Credit Facility

On March 18, 2021, the Company entered into a term loan credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") providing for a five-year, first lien senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of US$750,000 (the “Credit Facility”). The Company had the ability to obtain up to an additional US$500,000 of incremental senior secured debt pursuant to the Credit Agreement. On October 24, 2022, in connection with the balance sheet actions completed as part of the creation of Canopy USA, the Company entered into agreements with certain of its lenders under the Credit Agreement to tender US$187,500 of the principal amount outstanding thereunder at a discounted price of US$930 per US$1,000 or US$174,375 in the aggregate. The first payment, which was oversubscribed, in the amount of $117,528 (US$87,852) was made on November 10, 2022 to reduce the principal indebtedness by $126,324 (US$94,427). The second payment of $116,847 (US$87,213) was made on April 17, 2023 to reduce principal indebtedness under the Credit Agreement by $125,606 (US$93,750). Additionally, on October 24, 2022, the Company and certain of its lenders agreed to make certain amendments to the Credit Agreement which, among other things, resulted in: (i) a reduction to the minimum liquidity covenant to no less than US$100,000 following completion of the second principal repurchase on April 17, 2023; (ii) certain changes to the application of net proceeds from asset sales; (iii) the establishment of a new committed delayed draw term credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of US$100,000; and (iv) the elimination of the additional US$500,000 incremental term loan facility.

On July 13, 2023, as part of the Company's balance sheet deleveraging initiatives, the Company entered into agreements with certain of its lenders under the Credit Agreement pursuant to which certain additional amendments were made to the Credit Agreement (the Credit Agreement, as amended as of July 13, 2023, is referred to herein as the "Amended Credit Agreement"). The

Amended Credit Agreement required the Company to prepay or repurchase principal indebtedness under the Credit Facility in an amount equal to the US dollar equivalent of $93,000 at a discounted price of US$930 per US$1,000 (the "July 2023 Paydown"). In addition, the Amended Credit Agreement requires the Company to apply certain net proceeds from asset sales to prepay or repurchase principal indebtedness under the Credit Facility and receive principal reductions at, in certain circumstances, a discounted price of US$950 per US$1,000. The Amended Credit Agreement also includes, among other things, amendments to the minimum liquidity covenant such that the US$100,000 minimum liquidity covenant ceased to apply concurrently with the July 2023 Paydown. The Company made the July 2023 Paydown on July 21, 2023.

On each of August 11, 2023 and September 14, 2023, pursuant to the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company repurchased additional outstanding principal amounts under the Credit Facility using certain net proceeds from completed asset sales (the "Second Quarter 2024 Paydowns"). The Second Quarter 2024 Paydowns resulted in an aggregate principal reduction of $73,313 (US$54,491) for a cash payment of $69,647 (US$51,766).

On each of November 28, 2023 and December 27, 2023, pursuant to the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company repurchased and repaid, as applicable, additional outstanding principal amounts under the Credit Facility using certain net proceeds from completed asset sales (the "Third Quarter 2024 Paydowns"). The Third Quarter 2024 Paydowns resulted in an aggregate principal reduction of $65,379 (US$48,532) for a cash payment of $63,167 (US$46,902).

On February 21, 2024, the Company repurchased additional outstanding principal amounts under the Credit Facility (the "Fourth Quarter 2024 Paydown"). The Fourth Quarter 2024 Paydown resulted in an aggregate principal reduction of $31,078 (US$23,000) for a cash payment of $27,970 (US$20,700).

On April 29, 2024 and June 28, 2024, the Company repurchased additional outstanding principal amounts under the Credit Facility (the "First Quarter 2025 Paydowns"). The First Quarter 2025 Paydowns resulted in an aggregate principal reduction of $11,159 (US$8,165) for a cash payment of $11,159 (US$8,165).

On August 8, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Amending Agreement”) with all of the lenders to the Credit Facility under the Credit Agreement dated March 18, 2021, as amended on October 24, 2022 and July 13, 2023, among the Company and 11065220 Canada Inc., as borrowers, the lenders party thereto and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as administrative and collateral agent. Pursuant to the terms of the Amending Agreement, the maturity date of the Credit Facility was extended to December 18, 2026 and a mandatory US$97,500 prepayment of the Credit Facility at 97.5% of par thereby reducing the outstanding amount of the Credit Facility by US$100,000 was required to be made by December 31, 2024. The Company made the mandatory prepayment on October 16, 2024. Refer to Note 30 for additional details regarding the early prepayment.

