Keytakeaways

Canopy Growth has agreed to terms to acquire Wana Brands ("Wana") through a structured transaction tied to U.S. federal permissibility.

The arrangement with Wana further

enhances Canopy Growth's U.S. ecosystem strategy ahead of U.S. federal permissibility.

Key Strategic Benefits:

  • Strengthens Canopy Growth's U.S. Ecosystem: Wana's leadership position and ongoing expansion bolsters Canopy Growth's product, brand, and geographic exposure to the U.S. cannabis market upon federal permissibility.
  • Dominant Edibles Category: The gummy category is one of the fastest growing segments in both the U.S. and Canadian cannabis markets accounting for over 70% of all edibles purchased1.
  • Market Leadership in the Edibles Product Category: Wana is #1 cannabis edibles brand in North America based on market share.
  • Increased Exposure to U.S. Cannabis Market Upon Federal Permissibility: Upon exercising its right to acquire Wana, Canopy Growth will own Wana's vertically integrated facility in Colorado as well as its rapidly growing licensing division which is expected to cover more than 20 states by the end of calendar year 2022. This expands upon the coverage provided by the Company's existing right to acquire Acreage Holdings, Inc., and conditional ownership interest in TerrAscend Corp.
  • Profitable and Highly Scalable Business Model: Wana has a track record of achieving strong revenue growth and category-leading gross and EBITDA margins. Wana's proven licensing model provides opportunity to scale the brand ahead of U.S. federal permissibility.
