 Exhibit 10.1 

AGREEMENT AND RELEASE 
 This
Agreement and Release (“Agreement”) is entered into by William E. Peters (“Executive”) and Jabil Inc. (“Jabil”), (collectively, the “Parties”). The Parties desire to enter into an agreement that amicably
resolves their employment relationship, and any disputes that may exist between them. Accordingly, in exchange for good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows: 

 

	1.	 Executive’s Separation and Future Relationship. 

 

	 	A.	 Executive’s last day of employment (“Separation Date”) with Jabil is
December 31, 2018, unless earlier terminated for: 

  

	 	 i.	 “Cause” or “Disability” as those terms are defined in the Jabil Circuit, Inc. 2011 Stock
Award and Incentive Plan; or 

  

	 	ii.	 Executive’s death prior to December 31, 2018. Executive’s entitlement to all payments and
benefits described in paragraph 2(A) shall survive Employee’s death and Jabil will remain liable to pay and/or provide the same to Executive’s designated beneficiary or, if none, to Employee’s estate. 

 

	 	B.	 Not later than the Separation Date, or other date requested by Jabil, Executive will resign in writing from all
corporate officer and director positions associated with his Jabil employment (if any) with immediate effect, and provide a written resignation of Executive’s employment with Jabil effective on the Separation Date. 

 

	 	C.	 Executive will enter into a General Release and Covenant Not to Sue substantially in the form attached in
Attachment A (“Future Agreement”), as follows: Executive will be provided a final, ready-for-signature copy of the Future Agreement closer in time to the
Separation Date; the deadline for signing the Future Agreement will be provided in that future correspondence; Executive will have at least 22 days to review and consider the Future Agreement prior to signature (Executive is not required to wait the
full 22-day period); and the Parties are prohibited from signing the Future Agreement prior to the Separation Date. Once signed, the Future Agreement will be included in, and form a part of, this Agreement.

  

	 	D.	 Until Executive’s Separation Date, Executive is expected to perform normal job duties supporting Jabil
Packaging, or as otherwise assigned or requested, and assist in the transition of duties. Executive must continue to perform work to the best of Executive’s abilities, in good faith, and in compliance with all Jabil policies and the Jabil Code
of Conduct. 

  

	 	E.	 Following the Separation Date, Executive will make himself reasonably available to answer questions regarding
Executive’s job and job duties, including but not limited to testifying, and preparing to testify, as a witness in any proceeding, or otherwise providing information or reasonable assistance to Jabil in connection with any investigation, claim
or suit, and cooperating with Jabil regarding any litigation, claims, or other dispute involving Jabil that relates to matters within Executive’s knowledge or responsibility during Executive’s employment with Jabil. Specifically, Executive
agrees to meet with Jabil’s representatives, its counsel, or other delegates at reasonable times and places, with respect to any items within the scope of this provision, to provide truthful testimony, to provide Jabil with immediate notice of
contact or subpoena by any non-governmental party known by Executive to be adverse to Jabil’s interests, and to not voluntarily assist any such non-governmental
adverse party or their representatives. 

	 	F.	 In addition to the confidentiality provisions described in this Agreement, Executive will continue to be bound
by, and will abide by, the Jabil “Commitment of Confidentiality” that Executive previously signed, and which remains in effect subsequent to the Separation Date. If Executive has not previously signed Jabil’s Commitment of
Confidentiality: Executive must so inform Jabil within seven (7) days; Jabil will provide Executive a copy of the Commitment of Confidentiality for Executive’s signature and agreement; regardless of Executive’s signature on such
document, the terms of such Commitment of Confidentiality will be incorporated as part of this Agreement; and Executive will be bound by, and must abide by, such obligations. 

 

	 	G.	 Executive understands that the federal “insider trading” securities laws continue to apply to
Executive notwithstanding any separation of employment from Jabil; that Jabil’s Insider Trading Policy and federal law prohibit Executive from trading in Jabil securities while in possession of material nonpublic information concerning Jabil;
and the prohibition against such trading continues to apply to Executive after leaving Jabil. Therefore, Executive agrees to abide by the Jabil trading windows even after leaving Jabil, until the insider information Executive possessed, if any,
becomes public. 

  

	 	H.	 Executive agrees that, not later than the Separation Date, Executive will return to Jabil all property in
Executive’s possession, custody or control which was obtained from Jabil or from any of its customers/potential customers, vendors/potential vendors, merger/acquisition candidates, employees, contractors or consultants including but not limited
to the originals and all copies of any documents, files, data or information (returned unaltered and unencrypted), access cards, credit cards, passwords and file-access methods/protocols, computers/laptops/PDAs other than Executive’s current
Company-provided laptop which Executive may retain after all Company data is removed therefrom (including all software and peripherals), cell phones, smart phones, mobile computing devices, in any tangible, electronic or other form
(“Property”). Upon Jabil’s request, Executive must promptly return all Property at any time prior to the Separation Date. 

  

	 	I.	 Jabil will abide by the terms of the award agreements (the “Award Agreements”) for Executive’s
equity and equity-based awards. 

  

	2.	 Jabil’s Obligations to Executive. 

 

	 	A.	 In consideration for Executive’s execution and non-revocation of,
and compliance with, this Agreement, including the future obligation to enter into the Future Agreement described in Paragraph 1(C), Jabil will pay or provide to Executive the following (collectively referred to as “Separation
Compensation”): 

  

	 	  i.	 Executive’s salary through the Separation Date. Executive will receive payment for all earned but unpaid
salary through the Separation Date. Except as stated in this Agreement or as required by law, all other benefits which relate to Executive’s employment with Jabil will cease as of the Separation Date; 

 

	 	 ii.	 Subject to the applicable performance metrics being met, Executive’s annual cash incentive or bonus under
Jabil’s Short-Term Incentive Plan for fiscal year 2018 remains payable at such time and calculated in accordance with the terms of such plan. Executive will not participate in Jabil’s bonus programs for fiscal year 2019 or beyond;

  

	 	iii.	 Subject to and contingent upon Executive’s: (a) continuing in employment until December 31,
2018; (b) signing and not revoking this Agreement; and (c) signing and not revoking the Future 

  
 2 

	 	
Agreement described in Paragraph 1(C), and subject to the provisions of Paragraph 8(J), Jabil will pay to Executive a total gross amount of $1,000,000 (less applicable withholdings),
payable in four installments of $250,000 (gross) each, on or about the following schedule: January 10, 2019; March 14, 2019; July 2, 2019; and October 2, 2019.

  

	 	  iv.	 Subject to the approval of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Jabil, an amount of
time-based Restricted Stock Units, EPS performance-based Restricted Stock Units, and Relative Total Shareholder Return performance-based Restricted Stock Units with an aggregate grant date fair value of approximately $1,000,000 to be divided evenly
between these three types of Restricted Stock Units and to be issued on the date approved by the Compensation Committee. 

  

	 	   v.	 The balance (if any) in Jabil’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan as of the Separation Date, according to such
plan’s terms and conditions; 

  

	 	  vi.	 The balance (if any) in Jabil’s Non-Qualified Deferred
Compensation Plan, according to such plan’s terms and conditions; 

  

	 	 vii.	 Continued eligibility to vest in previously granted, but unvested, stock grants subject to the governing terms
and conditions of such applicable stock plans and at normal vesting times; and 

  

	 	viii.	 After the Separation Date, Executive may continue applicable health benefit coverage pursuant to the
Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA). Jabil or its delegate will provide Executive information regarding the election of COBRA at Executive’s home address. If Executive makes a timely election under COBRA to continue the
medical, vision and/or dental benefits that were provided by Jabil immediately prior to the Separation Date, Jabil will subsidize Executive’s associated premiums for the first 18 months of such coverage, or until Executive becomes covered by
other health coverage, whichever is sooner. The subsidy is limited to Jabil’s payment of the employer-portion of the premiums it paid as part of Executive’s employment immediately prior to the Separation Date (Executive will remain
responsible to pay that portion of the premium Executive normally paid for such benefits). 

  

	 	B.	 Executive understands and agrees that the Separation Compensation described in Paragraph 2(A) is the sole
financial obligation of Jabil to Executive under this Agreement arising from Executive’s employment by Jabil or the end of that employment. 

  

	 	C.	 After the Separation Date, and except as specifically described in this Agreement, Executive is not entitled to
any additional payments or benefits under any benefit plan, bonus or incentive program established by Jabil, including without limitation, any health, medical, dental or vision plan, and any bonus or compensation under Jabil’s Short-Term
Incentive Plan, Long-Term Incentive Equity Awards plan, or other bonus plan or award. Any vested benefit held by Executive in Jabil’s 401k plan or other plans (if any), will be distributed in accordance with Executive’s direction and the
terms of the appropriate plan and applicable law. Jabil will separately provide Executive at Executive’s home address information necessary and as required by law to facilitate the distribution or rollover of Executives retirement benefits.
Executive may also to leave his existing account balance (if any) in Jabil’s 401(k) plan after the Separation Date. However, Jabil will not make any further contribution to Executive’s 401(k) account after the Separation Date and Executive
remains responsible for repayment of any loans from Executive’s 401(k) account (if any); and 

  

	 	D.	 The payment of any monies or benefits pursuant to this Agreement is subject to deductions and withholdings
required by law. Executive is solely responsible for, and will pay, all taxes, contributions or other payments to any taxing authorities which arise from Executive’s receipt of monies or benefits under this Agreement.

	3.	 General Release. 

 

	 	A.	 Executive, on Executive’s own behalf and on behalf of any other person entitled to make a claim on
Executive’s behalf or through Executive, freely, finally and forever releases, waives, and discharges Jabil (as defined below) from any and all claims, demands, controversies, allegations, matters, disputes, causes of action, losses,

This paragraph operates as a general release and covenant not to sue to the maximum extent permitted by law. 

