Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
In June 2018, Canopy Growth Corporation (the "Company," "we" or "us") issued an
aggregate of C$600 million principal amount of our 4.25% convertible senior
notes due 2023 (the "Notes"), which we issued pursuant to an Indenture dated
June 20, 2018 (the "Indenture"), as supplemented by that certain First
Supplemental Indenture thereto, dated April 30, 2019. On June 29, 2022, we
entered into the Second Supplemental Indenture (the "Second Supplemental
Indenture") to the Indenture, by and among us, Computershare Trust Company,
N.A., as U.S. trustee and Computershare Trust Company of Canada, as Canadian
trustee.
Pursuant to the Indenture, the Notes are convertible in certain circumstances
into consideration that consists, at our election, of our common shares, cash or
a combination of cash and our common shares. Pursuant to the Second Supplemental
Indenture, we have irrevocably surrendered our right to settle the conversion of
Notes with any amount of our common shares. Accordingly, all conversions of
Notes following the execution and delivery of the Second Supplemental Indenture
will be settled entirely in cash.

Supplemental Indenture, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current
