Explanation of Responses:
( 1 )On April 18, 2024, Greenstar Canada Investment Limited Partnership ("GCILP") and CBG Holdings LLC ("CBG") exchanged their Common Shares of Canopy Growth Corporation (the "Issuer") for non-voting and non-participating exchangeable shares ("Exchangeable Shares") of the Issuer on a one-for-one basis.
( 2 )In December 2023, the Issuer effected a reverse stock split at a ratio of one-for-ten. As a result, the Common Shares held by GCILP and CBG decreased by 60,299,333 Common Shares and 94,050,000 Common Shares, respectively.
( 3 )These shares are owned directly by GCILP, whose general partner is Greenstar Canada Investment Corporation ("GCIC"), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Constellation Brands Canada Holdings ULC ("CBCH"), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Constellation Capital LLC ("CC"), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Constellation International Holdings Limited ("CIHL"), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Constellation Brands, Inc. ("CBI"). GCIC, CBCH, CC, CIHL and CBI are indirect beneficial owners of the reported shares.
( 4 )These shares are owned directly by CBG, which is a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of CBI. CBI is the only Reporting Person that has a pecuniary interest in these shares.
( 5 )The Exchangeable Shares are convertible into Common Shares on a one-for-one basis at any time at the election of the holder. The Exchangeable Shares are perpetual and therefore have no expiration date.
( 6 )On April 18, 2024, GCILP entered into an Exchange Agreement, dated April 18, 2024 (the "Exchange Agreement"), with the Issuer whereby GCILP agreed to exchange a portion of the Issuer's C$100 million promissory note for 9,111,549 Exchangeable Shares. The number of Exchangeable Shares issued to GCILP was calculated based on a price per share of C$8.91. The price of derivative security reported in column 8 was based on an exchange rat e of 1.3773 Canadian dollars to 1 U.S. dollar.