 

	 	B.	 Notwithstanding the above, the Released Claims exclude, and Executive does not waive, release or discharge:

  

	 	i.	 Any right to initiate, or participate in, an administrative charge or procedure with any governmental agency,
including without limitation the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, the Occupational Safety and Health 

  
 4 

	 	
Administration, the Securities and Exchange Commission, or any other federal, state or local agency or commission. However, by signing this Agreement, Executive waives any right to individual
relief or monetary recovery based on claims asserted in such a charge or complaint, except where such a waiver is prohibited by law; 

  

	 	 ii.	 Any claims which by law may not be released, including claims challenging the validity of this Agreement under

	 	  i.	 Executive has read and understands the terms of this Agreement; 

 

	 	 ii.	 Jabil has advised Executive to consult with any attorney of Executive’s choice before signing this

	 	iii.	 Executive has been given at least 21 days to consider the terms of this Agreement and consult with attorney of

	 	iv.	 Executive is providing this release in exchange for consideration to which the Executive is not otherwise
entitled; 

  

	 	 v.	 Executive may revoke that portion of this Agreement that waives and releases legal claims under the ADEA and/or

seventh day after Executive has signed the Agreement. If Executive timely revokes the waiver and release of ADEA and OWBPA claims: 

  
 5 

	 	1.	 All other items contained in this Section 3 remain effective (all other Released Claims except those
relating to the ADEA or the OWBPA will continue to be waived and released); and 

  

	 	2.	 Executive will only be entitled to receive the benefits described in clauses i, ii, iv, and v of Paragraph 2(A)

	 	vi.	 Notwithstanding any other provisions, this Agreement does not waive or release any rights or claims that
Executive may have under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act or Older Worker Benefits Protection Act that arise after the execution of this Agreement. 

  

	 	E.	 Executive may later discover facts different from or in addition to those now known or believed to be true
regarding the matters released or described in this Agreement, and even so, Executive agrees that the releases and agreements in this Agreement remain effective in all respects notwithstanding any later discovery or different or additional facts.

  

	4.	 No Pending Claims.  

 

	 	A.	 Executive represents that he has not suffered any on-the-job injury for which he has not already filed a claim, and that he has no other pending claims or lawsuits filed against Jabil. If such claims are pending, Executive agrees to take all necessary
measures to permanently withdraw and/or end such claims. Executive acknowledges and agrees that he has been paid all wages earned and compensation owed through the date of this Agreement. 

 

	5.	 Executive’s Restrictive Covenants. 

 

	 	A.	 Jabil is the owner and possessor of numerous trade secrets and highly-sensitive business information about its
finances, operations, business development / acquisition / divestiture / merger methods and strategies, customers (and potential customers), vendors (and potential vendors), employees, contractors and consultants and other matters that could be
valuable to Jabil’s competitors. Executive is in possession of such sensitive information acquired during his Jabil employment and, further, he has developed valuable contacts and relationships with Jabil customers (and potential customers),
vendors (and potential vendors), acquisition targets and representatives, employees, contractors and consultants. Therefore, commencing on the Separation Date and continuing until December 31, 2019, Executive will not,
without the prior written consent of Jabil: 

  

	 	i.	 Be employed by, be engaged as a consultant or contractor to or agent for, sit on the board of directors of, or
otherwise in any capacity provide services, information or advice to: (a) Benchmark Electronics, Inc.; Celestica, Inc.; Flextronics International Ltd.; Foxconn/Hon Hai Precision Industry Company, Ltd.; Plexus Corp., Sanmina-SCI, Wistron Corporation, Catcher Technology Co., Ltd., Gerresheimer AG, Quanta Computer, Inc., Zeniya Aluminum Engineering, Ltd., HE Chang Precision Metal (Suzhou) Co., Ltd., Jie Shun Electronics, Ltd.,
Kunshan Hanwei Automation Equipment Co., Ltd., Kunshan Jinqunli Precision Components Co., Ltd., Langfang Company, Ltd., Luen Fung / Mega Precision Technology Limited; Suzhou HiSen Precision Machinery, Suzhou Jieshun Hardware Co., Ltd., Suzhou Kang
Bao Technology Co., Ltd., XJS Electronics Manufacturing Company Ltd., Zechang Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd., BYD Company, Ltd., Hi-P (Shanghai) Metal Industries Co., Ltd.; and Pegatron Corporation, or any of
their current or future parents, subsidiaries, divisions, or direct or indirect affiliates (“affiliates” to include any entity in which the named entity has or from time to time may have a majority equity interest), or (b) any
company, business or enterprise, 

  
 6 

	 	
or any of their current or future parents, subsidiaries, divisions, or direct or indirect affiliates (“affiliates” to include any entity in which the named entity has or from time to
time may have a majority equity interest), including self-employment, that competes with Jabil’s global business operations now or which may become part of Jabil prior to December 31, 2019. Executive agrees that the geographic scope, range
of business operations, and limitation in time contained in these restrictive covenants are reasonable given Executive’s considerable involvement and tenure in a wide variety of Jabil’s operations at senior executive levels, including
exposure to, and development of, important and confidential business strategies and plans. 

  

	 	 ii.	 Persuade or attempt to persuade any person or entity that has a business relationship with Jabil to not do
business with or cease doing business with Jabil, to reduce the amount of business historically done with Jabil or to otherwise alter the actual business relationship with Jabil; or 

 

	 	iii.	 Solicit any Jabil employee to end or modify his/her relationship with Jabil for employment outside of Jabil, or
otherwise solicit or induce any person known to be seeking or being recruited to be a Jabil employee to not work for Jabil. 

  

	 	B.	 The restrictive covenants contained in the preceding Paragraph 5(A) must be construed as agreements and as
independent covenants. The existence of any cause of action by Executive against Jabil does not constitute a defense to Jabil’s enforcement of the restrictive covenants. 

 

	 	C.	 If any portion of this Section 5 is held to be unreasonable, arbitrary, or against public policy by any
court or tribunal, or if the applicable law on which such covenant is founded is changed in any manner as to limit the enforceability of this paragraph, the paragraph will be enforced against Executive for a shorter period of time or in a smaller
geographic area or otherwise as is determined by the tribunal to be reasonable, non-arbitrary and not against public policy. 

 

	 	D.	 Except as otherwise required by law, Executive will forfeit any amount described in clause (iii) of
paragraph 2(A) above in excess of $10,000 if Executive breaches any of the restrictive covenants contained in paragraph 5(A), and Executive must repay such forfeited amounts to Jabil within 30 days of the breach. If Jabil makes application to a
court of competent jurisdiction for injunctive relief to enforce this paragraph, then and in that event the period of time for the application of the restrictive covenant will be tolled for a period commencing with Executive’s act which creates
the claim for injunctive relief and terminating with the date of final adjudication of the petition for injunctive relief, if granted. 

  

	 	E.	 Executive must notify any future employers of Executive’s confidentiality and non-solicitation obligations to Jabil under this Agreement. Jabil is permitted to notify any of Executive’s future employers of Executive’s non-competition,
confidentiality, non-solicitation, and other restrictive covenant obligations to Jabil under this Agreement. 

  

	 	F.	 With the exception of Paragraph 1(F), nothing in this Agreement is intended to modify or amend the Commitment
of Confidentiality or any non-disclosure agreement previously signed by Executive, which remains in full force and effect. 

 

	6.	 Executive’s Confidentiality Covenants. 

 

	 	A.	 Unless compelled by subpoena, Executive will not at any time use or talk about, write about, disclose in any
manner or publicize: 

  
 7 

	 	 i.	 Jabil’s business, operations or employment data, policies or practices; or 

 

	 	ii.	 The proprietary or trade secret or confidential information of Jabil (including without limitation merger and
acquisition strategies, methods, and plans), or of its customers, vendors, merger/acquisition candidates, employees, contractors or consultants. 

Further, Executive will not make, or assist or encourage others to make, negative statements or comments about, or engage in any conduct that
disparages, Jabil or its current or former officers or directors, or employees, its business or performance, or about Executive’s employment by or end of employment with Jabil, in any form or manner, including without limitation, orally, in
writing, or through emails, blogs, social media, or other electronic or web-based media, etc. At Executive’s request, Jabil will provide a letter of reference. 

 

	 	B.	 If Executive is subpoenaed or is required to testify about Jabil or his employment by Jabil, he agrees to
contact Jabil’s General Counsel (currently, Bobby Katz) about the subpoena/demand within 72 hours of receiving it or before the date of the proposed testimony, whichever is earlier. Further, Executive agrees to meet and cooperate with
Jabil’s attorneys in preparation for such testimony (Executive is expected at all times to testify truthfully). If Executive is subpoenaed or required to testify, Jabil will provide counsel for Executive, subject to Executive’s approval of
said counsel, and if such cooperation occurs after the Separation Date, all expenses relating thereto including fees of $150.00 per hour. 

  

	 	C.	 Executive agrees that, if he receives an inquiry from any representative of the media about Jabil, his
employment by Jabil or the end of Jabil employment, Executive will not respond or will respond with “no comment,” and he will also inform Jabil’s General Counsel (currently, Bobby Katz) about the inquiry within 72 hours.

  

	 	D.	 Executive’s obligations under this paragraph are in addition to and not in lieu of his obligations under
any Jabil “Non-Disclosure Agreement” and/or “Commitment of Confidentiality,” or other confidentiality agreement or requirement. 

 

	 	E.	 It is not a violation of this Agreement to disclose trade secrets on a confidential basis pursuant to the
Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 (18 U.S.C. 1833(b)). Accordingly, Executive will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made in confidence either directly or
indirectly to a federal, state, or local government official or to an attorney solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law. Executive will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state
trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret made in a complaint, or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. If Executive files a lawsuit or other action alleging retaliation by Jabil for
reporting a suspected violation of law, Executive may disclose the trade secret to his attorney and use the trade secret in the court proceeding or other action, if Executive files any document containing the trade secret under seal and does not
disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order. This paragraph will govern to the extent it may conflict with any other provision of this Agreement or under any Jabil “Non-Disclosure
Agreement” and/or “Commitment of Confidentiality.” 

  

	7.	 Conditions to Jabil’s Obligations. 

 

	 	A.	 Jabil’s execution of this Agreement, and its performance of its obligations under this Agreement, are
specifically conditioned on Executive’s: 

  
 8 

	 	  i.	 Execution and delivery to Jabil of this Agreement and its attachments; 

 

	 	 ii.	 Satisfactory performance of assigned duties until the Separation Date. “Satisfactory performance”
means performance such that Executive would not be terminated by Jabil for “Cause” (as such term is defined in the Jabil Circuit Inc. 2011 Stock Award and Incentive Plan); and 

 

	 	iii.	 Compliance with the terms of this Agreement, any “Non-Disclosure
Agreement,” “Commitment of Confidentiality,” and/or any other obligation to Jabil to keep confidential information confidential 

If Executive asserts a claim against Jabil for breach of this Agreement and after an initial judgment on the merits, Executive has not
prevailed on any material claim with respect to such dispute, Jabil will be relieved of its obligations to pay any unpaid benefits under Paragraph 2(A)(iii), (iv), (vii) or (viii), and to the extent that any such amounts have previously been paid to
Executive, Executive must repay such amounts to Jabil within 30 days of such initial judgment. 
  

