On May 26, 2026, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Canopy Growth Corporation (the "Company") approved By-Law No. 2 Advance Notice By-Law (the "Advance Notice By-Law"), which is an amendment to its current bylaws. The Advance Notice By-Law became effective upon its approval by the Board. However, pursuant to Section 103 of the *Canada Business Corporations Act* (the "CBCA")*,* the Board must submit the Advance Notice By-Law to the shareholders of the Company (the "Shareholders") at the next meeting of Shareholders (the "Shareholders Meeting"). At the Shareholders Meeting, Shareholders may, by ordinary resolution, confirm, reject or amend the Advance Notice By-Law. If the Advance Notice By-Law is confirmed or confirmed, as amended, by the Shareholders at the Shareholders Meeting, the Advance Notice By-Law will continue in effect in the form in which it was so confirmed. If the Advance Notice By-Law is rejected by Shareholders at the Shareholders Meeting, the Advance Notice By-Law will cease to be effective from the date of such rejection, and no subsequent resolution of the Board to make, amend or repeal a by-law of the Company having substantially the same purpose or effect may be effective until it is confirmed by the Shareholders. The Company expects to submit the Advance Notice By-Law to Shareholders at its next annual general meeting of Shareholders, which is expected to take place in September 2026.

The Advance Notice By-Law establishes a formal framework governing how Shareholders may nominate directors for election at annual or special meetings of Shareholders. Its purpose is to ensure an orderly, transparent nomination process by setting clear deadlines and detailed disclosure requirements. Subject to the CBCA, applicable securities laws and the articles of the Company, only individuals nominated in accordance with the Advance Notice By-Law are eligible for election at a meeting of Shareholders. Pursuant to the Advance Notice By-Law, nominations may be made (i) by the Board, (ii) by or at the direction or request of one or more Shareholders pursuant to a proposal made in accordance with the provisions of the CBCA, or a requisition of a Shareholders' meeting by one or more of the Shareholders made in accordance with the provisions of the CBCA, or (ii) by a Nominating Shareholder (as such term is defined in the Advance Notice By-Law) who meets ownership and procedural requirements contained in the Advance Notice By-Law.

To nominate a nominee for director, a Nominating Shareholder must, among other things, deliver a written notice containing specified information, as prescribed in the Advance Notice By-Law, to the Secretary of the Company as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· in the case of an annual meeting of Shareholders,
subject to limited exceptions, no later than the 90<sup>th</sup> day before the first anniversary of the previous year's annual
meeting of Shareholders; provided, however, if the date of the annual meeting of Shareholders is advanced more than 30 days prior to or
delayed by more than 30 days after the anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting of Shareholders, notice by the Shareholder
to be timely must be so received not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting of Shareholders
or, if later than the 90<sup>th</sup> day prior to such annual meeting of Shareholders, the 10<sup>th</sup> day following the day on which
public announcement of the date of such meeting of Shareholders is first made; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· in the case of a special meeting of Shareholders
called to elect directors, no later than the later of the 90<sup>th</sup> day prior to such special meeting of Shareholders or the 10<sup>th</sup>
day after the public announcement of the date of such special meeting of Shareholders.

Under the Advance Notice By-Law, adjournments or postponements of an annual or special meeting of Shareholders do not restart or extend the notice period referred to above.

A valid notice must include extensive information about both the proposed nominee and the Nominating Shareholder, including, among other things, all the information that would be required to be disclosed in a dissident's proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of directors pursuant to the CBCA, the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any applicable securities laws.

Shareholders must update their notice after the record date for the applicable meeting of Shareholders and again shortly before the meeting of Shareholders to ensure all information remains accurate. The Board retains discretion to waive any requirement of the Advance Notice By-Law.

The foregoing description of the Advance Notice By-Law is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Advance Notice By-Law, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

## Exhibit 3.1

**Exhibit 3.1**

**BY-LAW NO. 2<br> ADVANCE NOTICE BY-LAW**

A by-law relating generally to the advance notice requirements for the nomination of directors of **CANOPY GROWTH CORPORATION** (the "**Corporation**") is hereby made as follows:

**<u>I. Preamble</u>**

The purpose of this advance notice by-law (the "**Advance Notice By-Law**") is to establish the conditions and framework under which holders of voting securities of the Corporation may exercise their right to submit director nominations by fixing a deadline by which such nominations must be submitted by a shareholder of the Corporation prior to any annual or special meeting of shareholders, and sets forth the information that a shareholder must include in the notice to the Corporation for the notice to be in proper form.

