Plan and in respect of any other Security Based Compensation Arrangement (as defined in the Omnibus Incentive Plan), such number being 23,984,922 as of the date of this Proxy Statement. The Omnibus Incentive Plan is considered an “evergreen” plan, since the Shares covered by Omnibus Incentive Plan Awards which have been settled, exercised or terminated will be available for subsequent grants under the Omnibus Incentive Plan and the number of Omnibus Incentive Plan Awards available to grant increases as the number of issued and outstanding Shares increases. Pursuant to Section 613 of the TSX Company Manual, unallocated options, rights or other entitlements under a security-based compensation arrangement which does not have a fixed maximum aggregate number of securities issuable must be approved by a majority of an issuer’s directors and by an issuer’s shareholders every three years and was previously approved by Shareholders on September 25, 2023.

Insider Participation Limit

The Omnibus Incentive Plan provides that the aggregate number of Shares: (a) issuable to Insiders (as defined in the Omnibus Incentive Plan) at any time, under all of the Company’s Security Based Compensation Arrangements, may not exceed 10% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Shares; and (b) issued to Insiders within any one-year period, under all of the Company’s Security Based Compensation Arrangements, may not exceed 10% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Shares.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Eligibility

All directors, employees and consultants will be eligible to participate in the Omnibus Incentive Plan, subject to certain limitations. Participation in the Omnibus Incentive Plan will be voluntary and eligibility to participate will not confer upon any director, employee or consultant any right to receive any grant of an Omnibus Incentive Plan Award pursuant to the Omnibus Incentive Plan. The extent to which any director, employee or consultant is entitled to receive a grant of an Omnibus Incentive Plan Award pursuant to the Omnibus Incentive Plan will be determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the Plan Administrator.

Types of Omnibus Incentive Plan Awards; Non-Transferability

Options, RSUs, DSUs and Share-Based Awards may be granted pursuant to the Omnibus Incentive Plan, as further summarized below. All of the Omnibus Incentive Plan Awards described below are subject to the conditions, limitations, restrictions, exercise price, vesting, settlement, and forfeiture provisions determined by the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, subject to such limitations provided in the Omnibus Incentive Plan and will generally be evidenced by an Award Agreement. In addition, subject to the limitations provided in the Omnibus Incentive Plan and in accordance with applicable law, the Plan Administrator may accelerate or defer the vesting or payment of Omnibus Incentive Plan Awards, cancel, or modify outstanding Omnibus Incentive Plan Awards, and waive any condition imposed with respect to Omnibus Incentive Plan Awards or Shares issued pursuant to Omnibus Incentive Plan Awards.

Except as permitted by the Plan Administrator and to the extent that certain rights may pass to a beneficiary or legal representative upon death of a Participant (as such term is defined in the Omnibus Incentive Plan), by will or as required by law, no assignment or transfer of Omnibus Incentive Plan Awards, whether voluntary, involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, will vest any interest or right in such Omnibus Incentive Plan Awards whatsoever in the assignee or transferee and immediately upon assignment or transfer, or any attempt to make the same, such Omnibus Incentive Plan Awards will terminate and be of no further force or effect.

Options

The Omnibus Incentive Plan provides that the Plan Administrator may, from time to time, subject to the provisions of the Omnibus Incentive Plan and such other terms and conditions as the Plan Administrator may prescribe, grant Options to any Participant. The terms and conditions of each Option grant will be evidenced by an Award Agreement. The Plan Administrator will establish the exercise price at the time each Option is granted, which Exercise Price must in all cases be not less than (a) if the Shares are trading on a U.S. stock exchange, the higher of (i) the volume weighted average trading price of Shares on such U.S. stock exchange for the five trading days ending on the last trading day immediately prior to the applicable date or (ii) the closing price of Shares on the U.S. stock exchange on the applicable date, and if such applicable date is not a trading day, the last market trading day prior to such date; (b) if the Shares are not trading on a U.S. stock exchange, but are listed on a Canadian stock exchange, the higher of (i) the volume weighted average trading price of the Shares on the Canadian stock exchange for the five trading days ending on the last trading day immediately prior to the applicable date or (ii) the closing price of the Shares on the Canadian stock exchange on the applicable date, and if such applicable date is not a trading day, the last market trading day prior to such date; (c) if the Shares are only listed on an over-the-counter market and sales prices are regularly reported for the Shares, the closing or, if not applicable, the last price of the Shares on the applicable date and if such applicable date is not a trading day, the last market trading day prior to such date; provided that if sales prices are not regularly reported on such over-the-counter market, the mean between the bid and the asked price for the Shares on the close of trading in the over-the-counter market for the most recent trading day on which the Shares were traded on the applicable date and if such applicable date is not a trading day, the last market trading day prior to such date; (d) if the Shares are neither listed on a U.S. stock exchange nor a Canadian stock exchange nor traded in the over-the-counter market, such value as the Plan Administrator, in good faith, shall determine in compliance with applicable laws (for the purposes of this section, the “Fair Market Value”). Subject to any accelerated termination as set forth in the Omnibus Incentive Plan, each Option will expire on the expiry date specified in the Award Agreement (which may not be later than the tenth anniversary of the date of grant) or, if not so specified, the tenth anniversary of the date of grant. The Plan Administrator will have the authority to determine the vesting terms applicable to grants of Options.

74

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Once an Option becomes vested, it will remain vested and will be exercisable until expiration or termination of the Option, unless otherwise specified by the Plan Administrator, or as may be otherwise set forth in any written employment agreement, Award Agreement or other written agreement between the Company or a Related Entity (as defined in the Omnibus Incentive Plan) and the Participant. Each Option may be exercised at any time or from time to time, in whole or in part, for up to the total number of Shares with respect to which it is then exercisable. The Plan Administrator has the right to accelerate the date upon which any Option becomes exercisable. The Plan Administrator may provide at the time of granting an Option that the exercise of that Option is subject to restrictions, in addition to those specified in the Omnibus Incentive Plan, such as vesting conditions relating to the attainment of specified Performance Goals (as defined in the Omnibus Incentive Plan).

Unless otherwise specified by the Plan Administrator at the time of granting an Option and set forth in the particular Award Agreement, the exercise notice must be accompanied by payment of the exercise price. Unless otherwise specified by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the particular Award Agreement, a Participant may, but only if permitted by the Plan Administrator, in lieu of exercising an Option pursuant to an exercise notice, elect to surrender such Option to the Company (a “Cashless Exercise”) in consideration for an amount from the Company equal to: (i) the Fair Market Value of the Shares issuable on the exercise of such Option (or portion thereof) as of the date such Option (or portion thereof) is exercised, less (ii) the aggregate exercise price of the Option (or portion thereof) surrendered relating to such Shares (the “In-the-Money Amount”), by written notice to the Company indicating the number of Options such participant wishes to exercise using the Cashless Exercise, and such other information that the Company may require. Subject to the provisions of the Omnibus Incentive Plan, the Company will satisfy payment of the In-the-Money Amount by delivering to the Participant such number of Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole number) having a fair market value equal to the In-the-Money Amount.

Restricted Share Units (RSUs)

The Omnibus Incentive Plan provides that the Plan Administrator may, from time to time, subject to the provisions of the Omnibus Incentive Plan and such other terms and conditions as the Plan Administrator may prescribe, grant RSUs to any Participant, including in respect of a bonus or similar payment in respect of services rendered by the applicable Participant in a taxation year. The terms and conditions of each RSU grant will be evidenced by an Award Agreement. Each RSU will consist of a right to receive a Share upon the settlement of such RSU.

The number of RSUs (including fractional RSUs) granted in respect of a bonus or similar payment at any particular time pursuant to the terms of the Omnibus Incentive Plan will be calculated by dividing: (i) the amount of any bonus or similar payment that is to be paid in RSUs, as determined by the Plan Administrator, by (ii) the greater of (A) the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant; and (B) such amount as determined by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion. Subject to the conditions in the Omnibus Incentive Plan, the Plan Administrator will have the authority to determine any vesting terms applicable to the grant of RSUs, including vesting conditions relating to the attainment of specified Performance Goals.

Subject to the terms of the Omnibus Incentive Plan and except as otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, on the settlement date for any RSU, the Participant will redeem each vested RSU for one fully paid and non-assessable Share issued from treasury to the Participant. The Plan Administrator will have the sole authority to determine any other settlement terms applicable to the grant of RSUs.

Deferred Share Units (DSUs)

The Omnibus Incentive Plan provides that a portion of the Director Fees (as defined in the Omnibus Incentive Plan) may be payable in the form of DSUs. In addition, each Electing Person (as defined in the Omnibus Incentive Plan) will be given, subject to the conditions stated in the Omnibus Incentive Plan, the right to elect to participate in the grant of additional DSUs. An Electing Person who elects to participate in the grant of additional DSUs will receive their Elected Amount, being an amount, as elected by the Director (as defined in the Omnibus Incentive Plan), in accordance with applicable tax law, between 0% and 100% of any Director Fees that would otherwise be paid in cash, in the form of DSUs. Each Electing Person who elects to receive their Elected Amount in the form of DSUs will be required to file an Election Notice (as defined in the Omnibus Incentive Plan) with the CFO of the Company: (i) in the case of an existing Electing Person, by

75

TABLE OF CONTENTS

December 31st in the year prior to the year to which such election is to apply; and (ii) in the case of a newly appointed Electing Person who is not a U.S. Taxpayer (as defined in the Omnibus Incentive Plan), within 30 days of such appointment with respect to compensation paid for services to be performed after such date.

The number of DSUs (including fractional DSUs) granted at any particular time pursuant to the terms of the Omnibus Incentive Plan will be calculated by dividing: (i) the amount of Director Fees that are to be paid as DSUs, as determined by the Plan Administrator or Director Fees that are to be paid in DSUs (including any Elected Amount), by (ii) the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant. In addition to the foregoing, the Plan Administrator may, from time to time, subject to the provisions of this Plan and such other terms and conditions as the Plan Administrator may prescribe, grant DSUs to any Participant. Except as otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator or as set forth in the particular Award Agreement, DSUs will vest immediately upon grant.

On the settlement date for any DSU, the Participant will redeem each vested DSU for: (i) one fully paid and non-assessable Share issued from treasury to the Participant or as the Participant may direct; or (ii) at the election of the Participant and subject to the approval of the Plan Administrator, a cash payment. Any cash payments made pursuant to the terms of the Omnibus Incentive Plan by the Corporation to a Participant in respect of DSUs to be redeemed for cash will be calculated by multiplying the number of DSUs to be redeemed for cash by the Fair Market Value per Share as at the settlement date.

Share-Based Awards

The Omnibus Incentive Plan provides that the Plan Administrator may grant other types of equity-based or equity-related Omnibus Incentive Plan Awards (including the grant or offer for sale of unrestricted Shares) in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions, including, but not limited to, being subject to performance criteria, or in satisfaction of such obligations, as the Plan Administrator may determine. Such awards may involve the issuance of actual Shares to Participants, or payment in cash or otherwise of amounts based on the value of Shares. To the extent an Omnibus Incentive Plan Award is settled in cash, settlement must occur no later than December 31 of the third calendar year following the calendar year in which the date of grant occurs in respect of the relevant Award Agreement.

