MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR 

GENERAL PROXY RELATED INFORMATION 

Management Solicitation 
 This Management
Information Circular (this “Circular”) is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the management of Canopy Growth Corporation (the “Corporation”, “Canopy” or “Canopy
Growth”) for use at a special meeting (the “Meeting”) of the shareholders of the Corporation (collectively, the “Shareholders” or individually, a “Shareholder”) that will be held at Smiths
Falls Memorial Community Centre, Community Hall, 2nd Floor, 71 Cornelia St. W., Smiths Falls, Ontario, K7A 2H7 on July 30th, 2018 at the hour of 10:00 AM (Eastern time) for the following purposes:

Schedule “A” to this Circular, ratifying, confirming, and approving certain amendments to the Corporation’s omnibus incentive plan (a copy of the proposed Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan is set out in Schedule
“B” to this Circular), as more fully described in the section of this Circular entitled “Particulars of Matters to be Acted Upon – 1. Omnibus Incentive Plan”; and 

 

	 	2.	 to consider, and, if deemed advisable, pass a special resolution, the full text of which is set out in

as more fully described in the section of this Circular entitled “Particulars of Matters to be Acted Upon – 2. Stock Split”. 

This solicitation is made by the management of the Corporation. It is expected that the solicitation will primarily be by mail. Proxies may
also be solicited personally or by telephone by regular employees of and by agents engaged by the Corporation at nominal cost. In addition, Canopy has retained the services of Shorecrest Group Ltd. to solicit proxies for a fee of approximately
$20,000 plus a per call fee for retail shareholder calls and Shorecrest will be reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. The cost of solicitation will be borne
by the Corporation. Except as otherwise stated, the information contained herein is given as of June 13th, 2018.  

The form of proxy (the “Proxy”) forwarded to Shareholders with the Notice of Meeting confers discretionary authority upon the
proxy nominees with respect to amendments or variations of matters identified in the Notice of Meeting or other matters which may properly come before the Meeting.  

Registered Shareholders – Voting by Proxy 

The persons named in the enclosed form of proxy for the Meeting are officers of the Corporation. 

A registered holder of Shares has the right to appoint some other person, who need not be a Shareholder, to represent the Shareholder at the Meeting by
striking out the names of the persons designated in the accompanying form of proxy and by inserting such other person’s name in the blank space provided or by executing another proper form of proxy. 

Completed forms of proxy must be received by Computershare Investor Services Inc., the transfer agent of the Corporation, at
100 University Ave., 8th Floor, Toronto, Ontario M5J 2Y1 attention Proxy Department in the enclosed envelope, not later than 10:00 a.m. (Eastern time) on July 26, 2018. Late 

  
 -1- 

 
proxies may be accepted or rejected by the Chairman of the meeting in his sole discretion, and the Chairman is under no obligation to accept or reject any particular proxy. 

The form of proxy affords the registered Shareholder an opportunity to specify that the shares registered in his or her name shall be voted
for or against the matters to come before the Meeting, as applicable. 
 On any ballot that may be called for, the shares represented by
proxies in favour of management nominees will be voted for or against the matters to come before the Meeting in accordance with the instructions given in such proxies and, accordingly, if the Shareholder specifies a choice with respect to any matter
to be acted upon, the shares will be voted accordingly. 
 In respect of proxies in which the Shareholders have not specified that the proxy
nominees are required to vote for or against the matters scheduled to come before the Meeting, the shares represented by the proxies in favour of management nominees will be voted for the matters described in the Notice of Meeting. 

Management knows of no matters scheduled to come before the Meeting other than the matters referred to in the Notice of Meeting. However, if
any other matters which are not now known to management should properly come before the Meeting, the shares represented by proxies in favour of management nominees will be voted on such matters in accordance with the best judgment of the proxy
nominees. 
 A proxy given by a registered Shareholder for use at the Meeting may be revoked at any time prior to its use. In addition to
revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a proxy may be revoked by an instrument in writing or, if the Shareholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal or by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized. Any such instrument revoking
a proxy must be deposited at the registered office of the Corporation, at 515 Legget Drive, Suite 800, Ottawa, Ontario K2K 3G4 Attention: Chief Financial Officer, any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting,
or an adjournment thereof, or deposited with the Chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof. If the instrument of revocation is deposited with the Chairman on the day of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof, the
instrument will not be effective with respect to any matter on which a vote has already been cast pursuant to such proxy. 
 Non-Registered Holders – Voting Instruction Form 
 Only registered holders of Shares or the
persons they appoint as their proxies are permitted to vote at the Meeting. Many Shareholders are not registered Shareholders (“Beneficial Shareholders”) because the Shares they own are not registered in their names but are instead
either (i) registered in the name of an intermediary (the “Intermediary”) that the Beneficial Shareholder deals with in respect of the Shares, such as, among others, brokerage firms, banks, trust companies, securities dealers
or brokers and trustees or administrators of self-administered RRSPs, RRIFs, RESPs and similar plans, or (ii) in the name of a clearing agency (such as the Canadian Depository for Securities Limited) of which the Intermediary is a participant.
In accordance with the requirements of National Instrument 54-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators, the Corporation has distributed copies of the meeting materials to Intermediaries and clearing
agencies for onward distribution to Beneficial Shareholders. 
 Intermediaries are required to forward the meeting materials to Beneficial
Shareholders unless a Beneficial Shareholder has waived the right to receive them. In some cases, where a beneficial shareholder has elected, the holder will receive materials electronically rather than by mail. Intermediaries often use service
companies to forward the meeting materials to Beneficial Shareholders. If you are a Beneficial Shareholder, your name and address will appear on the voting instruction form sent to you by an Intermediary (bank, broker or trust company). A Beneficial
Shareholder may vote or appoint a proxy by mail, phone, fax or on the Internet, as applicable, in accordance with the voting instruction form. Your Intermediary, as registered holder, will submit the vote or proxy appointment to

  
 2 

 
the Corporation on your behalf. Without specific instructions, brokers and their agents and nominees are prohibited from voting shares for the broker’s clients. Therefore, each Beneficial
Shareholder should ensure that voting instructions are communicated to the appropriate person well in advance of the Meeting. You must submit your voting instruction form in accordance with the instructions and within the time limits set by your
Intermediary. If you or a person you designate plan to attend the meeting and vote you must appoint yourself or that person as proxy using the voting instruction form. Beneficial Shareholders should carefully follow the instructions of their
Intermediary, including those regarding when and where the voting instructions form is to be delivered. 
 A Beneficial Shareholder may
revoke a form of proxy or voting instructions form given to an Intermediary by contacting the Intermediary through which the Beneficial Shareholder’s Shares are held and following the instructions of the Intermediary respecting the revocation
of proxies. In order to ensure than an Intermediary acts upon a revocation of a proxy form or voting instruction form, the written notice should be received by the Intermediary well in advance of the Meeting. 

These securityholder materials are being sent to both registered and non-registered owners of the
securities. If you are a non-registered owner, and the issuer or its agent has sent these materials directly to you, your name and address and information about your holdings of securities, have been obtained
in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the intermediary holding on your behalf. 
 If you have questions, you
may contact Canopy’s proxy solicitation agent, Shorecrest Group, by telephone at 1-888-637-5789 (toll free in North America)
or 1-647-931-7454 (collect outside North America), or by email at contact@shorecrestgroup.com. 

Notice and Access 
 The Corporation is
sending proxy-related materials to Beneficial Shareholders using Notice and Access. Notice and Access is set of rules for reducing the volume of materials that must be physically mailed to Shareholders by posting the information circular and
additional materials online. Shareholders will still receive the Notice of Meeting and may choose to receive a hard copy of this Circular and other materials. Details are included in the Notice of Meeting. This Circular, the Notice of Meeting, and
the associated form of proxy, are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and at http://www.canopygrowth.com/investors-events/. 
 Shareholders
are reminded to review these online materials when voting. Shareholders may choose to receive paper copies of such materials or obtain further information about Notice and Access by contacting Broadridge Investor Communication Solutions at the
toll-free number 1-877-907-7643. To obtain copies of materials after the meeting date, please contact the Corporation at the
toll-free number 1-855-368-4486. 

The Corporation intends to pay for intermediaries to forward to objecting Beneficial Shareholders under NI
54-101 the proxy-related materials and Form 54-101F7 - Request for Voting Instructions Made by Intermediary, and that in the case of an objecting Beneficial
Shareholder, the objecting Beneficial Shareholder will receive the materials. 
 PARTICULARS OF MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON 

1.    Omnibus Incentive Plan 

On August 8, 2017 the board of directors of the Corporation (the “Board”) approved the 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan of
the Corporation (the “Original Omnibus Plan”). Subsequently, at the annual general 

  
 3 

 
meeting of the Shareholders on September 15, 2017, the Shareholders ratified, confirmed and approved the Original Omnibus Plan. 

Pursuant to the Original Omnibus Plan, the Corporation is able to issue share-based long-term incentives. All directors, officers, employees
and independent contractors of the Corporation and/or its affiliates (“Company Personnel”) are eligible to receive awards of common share purchase options (“Options”) restricted share units
(“RSUs”), deferred share units (“DSUs”), stock appreciation rights (“Stock Appreciation Rights”), restricted stock (“Restricted Stock”), performance awards (“Performance
Awards”) or other stock based awards (collectively, the “Awards”) under the Original Omnibus Plan. 
 At the
Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider and approve an ordinary resolution the full text of which is set out in Schedule “A”, approving certain amendments to the Original Omnibus Plan. A copy of the Original Omnibus Plan, as
amended and restated to give effect to the amendments proposed herein (the Original Omnibus Plan, as so amended and restated, being the “Amended and Restated Omnibus Plan”) is attached as Schedule “B” to this Circular.

 Proposed Amendments 
 The maximum
number of Shares available for issuance under the Amended and Restated Omnibus Plan shall not exceed 15% of the issued and outstanding Shares from time to time when taken together with all other Security Based Compensation Arrangements (as such term
is defined in the Amended and Restated Omnibus Plan) of the Corporation. 
 The Amended and Restated Omnibus Plan, if approved, also
specifies the default circumstances in which Awards shall be exercised, vested, paid or forfeited in the event a participant ceases to provide service to the Corporation, which default circumstances are subject to variation by the Compensation and
Governance Committee in respect of specific Awards granted from time to time. Except as otherwise provided by the Compensation and Governance Committee in the terms of an award grant agreement for a participant: 

 

	 	(a)	 the term of each Option will be 6 years from the date of the grant thereof; 

 

	 	(b)	 the Options will vest and become exercisable as follows: (i) as to
one-third on the first anniversary of the date of the grant thereof; (ii) as to one-third on the second anniversary of the date of the grant thereof; and
(iii) as to the final one-third on the third anniversary of the date of the grant thereof; 

  

	 	(c)	 if a participant resigns their office or employment, or the employment of a participant is terminated, or a
participant’s contract as a consultant terminates, only the portion of the Options that have vested and are exercisable at the date of any such resignation or termination may be exercised by the participant during the period ending 90 days
after the date of resignation or termination, as applicable, after which period all Options expire; and 

  

	 	(d)	 any Options, whether vested or unvested, will expire immediately upon the participant being dismissed from
their office or employment for cause or on a participant’s contract as a consultant being terminated before its normal termination date for cause, including where a participant resigns their office or employment or terminates their contract as
a consultant after being requested to do so by the Corporation as an alternative to being dismissed or terminated by the Corporation for cause. 

The Amended and Restated Omnibus Plan, if approved, also contains certain amendments to conform the terms of the Amended and Restated Omnibus
Plan with applicable United States securities laws.

 Rationale for Amendments 

As the Corporation continues to expand and increases the number of its employees and independent contractors, an increase in the maximum
number of Shares issuable under its Security Based Compensation Arrangements allows the Corporation to further conserve its cash resources. The Corporation’s compensation program provides total compensation for employees in various roles that
is comprised of base salary (fixed cash amount), short-term performance incentives (variable cash award) and lastly, long-term “at risk” equity-based incentives (stock options) that align employees’ interests with those of
shareholders. The use of equity-based compensation as part of a competitive total compensation package for employees in certain roles allows the Corporation to offer lower base salaries thereby lowering its fixed cash compensation costs. As a
cannabis related company, with limited access to debt financing, Canopy Growth is largely dependent upon equity financing to provide the capital necessary to grow its business. With a view to extending the cash resources that the company has
available, it is important for the Corporation to be prudent in the management of its fixed cash expenses across all areas of the company’s operations, including in the area of employee compensation. The Corporation has recently expanded its
base of employees and anticipates further expansion in the near future as it continues to develop existing and anticipated new lines of business. Accordingly, the Corporation wishes to ensure there is a sufficient number of Shares available for
issuance under its Security Based Compensation Arrangements to provide for equity-based employee compensation into the future. 
 If the
Compensation and Governance Committee does not set forth in the terms of an award grant agreement the circumstances in which such Awards shall be exercised, vested, paid or forfeited in the event a participant ceases to provide service to the
Corporation, the proposed amendments provide default circumstances for all award grant agreements. 
 In light of the Corporation’s
recent listing on the New York Stock Exchange, the Amended and Restated Omnibus Plan also contains certain amendments to conform the terms of the Amended and Restated Omnibus Plan with applicable United States securities laws. 

The Amended and Restated Omnibus Plan 

The Amended and Restated Omnibus Plan serves several purposes for the Corporation. One purpose is to develop the interests of Company
Personnel in the growth and development of the Corporation by providing such persons with the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Corporation. All Company Personnel are considered eligible to be selected to receive an Award under
the Amended and Restated Omnibus Plan. Another purpose is to attract and retain key talent and valuable Company Personnel, who are necessary to the Corporation’s success and reputation, with a competitive compensation mechanism. Finally, the
Amended and Restated Omnibus Plan aligns the interests of the participants with those of Shareholders by devising a compensation mechanism which encourages the prudent maximization of distributions to Shareholders and long-term growth. The material
terms of the Amended and Restated Omnibus Plan are summarized below. 
 As of June 13th, 2018, there were an aggregate of 17,006,079 Options
outstanding and unexercised under the Original Omnibus Plan (including those issued under the former Stock Option Plan and which are now governed by the Original Omnibus Plan). Additionally, the Corporation has set aside a pool of 118,000
Shares for issuance as RSUs and as of June 13th, 2018, there were an aggregate of 17,584 RSUs outstanding and unexercised under the Original Omnibus Plan. If the amendments to the
Original Omnibus Plan are approved at the Meeting, an additional 13,142,310 Shares will be reserved for issuance under the Amended and Restated Omnibus Plan which, together with the Shares underlying the outstanding and unexercised Options currently
outstanding and the above-described RSU pool, represents 15% of the total outstanding Shares. The Amended and Restated Omnibus Plan is administered by the Board or a committee of the Board. The Amended and Restated Omnibus Plan must be renewed every
three years according to the TSX rules. 

  
 5 

 All Awards granted under the Amended and Restated Omnibus Plan are non-transferable. The maximum number of Shares subject to any Award which may be granted under the Amended and Restated Omnibus Plan during any fiscal year of the Corporation to any participant shall be 1,000,000
Shares per type of Award provided that the maximum number of Shares for all types of Awards granted to any Participant does not exceed 1,000,000 Shares during any fiscal year of the Corporation. 

The number of Shares issuable to insiders, at any time, under all Security Based Compensation Arrangements of the Corporation, may not exceed
10% of the Corporation’s issued and outstanding Shares; and the number of Shares issued to insiders within any one-year period, under all Security Based Compensation Arrangements of the Corporation, may
not exceed 10% of the Corporation’s issued and outstanding Shares. 
 The equity value of Options granted to a non-employee director, within a one-year period, pursuant to the Amended and Restated Omnibus Plan shall not exceed $100,000 and the aggregate equity value of all Awards, that
are eligible to be settled in Shares granted to a non-employee director, within a one-year period, pursuant to all Security Based Compensation Arrangements shall not
exceed $150,000. 
 In the event that a participant holds 20% or more of the issued and outstanding Shares or the settlement of an Award in
Shares would cause the participant to hold 20% or more of the issued and outstanding Shares, such participant shall only be granted Awards that can be settled in cash. 

The Compensation and Governance Committee may specify the circumstances in which Awards shall be exercised, vested, paid or forfeited in the
event a participant ceases to provide service to the Corporation or any Affiliate prior to the end of a performance period or exercise or settlement of such Award. If no such circumstances are specified in the terms of an award grant agreement for a
participant, the following terms will apply: 
  

	 	(a)	 if a participant resigns their office or employment, or the employment of a participant is terminated, or a
participant’s contract as a consultant terminates, only the portion of the Options that have vested and are exercisable at the date of any such resignation or termination may be exercised by the participant during the period ending 90 days
after the date of resignation or termination, as applicable, after which period all Options expire; and 

  

	 	(b)	 any Options, whether vested or unvested, will expire immediately upon the participant being dismissed from
their office or employment for cause or on a participant’s contract as a consultant being terminated before its normal termination date for cause, including where a participant resigns their office or employment or terminates their contract as
a consultant after being requested to do so by the Corporation as an alternative to being dismissed or terminated by the Corporation for cause. 

Subject to certain exceptions included in the Amended and Restated Omnibus Plan, the occurrence of a Change in Control (as such term is
defined in the Amended and Restated Omnibus Plan) will not result in the vesting of unvested Awards nor the lapse of any period of restriction pertaining to any Restricted Stock or RSUs (“Unvested Awards”). Subject to the
Compensation and Governance Committee reasonably determining otherwise, for the period of 24 months following a Change in Control, where a participant’s employment or term of office or engagement is terminated for any reason, other than for
cause: (i) any Unvested Awards as at the date of such termination shall be deemed to have vested, and any period of restriction shall be deemed to have lapsed, as at the date of such termination and shall become payable as at the date of
termination; and (ii) the level of achievement of performance goals for any Unvested Awards that are deemed to have vested pursuant to (i) above, shall be based on the actual performance achieved at the end of the applicable period
immediately prior to the date of termination. 

  
 6 

 The Board may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate the Amended and Restated
Omnibus Plan and any outstanding Awards granted thereunder, in whole or in part, at any time without notice to or approval by the Shareholders of the Corporation, for any purpose whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following amendments to
the Amended and Restated Omnibus Plan require the approval of shareholders of the Corporation: (i) an increase in the maximum number of Shares that may be made the subject of Awards under the Amended and Restated Omnibus Plan; (ii) any
adjustment (other than as set out in the Amended and Restated Omnibus Plan) or amendment that reduces or would have the effect of reducing the exercise price of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right previously granted under the Amended and Restated
Omnibus Plan, whether through amendment, cancellation or replacement grants, or other means (provided that, in such a case, insiders of the Corporation who benefit from such amendment are not eligible to vote their Shares in respect of the
approval); (iii) an increase in the limits on Awards that may be granted to any participant under the Amended and Restated Omnibus Plan; (iv) an extension of the term of an outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right beyond the expiry date
thereof; (v) permitting Options granted under the Amended and Restated Omnibus Plan to be transferrable other than for normal estate settlement purposes; and (vi) any amendment to the plan amendment provisions, subject to certain
exceptions included in the Amended and Restated Omnibus Plan. 
 Options 

The Original Omnibus Plan replaced the Corporation’s existing Stock Option Plan and no further Options have been granted under the Stock
Option Plan. If approved, all outstanding Options will be governed by the Amended and Restated Omnibus Plan. 
 The purchase price per Share
under an Option shall be determined by the Compensation and Governance Committee; provided, however, that, except subject to certain exceptions described in the Amended and Restated Omnibus Plan, such purchase price shall not be less than 100% of
the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Amended and Restated Omnibus Plan) of a Share on the date of grant of such Option. With the approval of the Compensation and Governance Committee, a participant may elect to exercise an Option, in whole or in
part, without payment of the aggregate Option price due on such exercise by electing to receive Shares equal in value to the difference between the Option price and the Fair Market Value on the date of exercise (any such exercise a “Cashless
Exercise”) computed in accordance with the Amended and Restated Omnibus Plan. 
 Except as otherwise provided by the Compensation
and Governance Committee in the terms of an award grant agreement for a participant, Options will vest and become exercisable as follows: (i) as to one-third on the first anniversary of the date of the
grant thereof; (ii) as to one-third on the second anniversary of the date of the grant thereof; and (iii) as to the final one-third on the third anniversary of
the date of the grant thereof. 
 The term of each Option shall be fixed by the Compensation and Governance Committee but shall not exceed 6
years from the date of grant thereof. Except as otherwise provided by the Compensation and Governance Committee in the terms of an award grant agreement for a participant, the term of each Option shall be 6 years from the date of the grant thereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to certain exceptions detailed in the Amended and Restated Omnibus Plan, if the term of an Option would otherwise expire during, or within ten business days of the expiration of a Blackout Period (as such
term is defined in the Amended and Restated Omnibus Plan) applicable to such participant, then the term of such Option shall be extended to the close of business on the tenth business day following the expiration of the Blackout Period. 

  
 7 

 RSUs 

The Amended and Restated Omnibus Plan provides the Compensation and Governance Committee with additional equity-based compensation options in
the form of RSUs, which provide “at risk” equity-based incentive that vests over a three-year period, adds a medium-term incentive option to the Corporation’s compensation program and may replace short-term cash based incentives
currently provided for in the Corporation’s compensation plan. RSUs may be granted as part of an employee’s “at risk” incentives and are considered “medium-term” incentives because they vest from one to three years from
the date of grant and any payments on the vesting dates are determined with reference to the market price of Shares on that date. 
 Shares
of Restricted Stock and RSUs shall be subject to such restrictions as the Compensation and Governance Committee may impose (including, without limitation, any limitation on the right to receive any dividend or dividend equivalent or other right),
which restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such time or times, in such installments or otherwise, as the Compensation and Governance Committee may deem appropriate. 

DSUs 
 The Amended and Restated Omnibus
Plan also provides the Compensation and Governance Committee with the authority to grant DSUs to participants that will provide members of the Board with compensation opportunities which are compatible with shareholder interests, encourages a sense
of ownership and rewards significant achievements. The benefit of holding DSUs is realized in the form of a cash payment to the member of the Board that is only made after the termination or retirement of the member from the Board or after their
death. The form of compensation provided by the DSU plan provides Canopy Growth with the ability to reduce Board cash compensation costs in the short-term, thereby adhering to the Corporation’s compensation principle of prudently managing the
Corporation’s equity funded cash resources and is intended to align Board compensation with shareholder interests. 
 DSUs vest
immediately upon grant but may only be redeemed upon a DSU holder’s termination (not later than 10 business days prior to the end of the 90-day period following the date of termination), retirement or
death. 
 DSUs may be satisfied by delivery of Shares, other Awards, or a combination thereof, as determined by the Compensation and
Governance Committee at the date of grant or thereafter. The Compensation and Governance Committee, in its discretion, may award cash, shares, other Awards or other property equal in value to dividends paid with respect to Shares (“Dividend
Equivalent”) with respect to Awards of DSUs. The entitlements on such Dividend Equivalents will not be available until the expiration of the deferral period for the Award of DSUs. 

Stock Appreciation Rights 
 The
Compensation and Governance Committee is authorized to grant Stock Appreciation Rights to participants under the Amended and Restated Omnibus Plan, whereby such Stock Appreciation Right is equal to the excess of (i) the Fair Market Value of one
Share on the date of exercise over (ii) the grant price of the right on the date of grant, or if granted in connection with an outstanding Option on the date of grant of the related Option, as specified by the Compensation and Governance
Committee in its sole discretion, which, subject to certain exceptions, shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of one Share on such date of grant of the right or the related Option, as the case may be. 

  
 8 

 Performance Awards 

Under the Amended and Restated Omnibus Plan, the Compensation and Governance Committee may grant a
non-transferable Performance Award to a participant payable upon the attainment of specific Performance Goals (as such term is defined in the Amended and Restated Omnibus Plan). 

If the Performance Award is payable in cash, it may be paid upon the attainment of the relevant Performance Goals either in cash or in shares
of Restricted Stock (based on the then current Fair Market Value of such Shares), as determined by the Compensation and Governance Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion. 

Upon a Participant’s termination of service for any reason during the Performance Period (as such term is defined in the Amended and
Restated Omnibus Plan) for a given Performance Award, the Performance Award in question will vest or be forfeited in accordance with the terms and conditions established by the Compensation and Governance Committee at grant. Based on service,
performance and/or such other factors or criteria, if any, as the Compensation and Governance Committee may determine, the Compensation and Governance Committee may, at or after grant, due to such service, performance and/or such other factors or
criteria relating to the participant’s performance to date accelerate on a pro rata basis the vesting of all or any part of any Performance Award. 

When and if Performance Awards become payable, a participant having received the grant of such units shall be entitled to receive payment from
the Corporation in settlement of such units in cash, Shares of equivalent value (based on the Fair Market Value), in some combination thereof, or in any other form determined by the Compensation and Governance Committee at its sole discretion. 

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to pass an ordinary resolution, the full text of which is set out in Schedule “A” to this
Circular approving the Amended and Restated Omnibus Plan. In order to be adopted, the resolution must be passed by a simple majority of the votes cast in person or by proxy, at the Meeting, of Shareholders. 

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE RESOLUTION APPROVING THE AMENDMENTS TO THE ORIGINAL OMNIBUS INCENTIVE
PLAN. IT IS INTENDED THAT THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY PROXIES IN FAVOUR OF MANAGEMENT NOMINEES WILL BE VOTED IN FAVOUR OF THE AMENDED AND RESTATED OMNIBUS PLAN RESOLUTION IN THE ABSENCE OF DIRECTION TO THE CONTRARY FROM THE SHAREHOLDER APPOINTING
THEM. AN AFFIRMATIVE VOTE OF A MAJORITY OF THE VOTES CAST AT THE MEETING IS SUFFICIENT FOR APPROVAL OF THE AMENDED AND RESTATED OMNIBUS PLAN RESOLUTION. 

2.    Stock Split 

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider and approve a special resolution (the “Stock Split Resolution”) the
full text of which is set out in Schedule “C”, authorizing the Corporation, at the discretion of the Board, to amend the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation to divide number of the issued and outstanding Shares (the “Stock
Split”) on the basis of a range between two post-split Shares for every-one pre-split Share and three post-Split Shares
for-every one pre-split Share (the “Stock Split Range”). If the Stock Split is approved by Shareholders, the Board may, in its discretion, decide not to
implement the Stock Split and therefore not file any amendment to the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation to effect such Stock Split. 

  
 9 

 The Board believes that having a greater number of Shares at a reduced price per share will
increase investor interest in the Corporation by bringing the trading price into a more accessible range for retail investors, encouraging a wider distribution of the Shares and enhancing liquidity.  

As provided in the Stock Split Resolution, the Board may, in its sole discretion and without further approval of the Shareholders, fix the
date of the Stock Split or may elect not to act on or carry out the Stock Split. In addition, the Stock Split will not be effected without the final approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange. 

The Share Split will increase the number of Shares issued and outstanding in proportion with the subdivision ratio and is expected to
initially reduce the market price per Share on a basis proportionate to the subdivision ratio. The Share Consolidation will affect all Shareholders uniformly and will not affect any holder of Share’s percentage ownership interest in the
Corporation. In addition, the Stock Split will not change the rights of holders of Shares. Each Share outstanding after the Stock Split will be entitled to one vote and will be fully paid and non-assessable.
The number of Options currently outstanding under the Amended and Restated Omnibus Plan and other exchangeable or convertible securities will be subdivided in accordance with the terms of the respective securities at the same subdivision ratio as
determined by the Board. These adjustments will not take effect until the Stock Split has been approved by Shareholders and implemented by the Corporation. 

Under existing Canadian income tax law and taking into account all published proposals and amendments, the proposed Stock Split will not
result in taxable income or in any gain or loss to the holders of Shares. In computing any gain or loss on the disposition of the Shares, holders of Shares will be required to reduce the adjusted cost base of each Share to an amount equal to half of
the adjusted cost base of each Share currently held. 
 If approved and all regulatory approvals are obtained, upon a decision being made by
the Board to implement the Stock Split using the above Stock Split Range, the Shares will begin to trade on a subdivided basis at such time as the Board deems appropriate. If approved, the Stock Split will be completed by the “push out”
method. Accordingly, Shareholders of record on such date as the Board deems appropriate will retain the Shares that they currently hold and will be provided with certificates representing the additional Shares issued in connection with the
Stock Split. 
 At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to pass a special resolution, the full text of which is set out in
Schedule “C” to this Circular approving the Stock Split. In order to be adopted, the special resolution must be passed by a majority of not less than two thirds of the votes cast in person or by proxy, at the Meeting, of Shareholders.

 THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE SPECIAL RESOLUTION APPROVING THE STOCK SPLIT. IT IS INTENDED THAT
THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY PROXIES IN FAVOUR OF MANAGEMENT NOMINEES WILL BE VOTED IN FAVOUR OF THE STOCK SPLIT RESOLUTION IN THE ABSENCE OF DIRECTION TO THE CONTRARY FROM THE SHAREHOLDER APPOINTING THEM. AN AFFIRMATIVE VOTE OF A MAJORITY OF NOT LESS
THAN TWO THIRDS OF THE VOTES CAST AT THE MEETING IS SUFFICIENT FOR APPROVAL OF THE STOCK SPLIT RESOLUTION.

available number of Shares issuable under the Amended and Restated Omnibus Plan. Any exercises of Options will make new grants available under the Amended and Restated Omnibus Plan, effectively resulting in a
re-loading of the number of Options available to grant. As at March 31, 2018, there were 199,557,207 Shares issued and outstanding.

with) Awards, including whether an Award shall be a Canadian Award or a U.S. Award; (iv) authorize and approve the applicable form and determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, of any Award granted
hereunder (including, but not limited to, the exercise or purchase price (if any), any restriction or limitation, any vesting schedule or acceleration thereof, or any forfeiture restrictions or waiver thereof, regarding any Award and the Shares
relating thereto, based on such factors, if any, as the Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion); (v) determine whether, to what extent, and under what circumstances Awards may be settled or exercised in cash, Shares, other securities, or
other Awards, or canceled, forfeited or suspended, and the method or methods by which Awards may be settled, exercised, canceled, forfeited or suspended; (vi) determine whether, to what extent, and under what circumstances cash, Shares, other
securities, other Awards, and other amounts payable with respect to an Award under the Plan shall be deferred either automatically or at the election of the holder thereof or of the Committee, taking into consideration the requirements of
Section 409A of the Code; (vii) determine whether to require a Participant, as a condition of the granting of any Award, to not sell or otherwise dispose of shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Award for a period of time as
determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, following the date of the acquisition of such Award; (viii) to determine whether an Option is an Incentive Stock Option or Non-Qualified Option;
(ix) interpret and administer the Plan and any instrument or agreement relating to, or Award made under, the Plan; (x) establish, amend, suspend or waive such rules and regulations and appoint such agents as it shall deem appropriate for
the proper administration of the Plan; (xi) to permit accelerated vesting or lapse of restrictions of any Award at any time; and (xii) make any other determination and take any other action that the Committee deems necessary or desirable
for the administration of the Plan. 
 (c)     All decisions of the Committee shall be final, conclusive
and binding upon all parties, including the Corporation, the shareholders and the Participants. 
 (d)
    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee shall not have any discretion under this Section 4 or any other provision of the Plan that would modify the terms or conditions of any (i) Performance Goal or waive the
satisfaction thereof with respect to any Award that is intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code if the exercise of such discretion would cause the Award not to so qualify,
(ii) any other Award that is intended to be exempt from the definition of “salary deferral arrangement” in the ITA if the exercise of such discretion would cause the Award to not be or cease to be exempt; or (iii) any Option
granted to a 

  
 7 

 
Canadian Grantee if the exercise of such discretion would cause the Option to not be or cease to be governed by section 7 of the ITA. The Committee will also exercise its discretion in good faith
in accordance with the Corporation’s intention that the terms of Awards and the modifications or waivers permitted hereby are in compliance with applicable law and the rule of the Stock Exchanges. 

