Item 1. |
Security and Issuer. |
Item 1 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
The title and class of equity securities to which this Amendment relates is the Common Shares, no par value (the Common Shares),

Page 11
Item 4. |
Purpose of Transaction. |
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby revised and supplemented with the following:
Greenstar LP entered into an Exchange Agreement, dated April 13, 2023 (the Exchange Agreement), with the Issuer, pursuant to
which Greenstar LP agreed to extend the maturity of its remaining C$100 million principal amount of the Issuers 4.25% senior notes due 2023 by exchanging them for a promissory note of the Issuer (other than in respect of accrued but
unpaid interest which will be paid in cash). The promissory note bears interest at an annual rate of 4.25% and matures on December 31, 2024. The Issuer may prepay the promissory note in whole or in part at any time prior to the maturity date.
As previously disclosed, on October 24, 2022, Greenstar LP and CBG entered into a consent agreement (the Consent
Agreement) with the Issuer, pursuant to which Greenstar LP and CBG have, subject to the terms and on the conditions set forth in the Consent Agreement, provided their consent in respect of a proposed corporate transaction by the Issuer (the
Transaction) to consolidate its U.S. cannabis assets into a newly formed holding company, Canopy USA, LLC. In connection with the Transaction, the Issuer has proposed to amend its share capital to (a) provide for the creation of a
new class of non-voting and non-participating exchangeable shares which will be convertible into Common Shares (Exchangeable Shares), and (b) to restate
the rights of the Common Shares to provide for the conversion of Common Shares into Exchangeable Shares on a one-for-one basis at any time at the option of the holder of
such shares (the Canopy Amendment). The Issuer has stated its intention to hold a special meeting of shareholders to consider the Canopy Amendment. Greenstar LP and CBG have entered into a voting support agreement with the Issuer to vote
in favor of the Canopy Amendment. If the Canopy Amendment is authorized by the Issuers shareholders, Greenstar LP maintains its intention to negotiate an exchange of the C$100 million principal amount of the promissory note for
Exchangeable Shares, although neither Greenstar LP nor the Issuer has any binding obligation to do so.
Except as set forth in this
Amendment, the Reporting Persons have no present plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions described in Item 4(a) through (j) of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons may evaluate on a continuing basis their
investment in the Issuer and expect that they may from time to time acquire or dispose of Common Shares or other securities of the Issuer. The Reporting Persons may purchase or sell Common Shares in the future, either on the open market or in
private transactions, in each case, depending on a number of factors, including general market and economic and industry conditions and other available investment opportunities. Depending on market conditions, general economic and industry
conditions, the Issuers business and financial condition and/or other relevant factors, the Reporting Persons may develop other plans or intentions in the future relating to one or more of the actions described in Item 4(a) through (j) of
Schedule 13D.

(iii) 38,454,444 Modified Tranche B Warrants exercisable upon the exercise, in full, of the Modified Tranche A Warrants, at an exercise price of C$76.68 per share, and (iv) 12,818,148 Tranche C Warrants exercisable upon the exercise, in full, of the

acquired on December 28, 2022, and restricted stock units convertible into 10,045 Common Shares, which were acquired on June 8, 2022 as compensation for her position as a director of the Issuer. The Reporting Persons disclaim beneficial
ownership of each Covered Persons Common Shares and such Common Shares are excluded from the aggregate amounts reported by the Reporting Persons in this Amendment and Schedule 13D.
Except as set forth herein, neither the Reporting Persons, nor to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any of the Covered Persons, has
engaged in any transaction involving any Common Shares in the 60-day period ended April 12, 2023.
The aggregate percentage of Common Shares reported owned by the Reporting Persons is based upon 521,003,722 Common Shares outstanding, which
is the total number of Common Shares outstanding as of April 12, 2023, as provided to the Reporting Persons by the Issuer, plus in the case of CBG, GII, GIIH and Constellation 139,745,453 Common Shares underlying the warrants held by CBG that
are exercisable within 60 days of the date hereof and are treated as issued and outstanding only for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of the Reporting Persons pursuant to