Dividend Equivalents

The Omnibus Incentive Plan provides that unless otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator or as set forth in the particular Award Agreement, an award of RSUs and DSUs will include the right for such RSUs and DSUs to be credited with dividend equivalents in the form of additional RSUs and DSUs, respectively, as of each dividend payment date in respect of which normal cash dividends are paid on Shares. Such dividend equivalents will be computed by dividing: (i) the amount obtained by multiplying the amount of the dividend declared and paid per Share by the number of RSUs and DSUs, as applicable, held by the Participant on the record date for the payment of such dividend, by (ii) the Fair Market Value at the close of the first business day immediately following the dividend record date, with fractions computed to three decimal places. Dividend equivalents credited to a Participant’s account will vest in proportion to the RSUs and DSUs to which they relate and will be settled in accordance with the terms of the Omnibus Incentive Plan.

Blackout Periods

Pursuant to the terms of the Omnibus Incentive Plan, in the event an Omnibus Incentive Plan Award expires or vests at a time when a scheduled blackout is in place or an undisclosed material change or material fact in the affairs of the Company exists, the expiry or settlement of such award will be delayed (in a manner and to the extent such delay complies with Section 409A of the Revenue Code with respect to any U.S. Taxpayer) until the earlier of: (i) the date that is two business days after which such scheduled blackout terminates; or (ii) there is no longer such undisclosed material change or material fact.

Termination of Employment or Services

Subject to the terms of the Omnibus Incentive Plan, unless otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator or as set forth in an employment agreement, Award Agreement or other written agreement:

76

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(a)

where a Participant’s employment, consulting agreement or arrangement is terminated by the Company or a Related Entity for Cause (as defined in the Omnibus Incentive Plan), then any Option or other Omnibus Incentive Plan Award held by the Participant that has not been exercised, surrendered or settled as of the Termination Date (as defined in the Omnibus Incentive Plan) shall be immediately forfeited and cancelled as of the Termination Date;

​

(b)

where a Participant’s employment, consulting agreement or arrangement is terminated by the Company or a Related Entity without Cause (whether such termination occurs with or without any or adequate reasonable notice, or with or without any or adequate compensation in lieu of such reasonable notice), or by reason of resignation by the Participant, or on account of his or her becoming Disabled (as defined in the Omnibus Incentive Plan), or by reason of the death of the Participant, there will be no further vesting of any unvested Options or other Omnibus Incentive Plan Awards after the Termination Date;

​

(c)

a Participant’s eligibility to receive further grants of Options or other Omnibus Incentive Plan Awards ceases as of:

​

(i)

the Termination Date; or

​

(ii)

the date of the death of the Participant;

​

(d)

unless the Plan Administrator, in its discretion, otherwise determines, at any time and from time to time, Options or other Omnibus Incentive Plan Awards will not be affected by a change of employment or consulting agreement or arrangement, a directorship within or among the Company or a Related Entity for so long as the Participant continues to be a Director, Employee (as defined in the Omnibus Incentive Plan) or Consultant (as defined in the Omnibus Incentive Plan), as applicable, of the Company or a Related Entity; and

​

(e)

except as otherwise provided in an applicable Award Agreement or employment agreement, and notwithstanding any other provision of the Omnibus Incentive Plan, in the case of an Omnibus Incentive Plan Awards (other than an Option or DSU) that is granted to a U.S. Taxpayer and that becomes vested (in whole or in part) pursuant to the terms of the Omnibus Incentive Plan upon the Participant’s Termination Date, such Omnibus Incentive Plan Award will, subject to the terms of the Omnibus Incentive Plan, be settled as soon as administratively practicable following the Participant’s Termination Date but in no event later than 90 days following the Participant’s Termination Date, provided that if such Omnibus Incentive Plan Award is an RSU, settlement will occur no later than March 15th of the year following the year of the applicable vesting event.

​

Change in Control

The Omnibus Incentive Plan provides that except as may be set forth in an employment agreement, Award Agreement or other written agreement between the Company or a Related Entity and a Participant:

(a)

Subject to the terms and conditions in the Omnibus Incentive Plan, the Plan Administrator may, without the consent of any Participant, take such steps as it deems necessary or desirable, including to cause: (i) the conversion or exchange of any outstanding Omnibus Incentive Plan Awards into or for, rights or other securities of substantially equivalent value, as determined by the Plan Administrator in its discretion, in any entity participating in or resulting from a Change in Control (as defined below), (ii) outstanding Omnibus Incentive Plan Awards to vest and become exercisable, realizable, or payable, or restrictions applicable to an Omnibus Incentive Plan Award to lapse, in whole or in part prior to or upon consummation of such merger or Change in Control, and, to the extent the Plan Administrator determines, terminate upon or immediately prior to the effectiveness of such merger or Change in Control, (iii) the termination of an Omnibus Incentive Plan Award in exchange for an amount of cash and/or property, if any, equal to the amount that would have been attained upon the exercise or settlement of such Omnibus Incentive Plan Award or realization of the Participant’s rights as of the date of the occurrence of the transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, if as of the date of the occurrence

​

77

TABLE OF CONTENTS

of the transaction the Plan Administrator determines in good faith that no amount would have been attained upon the exercise or settlement of such Omnibus Incentive Plan Award or realization of the Participant’s rights, then such Omnibus Incentive Plan Award may be terminated by the Company without payment), (iv) the replacement of such Omnibus Incentive Plan Award with other rights or property selected by the Board in its sole discretion where such replacement would not adversely affect the holder, or (v) any combination of the foregoing. The Plan Administrator will not be required to treat all Omnibus Incentive Plan Awards similarly in the transaction.

(b)

If the Participant is an executive officer or director of the Company, within 18 months following the completion of a transaction resulting in a Change in Control, a Participant’s employment or directorship is terminated by the Corporation or a Related Entity without Cause:

​

(i)

any unvested Omnibus Incentive Plan Awards held by such Participant at the Termination Date shall immediately vest, with any Omnibus Incentive Plan Awards that vest based on Performance Goals vesting at their specified level of attainment; and

​

(ii)

any vested Omnibus Incentive Plan Awards of such Participants may be exercised, surrendered or settled by such Participant at any time during the period that terminates on the earlier of: (A) the expiry date of such Omnibus Incentive Plan Award; and (B) the date that is three months after the Termination Date, provided that any vested Omnibus Incentive Plan Awards (other than Options) granted to U.S. Taxpayers will be settled within 90 days of the Participant’s Termination Date, provided that if such Omnibus Incentive Plan Award is an RSU, settlement will occur no later than March 15th of the year following the year of the applicable vesting event. Any Omnibus Incentive Plan Award that has not been exercised, surrendered or settled at the end of such period will be immediately forfeited and cancelled.

​

(c)

Unless otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator, if, as a result of a Change in Control, the Shares will cease trading on the U.S. stock exchange, the Canadian stock exchange or any other exchange upon which the Shares may then be listed, then the Company may terminate all of the Omnibus Incentive Plan Awards, other than an Option held by a Canadian Taxpayer (as defined in the Omnibus Incentive Plan) for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada), granted under the Omnibus Incentive Plan at the time of and subject to the completion of the Change in Control transaction by paying to each holder at or within a reasonable period of time following completion of such Change in Control transaction an amount for each Omnibus Incentive Plan Award equal to the fair market value of the Omnibus Incentive Plan Award held by such Participant as determined by the Plan Administrator, acting reasonably, provided that any vested Omnibus Incentive Plan Awards granted to U.S. Taxpayers will be settled within 90 days of the Change in Control.

​

For purposes of the Omnibus Incentive Plan, “Change in Control” means the occurrence of: (i) any individual, entity or group of individuals or entities acting jointly or in concert (other than the Company, its affiliates or an employee benefit plan or trust maintained by the Company or its affiliates, or any company owned, directly or indirectly, by the Shareholders in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of Shares) acquiring beneficial ownership, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities (excluding any person who becomes such a beneficial owner in connection with a transaction described in clause (ii) of this definition; (ii) the consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity or any parent thereof) more than 50% of the combined voting power or the total fair market value of the securities of the Company or such surviving entity or any parent thereof outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, provided, however, that a merger or consolidation effected to implement a recapitalization of the Company (or similar transaction) in which no person (other than those covered by the exceptions in clause (i) of this definition) acquires more than 50% of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities will not constitute a Change in Control; or (iii) a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company or the consummation of any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of transactions) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, other than such

78

TABLE OF CONTENTS

liquidation, sale or disposition to a person or persons who beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the Company at the time of the sale). Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Omnibus Incentive Plan Award that is characterized as “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Revenue Code, an event will not be considered to be a Change in Control under the Omnibus Incentive Plan for purposes of payment of such Omnibus Incentive Plan Award unless such event constitutes a change in ownership or control of the Company, or a change in ownership of the Company’s within the meaning of Section 409A of the Revenue Code.

Amendments, Suspension or Termination of the Omnibus Incentive Plan

The Omnibus Incentive Plan will terminate on June 20, 2033, the date which is ten years from the date of its adoption by the Board. The Omnibus Incentive Plan may be terminated at an earlier date by vote of the Shareholders or the Board; provided, however, that any such earlier termination will not affect any Award Agreements executed prior to the effective date of such termination. Termination of the Omnibus Incentive Plan will not affect any Omnibus Incentive Plan Awards theretofore granted. The Plan Administrator may from time to time, without notice, or upon notice in accordance with and limited to any applicable Employment Standards (as defined in the Omnibus Incentive Plan), and without approval of the Shareholders of the Company, amend, modify, change, suspend or terminate the Omnibus Incentive Plan or any Omnibus Incentive Plan Awards granted pursuant to the Omnibus Incentive Plan as it, in its discretion determines appropriate, provided, however, that:

(a)

no such amendment, modification, change, suspension or termination of the Omnibus Incentive Plan or any Omnibus Incentive Plan Awards granted thereunder may materially impair any rights of a Participant or materially increase any obligations of a Participant under the Omnibus Incentive Plan without the consent of the Participant, unless the Plan Administrator determines such adjustment is required or desirable in order to comply with any requirements under applicable securities laws or any requirements of the U.S. stock exchange or the Canadian stock exchange; and

​

(b)

any amendment that would cause an Omnibus Incentive Plan Award held by a U.S. Taxpayer to be subject to income inclusion under Section 409A of the Revenue Code will be null and void ab initio with respect to the U.S. Taxpayer unless the consent of the U.S. Taxpayer is obtained.

​

Amendments Requiring Shareholder Approval

The Omnibus Incentive Plan provides that Shareholder approval will be required for any amendment, modification or change that:

(a)

reduces the exercise price or purchase price of an Omnibus Incentive Plan Award benefiting an Insider of the Company;

​

(b)

extends the term of an Omnibus Incentive Plan Award benefiting an Insider of the Company;

​

(c)

increases the percentage or number of Shares reserved for issuance under the Omnibus Incentive Plan, except pursuant to the provisions under Article 10 of the Omnibus Incentive Plan, which permit the Plan Administrator to make equitable adjustments in the event of transactions affecting the Company or its capital;

​

(d)

increases or removes the 10% limits on Shares issuable or issued to Insiders;

​

(e)

reduces the exercise price of an Option award (for this purpose, a cancellation or termination of an Option award of a Participant prior to its expiry date for the purpose of reissuing an Option Award to the same Participant with a lower exercise price or any other action that is treated as a repricing under generally accepted accounting principles will be treated as an amendment to reduce the exercise price of an Option award), except pursuant to the provisions of the Omnibus Incentive Plan, which permit the Plan Administrator to make equitable adjustments in the event of transactions affecting the Company or its capital;

​

79

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(f)

extends the term of an Option award beyond the original expiry date (except where an expiry date would have fallen within a blackout period applicable to the Participant or within 10 business days following the expiry of such a blackout period);

​

(g)

permits an Option award to be exercisable beyond 10 years from its date of grant (except where an expiry date would have fallen within a blackout period of the Company);

​

(h)

permits Omnibus Incentive Plan Awards to be transferred to a person in circumstances other than those specified under Section 3.9 of the Omnibus Incentive Plan (Non-Transferability of Awards);

​

(i)

changes the eligible participants of the Plan; or

​

(j)

deletes or reduces the range of amendments which require approval of Shareholders under Section 12.2 of the Omnibus Incentive Plan (Shareholder Approval).

