The proposal aims to authorize the issuance of an unlimited number of non-voting exchangeable shares and to restate the rights of common shares to include a conversion feature. The move is part of Canopy Growth's strategy, announced on October 25, 2022, to accelerate its entry into the U.S. cannabis market by establishing a U.S.-domiciled holding company, Canopy USA, LLC. Canopy USA will hold all U.S. cannabis investments and, upon approval of the proposal, will have the rights to acquire several U.S. THC businesses. This strategy is expected to position Canopy Growth for profitable growth and a fast start upon federal permissibility of cannabis in the U.S. Shareholders are encouraged to vote before the April 10 deadline and can seek assistance from Laurel Hill Advisory Group if needed.
