 PERFORMANCE STOCK UNIT GRANT AGREEMENT 

(CANADIAN EMPLOYEES) 

(FOR SETTLEMENT IN COMMON SHARES ONLY) 

To:        Firstname Lastname 

Date:     Month Day, 202X 

 
 I am pleased to confirm that, in
connection with services to be rendered by you over the period that ends on the Vesting Date (as defined in Schedule “A” hereto), you have been granted a stock-based Performance Award (the “PSUs”) of Canopy Growth
Corporation (“Canopy Growth”) under Canopy Growth’s Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan, as the same may be amended from time to time (the “Plan”). All capitalized terms that are not defined in this
letter agreement and its schedule(s) shall be as defined in the Plan. Each PSU covers one common share in the capital of Canopy Growth (each a “Common Share”). This letter shall constitute an Award Agreement under the Plan and sets
forth the terms and conditions of the PSUs, which include the terms detailed in Schedule “A” hereto. 
 Note 1: All PSUs
granted under this Award Agreement will vest on the Vesting Date, unless: 
 (a)    You provide Canopy Growth with
notice of resignation, in which case PSUs will cease to vest on the date on which you provide notice of resignation from your employment with Canopy Growth; 

(b)    Canopy Growth terminates your Service (as such term is defined in the Plan) for “cause” (as such term is
defined in the Plan), in which case PSUs will cease to vest on that date; 
 (c)    Canopy Growth terminates your
Service without cause, in which case you will receive the vesting of any outstanding PSUs, at actual performance levels, for all fiscal years already certified by the Board of Directors or any responsible committee thereof by the date that is the
conclusion to the applicable statutory notice period required in consideration of the termination of your employment by Canopy Growth without cause, while all other PSUs will cease to vest; or 

(d)    The law deems your Service to be terminated, in which case PSUs will cease to vest on the date deemed by law to be
date of such termination. 
 Following the Vesting Date, you will not be entitled to any further vesting of PSUs nor to damages or
compensation of any sort as a result of such limitation. 
 Note 2: Notwithstanding the Vesting Date detailed in Schedule
“A”, the Vesting Date may be automatically adjusted if it would otherwise: (i) be a date that is not a business day; (ii) be a date that is within a Blackout Period or (iii) be a date that is prior to Canopy Growth being in
receipt of your executed copy of this Award Agreement, which confirms your agreement to comply with the terms and conditions of the Award Agreement and the Plan. In case of any of the foregoing, the Vesting Date is deemed to be adjusted to the
business day immediately following the date of the event set out in (i), (ii) or (iii), described above, as the case may be. 












 Note 3: Section 13 of the Plan (Change in Control Provisions) shall not apply to
any Awards (including the PSUs) granted hereunder unless otherwise determined by the Committee or the Board; provided, however, that the direct or indirect acquisition by the CBG Group (as defined below) of more than 50% of the combined voting power
of Canopy Growth’s then outstanding securities as a result of the CBG Group’s beneficial ownership of common shares of Canopy Growth held as of the close of the private placement transaction with CBG Holdings LLC (“CBG”)
completed on November 1, 2018 (the CBG Closing”), combined with common shares of Canopy Growth acquired by the CBG Group pursuant to the exercise of any or all of its warrants to purchase common shares of Canopy Growth that were
held as of the CBG Closing shall not, in any event or circumstance, constitute a “Change in Control” within the meaning of the Plan. For purposes of this paragraph, “CBG Group” means Greenstar Canada Investment Limited, CBG,
and Constellation Brands, Inc. and its respective direct and indirect subsidiaries. 
 Note 4: As soon as practicable following the
vesting of PSUs, and in any event no later than March 15 of the year following the year in which a PSU vests (such March 15 date, the “Payment Deadline”), you will be issued one Common Share in settlement of each vested
PSU. Settlement is subject to you making arrangements acceptable to Canopy Growth to satisfy applicable withholding taxes. Failure to do so by the Payment Deadline shall result in your forfeiture of the applicable PSUs to otherwise be settled. 

The terms of this PSU grant are confidential and we expect that you will maintain the confidentiality of the grant and not disclose details to
other members of the Canopy Growth team or anyone outside Canopy Growth. 
 This Award Agreement and your acceptance thereof are subject to
the Plan. You acknowledge having received a copy of the Plan. If there is any inconsistency between the terms of this Award Agreement and the Plan, you acknowledge that the terms of the Plan shall govern. Canopy Growth may require, as a condition to
the issuance of Common Shares pursuant to the settlement of vested PSUs, that you sell a sufficient number of Common Shares required to pay any federal, provincial/state or local withholding taxes required by law. 

As a condition to the grant of your PSUs, you are required to indicate your agreement to comply with the terms and conditions of the Plan and
this Award Agreement by signing the acknowledgement at the foot of this letter. 
  

Dated this                  day of
                , 202X.

 SCHEDULE “A” 

Grant Date, Vesting Date and Target 

The grant date for this award is [Insert grant date] (the “Grant Date”). The vesting date for this award is [Insert Date that
is the third anniversary of the Grant Date or such other date determined] or such other earlier date as determined by the Corporate Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee (the “Committee”) in its sole discretion (the
“Vesting Date”). The Target is [INSERT TARGET %] (“Target”) of your base salary of [INSERT CURRENCY AND AMOUNT OF BASE SALARY]. 

Performance Period 

The performance period for this award is from April 1, 2021 to March 31, 2024, which comprises Fiscal Year 2022 (“Year
1”), Fiscal Year 2023 (“Year 2”) and Fiscal Year 2024 (“Year 3”) (the “Performance Period”). 

