Acreage Provides Update on Corporate Transactions

New York, NY, November 25, 2024 - Acreage Holdings, Inc. (“Acreage” or the “Company”) (CSE: ACRG.A.U, ACRG.B.U) (OTCQX: ACRHF, ACRDF), a vertically integrated, multi-state operator of cannabis cultivation and retailing facilities in the U.S., is pleased to announce that, further to its press releases of June 4 and June 5, 2024, Acreage anticipates that Canopy USA, LLC (“Canopy USA”) will complete its acquisition of Acreage pursuant to the Acquisitions (as defined below) in mid-December, 2024.

As further described below, as a result of the dilution in respect of the Offering (as defined below) completed by the Company in June 2024, the Company expects that the Exchange Ratio (as defined below) relating to the Fixed Shares (as defined below) will be significantly reduced. The reduction of the Exchange Ratio will result in fewer common shares (the “Canopy Shares”) of Canopy Growth Corporation (“Canopy”) (TSX:WEED, NASDAQ:CGC) issuable to each holder of Class E subordinate voting shares of the Company (the “Fixed Shares”) (CSE: ACRG.A.U, OTCQX: ACRHF). As a result of the material impact of the Offering it is anticipated that the current holders of Fixed Shares will receive zero value upon closing of the Acquisitions. The Company expects that the Floating Share Exchange Ratio (as defined below) will remain as provided in the Floating Share Arrangement Agreement (as defined below).

Acreage is party to an arrangement agreement with Canopy dated April 18, 2019, as amended (the “Fixed Share Arrangement Agreement”), relating to the proposed acquisition (the “Fixed Share Acquisition”) of all issued and outstanding Fixed Shares pursuant to the plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the “Fixed Share Arrangement”). The Fixed Share Acquisition is anticipated to occur immediately after the acquisition of the Class D subordinate voting shares of Acreage (the “Floating Shares”) pursuant to the plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the “Floating Share Arrangement”) in accordance with the arrangement agreement (the “Floating Share Arrangement Agreement”) dated October 24, 2022, as amended, among the Company, Canopy and Canopy USA (the “Floating Share Acquisition” and together with the Fixed Share Acquisition, the “Acquisitions”). Upon the closing of the Acquisitions, Canopy USA will own 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Acreage. Closing of the Acquisitions is expected to occur in mid-December, 2024, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of closing conditions, including, but not limited to, receipt by Acreage, Canopy and Canopy USA of required regulatory approvals.

A letter of transmittal with respect to each of the Acquisitions will be mailed to registered shareholders of Fixed Shares and Floating Shares. All registered shareholders with physical certificate(s) will be required to send their certificate(s) representing their Fixed Shares and/or Floating Shares with a completed letter of transmittal to the Company's transfer agent, Odyssey Trust Company (“Odyssey”), in accordance with the instructions provided in the applicable letter of transmittal. Additional copies of the letters of transmittal can be obtained through Odyssey. Shareholders who hold their Fixed Shares and/or Floating Shares through a broker or other intermediary and do not have Acreage shares registered in their name will not need to complete the applicable letter(s) of transmittal. Such shareholders should contact their broker or

other intermediary to arrange for the deposit of their DRS statement(s) or certificate(s) representing their Acreage shares.

As previously disclosed, on June 6, 2024, Acreage completed its brokered private placement (the “Offering”) of 12,000 units (the “Units”) of the Company at a price of US$833.33 per Unit, with each Unit consisting of: (i) US$1,000 principal amount of non-recourse unsecured convertible notes (the “Notes”), reflecting a 16.67% original issue discount, convertible into Fixed Shares; and (ii) Fixed Share purchase warrants (the “Warrants”) of the Company. The “Conversion Price” of the Notes is the price per Fixed Share determined by multiplying (i) the “Exchange Ratio” (as such term is defined in Fixed Share Arrangement Agreement) as the same shall be adjusted in accordance with the terms of the Fixed Share Arrangement Agreement by, (ii) the Fair Market Value (as such term is defined in the Fixed Share Arrangement Agreement) of the Canopy Shares on the business day prior to the closing of the Fixed Share Acquisition after giving effect to the conversion of the Notes and the determination of the number of Warrants issued under the Offering. The Conversion Price will be determined immediately preceding closing of the Fixed Share Acquisition.

As noted in the Company’s press release dated June 5, 2024, the completion of the Offering resulted in significant dilution of the Fixed Shares, particularly given that the Conversion Price of the Notes is based on the Exchange Ratio, which will be adjusted pursuant to the Fixed Share Arrangement Agreement for issuances in excess of the Purchaser Approved Share Threshold (as such term is defined in the Fixed Share Arrangement Agreement). The Offering is expected to result in the issuance of Fixed Shares under the Notes, and Warrants exercisable to acquire Fixed Shares, at the time of closing the Fixed Share Arrangement, well in excess of the Purchaser Approved Share Threshold, with the effect that the Exchange Ratio will be significantly reduced.