(e)     No member of the Committee or the Board generally shall be liable for any action or determination
made in good faith pursuant to the Plan or any instrument of grant evidencing any Award granted under the Plan. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Corporation shall indemnify and save harmless, and shall advance and reimburse the expenses
of, each Person made, or threatened to be made, a party to any action or proceeding in respect of the Plan by reason of the fact that such Person is or was a member of the Committee or is or was a member of the Board in respect of any claim, loss,
damage or expense (including legal fees) arising therefrom. 
  

	Section 5.	 Shares Available for Awards; Per Person Limitations. 

(a)     Subject to adjustment as provided below, the maximum number of Shares available for issuance under
the Plan shall not exceed 15% of the issued and outstanding Shares from time-to-time when taken together with all other Security Based Compensation Arrangements of the
Corporation; provided that all Shares reserved and available under the Plan shall constitute the maximum number of Shares that can be issued for Incentive Stock Options. Every three years after the Effective Date of the Plan, all unallocated Awards
under the Plan shall be submitted for approval to the Board and the shareholders of the Corporation. With respect to Stock Appreciation Rights settled in Shares, upon settlement, only the number of Shares delivered to a Participant (based on the
difference between the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to such Stock Appreciation Right on the date such Stock Appreciation Right is exercised and the exercise price of each Stock Appreciation Right on the date such Stock Appreciation Right
was awarded) shall count against the aggregate and individual share limitations set forth under this Section 5. If any Option, Stock Appreciation Right or Other Stock-Based Awards granted under the Plan expires, terminates or is canceled for
any reason without having been exercised in full, the number of Shares underlying any unexercised Award shall again be available for the purpose of Awards under the Plan. If any shares of Restricted Stock, Performance Awards or Other Stock-Based
Awards denominated in Shares awarded under the Plan to a Participant are forfeited for any reason, the number of forfeited shares of Restricted Stock, Performance Awards or Other Stock-Based Awards denominated in Shares shall again be available for
purposes of Awards under the Plan. Any Award under the Plan settled in cash shall not be counted against the foregoing maximum share limitations. On exercise of any Option, Stock Appreciation Right or Other Stock-Based Awards granted under the Plan,
the number of Shares underlying such Award shall again be available for the purpose of Awards under the Plan. Any Shares subject to any Award or award granted under a Prior Plan that is outstanding on the date which this Plan was approved by
shareholders of the Corporation (or any portion thereof) that has expired or is forfeited, surrendered, cancelled or otherwise terminated prior to, or that is otherwise settled so that there is no, issuance or transfer of such Shares shall not be
counted against the foregoing maximum share limitations. 
 (b)     Any Shares delivered pursuant to an
Award may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued Shares or Shares acquired by the Corporation. 
 (c)
    To the extent required by Section 162(m) of the Code for Awards under the Plan to qualify as “performance-based compensation,” the following individual Participant limitations shall apply: 

(i)     Subject to Section 21 below, the maximum number of Shares subject to any Award of Options,
or Stock Appreciation Rights, shares of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units or Other Stock-Based Awards for which the grant of such Award or the lapse of the relevant restriction 

  
 8 

 
period is subject to the attainment of Performance Goals in accordance with Section 10 which may be granted under the Plan during any fiscal year of the Corporation to any Participant shall
be 1,000,000 Shares per type of Award (which shall be subject to any further increase or decrease pursuant to Section 5(d)) provided that the maximum number of Shares for all types of Awards granted to any Participant does not exceed 1,000,000
Shares (which shall be subject to any further increase or decrease pursuant to Section 5(d)) during any fiscal year of the Corporation. If a Stock Appreciation Right is granted in tandem with an Option, it shall apply against the
Participant’s individual share limitations for both Stock Appreciation Rights and Options. 
 (ii)
    Subject to Section 5(g), Section 5(h) and Section 21, there are no annual individual share limitations applicable to Participants on Options, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units or Other Stock-Based Awards
for which the grant, vesting or payment (as applicable) of any such Award is not subject to the attainment of Performance Goals. 

(iii)     The individual Participant limitations set forth in this Section 5(c) shall be cumulative;
that is, to the extent that Shares for which Awards are permitted to be granted to a Participant during a fiscal year are not covered by an Award to such Participant in a fiscal year, the number of Shares available for Awards to such Participant
shall automatically increase in the subsequent fiscal years during the term of the Plan until used. 
  

	 	(d)	 Changes 

(i)     The existence of the Plan and the Awards granted hereunder shall not affect in any way the right
or power of the Board or the shareholders of the Corporation to make or authorize (a) any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in the Corporation’s capital structure or its business, (b) any arrangement, merger
or consolidation of the Corporation or any Affiliate, (c) any issuance of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stock ahead of or affecting the Shares (d) the dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation or any Affiliate,
(e) any sale or transfer of all or part of the assets or business of the Corporation or any Affiliate or (f) any other corporate act or proceeding. 

(ii)     If there shall occur any such change in the capital structure of the Corporation by reason of
any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, extraordinary dividend, subdivision, combination or reclassification of shares that may be issued under the Plan, any recapitalization, any arrangement, any merger, any consolidation, any spin
off, any reorganization or any partial or complete liquidation, or any other corporate transaction or event having an effect similar to any of the foregoing (a “Corporate Event”), then (i) the aggregate number and/or kind of
shares that thereafter may be issued under the Plan, (ii) the number and/or kind of shares or other property (including cash) to be issued upon exercise of an outstanding Award granted under the Plan, and/or (iii) the purchase price
thereof, shall be appropriately adjusted. In addition, if there shall occur any change in the capital structure or the business of the Corporation that is not a Corporate Event (an “Other Extraordinary Event”), including by reason
of any ordinary dividend (whether cash or stock), any conversion, any adjustment, any issuance of any class of securities convertible or exercisable into, or exercisable for, any class of stock, or any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of
the Corporation’s assets or business, then the Committee, in its sole discretion, may adjust any Award and make such other adjustments to the Plan. Any adjustment pursuant to this Section 5(d) shall be consistent with the applicable
Corporate Event or the applicable Other Extraordinary Event, as the case may be, and in such manner as the Committee may, in its sole discretion, deem appropriate and equitable to prevent substantial dilution or enlargement of the rights granted to,
or available for, Participants under the Plan. Any such adjustment determined by the Committee shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Corporation and all Participants and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and
permitted assigns. Except as expressly provided in this Section 5(d) or in the applicable Award Agreement, a Participant shall have no rights by reason of any Corporate Event or any Other Extraordinary Event. 

  
 9 

 (iii)     Fractional shares of Shares resulting from
any adjustment in Awards pursuant to Section 5(d)(i) or Section 5(d)(ii) shall be aggregated until, and eliminated at, the time of exercise by rounding-down for fractions less than one-half and rounding-up for fractions equal to or greater than one- half. No cash settlements shall be made with respect to fractional shares eliminated by rounding. Notice of any
adjustment shall be given by the Committee to each Participant whose Award has been adjusted and such adjustment (whether or not such notice is given) shall be effective and binding for all purposes of the Plan. 

(e)     Shares underlying Awards that can only be settled in cash shall not reduce the number of Shares
remaining available for issuance under the Plan. 
 (f)     Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to
the contrary, if authorized but previously unissued Shares are issued under the Plan, such shares shall not be issued for a consideration that is less than as permitted under applicable law and the rules of the TSX. 

(g)     (i) The equity value of Options granted to a
Non-Employee Director, within a one-year period, pursuant to the Plan shall not exceed $100,000; and (ii) the aggregate equity value of all awards, that are
eligible to be settled in Shares granted to a Non-Employee Director, within a one-year period, pursuant to all Security Based Compensation Arrangements (including, for
greater certainty, the Plan) shall not exceed $150,000. 
 (h)     In the event that a Participant holds
20% or more of the issued and outstanding Shares or the settlement of an Award in Shares would cause the Participant to hold 20% or more of the issued and outstanding Shares, such Participant shall only be granted Awards that can be settled in cash.

  

	Section 6.	 Options. 

The Committee is hereby authorized to grant Options to Participants with the following terms and conditions and with such
additional terms and conditions, in either case not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the Committee shall determine: 

(a)     The purchase price per Share under an Option shall be determined by the Committee; provided,
however, that, except in the case of Substitute Awards, such purchase price shall not be less than 100% (or 110% in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a person owning stock possessing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined
voting power of all classes of stock of the Corporation, its subsidiaries or its parent, determined in accordance with Section 422(b)(6)) of the Code) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant of such Option. In the event that
the Committee determines and has authorized the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation to grant such Options on a future date because the Corporation is in a Blackout Period, the date of grant shall be deemed to occur on the second trading day
following the termination of the Blackout Period and the Fair Market Value shall be the closing price on the first business day following the date on which the relevant Blackout Period has expired, unless the relevant grant of Options occurs after
the close of trading on the date of grant, in which case the Fair Market Value shall be equal to the closing price on the date of grant. In the event an additional Blackout Period commences such that two consecutive trading days (excluding weekends
and statutory holidays) do not elapse following the expiry of the initial Blackout Period, the grant date and Fair Market Value shall be determined by reference to the second consecutive trading day following the expiry of the subsequent Blackout
Period. 
 (b)     The term of each Option shall be fixed by the Committee but shall not exceed 6 years
from the date of grant thereof. Except as otherwise provided by the Committee in an Award Agreement, the term of each grant of Option shall be 6 years from the date of the grant thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the term of an Option
(other than an Incentive Stock Option) held by any Participant not subject to Section 409A of the Code would otherwise expire during, or within ten 

  
 10 

 
business days of the expiration of a Blackout Period applicable to such Participant, then the term of such Option shall be extended to the close of business on the tenth business day following
the expiration of the Blackout Period. 
 (c)     The Committee shall determine the time or times at
which an Option may be exercised in whole or in part. Except as otherwise provided by the Committee in an Award Agreement, the Options will vest and become exercisable as follows: 

 

	 	(i)	 as to one-third on the first anniversary of the date of the grant
thereof; 

  

	 	(ii)	 as to one-third on the second anniversary of the date of the grant
thereof; and 

  

	 	(iii)	 as to the final one-third on the third anniversary of the date of
the grant thereof. 

 (d)     To the extent vested and exercisable, Options may be
exercised in whole or in part at any time during the Option term, by giving written notice of exercise to the Corporation specifying the number of Shares to be purchased. Such notice shall be accompanied by payment in full of the purchase price (the
“Option Price”) as follows: (i) by certified cheque, bank draft or money order payable to the order of the Corporation; (ii) solely to the extent permitted by applicable law, if the Shares are traded on a national
securities exchange, and the Committee authorizes, through a procedure whereby the Participant delivers irrevocable instructions to a broker reasonably acceptable to the Committee to deliver promptly to the Corporation an amount equal to the
purchase price; or (iii) on such other terms and conditions as may be acceptable to the Committee (including, without limitation, having the Corporation withhold Shares issuable upon exercise of the Option, or by payment in full or in part in
the form of Shares owned by the Participant, based on the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the payment date as determined by the Committee). No Shares shall be issued until payment therefor, as provided herein, has been made or provided for. 

(e)     Notwithstanding Section 6(d), with the approval of the Committee, in its sole and unfettered
discretion, a Participant may elect to exercise an Option, in whole or in part, without payment of the aggregate Option Price due on such exercise by electing to receive Shares equal in value to the difference between the Option Price and the Fair
Market Value on the date of exercise (any such exercise a “Cashless Exercise”) computed by using the following formula, with either a partial or full deduction of the number of underlying Shares from the Plan reserve: 

X = Y (A-B) 

            A 
  

			
	Where	 	X = the number of Shares to be issued to the Participant upon such Cashless Exercise;
		 	Y = the number of Shares purchasable under the Option (at the date of such calculation);
		 	A = Fair Market Value of one Share of the Corporation (at the date of such calculation, if greater than the Option Price); and
		 	B = Option Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation)

 In the event that the Shares are not listed on the Exchange as at the date of an exercise of an Option, it
shall be a condition precedent to the exercise of any Option that the Participant agree to be bound by the terms of any unanimous shareholders agreement or similar agreements generally applicable to all of the shareholders of the Corporation then in
force, and further that the Participant agree to enter into voting trust generally applicable to employee shareholders of the Corporation then in force and provide a power of attorney in support of such voting trust 

  
 11 

 (f)     The terms of any Incentive Stock Option granted
under the Plan shall comply in all respects with the provisions of Section 422 of the Code, or any successor provision thereto, and any regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the
time of grant) of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by a Participant Employee during any calendar year under the Plan and/or any other stock option plan of the Corporation, any subsidiary or
any parent exceeds $100,000, such Options shall be treated as Non-Qualified Options. Should any provision of the Plan not be necessary in order for the Options to qualify as Incentive Stock Options, or should
any additional provisions be required, the Committee may amend the Plan accordingly, without the necessity of obtaining the approval of the shareholders of the Corporation, subject to the rules of the TSX. To the extent that any such Option does not
qualify as an Incentive Stock Option (whether because of its provisions or the time or manner of its exercise or otherwise), such Option or the portion thereof which does not so qualify shall constitute a separate
Non- Qualified Stock Option. 
  

	Section 7.	 Stock Appreciation Rights. 

(a)     The Committee is hereby authorized to grant Stock Appreciation Rights (“SARs”) to
Participants with terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan. 

(b)     SARs may be granted hereunder to Participants either alone (“freestanding”) or in
addition to other Awards granted under the Plan (“tandem”) and may, but need not, relate to a specific Options granted under Section 6. 

(c)     Any tandem SAR related to an Option may be granted at the same time such Option is granted to the
Participant. In the case of any tandem SAR related to any Option, the SAR or applicable portion thereof shall not be exercisable until the related Option or applicable portion thereof is exercisable and shall terminate and no longer be exercisable
upon the termination or exercise of the related Option, except that a SAR granted with respect to less than the full number of Shares covered by a related Option shall not be reduced until the exercise or termination of the related Option exceeds
the number of Shares not covered by the SAR. Any Option related to any tandem SAR shall no longer be exercisable to the extent the related SAR has been exercised. 

(d)     A freestanding SAR shall not have a term of greater than 10 years or, unless it is a Substitute
Award, an exercise price less than 100% of Fair Market Value of the Share on the date of grant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the term of a SAR held by any Participant not subject to Section 409A of the Code would otherwise expire during,
or within ten business days of the expiration of a Blackout Period applicable to such Participant, then the term of such SAR shall be extended to the close of business on the tenth business day following the expiration of the Blackout Period. 

 
  

	Section 8.	 Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units. 

(a)     The Committee is hereby authorized to grant Awards of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units
to Participants. 
 (b)     Shares of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to
such restrictions as the Committee may impose (including, without limitation, any limitation on the right to receive any dividend or dividend equivalent or other right), which restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such time or
times, in such installments or otherwise, as the Committee may deem appropriate. To the extent required by law, Participants holding Restricted Stock granted hereunder shall have the right to exercise full voting rights with respect to those
Restricted Stocks during the any period of restriction. A Participant shall have no voting rights with respect to any Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder. 

  
 12 

 (c)     Any share of Restricted Stock granted under the
Plan may be evidenced in such manner as the Committee may deem appropriate including, without limitation, book-entry registration or issuance of a share certificate or certificates. In the event any share certificate is issued in respect of shares
of Restricted Stock granted under the Plan, such certificate shall be registered in the name of the Participant and shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock. If share
certificates are issued in respect of shares of Restricted Stock, the Committee may require that any share certificates evidencing such Shares be held in custody by the Corporation until the restrictions thereon shall have lapsed, and that, as a
condition of any grant of Restricted Stock, the Participant shall have delivered a duly signed stock power or other instruments of assignment (including a power of attorney), each endorsed in blank with a guarantee of signature if deemed necessary
or appropriate by the Corporation, which would permit transfer to the Corporation of all or a portion of the shares subject to the Restricted Stock Award in the event that such Award is forfeited in whole or part. 

(d)     The Committee may in its discretion, when it finds that a waiver would be in the best interests of
the Corporation, waive in whole or in part any or all restrictions with respect to Shares of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units. 

(e)     The Committee, in its discretion, may award Dividend Equivalents with respect to Awards of
Restricted Stock Units. The entitlements on such Dividend Equivalents will not be available until the vesting of the Award of Restricted Stock Units. 

(f)     If the Committee intends that an Award under this Section 8 shall constitute or give rise to
“qualified performance based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, such Award may be structured in accordance with the requirements of Section 10, including without limitation, the Performance Goals and the Award
limitation set forth therein, and any such Award shall be considered a Performance Award for purposes of the Plan. 
 (g)
    No Restricted Stock Unit shall vest later than three years after the date of grant. 
  

	Section 9.	 Deferred Stock Unit. 

The Committee is authorized to grant Deferred Stock Units to Participants, subject to the following terms and conditions: 

(a)     Deferred Stock Units shall be settled upon expiration of the deferral period specified for an
Award of Deferred Stock Unit by the Committee (or, if permitted by the Committee, as elected by the Participant). In addition, Deferred Stock Units shall be subject to such restrictions on transferability, risk of forfeiture and other restrictions,
if any, as the Committee may impose, which restrictions may lapse at the expiration of the deferral period or at earlier specified times (including based on achievement of performance goals and/or future service requirements), separately or in
combination, in installments or otherwise, and under such other circumstances as the Committee may determine at the date of grant or thereafter. Deferred Stock Units may be satisfied by delivery of Shares, other Awards, or a combination thereof, as
determined by the Committee at the date of grant or thereafter. 
 (b)     The Committee, in its
discretion, may award Dividend Equivalents with respect to Awards of Deferred Stock Units. The entitlements on such Dividend Equivalents will not be available until the expiration of the deferral period for the Award of Deferred Stock Units. 

(c)     Except as otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, each Participant shall be entitled to redeem
his or her Deferred Stock Units during the period commencing on the business day 

  
 13 

 
immediately following the Director Termination Date and ending on the 90th day following the Director Termination Date by providing a written
notice of redemption, on a prescribed form, to the Corporation (the “Redemption Date”). In the event of death of a Participant, the notice of redemption shall be filed by the administrator or liquidator of the estate of the
Participant. For greater certainty, the administrator shall have a maximum of 180 days following the Director Termination Date to provide such written notice. In the case of a U.S. Participant and except as otherwise provided in an Award Agreement,
however, the redemption will be deemed to be made on the earlier of (i) December 31 of the year following the year of a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, or (ii) within 90 days of the
U.S. Participant’s death, or retirement from, or loss of office or employment with the Company, within the meaning of paragraph 6801(d) of the regulations under the ITA, including the Participant’s resignation, retirement, removal from the
Board, death or otherwise. 
  

	Section 10.	 Performance Awards. 

(a)     The Committee may grant a Performance Award to a Participant payable upon the attainment of
specific Performance Goals. The Committee may grant Performance Awards that are intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, as well as Performance Awards that are not intended to qualify
as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code. If the Performance Award is payable in shares of Restricted Stock, such shares shall be transferable to the Participant only upon attainment of the relevant
Performance Goal in accordance with Section 8. If the Performance Award is payable in cash, it may be paid upon the attainment of the relevant Performance Goals either in cash or in shares of Restricted Stock (based on the then current Fair
Market Value of such shares), as determined by the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion. Each Performance Award shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement in such form that is not inconsistent with the Plan and that the Committee may from
time to time approve. With respect to Performance Awards that are intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee shall condition the right to payment of any Performance Award
upon the attainment of objective Performance Goals established pursuant to Section 10(b)(iii). 
 (b)
    Terms and Conditions. Performance Awards awarded pursuant to this Section 10 shall be subject to the following terms and conditions: 

(i)     Earning of Performance Award. At the expiration of the applicable Performance Period, the
Committee shall determine the extent to which the Performance Goals established pursuant to Section 10(b) are achieved and the percentage of each Performance Award that has been earned. 

(ii)     Non-Transferability. Subject to the applicable
provisions of the Award Agreement and the Plan, Performance Awards may not be Transferred during the Performance Period. 

(iii)     Objective Performance Goals, Formulae or Standards. With respect to Performance Awards
that are intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee shall establish the objective Performance Goals for the earning of Performance Awards based on a Performance Period
applicable to each Participant or class of Participants in writing prior to the beginning of the applicable Performance Period or at such later date as permitted under Section 162(m) of the Code and while the outcome of the Performance Goals
are substantially uncertain. Such Performance Goals may incorporate, if and only to the extent permitted under Section 162(m) of the Code, provisions for disregarding (or adjusting for) the impact of any of the following that the Committee
determines to be appropriate: (i) corporate transactions (including, without limitation, dispositions and acquisitions) and other similar type events or circumstances, (ii) restructurings, discontinued operations, extraordinary items or
events, and other unusual or non-recurring charges as described in the Corporation’s Management Discussion & Analysis; (iii) an event 

  
 14 

 
either not directly related to the operations of the Corporation or any of its Affiliates or not within the reasonable control of the Corporation’s management, (iv) a change in tax law
or accounting standards required by generally accepted accounting principles, or (v) such other exclusions or adjustments as the Committee specifies at the time the Award is granted. To the extent that any such provision would create
impermissible discretion under Section 162(m) of the Code or otherwise violate Section 162(m) of the Code, such provision shall be of no force or effect, with respect to Performance Awards that are intended to qualify as
“performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code. 
 (c)
    Dividends. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee in an Award Agreement, amounts equal to dividends declared during the Performance Period with respect to the number of Shares covered by a Performance Award will
not be paid to the Participant. In all cases, such dividends would not become payable until the expiration of the applicable Performance Period. 

(d)     Payment. Following the Committee’s determination in accordance with
Section 10(b)(i) the Corporation shall settle Performance Awards, in such form (including, without limitation, in Shares or in cash) as determined by the Committee, in an amount equal to such Participant’s earned Performance Awards.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, award an amount less than the earned Performance Awards and/or subject the payment of all or part of any Performance Award to additional vesting, forfeiture and deferral
conditions as it deems appropriate. 
 (e)     Termination. Subject to the applicable provisions
of the Award Agreement and the Plan, upon a Participant’s termination of Service for any reason during the Performance Period for a given Performance Award, the Performance Award in question will vest or be forfeited in accordance with the
terms and conditions established by the Committee at grant. 
 (f)     Accelerated Vesting. Based
on service, performance and/or such other factors or criteria, if any, as the Committee may determine, the Committee may, at or after grant, due to such service, performance and/or such other factors or criteria relating to the Participant’s
performance to date accelerate on a pro rata basis the vesting of all or any part of any Performance Award. 
 (g)
    When and if Performance Awards become payable, a Participant having received the grant of such units shall be entitled to receive payment from the Company in settlement of such units in cash, Shares of equivalent value (based
on the Fair Market Value), in some combination thereof, or in any other form determined by the Committee at its sole discretion. With respect to any Canadian Participant, the Company shall deliver the payout in settlement of any Performance Award to
such Canadian Participant by or before December 31 of the third year following the year of the grant. 
  

	Section 11.	 Other Stock-Based Awards. 

The Committee is authorized, subject to limitations under applicable law, the approval of the TSX and shareholder approval, if required, to
grant to Participants such other Awards that may be denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on, or related to, Shares or factors that may influence the value of Shares, including, without limitation,
convertible or exchangeable debt securities, other rights convertible or exchangeable into Shares, purchase rights for Shares, Awards with value and payment contingent upon performance of the Corporation or business units thereof, Shares awarded
purely as a bonus and not subject to restrictions or conditions, or any other factors designated by the Committee. The Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of such Awards. Shares delivered pursuant to an Award in the nature of a
purchase right granted under this Section 11 shall be purchased for such consideration, paid for at such times, by such methods, and in such forms, including, without limitation, cash, Shares, other Awards, notes, or other property, as the
Committee shall determine. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee in an Award Agreement, the recipient of an Award under this Section 11 shall not be entitled to receive, currently or on a deferred basis, dividends or Dividend Equivalents
in respect of the number of Shares covered by the 

  
 15 

 
Award. In all cases, such dividends or Dividend Equivalents would not become payable until the expiration of any applicable performance period. 

 

	Section 12.	 Effect of Termination of Service on Awards. 

(a)     The Committee may provide, by rule or regulation or in any Award Agreement, or may determine in
any individual case, the circumstances in which Awards shall be exercised, vested, paid or forfeited in the event a Participant ceases to provide Service to the Corporation or any Affiliate prior to the end of a performance period or exercise or
settlement of such Award. 
 (b)     Except as otherwise provided by the Committee in an Award
Agreement: 
 (i)     if a Participant resigns their office or employment, or the employment of a
Participant is terminated, or a Participant’s contract as a Consultant terminates, only the portion of the Options that have vested and are exercisable at the date of any such resignation or termination may be exercised by the participant
during the period ending 90 days after the date of resignation or termination, as applicable, after which period all Options expire; and 

(ii)     any Options, whether vested or unvested, will expire immediately upon the Participant being
dismissed from their office or employment for cause or on a Participant’s contract as a Consultant being terminated before its normal termination date for cause, including where a participant resigns their office or employment or terminates
their contract as a Consultant after being requested to do so by the Corporation as an alternative to being dismissed or terminated by the Corporation for cause. 
  

	Section 13.	 Change in Control Provisions. 

Except as otherwise provided by the Committee in an Award Agreement: 

(a)     the occurrence of a Change in Control will not result in the vesting of unvested Awards nor the
lapse of any period of restriction pertaining to any Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit (such Awards collectively referred to as “Unvested Awards”), provided that: (i) such Unvested Awards will continue to vest in
accordance with the Plan and the Award Agreement; (ii) the level of achievement of performance goals prior to the date of the Change in Control shall be based on the actual performance achieved to the date of the Change in Control and the level
of achievement of performance goals for the applicable period completed following the date of the Change in Control shall be based on the assumed achievement of 100% of the performance goals; and (iii) any successor entity agrees to assume the
obligations of the Corporation in respect of such Unvested Awards. 
 (b)     For the period of 24
months following a Change in Control, where a Participant’s employment or term of office or engagement is terminated for any reason, other than for Cause: (i) any Unvested Awards as at the date of such termination shall be deemed to have
vested, and any period of restriction shall be deemed to have lapsed, as at the date of such termination and shall become payable as at the date of termination; and (ii) the level of achievement of performance goals for any Unvested Awards that
are deemed to have vested pursuant to (i) above, shall be based on the actual performance achieved at the end of the applicable period immediately prior to the date of termination. 

(c)     With respect to Awards for a U.S. Participant to the extent applicable, the Committee shall have
the discretion to unilaterally determine that all outstanding Awards shall be cancelled up on a Change in Control, and that the value of such Awards, as determined by the Committee in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the Award Agreements,
shall be paid out in cash in an amount based on the Change in Control Price within a reasonable time subsequent to the Change in Control; provided, 

  
 16 

 
however, that no such payment shall be made on account of an ISO using a value higher than the Fair Market Value of the underlying Shares on the date of settlement. For purposes of this Section,
“Change in Control Price” shall mean the highest price per Share paid in any transaction related to a Change in Control of the Corporation. 

(d)     Notwithstanding the above, no cancellation, acceleration of vesting, lapsing of restrictions,
payment of an Award, cash settlement or other payment shall occur with respect to any Award if the Committee reasonably determines in good faith prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control that such Award shall be honoured or assumed, or new
rights substituted therefor (with such honoured, assumed or substituted Award hereinafter referred to as an “Alternative Award”) by any successor to the Corporation or an Affiliate; provided, however, that any such Alternative Award must:
(i) be based on stock which is traded on the TSX and/or an established U.S. securities market; (ii) provide such Participant with rights and entitlements substantially equivalent to or better than the rights, terms and conditions
applicable under such Award, including, but not limited to, an identical or better exercise or vesting schedule and identical or better timing and methods of payment; (iii) recognize, for the purposes of vesting provisions, the time that the
Award has been held prior to the Change in Control; (iv) have substantially equivalent economic value to such Award (determined prior to the time of the Change in Control); and (v) have terms and conditions which provide that in the event
that the Participant’s employment with the Corporation, an Affiliate or any successor is involuntarily terminated or constructively terminated at any time within at least twelve months following a Change in Control, any conditions on a
Participant’s rights under, or any restrictions on transfer or exercisability applicable to, each such Alternative Award shall be waived or shall lapse, as the case may be. 

(e)     In the event that any accelerated Award vesting or payment received or to be received by a
Participant pursuant to the above (the “Benefit”) would (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of and subject to Section 280G of the Code and (ii) but for this Section, be subject to the excise tax
imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then such Benefit shall be reduced to the extent necessary to that no portion of the Benefit will be subject to the Excise Tax, as determined in good faith by the Committee;
provided, however, that if, in the absence of any such reduction (or after such reduction), the Participant believes that the Benefit or any portion thereof (as reduced, if applicable) would be subject to the Excise Tax, the Benefit shall be reduced
(or further reduced) to the extent determined by the Participant in his or her discretion so that the Excise Tax would not apply. To the extent that such Benefit or any portion thereof is subject to Section 409A of the Code, then such Benefit
or portion thereof shall be reduced by first reducing or eliminating any payment or Benefit payable in cash and then any payment or Benefit not payable in cash, in each case in reverse order beginning with payments or Benefits which are to be paid
the further in time from the date of a Change in Control. If, notwithstanding any such reduction (or in the absence of such reduction), the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) determines that the Participant is liable for Excise Tax as a
result of the Benefit, then the Participant shall be obliged to return to the Corporation, within thirty days of such determination by the IRS, a portion of the Benefit sufficient such that none of the Benefit retained by the Participant constitutes
a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code that is subject to the Excise Tax. In no event shall the Corporation have any obligation to pay any Excise Tax imposed on a Participant or to indemnify a Participant
therefor. 
 (f)     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, this Section shall not apply with
respect to any Deferred Stock Units held by a Canadian Participant where such Deferred Stock Units are governed under regulation 6801(d) of the ITA or any successor to such provision. 

 

	Section 14.	 General Provisions Applicable to Awards. 

(a)     Awards may be granted for no cash consideration or for such minimal cash

  
 17 

 
consideration as may be required by applicable law. 
 (b)
    Awards may, in the discretion of the Committee, be granted either alone or in addition to or in tandem with any other Award or any award granted under any other plan of the Corporation. Awards granted in addition to or in
tandem with other Awards, or in addition to or in tandem with awards granted under any other plan of the Corporation, may be granted either at the same time as or at a different time from the grant of such other Awards or awards. 

