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. 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 U.S. 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 required 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 included, 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.

Between August 11, 2023 and June 28, 2024, the Company repurchased additional outstanding principal amounts under the Credit Facility as follows:

On each of August 11, 2023 and September 14, 2023, the Company repurchased aggregate principal of $73,313 (US$54,491) for a cash payment of $69,647 (US$51,766) (the “Second Quarter 2024 Paydowns”).
On each of November 28, 2023 and December 27, 2023, the Company repurchased aggregate principal of $65,379 (US$48,532) for a cash payment of $63,167 (US$46,902) (the “Third Quarter 2024 Paydowns”).
On February 21, 2024, the Company repurchased aggregate principal of $31,078 (US$23,000) for a cash payment of $27,970 (US$20,700) (the “Fourth Quarter 2024 Paydown”).
On each of April 29, 2024 and June 28, 2024, the Company repurchased aggregate principal of $11,159 (US$8,165) for a cash payment of $11,159 (US$8,165) (the “First Quarter 2025 Paydowns”).

On August 8, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Amending Agreement”) with all of the lenders to the Credit Facility under the Amended Credit Agreement, 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. In addition, the Amending Agreement provided for a further extension to the maturity date of the Credit Facility to September 18, 2027 if an optional prepayment on the same terms was made on or before March 31, 2025 (the “Optional Prepayment”). The Amending Agreement also included changes to certain negative covenants, repayment provisions in the event of divestitures and events of default.

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 matured on December 18, 2026, and after December 26, 2023, interest on amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility was 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 were guaranteed by material wholly-owned Canadian and U.S. subsidiaries of the Company. The Credit Facility was 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 contained representations and warranties, and affirmative and negative covenants.

Between September 27, 2024 and March 31, 2025, the Company repurchased additional outstanding principal amounts under the Credit Facility as follows:

On September 27, 2024, the Company repurchased aggregate principal of $1,148 (US$851) for a cash payment of $1,148 (US$851) (the “Second Quarter 2025 Paydown”).
On October 16, 2024, the Company repurchased aggregate principal of $137,710 (US$100,000) for a cash payment of $134,267 (US$97,500) (the “Third Quarter 2025 Paydown”).
On March 31, 2025, the Company made the Optional Prepayment and repurchased aggregate principal of $143,870 (US$100,000) for a cash payment of $140,273 (US$97,500).

On July 29, 2025, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Third Paydown Agreement”) with certain lenders under its Credit Facility. Pursuant to the Third Paydown Agreement, the Company was required to make the following prepayments: (i) US$25,000 at par on or prior to July 31, 2025; (ii) US$10,000 at par on or prior to December 31, 2025; and (iii) US$15,000 at par on or prior to March 31, 2026. In accordance with the terms of the Third Paydown Agreement, on July 31, 2025, the Company made the first of the three required prepayments in the aggregate amount of US$25,000 to reduce the principal balance of the Credit Facility (the “First Prepayment”).

On September 12, 2025, the Company made an early prepayment of US$25,000 at par (the “Early Prepayment”) to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Credit Facility. The Early Prepayment satisfied the remainder of the Company’s prepayment obligations associated with the Third Paydown Agreement. The First Prepayment and the Early Prepayment resulted in an aggregate principal reduction of $69,230 (US$50,000) for a cash payment of $69,230 (US$50,000).

In connection with the Loan Transaction (as defined below) on January 8, 2026, the Company repaid all amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility.

Supreme Cannabis Convertible Debentures and Accretion Debentures

On October 19, 2018, The Supreme Cannabis Company, Inc. (“Supreme Cannabis”) issued 6.0% senior unsecured convertible debentures (the “Supreme Debentures”) for gross proceeds of $100,000. On September 9, 2020, the Supreme Debentures were amended to effect, 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 were payable in cash, but did not bear cash interest and were not convertible into common shares of Supreme Cannabis (the “Supreme Shares”). The principal amount of the Accretion Debentures amortized, or would be paid, at 1.0% per month over the 24 months prior to maturity.

As a result of an arrangement (the “Supreme Arrangement”) the Company completed with Supreme Cannabis on June 22, 2021 pursuant to which the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding Supreme Shares, the Supreme Debentures remained outstanding as securities of Supreme Cannabis, which, upon conversion entitled 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 Computershare Trust Company of Canada (the “Trustee”) entered into a supplemental indenture whereby the Company agreed to issue Canopy Shares upon conversion of any Supreme Debenture. In addition, the Company was able to force conversion of the Supreme Debentures outstanding with 30 days’ notice if the daily volume weighted average trading price of Canopy Shares was 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 was from time to time, upon providing 60 days prior written notice to the Trustee, able to redeem the Supreme Debentures outstanding, provided that the Accretion Debentures had already been redeemed in full.

On May 2, 2024, the Company entered into the Exchange and Subscription Agreement (as defined below) where approximately $27,563 of aggregate principal amount of outstanding Supreme Debentures and Accretion Debentures were settled.

On August 20, 2024, the Company entered into an exchange and subscription agreement with a single institutional investor (the “August 2024 Investor”) pursuant to which, among other things, the August 2024 Investor delivered to the Company approximately $2,664 of aggregate principal amount of outstanding Supreme Debentures held by the August 2024 Investor in exchange for 291,351 Canopy Shares and $29 in cash for accrued interest.

For the years ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025 principal payments on the Accretion Debentures totaled $165 and $1,473, respectively, and principal payments on the Supreme Debentures totaled $2,014 and $nil, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, the Supreme Debentures and the Accretion Debentures have been fully settled and are no longer outstanding.