​

Permitted Amendments

The Omnibus Incentive Plan provides that the Plan Administrator may, without Shareholder approval, at any time or from time to time, amend the Omnibus Incentive Plan for the purposes of:

(a)

making any amendments to the general vesting provisions of each Omnibus Incentive Plan Award;

​

(b)

making any amendments to the provisions set out in Article 9 of the Omnibus Incentive Plan (Termination of Employment or Services);

​

(c)

making any amendments to add covenants of the Company for the protection of Participants, as the case may be, provided that the Plan Administrator shall be of the good faith opinion that such additions will not be prejudicial to the rights or interests of the Participants, as the case may be;

​

(d)

making any amendments not inconsistent with the Omnibus Incentive Plan as may be necessary or desirable with respect to matters or questions which, in the good faith opinion of the Plan Administrator, having in mind the best interests of the Participants, it may be expedient to make, including amendments that are desirable as a result of changes in law in any jurisdiction where a Participant resides, provided that the Plan Administrator shall be of the opinion that such amendments and modifications will not be prejudicial to the interests of the Participants; or

​

(e)

making such changes or corrections which, on the advice of counsel to the Company, are required for the purpose of curing or correcting any ambiguity or defect or inconsistent provision or clerical omission or mistake or manifest error, provided that the Plan Administrator shall be of the opinion that such changes or corrections will not be prejudicial to the rights and interests of the Participants.

​

Terms of the Prior Omnibus Incentive Plan

The following brief description of the material features of the Prior Omnibus Incentive Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms of the Prior Omnibus Incentive Plan. Pursuant to the Prior Omnibus Incentive Plan, the Company may issue Share-based long-term incentives. Any employee, officer, director, consultant or, subject to applicable securities laws, other advisor of, or any other individual who provides services to, the Company and/or its affiliates (“Company Personnel”), is eligible to receive awards of Options, stock appreciation rights (“Stock Appreciation Rights”), RSUs, DSUs, annual or long-term Performance Awards (as defined in the Prior Omnibus Incentive Plan) or other stock-based award under the Prior Omnibus Incentive Plan (collectively, the “Prior Awards”) .

Following the Omnibus Incentive Plan becoming effective and as of March 31, 2024, there were nil Shares reserved for future grants pursuant to the Prior Omnibus Incentive Plan.

The purpose of the Prior Omnibus Incentive Plan is to attract, retain and reward those employees, directors and other individuals who are expected to contribute significantly to the success of the Company

80

TABLE OF CONTENTS

and its affiliates, to incentivize such individuals to perform at the highest level, to strengthen the mutuality of interests between such individuals and the Company’s Shareholders and, in general, to further the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders.

The Prior Omnibus Incentive Plan is administered by the CGCN Committee; provided, however, with respect to any decision relating to an officer or director who is required to file reports pursuant to Section 16a-3 of the Exchange Act, any decision must be made solely by two or more members of the Board who are “Non-Employee Directors” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Pursuant to Section 613 of the TSX Company Manual, unallocated options, rights or other entitlements under a security-based compensation arrangement which does not have a fixed maximum aggregate number of securities issuable must be approved by a majority of an issuer’s directors and by an issuer’s shareholders every three years and was previously approved by Shareholders on September 21, 2020; however, since the Company does not intend to issue any additional Prior Awards under the Prior Omnibus Incentive Plan, such shareholder approval will not be required in connection with the Prior Omnibus Incentive Plan. Except as may be permitted by the CGCN Committee, as specifically provided in an agreement granting a Prior Award or as otherwise specifically provided by law, no Prior Award or other benefit payable under the Prior Omnibus Incentive Plan is transferable in any manner other than by will or the law of descent.

Shares Available for Prior Awards; Participation Limitations

The maximum number of Shares available for issuance under the Prior Omnibus Incentive Plan may not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding Shares, from time to time, when taken together with all other Security Based Compensation Arrangements (as defined in the Prior Omnibus Incentive Plan) of the Company. The ESPP and the Omnibus Incentive Plan are the Company’s only other Security Based Compensation Arrangement in Fiscal 2025; however, (i) since the effectiveness of the Omnibus Incentive Plan, the Company has not and does not intend to grant any additional Prior Awards pursuant to the Prior Omnibus Incentive Plan; and (ii) the ESPP concluded in August 2023 as all of the Shares available were purchased, and the Company does not intend to reinstate the ESPP. Prior to the Omnibus Incentive Plan become effective, if any Option, Stock Appreciation Right or other stock-based Awards granted under the Prior Omnibus Incentive Plan expired, terminated or was canceled for any reason without having been exercised in full, the number of Shares underlying any unexercised Prior Award would have again been available for the purpose of Prior Awards under the Prior Omnibus Incentive Plan.

The maximum number of Shares issuable pursuant to Prior Awards that may have been granted to a single participant under the Prior Omnibus Incentive Plan during any fiscal year is 1,000,000 Shares. In addition, the maximum number of Shares issuable to insiders under all Security Based Compensation Arrangements, at any time, may not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding Shares. Within any one-year period, the number of Shares issued to insiders under all Security Based Compensation Arrangements also may not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding Shares.

The maximum equity value of Options granted to a non-employee director within a one-year period may not exceed C$100,000 (or approximately US$79,760) and the maximum aggregate equity value of all Prior Awards that are eligible to be settled in Shares granted to a non-employee director within a one-year period pursuant to all Security Based Compensation Arrangements may not exceed C$150,000 (or approximately US$119,640).

In the event that a participant holds 20% or more of the issued and outstanding Shares, such participant may only have been granted Prior Awards that could be settled in cash. In addition, if the settlement of a Prior Award in Shares would cause the participant to hold 20% or more of the issued and outstanding Shares, such participant may only have been granted Prior Awards that could be settled in cash.

Change in Control

Subject to certain exceptions set out in the Prior Omnibus Incentive Plan, the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined below) will not result in the vesting of unvested Prior Awards nor the lapse of any period of restriction pertaining to any restricted stock or RSUs (“Unvested Awards”). Subject to the CGCN Committee reasonably determining otherwise, for the period of 24 months following a Change in Control,

81

TABLE OF CONTENTS

where a participant is terminated for any reason, other than for cause: (i) any Unvested Awards as at the date of such termination will be deemed to have vested, and any period of restriction will be deemed to have lapsed, as at the date of such termination and will become payable as at the date of termination; and (ii) the level of achievement of performance goals for any Unvested Awards that are deemed to have vested pursuant to (i) above, will be based on the actual performance achieved at the end of the applicable period immediately prior to the date of termination.

For purposes of the Prior Omnibus Incentive Plan, “Change in Control” means the occurrence of: (i) any individual, entity or group of individuals or entities acting jointly or in concert (other than the Company, its affiliates or an employee benefit plan or trust maintained by the Company or its affiliates, or any company owned, directly or indirectly, by the Shareholders in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of Shares) acquiring beneficial ownership, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities (excluding any person who becomes such a beneficial owner in connection with a transaction described in clause (ii); (ii) the consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company or any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company with any other Company, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity or any parent thereof) more than 30% of the combined voting power or the total fair market value of the securities of the Company or such surviving entity or any parent thereof outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, provided, however, that a merger or consolidation effected to implement a recapitalization of the Company (or similar transaction) in which no person (other than those covered by the exceptions in clause (i) of this definition) acquires more than 50% of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities will not constitute a Change in Control; or (iii) a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company or the consummation of any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of transactions) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, other than such liquidation, sale or disposition to a person or persons who beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 30% of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the Company at the time of the sale). Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Prior Award that is characterized as “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the US Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time (the “Revenue Code”), an event will not be considered to be a Change in Control under the Prior Omnibus Incentive Plan for purposes of payment of such Prior Award unless such event is also a “change in ownership,” a “change in effective control” or a “change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets” of the Company within the meaning of Section 409A of the Revenue Code.

Termination

Except as otherwise provided by the CGCN Committee in an agreement granting a Prior Award, (i) if a participant resigns or is terminated, only the portion of the Options that have vested and are exercisable at the date of any such resignation or termination may be exercised by the participant during the period ending 90 days after the date of resignation or termination, as applicable, after which period all Options granted under the Prior Omnibus Incentive Plan expire; and (ii) any Options granted under the Prior Omnibus Incentive Plan, whether vested or unvested, will expire immediately upon the participant being terminated for cause.

Amendment

Unless required in accordance with the policies of the TSX, the Board may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate the Prior Omnibus Incentive Plan and any outstanding Prior Awards granted thereunder, in whole or in part, at any time without notice to or approval by the Shareholders, provided that all material amendments to the Prior Omnibus Incentive Plan require the prior approval of Shareholders. In particular, the following amendments to the Prior Omnibus Incentive Plan require the prior approval of Shareholders: (i) an increase in the maximum number of Shares that may be made the subject of Awards under the Prior Omnibus Incentive Plan; (ii) any adjustment (other than as set out in the Prior Omnibus Incentive Plan) or amendment that reduces or would have the effect of reducing the exercise price of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right previously granted under the Prior Omnibus Incentive Plan, whether through amendment, cancellation or replacement grants, or other means (provided that, in such a case, insiders

of the Company who benefit from such amendment are not eligible to vote their Shares in respect of the approval); (iii) an increase in the limits on Prior Awards that may be granted to any participant under the Prior Omnibus Incentive Plan; (iv) an extension of the term of an outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Prior Omnibus Incentive Plan beyond the expiry date thereof; (v) permitting Options granted under the Prior Omnibus Incentive Plan to be transferrable other than for normal estate settlement purposes; and (vi) any amendment to the plan amendment provisions, subject to certain exceptions included in the Prior Omnibus Incentive Plan. The Nasdaq Rules have similar Shareholder approval requirements for material revisions to the Prior Omnibus Incentive Plan.

Options

The purchase price per Share under an Option granted under the Prior Omnibus Incentive Plan will be determined by the CGCN Committee; provided, however, that, subject to certain exceptions described in the Prior Omnibus Incentive Plan, such purchase price may not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Prior Omnibus Incentive Plan) of a Share on the date of grant of such Option. With the approval of the CGCN Committee, a participant may elect to exercise an Option granted under the Prior Omnibus Incentive Plan, in whole or in part, without payment of the aggregate Option price due on such exercise by electing to receive Shares equal in value to the difference between the Option price and the Fair Market Value on the date of exercise computed in accordance with the Prior Omnibus Incentive Plan.

Except as otherwise provided by the CGCN Committee in an agreement granting a Prior Award, Options granted under the Prior Omnibus Incentive Plan will vest over three-years on each anniversary of the date of the grant.