In addition, the maturity date of the Credit Facility will be further extended to September 18, 2027 if an optional prepayment on the same terms is made on or before March 31, 2025. The Amending Agreement also includes changes to certain negative covenants, repayment provisions in the event of divestitures and events of default.

On September 27, 2024, the Company repurchased additional outstanding principal amounts under the Credit Facility (the "Second Quarter 2025 Paydown"). The Second Quarter 2025 Paydown resulted in an aggregate principal reduction of $1,148 (US$851) for a cash payment of $1,148 (US$851).

Through August 8, 2024, the Credit Facility matured on March 18, 2026 and through December 26, 2023, had an interest rate of LIBOR + 8.50%. After August 8, 2024, the Credit Facility matures on December 18, 2026, and after December 26, 2023, interest on amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility is calculated at either the applicable prime rate plus 7.50% per annum, subject to a prime rate floor of 2.00%, or adjusted term SOFR plus 8.50% per annum, subject to an adjusted term SOFR floor of 1.00%. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by material wholly-owned Canadian and U.S. subsidiaries of the Company. The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its material wholly-owned Canadian and U.S. subsidiaries, including material real property. The Amended Credit Agreement contains representations and warranties, and affirmative and negative covenants.

Promissory Note

On April 13, 2023, the Company entered into an exchange agreement (the “April 2023 Exchange Agreement”) with Greenstar Canada Investment Limited Partnership (“Greenstar”), an affiliate of Constellation Brands, Inc. (“CBI”), in order to acquire and cancel $100,000 aggregate principal amount of the 4.25% unsecured senior notes due in 2023 (the “Canopy Notes”). Pursuant to the April 2023 Exchange Agreement, the Company agreed to acquire and cancel $100,000 aggregate principal amount of the Canopy Notes held by Greenstar in exchange for: (i) a cash payment to Greenstar in the amount of the unpaid and accrued interest owing under the Canopy Notes held by Greenstar; and (ii) a promissory note (the “CBI Note”) issuable to Greenstar in the aggregate amount of $100,000 payable on December 31, 2024. The CBI Note bears interest at a rate of 4.25% per year, payable on maturity of the CBI Note.

On April 18, 2024, the Company entered into an exchange agreement (the “April 2024 Exchange Agreement”) with Greenstar, pursuant to which Greenstar converted approximately $81,220 of the principal amount of the $100,000 principal amount of the CBI Note into 9,111,549 exchangeable shares of the Company (the “Exchangeable Shares”), calculated based on a price per Exchangeable

Share equal to $8.91 (the “Note Exchange”). Pursuant to the terms of the April 2024 Exchange Agreement, all accrued but unpaid interest on the CBI Note together with the remaining principal amount of the CBI Note was cancelled and forgiven for no additional consideration by Greenstar. Following the closing of the Note Exchange, there is no outstanding balance owing under the CBI Note and the CBI Note has been cancelled.

Supreme Cannabis Convertible Debentures and Accretion Debentures

On October 19, 2018, The Supreme Cannabis Company, Inc. (“Supreme Cannabis”) entered into an indenture with Computershare Trust Company of Canada (the “Trustee”) pursuant to which Supreme Cannabis issued 6.0% senior unsecured convertible debentures (the “Supreme Debentures”) for gross proceeds of $100,000. On September 9, 2020, Supreme Cannabis and the Trustee entered into a supplemental indenture to effect certain amendments to the Supreme Debentures, which included among other things: (i) the cancellation of $63,500 of principal amount of the Supreme Debentures; (ii) an increase in the interest rate to 8% per annum; (iii) the extension of the maturity date to September 10, 2025; and (iv) a reduction in the conversion price to $2.85.

In addition, on September 9, 2020, Supreme Cannabis issued new senior unsecured non-convertible debentures (the “Accretion Debentures”). The principal amount began at $nil and accreted at a rate of 11.06% per annum based on the remaining principal amount of the Supreme Debentures of $36,500 to a maximum of $13,500, compounding on a semi-annual basis commencing on September 9, 2020, and ending on September 9, 2023. As of September 9, 2023, the principal amount of the Accretion Debentures was finalized as $10,434. The Accretion Debentures are payable in cash, but do not bear cash interest and are not convertible into the common shares of Supreme Cannabis (the “Supreme Shares”). The principal amount of the Accretion Debentures will amortize, or be paid, at 1.0% per month over the 24 months prior to maturity.