	8.	 Miscellaneous. 

 

	 	A.	 Executive acknowledges and agrees that Executive’s employment with Jabil has been at times prior to the
Agreement, and will continue through the Separation Date, on an at-will basis. 

  

	 	B.	 Executive agrees that Executive has had a full and fair opportunity to review this Agreement and signs this
Agreement knowingly, voluntarily and without duress or coercion. Further, in executing this Agreement, Executive agrees that Executive has not relied on any representation or statement not set forth in this Agreement and its attachments.

  

	 	C.	 This Agreement must be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of the United States and the State
of Florida, other than its conflicts of laws provisions. Any litigation between the parties must be brought in a court having jurisdiction in Pinellas County, Florida, unless it is necessary for Jabil to institute suit in another jurisdiction to
obtain injunctive relief to enforce the terms of this Agreement. 

  

	 	D.	 This Agreement, the Award Agreements, the Future Agreement referenced in Paragraph 1(C) and the Jabil
“Commitment of Confidentiality” referenced in Paragraph 1(F) represent the sole and entire agreement between Executive and Jabil and supersede any and all prior agreements, negotiations and discussions between them with respect to
Executive’s employment or the end of employment. 

  

	 	E.	 If Jabil or Executive initiate proceedings for breach of this Agreement, the prevailing party is entitled to
recover its or his attorneys’ fees and costs, including such fees and costs on any enforcement or appeal proceedings irrespective of which party initiates the appeal. 

 

	 	F.	 If one or more paragraph(s) of this Agreement are ruled invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or
unenforceability does not affect any other provision of this Agreement, which remains in full force and effect. 

  

	 	G.	 This Agreement may not be modified orally but only by writing signed by both Executive and Jabil.

  
 9 

	 	H.	 This Agreement inures to the benefit of and is binding upon Jabil, its successors and assigns. Executive’s
obligations and duties hereunder are personal and not assignable, but Jabil has the right to assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any Jabil affiliate or successor of Jabil or to any purchaser(s) of their assets.

  

	 	I.	 This Agreement and the monies and benefits provided are intended to qualify for an exemption from
Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), where applicable, provided, however, that if this Agreement and the monies and benefits provided are not so exempt, they are intended to comply with Code
Section 409A to the extent applicable. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement must be interpreted and construed consistent with this intent, provided that Jabil does not assume any resulting increased
economic burden. Although Jabil intends to administer this Agreement so that it will comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A, Jabil does not represent or warrant that this Agreement will comply with Code Section 409A or any other
provision of federal, state, or local law. Neither Jabil nor its directors, officers, employees or advisers is liable to Executive (or any other individual claiming a benefit through Executive) for any tax, interest, or penalties Executive may owe
as a result of monies or benefits paid under this Agreement, and Jabil has no obligation to indemnify or otherwise protect Executive from the obligation to pay any taxes pursuant to Code Section 409A. With regard to any provision in this
Agreement that provides for reimbursement of costs and expenses or in-kind benefits, except as permitted by Code Section 409A, (i) the right to payment or reimbursement or in-kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for any other benefit, (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided,
during any taxable year of Executive does not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable year, provided that the foregoing clause (ii) is not
violated by any lifetime and other annual limits provided under Jabil’s group medical plans and (iii) such payments will be made on or before the last day of Executive’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense was
incurred. Each separately identified amount and each installment payment to which Executive is entitled is a separate payment for purposes of Code Section 409A. No compensation or benefit that is subject to the requirements of Code
Section 409A and that is payable upon Executive’s termination of employment will be paid unless Executive’s termination of employment constitutes a “separation from service” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h), and references in this Agreement to “termination”, “termination of employment” or like terms mean a “separation from service.” If Executive is deemed at the
time of Executive’s separation from service to be a “specified employee” for purposes of Code Section 409(A)(a)(2)(B)(i), to the extent delayed commencement of any portion of the compensation or benefits to which Executive is
entitled under this Agreement is required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) (any such delayed commencement, a “Payment Delay”), such compensation or benefits will be provided to Executive
on the earlier to occur of (1) the date that is six months and one day from the date of Executive’s “separation from service” with Jabil or (2) Executive’s death. Upon the earlier of such dates, all payments and
benefits deferred pursuant to the Payment Delay will be paid in a lump sum to Executive, and any remaining compensation and benefits due under this Agreement will be paid or provided as otherwise set forth herein. The determination of whether
Executive is a “specified employee” for purposes of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) as of the time of Executive’s separation from service is made by Jabil in accordance with the terms of Code Section 409A.

	 	J.	 Executive has at least 22 days to review and consider the terms of this Agreement prior to signing. Executive
is not required to wait the entire 22-day period to sign the Agreement, and may choose to sign it sooner on an entirely voluntary basis.

 GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE BUSINESS 

Three-Year History 
 Introduction 

Predecessor THCX was formed in August 2013 with the strategic purpose of seeking a licence under the regulatory regime for medical cannabis introduced by
Health Canada in 2013, the Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations (the “MMPR”), and developing a premium brand and offering a suite of products and services for this new market. In November 2014, Predecessor THCX acquired
167 Canada, which had received a licence under the MMPR in March 2014 to produce, possess and destroy medical cannabis. 
 Through 167 Canada as its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Predecessor THCX commenced commercial production and sales of legal medical cannabis in Canada. Predecessor THCX had its first harvest on October 8, 2014. 

Between March 2014 and November 2016, Predecessor THCX completed various private placement financings for gross proceeds of approximately $35 million to
funds its operations and investigated options for going public and raising additional capital to grow its business. 
 Reverse Takeover and Qualifying
Transaction 
 On November 16, 2016, Predecessor THCX entered into an agreement with BFK to proceed with the Qualifying Transaction. 

Predecessor THCX and BFK subsequently completed the Qualifying Transaction on March 15, 2017 to form the Company. Under the Qualifying Transaction, BFK
acquired all the issued and outstanding common shares in the capital of Predecessor THCX by way of a three-cornered amalgamation, pursuant to which a wholly-owned subsidiary of BFK amalgamated with Predecessor THCX and each Predecessor THCX
shareholder received six (6) post-Consolidation Common Shares in the capital of BFK for each THCX common share held. In addition, as part of the Qualifying Transaction, BFK completed the Consolidation and changed its name from “BFK Capital
Corp.” to “The Hydropothecary Corporation”, and the directors and management of Predecessor THCX became the directors and management of the Company. 

In connection with the Qualifying Transaction, Predecessor THCX completed both a brokered and a non-brokered private
placement of common shares for gross proceeds of $17.5 million. 
 Under the Qualifying Transaction, the Company issued a total of 68,428,824 Common
Shares to the holders of shares of Predecessor THCX. Following closing of the Qualifying Transaction, the Company had a total of 70,266,594 Common Shares outstanding. In addition, 22,532,979 Common Shares of the Company were reserved for issuance
upon the conversion or exercise of secured convertible debentures, unsecured convertible debentures, warrants and options issued to the holders of Predecessor THCX secured convertible debentures, unsecured convertible debentures, warrants and
options. 
 With the completion of the Qualifying Transaction, the Company met the TSXV listing requirements for a Tier 1 issuer and the Common Shares
commenced trading on the TSXV under the symbol “THCX” on March 21, 2017. 
 Licences 

The Company is licensed to produce and sell cannabis and cannabis products as a licensed producer under the provisions of the ACMPR. Predecessor THCX was
issued its initial licence under the MMPR to cultivate medical cannabis through 167 Canada in March 2014 and its licence was amended in May 2015 to permit it to sell medical 

  
 6 

 cannabis. The MMPR were replaced by the ACMPR in August 2016. HEXO’s current licence under the ACMPR
was most recently renewed on June 21, 2017 and will be up for renewal on October 15, 2019. The Company’s licence is issued by Health Canada to HEXO (formerly Hydropothecaire/Hydropothecary), the operating name of the business run by
HEXO Operations Inc. 
 The Company’s licence designates it as a licensed producer and permits the production, sale, possession, shipping,
transportation, delivery and destruction of fresh cannabis, dried cannabis, cannabis plants, cannabis seeds, cannabis oil and cannabis resin, all as set out therein, delivered pursuant to the ACMPR and CDSA. The licence covers Buildings 1, 2, 3, 4,
5, 6, 7 and 8 at the Company’s facilities as described below and authorizes unlimited production of cannabis. 
 HEXO’s licence has a current term
ending on October 15, 2019. At the end of each term of the licence, HEXO must submit an application for renewal to Health Canada containing information prescribed by the ACMPR. HEXO is not currently aware of any reason why it would not be able
to receive a renewal of its licence in October 2019. 
 Private Placement and Conversion of Unsecured 8% Convertible Debentures 

On July 18, 2017, the Company closed a bought deal private placement of unsecured convertible debenture units for aggregate gross proceeds of
$25.1 million (the “July 2017 Private Placement”). Under the placement, the Company issued a total of $25.1 million of 8.0% senior unsecured convertible debentures (the “July 2017 Debentures”) and
7,856,300 common share purchase warrants (the “July 2017 Warrants”). 
 Effective December 27, 2017, the Company forced the

Molson Coors Canada Joint Venture – Truss 
 On
August 1, 2018, HEXO and Molson Coors Canada, the Canadian business unit of Molson Coors Brewing Company (NYSE: TAP; TSX: TPX), entered into an agreement to form a joint venture to pursue opportunities to develop
non-alcoholic, cannabis-infused beverages for the Canadian market following adult-use legalization. The joint venture transaction was subsequently completed on
October 5, 2018. 
 Under the joint venture, HEXO and Molson Coors Canada have formed a standalone company named Truss Limited Partnership with its own
board of directors and an independent management team led by former Molson Coors executive, Brett Vye, in the role of Chief Executive Officer. The Company holds a 42.5% interest in the company, while Molson Coors Canada holds the remaining 57.5%
interest. The five-member board of directors for the company is comprised of Frederic Landtmeters, President and CEO of Molson Coors Canada, Paul Holden, VP of Legal and Industry Affairs of Molson Coors Canada, Scott Cooper, VP, Global Innovation of
Molson Coors (and Chairman of the Truss board), Sebastien St-Louis, Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of HEXO, and Ed Chaplin, Chief Financial Officer of HEXO.