The term of each Option granted under the Prior Omnibus Incentive Plan will not exceed 10 years from the date of grant. Subject to certain exceptions set out in the Prior Omnibus Incentive Plan, if the term of an Option granted under the Prior Omnibus Incentive Plan would expire during, or within 10 business days of the expiration of a Blackout Period (as defined in the Prior Omnibus Incentive Plan), then the term of such Option will be extended to the close of business on the tenth business day following the expiration of the Blackout Period.

RSUs

Shares of restricted stock and RSUs granted under the Prior Omnibus Incentive Plan are subject to such restrictions as the CGCN Committee may impose (including, without limitation, any limitation on the right to receive any dividend or dividend equivalent or other rights). Such restrictions may lapse as the CGCN Committee may deem appropriate. No RSU granted under the Prior Omnibus Incentive Plan may vest later than three years after the date of grant. The CGCN Committee may in its discretion waive in whole or in part any or all restrictions with respect to Shares of restricted stock or RSUs granted under the Prior Omnibus Incentive Plan.

Performance Awards

The CGCN Committee was permitted to grant a Performance Award to a participant payable upon the attainment of specific performance goals. If the Performance Award is payable in cash, it may be paid upon the attainment of the relevant performance goals either in cash or in shares of restricted stock (based on the then current Fair Market Value of such Shares), as determined by the CGCN Committee.

Except as otherwise provided in an agreement granting a Prior Award, upon a participant’s termination, the Performance Award will vest or be forfeited in accordance with the terms and conditions established by the CGCN Committee at the time of the grant of the Performance Award.

The CGCN Committee may, at or after grant, due to such service, performance and/or such other factors or criteria, accelerate on a pro rata basis the vesting of all or any part of any Performance Award.

When Performance Awards become payable, a participant will be entitled to receive payment in cash, Shares of equivalent value, some combination thereof, or in any other form determined by the CGCN Committee at its sole discretion.

The CBI Group Investments

On November 2, 2017, Greenstar invested C$245 million (or approximately US$191 million, based on the foreign exchange rate as of the date of the transaction) in Canopy Growth in exchange for (i) 1,887,690 Shares; and (ii) 1,887,690 warrants exercisable at an exercise price per Share of C$129.783 (or approximately US$101.322) (the “Greenstar Warrants”).

In connection with our offering of senior notes of the Company due July 2023 (the “Canopy Notes”) pursuant to an indenture dated June 20, 2018, Greenstar purchased C$200 million (or approximately US$150 million) worth of Canopy Notes. Prior to the Company entering into a second supplemental indenture dated June 29, 2022, amending the terms of the Canopy Notes (the “Second Supplement”), the C$200 million principal amount of Canopy Notes held by Greenstar were convertible in certain circumstances and subject to certain conditions into an aggregate of 415,154 Shares. Pursuant to the Second Supplement, the Company irrevocably surrendered its right to settle the conversion of any Canopy Notes by the issuance of Shares or a combination of cash and Shares.

On November 1, 2018, CBG invested C$5.079 billion (or approximately US$3.877 billion, based on the foreign exchange rate as of the date of the transaction) in Canopy Growth in exchange for (i) 10,450,000 Shares at a price of C$486.00 (or approximately US$370.90, based on the foreign exchange rate as of the date of the transaction) per Share, and (ii) 13,974,545 warrants (the “CBG Warrants”), of which 8,847,286 CBG Warrants (the “Original Tranche A Warrants”) had an exercise price of C$504.00 (or approximately US$385.20) and were exercisable until November 1, 2021 and the remaining 5,127,259 CBG Warrants (the “Original Tranche B Warrants”) had an exercise price per Share based on the five-day volume weighted average

TABLE OF CONTENTS

price of the Shares on the TSX at the time of exercise and were to become immediately exercisable only following the exercise of the Original Tranche A Warrants.

On April 18, 2019, CBG, Greenstar and Canopy Growth entered into the second amended and restated investor rights agreement (the “Amended Investor Rights Agreement”), which amended the first amended and restated investor rights agreement dated November 1, 2018 between CBG, Greenstar and Canopy Growth. In addition, on April 18, 2019, CBG and Canopy Growth entered into a consent agreement (the “Consent Agreement”). In connection with these agreements, on June 27, 2019 Canopy Growth also amended the terms of the Original Tranche A Warrants and the Original Tranche B Warrants as follows: (a) extended the term of the Original Tranche A Warrants to November 1, 2023 (the “Tranche A Warrants”) and, (b) replaced the Original Tranche B Warrants with two tranches of warrants (the “Tranche B Warrants” and the “Tranche C Warrants”) each of which were to vest and become exercisable once all Original Tranche A Warrants had been exercised and were exercisable until November 1, 2026, with different terms: the Tranche B Warrants were exercisable to acquire 3,845,444 million Shares at a price of C$766.80 (or approximately US$585.50) per Share and the Tranche C Warrants were exercisable to acquire 1,281,815 Shares at a price equal to the 5-day volume-weighted average price of the Shares immediately prior to exercise.

On May 1, 2020, the Greenstar Warrants were exercised for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately C$245 million (or approximately US$174 million, based on the foreign exchange rate as of the date of the transaction).

On June 29, 2022, Greenstar entered into an exchange agreement with the Company, pursuant to which Greenstar agreed to exchange C$100 million principal amount of the Canopy Notes for 2,924,546 Shares. The exchange was part of an exchange by the Company of an aggregate of approximately C$260 million principal amount of Canopy Notes held by Greenstar and certain other holders into Shares.

On October 24, 2022, CBG, Greenstar and the Company entered into the consent agreement (the “Third Consent Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, CBG was expected to surrender for cancellation the CBG Warrants.

On April 14, 2023, Greenstar entered into an exchange agreement with the Company pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase for cancellation the remaining C$100 million principal amount of Canopy Notes held by Greenstar in exchange for: (i) a cash payment to Greenstar in the amount of unpaid and accrued interest owing under the Canopy Notes held by Greenstar; and (ii) a promissory note (the “CBI Note”) issued to Greenstar in the aggregate principal amount of C$100 million payable on December 31, 2024. As a result, Greenstar no longer holds any Canopy Notes.

On November 1, 2023, the Tranche A Warrants expired in accordance with their terms without having been exercised. In accordance with the terms of the Tranche B Warrants and Tranche C Warrants, the vesting of the remaining Tranche B Warrants and Tranche C Warrants, as applicable, was conditioned on the exercise, in full, of the Tranche A Warrants. Accordingly, the Tranche B Warrants and Tranche C Warrants are not, and will not become, exercisable and are considered expired as of November 1, 2023.

Amended Investor Rights Agreement

As noted above, Canopy Growth and the CBG Group entered into the Amended Investor Rights Agreement pursuant to which the CBG Group had certain governance rights which are summarized below. In addition, on October 24, 2022, we entered into the Third Consent Agreement pursuant to which, we agreed, among other things, that following the conversion by CBG and Greenstar of their respective Shares into Exchangeable Shares, other than the Third Consent Agreement and the termination rights contained therein and the CBI Note held by Greenstar, all agreements between the Company and CBI, including the Amended Investor Rights Agreement, would be terminated.

Board Representation

Pursuant to the Amended Investor Rights Agreement, the CBI Group was entitled to designate four nominees for election or appointment to the Board for so long as the CBG Group held the Target Number of Shares (as defined in the Amended Investor Rights Agreement) (the “Nominee Rights”).

85

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Approval and Other Rights

The Amended Investor Rights Agreement provided that so long as the CBI Group continued to hold at least the Target Number of Shares, the Board would not: (i) propose or resolve to change the size of the Board, except where otherwise required by law, or with the consent of CBG; or (ii) present a slate of Board nominees to Shareholders for election that is greater than or fewer than seven directors.

Pursuant to the Amended Investor Rights Agreement, for so long as the CBI Group continued to hold at least the Target Number of Shares, the Company would not, without the prior written consent of CBG, among other things, (a) consolidate or merge into or with another person or enter into any other similar business combination, including pursuant to any amalgamation, arrangement, recapitalization or reorganization, other than a consolidation, merger or other similar business combination of any wholly-owned subsidiary or an amalgamation or arrangement involving a subsidiary with a another person in connection with a permitted acquisition; (b) acquire any shares or similar equity interests, instruments convertible into or exchangeable for shares or similar equity interests, assets, business or operations with an aggregate value of more than C$250 million (or approximately US$199 million), in a single transaction or a series of related transactions; (c) sell, transfer, lease, pledge or otherwise dispose of any of its or any of its subsidiaries’ assets, business or operations (in a single transaction or a series of related transactions) in the aggregate with a value of more than C$20 million (or approximately US$16 million); or (d) make any changes to our policy with respect to the declaration and payment of any dividends on the Shares.

In accordance with the Amended Investor Rights Agreement, the CBI Group was not permitted, prior to the exercise or expiry of all of the CBG Warrants, to purchase more than 2,000,000 Shares (subject to customary adjustments for Share splits, consolidations or other changes to the outstanding Share capital of a similar nature): (i) on the TSX, the Nasdaq or any other stock exchange, marketplace or trading market on which the Shares were then listed; or (ii) through private agreement transactions with existing holders of Shares, provided that CBG must promptly notify Canopy Growth of any acquisition of Shares.

Exclusivity Covenant and Termination

The Amended Investor Rights Agreement also provided that, subject to certain conditions, so long as the CBI Group continued to hold at least the Target Number of Shares, the CBI Group would adhere to certain non-competition restrictions including that the Company will be their exclusive strategic vehicle for cannabis products of any kind anywhere in the world (subject to limited exceptions). Further, the CBI Group agreed, for a limited period of time and subject to certain exceptions, to certain post-termination, non-competition restrictions, which included not pursuing other cannabis opportunities and not directly or indirectly participating in a competing business anywhere in the world.

In accordance with the terms of the Third Consent Agreement, the Company agreed, among other things, that following the conversion by CBG and Greenstar of their respective Shares into Exchangeable Shares, other than the Third Consent Agreement and the termination rights contained therein and the CBI Note held by Greenstar, all agreements between the Company and CBI, including the Amended Investor Rights Agreement, would be terminated. As a result, the CBI Group would no longer be subject to the non-competition restrictions in the Amended Investor Rights Agreement.

Pre-Emptive Rights and Top-Up Rights

Additionally, under the Amended Investor Rights Agreement, the CBI Group had certain pre-emptive rights as well as certain top-up rights in order to maintain its pro rata equity ownership position in Canopy Growth in connection with any offering or distribution of securities by Canopy Growth (subject to certain exceptions).

Consent Agreement

In addition to the amendments to the CBG Warrants described above, pursuant to the First Consent Agreement, the Company agreed that without the prior written consent of CBG, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, the Company would not (i) exercise its right to acquire all of the issued and outstanding Class E subordinate voting shares (the “Fixed Shares”) of Acreage prior to federal legalization of

86

TABLE OF CONTENTS

cannabis; (ii) amend, modify, supplement or restate the arrangement agreement between the Company and Acreage dated April 18, 2019, as amended on May 15, 2019, September 23, 2020 and November 17, 2020 (“Acreage Arrangement Agreement”); or (iii) waive any terms, covenants or conditions set forth in the Acreage Arrangement Agreement.

