 final order from the Supreme Court of British Columbia approving the Floating Share Arrangement. The Floating Share Arrangement was implemented on December 9, 2024 in connection with the closing of the Acreage Acquisition.

On June 4, 2024, the Acreage Option was exercised in accordance with the terms of the arrangement agreement dated April 18, 2019, as amended on May 15, 2019, September 23, 2020 and November 17, 2020 (the “Existing Acreage Arrangement Agreement”), with such exercise being completed in advance of the Exercise Outside Date (as defined in the Floating Share Arrangement Agreement). Concurrently with the closing of the acquisition of the Fixed Shares pursuant to the exercise of the Acreage Option, on December 9, 2024, the Fixed Shares were issued to Canopy USA upon closing of the Acreage Acquisition. Accordingly, Canopy Growth does not hold any Fixed Shares or Floating Shares. The acquisition of the Floating Shares pursuant to the Floating Share Arrangement occurred immediately prior to the acquisition of the Fixed Shares pursuant to the Existing Acreage Arrangement Agreement such that 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Acreage are owned by Canopy USA. For additional details, see “Acreage Acquisition” below.

On June 3, 2024, the Company exercised its option to acquire certain outstanding debt of Acreage (the “Debt Acquisition”) in connection with the option agreement dated November 15, 2022 (the “Option Agreement”) among a wholly-owned subsidiary of Canopy Growth (the “Optionor”) and the lenders (the “Lenders”) party to Acreage’s credit agreement dated as of December 16, 2021, as amended by the first amendment to credit agreement dated as of October 24, 2022 and the second amendment to credit agreement dated as of April 28, 2023.

The Optionor entered into various agreements in connection with the Debt Acquisition in order to acquire approximately US$99.8 million of Acreage’s outstanding debt (the “Acquired Debt”) from certain Lenders in exchange for US$69.8 million in cash and the release of approximately US$30.1 million (the “Option Premium”) that was held in escrow pursuant to the Option Agreement. As reported in the Annual Report, the Option Premium was not included in Canopy Growth’s cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 202