(c)     Subject to the terms of the Plan, payments or transfers to be made by the Corporation upon the
grant, exercise or payment of an Award may be made in the form of cash, Shares, other securities or other Awards, or any combination thereof, as determined by the Committee in its discretion at the time of grant, and may be made in a single payment
or transfer, in installments, or on a deferred basis, in each case in accordance with rules and procedures established by the Committee and in compliance with Section 409A of the Code. Such rules and procedures may include, without limitation,
provisions for the payment or crediting of reasonable interest (or no interest) on installment or deferred payments or the grant or crediting of dividend equivalents in respect of installment or deferred payments. 

(d)     Except as may be permitted by the Committee or as specifically provided in an Award Agreement,
(i) no Award or other benefit payable under the Plan shall, except as otherwise specifically provided by law or permitted by the Committee, be Transferable in any manner other than by will or the law of descent, and any attempt to Transfer any
such benefit shall be void, and any such benefit shall not in any manner be liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements or torts of any person who shall be entitled to such benefit, nor shall it be subject to attachment
or legal process for or against such person, and (ii) each Award, and each right under any Award, shall be exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by the Participant or, if permissible under applicable law, by the
Participant’s guardian or legal representative. The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to any Award which has been fully exercised, earned or paid, as the case may be, and shall not preclude forfeiture of an Award in accordance with
the terms thereof. 
 (e)     A Participant may designate a Beneficiary or change a previous beneficiary
designation at such times prescribed by the Committee by using forms and following procedures approved or accepted by the Committee for that purpose. If no Beneficiary designated by the Participant is eligible to receive payments or other benefits
or exercise rights that are available under the Plan at the Participant’s death, the Beneficiary shall be the Participant’s estate. 

(f)     All certificates for Shares and/or Shares or other securities delivered under the Plan pursuant to
any Award or the exercise thereof shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the Plan or the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the Ontario Securities Commission, any
stock exchange upon which such Shares or other securities are then listed, and any applicable Federal or state securities laws, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such
restrictions. 
 (g)     It is a condition of each grant of an Award that if: (a) the Participant
fails to comply with any obligation to the Corporation or an Affiliate (A) to maintain the confidentiality of information relating to the Corporation or the Affiliate and/or its business, (B) not engage in employment or business activities
that compete with the business of the Corporation or the Affiliate, whether during or after employment with the Corporation of Affiliate, and whether such obligation is set out in an Award Agreement issued under the Plan or other agreement between
the Participant and the Corporation or Affiliate, including, without limitation, an employment agreement or otherwise; (C) not solicit employees or other service providers, customers and/or suppliers of the Corporation or the Affiliate, whether
during or after employment with the Corporation or Affiliate, and whether such obligation is 

  
 18 

 
set out in an Award Agreement issued under the Plan or other agreement between the Participant and the Corporation or Affiliate, including, without limitation, an employment agreement, or
otherwise (collectively, a “Restrictive Covenant”); (b) the Participant is terminated for cause, or the Board reasonably determines after employment termination that the Participant’s employment could have been terminated for
cause; (c) the Board reasonably determines that the Participant engaged in conduct that causes material financial or reputational harm to the Corporation or its Affiliates, or engaged in gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud in respect
of the performance of the Participant’s duties for the Company or an Affiliate; or (d) the Corporation’s financial statements (the “Original Statements”) are required to be restated (other than as a result of a change
in accounting policy by the Corporation or under International Financial Reporting Standards applicable to the Corporation) and such restated financial statements (the “Restated Statements” disclose, in the opinion of the Board,
acting reasonably, materially worse financial results than those contained in the Original Statements, then the Board may, in its sole discretion, to the full extent permitted by governing law and to the extent it determines that such action is in
the best interest of the Corporation, and for a U.S. Participant, in a manner in accordance with Section 409A of the Code to the extent applicable, and in addition to any other rights that the Corporation or an Affiliate may have at law or
under any agreement, take any or all of the following actions, as applicable): (i) require the Participant to reimburse the Corporation for any amount paid to the Participant in respect of an Award in cash in excess of the amount that should
otherwise have been paid in respect of such Award had the determination of such compensation been based upon the Restated Statements in the event clause (d) above is applicable, or that was paid in the twelve (12) months prior to
(x) the date on which the Participant fails to comply with a Restrictive Covenant, (y) the date on which the Participant’s employment is terminated for cause, or the Board makes a determination under paragraph (b) or (c) above,
less, in any event, the amount of tax withheld pursuant to the ITA or other relevant taxing authority in respect of the amount paid in cash in the year of payment; (ii) reduce the number or value of, or cancel and terminate, any one or more
unvested grants of Options, Restricted Stock Units, Deferred Stock Units, Performance Awards or SARs on or prior to the applicable maturity or vesting dates, or cancel or terminate any outstanding Awards which have vested in the twelve
(12) months prior to (x) the date on which the Participant fails to comply with a Restrictive Covenant, (y) the date on which the Participant’s employment is terminated for cause or the Board makes a determination under paragraph
(b) or (c) above, or (z) the date on which the Board determines that the Corporation’s Original Statements are required to be restated, in the event paragraph (d) above applies (each such date provided for in clause (x), (y) and
(z) of this paragraph (ii) being a “Relevant Equity Recoupment Date”); and/or (iii) require payment to the Corporation of the value of any Shares of the Corporation acquired by the Participant pursuant to an Award
granted in the twelve (12) months prior to a Relevant Equity Recoupment Date (less any amount paid by the Participant) to acquire such Shares and less the amount of tax withheld pursuant to the ITA or other relevant taxing authority in respect
of such Shares). 
 (h)     All Awards issued pursuant to the Plan which may be denominated or settled
in Shares, and all such Shares issued pursuant to the Plan, will be issued pursuant to the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act or an exemption from such registration requirements. 

 

	Section 15.	 Amendments and Termination. 

(a)     The Board may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate the Plan and any outstanding Awards
granted hereunder, in whole or in part, at any time without notice to or approval by the shareholders of the Corporation, for any purpose whatsoever, provided that all material amendments to the Plan shall require the prior approval of the
shareholders of the Corporation and must comply with the rules of the TSX. Examples of the types of amendments that are not material that the Board is entitled to make without shareholder approval include, without limitation, the following: 

(i)     ensuring continuing compliance with applicable law, the rules of the TSX or

  
 19 

 
other applicable stock exchange rules and regulations or accounting or tax rules and regulations; 

(ii)     amendments of a “housekeeping” nature, which include amendments to correct any defect,
supply any omission, or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or any Award Agreement in the manner and to the extent it shall deem desirable to carry the Plan into effect; 

(iii)     changing the vesting provision of the Plan or any Award (subject to the limitations for Awards
subject to Section 10(b)); 
 (iv)     waiving any conditions or rights under any Award (subject
to the limitations for Awards subject to Section 10(b)); 
 (v)     changing the termination
provisions of any Award that does not entail an extension beyond the original expiration date thereof; 
 (vi)
    adding or amending a cashless exercise provision; 
 (vii)     adding or
amending a financial assistance provision; 
 (viii)     changing the process by which a Participant
who wishes to exercise his or her Award can do so, including the required form of payment for the Shares being purchased, the form of written notice of exercise provided to the Corporation and the place where such payments and notices must be
delivered; and 
 (ix)     delegating any or all of the powers of the Committee to administer the Plan
to officers of the Corporation. 
 (b)     Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no
amendment to the Plan requiring the approval of the shareholders of the Corporation under any applicable securities laws or requirements shall become effective until such approval is obtained. In addition to the foregoing, the approval of the
holders of a majority of the Shares present and voting in person or by proxy at a meeting of shareholders shall be required for: 

(i)     an increase in the maximum number of Shares that may be made the subject of Awards under the
Plan; 
 (ii)     any adjustment (other than in connection with a stock dividend, recapitalization or
other transaction where an adjustment is permitted or required under Section 5(d)(i) or Section 5(d)(ii)) or amendment that reduces or would have the effect of reducing the exercise price of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right previously
granted under the Plan, whether through amendment, cancellation or replacement grants, or other means (provided that, in such a case, insiders of the Corporation who benefit from such amendment are not eligible to vote their Shares in respect of the
approval); 
 (iii)     an increase in the limits on Awards that may be granted to any Participant
under Section 5(c) and Section 5(g) or to Insiders under Section 21; 
 (iv)     an
extension of the term of an outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right beyond the expiry date thereof; 
 (v)
    permitting Options granted under the Plan to be Transferrable other than for normal estate settlement purposes; and 

(vi)     any amendment to the plan amendment provisions set forth in this Section 15

  
 20 

 
which is not an amendment within the nature of Section 15(a)(i) or Section 15(a)(ii), 

unless the change results from application of Section 5(d)(i) or Section 5(d)(ii). 

Furthermore, except as otherwise permitted under the Plan, no change to an outstanding Award that will adversely impair the rights of a
Participant may be made without the consent of the Participant except to the extent that such change is required to comply with applicable law, stock exchange rules and regulations or accounting or tax rules and regulations. 

 

	Section 16.	 Miscellaneous. 

(a)     The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive and deferred
compensation. With respect to any payment as to which a Participant has a fixed and vested interest, but which are not yet made to a Participant by the Corporation, nothing contained herein shall give any such Participant any right that is greater
than those of a general unsecured creditor of the Corporation. 
 (b)     No employee, Participant or
other person shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of employees, 

Participants, or holders or beneficiaries of Awards under the Plan. The terms and conditions of Awards need not be the same
with respect to each recipient. Any Award granted under the Plan shall be a one-time Award which does not constitute a promise of future grants. The Corporation, in its sole discretion, maintains the right to
make available future grants hereunder. 
 (c)     The Corporation shall have the right to deduct from
any payment to be made pursuant to the Plan, or to otherwise require, prior to the issuance or delivery of Shares or the payment of any cash hereunder, payment by the Participant of, any federal, provincial, state or local taxes required by law to
be withheld. Upon the vesting of Restricted Stock (or other Award that is taxable upon vesting), or upon making an election under Section 83(b) of the Code, a Participant shall pay all required withholding to the Corporation. Any statutorily
required withholding obligation with regard to any Participant may be satisfied, subject to the consent of the Committee, by reducing the number of Shares otherwise deliverable or by delivering Shares already owned. Any fraction of a Share required
to satisfy such tax obligations shall be disregarded and the amount due shall be paid instead in cash by the Participant. 

(d)     Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Corporation from adopting or continuing in effect
other or additional compensation arrangements, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases. 

(e)     The grant of an Award shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to be retained in
the employ of, or to continue to provide services to, the Corporation or any Affiliate. Further, the Corporation or the applicable Affiliate may at any time dismiss a Participant, free from any liability, or any claim under the Plan, unless
otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in any Award Agreement or in any other agreement binding the parties. The receipt of any Award under the Plan is not intended to confer any rights on the receiving Participant except as set forth in such
Award. 
 (f)     If any provision of the Plan or any Award is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid,
illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or as to any person or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable
laws, or if it cannot be so construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, person or Award, and the
remainder of the Plan and any such Award shall remain in full force and effect. 
 (g)     Neither the
Plan nor any Award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Corporation and a Participant or any other 

  
 21 

 
person. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Corporation pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general
creditor of the Corporation. 
 (h)     No fractional Shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to
the Plan or any Award, and the Committee shall determine whether cash or other securities shall be paid or transferred in lieu of any fractional Shares, or whether such fractional Shares or any rights thereto shall be canceled, terminated or
otherwise eliminated. 
 (i)     No Award or other benefit payable under the Plan shall, except as
otherwise specifically provided by law or permitted by the Committee, be Transferable in any manner, and any attempt to Transfer any such benefit shall be void, and any such benefit shall not in any manner be liable for or subject to the debts,
contracts, liabilities, engagements or torts of any person who shall be entitled to such benefit, nor shall it be subject to attachment or legal process for or against such person. 

(j)     Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, as long as the Shares are listed on a national
securities exchange including the TSX or system sponsored by a national securities association, the issuance of Shares pursuant to an Award shall be conditioned upon such shares being listed on such exchange or system. The Corporation shall have no
obligation to issue such Shares unless and until such Shares are so listed, and the right to exercise any Option or other Award with respect to such Shares shall be suspended until such listing has been effected. If at any time counsel to the
Corporation shall be of the opinion that any sale or delivery of Shares pursuant to an Option or other Award is or may in the circumstances be unlawful or result in the imposition of excise taxes on the Corporation under the statutes, rules or
regulations of any applicable jurisdiction, the Corporation shall have no obligation to make such sale or delivery, or to make any application or to effect or to maintain any qualification or registration with respect to Shares or Awards, and the
right to exercise any Option or other Award shall be suspended until, in the opinion of said counsel, such sale or delivery shall be lawful or will not result in the imposition of excise taxes on the Corporation. A Participant shall be required to
supply the Corporation with certificates, representations and information that the Corporation requests and otherwise cooperate with the Corporation in obtaining any listing, registration, qualification, exemption, consent or approval the
Corporation deems necessary or appropriate. 
 (k)     No Award granted or paid out under the Plan shall
be deemed compensation for purposes of computing benefits under any retirement plan of the Corporation or its Affiliates nor affect any benefit under any other benefit plan now or subsequently in effect under which the availability or amount of
benefits is related to the level of compensation. The provisions of Awards need not be the same with respect to each Participant, and such Awards to individual Participants need not be the same in subsequent years. 

(l)     The Plan shall be binding on all successors and permitted assigns of a Participant, including,
without limitation, the estate of such Participant and the executor, administrator or trustee of such estate. Any benefit payable to or for the benefit of a minor, an incompetent person or other person incapable of receipt thereof shall be deemed
paid when paid to such person’s guardian or to the party providing or reasonably appearing to provide for the care of such person, and such payment shall fully discharge the Committee, the Board, the Corporation, its Affiliates and their
employees, agents and representatives with respect thereto. 
  

	Section 17.	 Effective Date of the Plan. 

The Plan shall be effective as of the Effective Date, which is the date of adoption by the Board, subject to the approval of the Plan by the
shareholders of the Corporation in accordance with the requirements of the laws of the Province of Ontario. 

  
 22 

	Section 18.	 Term of the Plan. 

No Award shall be granted under the Plan after ten years from the Effective Date. However, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or
in an applicable Award Agreement, any Award theretofore granted may extend beyond such date, and the authority of the Committee to amend, alter, adjust, suspend, discontinue, or terminate any such Award, or to waive any conditions or rights under
any such Award, and the authority of the Board to amend the Plan, shall extend beyond such date. 
  

	Section 19.	 Section 409A of the Code. 

(a)     The Plan is intended to comply with the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code
and shall be limited, construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent. To the extent that any Award is subject to Section 409A of the Code, it shall be paid in a manner that will comply with Section 409A of the Code, including
proposed, temporary or final regulations or any other guidance issued by the Secretary of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service with respect thereto. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any provision in the Plan that is
inconsistent with Section 409A of the Code shall be deemed to be amended to comply with Section 409A of the Code and to the extent such provision cannot be amended to comply therewith, such provision shall be null and void. The Corporation
shall have no liability to a Participant, or any other party, if an Award that is intended to be exempt from, or compliant with, Section 409A of the Code is not so exempt or compliant or for any action taken by the Committee or the Corporation
and, in the event that any amount or benefit under the Plan becomes subject to penalties under Section 409A of the Code, responsibility for payment of such penalties shall rest solely with the affected Participants and not with the Corporation.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision in the Plan or Award Agreement, any payment(s) of “nonqualified deferred compensation” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) that are otherwise required to be made under the Plan to a
“specified employee” (as defined under Section 409A of the Code) as a result of such employee’s separation from service (other than a payment that is not subject to Section 409A of the Code) shall be delayed for the first
six (6) months following such separation from service (or, if earlier, the date of death of the specified employee) and shall instead be paid (in a manner set forth in the Award Agreement) upon expiration of such delay period. 

(b)     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation does not make any representation to any Participant
or Beneficiary as to the tax consequences of any Awards made pursuant to this Plan, and the Corporation shall have no liability or other obligation to indemnify or hold harmless the Participant or any Beneficiary for any tax, additional tax,
interest or penalties that the Participant or any Beneficiary may incur as a result of the grant, vesting, exercise or settlement of an Award under this Plan. 
  

	Section 20.	 Governing Law. 

This Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the laws of Canada applicable in the
Province of Ontario. 
  

	Section 21.	 TSX Requirements. 

The number of Shares issuable to Insiders, at any time, under all Security Based Compensation Arrangements of the Corporation, may not exceed
10% of the Corporation’s issued and outstanding Shares; and the number of Shares issued to Insiders within any one-year period, under all Security Based Compensation Arrangements of the Corporation, may
not exceed 10% of the Corporation’s issued and outstanding Shares. For the purpose of this Section 21, “Insider” shall mean any “reporting 

  
 23 

 
insiders” as defined in National Instrument 55-104 – Insider Reporting Requirements, and “Security Based Compensation
Arrangement” shall mean any (i) any stock option plans for the benefit of employees, insiders, service providers or any one of such groups; (ii) individual stock options granted to employees, service providers or insiders if not
granted pursuant to a plan previously approved by the Corporation’s security holders; (iii) treasury based share purchase plans where the Corporation provides financial assistance or where the Corporation matches the whole or a portion of
the securities being purchased; (iv) stock appreciation rights involving issuances of securities from treasury; any other compensation or incentive mechanism involving the issuance or potential issuances of securities of the Corporation; and
(vi) security purchases from treasury by an employee, insider or service provider which is financially assisted by the Corporation by any means whatsoever.

 Message to Shareholders 

Canopy Growth Corporation (the “Corporation”) is pleased to invite you to join us at our annual general and special meeting of
shareholders (the “Meeting”). The Meeting will be held at the Corporation’s Smiths Falls Campus, in the White Building, 1 Hershey Drive, in Smiths Falls, Ontario K7A 0A8 on September 26, 2018 at 1:00 p.m. (Ottawa time).

 The accompanying management information circular (this “Circular”) contains important information about voting on the business to
be transacted at the Meeting, the director nominees, our Board of Directors and its committees, our governance practices, and how we compensate our directors and executives. 

At the Meeting, shareholders will be asked to consider an additional equity investment in the Corporation by an affiliate of Constellation Brands, Inc.
(“Constellation”). 
 As previously announced, on November 2, 2017, Greenstar Canada Investment Limited Partnership
(“Greenstar”), an affiliate of Constellation, made an investment in the Corporation of $244,990,084.25 on a private placement basis in exchange for: (i) 18,876,901 common shares in the capital of the Corporation (the “Common
Shares”) and (ii) 18,876,901 Common Share purchase warrants (the “2017 Warrants”). 
 As announced on August 15, 2018,
Constellation, through its affiliate CBG Holdings LLC (“CBG”), has committed to making an additional investment in the Corporation of C$5.079 billion on a private placement basis (the “Investment”) in exchange
for (i) 104,500,000 Common Shares, and (ii) 139,745,453 Common Share purchase warrants (the “2018 Warrants”). CBG is acquiring the Investment Common Shares at a price of C$48.60 per share, which represented a 37.9% premium to the 5-day volume weighted average price of the Common Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange and a 51.2% premium to the closing price on August 14, 2018. If exercised, the 2018 Warrants would provide for at least an
additional C$4.459 billion to the Corporation. 
 In addition to the Investment, shareholders will be asked to approve matters ancillary to the
Investment, including certain agreements and the election of new directors (such matters being collectively referred to as the “Transaction”). 

If the Transaction is completed, Constellation will indirectly hold an approximate 38% equity interest in the Corporation upon closing assuming full
exercise of the 2017 Warrants and 55% assuming full exercise of the 2017 Warrants and 2018 Warrants, as more particularly described in the accompanying Circular. 

The Investment, the largest to date in the cannabis space, marks a significant expansion of Constellation’s strategic partnership with the
Corporation and will provide funds which Canopy Growth intends to deploy to strategically build and/or acquire key assets needed to establish global scale in the nearly 30 countries pursuing a federally permissible medical cannabis program, while
also rapidly laying the global foundation needed for new recreational cannabis markets. We believe the Investment will position the Corporation as the global leader in cannabis production, branding, intellectual property and retailing. 

The Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board”), after consultation with its legal and financial advisors, unanimously determined
that the Transaction is in the best interests of the Corporation and is fair to Shareholders (other than Constellation and its affiliates). The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote FOR the resolution approving the Transaction.

  
 iv 

 The recommendation of the Board is based on various factors described more fully in the accompanying
Circular. 
 The enclosed documents also describe the Transaction and related matters in more detail and set forth the actions to be taken by you at
the annual and special meeting. 
 The Transaction is subject to approval by not less than a majority of the votes cast by shareholders (excluding
Common Shares beneficially held by Constellation and its directors and officers, or over which Constellation or its directors and officers exercise control or direction, including the Common Shares held by Greenstar), obtaining regulatory approvals
under the Competition Act (Canada) and Investment Canada Act, and other customary closing conditions described in the accompanying Circular. 

Your participation in the Meeting is important to us. We encourage all shareholders to take the opportunity to read the accompanying Circular in advance
of the Meeting as it details information that will assist you in exercising your right to vote as a shareholder. 
 Registered shareholders can
exercise their right to vote on the business before the Meeting by either attending in person or by completing and submitting a proxy. Instructions on how to vote by proxy are included in the accompanying Circular. 

Non-registered shareholders, including those who hold Common Shares through a brokerage account, will receive a
voting instruction form that can be used to provide voting instructions. The voting instruction form contains instructions on how to complete the form, where to return it to and the deadline for returning it. It is important to read and follow the
instructions on the voting instruction form in order to have your vote count. 
 If you have questions or need assistance with the completion and
delivery of your proxy, you may contact the Corporation’s strategic shareholder advisor and proxy solicitation agent, Kingsdale Advisors, by telephone at 1-877-657-5857 (toll free in North America) or 1-416-867-2272 (collect outside

 Certain
statements in this Circular contain forward-looking statements and forward-looking information (collectively, “forward-looking statements”) within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and
within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation respectively. Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “plan”, “expect”, “is expected”,

“could”, “would”, “might”, or “will” be taken, occur, or be achieved. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, performance or
achievements of the Corporation to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve numerous assumptions, known and unknown risks and uncertainties, both general and
specific, that contribute to the possibility that the predictions, forecasts, projections and other forward-looking statements will not occur. Such forward-looking statements in this Circular speak only as of the date of this Circular.
Forward-looking statements in this Circular, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the timing and completion of the proposed transaction, shareholder approval of the proposed transaction, applicable government and regulatory approvals

transaction, similarities between the cannabis and total beverage alcohol categories, the impact of covenants in favour of the Corporation, future expansion efforts, the leadership of the Corporation in the cannabis industry, the impact of the
transaction on the Corporation’s market position, the composition of the Corporation’s management team and board of directors, the location of the Corporation’s headquarters, future operational and production capacity and
requirements, the impact of any enhanced infrastructure and production capabilities, cash on hand following the transaction, assumptions in respect of the outstanding convertible notes issued by the Corporation, assumptions in respect of the share
capital and convertible securities of the Corporation, future success and anticipated available product selection. 
 By their very nature, these
statements require the Corporation to make assumptions and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties, general and specific, which may cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements.
Some of the risks and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements contained in Circular include, but are not limited to, the factors included under the heading
“Business of the Meeting – IV. The Transaction – Risk Factors”, and other factors and uncertainties disclosed from time-to-time in the
Corporation’s filings with the Canadian Securities Administrators or with the United States Securities Exchange Commission, including its annual information form dated June 28, 2018, which could cause actual future performance to differ
from current expectations. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward- 

 looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as
required by applicable law.

 Questions and Answers About the Transaction 

The following are some of the questions that you, as a Shareholder, may have in respect of the transaction with CBG Holdings LLC and answers
to those questions. These questions are provided for convenience only and should be read in conjunction with this Circular. 
 What am I
voting on in respect of the transaction? 
 Shareholders are voting on the issuance of (i) 104,500,000 Common Shares, and (ii) 139,745,453
Common Share purchase warrants (the “2018 Warrants”) to CBG Holdings LLC (“CBG”), an affiliate of Constellation Brands, Inc. (“Constellation”), at a price of $48.60 per Common Share (or
$5,078,700,000 in the aggregate) (referred to as the “Investment”). 88,472,861 of the 2018 Warrants (the “Tranche A Warrants”) will have an exercise price of $50.40 and will be immediately exercisable at any time,
and from time to time, for a period of three years following the Closing Date. 51,272,592 of the 2018 Warrants (the “Tranche B Warrants”) will have an exercise price based on the five-day
volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares on the TSX at the time of exercise and will have a term of three years from the closing date. The Tranche B Warrants will become immediately exercisable if and when all of the Tranche A
Warrants have been exercised. CBG is acquiring the Investment Common Shares at a price of $48.60 per share, which represented a 37.9% premium to the 5-day volume weighted average price of the Common Shares on
the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”), and a 51.2% premium to the closing price on August 14, 2018. If exercised, the Tranche A Warrants would provide for additional proceeds to the Corporation of approximately
$4.459 billion. 
 In addition to authorizing the Investment, Shareholders are being asked to approve matters ancillary to the Investment,
including certain agreements, and the exercise by Constellation of its rights under such agreements, and the reconstitution of the Board (such matters being collectively referred to as the “Transaction”), all as further described in
this Circular. 
 The Subscription Agreement between the Corporation and CBG entered into on August 14, 2018 (the “Subscription
Agreement”) effecting the Investment contemplates that Greenstar Canada Investment Limited Partnership (“Greenstar”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Constellation that completed the initial Constellation investment
in the Corporation on November 2, 2017, CBG and the Corporation will enter into an Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement (the “A&R IRA”) on the closing date of the Transaction (the “Closing Date”).
Pursuant to the A&R IRA, the board of directors of the Corporation (the “Board”) will be increased from five directors to seven directors, of which CBG will have the right to designate four nominees (the “CBG
Nominees”) for election or appointment to the Board so long as the CBG Group (as defined in the A&R IRA) continues to hold a target number of shares. Accordingly, as part of approving the Transaction, the Shareholders are also approving
the A&R IRA and the reconstitution of the Board, which will thereafter comprise Bruce Linton, John Bell, Peter Stringham, William Newlands, David Klein and Judy Schmeling. Following completion of the Transaction, once CBG and Canopy identify and
select a seventh CBG Nominee pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, the Board will exercise its authority under the Canada Business Corporations Act to increase the size of the Board to seven members to satisfy the Corporation’s
obligations under the A&R IRA and will appoint such CBG Nominee to fill the vacancy to hold office until the next annual meeting of Shareholders or until his or her successor is duly elected or appointed pursuant to the by-laws of the Corporation and in accordance with the A&R IRA. 
 See “Business of the Meeting – IV.
The Transaction – Background to the Transaction”. The full text of the resolution in respect of the Transaction is set out in Schedule A (the “Transaction Approval Resolution”). 

What level of Shareholder support is required to approve the Transaction? 

The Transaction must be approved by a majority of votes cast at the Meeting, in person or by proxy, by Shareholders other than certain interested and
related parties (such approving Shareholders, the “Minority Shareholders”). The Minority Shareholders exclude Constellation, CBG and Greenstar and 

  
 3 

 
their respective affiliates and directors and senior officers, as more particularly described below under “Business of the Meeting – IV. The Transaction – The Transaction Approval
Resolution” and “Business of the Meeting – IV. The Transaction – MI 61-101 Related Party Transaction Requirements”. 

The directors and officers of the Corporation have entered into voting support agreements with CBG, pursuant to which they have agreed to vote an
aggregate of approximately 4% of the outstanding Common Shares in favour of the Transaction Approval Resolution. 
 Why should I vote in favour
of the Transaction? 
 The Board believes that the expansion of the strategic partnership between Constellation and the Corporation, together
with Constellation’s investment, will allow the Corporation to accelerate its global expansion plans. 
 The Transaction is part of a larger
strategic partnership between Constellation and the Corporation that includes Greenstar’s initial equity investment in the Corporation in November 2017. Through Greenstar, Constellation currently indirectly holds a 14.1% equity stake in the
Corporation (including the warrants issued to Greenstar in 2017). If the Transaction is completed, Constellation will invest cash in excess of $5 billion and indirectly hold an approximate 38% equity interest in the Corporation upon closing
assuming the full exercise of 18,876,901 common share purchase warrants issued on November 2, 2017 (the “2017 Warrants”) (55% assuming the full exercise of the 2018 Warrants on a fully-diluted basis at a cost of at least $4.5
billion).  
 The foregoing fully-diluted percentages take into account: (A) the Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of the 2017
Warrants, (B) options to purchase 18,824,025 Common Shares and 29,930 restricted stock units granted by the Corporation pursuant to its omnibus incentive plan, (C) the successful completion of the proposed acquisition of Hiku Brands
Company Ltd. by the Corporation by statutory plan of arrangement in accordance with the terms and conditions of the arrangement agreement dated July 10, 2018, (D) the assumed cash settlement of all issued and outstanding 4.25% convertible
senior notes due 2023 (the “Convertible Notes”) issued by the Corporation pursuant to an indenture dated June 20, 2018 (the “Indenture”), and (E) the assumption that no further Common Shares or securities
convertible into Common Shares in the capital of the Corporation are issued between August 14, 2018 and the Closing Date. 
 In making its
recommendation that Shareholders vote FOR the Transaction Approval Resolution, the Board carefully considered a number of factors described in this Circular, including receipt of a fairness opinion (the “Fairness Opinion”) of its
financial advisor, Greenhill & Co. Canada Ltd. (the “Financial Advisor”). Based upon and subject to the assumptions, qualifications and limitations set out in the Fairness Opinion, the Financial Advisor provided its opinion
to the Board that, as of August 14, 2018, the consideration to be received by the Corporation pursuant to the Investment is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Corporation. The full text of the Fairness Opinion, including a description
of its assumptions, qualifications and limitations and a summary of the Financial Advisor’s valuation methodologies, is attached as Schedule B to this Circular. 

See “Business of the Meeting – IV. The Transaction – Reasons for the Recommendation of the Board” and “Business of the Meeting
– IV. The Transaction – Fairness Opinion”. 
 What happens if the Transaction is not approved by Shareholders? 

In order to proceed, the Transaction must be approved by a majority of Common Shares voted, in person or by proxy, by Minority Shareholders at the
Meeting. If the Transaction is not approved by Shareholders, the Corporation will neither receive any investment proceeds nor benefit from the proposed expansion of its strategic partnership with Constellation. Under the Subscription Agreement, so
long as the Board does not change its recommendations that the Shareholders vote for the Transaction Approval Resolution, there 

  
 4 

 
are no other consequences if the Transaction is not approved by Shareholders, except in certain circumstances in respect of an alternative acquisition proposal. The Corporation must pay CBG a
termination fee if the Transaction is not approved by Shareholders, but only if (A) prior to the failure to obtain Shareholder approval an acquisition proposal for the Corporation shall have been made to the Corporation or publicly announced by
any person other than CBG (or any of its affiliates or any person acting jointly or in concert with any of the foregoing) and not withdrawn and (B) within 12 months following the date of the failure to obtain Shareholder approval,
(1) the Corporation enters into a definitive agreement in respect of an acquisition proposal (whether or not such acquisition proposal is the same acquisition proposal referred to in clause (A) above) and such acquisition proposal is later
consummated (whether or not within such 12 month period) or (2) an acquisition proposal shall have been consummated (whether or not such acquisition proposal is the same acquisition proposal referred to in clause (A) above). 