In addition, we agreed that, in the event that CBG exercises the Tranche A Warrants in full, the Company would purchase for cancellation the lesser of (i) 2,737,886 Shares, and (ii) Shares with a value of C$1,582,995,262, (or approximately US$1,260,222,528 as of April 30, 2023) during the period commencing on April 18, 2019 and ending on the date that was 24 months after the date that CBG exercised all of the Tranche A Warrants. However, if the CBI Group elected to convert the Shares held by the CBI Group into Exchangeable Shares, CBG had agreed to surrender the CBG Warrants for cancellation and as a result, our obligation to repurchase such Shares would terminate as the Tranche A Warrants would not be exercised. If, for any reason, we did not purchase for cancellation the Shares within such period, we were required to credit CBG an amount (the “Credit Amount”), as liquidated damages, equal to the difference between: (i) C$1,582,995,262 (or approximately US$1,260,222,528 as of April 30, 2023); and (ii) the actual purchase price we paid in purchasing Shares pursuant to the First Consent Agreement. The Credit Amount would have reduced the aggregate exercise price otherwise payable by CBG upon each exercise of the Original Tranche B Warrants (including those Original Tranche B Warrants reclassified as Tranche C Warrants).

We also agreed that if the CBI Group received any notification or communication of any violation or contravention of applicable law or any liability to the CBI Group under applicable law or any notification or communication that would be expected to result in a violation or contravention of applicable law or any actual liability to the CBI Group under applicable law, as a result of the license agreement between us and Acreage, CBG had the right to direct and cause us to terminate the license agreement in accordance with its terms, provided that we had an opportunity to cure any such violation, contravention or liability and CBG would have been be required to take all commercially reasonable efforts to assist us in addressing such violation, contravention or liability.

On June 24, 2020, the Company and Acreage entered into a proposal agreement (the “Proposal Agreement”) to amend the terms of the then existing plan of arrangement made pursuant to the Acreage Arrangement. Concurrent with the execution of the Proposal Agreement, on June 24, 2020, Canopy Growth and CBG entered into a second consent agreement (the “Second Consent Agreement”). As the transactions contemplated by the Proposal Agreement may have resulted in certain taxes owing by CBG or its affiliates, the Company agreed, pursuant to the Second Consent Agreement, to indemnify CBG and its affiliates for such taxes and losses incurred in relation to such taxes, subject to certain exceptions. The Company and CBG agreed to terminate the First Consent Agreement and the Second Consent Agreement upon termination of the Amended Investor Rights Agreement.

On October 24, 2022, the Company entered into an arrangement agreement with Canopy USA and Acreage, as amended (the “Floating Share Arrangement Agreement”), pursuant to which, subject to the satisfaction of the closing conditions set forth in the Floating Share Arrangement Agreement, including the conditions set forth in the Acreage Arrangement Agreement, Canopy USA would 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”). The Floating Share Arrangement received the requisite approval from the holders of Floating Shares at the special meeting of Acreage shareholders held on March 15, 2023, and on March 20, 2023 Acreage obtained a final order from the Supreme Court of British Columbia approving the Floating Share Arrangement. On December 9, 2024, in connection with: (i) Acreage Arrangement Agreement; and (ii) the Floating Share Arrangement Agreement, Canopy USA acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Acreage.

In accordance with the terms of the Third Consent Agreement, the Company agreed, among other things, that following the conversion by CBG and Greenstar of their respective Shares into Exchangeable Shares, other than the Third Consent Agreement and the termination rights contained therein and the CBI Note held by Greenstar, all agreements between the Company and CBI would terminate, including the First Consent Agreement and the Second Consent Agreement.

87

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Approval of Exchangeable Shares and Related Matters

At a special meeting (the “Special Meeting”) of shareholders of the Company held on April 12, 2024, the Company’s shareholders passed a special resolution authorizing and approving an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, in order to: (i) create and authorize Exchangeable Shares and (ii) restate the rights of the Shares to provide for a conversion feature whereby each Share may at any time, at the option of the holder, be converted into one Exchangeable Share (the “Exchangeable Shares Resolution”).

On April 18, 2024, in connection with the approval of the Exchangeable Shares Resolution and the creation of the Exchangeable Shares, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Greenstar, pursuant to which Greenstar converted approximately C$81.2 million of principal amount of the C$100 million principal amount CBI Note into 9,111,549 Exchangeable Shares (the “Note Exchange”), calculated based on a price per Exchangeable Share equal to C$8.91. Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, all accrued and unpaid interest on the CBI Note together with the remaining principal amount of the CBI Note was cancelled and forgiven for no additional consideration by Greenstar. Following the closing of the Note Exchange, there is no outstanding balance owing under the CBI Note and the CBI Note has been cancelled.

Concurrently with the Note Exchange, Greenstar and CBG (together, the “CBG Group”), exchanged all 17,149,925 Shares they collectively held for 17,149,925 Exchangeable Shares (the “CBI Exchange”) for no consideration pursuant to the terms of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended in accordance with the Exchangeable Shares Resolution. As a result of the CBI Exchange and the Note Exchange, the CBG Group no longer holds any Shares and, as of the Record Date, the CBG Group held an aggregate of 26,261,474 Exchangeable Shares. Assuming the conversion of CBG Group’s Exchangeable Shares into Shares, the CBG Group would own 9.9% of the outstanding Shares as of the Record Date.

In accordance with the Third Consent Agreement and as a result of the CBI Exchange, on April 18, 2024, CBG, Greenstar and Canopy Growth terminated the Amended Investor Rights Agreement, along with an administrative services agreement, a co-development agreement and all other commercial arrangements between them and their subsidiaries, other than the Third Consent Agreement, certain termination agreements and the Exchange Agreement. As a result, CBI no longer holds any governance rights in relation to Canopy Growth, including the Nominee Rights.

In connection with the termination of the Amended Investor Rights Agreement and subsequent to the Note Exchange, on April 18, 2024, Garth Hankinson, Judy Schmeling and James Sabia each provided notice to the Company of his or her decision to resign from the Board effective immediately. Each of Mr. Hankinson, Ms. Schmeling and Mr. Sabia had been a nominee of the CBG Group under the Amended Investor Rights Agreement.

Policy Regarding Related Person Transactions

The Board and the Audit Committee updated a written policy on May 28, 2025, providing that all related person transactions or series of similar transactions required to be disclosed pursuant to SEC Regulation S-K Item 404(a) must be presented to the Audit Committee for pre-approval or ratification. The policy requires each of our (i) directors or director nominees, (ii) executive officers, and (iii) security holders known by the Company to own of record or to beneficially own more than 5% of any class of our voting securities to notify the CLO promptly and, whenever possible, in advance of the occurrence of any potential related person transaction in which such person is directly or indirectly involved.

The CLO is responsible for reviewing all potential related person transactions and taking reasonable steps to ensure that all related person transactions requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K are presented to the Audit Committee for pre-approval or ratification by members of the committee in their discretion at the committee’s next regularly scheduled meeting or, if deemed appropriate, by consent in lieu of a meeting. No director may engage in a vote to pre-approve or ratify any related person transaction in which he or she or any member of his or her immediate family has a material interest; provided, however, that such director must provide any information concerning such related person transaction that the Audit Committee may reasonably request. If a potential related person transaction involves the CLO, the CFO would assume the responsibilities of the CLO under the policy with respect to that transaction.

88

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Audit Committee may consider all factors it deems relevant when determining whether to approve or ratify a related person transaction. In the context of evaluating potential transactions, the Audit Committee may consider, among other factors, the nature of the transaction and the related person’s interest in the transaction, the size of the transaction, whether we are able to engage in a comparable transaction with an unaffiliated party on more favorable terms, the benefit of the transaction to the Company, and the impact of the transaction on the related person. Following the adoption of this policy, we are not aware of any related person transaction required to be reported under Regulation S-K Item 404(a) that has not been pre-approved or ratified pursuant to this policy.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The Audit Committee of the Board provides oversight to our financial reporting process through periodic meetings with our independent registered public accounting firm, internal auditors, and management. Our management is responsible for the preparation and integrity of the financial reporting information and related systems of internal controls. The independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for performing an independent audit of our consolidated financial statements and our internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) and for issuing reports thereon. The Audit Committee, in carrying out its role, relies on our senior management and independent registered public accounting firm.

In connection with the preparation and filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 (the “2025 10-K”), the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with our management and with PKF O’Connor Davies LLP (“PKFOD”), our independent registered public accounting firm for Fiscal 2025, our audited financial statements and related disclosures and PKFOD’s evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting. Also, the Audit Committee discussed with PKFOD the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB and the SEC.

In addition, the Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from PKFOD required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding PKFOD’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence. The Audit Committee also has discussed with PKFOD the independence of that firm as our independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee has concluded that PKFOD’s provision of audit and non-audit services to us is compatible with PKFOD’s independence.

Based on the review and discussions described above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that our audited consolidated financial statements be included in the 2025 10-K for filing with the SEC.

Respectfully submitted by the members of Audit Committee

PROPOSAL NO. 2 – PKFOD RE-APPOINTMENT PROPOSAL

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to approve a resolution re-appointing PKFOD to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for Fiscal 2026, and to authorize the Board or any responsible committee thereof to fix PKFOD’s remuneration. The Audit Committee has recommended to the Board that PKFOD be nominated for re-appointment by the Shareholders to serve as the Company’s independent auditors for Fiscal 2026, including to audit the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026. The Audit Committee is satisfied that PKFOD meets the relevant independence requirements and is free from conflicts of interest that could impair their objectivity in conducting an audit of the Company. To the Company’s knowledge, representatives of PKFOD are expected to be present at the Meeting. PKFOD will have an opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Required Vote

You may select “For” or “Withhold” with respect to the PKFOD Re-Appointment Proposal. The affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes cast, in person or by proxy, will constitute approval of the PKFOD Re-Appointment Proposal.

THE BOARD AND AUDIT COMMITTEE UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE PKFOD RE-APPOINTMENT PROPOSAL. Unless otherwise instructed, the persons designated in the enclosed proxy form intend to vote “FOR” the PKFOD Re-Appointment Proposal.

PROPOSAL NO. 3 – SHARE CONSOLIDATION PROPOSAL

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider and if deemed advisable, to pass, with or without variation, the Share Consolidation Resolution, the full text of which is set out below, approving the amendment to the articles of the Company to provide that: (i) the authorized capital of the Company be altered by consolidating all of the issued and outstanding Shares and Exchangeable Shares on the basis of a ratio to be determined by the Board, in its sole discretion, within a range of one post-consolidation share for every five to fifteen outstanding pre-consolidation shares (the “Consolidation Range”) at anytime prior to September 26, 2026, with the exact ratios to be set at a whole number within this range by the Board in its sole discretion and applicable for both the Shares and Exchangeable Shares (the “Share Consolidation”); and (ii) any fractional shares arising from the consolidation of the Shares and Exchangeable Shares will be deemed to have been tendered by its registered owner to the Company for cancellation for no consideration.

If the Share Consolidation Resolution is approved, the Share Consolidation would only be implemented, if at all, upon a determination by the Board that it is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders. The Board’s selection of the specific ratio will be based primarily on the price of the Shares at the given time and expected stability of that price.

If the Board does not implement the Share Consolidation within 12 months of the date of the Meeting, the authority granted by the Share Consolidation Resolution will lapse and be of no further force or effect.