It is the belief of the Corporation and its **Board** that this Advance Notice By-Law is beneficial to shareholders and other stakeholders and in the best interests of the Corporation. This Advance Notice By-Law will be subject to periodic review by the Corporation and, subject to the Act, will be revised to reflect any mandatory changes as required pursuant to applicable securities regulatory or stock exchange requirements and, at the discretion of the Board, amendments necessary to meet evolving industry standards and corporate practices.

**<u>II. Advance Notice of Nominations of Directors</u>**

1. **Nomination Procedures.** Subject only to the Act, applicable securities laws and the articles of
the Corporation, only persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set out in this Section 1 shall be eligible for
election as directors to the Board. Nominations of persons for election to the Board may only be made at an annual meeting of shareholders,
or at a special meeting of shareholders called for any purpose at which the election of directors is a matter specified in the notice
of meeting, as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) by or at the direction of the Board, including pursuant to a notice of meeting;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) by or at the direction or request of one or more shareholders pursuant to a proposal made in accordance
with the provisions of the Act, or a requisition of a shareholders' meeting by one or more of the shareholders made in accordance
with the provisions of the Act; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) by any person (a "**Nominating Shareholder**") who:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) at the close of business on the date of the giving of the notice provided for in Section 3 and on
the record date for notice of such meeting, is entered in the securities register of the Corporation as a holder of one or more shares
carrying the right to vote at such meeting or who beneficially owns shares that are entitled to be voted at such meeting and provides
evidence of such beneficial ownership to the Corporation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) complies with the notice procedures set forth below in this Advance Notice By-Law; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) complies with Rule 14a-19.

2. **Exclusive Means of Nominations.** For the avoidance of doubt, the procedures set forth in this Advance
Notice By-Law shall be the exclusive means for any person to bring nominations for election to the Board before any annual or special
meeting of shareholders of the Corporation.

3. **Timely Notice.** In addition to any other applicable requirements, for a nomination to be validly
made by a Nominating Shareholder, the Nominating Shareholder must deliver written notice compliant with Section 4 to the Secretary
at the principal executive offices of the Corporation on a timely basis as set forth in Section 3(a) or Section 3(b), as
applicable, and must update and supplement such written notice on a timely basis as set forth in Section 5:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) In the case of an annual meeting (including an annual and special meeting), to be timely, the written
notice required by this Section 3 must be received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later
than the close of business on the ninetieth (90th) day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting; provided,
however, that, subject to the last sentence of this Section 3, in the event that the date of the annual meeting is advanced more
than thirty (30) days prior to or delayed by more than thirty (30) days after the anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting,
notice by the shareholder to be timely must be so received not later than the close of business on the later of the ninetieth (90th) day
prior to such annual meeting or, if later than the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such annual meeting, the tenth (10th) day following the
day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event
that the number of directors to be elected to the Board at the annual meeting is increased effective after the time period for which nominations
would otherwise be due under this Section 3(a) and there is no public announcement by the Corporation naming the nominees for
the additional directorships at least one hundred (100) days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting,
a shareholder's notice required by this Section 3 shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for the
additional directorships, if it shall be received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than
the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Corporation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) In the case of a special meeting (which is not also an annual meeting) of shareholders called for the
purpose of electing directors (whether or not also called for the purpose of conducting other business), to be timely, the written notice
required by this Section 3 must be received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than
the close of business on the later of the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such special meeting or the tenth (10th) day following the day
on which the Corporation first makes a public announcement of the date of the special meeting at which directors are to be elected.

In no event shall an adjournment or a postponement of an annual meeting (or a special meeting at which directors are to be elected) for which notice has been given, or the public announcement thereof has been made, commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a shareholder's notice as described above.

4. **Proper Form of Notice.** To be in proper form, a Nominating Shareholder's notice must
be in writing and must set forth or be accompanied by, as applicable:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) as to each person whom the Nominating Shareholder proposes to nominate for election as director (a "**Proposed Nominee** "):

(if such date shall then have been made publicly available and shall have occurred) and as of the date of such notice;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) any derivatives or other economic or voting interests in the Corporation and any hedges implemented with
respect to the Nominating Shareholder's interests in the Corporation;

voting of any shares of the Corporation; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) any other information relating to such Nominating Shareholder that would be required to be disclosed in

pursuant to the Act, the U.S. Exchange Act or any applicable securities laws.