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 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 Share at an exercise price equal to $16.18 per Canopy Share for a period of five years from the Closing Date. Interest on amounts outstanding under the May 2024 Convertible Debenture was calculated at a rate of 7.50% per annum, payable in semi-annual payments in cash or, at the option of the Company, in Canopy 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 Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”).

The May 2024 Convertible Debenture was convertible into Canopy Shares at the option of the May 2024 Investor at a conversion price equal to $14.38 per share. The May 2024 Convertible Debenture was subject to a forced conversion feature upon notice from the Company in the event that the average closing trading price of the Canopy 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 remained outstanding (the “2024 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 wished to complete during the 2024 Debenture ROFR Term (the “Proposed Financing”); provided, however, that the May 2024 Investor was required to subscribe for 25% of the Proposed Financing on the same terms and conditions contemplated in the Proposed Financing (the “2024 Debenture ROFR”).

In connection with the Exchange Transaction (as defined below) on January 8, 2026, the May 2024 Investor exchanged the May 2024 Convertible Debenture with the Company for (A) (i) the January 2026 Convertible Debentures (as defined below), (ii) the January 2026 Investor Warrants (as defined below) and (iii) the Exchange Shares (as defined below); and (B) a cash payment in the aggregate amount of $10,500. As a result, the May 2024 Convertible Debenture is no longer outstanding and the 2024 Debenture ROFR has been terminated.

January 2026 Convertible Debenture

On January 7, 2026, the Company entered into an exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with the May 2024 Investor pursuant to which, among other things, on January 8, 2026 (the “Exchange Closing Date”), the May 2024 Investor delivered to the Company the May 2024 Convertible Debenture held by the May 2024 Investor in exchange for (A) the Company issuing to the May 2024 Investor (i) new senior unsecured convertible debentures of the Company with an aggregate principal amount of $55,000 maturing on July 8, 2031 (the “January 2026 Convertible Debentures”), (ii) 12,731,481 common share purchase warrants of the Company (the “January 2026 Investor Warrants”), and (iii) 9,493,670 Canopy Shares (the “Exchange Shares”) and (B) a $10,500 cash payment from the Company (collectively, the “Exchange Transaction”).

Each January 2026 Investor Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one Canopy Share at an exercise price equal to $2.16 per Canopy Share until January 8, 2031. The January 2026 Convertible Debentures bear interest at a rate of 7.50% per annum, payable in semi-annual payments in cash, and are convertible, at the option of the May 2024 Investor, into Canopy Shares at a conversion price equal to $1.83 per Canopy Share.

The January 2026 Convertible Debentures are subject to a forced conversion feature upon notice from the Company in the event that the average closing trading price of the Canopy Shares on the TSX exceeds $2.75 for a period of 10 consecutive trading days.

Loan Agreement

On January 8, 2026, the Company entered into a loan and guaranty agreement (the “Loan Agreement”), by and among the Company, as a borrower, certain subsidiaries of the Company party thereto, as borrowers and/or guarantors, the parties identified therein as lenders (the “Lenders”), and JGB Collateral LLC, as administrative and collateral agent (“JGB”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Lenders advanced US$150,000 in cash pursuant to a senior secured term loan in the aggregate principal amount of approximately US$162,115 (collectively, the “Loans” and such transaction, the “Loan Transaction”). The Loans were funded on January 8, 2026 (the “Loan Closing Date”) with an original issue discount of approximately US$12,115. The Loans will mature on the earlier of (i) January 31, 2031, and (ii) the date that is 120 days prior to the maturity date of the January 2026 Convertible Debentures (as defined below).

The outstanding principal amount of the Loans bear interest at an annual rate equal to the applicable Term SOFR rate (subject to a minimum floor of 3.25%) plus 6.25%. Interest on the Loans will be paid monthly in arrears in cash. Following the first anniversary of the first interest payment date, each Lender will have the option to require the borrowers to repay such Lender its pro rata share of up to US$3,000 of principal per calendar month on each payment date thereafter. Prepayment and repayment of the Loans will be subject to (i) an interest make-whole equal to 12 monthly interest payments less any payments made by the borrowers on account of interest prior to the date of such prepayment for any prepayments or repayments made during the first year of the Loans and (ii) an exit fee equal to approximately US$6,485, provided that, with respect to any partial prepayment or repayment of the Loans, only the pro rata portion of such exit fee will be payable at the time of each such partial payment. The Loans and obligations under the Loan Agreement and other related loan documents are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and each of its material subsidiaries.

The Loan Agreement also includes certain prepayment fees, a minimum unrestricted cash requirement of the lesser of US$90,000 or the outstanding principal amount of the Loans, and various other representations, warranties, covenants and events of default customary for a financing of this nature.

In connection with the Loan Agreement, on the Loan Closing Date, the Company issued 18,705,578 common share purchase warrants of the Company (the “Loan Warrants”) to the Lenders in accordance with each Lender’s pro rata share of the Loans. Each

Loan Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one Canopy Share at an exercise price equal to US$1.30 per Canopy Share for a period of five years from the Loan Closing Date.

A portion of the net proceeds from the Loans was used to repay all outstanding amounts owing under the Credit Facility.

On June 15, 2026, the Company amended the Loan Agreement pursuant to a first amendment to loan and guaranty agreement (the “Amendment”), by and among the Company, as a borrower, certain subsidiaries of the Company party thereto, as borrowers and/or guarantors, certain lenders party thereto, and JGB. Pursuant to the Amendment, the Lenders have, among other things, restricted the Company’s and certain of its subsidiaries’ ability to exchange any Non-Voting Shares into Canopy USA Class B Shares at any time prior to the Stock Exchange Permissibility Date.
