Canopy Needs Your Vote – Vote Today and Help Us Reach Quorum
Even if you plan to attend the virtual Meeting, you are encouraged to vote in advance of the Meeting and as soon as possible to ensure your vote is submitted.
As a requirement of the Company’s NASDAQ listing, a quorum at the Meeting consists of the presence, in person, by remote communication or by proxy duly authorized, of the holders of 33 1/3% of the outstanding shares entitled to vote at the Meeting.
Due to the nature of Canopy Growth’s shareholder base, your presence in person (including by remote communication) or by proxy at the Meeting is critical to help the Company achieve a quorum. If quorum is not achieved, the Company will be required to adjourn the Meeting which would result in the Company incurring additional costs.
Shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 1, 2025 are eligible to vote at the Meeting.
The Meeting Materials have been filed on EDGAR and SEDAR+ under the Company’s profile, and are available at: https://www.canopygrowth.com/investors/investor-events/annual-general-and-special-meeting-2025
At the Meeting, shareholders will be asked to vote on four items (each as described in the Company’s proxy statement):
| 1. | The election of directors; |
| 2. | The re-appointment of PKF O’Connor Davies LLP as the Company’s auditor and independent registered public accounting firm and to authorize the Company’s board of directors or any responsible committee thereof to fix their remuneration; |
| 3. | A share consolidation (also known as a reverse stock split) proposal; and |
| 4. | An advisory (non-binding) vote on the Company’s approach to executive compensation. |
The board of directors of the Company recommends shareholders vote FOR each resolution.