 Subsequent Developments 

Expansion into Greece 
 On September 26, 2018,
HEXO announced plans to establish a Eurozone processing, production and distribution centre in Greece. The partnership with Greek company Qannabos (“QNBS”) will catalyze a vertically integrated cannabis enterprise to capitalize on
the current medical markets. HEXO’s plan to establish operations in Greece marks the Company’s first foray into the European cannabis market. The move will provide the Company with a presence in Europe with the expectation of supplying a
full suite of brands in France, the United Kingdom, and other European markets once regulations permit. The agreement between HEXO and QNBS plans for the development of 350,000 sq. ft. of licensed infrastructure that will be used for manufacturing,
processing and distribution of medical cannabis products, powered by HEXO, destined for the European market. 
 Belleville Facility 

On September 10, 2018, HEXO announced the acquisition of an interest in a 2,004,000 sq. ft. facility in Belleville, Ontario. This is the first facility of
the Company to be established outside of Québec, further delivering on its national expansion strategy and providing capacity for the manufacturing of advanced cannabis products, including cosmetics, vapes,
non-alcoholic beverages and other edibles. The centralized location, conveniently located along primary shipping routes in Ontario, presents the opportunity to process and distribute products and to fulfil
commitments across Canada. The space also supports the Company’s hub and spoke model. Its scalability, flexibility and location are ideal to deliver on anticipated future joint ventures with Fortune 500 companies for cosmetics, edibles, vapes,
and more, positioning it to become a centre of excellence for all of HEXO’s joint ventures. HEXO’s expansion will also lead to the creation of jobs and a rejuvenated employment sector for the area. 

The building, previously used as a Sears distribution centre, is owned by Belleville Complex Inc. (“Belleville Complex”), which is owned by
Olegna Holdings Inc. In addition to initially leasing approximately 500,000 sq. ft. of space in the building under a long-term lease, HEXO plans to acquire a 25% interest in Belleville Complex from Olegna Holdings Inc. In addition to its initial
lease of space, it is expected that HEXO will have rights of first offer and first refusal to lease the remaining space in the building. As part of the transaction, HEXO has loaned $20,000,000 to Belleville Complex to acquire the building. The loan
is due within 120 days from September 7, 2018, and, as of October 7, 2018, bears interest at an annual rate of 4%, payable monthly. The loan is secured by a first mortgage over the building. The transaction is scheduled to close on or
about October 26, 2018. 
 DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS 

Company Overview 
 The Company was founded in 2013
for the purpose of producing medical cannabis under Health Canada’s Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations (“MMPR”) and were the first licensed producer in Quebec and are the only publicly traded cannabis company
headquartered in the province. 
 The MMPR was replaced by the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (“ACMPR”) in August
2016. Under the Company’s current ACMPR license, it is authorized to produce and sell cannabis to medical patients and adult recreational users in dried and oil formats. The license has a term ending on October 15, 2019, and the Company is
not currently aware of any circumstances that would impede renewal. 
 Ultimately, the Company is a vertically integrated consumer packaged goods company in
the medical and emerging legal adult-use cannabis market. Its primary business is to cultivate, process, package and distribute cannabis through our facilities in Gatineau, Quebec, in order to serve the
medical and adult-use cannabis markets across Canada and internationally where regulations allow. The Company has expanded operations to include a corporate office location in Gatineau, Quebec, additional
advanced processing and manufacturing space in Belleville, Ontario, and a distribution centre located in Montreal, Quebec. 
 To date, we have sold over
1 million grams of medical cannabis to thousands of patients across Canada who count on us for safe, high-quality products. We have developed an extensive and award-winning product range, as well as valuable experience and knowledge, while
serving these patients. This positions us well to serve the legal adult-use market. We currently possess the single largest and longest national forward supply amount among all licensed producers, based upon
the announced provincial supply agreements. In Quebec alone, we will supply 20,000 kg in the first year of legalized adult-use cannabis and up to approximately 200,000 kg over the first five years of legalized
adult-use cannabis.

 Molson Coors Canada Joint Venture 

The Company has established a joint venture with Molson Coors Canada in order to pursue opportunities in the
non-alcoholic, cannabis infused beverages Canadian market. The Company will hold a 42.5% interest in the joint venture with the remaining balance allocated to Molson Coors Canada. The newly formed company will
combine the proven beverage experience of Canada’s leading brewer with the quality cannabis and innovative products HEXO has become known for in the market. The joint venture is on track to be ready to supply Canada with its cannabis beverages
upon the edibles and other smokeless cannabis products legalization date of October 17, 2019. 
 HEXO continues to seek opportunities in developing
similar joint ventures in other cannabis infused product sectors in order to meet the edible markets preferred products demand expected to be begin October 17, 2019. 

International Expansion into Greece 
 The Company
announced the partnership with the Greek company Qannabos (“QNBS”). Together a joint venture will be created supported by the development of 350,000 sq. ft. of licensed infrastructure, which will be used for the manufacturing, processing
and distribution of medical cannabis. This expansion is the Company’s first international embarkment and will allow HEXO to serve the medical markets of the United Kingdom, France and other European jurisdictions, where regulations permit, with
our full suite of products. 
 The Company’s Licences 

The Company is licensed to produce and sell cannabis as a licensed producer under the provisions of the ACMPR. The Company’s licence designates it as a
licensed producer and permits the production, sale, possession, shipping, transportation, delivery and destruction of fresh cannabis, dried cannabis, cannabis plants, cannabis seeds, cannabis oil and cannabis resin, all as set out therein, delivered
pursuant to the ACMPR and CDSA. The licence covers Buildings 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, and 8 at the Company’s facilities as described below and authorizes unlimited production of cannabis. 

At the end of each term of the licence, HEXO must submit an application for renewal to Health Canada containing information prescribed by the ACMPR. HEXO is
not currently aware of any reason why it would not be able to receive a renewal of its licence in October 2019. 
 The Company’s Facilities

 HEXO’s facilities are located at 120 Chemin de la Rive, Gatineau, Québec (the “Gatineau Facility”). Predecessor THCX
acquired the 65-acre Gatineau Facility when it purchased 167 Canada in November 2014. The Gatineau Facility currently consists of an approximately 7,000 square foot
4-season greenhouse (“Building 2”), a storage, processing and administration building (“Building 1”), a 35,000 square foot glass roof greenhouse (“Building
5”), two stand-alone laboratories each approximately 240 square feet in size (“Buildings 3 and 4”), a 250,000 square foot glass roof greenhouse and processing bay (“Building 6”) a modular building housing
final packaging (“Building 7”), a second modular building for customer service and registration (“Building 8”) and a warehouse (“Warehouse”). As of the date of this Prospectus, Buildings 1,
2, 3, 5, 6 and 8 are covered by the Company’s licence under the ACMPR. HEXO is in the process of expanding to add an additional 1,000,000 square feet of growing, production and infrastructure space (the “Building 9”) which is
on track to be completed by December 2018. 
 As of July 31, 2018, there exists 310,000 sq. ft. of licensed facilities and an expected 1,310,000 sq.
ft. after completion of the expansion. The Company’s current production capacity is now capable of yielding 25,000 kg of quality dried cannabis and dried cannabis equivalent products and is expected to rise to 108,000 kg annually with the
additional of B9 expected in December 2018. The current annual production estimate of 25,000 kg and future annual production estimate of 108,000 kg are based upon the estimated square footage of cultivation space and the ratio of dried cannabis
cultivated per plant, which is derived from the historical output of the existing facilities and estimates of future production capabilities. 

  
 10 

 The Company recently leased a 2 million sq. ft. facility in Belleville, Ontario, through a joint
venture for the purposes of manufacturing value-added cannabis products and increasing capacity for distribution and storage. The centralized location and the Company’s first facility outside of Quebec is ideally situated along primary shipping
routes to distribute our products and fulfill commitments across Canada. This facility provides a regulatory key hole to our partners and future partners so that they may enter the cannabis industry with HEXO Corp. and have immediate access to
licensed infrastructure. This acquisition further delivers on our expansion strategy and ensures necessary capacity for the manufacture of advanced cannabis products, including cosmetics, vapes, non-alcoholic
beverages and other edibles. 
 On September 19, 2018, the Company also bolstered its distribution capacity with the announcement of the newly
established distribution and storage centre formed with Metro Supply Chain Inc. This 58,000 sq. ft. facility in Montreal, Quebec, was strategically acquired for logistical purposes. Through it, we will supply cannabis for all direct-to-customer sales placed in Quebec through the SQDC’s online store. Additionally, through the distribution center we will house, supply and distribute direct-to-consumers the cannabis products of all licensed producers who have contracts with the SQDC. 

The Gatineau Facility is owned by 898 Canada and is leased from 898 Canada by HOI for a term of 20 years having an expiration date of October 27, 2034,
with two additional optional renewal periods of 5 years each, during which renewal terms the rent will be indexed to increases in the cost of living in Canada. Monthly base rent is $10.00. HEXO is responsible for additional rent, including costs
related to utility usage, property maintenance, and certain taxes in accordance with the Gatineau Facility lease. As of the date hereof, the lease for the Gatineau Facility is in good standing. 

HOI owns all of the outstanding preferred shares of 898 Canada but the one issued and outstanding common share of 898 Canada is owned by Michael Munzar and
Vincent Chiara, directors of the Company and residents of Québec. The Gatineau Facility is considered farmland and in Québec, non-residents must obtain authorization from the Commission de
protection du territoire agricole du Québec to acquire more than 4 hectares (or about 10 acres) of farm land. In addition to the lease for the Gatineau Facility, HOI has an irrevocable and unconditional agreement with Dr. Munzar and
Mr. Chiara for the purchase of the issued and outstanding common share of 898 Canada upon demand and following receipt of approval from the Commission de protection du territoire agricole du Québec for HOI to own the facility. HEXO has
applied for this approval. 
 The Company has leased commercial office space at 490 Boulevard Saint-Joseph, Gatineau, QC which houses the finance, HR,
administrative, government relations, IT and executive teams of the Company. 
 The Company’s Product Offerings 

HEXO offers dried cannabis and cannabis-derived products under three product types: dried cannabis, cannabis oils and decarb. 

Dried Cannabis – Premium and mid-range products offered under the Time of Day and H2 lines. Both lines
offer a relatively wide spectrum of CBD and THC levels, through sativa, hybrid and indica plant strains. HEXO offers 15 dried marijuana products priced between $3 and $15 a gram. Each product is carefully selected to treat symptoms universally
reported by patients and meet the needs of adult-use customers.  

