On July 29, 2025, Canopy Growth Corporation (the
“Company”) entered into an agreement (the “Lender Agreement”) with certain of the lenders (the
“Lenders”) to its senior secured term loan facility (the “Term Loan”) under its term loan credit agreement
dated March 18, 2021, as amended on October 24, 2022, July 13, 2023 and August 8, 2024, among the Company and
11065220 Canada Inc., as borrowers, the lenders party thereto and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as administrative and
collateral agent. Pursuant to the terms of the Lender Agreement, the Company has agreed to make the following three prepayments
under the Term Loan that are expected to reduce the Term Loan by US$50.0 million by March 31, 2026: (i) US$25.0 million at
par on or about July 31, 2025; (ii) US$10.0 million at par on or prior to December 31, 2025; and (iii) US$15.0
million at par on or prior to March 31, 2026 (collectively, the “Prepayments”). The Lender Agreement was entered
into in order to facilitate the Acreage Financing (as defined below).