In addition, if the Transaction is not completed, the market price of the Common Shares may be impacted to the extent that the market price reflects a
market assumption that the Transaction will be completed. If the Transaction is not completed and the Board decides to seek another transaction, there can be no assurance that it will be able to find an equivalent or more attractive alternative.

 At the Meeting, Shareholders will be approving the normal course election of the Board. If the Transaction is not approved, the Board will consist
of the five directors elected at the Meeting and not the directors elected pursuant to the Transaction. 
 See “Business of the Meeting –
IV. The Transaction – Transaction Agreements” and “Business of the Meeting – IV. The Transaction – Risk Factors”. 

Can Shareholders approve only a portion of the Transaction? 

No. Shareholders are being asked to approve the Transaction as a whole, including the issuances of Common Shares and the 2018 Warrants, the change to
the size of the Board, the election of a new board of directors, the Subscription Agreement, the A&R IRA and other ancillary documents. The Transaction was negotiated between the Corporation and Constellation as an integrated package and
Shareholders may not vote to approve only parts of the Transaction. 
 What does the Board think of the Transaction? 

The Board, after consultation with its legal and financial advisors, unanimously determined that the Transaction is in the best interests of the
Corporation and fair to Shareholders, other than Constellation and its affiliates. The Board unanimously recommends that Minority Shareholders vote FOR the Transaction Approval Resolution. 

Has the Corporation received a fairness opinion in connection with the Transaction? 

In making its recommendation that Shareholders vote FOR the Transaction Approval Resolution, the Board carefully considered a number of factors
described in this Circular, including receipt of the Fairness Opinion. On August 14, 2018, the Financial Advisor provided its opinion to the Board that, based upon and subject to the assumptions, qualifications and limitations set out in the
Fairness Opinion, the Financial Advisor was of the opinion that, as of such date, the consideration to be received by the Corporation pursuant to the Investment was fair, from a financial point of view, to the Corporation. The full text of the
Fairness Opinion can be found at Schedule B to this Management Information Circular. 
 When does the Corporation expect the Transaction will be
effective? 
 If approved by the Shareholders at the Meeting and the other closing conditions are satisfied, it is anticipated that the
Transaction will be consummated by the end of October 2018.

 What approvals are required for the Transaction? 

The closing of the Transaction is subject to approval by not less than a majority of the votes cast, in person or by proxy, by the Minority Shareholders
at the Meeting. The Transaction is also subject to obtaining regulatory approvals under the Competition Act (Canada) and Investment Canada Act, and other customary closing conditions, including approval by the TSX and New York Stock
Exchange and receipt of any required third-party consents. See “Business of the Meeting – IV. The Transaction – Transaction Documents”, “Business of the Meeting – IV. The Transaction – Toronto Stock Exchange”
and “Business of the Meeting – IV. The Transaction – MI – 61-101 Related Party Transaction Information”. The Transaction is not subject to any financing or due diligence condition.

 What will the impact of the Transaction be on the Corporation? 

Pursuant to the Transaction, CBG will acquire an aggregate of 104,500,000 Common Shares for over $5 billion, and 139,745,453 2018 Warrants, which
if exercised would realize additional proceeds of at least $4.5 billion for the Corporation. The Common Shares to be issued represent approximately 47% of the currently issued and outstanding Common Shares and the 2018 Warrants represent
approximately 63% of the currently issued and outstanding Common Shares. As a result of the Investment, Constellation and its affiliates will hold approximately 38% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares (assuming the full exercise of the 2017
Warrants), and, upon exercise of the 2018 Warrants. Constellation and its affiliates would hold approximately 58.5% of the then issued and outstanding Common Shares or approximately 55% of the then issued and outstanding Common Shares on a
fully-diluted basis (as more particularly described in this Circular). 
 In addition, Constellation and its affiliates will have certain rights under
the A&R IRA, including the right to nominate four members of the Corporation’s Board. In addition, Constellation and its affiliates will have certain approval rights over certain fundamental transactions that may be undertaken by the
Corporation. 
 What is going to happen to the Canopy Board? 

Although this Circular contemplates the election of directors to serve and hold office in connection with the Corporation’s annual director
elections, the Corporation anticipates that upon closing of the Transaction, as a result of the Transaction Approval Resolution, the composition of the Board will be reconstituted. Specifically, the Transaction Approval Resolution contemplates that
Murray Goldman and Chris Schnarr will be removed as directors effective as of the closing of the Transaction and William Newlands, David Klein and Judy Schmeling will be elected as directors of the Corporation as nominees of CBG. In the event of the
closing of the Transaction, as a result of the Transaction Approval Resolution, the Board will be reconstituted to consist of Bruce Linton, John Bell, Peter Stringham, William Newlands, David Klein and Judy Schmeling, each of whom will hold office
until the next annual meeting of Shareholders or until his or her successor is duly elected or appointed pursuant to the by-laws of the Corporation and in accordance with the A&R IRA. 

Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement and the A&R IRA, Canopy and CBG have agreed that the Board will comprise seven directors, four of whom will
be nominees of CBG. At the Meeting, the Transaction Approval Resolution contemplates that only six directors will be elected, of which, three will be nominees of CBG. Following completion of the Transaction, once CBG and Canopy identify and select a
seventh CBG Nominee in accordance with the Subscription Agreement, the Board will exercise its authority under the Canada Business Corporations Act to increase the size of the Board to seven members to satisfy the Corporation’s
obligations under the A&R IRA and will appoint such CBG Nominee to fill the vacancy to hold office until the next annual meeting of Shareholders or until his or her successor is duly elected or appointed pursuant to the by-laws of the Corporation and in accordance with the A&R IRA.

 Voting Information

 The following are some of the general questions that you, as a Shareholder, may have in respect of voting at the Meeting and
answers to those questions. These questions are provided for convenience only and should be read in conjunction with this Circular. 
 Proxy
Solicitation 
 You received this Circular in connection with management’s solicitation of proxies for the Meeting of
Shareholders of the Corporation. The Meeting will be held at the time and place and to transact the business set out in the notice of annual and special meeting accompanying this Circular. The Corporation is soliciting proxies
primarily by mail. Proxies may also be solicited personally or by telephone by employees, officers and directors of the Corporation. The Corporation has retained Kingsdale Advisors (the “Proxy Solicitation Agent”), as its strategic
shareholder advisor and proxy solicitation agent to assist it in connection with the Corporation’s communications with Shareholders. Questions may be directed to Kingsdale Advisors by telephone at 1-877-657-5857 (toll free in North America) or
1-416-867-2272 (collect outside North America) or by email at contactus@kingsdaleadvisors.com. The engagement agreement
with the Proxy Solicitation Agent contains customary terms and conditions which provide that the Proxy Solicitation Agent will be paid a fee of $150,000 plus
out-of-pocket expenses. The Corporation may also utilize the QuickvoteTM Service of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. to assist eligible non-registered holders with voting their shares. Pursuant to National Instrument 54-101 – Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer
(“NI 54-101”), arrangements have been made with clearing agencies, brokerage houses and other financial intermediaries to forward proxy solicitation materials to non-registered holders of the Common Shares. The Corporation pays the costs of soliciting proxies. 
 Who can
vote 
 On August 8, 2018, the date for determining which Shareholders are entitled to vote at the Meeting (the “Record
Date”), there were 221,495,800 outstanding Common Shares that were eligible to vote on each of the matters to be voted on at the Meeting. To meet the requirements of Multilateral Instrument 61-101
– Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”), the Common Shares voted by Minority Shareholders will be counted separately. Completion of
the Transaction will require approval by a majority of votes cast, in person or by proxy, by Minority Shareholders at the Meeting. 
 How many
votes do you get 
 You are entitled to one vote for each common share registered in your name or beneficially owned by you on the Record
Date. 
 How to vote 
 How you vote
depends on whether you are a “non-registered holder” (or “beneficial owner”) or “registered holder” of Common Shares. Most Shareholders are
non-registered holders. Information regarding voting is set out in the table below.

	 	 	 	 	Type of Shareholder
	 	 	 	 	 
	  	 	  	 	Non-registered holders	 	  	  	Registered holders
			 	 		
	 Determining what type of Shareholder you are
	 	 	 	 You are a non-registered holder if Common Shares are
held in the name of an intermediary, such as a bank, trust company, securities broker or trustee, or a clearing agency (such as CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc.) in which the intermediary is a participant, and therefore do not have the
shares registered in your own name.
  
 For your shares to be voted,
carefully follow the instructions on the voting instruction form that you have received from your intermediary in the package containing this Circular.
	 	 	  	 You are a registered holder if your name appears on a certificate representing the Common Shares
or, if registered electronically, the Common Shares are registered with the Corporation’s transfer agent in your name and not held on your behalf by an intermediary. You may vote in person at the Meeting or appoint another person, called a
proxyholder, to attend the Meeting and vote on your behalf (see “Appointing a Different Proxyholder” below for details).
  

Carefully follow the instructions on the form of proxy that you have received in the package containing this Circular.
	 	 
			 	 		
	 To vote in person at the Meeting
	 	 	 	 Insert your name in the space provided or mark the appropriate box on the enclosed voting
instruction form to appoint yourself as the proxyholder, sign and date the form (do not complete the voting section) and return it in the envelope provided or as otherwise permitted by your intermediary. A form of proxy will then be mailed to you.
Ensure that you register with Corporation, Computershare Investor Services Inc. (the “Transfer Agent”), when you arrive at the Meeting.
	 	 	  	 Do not complete the form of proxy or return it. Ensure that you register with the Transfer
Agent when you arrive at the Meeting.
	 	 
			 	 		
	 To vote by proxy if you do not wish to attend the Meeting
	 	 	 	 Complete the enclosed voting instruction form and return it in the envelope provided or as
otherwise permitted by your intermediary. You can either mark your voting instructions in the voting section of the form or appoint a proxyholder to attend the Meeting and vote your shares for you (see “Appointing a Different Proxyholder”
below for details).
	 	 	  	 Mail: Complete and sign the enclosed form of proxy or another legal form of proxy and return the
form in the envelope provided or as otherwise indicated on the form of proxy (see “Appointing a Different Proxyholder” below for details).

Online: Complete and sign the enclosed form of proxy and follow the instructions on your proxy form to vote online using the control number on your

	  	 	  	  	Non-registered holders	 	  	  	Registered holders
			 	 		
	 Returning the form
	 	 	  	 Carefully follow the instructions of their intermediary, including those regarding when and
where the voting instruction form is to be delivered.
	 	 	  	 Completed forms of proxy must be received by the Transfer Agent at:

 
 100 University Ave., 8th Floor, Toronto, ON M5J 2Y1

 
 Attention: Proxy Department

 
 in the enclosed envelope, not later than 48 hours before the Meeting.
Late proxies may be accepted or rejected by the chair of the Meeting in his or her sole discretion, and the chair is under no obligation to accept or reject any particular proxy.
	 	 
			 	 		
	 Changing your vote
	 	 	  	 Please contact your intermediary for directions on how to revoke your voting
instructions.
	 	 	  	 If you have signed and returned the enclosed form of proxy or another legal form of proxy, you
may revoke it by depositing written notification (a) at the registered office of the Corporation, at 515 Legget Drive, Suite 800, Ottawa, ON K2K 3G4 Attention: Chief Financial Officer, at any time up to and including the last business day
preceding the day of the Meeting, or an adjournment thereof, (b) by phone or online through the transfer agent up to and including the second last business day preceding the day or the Meeting, or an adjournment thereof, or (c) with the
Chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof.
	 	 

 A non-registered holder may fall into two categories: (i) those who object
to their identity being made known to the issuers of the securities which they own (“Objecting Beneficial Owners”); and (ii) those who do not object to their identity being made known to the issuers of the securities which they
own (“Non-Objecting Beneficial Owners”). Subject to the provisions of NI 54-101, issuers may request and obtain a list of their Non-Objecting Beneficial Owners from intermediaries. Pursuant to NI 54-101, issuers may obtain and use the Non-Objecting Beneficial
Owners list in connection with any matters relating to the affairs of the issuer, including the distribution of proxy-related materials directly to Non-Objecting Beneficial Owners. The Corporation is sending
meeting materials directly to Non-Objecting Beneficial Owners and uses and pays intermediaries and agents to send the meeting materials to such Shareholders. The Corporation intends to pay for intermediaries
to deliver the Meeting materials to Objecting Beneficial Owners. 
 The meeting materials are being sent to both registered holders and non-registered holders. If the Corporation or its agents have sent these materials directly to a non-registered holder, such
non-registered holder’s name, address and information about holdings of securities have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the intermediary holding
securities on such non-registered holder’s behalf. 
 By choosing to send the meeting materials to
directly to non-registered holders, the Corporation (and not the intermediary holding securities on behalf of a non-registered holder) have assumed responsibility for
delivering these materials to non-registered holders, and executing the non-registered holder’s proper 

  
 9 

 
voting instructions. Non-registered holders should return their voting instruction form as specified in the request for voting instructions that was sent
to them. 
 Appointing a different proxyholder 

You can appoint a different proxyholder if you are a registered holder or non-registered holder. The persons
named as proxyholders in the enclosed form of proxy or voting instruction form are directors and/or officers of the Corporation. If you wish to appoint a different person to represent you at the Meeting, you may do so in one of the ways set out
in the table below. Proxies must be received by the Transfer Agent or at the registered office of the Corporation at least 48 hours before the Meeting. Contact information for the Transfer Agent and for the registered office of the Corporation
is set out above under the headings “Registered holders – Returning the Form” and “Registered holders – Changing your Vote”. 
  

					
	 	 	 
	Registered holders	 	  	  	Non-registered holder
	 		 
	 Strike out the names of the persons designated
in the accompanying form of proxy and insert the name of the person you wish to appoint in the blank space provided, or execute another legal form of proxy.
  

Deliver the proxy in the envelope provided or as otherwise indicated on the form of proxy.
	 	 	  	 Insert the person’s name in the blank
space provided in the voting instruction form provided by your intermediary.
  

Follow the voting procedures provided by your intermediary and return the voting instructions in a manner permitted by your intermediary.

 Your proxyholder must attend the Meeting in person in order for your vote to be taken. 

How your proxy will be voted 
 If you
are eligible to vote and you have properly voted, the proxyholder will be required to vote your common shares in accordance with your instructions. With respect to the election of directors and the appointment of the auditor, you may vote FOR or
WITHHOLD. With respect to the approval of the Transaction, you may vote FOR or AGAINST. In all cases, an abstention will be counted as present for quorum purposes but will not be counted as a vote cast in determining whether the requisite majority
of votes cast has approved each shareholder proposal. Unless otherwise specified, if you appoint the director and/or officer designated as the proxyholder in the enclosed form of proxy or voting instruction form your shares will be voted FOR the
appointment of Deloitte LLP as auditor and to authorize the Board to set their remuneration, FOR the election of each nominee set out under the heading “Director Nominees” and FOR the Transaction Approval Resolution. 

The enclosed form of proxy or voting instruction form gives authority to the persons named on it to use their discretion in voting on amendments or
variations to matters identified in this Circular, or other matters that may properly come before the Meeting. As of the time of printing of this Circular, management is not aware of any amendment, variation or other matter expected to come before
the Meeting. If other matters properly come before the Meeting, it is intended that the person appointed as proxyholder will vote on them in such manner as the proxyholder considers proper in his or her discretion. 

Shareholder approval 
 A simple
majority of the votes cast, in person or by proxy, will constitute approval of each matter specified in this Circular; provided however that in respect of the Transaction Approval Resolution, such votes shall exclude the Common Shares beneficially
held by Constellation, or over which it exercises control or direction.

 Business of the Meeting

 I. Receipt of Financial Statements 

The Corporation’s audited financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis for the year ended March 31, 2018, together with
the auditor’s report on those statements, will be presented to the Shareholders at the Meeting. 
 II. Appointment of Auditor 

Deloitte LLP (“Deloitte”) has been the auditor of the Corporation since March 25, 2014. The Audit Committee of the Board has
assessed the performance and independence of Deloitte and the Board recommends that Deloitte be reappointed as auditor of the Corporation until the close of the next annual shareholders’ meeting. 

Unless otherwise instructed, the persons designated in the enclosed form of proxy or voting instruction form intend to vote FOR the reappointment of
Deloitte as the Corporation’s auditor and to authorize the Board to fix their remuneration. 
 The Board recommends that you vote FOR the appointment of
Deloitte LLP as auditor and to authorize the Board to fix their remuneration. 
 III. Election of Directors 

The Board presently consists of five directors, all of whom were elected at the last annual meeting of shareholders. Information about each nominated
director can be found in the “– Director Nominees” section of this Circular. Shareholders can vote for all of the proposed directors set forth herein, vote for some of them and withhold for others, or withhold for all of them.
Each director elected will hold office until the next annual meeting of Shareholders or until his successor is duly elected or appointed pursuant to the by-laws of the Corporation. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Transaction Approval Resolution is approved at the Meeting, upon closing of the Transaction, the Board will be
reconstituted and will consist of Bruce Linton, 

  
 11 

 
John Bell, Peter Stringham, William Newlands, David Klein and Judy Schmeling, each of whom will hold 

office until the next annual meeting of Shareholders or until his or her successor is duly elected or 

appointed pursuant to the by-laws of the Corporation and in accordance with the A&R IRA. See
“Business of the Meeting – IV. The Transaction – CBG Nominees”. 
 In August 2016, the Board adopted a “majority
voting” policy which stipulates that if a director nominee receives more “withhold” votes than “for” votes at an uncontested shareholders meeting, then such nominee must immediately tender his or her resignation for
consideration by the Corporate Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee. The Corporate Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee will consider the director nominee’s offer to resign and will make a recommendation to the Board
to accept the resignation unless exceptional circumstances exist that would warrant the applicable director continuing to serve on the Board. Within 90 days of the date of the relevant shareholders’ meeting, upon considering the Corporate
Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee’s recommendation, the Board will accept the director’s offer to resign unless exceptional circumstances exist that warrant the director remaining on the Board. The resignation will be
effective when accepted by the Board. A news release will be issued promptly to announce the decision that is reached by the Board and if the Board chooses to not accept a director’s offer to resign, the news release will fully describe the
reasons for that decision. No director that is required to tender his or her resignation pursuant to the “majority voting” policy shall participate in the deliberations or recommendations of the Corporate Governance, Compensation and
Nominating Committee or the Board with respect to the director’s offer to resign. The Board may fill any vacancy resulting from a resignation pursuant to the “majority voting” policy in accordance with the Corporation’s by-laws and articles and applicable corporate laws. A copy of the majority voting policy is available at www.sedar.com. 

Unless otherwise instructed, the persons designated in the enclosed form of proxy or voting instruction form intend to vote FOR the nominees listed in
the “Director Nominees” section of this Circular. If, for any reason at the time of the Meeting, any of the nominees are unable to serve, and unless otherwise instructed, the persons designated in the enclosed form of proxy or voting
instruction form may vote in their discretion for any substitute nominee(s). 
 The Board recommends that you vote FOR the election as director
of each nominee whose name is set out under the heading “Director Nominees”.

 IV. The Transaction 

Background to the Transaction 

On November 2, 2017 Greenstar, an affiliate of Constellation, made an initial investment in the Corporation of $244,990,084.25 on a private
placement basis to acquire from the Corporation: (i) 18,876,901 Common Shares at a price per share of $12.9783 and (ii) 18,876,901 Common Share purchase warrants (referred to herein as the 2017 Warrants) (the “Initial Investment”).
The exercise price of the 2017 Warrants is $12.9783 (subject to customary adjustments). The 2017 Warrants are exercisable in two equal tranches, with the first tranche having become exercisable on August 1, 2018 and the second becoming
exercisable on February 1, 2019. Subject to certain exceptions, the 2017 Warrants will expire on May 1, 2020. The Corporation principally used the proceeds from the issuance of the Common Shares in the Initial Investment to fund the
expansion of its international growing platform and to support ongoing investments in value-add processing and new product development and research. 

In connection with the Initial Investment, Constellation received Board observer rights, information access rights, inspection rights and certain
intellectual property rights pursuant to an investor rights agreement dated October 27, 2017 and a commercialization agreement dated October 27, 2017 (the “Commercialization Agreement”). Pursuant to the Commercialization
Agreement, Constellation has been providing broad support to the Corporation in the areas of consumer analytics, market trending, marketing and brand development to the Corporation focused primarily on beverages. In addition, the Corporation and
Constellation have been collaborating to develop and market cannabis-based beverages that can be marketed as adult use products in markets where and when such products are legal. 

In June 2018, the Corporation raised $600 million aggregate principal amount through the issuance of the Convertible Notes, $200 million of
which were subscribed for by Greenstar. The conversion price for the Convertible Notes is currently $48.17 per Common Share, subject to adjustment. 

Since the completion of the Initial Investment, representatives of Canopy and Constellation have been working collaboratively with a view to assessing
opportunities for development of the cannabis-based beverage market and the creation of new brands under which the companies could market such products. 

  
 16 

 In late July 2018, Bruce Linton, the Corporation’s Chairman of the Board and Co-Chief Executive Officer, met with David Klein, the Chief Financial Officer of Constellation, and Garth Hankinson, Senior Vice President, Corporate Development of Constellation. During the meeting, Messrs. Klein
and Hankinson first presented the conceptual idea of Constellation taking a larger position in Canopy with a view to using Canopy as Constellation’s sole platform for addressing the cannabis market. 

On July 28, 2018, the Corporation contacted the Financial Advisor to engage the Financial Advisor as its exclusive financial advisor in connection
with the potential transaction involving Constellation. 
 On July 30, 2018, Mr. Hankinson telephoned Mr. Linton to advise him that
Constellation would be delivering a non-binding indicative term sheet regarding a possible transaction to increase Constellation’s stake in the Corporation. Later that day, Mr. Hankinson delivered
such term sheet to Mr. Linton that contemplated a private placement of Common Shares that would result in Constellation holding approximately 40% of the outstanding Common Shares and additional warrants that would, on exercise, result in
Constellation holding approximately 55% of the outstanding Common Shares. Such term sheet also contemplated an amended investor rights agreement that would provide Constellation with board representation and additional rights. 

On August 1, 2018, Mr. Linton, together with Mark Zekulin, the Co-Chief Executive Officer and
President of Canopy, Tim Saunders, the Chief Financial Officer of Canopy, and Phil Shaer, the Chief Legal Officer of Canopy, met with Mr. Klein, Mr. Hankinson and Jim Bourdeau, Executive Vice President and General Counsel of Constellation,
to discuss the proposed transaction contemplated by the non-binding indicative term sheet. During the meeting, the parties discussed various aspects of the proposed transaction, including possible transaction
structures, pricing and revisions to the investor rights agreement in favour of Constellation and the strategic commercialization agreement between the companies. 

During August 2 and 3, 2018, Messrs. Linton, Zekulin, Saunders and Shaer met with Messrs. Hankinson and Bourdeau to further discuss the structure
of a potential transaction as well as the terms under which the proposed investment might be completed on a basis satisfactory to Constellation and Canopy. 

During the evening of August 6, 2018, Constellation provided Canopy with initial drafts of the proposed Subscription Agreement and A&R IRA for
discussion purposes. 
 On August 7, 2018, the Board met to discuss the benefits and risks of the proposed transaction and the prospect of an
expanded relationship with Constellation. During the meeting, the Board considered the proposed treasury offering of Common Shares at a market valued premium for aggregate proceeds of approximately $5 billion, which would result in
Constellation’s indirect aggregate ownership increasing to approximately 40% (excluding the Convertible Notes held by Constellation, but assuming exercise of the 2017 Warrants). The Board also discussed the possibility of issuing warrants to
purchase additional Common Shares to Constellation that would result in Constellation’s aggregate indirect ownership increasing to approximately 55% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares. The Board discussed pricing considerations for the
warrants, taking into account the need for the exercise price to be at a significant premium to current market prices. In assessing the transaction, the Board considered views provided by Constellation with respect to its proposal to increase its
position in the Corporation, including Constellation’s strategic decision to expand its investment in the cannabis industry and the benefits of partnering with the Corporation as its exclusive platform and global partner. The Board discussed
the benefits of the transaction and the availability of financing to support the Corporation’s growth prospects. 
 The Board also considered the
benefits of a stronger relationship with Constellation, including Constellation’s global presence in consumer trends, shifting preferences and Constellation’s market insights and ability to build strong connections to distinct brand
positioning connecting consumers with brand loyalty. In assessing the proposed transaction, the Board assessed the merits of the transaction, its prospects for the use of proceeds from the transaction and a variety of potential risks and adverse
considerations that the transaction presented for the Corporation. 

  
 17 

 During the meeting of the Board held on August 7, 2018, legal counsel to the Corporation
confirmed that the proposed transaction would require the approval of Minority Shareholders. Constellation’s Board observer did not attend such meeting or any subsequent Board meeting at which the proposed transaction was discussed. 

On August 8, 2018, representatives of Canopy, the Financial Advisor and LaBarge Weinstein LLP, legal counsel to the Corporation, attended a
conference call with representatives of Constellation, Goldman Sachs, Constellation’s financial advisor, and Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP, legal counsel to Constellation. During the call, the parties discussed the risks and merits of a
potential transaction, the necessary approvals of such a transaction and certain terms of the proposed transaction. 
 Later that day, to facilitate
ongoing discussions and negotiations, representatives of Constellation travelled to Ottawa to meet with representatives of Canopy and its advisors. 

During the period from August 8, 2018 through August 13, 2018, representatives of Constellation attended at the offices of LaBarge Weinstein
LLP in Ottawa, together with representatives of their financial advisor, Goldman Sachs. During this period, representatives of Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP also participated in discussions and negotiations with representatives of
Constellation and Canopy. Representatives of Constellation and its advisors continued to meet with representatives of the Corporation, the Financial Advisor and its external legal counsel over that period. During such meetings, the parties discussed
and negotiated the terms and conditions upon which the transaction would be completed. During this period, legal counsel for the Corporation and Constellation also prepared and negotiated drafts of the proposed Subscription Agreement and A&R IRA
for review and consideration by the parties. 
 On August 10, 2018, the Board met to discuss and consider the potential transaction. During the
meeting, management updated the Board with respect to the status of discussions and provided an overview of the draft transaction documents. Among other things, the Board discussed the benefits of the potential transaction to the Corporation and its
Shareholders, possible alternative transactions and structures, the proposed composition of the Board and prospective uses for the proceeds of the offering. In assessing possible alternative transactions, the Board considered the benefits and risks
of the proposed transaction as compared to the benefits and risks of a stand-alone strategy, with or without Constellation, as well as the merits of a possible strategic review process that could consider a sale of the business. 

On August 12, 2018, the independent members of the Board met for an update with respect to the status of the proposed transaction. The
Corporation’s legal counsel and the Financial Advisor attended the meeting. During the meeting, the Corporation’s legal counsel reviewed the duties and responsibilities of the Board generally and considerations relating to the process
undertaken by the Corporation in the course of negotiations with Constellation, including the determination of the Corporation not to undertake a broader strategic process. The independent members of the Board also discussed alternatives to the
proposed transaction. During the meeting, the Financial Advisor discussed strategic alternatives and the impact of the proposed transaction on the Corporation’s minority shareholders. 

On August 14, 2018, representatives of the Corporation and Constellation, together with their advisors, participated in substantial discussion with
respect to the proposed transaction documents. 
 During the afternoon of August 14, 2018, the Board met to consider the transaction and the
Corporation’s financial statements. Shortly after the close of markets on August 14, 2018, the Corporation released its financial statements for the three-month period ended June 30, 2018. 

During the evening of August 14, 2018, representatives of Canopy and Constellation, together with their financial advisors and legal counsel,
settled the terms of the proposed transaction and the Subscription Agreement and A&R IRA. Representatives of Constellation advised Canopy that the board of directors of Constellation had approved the proposed transaction. 

  
 18 

 Later that night of August 14, 2018, the Board met to consider the transaction. During the
meeting, members of management, the Corporation’s external legal counsel and the Financial Advisor formally presented the settled terms of the transaction. Representatives of the Corporation’s legal counsel reviewed with the Board the
material terms of the proposed definitive agreements to give effect to the transaction. Following a discussion of the terms, the Financial Advisor reviewed the proposed transaction from a financial point of view. The Financial Advisor delivered an
oral presentation to the Board, which included an oral opinion to the effect that, as of that date, the consideration to be received by the Corporation pursuant to the Transaction was fair, from a financial point of view, to the Corporation.
Following the meeting, the Financial Advisor confirmed its oral opinion by delivery of a written fairness opinion dated as of August 14, 2018, a copy of which is attached as Schedule B to this Circular. 

Following completion of the presentations, the Board discussed the proposed transaction. In assessing the transaction, the Board considered the reasons
for and the risks in relation to the transaction described elsewhere in this Circular. After discussion and consideration, the Board concluded that the significant benefits to the Corporation of the Transaction justified pursuing and advancing the
Transaction. The Board therefore unanimously determined that that the Transaction was in the best interests of the Corporation and fair to Shareholders (other than the Excluded Shareholders). The Board unanimously approved the entering into of the
Subscription Agreement. 
 Following completion of the Board meeting, late in the night on August 14, 2018, Canopy and Constellation executed and
delivered the Subscription Agreement, and a press release announcing the Transaction was disseminated early in the morning on August 15, 2018. 

Recommendation of the Board 

The Board, after consultation with its legal and financial advisors, unanimously determined that the Transaction is in the best interests of the
Corporation and is fair to Minority Shareholders of the Corporation (the “Board Recommendation”). The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote FOR the Transaction Approval Resolution. 

Reasons for Recommendation of the Board 

In making its recommendation that Shareholders vote FOR the Transaction, the Board carefully considered a number of factors, including those listed
below. The Board based its recommendation upon the totality of the information presented to and considered by it in light of its knowledge of the business, financial condition and prospects of the Corporation, after having undertaken a thorough
review of, and having carefully considered the terms of the Transaction, and after consulting with financial and legal advisors, including receiving the Fairness Opinion. 

The following summary of the information and factors considered by the Board is not intended to be exhaustive, but includes a summary of the material
information and factors considered in the consideration of the Transaction. In view of the variety of factors and the amount of information considered in connection with the consideration of the Transaction, the Board did not find it practicable to,
and did not, quantify or otherwise attempt to assign any relative weight to each of the specific factors considered in reaching its conclusions and recommendations. The Transaction was determined to be in the best interests of the Corporation and
fair to all Shareholders (other than Constellation and its affiliates) and unanimously approved by the Board. In addition, the Board was unanimous in its recommendation to the Shareholders to vote FOR the Transaction. 

 

	 	•	 	 Our Cooperation with Constellation is Now Expanded Beyond Beverages to Include all of our Products.
Canopy will benefit from Constellation’s expertise and resources across the entire breadth of current and new products. The current partnership between Canopy and Constellation is limited to non-alcoholic
cannabis-based beverages. Under the expanded strategic partnership, Canopy can more effectively expand and improve products in existing markets and
come-to-

  
 19 

	 	 
market with new, competitive product offerings. Partnership across the entire suite of cannabis-related products will enable Constellation and Canopy to control the consumer relationship and
delivery science as the global market explores legal cannabis frameworks. Further, we expect cannabis to demonstrate similar category dynamics to total beverage alcohol: premium consumer brands, channel & distribution complexity, and
large-scale production requirements, all of which play to the strengths of Constellation. 

