CANOPY GROWTH FURTHER IMPROVES BALANCE SHEET WITH EARLY PREPAYMENT TO REDUCE TERM LOAN BY US$100 MILLION AND ENSURES MATURITY EXTENSION TO AT LEAST DECEMBER 2026

Canopy Growth Corp. has made an early prepayment under its senior secured term loan in an aggregate principal amount equal to $100-million (U.S.) at a discounted price of $97.5-million (U.S.). This pro-active move, which in addition to reducing the company's leverage results in annualized interest expense savings of approximately $14-million (U.S.), underscores the company's strong commitment to fiscal discipline and further strengthens its financial position as it continues to execute on its strategic priorities.

As previously announced in August, 2024, this prepayment was agreed to between the company and its senior lenders as part of a series of amendments to the term loan, which, among other things, included an extension of the term loan's maturity date to Dec. 18, 2026. Pursuant to the term loan amendment, the company has the option to make an additional prepayment equal to $100-million (U.S.) at a discounted price of $97.5-million (U.S.) by March 31, 2025. If payment of the second prepayment is made, the maturity date of the term loan will automatically further extend to Sept. 18, 2027.

Judy Hong, chief financial officer of Canopy Growth, commented: "This early prepayment reflects our ongoing commitment to reducing cash burn and strengthening our capital structure. Our pro-active steps to reduce debt and extend maturity enhance our balance sheet flexibility to invest in growth areas and drive long-term value creation for our shareholders."

The early prepayment of the term loan demonstrates Canopy Growth's continued focus on reducing debt and improving its balance sheet, positioning the company for sustainable growth in the evolving global cannabis market.
