CANOPY GROWTH ANNOUNCES CHANGES TO EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT TEAM

Canopy Growth Corp. has made strategic changes to its executive management committee. Effective immediately, Mike Lee, executive vice-president and chief financial officer, and Rade Kovacevic, president and chief product officer, will be stepping down from their respective roles on the executive management committee and will depart from the company on Dec. 31, 2021. In the interim, they will serve in an advisory capacity to support the transition.

"These decisions reflect management and the board's vision for building a best-in-class organization that is well positioned to deliver long-term growth and shareholder value," said David Klein, chief executive officer, Canopy Growth. "We appreciate Mike and Rade's contributions to advancing Canopy Growth to our position as a cannabis industry leader."

The company has initiated an external search for both roles and, to support a seamless transition, has named Judy Hong as interim chief financial officer and Tara Rozalowsky as interim chief product officer. In addition to serving as members of the company's executive management committee, both will report directly to chief executive officer Mr. Klein effective immediately.

"Judy and Tara are established leaders who have played pivotal roles during their tenure at Canopy Growth. I am confident in their ability to execute against our strategic priorities as we accelerate our path to profitability," added Mr. Klein.

In addition to leading Canopy's investor relations team, Ms. Hong also serves as chief of staff to the chief executive officer and is a member of the executive management committee.