Oil-Based Products – Elixir, a cannabis oil sublingual mist product line, includes both a high THC and
high CBD content, and is Canada’s only peppermint-based cannabis oil product. Fleur de Lune, is one of Canada’s first cannabis-based THC intimate oils. Both products provide alternative, smokeless methods to consume cannabis. HEXO offers
three oil-based products priced between $69 and $89 per bottle, as well as an intimate-use oil product priced $59 per 60 ml spray bottle. 

Decarb – Decarb is an activated fine-milled cannabis powder product offered in a range of high- to low-
CBD and THC content. Decarb is offered in six products, priced between $3 and $15 a gram. 

  
 11 

 Decarb was voted “Top New Product’’ at the 2017 Canadian Cannabis Awards; Elixir received
third place in the same category, as well as second place in “Top High THC Oil”. We also received the top honours in the packaging category. 

Brand 
 

     HEXO – Adult-Use 
 During this past quarter, the
Company announced HEXO as the adult-use brand name that will serve the legalized Canadian adult-use market. The goal of HEXO is to continue to offer a premium house of
brands, signaling innovation, quality and consistency of experience and become a top two Canadian market share producer and 2% international market share producer. As a brand, HEXO shares the same focus on award-winning product innovation and
high-quality cannabis that the market has come to expect from its medical sister brand, Hydropothecary. 
 

      Hydropothecary – Medical 
 Hydropothecary sells premium as well as mid-market medical cannabis, offering over 24 products in dried, decarb and oil formats. Hydropothecary has been serving the medical market with its award-winning products for over three years, and will continue to
serve our medical patients with the upmost levels of quality and customer service. 
 Adult-Use Market

 On June 12, 2018 the Canadian government passed the legalization of cannabis through Bill C-45, An
Act respecting cannabis and to amend the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, the Criminal Code and other Acts (the “Cannabis Act”) on rendering adult-use of cannabis lawful
throughout Canada beginning October 17, 2019. Only cannabis cultivated by producers licensed by the federal government under the ACMPR will be lawful for consumption. 

According to Statistics Canada, nearly 5 million Canadians purchased approximately 760,000 kg of cannabis worth $5.7 billion in 2017, mostly from
illegal sources. The federal agency estimates that the average price was $7.50 per gram. Various market studies have estimated the size of the legal Canadian cannabis market at over $10 billion per year. The Company is uniquely positioned to
serve that market through holding the largest forward supply contract of all licensed producers. 
 As of August 13, 2018, all provinces and
territories have announced their cannabis market retail approach, ranging from privately owned stores to government-owned retail, as well as a combined approach in several jurisdictions. The Company has positioned itself through strategic supply
agreements with the Quebec, Ontario and British Columbia provincial governments, as well as through an investment in the private cannabis retail sector, in order to offer its award-winning and innovative products across all channels throughout
Canada.

 CANADIAN MARKET OVERVIEW 

 
 

 
 Quebec 
 In Quebec,
which has a population of 8.45 million, or approximately 23% of the Canadian population, the Société québécoise du cannabis (“SQDC”) operates the distribution and sale of
adult-use cannabis. The SQDC has established 15 retail locations throughout the province, for in-store cannabis sales. It expects to increase this number to 50 locations
within the first year of legalization. It will also sell cannabis online. 
 In the first year of legalization, the Company holds a 35% market share in
Quebec. The Company’s agreement with the SQDC spans a potential five-year period, with us supplying 200,000 kg or more of cannabis, representing $1 billion in potential revenues. 

In addition, the Company has reached a distribution agreement with the SQDC, in which it will house and distribute all of the SQDC’s online sales to end-users. This includes the product of all licensed producers with established supply agreements held with the SQDC. 

Ontario 
 In Ontario, which has a population of
14.4 million, or approximately 40% of the Canadian population, the government has announced that it will offer consumers a variety of cannabis products through Ontario Cannabis Store (“OCS”) online web sales in 2018. The province will
also allow privately owned retail locations that serve the adult-use market. Initially, products will include dried cannabis, oil and capsule products, pre-rolled, and
clones and seeds. 
 The Company has entered into a supply agreement with the OCS, in which we will supply the province with THC and CBD Elixir and Fleur de
Lune products, two of our most innovative oil-based and smokeless offerings. In the future, once the 1 million sq. ft. greenhouse expansion is complete in December 2018, the Company will offer its full
suite of products. This approach will allow the Company to initially serve the Ontario market for smokeless cannabis products through the OCS. 
 British
Columbia 
 British Columbia, which has a population of 4.6 million, or approximately 13% of the Canadian population, will serve the adult-use cannabis market through a dual private-government approach. The British Columbia Liquor Distribution Branch (“BCLDB”) will manage the distribution of cannabis and cannabis-based products. The
Company holds a supply agreement with the BCLDB, in which it will supply it’s THC and CBD oil-based Elixir and Fleur de Lune products. 

  
 13 

 The Company has also aligned itself with Fire & Flower (“F&F”), a private cannabis
retailer, through a strategic investment of a $10 million convertible loan. F&F is expected to hold store locations throughout British Columbia, allowing HEXO products to be distributed via the private retail route in tandem with the BCLDB.

 Other Canadian Private Markets 
 The Company expects
to enter the remaining private-sector Canadian cannabis markets via strategic investments in private retailers such as the investment in F&F. Currently, F&F holds two licenses for retail locations within Saskatchewan and is currently
undergoing the licensing process in Alberta, with 37 locations pending. F&F has also begun the process of acquiring licenses and locations in Manitoba. 

Medical Sales and Client Acquisition 
 Under the
ACMPR, HEXO sells medical marijuana under the Hydropothecary name solely to clients who have obtained a valid medical document from a doctor or authorized health care professional. All medical clients of HEXO are required to order their medical
marijuana through the Hydropothecary online store or over the phone, through one of the Company’s trained representatives. Once an order is placed, it is shipped securely and discreetly to the client in accordance with the ACMPR, which
regulates the packaging, labelling and shipping requirements for dried marijuana. 
 Licensed producers such as HEXO are restricted in the manner of
advertising their products directly to the general public. Licensed producers are permitted to provide to the public representations of their brand name, proper or common name of the strain, price, cannabinoid content and contact information.
Working in cooperation with Health Canada’s ACMPR compliance department, Hydropothecary’s patient-client acquisition strategy is focused on building national brand awareness for HEXO/Hydropothecary, its products and the Hydropothecary
value proposition among its target patient-markets. 
 For client acquisition, Hydropothecary works closely with specialty cannabinoid clinics to build
product education and company awareness through patients, clinic staff and health care practitioners. 
 Employees 

As at July 31, 2018, HEXO has approximately 220 employees and expects to reach 400 employee’s by calendar years end. HEXO’s team includes
skilled professionals with experience directly translatable to the business. This includes 40 employees in harvest and cultivation, 81 employees in operations, manufacturing and processing, 53 employees in sales and marketing, 7 employees in quality
and research and development, and 39 employees in corporate services and executive. 
 Proprietary Protection 

HEXO protects its intellectual property through by seeking and obtaining registered protection (inclusive of patents) where possible. HEXO has over a dozen
registered trademarks, has filed to protect over a dozen more in accordance with its Intellectual Property Strategy and has further filed multiple patent applications, in its continuing effort to protect and create value. 

Corporate Social Responsibility 
 At HEXO, the goal
is to be one of the world’s leading cannabis brands powering an array of medical and consumer products. In order to achieve our goal, HEXO needs to think about more than just our products and prices. HEXO must also examine the way our
operations impact the natural and social environment. As part of this commitment, HEXO recruited the former British Columbia Health and Environment Minister Dr. Terry Lake to the position of VP of Corporate Social Responsibility
(“CSR”). 

  
 14 

 HEXO’s CSR Charter focuses on four priorities to meet these goals: People, Public, Products, and
Planet. Through this lens we are creating CSR partnerships at the local, provincial, national and international level. 
 HEXO is very proud to be investors
in our local economy of Masson-Angers. As well as supporters of local organisations like La Fondation Santé Papineau, the Association for People Living with Chronic Pain and Ottawa Riverkeeper. HEXO has also contributed to the
Gastrointestinal Society of Canada and Canadians for Fair Access to Medical Marijuana and are new members of the Global Cannabis Partnership which brings together many diverse stakeholders in the cannabis industry to create a global standard for
social and environmental sustainability. 
 As HEXO launches the Canadian adult-use cannabis industry it is crucial
that HEXO demonstrates to the world that social and environmental responsibility while providing world-class products to consumers and patients alike. 

RISK FACTORS 
 There are a number of risk
factors that could cause future results to differ materially from those described herein. The risks and uncertainties described herein are not the only ones the Company faces. Additional risks and uncertainties, including those that the Company does
not know about now or that it currently deems immaterial, may also adversely affect the Company’s business. If any of the following risks actually occur, the Company’s business may be harmed and its financial condition and results of
operations may suffer significantly. 
 Financial Risk Factors 

The Company has implemented risk management governance processes that are led by the Board of Directors, with the active participation of management, and
updates its assessment of its business risk on an annual basis. Notwithstanding, it is possible that the Company may not be able to foresee all of the risks that it may have to face. The market in which the Company currently competes is complex,
competitive and changes rapidly. Sometimes new risks emerge and management may not be able to predict all of them, or be able to predict how they may cause actual results to be different from those contained in any forward-looking statements.
Readers of this AIF should not rely upon forward-looking statements as a prediction of future results.  
 Interest Risk 

The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk only relates to any investments of surplus cash. The Company may invest surplus cash in highly liquid
investments with short terms to maturity that would accumulate interest at prevailing rates for such investments. As at July 31, 2018, the Company had short term investments of $205,446,830. 

Credit risk 
 Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to
the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Company’s trade receivables and convertible note receivable. As at July 31, 2018, the Company was
exposed to credit related losses in the event of non-performance by the counterparties. 
 The Company provides
credit to its customers in the normal course of business and has established credit evaluation and monitoring processes to mitigate credit risk. Since the majority of the sales are transacted with clients that are covered under various insurance
programs, the Company has limited credit risk. 
 Cash and cash equivalents are held by one of the largest cooperative financial groups in Canada. The
short-term investments are held in various guaranteed investment certificates, term deposits, and fixed income securities. Since the inception of the Company, no losses have been incurred in relation to cash held by the financial institution. The
trade receivable balance is held with one of the largest medical insurance companies in Canada. Credit risk from the convertible note receivable arises from the possibility that principal and/or interest due may become uncollectible. The Company
mitigates this risk by managing and monitoring the underlying business relationship. 