  

	 	•	 	 Provides Substantial Financial Benefit to the Corporation. If the Transaction closes, the aggregate
subscription price payable by CBG to the Corporation will be approximately $5.079 billion, plus an additional $4.459 billion if Constellation exercises its Tranche A Warrants and additional proceeds if Constellation exercises its Tranche B
Warrants. Such proceeds will substantially strengthen the Corporation’s balance sheet, thus allowing it to, among other benefits, significantly accelerate its global expansion plans, deploy funds to strategically build and/or acquire key assets
needed to establish global scale, provide a strong signal to the market about its leadership position, reinforce its first mover advantage by expanding globally as new markets and opportunities emerge, and maintain management’s focus on
executing the Corporation’s business plan instead of fund-raising in the capital markets. Inevitably, the expansion of the global cannabis market will attract competitors with greater financial resources than currently exist today. With the
Investment, the Corporation will be able to secure sufficient capital resources to fund growth at the speed and scale required to compete with well-funded new entrants and cement Canopy’s position as both a current and future market leader.

  

	 	•	 	 Offers a Significant Premium to the Common Share Trading Price. CBG is acquiring the Investment Common
Shares at a price of C$48.60 per share, which represented a 37.9% premium to the five-day volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Common Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange and a 51.2%
premium to the closing price on August 14, 2018. As part of its investment, Constellation is receiving 139.7 million new warrants, which are exercisable for a three-year period following the Closing Date in accordance with their terms. Of
those, 88.5 million are exercisable at a price per share of C$50.40, a 43% premium to Canopy’s VWAP and a 56.8% premium to the closing price on August 14, 2018. 

 

	 	•	 	 Expands Strategic Partnership with Constellation. Although Constellation currently holds an 8.5% equity
stake in the Corporation through Greenstar (or approximately 16.5% including its 2017 Warrants), the Transaction would result in Constellation holding a significantly larger equity stake of approximately 38% (including its 2017 Warrants, 55%
assuming full exercise of the 2017 and 2018 Warrants) (please refer to the description of how these percentages are calculated under the heading “Questions and Answers About the Transaction – Why I should vote in favour of the
Transaction”). In connection with the Transaction, under the A&R IRA, Constellation has agreed that it will use the Corporation for all of its cannabis opportunities. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Services Agreement, the
Corporation is expected to benefit from Constellation’s understanding of brand-building, marketing, consumer insights, and mergers and acquisition activities, as well as the strength and experience of the CBG Nominees (as new additions to the
Board). 

  

	 	•	 	 Constellation Brands is a Global Leader in the Total Beverage Alcohol Category.
Constellation’s strategic partnership will provide expertise in consumer insights, and a proven ability to translate those insights into strong consumer connections and brand loyalty. Further, Canopy will benefit from Constellation’s
global footprint as a platform for expansion. The new partnership provides the financial strength, resources, and production expertise required to continue Canopy’s aggressive expansion into new markets and cultivate brand equity as a first
mover and market leader. Canopy will also benefit from Constellation’s knowledge and experience operating in the regulated alcoholic beverage industry, which are expected to be transferrable to the cannabis industry, including, in particular,
with respect to production, brand 

  
 20 

	 	 
building, distribution and retail. 

  

	 	•	 	 Ability to Accept Alternative Proposals. Prior to obtaining shareholder approval, the Corporation is still
permitted to consider alternative transactions that are submitted to it. In addition, the Transaction may be terminated by the Board if prior to obtaining the shareholder approval, the Board authorizes the Corporation to enter into a proposed
agreement for an alternative Acquisition Proposal that constitutes a “Superior Proposal”, provided that the Corporation is then in compliance with its covenant not to solicit alternative Acquisition Proposals and that prior to or
concurrent with such termination the Corporation pays a termination fee, subject to the terms of the Subscription Agreement. 

  

	 	•	 	 Shareholder Approval. The Transaction will not be completed unless it is approved by not less than a
majority of the votes cast at the Meeting by Minority Shareholders. See “– Shareholder Resolution.” 

  

	 	•	 	 Fairness Opinion. The Board received the Fairness Opinion from the Financial Advisor as described in
greater detail under “– Fairness Opinion”. 

  

	 	•	 	 Likelihood of Closing. The Initial Investment closed on November 2, 2017. As a result of the Initial
Investment, Constellation already beneficially owns 8.5% of the current issued and outstanding Common Shares and holds Warrants that, if exercised, would result in Constellation holding approximately 16.5% of the then outstanding Common Shares. The
obligation of CBG to complete the Investment is subject to a limited number of closing conditions and is not subject to a due diligence or any financing condition. CBG has represented to the Corporation in the Subscription Agreement that it had on
August 14, 2018, and will have on the closing date of the Transaction, cash on hand or sufficient financing to permit CBG to perform its financial obligations under the Subscription Agreement. 

 

	 	•	 	 Constellation’s Certainty to Provide Financing. Relative to other capital raise alternatives,
in either debt or future equity markets, the Board is confident in Constellation’s ability to finance and close the Transaction. Should the Transaction not be completed and the Board decides to seek another source of capital, there is no
assurance that Canopy will receive financing or sufficient financing from another party on similar or more favorable terms. 

  

	 	•	 	 Adequate Capitalization Today at a Premium Allows Us to Avoid Future Dilution, Potentially at a
Discount. Constellation’s investment provides Canopy with sufficient resources to fund ambitious and robust long-term growth plans. The benefit of a transaction of this scale is twofold; firstly, it provides Canopy with
the financial flexibility to opportunistically invest in and acquire key assets, without having to raise additional capital. Additional funding requirements may slow down, due to process time and market risks, or altogether inhibit Canopy’s
ability to finance opportune growth investments. Secondly, Constellation’s conviction in both the growth opportunity of the cannabis industry and Canopy’s market-leading capabilities provides rationale for a favorable premium to
Canopy’s historical share price. In a subsequent capital raising event, Canopy risks raising capital at a discount to market prices, creating incremental dilution or earnings destructive financing terms. Constellation’s proposed investment
has allowed Canopy and the Board to understand and assess the terms the Transaction without the urgency of time-sensitive capital requirements. 

  

	 	•	 	 Constellation’s Commitment to an Investment in Canopy Ensures Long Term Alignment.
Constellation views the evolving global cannabis market as a major, long-term growth opportunity. The emergence of a global, legal cannabis industry is creating high-growth business opportunities that could achieve sufficient scale and
consumption to rival beverage alcohol. Constellation’s long-term strategy involves the identification, meeting, and leading of evolving 

  
 21 

	 	 
consumer trends and market dynamics. Recognition of the potential cannabis market opportunity requires a recognition that consumers are evolving to integrate cannabis into both their recreational
and medical-related product repertoire. Constellation is committed to meeting and growing with these shifting consumer preferences through long-term involvement in the cannabis industry. Canopy provides the deep expertise and industry knowledge,
well established R&D and production capabilities, and market leadership to support the sustainability of this involvement. The size of the Transaction is a testament to Constellation’s conviction of the long-term growth opportunities
provided by this market and Canopy’s ability to establish sustainable, global leadership. 

  

	 	•	 	 Constellation’s Covenants in Favour of Canopy. Under the A&R IRA,
from the Closing Date until the earlier of (A) the date on which the 2018 Warrants have been exercised by CBG, and (B) the expiry or termination of the 2018 Warrants, Constellation and its affiliates shall not, directly or indirectly,
acquire Common Shares on any stock exchange on which the Common Shares are listed or in private agreement transactions with Shareholders. The parties also agreed that CBG may make a take-over bid or tender offer in respect of the Corporation in
accordance with applicable securities laws, provided that for a period commencing on the Closing Date and ending nine months thereafter, Constellation and its affiliates may not make a take-over bid or tender offer in respect of the Corporation for
a price per Common Share of less than $54.00. Finally, while the A&R IRA is in force, Constellation and its affiliates are prohibited from engaging in any lending or short selling of Common Shares or trading involving the use of equity
equivalent derivatives in respect of the Common Shares. These covenants in favour of the Corporation are intended to provide market stability and preserve the value of the Corporation. Accordingly, following the Closing Date if Constellation wishes
to increase its ownership stake in Canopy over the mid-term (other than through the exercise of the 2017 Warrants and Tranche B Warrants), it will need to do so at a significant premium to the closing price of
the Common Shares on August 14, 2018. 

 Risk Factors Concerning the Transaction 

In the course of its deliberations, the Board also identified and considered a variety of risks (as described in greater detail under “Risk
Factors”) and potentially negative factors relating to the Transaction, including the following: 
  

	 	•	 	 The Transaction will result in significant dilution to Shareholders. 

 

	 	•	 	 The Transaction will result in Constellation holding, directly or indirectly, a significant voting interest in the
Corporation, giving it significant influence over the Corporation, including the ability to nominate 4 out of 7 Board members and certain contractual shareholder approval rights over actions to be taken by the Corporation. If Constellation exercises
all of the 2017 Warrants and 2018 Warrants, and assuming no other securities of the Corporation are issued, Constellation would hold in excess of a majority of the voting rights of the outstanding Common Shares and would have voting control over the
Corporation, including the right to elect the Board. 

  

	 	•	 	 The Corporation did not conduct a market canvas or run an auction for a broader strategic transaction. If the
Corporation had run such a process, alternative value-generating transactions might have come to light that would provide greater benefit to the Corporation or that would provide direct value to Shareholders. Similarly, although the Corporation is
expected to benefit from the exclusivity with Constellation for its cannabis activities, the Transaction effectively makes Constellation the Corporation’s exclusive partner for marketing, development and growth. 

 

	 	•	 	 Constellation is not contractually committed to maintaining its equity stake in the Corporation at current levels or at
all. If Constellation sells some or all of its Common Shares, including the 

  
 22 

	 	 
Common Shares to be issued in connection with the Investment, the Corporation may not realize the benefits of Constellation’s partnership. 

The Board’s reasons for approving the Transaction and recommending that Shareholders vote FOR the Transaction Approval Resolution include certain
assumptions relating to forward-looking information, and such information and assumptions are subject to various risks. See “Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “– Risk Factors”. 

Fairness Opinion 
 The
Corporation initially contacted the Financial Advisor concerning the proposed investment on July 28, 2018. By letter agreement dated August 14, 2018 (the “Engagement Agreement”), the Corporation formally retained the
Financial Advisor to act as exclusive financial advisor to the Corporation and the Board in connection with the Investment and any alternative transaction proposal that may be presented for consideration by the Board prior to completion of the
Transaction or termination of the Subscription Agreement. 
 Pursuant to the Engagement Agreement, the Corporation engaged the Financial Advisor to
provide its opinion to the Board as to whether, as of August 14, 2018, the consideration to be received by the Corporation pursuant to the Investment is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Corporation. The Financial Advisor was not
requested to opine as to, and the Fairness Opinion does not in any manner address, the underlying business decision to proceed with or effect the Investment, or the relative merits of the Investment as compared to other potential strategies or
transactions that may be available to the Corporation. 
 The Financial Advisor will be paid a fee for rendering the Fairness Opinion, which is not
contingent upon completion of the Investment or any other transaction. The Corporation has also agreed to pay the Financial Advisor a fee upon completion of the Investment or any alternative to the Investment, to reimburse the Financial Advisor for
its reasonable expenses and to indemnify the Financial Advisor and its representatives in respect of certain liabilities that might arise out of its engagement as financial advisor. 

At the Board meeting held on the evening of August 14, 2018, the Financial Advisor provided its oral opinion to the Board that, based upon and
subject to certain assumptions, qualifications and limitations (which are set out in the Fairness Opinion), as of August 14, 2018, the consideration to be received by the Corporation pursuant to the Transaction was fair, from a financial point
of view, to the Corporation. The full text of the Fairness Opinion, including a description of the related assumptions, qualifications and limitations, together with a summary of the valuation methodologies used by the Financial Advisor in preparing
the Fairness Opinion, is attached as Schedule B to this Circular. 
 Transaction Approval Resolution 

In order for the Transaction to proceed, under the rules of the TSX Company Manual and under Canadian securities laws the Transaction must be approved
by a majority of the votes cast by the Minority Shareholders at the Meeting. See “– MI 61-101 Related Party Transaction Requirements”. 

At the Meeting, Minority Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if thought advisable, approve an ordinary resolution approving the Transaction
(referred to herein as the Transaction Approval Resolution), the full text of which is set forth in Schedule A. An ordinary resolution means a resolution passed by a majority of the votes cast by the Shareholders who voted in respect of that
resolution, either in person or by proxy at the Meeting. 
 Pursuant to the TSX Company Manual and applicable securities laws, in calculating the
requisite approval of the Transaction Approval Resolution, only the votes cast by the Minority Shareholders will be included. 

  
 23 

 The enclosed form of proxy or voting instruction form permits Shareholders to vote FOR or AGAINST the
Transaction Approval Resolution. If you do not specify how you want your Common Shares voted, the persons named as proxyholders in the enclosed form of proxy or voting instruction form intend to cast the votes represented by proxy at the Meeting
FOR the ordinary resolution approving the Transaction. 
 Each director and executive officer of the Corporation has agreed to vote all of such
individual’s Common Shares FOR the Transaction Approval Resolution. 
 Transaction Documents 

Subscription Agreement 
 As
stated above, On August 14, 2018, the Corporation and CBG entered into the Subscription Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, CBG agreed to purchase on closing of the Investment an aggregate of 104,500,000 Common Shares at a price
per share of $48.60 for an aggregate subscription price of approximately $5.079 billion. Upon issuance, the Common Shares to be acquired pursuant to the Subscription Agreement would result in Constellation holding approximately 38% of the
issued and outstanding Common Shares (assuming the full exercise of the 2017 Warrants). In addition, CBG will acquire an aggregate of 139,745,453 2018 Warrants. The 88,472,861 Tranche A Warrants will have an exercise price of $50.40 and will be
immediately exercisable at any time, and from time to time, for a period of three years following the Closing Date. The 51,272,592 Tranche B Warrants will have an exercise price based on the five-day volume
weighted average trading price of the Common Shares on the TSX at the time of exercise and will have a term of three years. The Tranche B Warrants will become immediately exercisable if and when all of the Tranche A Warrants have been exercised.
Together, the 104,500,000 Common Shares issuable in connection with the Investment and the 139,745,453 Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Tranche A Warrants and the Tranche B Warrants in accordance with the terms thereof, would
represent approximately 55% of the then outstanding Common Shares. The foregoing percentages are calculated on a fully diluted basis including: (A) giving effect to the Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of the 2017 Warrants,
(B) options to purchase 18,824,025 Common Shares and 29,930 restricted stock units granted by the Corporation pursuant to its omnibus incentive plan, (C) assuming the successful completion of the proposed acquisition of Hiku Brands Company
Ltd. by the Corporation by statutory plan of arrangement in accordance with the terms and conditions of the arrangement agreement dated July 10, 2018, (D) the assumed cash settlement of all issued and outstanding Convertible Notes, and
(E) the assumption that no further Common Shares or securities convertible into Common Shares in the capital of the Corporation are issued between August 14, 2018 and the Closing Date. 

The Subscription Agreement contains customary representations and warranties from both the Corporation and CBG and each have agreed to customary
covenants, including, among others, covenants on the part of the Corporation relating to: (i) the conduct of the Corporation’s business during the interim period between the execution of the Subscription Agreement and the completion of the
Transaction; (ii) the Corporation’s obligation to give notice of an amended notice of meeting in respect of the Meeting; and (iii) subject to certain exceptions, the recommendation by the Board that Shareholders approve the
Transaction and CBG Nominees. Prior to the Closing Date, unless the Subscription Agreement has been terminated, the Corporation has agreed not to either implement the Shareholder-approved share split or to issue or agree to issue any Common Shares
or securities convertible or exercisable into or exchangeable for Common Shares, other than (i) pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, (ii) pursuant to the Corporation’s equity stock purchase plan or omnibus incentive plan,
(iii) as agreed between CBG and the Corporation. 
 Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, Canopy has agreed that the business of the Meeting
will include the reconstitution of the Board and the election of the CBG Nominees. As part of approving the Transaction, the Shareholders will also be approving the removal of Murray Goldman and Chris Schnarr as directors effective as of the closing
of the Transaction and the election of William Newlands, David Klein and Judy Schmeling as directors of the Corporation as nominees of CBG. As a result, if the Transaction is approved 

  
 24 

 
at the Meeting, the Board will consist of: Bruce Linton, John Bell, Peter Stringham, William Newlands, David Klein and Judy Schmeling. Following completion of the Transaction, once CBG and Canopy
identify and select a seventh CBG Nominee pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, the Board will exercise its authority under the Canada Business Corporations Act to increase the size of the Board to seven members to satisfy the
Corporation’s obligations under the A&R IRA and will appoint such CBG Nominee to fill the vacancy to hold office until the next annual meeting of Shareholders or until his or her successor is duly elected or appointed pursuant to the by-laws of the Corporation and in accordance with the A&R IRA. 
 Covenants of the
Corporation regarding Non-Solicitation 
 Except as expressly provided in Section 5.8 of the
Subscription Agreement, the Corporation and its subsidiaries agreed not to, directly or indirectly, through any representative: 
  

	(i)	 solicit, initiate, knowingly encourage or otherwise knowingly facilitate (including by way of furnishing or providing
copies of, access to, or disclosure of, any confidential information, properties, facilities, books or records of the Corporation or any subsidiary) any inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes or may reasonably be expected to constitute or lead
to an Acquisition Proposal (as defined below); 

  

	(ii)	 enter into, engage in, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations with any person (other
than CBG and its subsidiaries or affiliates) in respect of any inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes or may reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, provided that the Corporation may (A) advise any person of the
restrictions of the Subscription Agreement, and (B) advise any person making an Acquisition Proposal that the Board has determined that such Acquisition Proposal does not constitute, or is not reasonably expected to constitute or lead to, a
Superior Proposal (as defined below); 

  

	(iii)	 make the Corporation Change in Recommendation (as defined below); 

 

	(iv)	 accept, approve, endorse or recommend, or publicly propose to accept, approve, endorse or recommend, or take no
position or remain neutral with respect to, any publicly announced Acquisition Proposal; or 

  

	(v)	 accept or enter into, or publicly propose to accept or enter into, any letter of intent, agreement in principle,
agreement, arrangement or undertaking relating to any Acquisition Proposal (other than a confidentiality agreement permitted pursuant to Section 5.8(e) of the Subscription Agreement). 

Notice of Acquisition Proposals 

If the Corporation, or any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective representatives receives: 

 

	(i)	 any inquiry, proposal or offer made after the date of the Subscription Agreement that constitutes or may reasonably be
expected to constitute or lead to an Acquisition Proposal; or 

  

	(ii)	 any request for copies of, access to, or disclosure of, confidential information relating to the Corporation or any
subsidiary in connection with any proposal that constitutes or may reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, including information, access or disclosure relating to the properties, facilities, books or records of the Corporation or
any subsidiary, in each case made after the date of the Subscription Agreement; 

 then, the Corporation shall promptly and orally
notify CBG, and then in writing within 24 hours, of such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, proposal, offer or request, including the identity of the person making such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, proposal, offer or request and the material terms and
conditions thereof and copies of all written documents, correspondence or other material received in respect of, from or on behalf 

  
 25 

 
of any such person. The Corporation shall keep CBG fully informed on a current basis of the status of material developments and (to the extent permitted by Section 5.8(e) of the Subscription
Agreement) material discussions and negotiations with respect to such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, proposal, offer or request, including any material changes, modifications or other amendments thereto. 

Responding to Acquisition Proposals 

Notwithstanding any other provision of Section 5.8 of the Subscription Agreement, if at any time following the date of the Subscription Agreement
and prior to the Shareholder approval having been obtained, the Corporation receives a request for material non-public information, or to enter into discussions, from a person that proposes to the Corporation
an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal, the Corporation may engage in or participate in discussions or negotiations with such person regarding such Acquisition Proposal, and may provide copies of, access to or disclosure of
information, properties, facilities, books or records of the Corporation or its subsidiaries, if any only if: 
  

	(i)	 the Board determines, in good faith after consultation with its outside financial and legal advisors, that such
Acquisition Proposal constitutes or could reasonably be expected to constitute or lead to a Superior Proposal; 

  

	(ii)	 such person is not restricted from making an Acquisition Proposal pursuant to an existing standstill, confidentiality,
non-disclosure, business purpose, use or similar restriction with the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries; 

  

	(iii)	 the Corporation has been, and continues to be, in compliance with its obligations under Section 5.8 of the
Subscription Agreement in all material respects; and 

  

	(iv)	 prior to providing any such copies, access or disclosures, the Corporation enters into a confidentiality and
standstill agreement with such person, and any such copies, access or disclosure provided to such person shall have already been (or simultaneously be) provided to CBG. 

Right to Match 
 If the
Corporation receives an Acquisition Proposal that constitutes a Superior Proposal prior to the Shareholder approval having been obtained, the Board may, (1) make the Corporation Change in Recommendation in response to such Superior Proposal
and/or (2) cause the Corporation to terminate the Subscription Agreement (including payment of the applicable amounts required to be paid pursuant to Section 6.2 of the Subscription Agreement) and concurrently enter into a definitive
agreement with respect to the Superior Proposal, if and only if: 
  

	(i)	 the person making such Superior Proposal is not restricted from making an Acquisition Proposal pursuant to an existing
standstill, confidentiality, non-disclosure, business purpose, use or similar restriction; 

  

	(ii)	 the Corporation has been, and continues to be, in compliance with its obligations under the Subscription Agreement;

  

	(iii)	 the Corporation or its representatives have delivered to CBG the information required by Section 5.8(d), as well
as a written notice of the determination of the Board that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and of the intention of the Board to make the Corporation Change in Recommendation and/or terminate the Subscription Agreement to
concurrently enter into the proposed agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, as applicable, together with a written notice from the Board regarding the value that the Board, in consultation with its financial advisors,

  
 26 

	 	 
has determined should be ascribed to any non-cash consideration offered under the Acquisition Proposal; 

 

	(iv)	 the Corporation or its representatives have provided CBG a copy of the proposed agreement with respect to the Superior
Proposal and all supporting materials, including any financing documents with customary redactions supplied to the Corporation in connection therewith; 

  

	(v)	 five business days (the “Response Period”) shall have elapsed from the date on which CBG has received
the notice of the Superior Proposal and all other required documentation; 

  

	(vi)	 during any Response Period, CBG has had the opportunity (but not the obligation) to offer to amend the Subscription
Agreement and the terms of the Investment in order for such Acquisition Proposal to cease to be a Superior Proposal; 

  

	(vii)	 after the Response Period, the Board (A) has determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal
counsel and financial advisors, that such Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal compared to the terms of the Investment as proposed to be amended by CBG and (B) has determined in good faith, after consultation with
its outside legal counsel, that the failure by the Board to make the Corporation Change in Recommendation and/or to cause the Corporation to terminate the Subscription Agreement to enter into the proposed agreement, as applicable, would be
inconsistent with its fiduciary duties; and 

  

	(viii)	 in the case of the Board exercising its rights under clause (2), prior to or concurrently with terminating the
Subscription Agreement, the Corporation enters into such proposed agreement with respect to the Superior Proposal and concurrently pays to CBG the termination payment payable under the Subscription Agreement. 

During the Response Period, or such longer period as the Corporation may approve in writing for such purpose: (i) the Board shall review any offer
made by CBG to amend the terms of the Subscription Agreement in good faith in order to determine whether such proposal would, upon acceptance, result in the Acquisition Proposal previously constituting a Superior Proposal ceasing to be a Superior
Proposal; and (ii) the Corporation shall negotiate in good faith with CBG to make such amendments to the terms of the Subscription Agreement and the Investment as would enable CBG to proceed with the transactions contemplated by the
Subscription Agreement on such amended terms. If the Board determines that such Acquisition Proposal would cease to be a Superior Proposal, the Corporation shall promptly so advise CBG, and the Corporation and CBG shall amend the Subscription
Agreement to reflect such offer made by CBG, and shall take and cause to be taken all such actions as are necessary to give effect to the foregoing. 

Each successive amendment or modification to any Acquisition Proposal or Proposed Agreement that results in an increase in, or modification of, the
consideration (or value of such consideration) to be received by the Shareholders or other material terms or conditions thereof shall constitute a new Acquisition Proposal for the purposes of the Subscription Agreement, and CBG shall be afforded a
new five business day Response Period from the date on which CBG has received the notice and all documentation required to be provided with respect to the new Superior Proposal from the Corporation. 

The Board shall promptly reaffirm the Board Recommendation by press release after any Acquisition Proposal which is not determined to be a Superior
Proposal is publicly announced or the Board determines that a proposed amendment to the terms of the Subscription Agreement would result in an Acquisition Proposal no longer being a Superior Proposal. The Corporation shall provide CBG and its
outside legal counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review the form and content of any such press release and shall make all reasonable amendments to such press release as requested by CBG and its counsel. 

In circumstances where the Corporation provides CBG with a notice of a Superior Proposal and all required documentation on a date that is less than
seven business days prior to the scheduled date of the Meeting, 

  
 27 

 
the Corporation may either proceed with or postpone the Meeting to a date that is not more than ten business days after the scheduled date of such Meeting, and shall postpone the Meeting to a
date that is not more than ten business days after the scheduled date of such Meeting if so directed by CBG. 
 For purposes of the Subscription Agreement: 

“Acquisition Proposal” means, other than the transactions with CBG contemplated by the Subscription Agreement and other than any
transaction involving only the Corporation and/or one or more of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, any written or oral offer, proposal, or inquiry from any person or group of persons (other than CBG or any of its affiliates, or any person acting
jointly or in concert with CBG or any affiliate of CBG), in each case made or publicly announced on or after the date hereof and whether binding or not and whether in a single transaction or in a series of related transactions, relating to: 

 

	(a)	 any acquisition, purchase or sale (or any lease, long-term supply agreement, exclusive licensing agreement or other
arrangement having the same economic effect as an acquisition, purchase or sale), direct or indirect, of: 

  

	 	(i)	 the assets of the Corporation and/or one or more of its subsidiaries that, individually or in the aggregate,
constitute 20% or more of the consolidated assets or contribute 20% or more of the consolidated revenue, or represent more than 20% of the equity market capitalization value (including securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for
securities or equity interests) of, the Corporation and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole; or 

  

	 	(ii)	 20% or more of any voting or equity securities of the Corporation or 20% or more of any voting or equity securities of
any one or more of any of the Corporation’s subsidiaries whose assets, individually or in the aggregate, constitute 20% or more of the consolidated assets or contribute 20% or more of the consolidated revenue or represent more than 20% of the
equity market capitalization value (including securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for securities or equity interests) of, the Corporation and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole; 

 

	(b)	 any direct or indirect take-over bid, tender offer, exchange offer, treasury issuance or similar transaction that, if
consummated, would result in a person or group of persons beneficially owning 20% or more of any class of voting or equity securities of the Corporation or one or more of its subsidiaries; or 

 

	(c)	 any plan of arrangement, merger, amalgamation, consolidation, share exchange, share reclassification, business
combination, reorganization, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution, winding up or other similar transaction or series of transactions involving the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries whose assets or revenues, individually or in the
aggregate, constitute 20% or more of the consolidated assets or contribute 20% or more of the consolidated revenue, or represent more than 20% of the equity market capitalization value (including securities convertible into or exercisable or
exchangeable for securities or equity interests) of, the Corporation and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole. 

 “Corporation
Change in Recommendation” means where the Board or any committee thereof: 
  

	(A)	 fails to unanimously recommend or withdraws, amends, modifies or qualifies, in a manner adverse to CBG or states an
intention to withdraw, amend, modify or qualify the Board Recommendation; 

  

	(B)	 accepts, approves, endorses or recommends, or publicly proposes to accept, approve, endorse or recommendation an
Acquisition Proposal or takes no position or a neutral position with respect to 

  
 28 

	 	 
an Acquisition Proposal for more than five business days (or beyond the third business day prior to the date of the Meeting, if sooner); 

 

	(C)	 accepts or enters into (other than a confidentiality agreement permitted by and in accordance with
Section 5.4(e)) or publicly proposes to accept or enter into any agreement, understanding or arrangement in respect of an Acquisition Proposal; or 

  

	(D)	 fails to publicly reaffirm (without qualification) the Board Recommendation within five business days after having
been requested in writing by CBG to do so (or in the event the Meeting is scheduled to occur within such five business-day period, prior to the third business day prior to the Meeting). 

“Superior Proposal” means an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal to acquire at least 100% of the outstanding Common
Shares or all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis made by an arm’s length third party after the date of the Subscription Agreement: 

 

	(a)	 that did not result from or involve a breach of the Subscription Agreement or any agreement between the person making
such Acquisition Proposal and the Corporation; 

  

	(b)	 that is, as of the date that the Corporation provides a notice of a Superior Proposal to CBG, not subject to any
financing condition and in respect of which any required financing to complete such Acquisition Proposal has been demonstrated to be available to the satisfaction of the Board, acting in good faith (after receipt of advice from its financial
advisors and its outside legal counsel); 

  

	(c)	 that is, as of the date that the Corporation provides a notice of a Superior Proposal to CBG, not subject to a due
diligence and/or access condition; 

  

	(d)	 that is reasonably capable of being consummated without undue delay, taking into account all legal, financial,
regulatory and other aspects of such Acquisition Proposal and the person or group of persons making such Acquisition Proposal; and 

  

	(e)	 in respect of which the Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside financial and legal
advisors, and after taking into account all the terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal, including all legal, financial, regulatory and other aspects of such Acquisition Proposal and the party making such Acquisition Proposal, would, if
consummated in accordance with its terms (but without assuming away the risk of non-completion), result in a transaction that is more favourable, from a financial point of view, to the Shareholders, than the
Investment (including any amendments to the terms and conditions of the Investment proposed by CBG). 

 CBG has agreed that until
the earlier of: (i) the termination of the Subscription Agreement; (ii) the Closing Date (as defined in the Subscription Agreement); and (iii) April 1, 2019, it will not, and will cause its affiliates (as defined in the
Subscription Agreement) not to, directly or indirectly, whether individually or by acting jointly or in concert with any other person (including by providing financing or other support or assistance to any other person), without the express written
consent of the Board or except in accordance with the terms of the Subscription Agreement or the A&R IRA acquire additional securities of the Corporation or engage in various transactions set forth in the Subscription Agreement, including
mergers, take-over bids, proxy solicitations or otherwise attempt to control or to influence the management or board of directors of the Corporation. 