Performance Vesting Conditions 

The Performance Vesting Conditions for this award are (i) relative total shareholder return (“Relative TSR”) generated by
Canopy Growth vs. a custom group of cannabis industry peers over the Performance Period as described below and (ii) Adjusted EBITDA generated by Canopy Growth over the Performance Period as described below. 

Adjustment Factor 

Each PSU consists of a conditional right to receive one Common Share, subject to achievement of the Performance Vesting Conditions during the
Performance Period. The number of PSUs granted, as stated in this Award Agreement, is not a fixed number, but instead will be modified by an Adjustment Factor based on metric performance. 

The Adjustment Factor shall be expressed as a percentage and calculated as follows: 

Adjustment Factor (%) = (0.50 x Relative TSR Multiplier) + (0.50 x Adjusted EBITDA Multiplier) 

The Committee may apply additional adjustments to the Adjustment Factor in circumstances where the outcome is inconsistent with the intent of
the Plan. 
 Relative TSR Multiplier 
  

	 	1.	 The Relative TSR Multiplier will be calculated over the Performance Period with reference to both annual
Relative TSR and three-year cumulative Relative TSR, on a combined basis as follows: 


  

	 	•	 	 20% annual Relative TSR for Year 1 of the Performance Period; 



 

	 	•	 	 20% annual Relative TSR for Year 2 of the Performance Period; 



 

	 	•	 	 20% annual Relative TSR for Year 3 of the Performance Period; 



 

	 	•	 	 40% three-year cumulative Relative TSR for the Performance Period. 



 

	 	2.	 Annually, Canopy Growth TSR will be determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, for the most
recently completed year, and, if the full Performance Period has been completed, for the Performance Period. 















	 	3.	 “Canopy Growth TSR” means, for any applicable measurement period, unless otherwise
determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, Canopy Growth’s cumulative total shareholder return (assuming reinvestment of dividends) for the applicable period as reported by Bloomberg, adjusted based on the volume weighted average
trading price of the Share Units on the Toronto Stock Exchange for the 30 trading days ending on the last trading day of the applicable measurement period. 



Custom Performance Peer Group Measurement 
  

	 	1.	 Concurrently with determining the Canopy Growth TSR calculations set out above, the Committee will
determine, in its sole discretion, the total shareholder return for the applicable periods for the following group of peers for this award (the “Performance Peer Group”): 



 

	 	•	 	 Curaleaf Holdings, Inc; 



 

	 	•	 	 Green Thumb Industries Inc.; 



 

	 	•	 	 Tilray Inc. (Previously Aphria Inc.); 



 

	 	•	 	 Cronos Group; 


  

	 	•	 	 Sundial Growers Inc.; 


  


	 	•	 	 Aurora Cannabis Inc.; 


  


	 	•	 	 Organigram Holdings Inc.; 



 

	 	•	 	 HEXO Corporation; 


  

	 	•	 	 Charlotte’s Web Holdings, Inc.; 



 

	 	•	 	 The Valens Company Inc. 



TSR will be calculated based on the primary exchange on which each applicable peer company’s stock is traded (TSX or CSE) and denominated
in Canadian Dollars. Dividends will be assumed to have been reinvested for additional shares on the ex-distribution date. 
  

	 	2.	 The Committee reserves the right to apply discretion in how to treat any member of the Performance Peer
Group that is delisted during the Performance Period, including with respect to how such peer contributes (if at all) to the calculation of the Canopy Growth’s Relative TSR percentile ranking of the Performance Peer Group.



 Percentile Ranking 
  

	 	1.	 The Relative TSR Multiplier for the annual measurement period and the three-year cumulative period shall be
calculated as follows, linearly interpolated for performance between the specified levels: 


  

					
	 Performance Level
	  	 Relative TSR Performance

(Percentile)
	  	 Relative TSR

Multiplier

(as % of Target)

	 Maximum
	  	Greater than or equal to 75th	  	150%
	 Target
	  	50th	  	100%
	 Threshold
	  	Less than or equal to 25th	  	50%













 Adjusted EBITDA Multiplier 

 

	 	1.	 The Adjusted EBITDA Multiplier will be calculated over the Performance Period with reference to both the
annual Adjusted EBITDA and a three-year cumulative Adjusted EBITDA, on a combined basis as follows: 


  

	 	•	 	 20% annual Adjusted EBITDA for Year 1 of the Performance Period; 



 

	 	•	 	 20% annual Adjusted EBITDA for Year 2 of the Performance Period; 



 

	 	•	 	 20% annual Adjusted EBITDA for Year 3 of the Performance Period; 



 

	 	•	 	 40% three-year cumulative Adjusted EBITDA for the Performance Period. 



 

	 	2.	 Annually, Canopy Growth Adjusted EBITDA will be determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, for the
most recently completed year, and, if the full Performance Period has been completed, for the Performance Period. 


  

	 	3.	 “Canopy Growth Adjusted EBITDA” means, for any applicable measurement period, unless
otherwise determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, for any fiscal year of Canopy Growth, earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization of Canopy Growth as set forth in the financial statements for Canopy Growth for such
fiscal year then ended, adjusted to exclude share-based compensation (“SBC”), acquisition related costs including SBC, and other non-cash items pursuant to past practices and approved by the
Audit Committee of the Board. 


  

	 	4.	 The Adjusted EBITDA Multiplier for a specific period shall be calculated as follows, linearly interpolated
for performance between the specific levels: 


  

													
	 Period
	  	Threshold Adjusted
EBITDA	 	  	Target Adjusted
EBITDA	 	  	Maximum
Adjusted EBITDA