  
 15 

 The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, trade receivables and convertible
note receivable represents the maximum exposure to credit risk and as at July 31, 2018; this amounted to $255,432,114. 
 Liquidity Risk 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by
reviewing on an ongoing basis its capital requirements. As at July 31, 2018, the Company had $244,788,518 of cash and short term investments. 
 The
Company is obligated to pay accounts payable and accrued liabilities with a carrying amount and contractual cash flows amounting to $8,994,789 due in the next 12 months. 

The carrying values of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to their short term to maturity.

 Reliance on Management and Key Persons 
 The Company
is reliant on senior management’s ability to execute on strategy. This exposes the Company to management’s ability to perform, and as well the risk of management leaving the Company. To mitigate this risk, HEXO has implemented incentive
plans for all members of the senior management team. In addition, all senior members currently hold significant equity in the Company, another deterrent from having them leave. 

The success of the Company will be dependent upon the ability, expertise, judgment, discretion and good faith of certain of its management team and board of
directors. While employment agreements and incentive programs are designed for the retention of such key persons, these agreements and incentive programs cannot assure the continued services of such persons. Any loss of key persons could have a
material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results and/or financial condition. 
 Scale of Operations 

The Company now possesses supplier contracts across four provinces with 20,000 kg of cannabis to be supplied to Quebec in year one alone. As demand for
HEXO’s products increase there exists the risk of HEXO being unable to fulfil the demand due to production capacity limits on the existing facilities. Although the Company is currently on track to meet the intended goal of 108,000 kg of
capacity by December 2018, delays in meeting this capacity increase could result in unfulfilled purchase orders and HEXO may lose a significant amount of sales. Any inability to secure the required supply of cannabis to meet the demands of supplier
agreements either by means of internal generation or through acquisition could have a materially adverse impact on operating results of the Company. 

Competition 
 HEXO faces intense competition from licensed
producers and other companies, some of which can be expected to have more financial resources, industry, manufacturing and marketing experience than the Company. Additionally, there is potential that the industry will undergo consolidation, creating
larger companies that may have increased geographic scope. As a result of this competition, the Company may be unable to maintain its operations or develop them as currently proposed, on terms it considers acceptable or at all. Increased competition
by larger, better-financed competitors with geographic advantages could materially and adversely affect the business, financial condition and results of operations of HEXO. 

The number of licences granted and the number of licensed producers ultimately authorized by Health Canada could have an impact on the operations of the
Company. To date over 115 licenses have been authorized within Canada. HEXO expects to face additional competition from new market entrants that are granted licences under the ACMPR or existing licence holders which are not yet active in the
industry. If a significant number of new licences are granted by Health Canada in the near term future, HEXO may experience increased competition for market share within the medical market and private retail provincial and territorial markets. 

  
 16 

 If the national demand of medical and adult-use cannabis in Canada
increases, along with an increased number of licensed producers, HEXO expects that competition will become more intense, as current and future competitors begin to offer an increasing number of diversified products. To remain competitive, HEXO will
require a continued high level of investment in joint enterprises, research and development, marketing, sales and client support. HEXO may not have sufficient resources to maintain and support these efforts on a competitive basis which could
materially and adversely affect the business, financial condition and results of operations of HEXO. 
 Any or all of these events could materially and
adversely affect the business, financial condition and results of operations of HEXO. 
 General Business Risk and Liability 

Given the nature of Company’s business, it may from time to time be subject to claims or complaints from investors or others in the normal course of
business. The legal risks facing the Company, its directors, officers, employees or agents in this respect include potential liability for violations of securities laws, breach of fiduciary duty and misuse of investors’ funds. Some violations
of securities laws and breach of fiduciary duty could result in civil liability, fines, sanctions, or the suspension or revocation of the Company’s right to carry on its existing business. The Company may incur significant costs in connection
with such potential liabilities. 
 Regulation of the Cannabis Industry 

The Company is heavily regulated in all jurisdictions where it carries on business. Laws and regulations, applied generally, grant government agencies and
self-regulatory bodies broad administrative discretion over the activities of the Company, including the power to limit or restrict business activities as well as impose additional disclosure requirements on the Company’s products and services.

 Failure to adhere to these regulations may result in possible sanctions including the revocation or imposition of conditions on licences to operate the
Company’s business; the suspension or expulsion from a particular market or jurisdiction or of its key personnel; and, the imposition of fines and censures. To the extent that existing or future regulations affect the sale or offering of the
Company’s product or services in any way, the Company’s revenues may be adversely affected. 
 Regulatory Risks 

The business and activities of the Company are heavily regulated in all jurisdictions where it carries on business. The Company’s operations are subject
to various laws, regulations and guidelines by governmental authorities, particularly Health Canada, relating to the manufacture, marketing, management, transportation, storage, sale and disposal of medical cannabis, and also including laws and
regulations relating to health and safety, the conduct of operations and the protection of the environment. Laws and regulations, applied generally, grant government agencies and self-regulatory bodies broad administrative discretion over the
activities of the Company, including the power to limit or restrict business activities as well as impose additional disclosure requirements on the Company’s products and services. 

Achievement of the Company’s business objectives are contingent, in part, upon compliance with regulatory requirements enacted by these governmental
authorities and obtaining all regulatory approvals, where necessary, for the production and sale of its products. The Company cannot predict the time required to secure all appropriate regulatory approvals for its products, or the extent of testing
and documentation that may be required by governmental authorities. Any delays in obtaining, or failure to obtain regulatory approvals would significantly delay the development of markets and products and could have a material adverse effect on the
business, results of operations and financial condition of the Company. 
 Failure to comply with the laws and regulations applicable to its operations may
lead to possible sanctions including the revocation or imposition of additional conditions on licences to operate the Company’s business; the suspension or expulsion from a particular market or jurisdiction or of its key personnel; and, the
imposition of fines and censures. 

  
 17 

 To the extent that there are changes to the existing or the enactment of future laws and regulations that
affect the sale or offering of the Company’s product or services in any way, the Company’s revenues may be adversely affected. 
 Change in
Laws, Regulations and Guidelines 
 The Company’s operations are subject to a variety of laws, regulations and guidelines relating to the marketing,
acquisition, manufacture, management, transportation, storage, sale and disposal of cannabis but also including laws and regulations relating to health and safety, the conduct of operations and the protection of the environment. While to the
knowledge of the Company’s management, it is currently in compliance with all such laws, changes to such laws, regulations and guidelines due to matters beyond the control of the Company may cause adverse effects to the Company’s
operations. 
 Reliance on Licence Renewal 
 HEXO’s
business operations are dependent on its licence under the ACMPR. The licence must be renewed annually. HEXO’s current licence expires on October 15, 2019. Prior to the expiry of the licence, THCX must submit to Health Canada an
application for renewal of the licence containing information prescribed by the ACMPR. Failure to comply with the requirements of the licence or any failure to renew the licence would have a material adverse impact on the business, financial
condition and operating results of HEXO. 
 HEXO believes it is complying in all material respects with the terms of the licence and it is not aware of any
reason why it would not be able to renew the licence upon its expiry. However, there can be no guarantee that Health Canada will renew the licence, or that such renewal will occur in a timely fashion or on terms similar to HEXO’s existing
licence or otherwise acceptable to HEXO and its business. Should Health Canada not renew HEXO’s licence, delay the renewal of the licence or renew the licence on different terms, the business, financial conditions and results of the operation
of HEXO would be materially adversely affected. 
 HEXO is in the process of expanding its facilities. In order for HEXO to include the new building under
its licence, it must make an application to Health Canada to amend the licence to include the new buildings. Should Health Canada not grant the licence amendment, delay the amendment of the licence or amend the licence on different terms, the
business, financial conditions and results of the operation of HEXO would be materially adversely affected. 
 Sufficiency of Insurance 

The Company maintains various types of insurance which may include errors and omissions insurance; directors’ and officers’ insurance; property
coverage; and, general commercial insurance. There is no assurance that claims will not exceed the limits of available coverage; that any insurer will remain solvent or willing to continue providing insurance coverage with sufficient limits or at a
reasonable cost; or, that any insurer will not dispute coverage of certain claims due to ambiguities in the policies. A judgment against any member of the Company in excess of available coverage could have a material adverse effect on the Company in
terms of damages awarded and the impact on the reputation of the Company. 
 Reliance on a Single Centralized Production Facility 

HEXO’s activities and resources are currently primarily focused on its Gatineau Facility, and HEXO will continue to be focused on this facility for the
foreseeable future. Adverse changes or developments affecting the Gatineau facility including but not limited to changes to municipal laws regarding zoning, facility design errors, environmental pollution,
non-performance by third party contractors, increases in materials or labour costs, labour disputes or disruptions, inability to attract sufficient numbers of qualified workers, productivity inefficiencies,
equipment or process failures, production errors, disruption in the supply of energy and utilities and major incidents and/or catastrophic events such as fires, explosions, earthquakes or storms, would have a material and adverse effect on
HEXO’s business, financial condition and prospects. 

  
 18 

 Implementation of new ERP Systems 

In year, the Company initiated the implementation of new ERP systems. The implementation is expected to be completed in fiscal year ended July 31, 2019.
Upon full commencement of the implementation, the scoping, requirements definition, business process definition, design, and testing of the integrated ERP system could result in problems which could, in turn, result in disruption, delays and errors
to the operations and processes within the business and/or inaccurate information for management and financial reporting. 
 Limited Operating History

 HEXO commenced operations in August 2013, and as such is an early stage business and subject to the risks any early stage business faces. HEXO has
incurred operating losses since commencing operations. The success of the Company is dependent on, among other things, eventual profitability of operations, ability to raise funds when necessary in a timely manner, and senior management’s
ability to execute on strategy. The Company may incur losses in the future and may not achieve profitability. 
 Realization of Growth Targets 

The Company’s growth strategy contemplates outfitting the Gatineau facility with additional production resources. There is a risk that these additional
resources will not be achieved on time, on budget, or at all, as they can be adversely affected by a variety of factors, including some that are discussed elsewhere in these risk factors and the following: 

 

	 	•	 	 delays in obtaining, or conditions imposed by, regulatory approvals; 

 

	 	•	 	 failure to obtain anticipated licence capacity increases; 

 

	 	•	 	 plant design errors, non-performance by third party contractors,
increases in materials or labour costs; or, construction performance falling below expected levels of output or efficiency 

  

	 	•	 	 environmental pollution; 

 

	 	•	 	 contractor or operator errors; or, breakdowns, aging or failure of equipment or processes; 

 

	 	•	 	 labour disputes, disruptions or declines in productivity; or, inability to attract sufficient numbers of
qualified workers; 

  

	 	•	 	 disruption or delay in acquiring incremental supply of energy and utilities as needed; and major incidents and/or
extraordinary catastrophic events such as fires, explosions, earthquakes or storms. 