The closing of the Transaction is subject to approval by not less than a majority of the votes cast by the Shareholders at the Meeting (excluding the
Common Shares beneficially held by Constellation, or over which it exercises control or direction, including the Common Shares held by Greenstar). The Transaction is also subject to obtaining regulatory approvals under the Competition Act
(Canada) and Investment Canada Act, and other customary closing conditions, including approval by the TSX and New York Stock 

  
 29 

 
Exchange and receipt of any required third-party consents. The Subscription Agreement contains certain customary termination rights for CBG and the Corporation, as the case may be, applicable
upon certain events, including: (i) the failure to complete the Transaction by April 1, 2019, or such later date agreed on by the parties; (ii) by CBG if the Board withdraws, qualifies or modifies of its recommendation that
Shareholders approve the Transaction and CBG Nominees or adopts, approves, recommends, endorses or otherwise declares advisable the adoption of any alternative Acquisition Proposal; or (iii) by the Corporation if prior to obtaining the
Shareholder approval, its Board authorizes the Corporation to enter into a proposed agreement for an alternative Acquisition Proposal provided that the Corporation is then in compliance with its covenant not to solicit alternative Acquisition
Proposal and that prior to or concurrent with such termination the Corporation pays a termination fee. 
 The Subscription Agreement provides that the
Corporation must pay CBG a termination fee of varying amounts if the Subscription Agreement is terminated pursuant to a Termination Fee Event (as defined in the Subscription Agreement). Specifically: 

If the Subscription Agreement is terminated by CBG because either: 

 

	 	(a)	 the Board withdraws, modifies or qualifies in any manner its recommendation that Shareholders approve the Transaction
and CBG Nominees; or 

  

	 	(b)	 if the Corporation breaches its covenant not to solicit any alternative Acquisition Proposals, 

the Corporation will pay CBG a termination fee of $175,000,000. 

If the Subscription Agreement is terminated either: 
  

	 	(a)	 by the Corporation in order to accept and enter into a transaction that the Board has determined constitutes a
“Superior Proposal”; or 

  

	 	(b)	 by CBG or the Corporation if the Closing Date does not occur by the outside date of April 1, 2019 or because
Shareholders fail to approve the Transaction Approval Resolution at the Meeting, but only if in either of these termination events, (A) prior to such termination, an Acquisition Proposal for the Corporation shall have been made to the
Corporation or publicly announced by any person other than CBG (or any of its affiliates or any person acting jointly or in concert with any of the foregoing) and not withdrawn and (B) within 12 months following the date of such termination
event, (1) the Corporation enters into a definitive agreement in respect of an Acquisition Proposal (whether or not such Acquisition Proposal is the same Acquisition proposal referred to in clause (A) above) and such Acquisition Proposal
is later consummated (whether or not within such 12 month period) or (2) an Acquisition Proposal shall have been consummated (whether or not such Acquisition Proposal is the same Acquisition Proposal referred to in clause (A) above),

 the Corporation will pay CBG a termination fee equal to 3.2% of the aggregate equity value ascribed to the
Corporation’s equity securities pursuant to the Superior Proposal. For purposes of measuring the equity value of non-cash consideration in the form of securities, if any, proposed under the Superior
Proposal, equity value shall be determined with reference to the “market price” of the securities offered as non-cash consideration at the time of announcement of the Superior Proposal, as determined
in accordance with section 1.11 of National Instrument 62-104 – Take-Over Bids and Issuer Bids. 

Subject to satisfaction of the closing conditions, the Transaction is expected to be consummated by the end of October 2018. 

  
 30 

 Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement 

The Subscription Agreement contemplates that Greenstar, CBG and the Corporation will enter into the A&R IRA on the Closing Date, which will amend
the Investor Rights Agreement dated November 2, 2017, between Greenstar and the Corporation, pursuant to which, the Board will be increased from five directors to seven directors, of which CBG will have the right to designate four nominees for
election or appointment to the Board so long as the CBG Group (as defined in the A&R IRA) continues to hold at least the Target Shares (as defined below). In the event that the CBG Group no longer holds the Target Shares, CBG will be entitled to
designate a number of CBG Nominees that represents its proportionate share of the number of directors comprising the Board (rounded up to the next whole number) based on its percentage ownership of outstanding Common Shares. “Target
Shares” means that number of common shares that satisfies the following two conditions: (i) 117,208,056 Common Shares, subject to certain adjustments; and (ii) the number of Common Shares and warrants that represents 28.2% of the
outstanding Common Shares, including for the purposes of this calculation, all convertible securities owned or held by CBG, Greenstar and Constellation and its subsidiaries, including the 2017 Warrants and 2018 Warrants. 

The A&R IRA will provide that so long as the CBG Group continues to hold at least the Target Shares, the Board will not: (i) propose or resolve
to change the size of the Board, except where otherwise required by law, or with the consent of CBG; or (ii) present a slate of Corporation nominees to the Shareholders for election to the Board that is greater than or fewer than seven
directors. In addition, the A&R IRA will provide that, subject to certain conditions, so long as the CBG Group continues to hold at least the Target Shares, the CBG Group will adhere to certain
non-competition restrictions including that: (y) the Corporation will be its exclusive strategic vehicle for cannabis products of any kind anywhere in the world; and (z) the Corporation will be
presented exclusively all Cannabis Opportunities (as defined in the A&R IRA). Further, the CBG Group will agree, for a limited period of time and subject to certain exceptions, to certain post-termination,
non-competition restrictions, which include not pursuing any other Cannabis Opportunities and not directly or indirectly participating in a competing business of the Corporation anywhere in the world. 

a)         Approval Rights 

For so long as the CBG Group holds at least the Target Shares, the A&R IRA provides CBG with approval rights over certain transactions that may be
taken by the Corporation. The Corporation has agreed that it will not, without the prior written consent of CBG: 
  

	(i)	 consolidate or merge into or with another person or enter into any other similar business combination, including
pursuant to any amalgamation, arrangement, recapitalization or reorganization, other than a consolidation, merger or other similar business combination of any wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation into or with the Corporation or into or with
another wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation or an amalgamation or arrangement involving a subsidiary of the Corporation with a another person in connection with an acquisition permitted or approved pursuant to (ii) below;

  

	(ii)	 acquire any shares or similar equity interests, instruments convertible into or exchangeable for shares or similar
equity interests, assets, business or operations with an aggregate value of more than $250 million, in a single transaction or a series of related transactions; 

 

	(iii)	 adopt any plan or proposal for a complete or partial liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or any
of its subsidiaries (other than a liquidation, dissolution or wind-up of any such entity in connection with which all of such entity’s assets are transferred to the Corporation and/or one or more of its
subsidiaries) or any reorganization or recapitalization of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries or commence any case, proceeding or action seeking relief under any existing or future laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, conservatorship or
relief of debtors; 

  
 31 

	(iv)	 sell, transfer, lease, pledge or otherwise dispose of any of its or any of its subsidiaries’ assets, business or
operations (in a single transaction or a series of related transactions, and excluding any sale, transfer, lease, pledge or disposition of assets, business or operations to the Corporation and/or one or more of its subsidiaries) in the aggregate
with a value of more than $20 million; or 

  

	(v)	 make any changes to the Corporation’s policy with respect to the declaration and payment of any dividends on the
Common Shares, except if and to the extent that a reduction in the dividend is required by applicable law. 

 If at any time the CBG
Group holds less than the Target Shares but holds at least 20% of the Corporation’s outstanding Common Shares (calculated in accordance with the A&R IRA), the Corporation has agreed to consult with CBG with respect to the above matters.

 b)         Pre-Emptive Rights 

For so long as the A&R IRA is in effect, CBG and/or Greenstar will have the right to purchase the number of Common Shares and or securities
convertible into Common Shares in order to maintain its pro rata interest in the Corporation. The A&R IRA specifies an agreed mechanism for the Corporation to notify CBG and Greenstar of potential issuances of securities by the Corporation. Any
securities acquired will be acquired by CBG and/or Greenstar on the same basis as the underlying offering. 
 The
pre-emptive rights do not apply in respect of Common Shares or securities convertible into Common Shares issued by the Corporation in certain situations (collectively, the “Pre-Emptive Right Carve-Out”), including: 
  

	(i)	 on the exercise, conversion or exchange of convertible securities issued prior to the date of the A&R IRA or on
the exercise, conversion or exchange of convertible securities issued after the date of the A&R IRA in compliance with the terms of the A&R IRA, in each case, excluding any convertible securities owned by CBG and/or Greenstar;

  

	(ii)	 pursuant to any equity compensation plan; 

 

	(iii)	 on the exercise of any right; 

 

	(iv)	 in connection with bona fide bank debt, equipment financing or non-equity
interim financing transactions with lenders to the Corporation, in each case, with an equity component; 

  

	(v)	 in connection with bona fide acquisitions (including acquisitions of assets or rights under a license or otherwise),
mergers or similar business combination transactions or joint ventures undertaken and completed by the Corporation; or 

  

	(vi)	 in connection with bona fide acquisitions (including acquisitions of assets or rights under a license or otherwise),
mergers or similar business combination transactions or joint ventures or any other issuances of shares undertaken and completed as agreed by the Corporation and CBG (which were taken into account in calculating the aggregate number of securities to
be issued to CBG pursuant to the Investment). 

 c)
        Top-Up Rights 
 For so long as the CBG Group holds at least
the Target Shares, the A&R IRA provides CBG and/or Greenstar the right to subscribe for additional Common Shares in respect of Common Shares or securities convertible into Common Shares issued by the Corporation to which the Pre-Emptive Right Carve-Out applied. The top-up right may be exercised on a quarterly basis. 

  
 32 

 d)         Termination 

The A&R IRA will terminate upon the earlier of: (i) the mutual consent of the parties; (ii) the date on which the CBG Group owns less than
33,000,000 Common Shares; (iii) the date of a non-appealable court order terminating the A&R IRA under certain circumstances as set forth in the A&R IRA; and (iv) after notice by the
Corporation any time the CBG Group no longer holds at least the Target Shares, the non-compete provisions no longer apply to CBG and the CBG Group has engaged in certain competitive activities for a period of
30 consecutive days following notice. 
 Administrative Services Agreement 

In connection with the Investment, the Corporation and Constellation (or its affiliate or permitted assignee) will enter into an Administrative Services
Agreement on the Closing Date (the “Services Agreement”) pursuant to which the Corporation may receive services by Constellation and its affiliates, as agreed by the parties. 

Voting Support Agreements 
 Each of the
directors and officers of the Corporation has entered into a voting support agreement with CBG. Pursuant to the terms of the support agreements, these Shareholders have agreed to vote an aggregate of approximately 4% of the outstanding Common Shares
in favour of the Transaction Approval Resolution.

CBG Nominees 
 Although this
Circular contemplates the election of directors to serve and hold office in connection with the Corporation’s annual director elections, the Corporation anticipates that upon closing of the Transaction, as a result of the Transaction Approval
Resolution, the composition of the Board will be reconstituted. Specifically, the Transaction Approval Resolution contemplates that Murray Goldman and Chris Schnarr will be removed as directors effective as of the closing of the Transaction and
William Newlands, David Klein and Judy Schmeling will be elected as directors of the Corporation as nominees of CBG. In the event of the closing of the Transaction, as a result of the Transaction Approval Resolution, the Board will be reconstituted
to consist of Bruce Linton, John Bell, Peter Stringham, William Newlands, David Klein and 

  
 33 

 
Judy Schmeling, each of whom will hold office until the next annual meeting of Shareholders or until his or her successor is duly elected or appointed pursuant to the by-laws of the Corporation and in accordance with the A&R IRA. 
 Pursuant to the A&R IRA, Canopy and CBG
have agreed that the Board will comprise seven directors, four of whom will be nominees of CBG. At the Meeting, the Transaction Approval Resolution contemplates that only six directors will be elected, of which, three will be nominees of CBG.
Following completion of the Transaction, once CBG identifies and selects a seventh CBG Nominee the Board will exercise its authority under the Canada Business Corporations Act to increase the size of the Board to seven members to satisfy the
Corporation’s obligations under the A&R IRA and will appoint such CBG Nominee to fill the vacancy to hold office until the next annual meeting of Shareholders or until his or her successor is duly elected or appointed pursuant to the by-laws of the Corporation and in accordance with the A&R IRA. 
 The three nominees of CBG to be elected pursuant to the
Transaction Approval Resolution are:

 Toronto Stock Exchange 

The TSX Company Manual (the “Manual”) requires that the Transaction be approved by the holders of a majority of the currently issued and
outstanding Common Shares of the Corporation, excluding the votes attached to the Common Shares held by Constellation and its associates and affiliates, by operation of: (i) Sections 607(g)(i) and 607(f)(iv) of the Manual because the
Transaction will provide for the issuance of greater than 25% of the currently outstanding Common Shares and the Transaction involves the issuance of warrants; (ii) Section 607(g)(ii) of the Manual because the Transaction will provide for
the issuance to an insider of the Corporation of greater than 10% of the number of Common Shares of the Corporation which are currently outstanding; and (iii) Section 604(a)(i) of the Manual because Constellation will own greater than 20%
of the Corporation’s issued and outstanding Common Shares resulting in a material effect on control of the Corporation. 
 Pursuant to the
Transaction, CBG will acquire an aggregate of 104,500,000 Common Shares and 139,745,453 2018 Warrants, representing 110% of the Common Shares which are currently outstanding in aggregate. The Common Shares to be issued represent approximately 47% of
the currently issued and outstanding Common Shares and the 2018 Warrants represent approximately 63% of the currently issued and outstanding Common Shares. As a result of the Investment, Constellation and its affiliates will hold approximately 38%
of the issued and outstanding Common Shares (assuming the full exercise of the 2017 Warrants), and, upon exercise of the 2018 Warrants, Constellation and its affiliates would hold approximately 58.5% of the then issued and outstanding Common Shares
or approximately 55% of the then issued and outstanding Common Shares on a fully-diluted basis. The foregoing percentages are calculated on a fully diluted basis including: (A) giving effect to the Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of
the 2017 Warrants, (B) options to purchase 18,824,025 Common Shares and 29,930 restricted stock units granted by the Corporation pursuant to its omnibus incentive plan, (C) assuming the successful completion of the proposed acquisition of
Hiku Brands Company Ltd. by the Corporation by statutory plan of arrangement in accordance with the terms and conditions of the arrangement agreement dated July 10, 2018, (D) the assumed cash settlement of all issued and outstanding Convertible
Notes, and (E) the assumption that no further Common Shares or securities convertible into Common Shares in the capital of the Corporation are issued between August 14, 2018 and the Closing Date. 

MI 61-101 Related Party Transaction Requirements 

The Transaction is subject to the requirements of MI 61-101. MI 61-101
was adopted by the Ontario Securities Commission and certain other securities regulatory authorities to govern transactions that raise the potential for conflicts of interest. MI 61-101 is intended to regulate
insider bids, issuer bids, business combinations and related party transactions to ensure equality of treatment among securityholders, generally by requiring enhanced disclosure, minority securityholder approval, and, in certain instances,
independent valuations and approval and oversight of certain transactions by a special committee of independent directors. 
 Under MI 61-101, a “related party” includes a control person of the entity, directors, executive officers and shareholders holding over 10% of the voting rights attached to the voting securities of the issuer.
Since CBG and its affiliates hold securities that represent at least 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, CBG is a “related party” for purposes of MI 61-101. An issuance of securities to
a related party constitutes a related party transaction under MI 61-101 that generally requires (absent an available exemption) that an issuer obtain a formal valuation and minority shareholder approval for
the transaction and that the issuer provide enhanced disclosure with respect to the transaction. 
 The Shareholder approval contemplated by this
Circular is intended to satisfy the shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101. MI 61-101 provides that, in addition to any other required securityholder approval, a
related party transaction is subject to “minority approval” (as defined in MI 61-101, being a simple majority of the votes (50% + 1) cast by “minority” shareholders of each class of
affected securities (as defined in MI 61-101)), unless an exemption is available or discretionary relief is granted by applicable securities regulatory 

  
 36 

 
authorities. In relation to approval of the Transaction, “minority approval” requires the approval of a simple majority (50% + 1) of the holders of Common Shares, other than Common
Shares beneficially owned, or over which control or direction is exercised by: (a) the issuer; (b) an “interested party” (as defined in MI 61-101); (c) a “related party” to such
interested party within the meaning of MI 61-101 (subject to certain exceptions); and (d) any person that is a joint actor with any party referred to in (b) or (c) (collectively, the
“Excluded Shareholders”). 
 Since Greenstar and each of the directors and senior officers of Constellation is a “related
party” of an interested party (CBG), pursuant to MI 61-101, the Common Shares held by each of them and their respective affiliates and joint actors will be excluded for purposes of calculating the
requisite approval of the Transaction Approval Resolution in accordance with the minority approval requirements under MI 61-101 and the requirements of the TSX. To the knowledge of the Corporation, the
Excluded Shareholders hold an aggregate of 18,881,926 Common Shares (of which 2,025 Common Shares are held, directly or indirectly, by officers of Constellation1 and 18,879,901 Common Shares are
held by Greenstar). Such Common Shares will be excluded for purposes of calculating the requisite approvals of the Transaction Approval Resolution. 

MI 61-101 also provides that, unless exempted, an issuer proposing to carry out a related party transaction is
required to obtain a formal valuation in respect of the transaction. The Corporation is exempt from the requirement to obtain a formal valuation by operation of Section 5.5(c) of MI 61-101, which exempts
issuers from the formal valuation requirement in circumstances where securities are being issued to a related party of the issuer for cash consideration. Neither the Corporation nor, to the knowledge of the Corporation after reasonable inquiry, CBG,
has knowledge of any material information concerning the Corporation or its securities that has not been generally disclosed. 
 Further, neither the
Corporation nor any director or senior officer of the Corporation, after reasonable inquiry, is aware of any “prior valuation” (as defined in MI 61-101) having been prepared in respect of the
Corporation in the 24 months before the date of this Circular. 
 To the knowledge of the Corporation, only the Common Shares held by Greenstar and
its affiliates will be excluded from the “majority of the minority” vote mandated by MI 61-101 and the vote mandated by the TSX. 

Other Regulatory Matters 

Investment Canada Act Approval 
 Under the
Investment Canada Act, certain transactions involving the “acquisition of control” of a Canadian business by a non-Canadian are subject to review and cannot be implemented unless the responsible
Minister under the Investment Canada Act is satisfied or deemed to be satisfied that the transaction is likely to be of “net benefit” to Canada. Such a transaction is referred to as a “reviewable transaction”. Under the
Investment Canada Act there is an initial 45 day review period following the filing of a complete application for review (during which the reviewable transaction cannot be completed) which may be unilaterally extended by the responsible Minister for
an additional 30 days, after which the responsible Minister and the investor may agree to further extensions. 
 The Transaction constitutes a reviewable transaction
under the Investment Canada Act. Constellation is expected to file its application for review with the Investment Review Division of Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada on or about August 24, 2018. As of the date of this
Circular, the review of 
  
  

	1 	 Samuel H. Carsley personally owns 350 Common Shares; James A. Sabia Jr. owns 1,500 Common Shares jointly with his spouse
through the James A. Sabia, Jr. and Brooke M. Sabia Trust; and Thomas M. McCorry personally owns 175 Common Shares. Each of Messrs. Carsley, Sabia and McCorry is a senior officer of Constellation or its affiliates.

  
 37 

 
the Transaction under the Investment Canada Act is ongoing. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement it is a condition to closing of the Transaction that approval under the Investment Canada Act be
obtained. 
 Competition Act Approval 

Part IX of the Competition Act requires that parties to certain transactions that exceed the thresholds set out in sections 109 and 110 of the
Competition Act, which we refer to as “notifiable transactions,” provide the Commissioner of Competition (the “Commissioner”) with pre-closing notice of the transactions. The parties
to a notifiable transaction cannot complete the transaction until the applicable waiting period under section 123 of the Competition Act has expired or been terminated or waived. 

The waiting period is 30 calendar days after the day on which the parties to the transaction submit the prescribed information, provided that, before
the expiry of this period, the Commissioner has not notified the parties pursuant to subsection 114(2) of the Competition Act that the Commissioner requires additional information that is relevant to the Commissioner’s assessment of the
transaction (a “Supplementary Information Request”). If the Commissioner issues Supplementary Information Request, the parties cannot complete the transaction until 30 calendar days after compliance with the Supplementary
Information Request and cannot complete the transaction after that 30-day period if there is any order in effect prohibiting completion of the transaction at that time. 

In addition or as an alternative to filing the prescribed notice with the Commissioner, parties to a notifiable transaction may comply with Part IX by
applying to the Commissioner for and receiving: (i) an advance ruling certificate issued pursuant to section 102 of the Competition Act, which is referred to as an “advance ruling certificate;” or (ii) a no-action letter from the Commissioner advising that he does not at the time intend to make an application to the Competition Tribunal under section 92 of the Competition Act in respect of the transaction (referred
to as a “no-action letter,”) together with a waiver under section 113(c) of the Competition Act exempting the transaction from the pre-merger notification
obligation and, therefore, compliance with the waiting period. 
 The Transaction constitutes a notifiable transaction under the Competition Act. On
August 17, 2018, Constellation filed with the Commissioner a request for an advance ruling certificate or in the alternative a “no-action letter”. Each of Constellation and the Corporation
expect to file their respective pre-merger notification with the Commissioner on or about August 24, 2018. It is a condition to closing of the Transaction that clearance under the Competition Act be
obtained. 
 Risk Factors 

Dilution of Shareholders of the Corporation 

If the Transaction is completed, the Corporation will issue 104,500,000 Common Shares (representing 47% of the currently outstanding Common Shares or
32% of the outstanding Common Shares upon completion of the Transaction without taking into account the 2017 Warrants and 2018 Warrants) and 139,745,453 warrants to purchase Common Shares (representing 63% of the currently outstanding Common Shares
or 30% of the outstanding Common Shares upon completion of the Transaction without taking into account the 2017 Warrants). As a result, the current holdings of the Shareholders will be significantly diluted following the completion of the
Transaction. 
 Constellation will have significant influence over the Corporation on completion of the Transaction 

On completion of the Transaction, Constellation, through Greenstar and CBG, will be the Corporation’s single largest Shareholder. In light of such
ownership, Constellation will be in a position to exercise significant influence over matters requiring Shareholder approval, including the election of directors and the determination of significant corporate actions. In addition, under the A&R
IRA, CBG will have the right to 

  
 38 

 
designate four nominees for election or appointment to the Board of seven so long as Constellation continues to hold the Target Number of Common Shares and will have approval rights over certain
actions by the Corporation. If Constellation exercises all of the 2017 Warrants and 2018 Warrants, and assuming no other securities of the Corporation are issued, Constellation would hold in excess of a majority of the voting rights of the
outstanding Common Shares and would have voting control over the Corporation, including the right to elect the Board. Accordingly, on completion of the Transaction, Constellation will have significant influence over the Corporation and there can be
no assurance that Constellation’s interests will align with the interests of the Corporation or other Shareholders. 
 There can be no
certainty that all conditions to the Transaction will be satisfied 
 The completion of the Transaction is subject to certain conditions which are
outside the control of the Corporation, including the receipt of approval from the TSX and New York Stock Exchange, approval of the Shareholders, receipt of regulatory approvals pursuant to the Investment Canada Act and Competition Act
(Canada), and receipt of any required third-party consents. There can be no certainty, nor can the Corporation provide any assurance, that these conditions will be satisfied or, if satisfied, when they will be satisfied. 

If the Transaction is not completed, the market price of the Common Shares may be impacted to the extent that the market price reflects a market
assumption that the Transaction will be completed. If the Transaction is not completed and the Board decides to seek another strategic transaction, there can be no assurance that it will be able to find an equivalent or more attractive alternative.

 While the Transaction is pending, the Corporation is restricted from taking certain actions 

The Subscription Agreement restricts the Corporation from taking specified actions including (x) not to solicit any alternative Acquisition
Proposals; (y) subject to certain exceptions, not to enter into any discussions with respect to, or enter into any agreement concerning, or provide confidential information in connection with, any alternative Acquisition Proposals; or
(z) subject to certain exceptions, that the Board not withdraw, modify or qualify in any manner its recommendation that Shareholders approve the Transaction and CBG Nominees. 

In addition, during the interim period between the execution of the Subscription Agreement and the completion of the Transaction, (a) the
Corporation has agreed to certain covenants, including restrictions on the issuance (or agreement to issue) any Common Shares or securities convertible into Common Shares other than specified permitted issuances, effecting, implementing, or setting
a record date to effect or implement, any share dividend, share split, share consolidation, recapitalization or other similar transaction with respect to the Common Shares and (b) Greenstar shall not exercise repurchase rights under the terms
of the Convertible Notes that may become exercisable as a result of the entering into of the Subscription Agreement and the consummation of the Investment. 

These restrictions may prevent the Corporation from pursuing attractive business opportunities that may arise prior to the completion of the
Transaction. 
 Use of proceeds from the Transaction 

Under the Subscription Agreement, the Corporation has agreed to use the net proceeds from the Investment for the exclusive purposes of funding plant
expansion, equipment, acquisitions, development activities, the repurchase of all or a portion of the outstanding Convertible Notes as required and in accordance with the terms and conditions of such notes, and other matters in anticipation of
market demand and for working capital. Beyond these purposes, the Corporation cannot specify the particular uses of the net proceeds it will receive from the Transaction, and the Board and management will have some discretion in the application of
the net proceeds. Accordingly, Shareholders will have to rely upon the judgment of the 

  
 39 

 
Board and management with respect to the use of the proceeds, with only limited information concerning the Board’s and management’s specific intentions. 

As a result of the Investment, the Corporation anticipates having cash on hand of approximately $5 billion. Although Canopy plans to devote its
efforts to its international growth strategy, there can be no assurance that the Corporation will be able to deploy the available cash in an effective manner that is accretive to the Corporation, or at all. Until such time as the Corporation is able
to deploy the cash available to it, the Corporation anticipates investing the cash in investment grade securities such as bonds, debentures, trust certificates, guaranteed investment certificates or receipts, certificates of deposit, banker’s
acceptances, bearer deposit notes, deposit receipts, bills, and may include notes and mortgage backed securities issued by Government of Canada or any province of Canada, securities guaranteed for principal and interest by the Government of Canada
or of any province of Canada, investments issued or guaranteed by a Canadian chartered bank; and in certain cases securities issued or guaranteed by a treasury branch, credit union, cooperative or trust corporation. Until such time as the cash from
the Investment is deployed, there can be no assurance that the Corporation will earn any material revenue from the invested cash. 

If the Corporation is unable to complete the Transaction or if completion of the Transaction is delayed, there could be an adverse
effect on the Corporation’s business and the market price of its Common Shares 
 The completion of the Transaction is subject to the
satisfaction of numerous closing conditions, some of which are outside the control of the Corporation, including the approval by the Shareholders and the receipt of applicable stock exchange and regulatory approvals. A substantial delay in obtaining
satisfactory approvals and/or the imposition of unfavourable terms or conditions in the approvals to be obtained could result in the termination of the Subscription Agreement. There can be no certainty, nor can the Corporation provide any assurance,
that these conditions will be satisfied or, if satisfied, when they will be satisfied. If the Transaction is not completed: (a) the market price of the Common Shares could be adversely affected, and may decline to the extent the current market
price reflects an assumption that the Transaction will be completed; (b) certain costs related to the Transaction, such as legal, accounting and financial advisory fees, must be paid by the Corporation even if the Transaction is not completed;
(c) in certain instances, if the Transaction is not completed, the Corporation must pay a termination fee to CBG, which could adversely affect the Corporation’s financial condition; (d) the Corporation may not be successful in finding
another business opportunity that is of equal or greater benefit to the Corporation; and (e) the time and attention of the Corporation’s management will have been diverted away from the conduct of the Corporation’s business in the
ordinary course. 
 If the Subscription Agreement is terminated by CBG or the Corporation, there could be an adverse effect on
the Corporation 
 Each of CBG and the Corporation has the right, in certain circumstances, to terminate the Subscription Agreement. Accordingly,
there can be no certainty, nor can the Corporation provide any assurance, that the Subscription Agreement will not be terminated by any of them prior to the completion of the Transaction. 

If the Subscription Agreement is terminated, the Corporation may be required to pay a termination fee to CBG, including in circumstances where the
Corporation has insufficient resources to fund its payment obligation. In addition, a termination of the Subscription Agreement could materially adversely affect the relationship between the Corporation and Constellation, which the Corporation
believes is important to its successful growth. 

  
 40 

 The Corporation may not realize the benefits of its growth strategy which could
have an adverse effect on the Corporation’s business and results of operations 
 The Corporation believes that the completion of the
Transaction will allow it to accelerate its strategic efforts to capitalize on the significant growth opportunities in cannabis worldwide. As part of its growth strategy, the Corporation will continue its existing efforts and initiate new efforts to
expand in growth markets. A number of risks and uncertainties are associated with the expansion into such markets the implementation of the Transaction is critical to the Corporation’s growth and capital funding. The failure to successfully
implement any of its strategic initiatives could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s business and results of operations. 

Constellation may be able to take actions that do not reflect the will or best interests of other Shareholders 

Upon completion of the Transaction, Constellation, through Greenstar and CBG, will own more than 51% of the outstanding Common Shares on a fully-diluted
basis and will have comprehensive pre-emptive and top-up rights. Accordingly, Constellation will have the ability to influence matters affecting, or submitted to a vote
of, the Shareholders, including the election of directors, amendments to the articles and bylaws of the Corporation and any business combinations or mergers requiring Shareholder approval. As a result, Constellation will have the power to determine
the outcome of most actions requiring Shareholder approval. 
 In addition, Constellation will be able to exercise a controlling influence over the
business and affairs of the Corporation, the selection of senior management of the Corporation, the acquisition or disposition of assets by the Corporation, the payment of dividends and any change of control of the Corporation, such as a merger or
take-over. The effect of this control by Constellation may limit the price that investors are willing to pay for the Common Shares. 
 The presence of
a controlling Shareholder could limit the price that an acquirer might be willing to pay in the future for Common Shares and it may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control or a take-over bid for the Corporation. 

No solicitation of other potential investors 

Prior to entering into the Subscription Agreement, the Corporation engaged in exclusive negotiations with Constellation and did not solicit expressions
of interest from other potential investors. The Board concluded, after receiving advice from their financial and legal advisors, that the risks of soliciting expressions of interest from other potential investors outweighed the benefits of doing so,
particularly having regard to the financial and other terms of the Subscription Agreement. However, there can be no assurance that, if the Corporation had solicited expressions of interest from other potential buyers, that one or more of such
potential investor would not have been willing to invest on more favourable terms than CBG. 
 Restrictions on the Corporation’s ability to
solicit Acquisition Proposals from other potential purchasers 
 While the terms of the Subscription Agreement permit the Corporation to consider
unsolicited Acquisition Proposals, the Subscription Agreement restricts the Corporation from soliciting third parties to make an Acquisition Proposal. See “– Transaction Documents – Covenants of the Corporation regarding Non-Solicitation”. 

  
 41 

 The termination fee and the right to match may discourage other parties from making a Superior
Proposal 
 Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, as a condition to entering into a definitive agreement in respect of a Superior Proposal, the
Corporation is required to offer CBG the right to match and to pay a termination fee to CBG. The right to match and termination fee may discourage other parties from making a Superior Proposal, even if they would otherwise have been willing to
invest in the Corporation on more favourable terms than the Transaction. 
 Constellation’s significant interest may impact liquidity of the
Common Shares 
 The Common Shares may be less liquid and trade at a discount relative to the trading that could occur in circumstances where
Constellation did not have the ability to significantly influence or determine matters affecting the Corporation. Additionally, Constellation’s significant voting interest in the Corporation may discourage transactions involving a change of
control of the Corporation, including transactions in which an investor, as a holder of Common Shares, might otherwise receive a premium for its Common Shares over the then-current market price. 