As a result of the completion of an arrangement on June 22, 2021 by the Company and Supreme Cannabis, pursuant to which the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding Supreme Shares (the “Supreme Arrangement”), the Supreme Debentures remain outstanding as securities of Supreme Cannabis, which, upon conversion will entitle the holder thereof to receive, in lieu of the number of Supreme Shares to which such holder was theretofore entitled, the consideration payable under the Supreme Arrangement that such holder would have been entitled to be issued and receive if, immediately prior to the effective time of the Supreme Arrangement, such holder had been the registered holder of the number of Supreme Shares to which such holder was theretofore entitled.

In connection with the Supreme Arrangement, the Company, Supreme Cannabis and the Trustee entered into a supplemental indenture whereby the Company agreed to issue common shares upon conversion of any Supreme Debenture. In addition, the Company may force conversion of the Supreme Debentures outstanding with 30 days’ notice if the daily volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s common shares is greater than $385.90 for any 10 consecutive trading days. The Company, Supreme Cannabis and the Trustee entered into a further supplemental indenture whereby the Company agreed to guarantee the obligations of Supreme Cannabis pursuant to the Supreme Debentures and the Accretion Debentures.

Prior to September 9, 2023, the Supreme Debentures were not redeemable. Beginning on and after September 9, 2023, Supreme Cannabis may from time to time, upon providing 60 days prior written notice to the Trustee, redeem the Supreme Debentures outstanding, provided that the Accretion Debentures have already been redeemed in full.

During the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, principal payments on Accretion Debentures totaled $nil and $677, respectively, and approximately $2,664 and $30,227, respectively, of aggregate principal amount of outstanding Supreme Debentures and Accretion Debentures were settled through the August 2024 Supreme Convertible Debt Exchange (as defined below) and the Exchange and Subscription Agreement (as defined below).

May 2024 Convertible Debenture

On May 2, 2024, the Company entered into an exchange and subscription agreement (the “Exchange and Subscription Agreement”) with a single institutional investor (the “May 2024 Investor”) pursuant to which, among other things, the May 2024 Investor delivered to the Company approximately $27,563 aggregate principal amount of outstanding Supreme Debentures and Accretion Debentures held by the May 2024 Investor and paid the Company $68,255 (US$50,000) in exchange for the Company issuing to the May 2024 Investor (i) a new senior unsecured convertible debenture of the Company (the “May 2024 Convertible Debenture”) with an aggregate principal amount of $96,358 maturing five years from the closing date (the “Closing Date”) of the transaction (the “Transaction”) and (ii) 3,350,430 common share purchase warrants (the “May 2024 Investor Warrants”) of the Company. Each May 2024 Investor Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one Canopy Growth common share at an exercise price equal to $16.18 per Canopy Growth common share for a period of five years from the Closing Date. The May 2024 Convertible Debenture bears interest at a rate of 7.50% per annum, payable in semi-annual payments in cash or, at the option of the Company, in

Canopy Growth common shares for the first four semi-annual interest payments after the Closing Date, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, including the prior approval of the TSX.

The Exchange and Subscription Agreement granted the May 2024 Investor, for a period of four months from the Closing Date (the “Agreement ROFR Term”), a right of first refusal to subscribe for, and to be issued, as the sole investor in any proposed non-brokered private placement that the Company wishes to complete during the Agreement ROFR Term (the “Proposed Private Placement”); provided, however, that the May 2024 Investor shall subscribe for 100% of the Proposed Private Placement on the same terms and conditions contemplated in the Proposed Private Placement.

The May 2024 Convertible Debenture is convertible into Canopy Growth common shares at the option of the May 2024 Investor at a conversion price equal to $14.38 per share. The May 2024 Convertible Debenture is subject to a forced conversion feature upon notice from the Company in the event that the average closing trading price of the Canopy Growth common shares on the TSX exceeds $21.57 for a period of 10 consecutive trading days. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the May 2024 Convertible Debenture, for so long as the principal amount under the May 2024 Convertible Debenture remains outstanding (the “Debenture ROFR Term”), the Company granted the May 2024 Investor a right of first refusal to subscribe for, and to be issued, as an investor in any debt or equity financing that the Company wishes to complete during the Debenture ROFR Term (the “Proposed Financing”); provided, however, that the May 2024 Investor shall subscribe for 25% of the Proposed Financing on the same terms and conditions contemplated in the Proposed Financing.
