**Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement**

On March 2, 2026, Tilray Brands UK Ltd ("**Tilray UK**"), a company registered in the United Kingdom and wholly owned and controlled by Tilray Brands, Inc. (the "**Company**"), entered into a Business and Asset Sale Agreement (the "**Purchase Agreement**"). Under the Purchase Agreement, Tilray UK acquired certain business operations and assets of BrewDog plc and certain of its subsidiary undertakings (collectively, the "**BrewDog Group**") through a pre-packaged administration process in Scotland under the Insolvency Act 1986, with the intent for Tilray UK to carry on the acquired business operations and assets as a going concern. The transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement closed on the same date as the date of the Purchase Agreement.

The Company has agreed to guarantee the obligations of Tilray UK under the terms of the Purchase Agreement. The aggregate purchase price for the acquired business and assets acquired is £33,000,000 (or approximately US $44.1 million). Substantially all liabilities of the BrewDog Group arising prior to the closing of the transaction will remain with the BrewDog Group and were not assumed by Tilray UK, subject to certain customary exceptions..

The acquisition includes the brewery located in Ellon, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, the on-line business, the retail business, 11 of the BrewDog strategic brewpubs in Scotland, England and Ireland and all the intellectual property rights relating to the BrewDog brand, including well known sub-brands such as Punk IPA, Hazy Jane, Wingman, Elvis Juice and Dead Pony Club.

**Tilray Brands Acquires BrewDog, a Leading Global Craft Brand, Creating a ~$500 Million Global Craft Beer and Beverage Platform**

*Accretive Acquisition of Select Assets Includes Global Brand, UK Brewing Operations and 11 Strategic Brewpubs* 

*Expected to Generate ~$200 Million in Annual Net Revenue and ~$6 - $8 Million of Adjusted EBITDA in Fiscal 2027*

*Tilray*'*s Global Consolidated Net Revenue Expected to Reach ~$1.2 Billion on an Annualized Basis<sup>1</sup>*

*Conference Call Scheduled for 12:30pm ET*

**NEW YORK & LONDON** — **March 2, 2026** — Tilray Brands, Inc. ("Tilray", "our", "we" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: TLRY; TSX: TLRY), a leading global lifestyle and consumer packaged goods company at the forefront of the beverage, cannabis and wellness industries, today completed the acquisition of certain highly strategic assets of BrewDog's global platform, including the global brand and related intellectual property, the UK brewing operations and eleven strategic brewpubs in the United Kingdom and Ireland, for a total consideration of £33 million. Tilray is separately negotiating to acquire certain BrewDog assets in the United States and Australia.

One of the world's most recognized names in craft beer, BrewDog is a brand-powered, vertically integrated beverage and hospitality platform. Founded in 2007, BrewDog quickly became one of the largest independent craft beer brands in the United Kingdom with its portfolio of iconic craft, premium and low & no alcohol beer brands, including Punk IPA, Hazy Jane, Lost Lager and Wingman. From its beginnings in the UK, it developed its strong global brand awareness through its global expansion via international breweries, localized brewpubs and strategic partnerships. For Tilray, the acquired asset portfolio presents a significant opportunity for growth in the UK and previously untapped international markets.

Irwin D. Simon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Tilray Brands, stated, "BrewDog is one of the most iconic, mission-driven craft beer brands in the UK. It helped redefine modern craft beer through bold innovation, fearless creativity and an unwavering commitment to great beer. What makes BrewDog truly special has always been its brewers, its brewpubs and its passionate community of beer fans. As we begin a new chapter for this great brand, our priority is to refocus BrewDog on the craft beer excellence that made it beloved in the first place and strategically invest to return the operations to profitable growth. BrewDog's future is bright, and we are committed to ensuring the brand continues to lead and inspire the global craft beer movement."

Mr. Simon continued, "Tilray's management brings operational and strategic expertise, a diversified global beverage infrastructure and a disciplined investment approach needed to unlock BrewDog's next phase of growth. In addition, my team and I have significant experience in the UK market where we previously built an ~ $1.5 billion consumer packaged goods business at my prior company with beloved brands, including Ella's Kitchen, Hartleys, Tilda, New Covent Garden and Linda McCartney. With the BrewDog acquisition, our total global beverage platform is expected to grow to ~$500 million in annual revenue, creating one of the largest diversified craft beverage platforms globally. Through this expanded platform, we see significant growth opportunity for BrewDog through broader distribution and the ability to invest back into brand and innovation, while introducing Tilray's complementary beverage brands into international markets. On a combined basis, we expect Tilray's diversified global business to reach ~$1.2 billion in annualized revenue<sup>1</sup>."

**Acquisition Advances Tilray**'**s Global Beverage Strategy**

Tilray has built a diversified beverage portfolio spanning craft beer, spirits, energy drinks, water and emerging categories. Expanding Tilray's established U.S. beverage brands into international markets is a strategic priority and a natural next phase of growth. The addition of BrewDog accelerates our ability to enter new markets by providing scaled brewing capacity outside the U.S., an established international distribution network and a premier brewpub and hospitality infrastructure in the UK and select international markets.

**Transaction Overview**

Under the terms of the transaction, Tilray paid £33 million in exchange for BrewDog's worldwide intellectual property, UK brewing operations and a portfolio of eleven premier and profitable brewpubs including Birmingham, Canary Wharf, Dogtap Ellon, Dublin, Edinburgh DogHouse, Lothian Road, Manchester, Paddington, Seven Dials, Tower Hill, and Waterloo. These brewing and related operating assets are expected to generate annual net revenue of ~$200 million and adjusted EBITDA of ~$6 - ~$8 million. The acquired business is expected to become cash flow positive beginning in fiscal 2027 as integration initiatives and operational efficiencies are realized. The proposed U.S. and Australia components of the acquisition will be subject to a separate purchase agreement to be negotiated by the parties and is expected to be finalized and closed in approximately 30 days.

Due to customary licensing transfer timelines associated with brewing operations, Tilray does not anticipate a meaningful EBITDA contribution in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, and brewing revenues in early fiscal 2027 may temporarily reflect timing differences related to license transfers following closing.

**Advisors**

Jefferies LLC acted as financial advisor, and Proskauer Rose LLP acted as external legal counsel to Tilray Brands.

**Conference Call Details**

Tilray Brands will host a live teleconference today, Monday, March 2, 2026, at 12:30pm Eastern Time to discuss the transaction. Investors may join the live event through the Events & <u>Presentations</u> section of Tilray's Investor Relations website. A replay will be available and archived on the Company's website.