The text of the Share Consolidation Resolution which Shareholders will be asked to pass as a special resolution at the Meeting is set out below:

“BE IT RESOLVED THAT:

1.

the articles of Canopy Growth Corporation (the “Company”) shall be amended to provide that: (i) the authorized capital of the Company is altered by consolidating all of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company (the “Shares”) and exchangeable shares of the Company (the “Exchangeable Shares”) on the basis of a ratio to be determined by the Board, in its sole discretion, within a range of one post-consolidation Share for every five to fifteen outstanding pre-consolidation shares (the “Consolidation Range”) and the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) be hereby authorized to determine the final consolidation ratio within such Consolidation Range, in its sole discretion, such amendment to become effective on such date and time the Board may determine within one year of the date hereof (the “Share Consolidation”); and (ii) any fractional shares arising from the consolidation of the Shares and Exchangeable Shares will be deemed to have been tendered by its registered owner to the Company for cancellation for no consideration, all as more fully described in the Company’s proxy statement dated August 7, 2025, and subject to all necessary stock exchange approvals;

​

2.

the Company shall deliver the articles of amendment reflecting such Share Consolidation in the prescribed form to the Director appointed under the Canada Business Corporations Act;

​

3.

notwithstanding that this resolution has been duly passed by the shareholders of the Company, the directors of the Company are hereby authorized and empowered, if they decide not to proceed with the aforementioned resolution, to revoke this resolution at any time prior to giving effect thereto, without further notice to, or approval of, the shareholders of the Company; and

​

4.

any one or more of the directors or officers of the Company is hereby authorized and directed, acting for, in the name of and on behalf of the Company, to execute or cause to be executed, under the seal of the Company or otherwise, and to deliver or cause to be delivered, such other documents and instruments, and to do or cause to be done all such other acts and things, as may in the opinion of such director or officer of the Company be necessary or desirable to carry out the intent of the foregoing resolutions, the execution of any such document or the doing of any such other act or thing by any director or officer of the Company being conclusive evidence of such determination.”

​

Background and Reason for the Share Consolidation Proposal

To remain listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market, Nasdaq Rules require that minimum bid price of our Shares be at least $1.00 per Share (the “Minimum Bid Price Rule”). Our primary objective in seeking

93

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Shareholder approval of the Share Consolidation Proposal is to be in a position to raise the per-share trading price of our Shares to meet the requirements for the continued listing of our Shares on the Nasdaq Global Select Market in the event the price of our Shares declines.

On the Record Date, the closing price for the Shares on the Nasdaq Global Select Market was $1.05 per Share. Although the closing price of our Shares is above $1.00 per share currently, recently it has at times dipped below $1.00. In particular, the closing price of our Shares was $0.83 on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on April 8, 2025, and the closing price of our Shares on the Nasdaq Global Select Market was below $1.00 on several other days in March and April of 2025. Under Nasdaq Rules, we will receive a deficiency letter if the closing price of our Shares on the Nasdaq Global Select Market remains below $1.00 for 30 consecutive business days. Thus, we are seeking shareholder approval of the Share Consolidation Proposal primarily so that the Board is in a position to implement the Share Consolidation in the event we fall out of compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule. However, the Board could determine to implement the Share Consolidation Proposal even if we remain in compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule to have a higher per Share stock price for the reasons discussed below or the Board could determine not to implement the Share Consolidation Proposal even if we are not in compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule.

We expect that the Share Consolidation, if effectuated, would increase the bid price per Share and, if necessary, allow the Company to comply with the Minimum Bid Price Rule. However, there can be no assurance that the Share Consolidation would have that effect, initially or in the future, or that it would enable us to maintain the listing of the Shares on the Nasdaq Global Select Market or any other tier of Nasdaq. We are not aware of any present efforts by anyone to accumulate our Shares, and the proposed Share Consolidation is not intended to be an anti-takeover device.

In addition, we believe that the low market price of our Shares impairs their marketability to, and acceptance by, institutional investors and other members of the investing public and creates a negative impression of the Company. Theoretically, decreasing the number of Shares outstanding should not, by itself, affect the marketability of the Shares, the type of investor that would be interested in acquiring them or our reputation in the financial community. In practice, however, many investors, brokerage firms and market makers consider low-priced stocks as unduly speculative in nature and, as a matter of policy, avoid investment and trading in such stocks. Moreover, the analysts at many brokerage firms do not monitor the trading activity or otherwise provide coverage of lower-priced stocks. The presence of these factors may be adversely affecting, and may continue to adversely affect, not only the price of the Shares but also their trading liquidity. In addition, these factors may affect our ability to raise additional capital through the sale of Shares.

We also believe that a higher Share price could help us attract and retain employees and other service providers. We believe that some potential employees and service providers are less likely to work for a company with a low Share price, regardless of the size of the Company’s market capitalization. If the Share Consolidation successfully increases the per-share price of our Shares, we believe this increase would enhance our ability to attract and retain employees and service providers.

Effects of the Share Consolidation

If the Share Consolidation is implemented, its principal effect will be to proportionately decrease the number of issued and outstanding Shares and Exchangeable Shares by a factor equal to the consolidation ratio selected by the Board. For illustrative purposes only, the following table sets forth, based on the number of Shares and Exchangeable Shares issued and outstanding as of the Record Date, the number of Shares and Exchangeable Shares that would be issued and outstanding (disregarding any resulting fractional Shares and Exchangeable Shares and subject to any issuances occurring after such date) following the implementation of the Share Consolidation, at various consolidation ratios:

​

The Company does not expect the Share Consolidation itself to have any economic effect on holders of Shares or securities convertible into or exercisable to acquire Shares, except to the extent the Share Consolidation will result in fractional Shares. See “No Fractional Shares” below.

The Company will not proceed with the Share Consolidation if it will affect the listing of the Shares on the TSX or the Nasdaq Global Select Market.

Voting rights and other rights of the holders of Shares prior to the implementation of the Share Consolidation will not be affected by the Share Consolidation, other than as a result of the creation and disposition of fractional Shares as described below.

Effect on Non-Registered Shareholders

Non-registered Shareholders holding Shares through an Intermediary should be aware that the Intermediary may have different procedures for processing a consolidation than those that will be put in place by the Company for registered Shareholders. If Shareholders hold their Shares through an Intermediary and they have questions in this regard, they are encouraged to contact their Intermediary.

Effect of the Share Consolidation on Convertible Securities

The exercise or conversion price and/or the number of Shares issuable under any of the Company’s outstanding convertible securities, including under outstanding Options, warrants, rights, convertible debentures and any other similar securities will be proportionately adjusted upon the implementation of the Share Consolidation, in accordance with the terms of such securities, based on the Share Consolidation ratio.

Effect on Share Certificates

If the Share Consolidation is approved by Shareholders and subsequently implemented, those registered Shareholders who will hold at least one post-consolidation Share or Exchangeable Share will be required to exchange their share certificates representing pre-consolidation Shares or Exchangeable Shares for share certificates representing post-consolidation Shares or Exchangeable Shares following the Share Consolidation or, alternatively, a Direct Registration System (“DRS”) Advice/Statement representing the number of post-consolidation Shares or Exchangeable Shares they hold following the Share Consolidation. The DRS is an electronic registration system which allows Shareholders to hold Shares in their name in book-based form, as evidenced by a DRS Advice/Statement, rather than a physical share certificate.

If the Share Consolidation is implemented, the Company (or its transfer agent) will mail to each registered Shareholder a letter of transmittal in connection with such consolidation. Each registered Shareholder must complete and sign a letter of transmittal after the Share Consolidation takes effect. The letter of transmittal will contain instructions on how to surrender to the transfer agent the certificate(s) representing the registered Shareholder’s pre-consolidation Shares or Exchangeable Shares. The transfer agent will send to each registered Shareholder who follows the instructions provided in the letter of transmittal a share certificate representing the number of post-consolidation Shares or Exchangeable Shares to which the

95

TABLE OF CONTENTS

registered Shareholder is entitled or, alternatively, a DRS Advice/Statement representing the number of post-consolidation Shares or Exchangeable Shares the registered Shareholder holds following the Share Consolidation.

Until surrendered to the transfer agent, each share certificate representing pre-consolidation Shares or Exchangeable Shares will be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of post-consolidation Shares or Exchangeable Shares to which the registered Shareholder is entitled as a result of the Share Consolidation. No delivery of a new share certificate to a Shareholder will be made until the Shareholder surrenders its certificates representing the pre-consolidation Shares or Exchangeable Shares along with the letter of transmittal to the Company’s transfer agent in the manner detailed herein.

Any registered Shareholder whose old certificate(s) have been lost, destroyed or stolen will be entitled to a replacement share certificate only after complying with the requirements that the Company and the transfer agent customarily apply in connection with lost, stolen or destroyed certificates. The method chosen for delivery of share certificates and letters of transmittal to the Company’s transfer agent is the responsibility of the registered Shareholder and neither the transfer agent nor the Company will have any liability in respect of share certificates and/or letters of transmittal which are not actually received by the transfer agent.

REGISTERED SHAREHOLDERS SHOULD NEITHER DESTROY NOR SUBMIT ANY SHARE CERTIFICATE UNTIL HAVING RECEIVED A LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL.

Effect on Beneficial Shareholders

Non-registered Shareholders who hold their Shares through Intermediaries and who have questions regarding how the Share Consolidation will be processed should contact their Intermediaries with respect to the Share Consolidation.

No Fractional Shares

No fractional Shares will be issued in connection with the Share Consolidation and no cash will be paid in lieu of fractional post-consolidation Shares or Exchangeable Shares. In the event that a Shareholder would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional Share upon the occurrence of the Share Consolidation such fractional Share or Exchangeable Share will be deemed to have been tendered by its registered owner to the Company for cancellation for no consideration.

No Dissent Rights

Shareholders are not entitled to exercise any statutory dissent rights with respect to the Share Consolidation.

Accounting Consequences

If the Share Consolidation is implemented, net income or loss per Share and per Exchangeable Share, and other per Share and per Exchangeable Share amounts, will be increased because there will be fewer Shares and Exchangeable Shares issued and outstanding. In future financial statements, net income or loss per Share and per Exchangeable Share and other per Share and per Exchangeable Share amounts for periods ending before the Share Consolidation took effect would be recast to give retroactive effect to the Share Consolidation.

TSX Approval

Assuming Shareholder approval is received at the Meeting, and assuming that the Board determines to proceed with the Share Consolidation, the Share Consolidation will be subject to acceptance by the TSX, and confirmation that, on a post Share Consolidation basis, the Company would meet all of the TSX’s continued listing requirements. If the TSX does not accept the Share Consolidation, the Company will not proceed with the Share Consolidation.

Risks Associated with the Share Consolidation

Reducing the number of issued and outstanding Shares and Exchangeable Shares through the Share Consolidation is intended, absent other factors, to increase the per Share market price of the Shares. However,

96

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the market price of the Shares after the Share Consolidation will also be affected by the Company’s financial and operational results, its financial position, including its liquidity and capital resources, the development of its operations, industry conditions, the market’s perception of the Company’s business and other factors, which are unrelated to the number of Shares and Exchangeable Shares outstanding. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the market price of the Shares will increase following the implementation of the Share Consolidation or that the Company will be, or remain, in compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule and avoid a delisting of the Shares from the Nasdaq Global Select Market, or that the market price of the Shares will not decrease in the future and result in noncompliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule. There can also be no assurance that the implementation of the Share Consolidation will, in and of itself, guarantee the continued listing of the Shares on the Nasdaq Global Select Market or that the Shares will not be delisted from the Nasdaq Global Select Market because the Company fails to meet other Nasdaq continued listing requirements.