Based on the prevailing trading price of the Canopy Shares, the Exchange Ratio reduction is expected to have a material and adverse effect on the number of Canopy Shares that holders of Fixed Shares are expected to receive pursuant to the Fixed Share Arrangement and on the value of the Fixed Shares. The following table below sets forth the potential Exchange Ratio based on a range of Canopy Share prices:


Canopy Share Price (US$)			Fixed Share Exchange Ratio
US$5.00 and below			≈ 0.00000
US$6.00			0.00198
US$7.00			0.00683

All registered holders of Fixed Shares who submit a duly completed letter of transmittal along with their share certificate(s) to Odyssey will be entitled to receive a fraction of a Canopy Share in exchange for each Fixed Share held by such holder of Fixed Shares based on the Exchange Ratio then in place. As of close of business on November 22, 2024, the Canopy Share price on the Nasdaq was US$3.90. Accordingly, if the Canopy Share Price does not go above US$5.00, holders of Fixed Shares will not receive any Canopy Shares in exchange for their Fixed Shares.

All holders of Floating Shares who submit a duly completed letter of transmittal along with their share certificate(s) to Odyssey will receive 0.045 of a Canopy Share in exchange for each Floating Share held by such holder of Floating Shares (the “Floating Share Exchange Ratio”).

Where the aggregate number of Canopy Shares to be issued to a holder of Fixed Shares or Floating Shares would result in a fraction of a Canopy Share being issuable, the number of Canopy Shares to be received by such holder of Fixed Shares or Floating Shares shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Canopy Share and no compensation shall be issued in lieu of the issuance of a fractional Canopy Share.

Copies of the Floating Share Arrangement Agreement and the Fixed Share Arrangement Agreement may be accessed under Acreage’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission through EDGAR at www.sec.gov/edgar.

LEGAL*65647575.2

2.U.S. Federal Income Tax and Backup Withholding - Form W-9 Instructions

(a)The following does not constitute a summary of the tax consequences of the Arrangement and Registered Acreage Floating Shareholders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of the Arrangement as well as any elections that may be available to mitigate certain possible adverse U.S. tax consequences. Each U.S. Shareholder is required to provide the Depositary with a correct Taxpayer Identification Number (“TIN”) on the Form W-9, which may be obtained from the Depositary or at http://www.irs.gov, and to certify whether such holder is subject to backup withholding of federal income tax. If a U.S. Shareholder has been notified by the IRS that such holder is subject to backup withholding, such U.S. Shareholder must cross out item 2 of the Form W-9, unless such holder has since been notified by the IRS that such holder is no longer subject to backup withholding. You are a U.S. person if you are: (a) an individual citizen or resident alien of the United States as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes; (b) a corporation (including an entity taxable as a corporation) or partnership created in the United States or under the laws of the United States or any state or the District of Columbia; (c) an estate the income of which is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of its source; or (d) a trust if: (i) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary jurisdiction over its administration and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust; or (ii) the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person. Exempt holders (including, among others, all corporations) are not subject to backup withholding requirements. To prevent possible erroneous backup withholding, an exempt holder must enter its correct TIN or Employer Identification Number in the Form W-9 and sign and date the form. If a U.S. Shareholder has not been issued a TIN and has applied for one or intends to apply for one in the near future, such holder should write “Applied For” in the space provided for the TIN in the Form W-9, and sign and date the Form W-9 and the Certificate of Awaiting Taxpayer Identification Number. If “Applied For” is written in the Form W-9 and the Depositary is not provided with a TIN within 60 days, the Depositary may withhold 28% of all consideration due to such holder in connection with the Arrangement until a TIN is provided to the Depositary. If the Form W-9 is not applicable to a holder because such holder is not a U.S. Shareholder, but such holder provides an address that is located in the United States, such holder will instead need to submit an appropriate and properly completed IRS Form W-8 Certificate of Foreign Status, signed under penalty of perjury to avoid U.S. federal backup withholding tax. An appropriate IRS Form W-8 (W-8BEN, W-8ECI or other form) may be obtained from the Depositary, or at http://www.irs.gov.

