Canopy Growth Announces Effective Date of Share Consolidation

Shares will be consolidated at a 1 for 10 ratio

Action expected to allow the Company to regain compliance with Nasdaq minimum bid price requirement

SMITHS FALLS, ON — December 13, 2023 — Canopy Growth Corporation (“Canopy Growth” or the “Company”) (TSX: WEED) (Nasdaq: CGC) announced today that the Company’s board of directors has approved the consolidation (the “Consolidation”) of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares (the “Common Shares”) on the basis of one (1) post-Consolidation Common Share for every ten (10) pre-Consolidation Common Shares. The Consolidation is being implemented to ensure that the Company continues to comply with the listing requirements of the Nasdaq Global Select Market (the “Nasdaq”).

The Consolidation was approved by the Company’s shareholders at the annual general and special meeting of shareholders held on September 25, 2023. The Consolidation is subject to approval by the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) and is expected to become effective on December 15, 2023 (the “Effective Date”), with the post-Consolidation Common Shares commencing trading on the TSX and the Nasdaq at market open on December 20, 2023, subject to final confirmation from the TSX and the Nasdaq. No fractional Common Shares will be issued in connection with the Consolidation. Any fractional Common Shares arising from the Consolidation will be deemed to have been tendered by its registered owner to the Company for cancellation for no consideration. The exercise or conversion price and/or the number of Common Shares issuable under any of the Company’s outstanding convertible securities will be proportionately adjusted in connection with the Consolidation.

“By implementing this share consolidation, Canopy Growth expects to regain compliance with the Nasdaq’s bid requirement and further support the marketability of the Company’s shares,” said Judy Hong, Chief Financial Officer, Canopy Growth.

It is anticipated that upon completion of the Consolidation, the post-Consolidation Common Shares will continue to trade on the TSX under the symbol “WEED” and on the Nasdaq under the symbol “CGC”, under a new CUSIP number: 138035704.

Shareholders of record as of the Effective Date will receive a letter of transmittal from Odyssey Trust Company, the transfer agent for the Common Shares, providing instructions for the exchange of their Common Shares as soon as practicable following the Effective Date. Registered shareholders may also obtain a copy of the letter of transmittal by accessing the Company’s SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca. Until surrendered, each share certificate or direct registration system statement representing pre-Consolidation Common Shares will represent the number of whole post-Consolidation Common Shares to which the holder is entitled as a result of the Consolidation. No action is required by beneficial holders to receive post-Consolidation Common Shares in connection with the Consolidation.  Beneficial holders who hold their Common Shares through intermediaries (e.g., a broker, bank, trust company investment dealer or other financial institution) and who have questions regarding how the Consolidation will be processed should contact their intermediaries with respect to the Consolidation.