The market price of the Shares immediately following the implementation of the Share Consolidation is expected to be approximately equal to the market price of the Shares prior to the implementation of such consolidation multiplied by the applicable consolidation ratio but there is no assurance that the anticipated market price immediately following the implementation of the Share Consolidation will be realized or, if realized, will be sustained. There is a risk that the total market capitalization of the Shares (the market price of the Shares multiplied by the number of Shares outstanding) after the implementation the Share Consolidation may be lower than the total market capitalization of the Shares prior to the implementation of the Share Consolidation.

Although the Company believes that establishing a higher market price for the Shares could also enhance the marketability of the Shares by potentially broadening the pool of investors that may consider investing in the Company, including institutional and other investors whose internal investment policies prohibit or discourage them from purchasing shares trading below a certain minimum price and reduce volatility, there is no assurance that implementing the Share Consolidation will achieve either of these results.

If the Share Consolidation is implemented and the market price of the Shares (adjusted to reflect the applicable consolidation ratio) declines, the percentage decline as an absolute number and as a percentage of the Company’s overall market capitalization may be greater than would have occurred if the Share Consolidation had not been implemented. Both the total market capitalization of the Company and the adjusted market price of the Shares following the Share Consolidation may be lower than they were before the Share Consolidation took effect. The reduced number of Shares that would be outstanding after the Share Consolidation is implemented could adversely affect the liquidity of the Shares.

The Share Consolidation may result in some shareholders owning “odd lots” on a post-consolidation basis. Odd lot Shares may be more difficult to sell, or may attract greater transaction costs per Share to sell, and brokerage commissions and other costs of transactions in odd lots may be higher than the costs of transactions in “round lots.”

Tax Considerations

SHAREHOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE SHARE CONSOLIDATION TO THEM, INCLUDING THE EFFECTS OF ANY CANADIAN OR U.S. FEDERAL, PROVINCIAL, STATE, LOCAL, FOREIGN AND/OR OTHER TAX LAWS.

Required Vote

You may select “For,” “Against” or “Abstain” with respect to the Share Consolidation Proposal. The affirmative vote of 662∕3% of the votes cast, in person or by proxy, will constitute approval of the Share Consolidation Proposal.

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE SHARE CONSOLIDATION PROPOSAL. Unless otherwise instructed, the persons designated in the enclosed proxy form intend to vote “FOR” the Share Consolidation Proposal.

TABLE OF CONTENTS​

PROPOSAL NO. 4 – SAY-ON-PAY PROPOSAL

We believe that our executive compensation program and policies are designed to align the interests of management with the long-term interests of Shareholders. The Company strives to provide clear and concise disclosure regarding its approach to compensation, and to demonstrate how executive compensation is linked to the performance of the Company. Detailed information regarding our executive compensation program and policies, as well as the compensation of our NEOs, is set out above in the section entitled “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” and “Executive Compensation.” We urge Shareholders to read these sections, including the related narrative and tabular compensation disclosure included in this Proxy Statement.

As required by Section 14A of the Exchange Act, we are seeking a vote on an advisory (non-binding) basis to approve the compensation of the NEOs as disclosed in this Proxy Statement. This proposal, commonly known as a “say-on-pay” proposal, gives Shareholders the opportunity to endorse or not endorse the Company’s executive compensation program and policies.

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to approve, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, a resolution in the form set out below, subject to such amendments, variations or additions as may be approved at the Meeting, to approve the Company’s executive compensation program and policies.

The text of the resolution to be submitted to Shareholders at the Meeting is set out below:

“BE IT RESOLVED THAT the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and related narrative discussion contained in the proxy statement, dated August 7, 2025, is hereby approved on a non-binding advisory basis.”

Required Vote

You may select “For,” “Against” or “Abstain” with respect to the Say-on-Pay Proposal. The affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes cast, in person or by proxy, will constitute approval of the Say-on-Pay Proposal.

While this advisory vote on the compensation of the NEOs officers is not binding on the Company, the Board or the CGCN Committee, we value the opinions of our Shareholders. Accordingly, the Board and the CGCN Committee will consider the outcome of this advisory vote when considering future compensation policies, procedures and decisions with respect to our NEOs. Canopy Growth expects to have its next “say-on-pay” vote at its 2026 annual meeting of Shareholders.

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE SAY-ON-PAY PROPOSAL. Unless otherwise instructed, the persons designated in the enclosed proxy form intend to vote “FOR” the Say-on-Pay Proposal.

TABLE OF CONTENTS​​​

SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR THE 2026 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Canopy Growth is subject to both the rules of the SEC under the Exchange Act, and the provisions of the CBCA with respect to Shareholder proposals. As clearly indicated under the CBCA and the rules of the SEC under the Exchange Act, simply submitting a Shareholder proposal does not guarantee its inclusion in the proxy materials.

Shareholders who, in accordance with the SEC’s Rule 14a-8, wish to present proposals for inclusion in the proxy materials to be distributed by us in connection with our 2026 annual general meeting of Shareholders must submit their proposals to the Corporate Secretary of the Company on or before April 9, 2026 (which is 120 calendar days before the anniversary of the date the Notice of Internet Availability was first sent to Shareholders), and must otherwise comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-8. In the event that we hold our 2026 annual general meeting of Shareholders more than 30 days before or after the one-year anniversary date of the Meeting, we will disclose the new deadline by which Shareholders’ proposals must be received by any means reasonably calculated to inform Shareholders. A proposal submitted to the Corporate Secretary should be submitted in writing to Canopy Growth Corporation, 1 Hershey Drive, Smiths Falls, Ontario, K7A 0A8, Attention: Corporate Secretary.

Under the CBCA to be eligible to submit a Shareholder proposal, the Shareholder must hold at least 1% of the outstanding Shares or such number of Shares with a fair market value of at least C$2,000. If the proposal involves the nomination of one or more directors, it must also be signed by one or more Shareholders representing in the aggregate at least 5% of the Shares entitled to vote at the applicable meeting of Shareholders (and, in that case, there is no limit on the number of nominees that may be submitted by proposal). The CBCA explicitly extends the right to submit a Shareholder proposal to non-registered Shareholders.

If the Company receives an eligible proposal, it is required to include it in its proxy materials for the applicable meeting of Shareholders. Under the CBCA, the Company may reject a proposal and exclude it from its proxy circular on the basis of certain specified procedural or substantive grounds, some of which are similar to those under the SEC’s Rule 14a-8. Under the CBCA, the Company is not required to include a proposal in its proxy materials if the proposal is not submitted to the Company 90 - 150 days before the anniversary of the last annual meeting of Shareholders.

Under the CBCA, Shareholders who wish to present proposals for inclusion in the proxy materials to be distributed by the Company in connection with our 2026 annual meeting of Shareholders must submit their proposals between April 29, 2026 and June 28, 2026, which is the 60-day period between 150 and 90 days before the anniversary date of this Meeting.

HOUSEHOLDING OF MEETING MATERIALS

We and some Intermediaries have adopted a procedure called “householding.” Under this procedure, Canopy Growth and some Intermediaries may deliver a single copy of the Notice of Internet Availability and, if you requested printed versions by mail, this Proxy Statement and our 2025 Annual Report to multiple shareholders who share the same address, unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected Shareholders. This procedure reduces the environmental impact of our annual meetings and reduces Canopy Growth’s printing and mailing costs. Once you have received notice from your Intermediary that they will be householding materials to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If you are a non-registered Shareholder and at any time you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate copy of the proxy materials, including our 2025 Annual Report, or if you are receiving multiple copies of the proxy materials and wish to receive only one, please notify your Intermediary. If you are a Registered Shareholder and you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate copy of the proxy materials, or if you are receiving multiple copies of the proxy materials and wish to receive only one, please submit a written request to 1 Hershey Drive, Smiths Falls, Ontario, K7A 0A8, Attention: Investor Relations, by telephone at 1-855-558-9333 x122 or by email request to invest@canopygrowth.com.

Canopy Growth Corporation (the “Company”) has adopted these Corporate Governance Guidelines (the “Guidelines”) to assist the Board in its exercise of its responsibilities and to assist the Board in complying with the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the “Nasdaq”) Listing Rules and other legal requirements. These Guidelines reflect the Board’s judgment as it relates to sound corporate governance practices by which the Board oversees the Company’s business affairs. These Guidelines are not intended to change or interpret any federal or state law or regulation, the certificate of incorporation of the Company (as it may be amended or restated from time to time, the “Charter”) or the bylaws of the Company (as they may be amended from time to time, the “Bylaws”). These Guidelines are subject to change from time to time by the Board in its sole discretion.

1.

BOARD COMPOSITION AND DIRECTOR QUALIFICATIONS

1.1.

BOARD MEMBERSHIP CRITERIA

Subject to the terms of any shareholders’ agreement that sets forth procedures governing the nomination of directors to the Board or if the Company is otherwise required to provide third parties with the ability to nominate directors, the Corporate Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee (the “Governance Committee”) is responsible for reviewing the background and qualifications of individuals being considered as director candidates and recommending to the Board director candidates for nomination for annual election or reelection by the shareholders, for any Board vacancies to be filled, or for appointment of additional directors by the Board. The Board will subsequently elect a chairperson of the Board (the “Chairman”) from its members. Among the qualifications considered in the selection of candidates, the Governance Committee will look at the following attributes and criteria of candidates: experience, skills, expertise, diverse personal backgrounds and perspectives, personal and professional integrity, character, business judgment, time availability in light of other commitments, dedication and conflicts of interest. The Governance Committee may, if it deems appropriate, establish procedures to be followed by shareholders in submitting recommendations for Board candidates and the Governance Committee’s policies for consideration of Board candidates recommended by shareholders. At least twenty-five percent of the directors of the Company shall be “resident Canadians” as defined by the Canada Business Corporations Act.

​

A-1

TABLE OF CONTENTS​​​​​​​

1.2.

POSITION DESCRIPTIONS

​

The Board will develop clear position descriptions for the Chairman and the Chair of each Committee. The Board, together with the Chief Executive Officer, will develop a clear position description for the Chief Executive Officer (including delineating management responsibilities) and will develop or approve the corporate goals and objectives that the Chief Executive Officer is responsible for meeting.

1.3.

INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS

​

The Company defines an “independent director” in accordance with the standards and requirements promulgated by all applicable regulatory bodies exercising control over the Company, including Rule 5605(a)(2) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules. Subject to the phase-in rules of the Nasdaq and the exemption for “controlled companies” under the Nasdaq Listing Rules, the Board will be composed of a majority of independent directors, including the Chairman. Where it is not appropriate for the Chairman to be independent, an independent director will be appointed to act as “lead director”. Whether directors are independent will be reviewed annually in connection with the preparation of the Company’s proxy statement. The Governance Committee, as well as the Board, will review commercial and other relationships between directors and the Company to make a determination regarding the independence of each of the directors, but the final independence determination will be made by the Board after due deliberation.

1.4.

DIRECTORS WHO CEASE TO BE INDEPENDENT

​

An independent director who ceases to qualify as such after election to the Board will be required to tender a resignation as a director promptly to the Governance Committee. The Governance Committee will consider the tendered resignation and recommend to the Board whether to accept or reject the resignation, taking into consideration the effect of such change on the interests of the Company.

1.5.

