Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
As previously disclosed in Canopy Growth Corporation's (the "Company" or "Canopy
Growth") Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") on October 26, 2022, the Company entered into an
arrangement agreement (the "Floating Share Arrangement Agreement") with Canopy
USA, LLC ("Canopy USA") and Acreage Holdings, Inc. ("Acreage"), pursuant to
which, subject to the terms and conditions of the Floating Share Arrangement
Agreement, including all closing conditions contained in the arrangement
agreement between the Company and Acreage dated April 18, 2019, as amended on
May 15, 2019, September 23, 2020 and November 17, 2020 (the "Existing
Arrangement Agreement"), Canopy USA will acquire all of the issued and
outstanding Class D subordinate voting shares of Acreage (the "Floating Shares")
by way of a court-approved plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations
Act (British Columbia) (the "BCBCA") at a fixed exchange ratio of 0.45 of a
common share of Canopy Growth for each Floating Share held (the "Floating Share
Arrangement").
On March 17, 2023, the Company, Canopy USA and Acreage entered into a first
amendment to the Floating Share Arrangement Agreement (the
"Amendment"). Pursuant to the terms of the Amendment, the Company, Canopy USA,
and Acreage agreed to amend the Exercise Outside Date (as defined in the

completion of the Floating Share Arrangement is subject to satisfaction or, if
permitted, waiver of certain closing conditions, including, among others,
completion of the Canopy Capital Reorganization (as defined in the Floating
Share Arrangement Agreement) on or prior to the Exercise Outside Date. There can
be no certainty, nor can the Company provide any assurance, that all conditions
precedent contained in the Floating Share Arrangement Agreement and the Existing
Arrangement Agreement will be satisfied or waived, which may result in the
acquisition of Acreage not being completed.