Constellation may not maintain its equity interest 

Greenstar and CBG are not contractually committed to maintaining an equity stake in the Corporation at current levels or at all. Subject to compliance
with applicable securities laws, Greenstar and CBG may sell some or all of their Common Shares in the future. The A&R IRA contains registration rights, on terms customary for a significant shareholder, pursuant to which the Corporation has
agreed to facilitate sales of Common Shares by Greenstar and CBG. In addition, CBG and Greenstar have the right to require the Corporation to make disclosure to permit them to sell in circumstances where their position in the Corporation may present
liability to Constellation. If either of Greenstar or CBG sells some or all of its Common Shares, including the Common Shares to be issued in the Transaction, the Corporation may not realize the benefits of Constellation’s strategic
partnership. No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, future sales by Constellation of Common Shares or other securities will have on the market price of the Common Shares prevailing from time to time. However, the future sale of a
substantial number of Common Shares by Constellation, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect prevailing market prices for the Common Shares. 

Execution of Growth Strategy 
 An important
part of the Corporation’s growth strategy involves expanding operations in international markets, including in markets where Canopy currently does not operate, and continued expansion is a key aspect of the Corporation’s growth strategy.
This growth strategy involves risks. Canopy may be unable to pursue this strategy in the future at the desired pace or at all. For example, the Corporation may be unable to: 
  

	 	•	 	 identify suitable companies to acquire or invest in; 

 

	 	•	 	 complete acquisitions on satisfactory terms; 

 

	 	•	 	 successfully expand its infrastructure and sales force to support growth; 

 

	 	•	 	 achieve satisfactory returns on acquired companies, particularly in countries where Canopy does not currently operate;
or 

  

	 	•	 	 enter into successful business arrangements for technical assistance or management expertise outside of North America.

  
 42 

 The Corporation competes with other cannabis providers for companies to acquire
or for joint ventures or strategic partnerships 
 The process of integrating acquired businesses, particularly in new markets, may involve
unforeseen difficulties, such as loss of key employees, and may require a disproportionate amount of Canopy management’s attention and the Corporation’s financial and other resources. Canopy can give no assurance that the Corporation will
ultimately be able to effectively integrate and manage the operations of any acquired business or realize anticipated synergies. The failure to successfully integrate the cultures, operating systems, procedures and information technologies of an
acquired business could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s balance sheet and results of operations. 
 If Canopy succeeds in
expanding its existing businesses, that expansion may place increased demands on the Corporation’s management, operating systems, internal controls and financial and physical resources. If not managed effectively, these increased demands may
adversely affect the services we provide to customers. In addition, Canopy personnel, systems, procedures and controls may be inadequate to support future operations, particularly with respect to operations in countries outside of North America.
Consequently, in order to manage growth effectively, the Corporation may be required to increase expenditures to increase its physical resources, expand, train and manage our employee base, improve management, financial and information systems and
controls, or make other capital expenditures. Canopy’s results of operations and financial condition could be harmed if we encounter difficulties in effectively managing the budgeting, forecasting and other process control issues presented by
future growth. 
 Impact of Change of Control 

Certain of the Corporation’s existing contractual arrangements include change of control provisions requiring the Corporation to make certain
payments if the change of control trigger is fulfilled. Although some of these change of control triggers, such as the Corporation’s employment agreements, provide for a “double trigger” to require payment, completion of the
Investment will trigger the change of control provisions in certain of Canopy’s agreements. Change of control may be triggered upon completion of the Investment or upon Constellation exercising its Warrants and holding a position of 50% or more
of Canopy’s outstanding Common Shares. In particular, the Corporation expects that the completion of the Investment will trigger conversion rights of the holders of the Convertible Notes during a period of time preceding and following the
completion of the Investment. As a result, holders of Convertible Notes may benefit from the ability to convert their Convertible Notes even if the Investment is not completed. The Corporation also expects that the completion of the Investment will
trigger an increase in the conversion rate for the Convertible Notes by a number of additional Common Shares with respect to conversions occurring during a period of time following the completion of the Investment. The number of additional Common
Shares, if any, by which the conversion rate shall be increased shall be determined as set forth in the Indenture, based on the date of completion of the Investment and the five-day VWAP ending on, and
including, the trading day immediately preceding the completion of the Investment. The Corporation is permitted to settle conversions in cash, Common Shares or a combination of cash and common shares, in its sole determination. The Corporation
further expects that upon completion of the Investment, it will be required to make an offer to repurchase all of the outstanding Convertible Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes plus accrued but unpaid
interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. 
 Risk Factors Related to the Business of the Corporation 

Whether or not the Transaction is completed, the Corporation will continue to face many of the risks that it currently faces with respect to its
business and affairs. A description of the risk factors (incorporated by reference into this Circular) applicable to the Corporation is contained under the headings “Risk Factors” in the Annual Information Form dated June 28, 2018 and
in the Corporation’s other filings with securities authorities.

 Corporate Governance Practices 

Maintaining a high standard of corporate governance is a priority for the Board and the Corporation’s management as both believe that effective
corporate governance will help create and maintain shareholder value in the long term. A description of the Corporation’s corporate governance practices is set out below. 

Board Mandate 
 The Board has adopted
a mandate to govern its operation. As well, the Audit Committee, and the Corporate Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee have adopted detailed mandates outlining their responsibilities, including the specific responsibilities of the
chairman of the committee. The Board has also appointed a Lead Director who has specific duties which are delineated in a Board-approved position description. 

Lead Director 
 The Board has provided
for the role of a Lead Director. This role is currently held by Mr. Bell. The primary focus of the Lead Director is to provide leadership for the independent directors and to ensure that the Board’s agenda enables it to successfully carry
out its duties. The Lead Director chairs all of the independent director meetings and communicates the results of these meetings to the chief executive officer (“CEO”). Since April 1, 2017, there were 7 independent director
meetings and the Lead Director was present at all of them. 
 The Lead Director’s key responsibilities include, among other things, acting as a
liaison to ensure the relationships between the Board and management are conducted in a professional and constructive manner; supporting the Corporate Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee in developing criteria for directors,
identifying potential candidates and ensuring an adequate orientation program is in place and reviewing director conflict of interest issues as they arise. 

The Lead Director also ensures that the Board has a process for assessing CEO performance and ensuring that appropriate succession, development and
compensation plans are in place for senior management. 
 Orientation and Continuing Education 

While the Corporation does not have a formal continuing education program, the directors individually and as a group are encouraged to keep themselves
informed of changing corporate governance and legal issues. Directors are individually responsible for updating their skills required to meet their obligations as directors. In addition, the Board undertakes thorough strategic planning sessions with
management on an annual basis. 
 Ethical Business Conduct 

The Board is responsible for promoting an ethical business culture and fostering an environment that places an emphasis on compliance. The Board
monitors compliance, including through receipt by the Audit Committee, of reports of unethical behaviour. 
 The Board has adopted a Code of Business
Conduct and Ethics (the “Code”) for directors, officers, employees and applicable third parties conducting work for or on behalf of the Corporation. The Code may be accessed on our website at www.canopygrowth.com. The Code
clearly defines how individuals working for or on behalf of the Corporation are expected to conduct themselves while representing the Corporation. Significant efforts are made to ensure all employees fully understand their responsibilities under the
Code through training, leadership communications, certification requirements and awareness initiatives. Please see www.sedar.com for the full text of the Code. 

  
 44 

 Exercise of Independent Judgment – Conflicts of Interest 

The Corporation is governed by the provisions of the Canada Business Corporations Act, pursuant to which a director or officer of the Corporation
must disclose to the Corporation in writing or by requesting that it be entered in the minutes of meetings of the Board, the nature and extent of any interest that he or she has in a material contract or material transaction, whether made or
proposed, with the Corporation, if the director or officer: (a) is a party to the contract or transaction; (b) is a director or an officer, or an individual acting in a similar capacity, of a party to the contract or transaction; or
(c) has a material interest in a party to the contract or transaction. Except as otherwise permitted by the Canada Business Corporations Act, an interested director cannot vote on any resolution to approve the contract or transaction.

 Nomination of Directors 
 The
Corporate Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee is responsible for the identification and assessment of potential directors for selection by the Board. While no formal nomination procedures are in place to identify new candidates, the
Corporate Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee does review the experience and performance of nominees for election to the Board. Members of the Corporate Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee and/or Board are canvassed with
respect to the qualifications of a prospective candidate and each candidate is evaluated with respect to his or her experience and expertise, with particular attention paid to those areas of expertise that could complement and enhance current
management. The Corporate Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee also assesses any potential conflicts, independence or time commitment concerns that the candidate may present. 

In identifying and considering new candidates for Board nominations, the Corporate Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee considers among
other factors, the impact of the number of directors upon the effectiveness of the Board and the appropriate number of directors to facilitate more effective decision making. The competencies that the Board should possess, and the skills, experience
and reputation of each current director is considered. The Board is continuously evaluated to assess directors’ performance and to make any required improvements. 

Assessments 
 The Board is committed
to regular assessments of its own effectiveness and that of the committees and individual directors. Every year the Corporate Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee makes recommendations to the Board regarding the process to be followed
and the issues to be explored. The Corporate Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee is currently responsible for assessing the effectiveness of the Board, the individual directors and the Audit Committee. In addition, the Lead Director is
responsible for managing the ongoing performance management program of the Corporation and the compensation plan for the CEO. 
 Chief Executive
Officer 
 While the Corporation does not have a written CEO position description, the CEO leads the management of the Corporation’s
business and affairs and the implementation of the resolutions and policies of the Board. The key accountabilities and responsibilities of the CEO include: duties relating to the Corporation’s values, strategy, governance, risk management, risk
appetite, financial information, human resources management, operational direction, Board interaction, talent management, succession planning and effective communication with shareholders, clients, employees, regulators and other stakeholders.

 Director Term Limits and Other Mechanisms of Board Renewal 

Due to the time and effort necessary for each director to become familiar with the business of the Corporation, the Board does not consider it
appropriate or necessary to limit the number of terms a director may serve. Additionally, the Board considers that not mandating any term limits allows for continuity in an 

  
 46 

 
emerging industry to ensure greater expertise. As an alternative to term limits, in addition to reviewing director performance on an annual basis, as part of assessing the composition of the
Board, the Corporate Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee considers, among other things, the tenure of the existing directors and appropriate mix of tenures, as well as Board succession planning. 

Diversity 
 While the Corporation does
not have a formal policy with respect to diversity, the Corporation recognizes the benefits of having a diverse Board and seeks to increase diversity at the Board level. The Corporation does not maintain quotas or targets regarding gender
representation on the Board or in executive officer positions. All Board appointments will be made based on merit, in the context of the skills, experience, independence, knowledge and other qualities which the Board as a whole requires to be
effective, with due regard for the benefits of diversity (including the level of representation of women on the Board). As at the date hereof, the Corporation does not have any female executive officers or Board members, but has four females who
hold senior management positions. The Corporation recruits, manages and promotes on the basis of an individual’s competence, qualification, experience and performance, regardless of gender, age, ethnic origin, religion, sexual orientation or
disability or other aspects of diversity in executive officer positions. 
 The Board’s mandate expressly encourages a diversity of background
skills and experience and personal characteristics among the directors. As a result, while neither a written policy nor targets relating to the identification and nomination of female directors have been adopted to date and the emphasis in filling
Board vacancies is on finding the best qualified candidates given the needs and circumstances of the Board, a nominee’s diversity will be considered favourably in the identification and selection process. 

The Board has not adopted any policies that specifically address the appointment of women to executive officers positions. The Board believes that
executive officer appointments should be made on the basis of the skills, knowledge, experience and character of individual candidates and the requirements of management at the time. The Corporation believes that considering the broadest group of
individuals is required to provide the leadership needed to achieve the Corporation’s business objectives; however, due to the relatively small size of the Corporation’s executive leadership, the representation of women in executive
officer positions has not been considered when making executive officer appointments and the Corporation has not adopted targets regarding the representation of women in executive officer positions for the reasons stated above. 

Corporate Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee 

The Corporate Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee’s purpose is to provide leadership in shaping the corporate governance policies and
practices of the Corporation, assist the Board in its oversight of executive compensation, management development and succession, director compensation and executive compensation disclosure. 

The Corporate Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee’s primary responsibilities are to make recommendations to our Board in respect of:
(1) compensation policies and guidelines; (2) management incentive and perquisite plans and any non-standard remuneration plans; (3) senior management, executive and officer compensation;
(4) Board compensation matters; and (5) corporate governance policies. In addition, the Corporate Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee is responsible for overseeing and assessing the functioning of the Board, its committees
and individual directors, and for the development, recommendation to the Board, implementation and assessment of effective corporate governance principles. 

The members of the Corporate Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee are not employees or officers of the Corporation. The Corporate
Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee is composed of Peter Stringham (Chair), John K. Bell and Chris Schnarr, who are considered independent by 

  
 47 

 
the Board. The Board believes that the Corporate Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee is able to fulfill its obligations and ensure an objective process for determining executive
officer compensation. 
 The principal responsibilities and duties of the Corporate Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee include:
recommending to the Board the appointment/termination of the CEO; annually, reviewing and approving corporate goals and objectives relevant to CEO compensation and evaluating the CEO’s performance in light of those corporate goals and
objectives; annually, reviewing the results of the CEO’s performance management program with the Lead Director; based on recommendations from the CEO, approving the appointment, promotion and termination of the other senior executives;
annually, reviewing and making recommendations to the Board with respect to the compensation level of the CEO and the other senior executives, including any special bonuses to be paid to such individuals; annually, reviewing and approving the actual
compensation to be paid to the CEO and the other senior executives; annually, reviewing and recommending to the Board the amount, determination and payment of remuneration by the Corporation to the directors in light of their time commitment, fees
paid by comparable companies and their responsibilities; monitoring and, annually, reviewing and recommending to the Board the Corporation’s compensation and benefit programs; reviewing data from independent sources relative to competitive
executive, non-executive and non-employee director compensation plans as they relate to the Corporation’s compensation plans; reviewing executive compensation
disclosure prior to its public disclosure by the Corporation; establishing and monitoring the terms and conditions of the Corporation’s stock option, stock purchase and any other equity based plans, as applicable and any related agreements and
amendments and recommending changes to the Board as necessary; acting as the Board committee responsible for administering the incentive plans; reviewing and recommending to the Board annual equity awards under the incentive plans; reviewing and
approving, from time to time, the authority delegated to the CEO for stock option awards to new hires; reviewing and recommending to the Board the succession plan for the CEO and the other senior executives; assisting the CEO by reviewing and
recommending to the Board major organizational changes and significant new human resources policies/programs or material changes to existing human resource policies and programs; ensuring that the Corporation’s human resource policies are in
compliance with applicable laws and regulations; reviewing and monitoring the Corporation’s overall employment environment; considering any other human resources issues as the Committee considers appropriate or as may be referred to the
Committee by the Board; and annually reviewing the Committee’s mandate and any other documents used by the Corporate Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee in fulfilling its responsibilities. The Corporate Governance, Compensation
and Nominating Committee Mandate sets forth the role and responsibilities of the committee’s chair. 
 Audit Committee 

The Audit Committee’s primary purpose is to assist the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities for the financial reporting process, the
system of internal control over financial reporting and accounting compliance, the audit process and processes for identifying and evaluating and monitoring the management of the Corporation’s principal risks impacting financial reporting. The
committee also assists the Board with the oversight of financial strategies and overall risk management. The Audit Committee Mandate sets forth the role and responsibilities of the committee’s chair. 

The Audit Committee is composed of Chris Schnarr (Chair), John K. Bell and Peter Stringham, each of whom is an independent director of the Corporation,
and the Corporation anticipates that the audit committee will be composed of the same directors following the Meeting. As noted elsewhere in this Circular, if the Transaction Approval Resolution is approved, the Board will be reconstituted. It is
currently anticipated that Messrs. Bell and Stringham, together with Ms. Judy Schmelling, would serve as members of the Audit Committee, all of whom would be independent within the meaning of applicable securities laws.

 Notes: 

	 	(1)	 Mr. Linton has served as the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer since August 28, 2014. No portion of
his salary is attributed to his service on the Board and does not receive any compensation for his role as a director of the Corporation. 

	 	(2)	 Mr. Saunders has served as the Corporation’s Chief Financial Officer since June 1, 2015.

	 	(3)	 Mr. Zekulin has served as the Corporation’s President since August 4, 2016 and became Co-Chief Executive Officer as of June 27, 2018. 

	 	(4)	 Mr. Dufourmantelle served as the Corporation’s Senior Vice President of Strategic Expansion and Continuous
Improvement since June 26, 2017. As of April 30, 2018, Mr. Dufourmantelle became the Chief Operating Officer of Canopy Rivers Corporation, one of the Corporation’s subsidiaries, and is no longer employed directly by the
Corporation. 

	 	(5)	 Mr. Kovacevic has served as the Corporation’s Senior Vice President and Managing Director since
November 20, 2017. 

	 	(6)	 This value was used both for the purposes of compensation (grant date fair value) and accounting value and was derived
using the Black-Scholes methodology. The underlying assumptions used in fair valuing the options are as follows: 

	 	●	 	 Date: June 28, 2017; grant price equal to market price: $8.18; expected volatility: 61.48%; expected option life: 6
years. 

	 	●	 	 Date: February 15, 2018; grant price equal to market price: $27.99; expected volatility: 69%; expected option life:
6 years. 

	 	(7) 	 This value includes options granted on December 4, 2017 to each Named Executive Officer to purchase shares in the
Corporation’s subsidiary Canopy Rivers Corporation at an exercise price of $0.60 (the “Canopy Rivers Option Grants”). In addition to the Canopy Rivers Option Grants, each of the Named Executive Officers were provided loans to
purchase shares in Canopy Rivers Corporation.  

Statement of Executive Compensation 

The following discussion describes the significant elements of the Corporation’s executive compensation program, with particular
emphasis on the process for determining compensation payable to the NEOs for fiscal 2018. 
 The following also summarizes certain
material changes the Corporation intends to adopt for its executive compensation program for fiscal 2019. 
 With respect to employee
compensation, including compensation of the Corporation’s executives, it is desirable to appreciate some of the Corporation’s unique attributes. The Corporation is focused on increasing its market share in federally-legal cannabis markets
in Canada and abroad, through ongoing 

  
 51 

 
investment in brand development, global expansion, product diversification, IT systems and initiatives to increase cannabis production (dried & oils), fulfillment and shipping capacity.
As a cannabis related company, with limited access to debt financing, the Corporation is largely dependent upon equity financing to provide the capital necessary to grow its business. With a view to extending the cash resources that the Corporation
has available, it is important for the Corporation to be prudent in the management of its cash expenses across all areas of the Corporation’s operations, including in the area of employee compensation. 

As a leader in the global cannabis sector, the Corporation’s employees are developing highly desirable skill sets and work experience that are in
increasing demand. To retain valuable employees and to avoid the significant harm to the business that losing these employees would entail, the Corporation must establish competitive employee compensation programs. 

Compensation Discussion and Analysis 

Each NEO of the Corporation receives a base salary in recognition for discharging job responsibilities and reflects the officer’s performance over
time, as well as that individual’s particular experience and qualifications. An executive’s base salary is reviewed by the Corporate Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee on an annual basis and may be adjusted to take into
account performance contributions for the year and to reflect performance contributions over a number of years. 
 The Corporation’s compensation
philosophy is based on attracting and retaining employees whose compensation is aligned with its strategies and whose interests are aligned with those of the Corporation’s shareholders, all while effectively managing risk and prudently
investing the Corporation’s equity derived development capital. The Corporation believes that an effective compensation program founded on these principles is a key element to building long-term shareholder value. 

 
 

 
 Attracting and Retaining Talent – compensation targets are set to ensure they remain relevant to the
markets in which the Corporation competes for talent both inside and outside the Corporation’s industry. 
 Alignment of Compensation with
Corporate Strategies – incentive awards are generally expected to be linked to the Corporation’s short-term and long-term strategic objectives and “pay for performance” programs are generally expected to align with this
philosophy. 
 Alignment with Shareholders’ Interests – given the “at risk” component of total compensation, employees are
generally rewarded for contributing to a higher return on shareholders’ investment and their reward levels are negatively affected by a lower return on shareholders’ investment. The use of equity-based compensation is intended to cause
employees to behave like (and become) the owners of the Corporation. The use of equity-based compensation as part of a competitive total compensation package for employees in certain roles also allows the Corporation to offer lower base salaries
thereby lowering its fixed cash costs. 
 Effective Risk Management – compensation structure must encourage the Corporation’s
management to take responsible risks and to manage those risks appropriately. 
 Cash Management – compensation structure is to be
designed to help the Corporation in its efforts to prudently manage the Corporation’s equity funded cash resources. Named Executive Officers are generally 

  
 52 

 
not present for, nor do they participate in, Corporate Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee or Board discussions or approvals relating to their own compensation. 

Compensation Benchmarking and Peer Group 

Due to the complexity associated with the Corporation working within an emerging market sector and having to be prudent with cash management, while
competing in a variety of both medical and recreational sectors, several industries were required to develop the compensation benchmarking peer group. The Corporate Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee, working with its independent
executive compensation consultant, Global Governance Advisors Inc. (“GGA”), identified four key market sectors to draw appropriate peers from and then used a secondary peer group of high growth companies to complement the primary
peer group. More specifically, the primary benchmarking peer group consisted of companies from the following relevant sectors: 
  

			
	 Sector

 
	  	 Rationale

 

	 Cannabis

 
	  	 Reflects the Corporation’s primary
market
  

	 Fast moving consumer goods
	  	 Reflects the recreational market of spirits, distilleries and
brewers, which will become a competing substitute product for consumers
  

	 Specialized pharmaceuticals
	  	 Represents the medical cannabis aspect of the competitive
market
  

	 Technology
	  	 Represents the high growth and entrepreneurial spirt the
Corporation generates within its business strategy
  

 The criteria used to select the primary peer group included being a publicly traded company on either the TSX or a major
U.S. exchange, having a market capitalization between $1.5 and $27 billion at the time of the review, and operating within one of the four industry sectors referenced above. The primary peers selected for benchmarking executive compensation
are: 
  

							
	Primary Peer Group
	Cannabis	  	Fast Moving Consumer
Goods	  	Specialized Pharmaceuticals	  	Technology
	 Aphria Inc.
	  	 MGP Ingredients Inc.
	  	 Akorn Inc.
	  	 Constellation Software Inc.

	 Aurora Cannabis Inc.
	  	 Molson Coors Canada Inc.
	  	Corcept Therapeutics Incorporated	  	 Kinaxis Inc.

	 MedReleaf Corp.
	  	 The Boston Beer Company Inc.
	  	 	  	 Open Text Corporation

	 	  	 Universal Corporation
	  	 	  	 Shopify Inc.

	 	  	 Vector Group Ltd.
	  	 	  	 

 The secondary peer group selected for benchmarking executive compensation was generally used for additional contextual
purposes as opposed to setting pay levels, and to acknowledge and examine the characteristics of executive compensation at high growth companies. The criteria used to select the secondary peers included being a publicly traded company on either the
TSX or a major U.S. exchange, had experienced share price appreciation 100% or greater within the past 3 years, having a market cap between $1.5 million and $27 billion at the time of the review, generating total revenue between
$17.5 million and $500 million and operate within one of the four key sectors identified above. The secondary “high growth” peers selected for benchmarking are:

 Building Blocks of Compensation 

The Corporation’s compensation program applies to employees in various roles within the Corporation, including the NEOs, and consists of fixed and
“at risk” compensation, provided in a mix of cash and equity. Although indirect compensation such as benefits and perquisites make up a portion of each employee’s compensation, the main components of the total compensation structure
are as follows: 
  
 

 
 Compensation Components 

Base Salary 
 The
Corporation sets a compensation level for each executive and/or employee based on market rates for similar positions and each employee’s expected contribution and past performance. Base salary forms the basis for attracting talent and comparing
to and remaining competitive with the market. It is a fixed component of the executives’ compensation plan and used to determine other elements of compensation and benefits. The base salary is established at the beginning of the year by taking
into account the recommendations of our independent consultant. An employee’s base salary is intended to provide compensation to secure the employee’s services for the Corporation and assist the Corporation in its efforts to prudently
manage its cash resources. Any increases to eligible employee’s compensation are, however, entirely “at risk” in that they are subject to the Corporation’s performance and the employee’s individual performance. 

Short-Term Incentive (STIP) 

The Short-Term Incentive is the cash bonus opportunity executives are eligible to receive. The STIP links pay to individual and corporate achievements.
It is the first layer of variable compensation and is paid in cash following year-end results based on annual performance. Bonuses are not paid unless a threshold level of performance is achieved, with
performance benchmarks being specified for each NEO that contain metrics and weightings that align to the business and reflect recommendations and input from the CEO, Corporate Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee and the independent
advisor, GGA. 

  
 55 

 The STIP is a leveraged bonus design, where executives may earn between 50% and 200% of the target
opportunity (the “Target”). A Target opportunity is set for each employee based on either a percentage of base salary or a fixed dollar amount. In a year in which the Corporation fully met, but did not exceed, its objectives, and
the executive and employee’s contribution was fully satisfactory, it would be expected that the employee would earn his or her compensation level. However, subject to the Corporate Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee and Board
exercising their discretion, in a year in which the Corporation did not meet its objectives, an employee would be paid less than his or her full compensation level. 

Similarly, in a year in which the Corporation over-performed and exceeded its objectives, there would be leverage applied to the at-risk portion of compensation and the eligible employees would earn up to 200% of the Target. The upward leverage applied to any of the at-risk incentive programs are capped
in the event the Corporation significantly beats its objectives. 
 These targets take the form of short-term financial and operating metrics and
personal objectives, all focused on positioning the Corporation for present and future success. The Corporation believes that the use of financial targets such as revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
(“EBITDA”) and other operating performance measures, such as annual gross sales and annual gross profits, are variables that are best correlated to the Corporation’s long-term, sustainable financial strength. These targets are
set at levels believed to be challenging yet realistically attainable given anticipated trends. The performance targets for short-term incentives are calculated as follows: (i) EBITDA measured against budgeted EBITDA target; (ii) annual
gross sales measured against budgeted annual gross sales’ target; and (iii) annual gross profits measured against budgeted annual gross profits’ target. The Board uses these financial elements as benchmarks to determine the
Corporation’s performance goals across all business areas and include achievements in finance and business development as compared to each employee and executive in connection with their own individual success. 

STIP Changes for 2019 
 The
Corporation has begun establishing formal individual performance management plans and formal variable, “at risk” incentive plans for employees in various roles to ensure that performance and compensation are fairly and objectively
connected. Additional qualitative factors determined by the Corporate Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee may also play a part in determining matters relating to a given employee’s compensation. The leverage within the STIP will
remain capped at 200% of Target, to continue to align with market practice. 
 Omnibus Plan 

At the 2017 annual general and special meeting, Shareholders approved the 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan of the Corporation (the “Original Omnibus
Plan”). At the special meeting of shareholders held on July 30, 2018, Shareholders approved certain amendments to the Original Omnibus Plan to allow for, among other matters, an increase in the total Common Shares available for award
thereunder (the Original Omnibus Plan, as so amended, is referred to herein as the “Omnibus Plan”). 
 Pursuant to the Omnibus Plan,
the Corporation issues share-based medium- and long-term incentives. All directors, officers, employees and independent contractors of the Corporation and/or its affiliates (“Company Personnel”) are eligible to receive awards of
common share purchase options (“Options”) restricted share units (“RSUs”), DSUs, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock (“Restricted Stock”), performance awards (“Performance
Awards”) or other stock-based awards under the Omnibus Plan. All awards granted under the Omnibus Plan are non-transferable. 

The Corporation’s current compensation program, as described in the “Executive Compensation – Compensation Discussion and Analysis –
Compensation Components” section, provides total compensation for employees in various roles that comprises base salary (fixed cash amount), short-term 

  
 56 

 
performance incentives (variable cash award) and lastly, medium- and long-term “at risk” equity-based incentives through awards under the Omnibus Plan that align employees’
interests with those of shareholders. The use of equity-based compensation as part of a competitive total compensation package for employees in certain roles also allows the Corporation to offer lower base salaries thereby lowering its fixed cash
compensation costs. As a cannabis related company, with limited access to debt financing, the Corporation is largely dependent upon equity financing to provide the capital necessary to grow its business. With a view to extending the cash resources
that the Corporation has available, it is important for the Corporation to be prudent in the management of its fixed cash expenses across all areas of the Corporation’s operations, including in the area of employee compensation. 

The maximum number of Common Shares issuable from treasury pursuant to awards under the Omnibus Plan cannot exceed 15% of the total outstanding Common
Shares from time to time, less the number of Common Shares issuable pursuant to the Corporation’s employee stock purchase plan, which is the only other security-based compensation arrangement of the Corporation. 

Pursuant to the Omnibus Plan, the Corporate Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee may provide the circumstances in which awards may be
exercised, vested, paid or forfeited in the event a participant ceases to provide service to the Corporation or any affiliate prior to the end of a performance period or exercise or settlement of an award. 

The Omnibus Plan serves several purposes for the Corporation. One purpose is to develop the interests of Company Personnel in the growth and development
of the Corporation by providing such persons with the opportunity to acquire an economic interest in the Corporation. All Company Personnel are considered eligible to be selected to receive an award under the Omnibus Plan. Another purpose is to
attract and retain key talent and valuable Company Personnel, who are necessary to the Corporation’s success and reputation, with a competitive compensation mechanism. Finally, the Omnibus Plan aligns the interests of the participants with
those of Shareholders by devising a compensation mechanism which encourages the prudent maximization of distributions to Shareholders and long-term growth. 

Medium-term Incentives 
 The
Omnibus Plan provides the Corporate Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee with an additional equity-based compensation alternative in the form of RSUs. These instruments provide “at risk” equity-based incentive that vests over
a three-year period, adds a medium-term incentive option to the Corporation’s compensation program and may replace short-term cash-based incentives currently provided for in the Corporation’s compensation plan. RSUs may be granted as part
of an employee’s “at risk” incentives and are considered “medium-term” incentives because they vest in equal installments over three years from the date of grant and any payments on the vesting dates are determined with
reference to the market price of Common Shares on that date. 
 RSUs are subject to restrictions as imposed by the Corporate Governance, Compensation
and Nominating Committee may impose (including, without limitation, any limitation on the right to receive any dividend or dividend equivalent or other right). These restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such time or times, in such
installments or otherwise, as the Corporate Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee may deem appropriate. 
 As of the Record Date, the
Corporation had issued 17,584 RSUs. 
 Long-term Incentives 

Long-term incentives in the form of Options, generally granted to employees in various roles, are intended to align the employees’ interests with
those of the Corporation’s shareholders. A holder of vested Options may acquire Common Shares at the exercise price established on the Options’ date of grant. The 

  
 57 

 
Corporation sets annual target ranges for Option grants to its employees, subject to the Corporation’s financial performance and the employee’s individual performance. 

Including “at risk” long-term incentives in compensation package allows the Corporation to design compensation programs targeted to deliver
attractive total compensation but which feature lower fixed cash-based base salary thereby helping the Corporation to manage its cash flow. 
 Options
represent compensation that is intended to align employees’ interests with those of shareholders by providing employees with the opportunity to become shareholders of the Corporation. These awards are considered entirely “at risk” in
terms of how much they will pay out because the value of Options rises (and may fall) in conjunction with the market price of Common Shares. The Corporation believes that Options will promote the retention of employees. 

