/THIS NEWS RELEASE IS INTENDED FOR DISTRIBUTION IN CANADA ONLY AND MAY NOT BE DISTRIBUTED IN THE UNITED STATES OR DISSEMINATED OVER UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES/

Feb. 7, 2018, SMITHS FALLS, ON /CNW/ - Canopy Growth Corporation (TSX: WEED) ("Canopy Growth") announced that it has closed its previously announced short form prospectus offering on a bought deal basis. A total of 5,800,000 common shares in the capital of Canopy Growth (the "Shares") were sold at a price of $34.60 per Share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $200,680,000 (the "Offering"). The Offering was underwritten by a syndicate of underwriters co-led by GMP Securities L.P. and BMO Capital Markets and including Canaccord Genuity Corp., Eight Capital, Beacon Securities Limited, and PI Financial Corp.

Canopy Growth intends to use the proceeds from the Offering for capital expenditures for domestic and international capacity expansion over the next 18 months as well as for general corporate requirements. In addition, Canopy Growth intends to use proceeds from the Offering for general working capital purposes, such as brand augmentation, channel development, technology investments, research, and developing new product offerings. Canopy Growth may reallocate these funds as market and regulatory indicators warrant in light of the legalization and implementation of a national recreational cannabis market.
