The TLRY 27 convertible debentures were issued on  May 30, 2023 and on June 9, 2023 by way of overallotment, in the principal amount of $172,500 (the “TLRY 27 Notes”). The TLRY 27 Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.20% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on  June 15 and  December 15 of each year, and mature on  June 15, 2027, unless earlier converted. The TLRY 27 Notes are Tilray’s general unsecured obligations and rank senior in right of payment to all of Tilray’s indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the notes; equal in right of payment with any of Tilray’s unsecured indebtedness that is not so subordinated, effectively junior in right of payment to any of Tilray’s secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and structurally junior to all indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables but excluding intercompany obligations) of Tilray’s current or future subsidiaries. Noteholders have the right to convert their TLRY 27 Notes into shares of Tilray’s Common Stock at their option, at any time, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before  June 15, 2027. The initial conversion rate is approximately 37.66 shares per $1,000 principal amount of TLRY 27 Notes, which represents a conversion price of approximately $26.55 per share. The conversion rate and conversion price is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events.

 

The TLRY 27 Notes are now redeemable, in whole and not in part, at Tilray’s option at a cash redemption price equal to the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, but only if the last reported sale price of Tilray’s Common Stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for a specified period of time, which threshold has not been met. If certain corporate events that constitute a fundamental change occur, then, subject to a limited exception, noteholders  may require Tilray to repurchase their TLRY 27 Notes for cash. The repurchase price will be equal to the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, up to, but excluding, the applicable repurchase date. In connection with the Company’s offering of the TLRY 27 Notes, the Company entered into a share lending agreement with an affiliate of Jefferies LLC (the “Share Borrower”), pursuant to which it lent 3,850,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock to the Share Borrower (the “Borrowed Shares”). At the time of issuance, the Borrowed Shares were newly-issued shares, and are held as treasury shares until the expiration or early termination of the share lending agreement and may be used by purchasers of the TLRY 27 Notes to sell up to 3,850,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The fair value of the Borrowed Shares have been recorded as part of the unamortized discount on the debenture. The Company expects that the selling stockholders will use their position created by such sales to establish their initial hedge with respect to their investments in the TLRY 27 Notes. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Borrowed Shares. 

 

During the three months ended August 31, 2026, the Company exchanged an aggregate $24,000 of its TLRY 27 Notes for cancellation, by issuing 5,229,861 shares of Common Stock and paying $218 in cash to settle accrued interest. Upon exchanging the TLRY 27 Notes, a portion of the settlement consideration was allocated to the equity component of the instrument and was recognized as a $6,358 reduction of additional paid-in capital in the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity. Additionally, this repurchase resulted in a gain of $3,495, which was recorded in other non-operating (losses) gains, net as shown in Note 23 (Non-operating income (expense)). Following consummation of the exchange, the number of outstanding Borrowed Shares of Common Stock was reduced by 535,652 shares, which were returned as Treasury Stock (as defined below). As of  August 31, 2026 and May 31, 2026, a total of 1,428,406 and 1,964,058 shares remained outstanding under the share lending arrangement, respectively. Prior year share amounts have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split, which became effective on December 2, 2025. 

 

During the three months ended August 31, 2026, the Company recognized interest expense of $958 and accretion of amortized discount interest of $1,465. During the three months ended August 31, 2025, the Company recognized interest expense of $1,367 and accretion of amortized discount interest of $1,976.

 

As of  August 31, 2026, there was $64,000 principal outstanding compared to $88,000 principal outstanding as of  May 31, 2026 under the TLRY 27 Notes.
