Item 3.03Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

 

To the extent required by Item 3.03 of Form 8-K, the information contained in Item 5.03 herein is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.03.

 

Item 5.03Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

 

On December 15, 2023, Canopy Growth Corporation (the “Company”) filed an amendment to the articles of incorporation of the Company, as amended (the “Articles Amendment”) to effect a consolidation (the “Share Consolidation”) of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company (the “Common Shares”), at a ratio (the “Consolidation Ratio”) of one post-Share Consolidation Common Share for every 10 pre-Share Consolidation Common Shares.

 

As previously disclosed on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 26, 2023, on September 25, 2023, the Company’s shareholders approved a special resolution approving an amendment to the articles of incorporation of the Company, as amended, to provide that (i) the authorized capital of the Company be altered by consolidating all of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on the basis of a ratio to be determined by the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”), in its sole discretion, within a range of one post-consolidation Common Share for every five to 15 outstanding pre-consolidation Common Shares at anytime prior to September 25, 2024, with the exact ratio to be set at a whole number within this range by the Board in its sole discretion; and (ii) any fractional Common Shares arising from the consolidation of the Common Shares will be deemed to have been tendered by its registered owner to the Company for cancellation for no consideration. On December 4, 2023, the Board approved the Consolidation Ratio of 10:1.

 

As a result of the Share Consolidation, every 10 pre-Share Consolidation Common Shares will be combined into one post-Share Consolidation Common Share. No fractional Common Shares will be issued and no cash will be paid in lieu of fractional Common Shares in connection with the Share Consolidation. Any fractional Common Shares arising from the Share Consolidation will be deemed to have been tendered by its registered owner to the Company for cancellation for no consideration.

 

The Share Consolidation is intended for the Company to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per share for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Select Market (the “Nasdaq”). The Share Consolidation became effective on December 15, 2023, and the post-Share Consolidation Common Shares are expected to begin trading on the Nasdaq and the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) at market open on December 20, 2023. It is anticipated that upon completion of the Share Consolidation, the post-Share Consolidation Common Shares will continue to trade on the Nasdaq under the symbol “CGC”, and on the TSX under the symbol “WEED”. The new CUSIP number of the Common Shares following the Share Consolidation is 138035704.

 

The Company’s transfer agent, Odyssey Trust Company, is acting as the exchange agent for the Share Consolidation.

 

In addition, the exercise or conversion price and/or the number of Common Shares issuable under any of the Company’s outstanding convertible securities, including under outstanding stock options, warrants, rights, convertible debentures and any other similar securities of the Company, will be proportionately adjusted upon the implementation of the Share Consolidation, in accordance with the terms of such securities.
