Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

The information set forth in Item 1.02 below is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

 

Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On January 9, 2024, Canopy Growth Corporation (the “Company”), entered into Subscription Agreements (collectively, the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain institutional investors (collectively, the “Investors”) pursuant to which the Company agreed sell to the Investors an aggregate of 6,993,007 units (each a “Unit” and, collectively, the “Units”) of the Company at a price of $4.29 per Unit in a private placement (the “Private Placement”) for approximate gross proceeds of US$30 million. Following the announcement of the Private Placement and prior to closing, the Company received information from a third party that such third party could not complete certain tasks in a timely manner, which would result in delays outside of the Company’s control and impact the Company’s ability to satisfy customary closing requirements. Due to this, and based on mutual agreement with the Investors, the Company terminated the Subscription Agreements on January 12, 2024. As a result of such termination, no securities will be sold pursuant to the Private Placement. The Company expects to be in position to complete customary closing requirements in the next few weeks, and the Company continues to have sufficient liquidity, including through its cash on hand, debt facilities, and other expected sources of financing. The Company expects to report its fiscal third quarter financial results on February 9, 2024.

 

Each Unit was to be comprised of (a) one common share of the Company (a “Common Share”) and (b) either (i) one Series A Common Share purchase warrant (a “Series A Warrant”) or (ii) one Series B Common Share purchase warrant (a “Series B Warrant” and, together with the Series A Warrants, the “Warrants”). Each Warrant was to entitle the holder to acquire one Common Share from the Company at a price equal to US$4.83. The Series A Warrants were to be exercisable immediately following the closing of the Private Placement for a period of five years from such date and the Series B Warrants were to be exercisable for a period commencing on the date that is six-months following the closing of the Private Placement and ending on the date that is five years following such date.

 

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

The information set forth in Item 1.02 above and Item 8.01 below related to the Private Placement are incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02. The issuance of the Common Shares and the Warrants underlying the Units and the Common Shares underlying the Warrants was to be made in reliance on the exemption from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

In connection with the Private Placement, the Company entered into an engagement letter with the Placement Agents (the “Engagement Letter”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay the Placement Agents a cash fee equal to 4.5% of the gross proceeds received by the Company in the Private Placement (the “Cash Fee”), in addition to the reimbursement for certain reasonable expenses. The Engagement Letter contains customary representations, warranties, terms and conditions, including for indemnification of the Placement Agents by the Company. Because the Private Placement did not close, no proceeds were received by the Company and no Cash Fee is owed to the Placement Agents.