DIRECTORS WHO CHANGE THEIR JOB RESPONSIBILITY

​

When a director’s principal occupation or business association changes substantially from that which he or she held when originally invited to join the Board (including retirement), he or she will promptly notify the Governance Committee and the Governance Committee will evaluate whether the change in circumstances is consistent with the Board’s original intent for selecting that director and the current guidelines for membership on the Board. Following its evaluation, the Governance Committee will recommend to the entire Board whether to nominate the director for reelection at the next annual meeting of shareholders. While the Board does not believe that a director presenting such changes should necessarily leave the Board, there should be an opportunity for the Board, through the Governance Committee, to review the appropriateness of the director’s reelection to the Board.

1.6.

RESIGNATION, RETIREMENT OR REFUSAL TO STAND FOR REELECTION

​

In the event that a director intends to resign or retire from, or refuses to stand for reelection to, the Board, he or she must tender written notice of such intent directly to the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer. The Board, taking into account any recommendation of the Governance Committee, shall determine the action, if any, to be taken with respect to such notice.

1.7.

BOARD TENURE

​

Except as may be provided in the Charter, the Bylaws, and the Mandatory Director Retirement Age Policy, there are no established term limits for service on the Board. Directors shall be elected for the terms provided in the Charter, subject to the Mandatory Retirement Age of 75 that is specified in the Mandatory Director Retirement Age Policy (unless exempted thereunder). The Board may nominate a director for reelection based on the recommendation of the Governance Committee.

1.8.

NOTIFICATION OF ADDITIONAL BOARD SERVICE

​

Directors will advise the Chairman and the chairperson of the Governance Committee in advance of accepting an invitation to serve on a board of another company with publicly traded equity. Service on boards and committees of other organizations should be consistent with the Code (as defined below). If a member of the Company’s Audit Committee serves on more than two other public company audit committees, the Board

A-2

TABLE OF CONTENTS​​​​​​​

will determine whether such simultaneous service impairs the director’s ability to serve effectively on the Company’s Audit Committee, and the Company must disclose such determination, either on or through the Company’s website or in its annual proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Board considers it appropriate to limit the number of public company boards on which directors may serve to no greater than 4 public companies, including the Company/.

The business affairs of the Company are managed under the direction of the Board. The Board believes that the primary responsibilities of directors are to exercise their business judgment in good faith and to act in what they reasonably believe is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. Directors must fulfill their responsibilities consistent with their fiduciary duties to shareholders, in compliance with all applicable rules and regulations and subject to the provisions of the Charter and Bylaws.

In forming his or her judgment, each director is entitled to rely in good faith on the accuracy of the records of the Company and the information, opinions, reports or statements presented by the Company’s officers, employees, Board committees, outside advisers and auditors. In discharging their obligations, directors are entitled to rely on the honesty and integrity of the Company’s senior executives and its outside advisers and auditors.

BOARD MEETINGS AND PROCEDURES

​

3.1.

MEETING FREQUENCY

​

The Board will hold at least one regularly scheduled meeting each quarter.

3.2.

CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD

​

The Chairman will preside over all meetings of the directors, be responsible for the agenda at all meetings of the Board and will preside over meetings of shareholders. The Chairman will convey recommendations of the independent directors to the Board and will be the liaison between the Board and the management of the Company. The Chairman will preview information sent to the Board as necessary and approve meeting schedules to assure that there is sufficient time for discussion of all agenda items.

3.3.

AGENDA ITEMS

​

Each director is free to suggest agenda items to the Chairman and to raise at any meeting topics not on the agenda.

3.4.

ATTENDANCE

​

All directors are expected to make reasonable best efforts to attend all meetings of the Board, all meetings of the committees of which they are members and the annual meeting of shareholders, and to maintain a satisfactory Board and committee meeting attendance record of no less than 75% in the aggregate, subject to recusal by the Board or relevant committee. Directors are encouraged to attend Board meetings and meetings of committees of which they are members in person but may also attend such meetings by telephone or video conference.

3.5.

MEETING MATERIALS AND PREPARATION

​

Information and materials important to the Board’s understanding of topics expected to be discussed at meetings should, to the extent practical, be distributed sufficiently in advance to permit prior review. In the event of a meeting on short notice, or if materials would contain highly confidential or sensitive information, it is recognized that written materials might not be available in advance.

Each director should be sufficiently familiar with the business of the Company, including its financial statements and capital structure, the risks and competition it faces, and the regulatory, legislative, business, social and political environments in which the Company operates, in order to facilitate active and effective participation in the deliberations of the Board and of each committee on which he or she serves. Management will make appropriate personnel available to answer any questions a director may have about any aspect of the

A-3

TABLE OF CONTENTS​​​​​​

Company’s business. Directors should also review the materials provided by management and advisers in advance of the meetings of the Board and its committees and should arrive prepared to discuss the issues presented.

3.6.

SEPARATE SESSIONS OF INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS

​

The independent directors will meet at regularly scheduled sessions at least quarterly without the Company’s management present. If an independent director, the Chairman will preside in executive session. If the Chairman is absent or disqualified, the chairperson of the Audit Committee will preside. If the chairperson of the Audit Committee is absent, or not independent, the lead director will preside.

4.

DIRECTOR COMMUNICATIONS

​

4.1.

DIRECTOR COMMUNICATIONS WITH MANAGEMENT AND OUTSIDE ADVISERS

​

It is management’s job to formulate, propose and implement strategic choices and the Board’s role to approve and evaluate strategic direction and results. However, the Board and management are better able to perform their responsibilities if there is an ongoing dialogue among the Chief Executive Officer, other senior managers and Board members. To facilitate these discussions, directors will have access to the Company’s senior management team and are encouraged to make regular contact. Board members are normally expected to inform the Chief Executive Officer prior to contacting any member of the Company’s senior management team on any substantive matter. Board members, however, are not expected to inform the Chief Executive Officer that they are contacting members of the Company’s senior management team regarding the normal activities of their Board committees. Board members shall use sound business judgment to ensure that such contact is not distracting.

The Board shall have the right at any time to retain independent outside accounting, financial, legal or other advisers as it deems necessary to fulfill its duties and responsibilities, and the Company shall provide appropriate funding, as determined by the Board or any committee, to compensate such independent outside advisers, as well as to cover the ordinary administrative expenses incurred by the Board and its committees in carrying out their duties.

4.2.

BOARD INTERACTION WITH INSTITUTIONAL INVESTORS, ANALYSTS, PRESS AND CUSTOMERS

​

Generally, management should speak for the Company. Each director should refer all inquiries from institutional investors, analysts, the press, or customers to the Chief Executive Officer or his or her designee.

5.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

​

It is the Company’s policy to compensate non-management and independent directors competitively relative to comparable companies and to align directors’ interests with the long-term interests of the Company’s shareholders. The Governance Committee will recommend annually to the full Board for its consideration the form and amounts of compensation and benefits for non-management directors. In its deliberations, the Governance Committee and the Board shall consider whether the levels of director compensation could impair independence and shall critically evaluate any consulting, charitable contribution, or other potential indirect compensation arrangements. In addition, the Governance Committee and the Board shall seek to ensure that the compensation realistically reflects the responsibilities and risks involved in being an effective director. Directors who are current employees of the Company shall receive no additional compensation for Board service.

6.

DIRECTOR ORIENTATION AND CONTINUING EDUCATION

​

The Company will provide each new director with an orientation packet to familiarize him or her with, among other things, the Company’s (i) business and strategic plans, (ii) significant financial, accounting and risk management issues, (iii) compliance programs, (iv) Code, (v) Insider Trading Policy, (vi) Guidelines, (vii) principal officers and (viii) independent auditors. Each director is expected to participate in such director orientation.

Each director is expected to be involved in continuing director education on an ongoing basis to enable him or her to better perform his or her duties and to recognize and deal appropriately with issues that

A-4

TABLE OF CONTENTS​​​​​​​

arise in connection therewith, as set forth in the Board of Directors Continuing Education Policy. The Company will pay all reasonable expenses related to the continuing director education.

7.

CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT AND ETHICS

​

The Board must adopt a written Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code”) as part of its efforts to promote a culture of integrity and honesty throughout the Company. The Code will apply to the Board itself and the Company’s management and employees. Only the Board may grant any waivers to the Code. If the Board grants a waiver to the Code, the Board will determine if disclosure of the waiver is necessary in accordance with applicable law. Contents of such disclosure will be in compliance with National Policy 58-201 — Corporate Governance Guidelines and National Instrument 58-101 — Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices – and applicable U.S. securities laws. On occasion, the Board must review and analyze the conduct of the Chief Executive Officer and senior management to satisfy itself that these individuals are complying with the Code and are creating a culture of integrity throughout the Company.

8.

COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD

​

8.1.

NUMBER, STRUCTURE AND APPOINTMENT OF COMMITTEE MEMBERS

​

The Company’s current committee structure includes the following committees: the Audit Committee and the Governance Committee. All members of these committees shall be independent directors, subject to any applicable phase-in rules of the Nasdaq, unless not all of the members of the Governance Committee are required to be independent in accordance with the exemption for “controlled companies” under the rules of the Nasdaq. All committee members shall be appointed by the Board upon recommendation of the Governance Committee. The Board may, from time to time, establish or maintain additional committees as necessary or appropriate.

8.2.

COMMITTEE CHARTERS

​

The charters of each standing committee will be reviewed periodically by the Governance Committee with a view to delegating to committees the authority of the Board concerning specified matters appropriate to such committees.

Each committee shall discharge its responsibilities in accordance with its own charter. Each committee charter shall set forth: the purposes, goals and responsibilities of the committee; qualifications for membership on the committee; and committee structure and operations. Each committee charter shall also specify procedures for committee member appointment and removal, as well as require that the committee annually evaluate its performance and report its assessment to the Governance Committee.

8.3.

COMMITTEE MEETINGS

​

The chairperson of each committee, in consultation with committee members, shall determine the frequency and length of committee meetings unless otherwise provided in the charter for such committee. The chairperson of the committee, in consultation with committee members and appropriate members of management, shall establish the committee’s meeting agenda. Each committee member may recommend items for inclusion on the committee’s meeting agenda.

Management will make appropriate personnel available to attend committee meetings upon the respective committee’s request and, subject to a committee requesting otherwise, the Corporate Secretary, or their designee, shall act as secretary at all committee meetings.

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

​

9.1.

EVALUATION OF THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

​

9.2.

SUCCESSION PLANNING

​

The Company understands the importance of succession planning. The Governance Committee shall annually review and report to the Board on succession planning, which shall include emergency Chief Executive Officer succession, Chief Executive Officer succession in the ordinary course and succession for other members of senior management. Taking into consideration such report, the entire Board will work with the committee to evaluate potential successors to the Chief Executive Officer. The Chief Executive Officer should at all times make available his or her recommendations and evaluations of potential successors, along with a review of any development plans recommended for such individuals.

10.

ANNUAL PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF THE BOARD

​

The Board will conduct an annual self-evaluation to determine whether it and its committees are functioning effectively. The Governance Committee shall be responsible for conducting this evaluation by annually assessing the performance of the Board and its committees and reporting its conclusions to the full Board. In performing its review, the Governance Committee shall solicit and consider the input of all of the directors through an evaluation process in which each director is asked to critically evaluate the performance of the Board and each committee on which he or she serves. At the discretion of the committee, this review may, from time to time, include input from each director on the performance of each other Board member. Candor shall be encouraged by ensuring that evaluations are and remain anonymous. This responsibility is in addition to, and shall be coordinated with, the Governance Committee’s responsibility to annually assess whether the appropriate balance of skills and characteristics are represented on the Board.

11.