 As a result, there is a risk that the Company may
not have product, or sufficient product, available for shipment, to meet the expectations of its potential customers or in its business plan. 
 Risks
Inherent in an Agricultural Business 
 A key aspect of HEXO’s business is growing cannabis, and as such the Company is exposed to the risks
inherent in any agriculture business, such as disease spread, hazards, pests and similar agricultural risks that may create crop failures and supply interruptions for the Company’s customers. To mitigate the risk, HEXO has trained personnel to
carefully monitor the growing conditions. Although HEXO grows its products indoors under climate controlled conditions and carefully monitors the growing conditions with trained personnel, there can be no assurance the natural elements will not have
a material adverse effect on the production of its products. 
 Vulnerability to Rising Energy Costs 

The Company’s cannabis growing operations consume considerable energy, making the Company vulnerable to rising energy costs. Although, the cultivating
facilities are located in Quebec, which has one of the lowest hydro rates in the country. Rising or volatile energy costs may adversely impact the business of the Company and its ability to operate profitably. 

  
 19 

 Unfavourable Publicity or Consumer Perception 

The Company believes the cannabis industry is highly dependent upon consumer perception regarding the safety, efficacy and quality of the medical cannabis
produced. Consumer perception of the Company’s products can be significantly influenced by scientific research or findings, regulatory investigations, litigation, media attention and other publicity regarding the consumption of cannabis
products. There can be no assurance that future scientific research, findings, regulatory proceedings, litigation, media attention or other research findings or publicity will be favourable to the cannabis market or any particular product, or
consistent with earlier publicity. Future research reports, findings, regulatory proceedings, litigation, media attention or other publicity that are perceived as less favourable than, or that question, earlier research reports, findings or
publicity could have a material adverse effect on the demand for the Company’s products and the business, results of operations, financial condition and the Company’s cash flows. The Company’s dependence upon consumer perceptions
means that adverse scientific research reports, findings, regulatory proceedings, litigation, media attention or other publicity, whether or not accurate or with merit, could have a material adverse effect on the Company, the demand for the
Company’s products, and the business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows of the Company. Further, adverse publicity reports or other media attention regarding the safety, efficacy and quality of medical cannabis in
general, or the Company’s products specifically, or associating the consumption of cannabis with illness or other negative effects or events, could have such a material adverse effect. Such adverse publicity reports or other media attention
could arise even if the adverse effects associated with such products resulted from consumers’ failure to consume such products appropriately or as directed. 

Development of Adult Recreational Market 
 The Cannabis
Act came into effect on October 17, 2018 to create a regulated adult-use recreational market for cannabis in Canada, and the governments of every Canadian province and territory have, to varying degrees,
announced proposed regulatory regimes for the distribution and sale of cannabis for adult-use purposes within those jurisdictions. 

While HEXO has adopted a strategy and has been preparing for the legalization of the adult-use recreational market for
cannabis in Canada, the impact of such regulatory changes and the creation of this market on the Company’s business is uncertain. Among other considerations, restrictions on advertising, marketing and the use of logos and brand names under the
Cannabis Act could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operation. In addition, there is no guarantee that the regulatory regimes in the provinces and territories of Canada will be enacted
according to all the terms announced by such provinces and territories, or at all, or that any such regulatory regimes will create the growth opportunities that the Company currently anticipates. 

TSX Restrictions on U.S. Business Activities 
 On
October 16, 2017, the TSX provided clarity regarding the application of certain of its listing requirements to TSX-listed issuers with business activities in the cannabis sector. In TSX Staff Notice
2017-0009, the TSX notes that issuers with ongoing business activities that violate U.S. federal law regarding cannabis are not in compliance with these requirements. The TSX reminded issuers that, among other things, should the TSX find that a
listed issuer is engaging in activities contrary to the requirements, the TSX has the discretion to initiate a delisting review. Failure to comply with the requirements could have an adverse effect on our business. 

International Expansion Risks 
 HEXO has announced plans
to expand into Europe with the establishment of a Eurozone processing, production and distribution centre in Greece through a partnership with QNBS. HEXO’s expansion into jurisdictions outside of Canada is subject to additional business risks,
including whether any market for our products will develop or be maintained. HEXO may face new or unexpected risks or significantly increase its exposure to one or more existing risk factors, including economic instability, changes in laws and
regulations, and the effects of competition. These factors may limit HEXO’s ability to successfully expand our operations into such jurisdictions and may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and
results of operations 

  
 20 

 In addition, if HEXO expands into jurisdictions which are emerging markets, it may encounter political and
other risks in emerging markets. Such operations would expose HEXO to the socioeconomic conditions as well as the laws governing the cannabis industry in such countries. Inherent risks with conducting foreign operations include, but are not limited
to: high rates of inflation; extreme fluctuations in currency exchange rates; military repression war or civil war; social and labor unrest; organized crime; hostage taking; terrorism; violent crime; expropriation and nationalization; renegotiation
or nullification of existing licenses, approvals, permits and contracts; changes in taxation policies; restrictions on foreign exchange and repatriation; and changing political norms, currency controls and governmental regulations that favor or
require us to award contracts in, employ citizens of, or purchase supplies from, the jurisdiction. Governments in certain foreign jurisdictions intervene in their economies, sometimes frequently, and occasionally make significant changes in policies
and regulations. Changes, if any, in cannabis industry or investment policies or shifts in political attitude in the countries in which HEXO may expand may adversely affect its operations or profitability. Operations may be affected in varying
degrees by government regulations with respect to, but not limited to, restrictions on production, price controls, export controls, currency remittance, importation of product and supplies, income and other taxes, royalties, the repatriation of
profits, expropriation of property, foreign investment, maintenance of licenses, approvals and permits, environmental matters, land use, land claims of local people, water use and workplace safety. Failure to comply strictly with applicable laws,
regulations and local practices could result in loss, reduction or expropriation of licenses, or the imposition of additional local or foreign parties as joint venture partners with carried or other interests. 

HEXO continues to monitor developments and policies in the emerging markets in which it may expand; however, such developments cannot be accurately predicted
and could have an adverse effect on our operations or profitability. Any of the foregoing risks and uncertainties could have a material adverse effect on HEXO’s business, financial condition and results of operations. 

Ownership or Control Restrictions in Foreign Jurisdictions 

Non-resident individuals and non-domiciled foreign legal entities may be
subject to restrictions on the acquisition or lease of properties in certain emerging markets. Limitations also apply to legal entities domiciled in such countries which are controlled by foreign investors, such as the entities through which HEXO
may operate in certain countries. Accordingly, HEXO’s current and future operations may be impaired as a result of such restrictions on the acquisition or use of property, and our ownership or access rights in respect of any property we own or
lease in such jurisdictions may be subject to legal challenges, all of which could result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. 

Increased Operational, Regulatory and Other Risks from International Expansion 

HEXO’s expansion into jurisdictions outside of Canada could increase its operational, regulatory, compliance, reputational and foreign exchange rate
risks. The failure of the Company’s operating infrastructure to support such expansion could result in operational failures and regulatory fines or sanctions. Future international expansion could require HEXO to incur a number of up-front expenses, including those associated with obtaining regulatory approvals, as well as additional ongoing expenses, including those associated with infrastructure, staff and regulatory compliance. HEXO may
not be able to successfully identify suitable acquisition and expansion opportunities or integrate such operations successfully with its existing operations. 

Acquisition and Development Risks 
 HEXO expects to
selectively seek strategic acquisitions. HEXO’s ability to consummate and to integrate effectively any future acquisitions on terms that are favourable to it may be limited by the number of attractive acquisition targets, internal demands on
HEXO’s resources and, to the extent necessary, HEXO’s ability to obtain financing on satisfactory terms, if at all. Acquisitions may expose HEXO to additional risks including difficulties in integrating administrative, financial reporting,
operational and information systems and managing newly acquired operations and improving their operating efficiency, difficulties in maintaining uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies through all of the HEXO’s operations, entry
into markets in which HEXO has little or no direct experience; difficulties in retaining key employees of the acquired operations; and disruptions to HEXO’s ongoing business. In addition, 

  
 21 

 future acquisitions could result in the incurrence of additional debt, costs, and contingent liabilities to
HEXO. HEXO may also incur costs for and divert management attention to potential acquisitions that are never consummated. For acquisitions that are consummated, expected synergies may not materialize. HEXO’s failure to effectively address any
of these issues could have a material adverse effect on HEXO’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in the future 

Product Liability 
 As a manufacturer and distributor of
products designed to be ingested or inhaled by humans, HEXO faces an inherent risk of exposure to product liability claims, regulatory action and litigation if its products are alleged to have caused significant loss or injury. In addition, the
manufacture and sale of HEXO’s products involve the risk of injury or loss to consumers due to tampering by unauthorized third parties, product contamination, unauthorized use by consumers or other third parties. Previously unknown adverse
reactions resulting from human consumption of HEXO’s products alone or in combination with other medications or substances could occur. HEXO may be subject to various product liability claims, including, among others, that HEXO’s products
caused injury, illness or loss, include inadequate instructions for use or include inadequate warnings concerning possible side effects or interactions with other substances. A product liability claim or regulatory action against HEXO could result
in increased costs, could adversely affect HEXO’s reputation with its clients and consumers generally, and could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations and financial condition of HEXO. There can be no assurances that HEXO
will be able to obtain or maintain product liability insurance on acceptable terms or with adequate coverage against potential liabilities. Such insurance is expensive and may not be available in the future on acceptable terms, or at all. The
inability to obtain sufficient insurance coverage on reasonable terms or to otherwise protect against potential product liability claims could prevent or inhibit the commercialization of HEXO’s potential products. 