Options are never issued at an exercise price below the market price of the Common Shares. Notwithstanding valuations of Options required by financial
reporting requirements, Options only have value to their holders when the market price of Common Shares exceeds the exercise price of the Options; the greater the difference between the market price (i.e. when the market price of the Common Shares
rises, thereby increasing shareholder value) and the exercise price, the greater the value of the Options. 
 In determining the number of share-based
awards to be granted to the executive officers, the Board (after receiving recommendations of the Corporate Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee) takes into account the number of share-based awards, if any, previously granted to each
executive officer and the exercise price of any outstanding share-based awards to ensure that such grants comply with the policies of the TSX and closely align the interests of the executive officers with the interests of the Shareholders. 

As of the Record Date, the Corporation has granted Options and RSUs and in accordance with the Omnibus Plan. The Omnibus Plan provides an incentive for
and encourages ownership of the Common Shares by its key individuals so that they may increase their stake in the Corporation and benefit from increases in the value of the Common Shares. 

With the approval of the Corporate Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee, a participant may elect to exercise an Option, in whole or in
part, without payment of the aggregate Option price due on such exercise by electing to receive Common Shares equal in value to the difference between the Option price and the fair market value on the date of exercise computed in accordance with the
Omnibus Plan. 
 The term of each Option is fixed by the Corporate Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee but cannot exceed six years from
the date of grant thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to certain exceptions detailed in the Omnibus Plan, if the term of an Option would otherwise expire during, or within ten business days of the expiration of a Blackout Period (as
such term is defined in the Omnibus Plan) applicable to such participant, then the term of such Option is extended to the close of business on the tenth business day following the expiration of the Blackout Period. 

Performance Awards 
 Under
the Omnibus Plan, the Corporate Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee may grant a non-transferable Performance Award to a participant payable upon the attainment of specific Performance Goals (as
such term is defined in the Omnibus Plan). To date the Corporation has not granted any Performance Awards. 
 Upon a participant’s termination of
service for any reason during the Performance Period (as such term is defined in the Omnibus Plan) for a given Performance Award, the Performance Award in question will vest or be forfeited in accordance with the terms and conditions established by
the Corporate Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee at grant. Based on service, performance and/or such other 

  
 58 

 
factors or criteria, if any, as the Corporate Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee may determine, such committee may, at or after grant, due to such service, performance and/or such
other factors or criteria relating to the participant’s performance to date, accelerate on a pro rata basis the vesting of all or any part of any Performance Award. 

When and if Performance Awards become payable, a participant having received the grant of such award is entitled to receive payment from the Corporation
in settlement of such award in cash, Common Shares of equivalent value (based on the fair market value), in some combination thereof, or in any other form determined by the Corporate Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee at its sole
discretion.

 Compensation Risk 

The Board considers and assesses, as necessary, the implications of risks associated with the Corporation’s compensation policies and practices and
devotes such time and resources as it believes are appropriate given the Corporation’s relatively limited operating history, size and method of executive compensation. The Corporation’s practice during fiscal 2018 of compensating its
officers through a mix of salary and incentives provided under the Omnibus Plan is designed to mitigate risk by: (i) ensuring that the Corporation retains such officers; and (ii) aligning the interests of its officers with the short-term
and long-term objectives of the Corporation and its Shareholders. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, the Board did not identify any risks arising from the Corporation’s compensation policies and practices that the Board believed
were reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Corporation. 
 The Corporate Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee
reviews the Corporation’s compensation practices and policies at least annually and more often as may be required to deal with particular issues that may arise between annual reviews. 

The Corporate Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee and the Board have implemented policies designed to mitigate risk in the
Corporation’s compensation policies and practices including the following: 
  

	 	•	 	 the Corporate Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee’s annual review of the Corporation’s
compensation practices are designed to ensure that the Corporation compensates its key employees satisfactorily to ensure the Corporation does not lose employees with critical skills; 

 

	 	•	 	 a significant portion of each employee’s compensation is at-risk to align
their interests with those of the Corporation’s shareholders and help motivate employees to continually improve the Corporation and its business and will depend on the employee’s individual performance and the Corporation’s overall
performance; 

  

	 	•	 	 annual performance-based cash incentives are capped; 

 

	 	•	 	 the three-year vesting periods for all Options have been implemented to not only mitigate the risk of employees
generating short-term benefits from the Omnibus but also to not reward employees if the market price of the Common Shares falls and conversely to reward them if the market price increases; 

 

	 	•	 	 in addition to cash incentives, increases to base salary and Option grants are largely based on employees’ overall
performance, thereby providing the potential for a strong pay-for-performance link; 

 

	 	•	 	 the terms of the Corporation’s Insider Trading Policy ensure that Options cannot be granted when the Corporation
has undisclosed material information. 

 Based on the Corporation’s compensation practices and policies, the Corporate
Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee and Board have concluded that there appear to be limited risks 

  
 61 

 
arising from the compensation programs that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Corporation at this time. The Corporation’s employees are increasingly well sought
after, so the Corporation must ensure that its compensation programs are competitive or risk losing valuable and skilled employees. 
 Financial
Instruments 
 Except where prohibited by law, the Corporation’s NEOs and directors have not been prohibited from purchasing financial
instruments, such as prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars or units of exchange funds, that are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in market value of equity securities granted as compensation or held, directly or indirectly,
by a Named Executive Officer or director. To the Corporation’s knowledge, no executive officer or director of the Corporation has entered into or purchased such a financial instrument. 

The Corporation’s Insider Trading Policy prohibits short-term speculation. It suggests that insiders of the Corporation should refrain from
frequent buying and selling of the securities of the Corporation for the purpose of realizing the short-term profits and should acquire securities only as a long-term investment. 

As part of the Corporation’s insider trading policy, employees of the Corporation and members of the Board are prohibited from entering into any
short sale of the Corporation’s securities. Other than with respect to the Corporation issued Options, employees of the Corporation and Board members are also prohibited from purchasing any put or call options with respect to any the
Corporation’s securities. 
 Compensation Governance 

As discussed above under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis”, decisions regarding compensation of the officers and directors are made by
the Board, based on recommendations by the Corporate Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee. The Corporate Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee relies on input from management to assess individual performance of the officers.

 As well, the Corporate Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee has retained GGA to provide services to the Board or the Corporate
Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee in determining the compensation for any of the Corporation’s executive officers’ or directors’ compensation. The Corporate Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee initially
retained GGA in October 2015. 
 In fiscal 2018, GGA completed the following work for the Corporate Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee: 

	 	●	 	 Reviewed the Compensation Philosophy and Peer Group; 

	 	●	 	 Reviewed executive compensation; and 

	 	●	 	 Reviewed director compensation. 

GGA’s fees incurred in the last two completed fiscal years are as follows:

 Performance Graph 

The following performance graph illustrates the Corporation’s cumulative shareholder return assuming reinvestment of dividends, by comparing a $100
investment in the Common Shares beginning April 4, 2014 to the return on the S&P/TSX Composite Index.

 The Board is of the view that the Corporation’s management, including each of the NEOs, have delivered excellent
value to shareholders in 2018. As evidenced by the performance graph above, the Corporation’s shares stayed relatively on par with the TSX Composite Index, until Fiscal 2017, when the Corporation’s shares significantly outperformed the TSX
Composite Index, a trend which continued exponentially in Fiscal 2018. The trend shown in the above graph does not necessarily correspond to the Corporation’s compensation to its NEOs for the period ended March 31, 2018 or for any prior
fiscal periods. In addition, the Board considered the high-quality contributions by each executive in achieving notable milestones in business development, including acquiring several licensed producers or soon to be licensed producers across
Canada, partnerships with several international pharmaceutical and medical companies; sponsoring a national campaign; and expansion of the Corporation’s approved licensed activities. In addition, executive compensation during this period is
reflective of the dedication and loyalty of the executives to grow the Corporation and to obtain the goal of becoming the world leader in the cannabis industry.

 Employment Agreements 

Bruce Linton  

Mr. Linton provides services to the Corporation pursuant to a consulting agreement between the Corporation, Mr. Linton and his holding
company, HBAM Holdings Inc. (“HBAM”), dated May 15, 2017 (the “Linton Agreement”). The initial term of the Linton Agreement was April 1, 2017 to March 31, 2018, which term automatically renews in
successive one-year periods ending on March 31 in each year in each case, unless otherwise terminated. Pursuant to the terms of the Linton Agreement, the Corporation shall pay to HBAM a monthly fee on the
first of each month of $16,667 (the “Consulting Fee”) for each month in the term in consideration of the consulting services, plus a car allowance in the amount of $1,500 per month. HBAM is also eligible for an annual short-term
incentive bonus of up to $300,000 linked to attainment of objectives by Mr. Linton based on agreed-upon objectives. Further, the Corporation agreed to grant HBAM $200,000 of RSUs, upon establishing such long-term RSU incentive plan. HBAM is
further eligible to receive equity or equity-based compensation granted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation from time to time. The Consulting Fee was increased to $25,000 per month effective April 1, 2018. 

The Linton Agreement may be terminated by HBAM upon giving the Corporation ninety (90) days’ prior written notice, in which case HBAM forfeits
any unvested equity awards. The Corporation may terminate the Linton Agreement at any time, for any reason, upon the provision of the following by the Corporation to HBAM: a lump-sum payment to HBAM equal to
HBAM’s earnings (that being the Consulting Fee plus any bonus) over the two (2) year period immediately preceding the date of termination; continuation of all benefits for a period of two (2) years (or provide payment in lieu
thereof); any unvested RSUs held by HBAM shall continue to vest over the following two (2) year period (to the extent permitted); and any unvested stock options held by HBAM shall vest as of the termination date (the “HBAM
Termination Entitlements”). Receipt of the foregoing payments or other benefits by HBAM would be subject to HBAM signing a full and final release in favour of the Corporation, and Mr. Linton resigning as a director and/or officer of
the Corporation. 
 The Linton Agreement may be terminated by the Corporation at any time for cause, failure by HBAM to comply with a material
provision, performance by HBAM of an act by which the Corporation incurs liability out of the ordinary course, or if either HBAM or the Corporation shall become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or experience other similar
events. Following certain liquidation events, the Linton Agreement may be terminated by the Corporation or at the election of HBAM within sixty (60) days of such event, upon the provision by the Corporation to HBAM of the HBAM Termination
Entitlements, which would be subject to HBAM signing a full and final release in favour of the Corporation, and Mr. Linton resigning as a director and/or officer of the Corporation. Upon the death of Mr. Linton, the Linton Agreement shall
be automatically terminated, and the Corporation shall, within thirty (30) days, make a lump-sum payment to his estate in the amount of HBAM’s earnings over the one (1) year period immediately
preceding Mr. Linton’s death. 
 Pursuant to the terms of the Linton Agreement, HBAM and Mr. Linton are subject to certain non-competition and non-solicitation restrictions. During the term of the Linton Agreement and for two (2) years thereafter, neither Mr. Linton nor HBAM shall be
engaged in any business within Canada which is the same as, or competitive with, the business of the Corporation. Similarly, neither Mr. Linton nor HBAM shall solicit any of the Corporation’s employees or customers during the term of the
Linton Agreement and for two (2) years thereafter. 
 Mark Zekulin  

Mr. Zekulin provides services to the Corporation pursuant to an executive employment agreement between Mr. Zekulin and Tweed Inc.
(“Tweed”) dated May 31, 2014 (the “Zekulin Agreement”). Mr. Zekulin is entitled to participate in the bonus or incentive compensation plans made available by Tweed to its employees, and is further eligible
to receive stock options, as determined by the board of directors. Upon 

  
 64 

 
the occurrence of a change of control affecting Tweed, Mr. Zekulin’s options shall accelerate and become vested and exercisable as of immediately prior to such change of control event.

 Tweed may terminate Mr. Zekulin’s employment for cause without notice or payment in lieu thereof, or without cause upon the provision of
thirty-four (34) weeks’ notice or payment of base salary in lieu of notice (plus statutory severance pay, if applicable). As a condition of receiving any payments which exceed the statutory requirements for a termination without cause,
Mr. Zekulin would be required to execute a release in favour of Tweed. Following a termination without cause, Tweed must continue to make the contributions required to maintain Mr. Zekulin’s employee health benefits and insurance
benefits (if Mr. Zekulin is a member of such benefit plans at the time of such termination without cause) for the minimum statutory period as prescribed by the Ontario Employment Standards Act, 2000 S.O. 2000, c. 41 (the
“ESA”). Mr. Zekulin may resign from his employment by providing four (4) weeks’ notice. Pursuant to the Zekulin Agreement, Mr. Zekulin is subject to non-competition and non-solicitation provisions during the period of his employment and for 12 months thereafter. 

Olivier Dufourmantelle  

As of April 30, 2018, Mr. Dufourmantelle became the Chief Operating Officer of Canopy Rivers Corporation, one of the Corporation’s
subsidiaries, and is no longer employed directly by the Corporation. The following describes Mr. Dufourmantelle’s employment agreement in effect as of the end of Fiscal 2018. Mr. Dufourmantelle provided services to the Corporation
pursuant to an employment agreement between Mr. Dufourmantelle and Tweed dated May 1, 2015, as amended (the “Dufourmantelle Agreement”). Mr. Dufourmantelle was eligible for a performance bonus of $90,000, based on
agreed upon performance objectives, and was eligible to participate in Tweed’s stock option plan. 
 Tweed may terminate
Mr. Dufourmantelle’s employment for cause without notice or payment in lieu thereof, or without cause upon the provision of eight (8) weeks’ notice or payment of base salary in lieu of notice (plus statutory severance pay, if

(8) week notice period. Mr. Dufourmantelle may resign from his employment by providing Tweed with four (4) weeks’ notice. Mr. Dufourmantelle’s role with Canopy Rivers Corporation did not give rise to any termination
payments. 
 Pursuant to the Dufourmantelle Agreement, Mr. Dufourmantelle is subject to non-competition
and non-solicitation provisions during the period of his employment and for 12 months thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mr. Dufourmantelle had the right to negotiate with the Corporation to file
an application under the ACMPR on his own behalf; provided, however, that during employment and for 6 months thereafter, Mr. Dufourmantelle may not employ any person who is Employed by the Corporation or was employed by the Corporation during
his period of employment.

 Pursuant to the Saunders Agreement, Mr. Saunders received an initial
grant of 250,000 stock options, on terms and conditions as approved by the Board of Directors of Tweed (the “Initial Options”). Upon the occurrence of a change of control affecting Tweed, the Initial Options shall accelerate and
become vested and exercisable as of immediately prior to such change of control event. With respect to any stock options granted subsequent to the Initial Options (the “Subsequent Options”), if Tweed experiences a change of control
event and Mr. Saunders’ employment is subsequently terminated without cause within two (2) years of such change of control, the Subsequent Options (and other unvested equity awards) shall accelerate and become vested and exercisable effective
as of the date on which the notice of termination of employment is provided to Mr. Saunders. 
 Tweed may terminate Mr. Saunders’ employment
for cause without notice or payment in lieu of notice, or without cause upon the provision of thirty-four (34) weeks’ notice or payment of base salary in lieu thereof (plus statutory severance pay, if applicable). As a condition of

non-competition and non-solicitation provisions during the period of employment and for 12 months thereafter. 

Termination and Change of Control Benefits 

A narrative description of the individual payments the Corporation is currently required to make upon termination or a change in control of the
Corporation is described above under “– Employment Agreements”. As used herein, “Change of Control” means (a) a sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets; (b) a merger, consolidation or
other capital reorganization or business combination transaction of the Corporation with or into another corporation, limited liability company or other entity (other than a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation); or (c) the consummation
of a transaction, or series of related transactions, in which any person becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of all of the Corporation’s then outstanding voting securities.

Interest of Management in Material Transactions 

Bedrocan leases its operating facility at 16 Upton Road, Toronto, Ontario and 43 Upton Road Toronto, Ontario from Goldman (16 Upton) Limited and Goldman
(Upton) Ltd., respectively. Murray Goldman, a director of the Corporation, is an officer, director and holds a majority interest in Goldman Holdings Ltd., which is an affiliate of Goldman (16 Upton) Limited and Goldman (Upton) Ltd. Furthermore, and
pursuant to its amended lease agreement, there is a $2,000,000 loan to Bedrocan in connection with the construction of the Bedrocan manufacturing facility, which carries an interest rate of 10% per annum and is payable to Bedrocan’s landlord
over a period ending July 1, 2024 (the “Goldman Loan”). The Goldman Loan is payable over the initial term of the amended lease by way of additional monthly rent of approximately $27,100. In connection with the arrangement, the
Corporation entered into an indemnification agreement with Goldman (16 Upton) Limited and Goldman (Upton) Ltd. pursuant to which the Corporation will indemnify Bedrocan’s obligations under leases for its operating facilities. 

On November 1, 2016, the Corporation entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the Goldman Group to expand the Corporation’s cannabis
production capacity and geographic footprint. Murray Goldman, a director of the Corporation is also the founder of The Goldman Group. The Goldman Group will acquire new properties across Canada for the design and/or build of new production
facilities for the Corporation. Subject to the Corporation’s approval, these facilities will be constructed to the Corporation’s proprietary specifications as they are defined by established production methods for each of its subsidiaries
and leased back to the Corporation. The Goldman Group through its affiliates owns approximately 1.2% of the outstanding Common Shares and is already the landlord of Bedrocan’s properties. In connection with the Memorandum of Understanding,
10252832 Canada Inc., a subsidiary of the Corporation, entered into a lease agreement on August 15, 2017, with The Goldman Group, for the building and land at 4103 84 Avenue, Edmonton (the “Edmonton Facility”). The Corporation
has submitted an application to become a Licensed Producer under the ACMPR at the Edmonton Facility.

 Engagement of Greenhill 

The Corporation initially contacted Greenhill & Co. Canada Ltd., a subsidiary of Greenhill & Co., Inc. (collectively,
“Greenhill”) concerning the Investment on about July 28, 2018. By letter agreement dated August 14, 2018 (the “Engagement Agreement”), the Corporation formally retained Greenhill to act as exclusive financial advisor to
the Corporation and its board of directors (the “Board of Directors”) in connection with the Investment and any alternative transaction proposal that may be presented for consideration by the Board of Directors prior to completion of the
Investment or termination of the Subscription Agreement. 
 Pursuant to the Engagement Agreement, you have asked for our written opinion
(the “Opinion”) as to whether, as of the date hereof, the consideration to be received by the Corporation pursuant to the Investment is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Corporation. We have not been requested to opine as to,
and our opinion does not in any manner address, the underlying business decision to proceed with or effect the Investment, or the relative merits of the Investment including the Amended Investor Rights Agreement as compared to other potential
strategies or transactions that may be available to the Corporation. 
 Greenhill will be paid a fee upon delivery of this Opinion, which is
not contingent upon completion of the Investment or any other transaction. The Corporation has also agreed to pay us an additional fee upon completion of the Investment, to reimburse Greenhill for its reasonable expenses and to indemnify Greenhill
and its representatives in respect of certain liabilities that might arise out of our engagement. 
 Greenhill understands that, subject our
providing our separate written consent, this Opinion will be referred to in the Circular and a copy of this Opinion will be attached to the Circular.

all financial and other information, data, advice, opinions and representations obtained by us from publicly available sources, or supplied or otherwise made available to us by the Corporation, including the information and discussions referred to
above under “Scope of Review.” Greenhill did not meet with the Corporation’s auditors or any other third party to verify any such information. 

With respect to the Corporation Forecast, we have assumed that they were reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting the best currently
available estimates and good faith judgments of the management of the Corporation. We express no opinion with respect to the Corporation Forecast or the assumptions upon which they are based, although we note that the preparation of any
future-oriented financial information involves the application of management’s subjective judgements about future conditions and is inherently subject to uncertainty. We have not made any independent evaluation or appraisal of the assets or
liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of the Corporation or the Purchaser, nor have we been furnished with any such evaluation or appraisal. 

We have assumed that the Investment will be consummated in accordance with the terms to be set forth in a final, executed Subscription
Agreement, which we have further assumed will be identical in all material respects to the latest draft thereof that we have reviewed, and without waiver or modification of any terms or conditions the effect of which would be in any way meaningful
to our financial analysis. We have also assumed, without independent verification, that all of the Corporation’s representations and warranties in the Subscription Agreement are true and correct in all material respects. 

We have further assumed that all shareholder, governmental, regulatory, stock exchange and other consents and approvals necessary for the
consummation of the Investment will 

  
 5 

 
be obtained without any effect on the Corporation, the Investment or the contemplated benefits of the Investment that would be in any way meaningful to our financial analysis. 

We are not legal, regulatory, accounting or tax experts and have relied on the assessments made by the Corporation and the Purchaser and their
respective advisors with respect to all such issues. 
 The Corporation has represented to us, in a certificate of two senior officers of
the Corporation dated the date hereof, that to the best of their knowledge, information and belief, after due inquiry and subject to the qualifications therein, among other things, (i) the financial and other information, data, advice,
opinions, representations and other material (financial or otherwise) provided to us by or on behalf of the Corporation, including the written information and discussions concerning the Corporation referred to above under the heading “Scope of

and does not contain a misrepresentation, and (ii) since the date on which the Information was provided to us, there has been no material change, financial or otherwise, in the financial condition, assets, liabilities (contingent or otherwise),
business, operations or prospects of the Corporation or any of its affiliates and there has been no change in any material fact or any material element of any of the Information or any new material fact, any of which is of a nature as to render any
portion of the Information untrue or misleading in any material respect or which could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on our opinion. 

Our Opinion is necessarily based on financial, economic, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to us
as of, the date hereof. It should be understood that subsequent developments may affect this Opinion, and we do not have any obligation to update, revise, or reaffirm this Opinion. 

This Opinion addresses only the fairness to the Corporation, from a financial point of view, of the consideration to be received by the
Corporation pursuant to the Investment. We are not expressing any view or opinion as to any other terms or aspect of the Investment, including the form, terms or conditions of the Subscription Agreement, the Amended Investor Rights Agreement, the
Original Investor Rights Agreement, the Commercialization Agreement or any other agreement or instrument entered into or amended in connection with the Investment. Our Opinion does not address the relative merits of the Investment as compared to
other business strategies or potential transaction opportunities that may be available to the Corporation. We are also not expressing any view or opinion as to the impact of the Investment on the solvency or the viability of the Corporation or its

 Our Opinion has been provided to the Board of Directors for its exclusive use only in
considering the Investment and may not be published, disclosed to or relied upon any other person, or used for any other purpose, without our prior written consent. Our Opinion is not intended to be and does not constitute a recommendation to the
Board of Directors as to whether they should approve the Investment, the Subscription Agreement or the Amended Investor Rights Agreement, nor as a recommendation to any Shareholder as to how to vote at the Special Meeting, nor as an opinion
concerning the trading price or value of any securities of the Corporation following the announcement or completion of the Investment. 

Although we reserve the right to change or withdraw our Opinion if we learn that any of the Information that we relied upon in preparing the
Opinion was inaccurate, incomplete or misleading in any material respect, we disclaim any obligation to change or withdraw the Opinion, to advise any person of any change that may come to our attention or to update the Opinion after the date of this
Opinion. 
 Approaches to Financial Fairness 

In considering the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the consideration to be received by the Corporation pursuant to the
Investment, Greenhill principally considered and relied upon the following business valuation methodologies: (i) an analysis of the financial multiples of selected comparable companies whose securities are publicly traded; (ii) an analysis
of the financial multiples, to the extent publicly available, of selected precedent transactions involving cannabis companies; and (iii) a discounted cash flow analysis of the Corporation. All financial analyses were conducted with information
available as of market close on August 14, 2018. 
 Greenhill believes that our financial analyses must be considered as a whole and
that selecting portions of our analyses or the factors considered by us, without considering all analyses and factors together, could create a misleading view of the process underlying this Opinion. Greenhill notes that the selection of comparable
companies and comparable transactions involves considerable subjectivity, particularly among companies engaged in an emerging industry, operating in a rapidly evolving regulatory environment, having low or negative EBITDA, earnings or free cash
flows and stock price volatility and in the context of a transaction involving the issuance of securities conferring a potential controlling interest on a single investor. 

The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process and is not necessarily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. The
following description is intended to satisfy the guidance contained in Multilateral CSA Staff Notice 61-302 – Staff Review and Commentary on Multilateral Instrument
61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions and is not intended to permit, and should not be construed as permitting, any person other than the Board of Directors to rely upon
our Opinion. 
 Comparable Companies Approach 

  
 7 

 Greenhill compared selected financial data of the Corporation with similar data for selected
publicly traded cannabis companies having enterprise values greater than $1.0 billion, none of which is identical to the Corporation and certain of which may have characteristics that are materially different from the Corporation’s. 

For each of the selected companies, Greenhill considered the multiple of enterprise value (“EV”) (defined as fully-diluted equity
value, less cash and cash equivalents, plus total debt which included mortgages, term loans and finance leases, and minority interests) to estimated revenue and EBITDA (defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) for
fiscal years ending March 31, 2020 and 2021 based on consensus research analyst estimates (“Consensus Estimates”). Multiples for fiscal year ending 2020 and 2021 were used given that the estimates for fiscal year ending 2019 were less
meaningful. The multiples were based on the selected companies’ closing share prices on August 14, 2018 and on other publicly available information. 

The following table represents the results of this analysis: 
  

									
	Company	  	  

EV / Revenue
  
	  	  

EV / EBITDA
  

	  	FY 2020E	  	FY 2021E	  	FY 2020E	  	FY 2021E
	 		 	 	 
	
Aurora Cannabis
	  	6.6x	  	N.A.	  	19.9x	  	10.5x
	 		 	 	 
	
Aphria
	  	N.A.	  	N.A.	  	10.9x	  	N.A.
	 		 	 	 
	
Cronos Group
	  	9.4x	  	3.5x	  	28.6x	  	8.5x
	 		 	 	 
	
Selected Range
	  	6.6 – 9.4x	  	2.5 – 4.5x	  	10.9 – 28.6x	  	8.5 – 10.5x

 While Greenhill did not consider any of the companies reviewed to be directly comparable to the Corporation,
Greenhill believed that they shared certain business, financial, and/or operational characteristics with those of Corporation and we used our professional judgement in selecting the most appropriate trading multiples. 

Precedent Transaction Approach 

Greenhill examined selected precedent public market M&A transactions involving companies in the cannabis industry. While the selected
companies operate in a similar industry as that of the Corporation, we note that none of them is identical to the Corporation. Moreover, and importantly, we note that none of the precedent transactions involved an investment in a cannabis company
pursuant to which the investor obtained a contractual right to acquire a controlling interest (>50%) in the issuer. 
 For each of the
selected transactions, Greenhill considered the ratio of the target company’s EV, implied by the transaction value, to the Consensus Estimates of two-year and three-year forward revenue and EBITDA
following announcement of the transaction, where publicly available. The two-year and three-year forward Consensus Estimates equate to fiscal year ending March 31, 2020 and 2021 respectively for the
Corporation. 

  
 8 

 Based on the results of this analysis and other factors that Greenhill considered
appropriate, Greenhill selected multiple reference ranges based on its professional judgement. Greenhill placed an emphasis on transactions greater than $1.0 billion in value and that were consummated in 2018, to account for recent legal and
regulatory changes in Canada. Our analysis yielded two transactions which, in our judgment, met the aforementioned criteria: 
  

													
	Date	  	Acquirer	  	Target	  	  

Enterprise Value /
  

	  	 FY2

Revenue
	  	 FY3

Revenue
	  	 FY2

EBITDA
	  	
FY3

EBITDA

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	May-18	  	 Aurora

Cannabis
	  	MedReleaf	  	8.5x	  	4.8x	  	23.0x	  	11.0x
	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	Jan-18	  	 Aurora

Cannabis
	  	CanniMed Therapeutics	  	13.9x	  	10.1x	  	27.4x	  	14.1x
	 	 	 	 	 
	
Selected Range
  
	  	 8.5 – 13.9x

 
	  	 4.8 – 10.1x

 
	  	 23.0 – 27.4x

 
	  	 11.0 –
14.1x
  

 Based on Greenhill’s professional judgement, no company or transaction utilized in the precedent
transaction analysis may be considered directly comparable to the Corporation or the Investment. 
 Discounted Cash Flow
(“DCF”) Approach 
 In this approach, unlevered free cash flows are discounted at a specific rate to determine the present
value. The present value of a terminal value, representing the value of unlevered free cash flows beyond the end of the forecast period, is added to arrive at a total aggregate value. Outstanding debt and minority interest is subtracted and
outstanding cash is added to arrive at an equity value. The equity value is then divided by the fully-diluted share count in order to arrive at an implied price per share. 

The DCF approach requires that certain assumptions be made by Greenhill regarding, among other things, terminal values and discount rates. As
part of the DCF approach, we reviewed and relied upon the Corporation Forecast prepared and provided by management, including management’s assumptions therein. 

In performing this analysis, Greenhill used the forecasted unlevered free cash flows (defined as earnings before interest and taxes; less
taxes, capital expenditures and change in net non-cash working capital; plus depreciation and amortization) for the Corporation through the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024, as provided to Greenhill in
the Corporation Forecast. 
 Greenhill calculated a range of terminal values of the Corporation by applying a terminal value multiple range
of 12.0x to 18.0x to the estimated fiscal year 2024 EBITDA from the Corporation Forecast. This terminal value multiple range was selected by Greenhill in its professional judgment with due consideration given to the long-term growth profile of the
Corporation based on Greenhill’s discussions with management. The unlevered free cash flows and the range of terminal values were then discounted to present values as at August 

  
 9 

 
14, 2018 using a range of discount rates from 12.0% to 24.0%. The discount rates were derived by Greenhill based upon an analysis of the weighted average cost of capital of the Corporation. The
present value of the unlevered free cash flows and the range of terminal values were then adjusted for net debt (total debt and minority interests less cash and cash equivalents) and non-controlling interests.

 Other Considerations 

Greenhill assessed the value attributable to Tranche A Warrants using the Black-Scholes formula. In applying the Black-Scholes formula to
value the Tranche A Warrants, we took into account the high level of trading volatility in the historical trading price of the Common Shares. Because the Tranche B Warrants have no fixed exercise price and become exercisable only following the
exercise of all of the Tranche A Warrants, we were unable to determine a specific value for the Tranche B Warrants using the Black-Scholes formula. Consequently, for purposes of our financial analyses, we ascribed a nominal value to each Tranche B
Warrant. 
 As reference points, Greenhill also considered the trading range of the Common Shares since the Corporation’s initial
public offering and original listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange on February 1, 2017, including the all-time high, and the volume-weighted average price for cumulative volume equal to one turn of the
Corporation’s float. 
 Additionally, as reference points, Greenhill considered research analyst target prices for the Common Shares.
Furthermore, Greenhill considered the prices at which the Common Shares were previously issued, either through private placements or public offerings. 

  
 10 

 Conclusion 

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, including the limitations and assumptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that, as of the
date hereof, the consideration to be received by the Corporation pursuant to the Investment is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Corporation. 

Very best regards,