Product Recalls 
 Manufacturers and distributors of
products are sometimes subject to the recall or return of their products for a variety of reasons, including product defects, such as contamination, unintended harmful side effects or interactions with other substances, packaging safety and
inadequate or inaccurate labeling disclosure. If any of HEXO’s products are recalled due to an alleged product defect or for any other reason, HEXO could be required to incur the unexpected expense of the recall and any legal proceedings that
might arise in connection with the recall. HEXO may lose a significant amount of sales and may not be able to replace those sales at an acceptable margin or at all. In addition, a product recall may require significant management attention. Although
HEXO has detailed procedures in place for testing finished products, there can be no assurance that any quality, potency or contamination problems will be detected in time to avoid unforeseen product recalls, regulatory action or lawsuits.
Additionally, if one of HEXO’s significant brands were subject to recall, the image of that brand and HEXO could be harmed. A recall for any of the foregoing reasons could lead to decreased demand for HEXO’s products and could have a
material adverse effect on the results of operations and financial condition of HEXO. Additionally, product recalls may lead to increased scrutiny of HEXO’s operations by Health Canada or other regulatory agencies, requiring further management
attention and potential legal fees and other expenses. 
 Reliance on Key Inputs 

The Company’s business is dependent on a number of key inputs and their related costs including raw materials and supplies related to its growing
operations, as well as electricity, water and other local utilities. Any significant interruption or negative change in the availability or economics of the supply chain for key inputs could materially impact the business, financial condition and
operating results of the Company. Some of these inputs may only be available from a single supplier or a limited group of suppliers. If a sole source supplier was to go out of business, the Company might be unable to find a replacement for such
source in a timely manner or at all. If a sole source supplier were to be acquired by a competitor, that competitor may elect not to sell to the Company in the future. Any inability to secure required supplies and services or to do so on appropriate
terms could have a materially adverse impact on the business, financial condition and operating results of the Company. 

  
 22 

 Difficulties with Forecasts 

The Company must rely largely on its own market research to forecast sales as detailed forecasts are not generally obtainable from other sources at this early
stage of the medical cannabis industry in Canada. A failure in the demand for its products to materialize as a result of competition, technological change or other factors could have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations
and financial condition of the Company. 
 Management of Growth 

The Company may be subject to growth-related risks including capacity constraints and pressure on its internal systems and controls. The ability of the Company
to manage growth effectively will require it to continue to implement and improve its operational and financial systems and to expand, train and manage its employee base. If the Company is unable to deal with this growth; that may have a material
adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. 
 Litigation 

The Company may become party to litigation from time to time in the ordinary course of business which could adversely affect its business. Should any
litigation in which the Company becomes involved be determined against the Company, such a decision could adversely affect the Company’s ability to continue operating and the market price for the Company’s common shares and could use
significant resources. Even if the Company is involved in litigation and wins, litigation can redirect significant company resources. 
 Dividends

 The Company has no earnings or dividend record and may not pay any dividends on its common shares in the foreseeable future. Dividends paid by the
Company could be subject to tax and, potentially, withholdings. 
 Limited Market for Securities 

The Company’s common shares are listed on the TSX, however, there can be no assurance that an active and liquid market for the common shares will be
maintained and an investor may find it difficult to resell any securities of the Company. 
 Volatile Market Price of Common Shares 

The market price for HEXO’s common shares may be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to numerous factors, including governmental and
regulatory regimes, community support for the medical cannabis industry, variations in the operating results of the Company, changes in the business prospects for the Company, as well as many other factors that are beyond the Company’s control,
including the following: 
  

	 	(a)	 actual or anticipated fluctuations in the Company’s results of operations; 

 

	 	(b)	 changes in estimates of future results of operations by the Company or securities research analysts;

  

	 	(c)	 changes in the economic performance or market valuations of other companies that investors deem comparable to
the Company; 

  

	 	(d)	 addition or departure of the Company’s executive officers and other key personnel; 

 

	 	(e)	 release or other transfer restrictions on outstanding Company common shares; 

 

	 	(f)	 sales or perceived sales of additional securities by the Company; 

  
 23 

	 	(g)	 significant acquisitions or business combinations, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital
commitments by or involving the Company or its competitors; and 

  

	 	(h)	 news reports relating to trends, concerns or competitive developments, regulatory changes and other related
issues in the Company’s industry or target markets. 

 The results of these activities will inevitably affect the Company’s
decisions related to future operations and will likely trigger major changes in the trading price of the Company’s common shares. In general, financial markets have, from time to time, experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations, that
have been unrelated to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. Accordingly, the market price of the Company’s common shares may decline even if the Company’s operating results, underlying asset
values or prospects have not changed. Additionally, these factors, as well as other related factors, may cause decreases in asset values that are deemed to be other than temporary, which may result in impairment losses. If such increased levels of
volatility and market turmoil continue, the Company’s operations could be adversely impacted, and the trading price of the Company’s common shares may be adversely affected. 

Risk Factors Related to Dilution 
 The Company may issue
additional common shares in the future, which may dilute a shareholder’s holdings in the Company. The Company’s articles permit the issuance of an unlimited number of common shares, and shareholders will have no pre-emptive rights in connection with such further issuance. The directors of the Company have the discretion to determine the price and the terms of issue of further issuances. Moreover, additional common shares
will be issued by the Company on the exercise of options under the Company’s stock option plan and upon the exercise of outstanding warrants. 

Environmental and Employee Health and Safety Regulations 

The Company’s operations are subject to environmental and safety laws and regulations concerning, among other things, emissions and discharges to water,
air and land, the handling and disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous materials and wastes, and employee health and safety. The Company will incur ongoing costs and obligations related to compliance with
environmental and employee health and safety matters. Failure to comply with environmental and safety laws and regulations may result in additional costs for corrective measures, penalties or in restrictions on our manufacturing operations. In
addition, changes in environmental, employee health and safety or other laws, more vigorous enforcement thereof or other unanticipated events could require extensive changes to the Company’s operations or give rise to material liabilities,
which could have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations and financial condition of the Company. 
 Constraints on Marketing
Products 
 The development of the Company’s business and operating results may be hindered by applicable restriction on sales and marketing
activities imposed by Health Canada. The regulatory environment in Canada limits the Company’s ability to compete for market share in a manner similar to other industries. If HEXO is unable to effectively market its products and compete for
market share, or if the costs of compliance with government legislation and regulation cannot be absorbed through the selling price for its products, the Company’s sales and operating results could be adversely affected. 

Fraudulent or Illegal Activities by Employees, Contractors or Consultants 

The Company is exposed to the risk that its employees, independent contractors and consultants may engage in fraudulent or other illegal activity. Misconduct
by these parties could include intentional, reckless and/or negligent conduct or disclosure of unauthorized activities to the Company that violates: (i) government regulations; (ii) manufacturing standards; (iii) federal and
provincial healthcare fraud and abuse laws and regulations; or (iv) laws that require the true, complete and accurate reporting of financial information or data. It is not always possible for the Company to identify and deter misconduct by its
employees and other third parties, and the precautions taken by the Company to detect and prevent this activity may not be effective in controlling unknown or unmanaged risks or losses 

  
 24 

 or in protecting the Company from governmental investigations or other actions or lawsuits stemming from a
failure to be in compliance with such laws or regulations. If any such actions are instituted against HEXO, and it is not successful in defending itself or asserting its rights, those actions could have a significant impact on our business,
including the imposition of civil, criminal and administrative penalties, damages, monetary fines, contractual damages, reputational harm, diminished profits and future earnings, and curtailment of the Company’s operations, any of which could
have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. 
 Significant Obligations as a Public
Company 
 The Company is subject to evolving corporate governance and disclosure regulations that may from time to time increase HEXO’s risk of non-compliance, which could adversely impact the price of the Common Shares. 
 The Company is subject to changed rules
and regulations as implemented by a number of governmental and self-regulated bodies, including, but not limited to, the Canadian Securities Administration, the TSX and the International Accounting Standards Board. These rules and regulations
continue to evolve in scope and complexity creating many new requirements. 
 On June 21, 2018, the Company commenced trading on the TSX and is
therefore subject to National Instrument 52-109 Certifications for Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings, to file certifications related to establishing and maintaining adequate
Disclosure Controls and Procedures (“DCP”) and Internal Control Over Financial Reporting (“ICFR”). If we do not satisfy the DCP and ICFR requirements on an ongoing and timely basis, investors could lose confidence in the
reliability of our financial statements, and this could harm our business and have a negative effect on the trading price or market value of securities of the Corporation. If we do not implement new or improved controls, or experience difficulties
in implementing them, it could harm our operating results, or we may not be able to meet our reporting obligations. There is no assurance that we will be able to remediate material weaknesses, if any are identified in future periods, or maintain all
of the necessary controls to ensure continued compliance. There is also no assurance that we will be able to retain personnel who have the necessary finance and accounting skills because of the increased demand for qualified personnel among publicly
traded companies. Although we intend to devote substantial time to ongoing compliance with this, including incurring the necessary costs associated with therewith, we cannot be certain that we will be successful in complying with the aforementioned
public governance requirements. 
 The Company operates in a dynamic, rapidly changing environment that involves risks and uncertainties, and as a
result, management expectations may not be realized for a number of reasons. An investment in HEXO securities is speculative and involves a high degree of risk and uncertainty. 

DIVIDENDS 
 As of the date of this Annual
Information Form, the Company has not paid any dividends and has no current intention to declare dividends on its Common Shares in the foreseeable future. Any decision to pay dividends on its Common Shares in the future will be at the discretion of
the Company’s board of directors and will depend on, among other things, the Company’s results of operations, current and anticipated cash requirements and surplus, financial condition, any future contractual restrictions and financing
agreement covenants, solvency tests imposed by corporate law and other factors that the board of directors may deem relevant. 
 CAPITAL
STRUCTURE 
 The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Common Shares and an unlimited number of special shares issuable in series. As of
the date of this Annual Information Form, there are 193,629,174 Common Shares issued and outstanding. 
 The holders of the Common Shares are entitled to
one vote per share at all meetings of the shareholders of the Company either in person or by proxy. The holders of Common Shares are also entitled to dividends, if and when declared by the directors of the Company and the distribution of the
residual assets of the Company in the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. The Common Shares rank equally as to all benefits which might accrue to 

  
 25 

 the holders thereof, including the right to receive dividends, voting powers, and participation in assets
and in all other respects, on liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, or any other disposition of the assets of the Company among its shareholders for the
purpose of winding up its affairs after the Company has paid out its liabilities. The Common Shares are not subject to call or assessment rights or any preemptive or conversion rights. There are no provisions for redemption, purchase for
cancellation, surrender or purchase of funds. 
 The Company has adopted an omnibus long-term incentive plan (the “Omnibus Plan”) under