(b)A U.S. SHAREHOLDER WHO FAILS TO PROPERLY COMPLETE THE FORM W-9 MAY BE SUBJECT TO PENALTIES IMPOSED BY THE IRS AND BACKUP WITHHOLDING OF 28% ON ANY CONSIDERATION SUBJECT TO TAX DUE TO SUCH HOLDER IN CONNECTION WITH THE ARRANGEMENT. BACKUP WITHHOLDING IS NOT AN ADDITIONAL TAX. RATHER, THE TAX LIABILITY OF PERSONS SUBJECT TO BACKUP WITHHOLDING WILL BE REDUCED BY THE AMOUNT OF TAX WITHHELD. IF WITHHOLDING RESULTS IN AN OVERPAYMENT OF TAXES, A REFUND MAY BE OBTAINED BY TIMELY FILING A CLAIM FOR REFUND WITH THE IRS. THE DEPOSITARY CANNOT REFUND AMOUNTS WITHHELD BY REASON OF BACKUP WITHHOLDING. EACH HOLDER OF Acreage FLOATING SHARES IS URGED TO CONSULT HIS, HER OR ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR TO DETERMINE WHETHER SUCH HOLDER IS REQUIRED TO FURNISH A FORM W-9 OR IS EXEMPT FROM BACKUP WITHHOLDING AND INFORMATION REPORTING. TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH TREASURY DEPARTMENT CIRCULAR 230, U.S. SHAREHOLDERS ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT: (A) ANY DISCUSSION OF U.S. FEDERAL TAX ISSUES IN THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL IS NOT INTENDED OR WRITTEN TO BE RELIED UPON, AND CANNOT BE RELIED UPON BY SUCH U.S. SHAREHOLDERS, FOR THE PURPOSE OF AVOIDING PENALTIES THAT MAY BE IMPOSED ON SUCH U.S. SHAREHOLDERS UNDER THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE; (B) SUCH DISCUSSION IS BEING USED IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROMOTION OR MARKETING (WITHIN THE MEANING OF CIRCULAR 230) OF THE TRANSACTIONS OR MATTERS ADDRESSED HEREIN; AND (C) EACH U.S. SHAREHOLDER SHOULD SEEK ADVICE BASED ON ITS PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES FROM AN INDEPENDENT TAX ADVISOR.

LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL

WITH RESPECT TO THE CLASS E SUBORDINATE VOTING SHARES OF ACREAGE HOLDINGS, INC.

This Letter of Transmittal is for use by registered holders (the “Registered Acreage Fixed Shareholders”) of Class E subordinate voting shares (the “Acreage Fixed Shares”) of Acreage Holdings, Inc. (“Acreage”) and must accompany certificate(s) or DRS statement(s) representing the Acreage Fixed Shares deposited in connection with the proposed plan of arrangement (the “Plan of Arrangement”) pursuant to section 288 of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the “Arrangement”) in accordance with the terms of an arrangement agreement between Acreage and Canopy Growth Corporation (“Canopy”) dated April 18, 2019, as amended on May 15, 2019, September 23, 2020 (the “Acreage Amending Agreement”) and November 17, 2020 (and as it may be further amended, modified, restated or supplemented from time to time in accordance with its terms) (collectively, the “Arrangement Agreement”). If the acquisition of the Acreage Fixed Shares pursuant to the Arrangement (the “Acquisition”) is completed, Registered Acreage Fixed Shareholders (other than Dissenting Shareholders and Canopy) who have properly completed, duly executed and delivered this Letter of Transmittal and all other required documents to Odyssey Trust Company (the “Depositary”) will receive a fraction of a common share of Canopy (each whole common share of Canopy, a “Canopy Share”) in exchange for each Acreage Fixed Share held by Registered Acreage Fixed Shareholders at the Acquisition Effective Time (as defined in the Arrangement Agreement) (the “Exchange Ratio”), as adjusted in accordance with the terms of the Arrangement Agreement (such Canopy Shares issuable to the Registered Acreage Fixed Shareholders, being the “Consideration Shares”).

The Exchange Ratio is not currently known as it is subject to adjustment pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, if, among other things, Acreage issues greater than the permitted number of Acreage Fixed Shares. Following the completion of Acreage’s private placement offering in June 2024 (the “2024 Offering”), it is expected that Acreage will issue additional Acreage Fixed Shares in excess of the maximum number of Acreage Fixed Shares permitted under the Arrangement Agreement, with the effect that the Exchange Ratio will be significantly reduced.

The following table illustrates a non-exhaustive range of potential Exchange Ratios based on a range of Canopy Share prices during the previous 52-week period after giving effect to the 2024 Offering:


Canopy Share Price (US$)			Fixed Share Exchange Ratio
US$5.00 and below			≈ 0.00000
US$6.00			0.00198
US$7.00			0.00683

While the above chart shows indicative potential adjustment to the Exchange Ratio at the closing of the Acquisition, there is not currently any certainty on what the final Exchange Ratio will be.

Pursuant to the Acreage Amending Agreement, Canopy holds the right to acquire all of the issued and outstanding Acreage Fixed Shares (the “Acreage Option”) and on June 4, 2024, the Acreage Option was exercised in accordance with the terms of the Arrangement Agreement.

On October 24, 2022, Acreage entered into an arrangement agreement (the “Floating Share Arrangement Agreement”) with Canopy and Canopy USA, LLC (“Canopy USA”), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions of the Floating Share Arrangement Agreement, Canopy USA will acquire all of the issued and outstanding Class D subordinate voting shares of Acreage (the “Acreage Floating Shares”) by way of a court-approved plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the “Floating Share Arrangement”) in exchange for 0.045 of a Canopy Share for each Acreage Floating Share held. At the Acquisition Effective Time, Canopy USA will acquire all of the issued and outstanding Acreage Fixed Shares from the Registered Acreage Fixed Shareholders (other than any Acreage Fixed Shares held by Dissenting Shareholders and Canopy). The Acquisition is anticipated to occur immediately following the acquisition of the Acreage Floating Shares pursuant to the Floating Share Arrangement such that 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Acreage will be owned by Canopy USA on closing of the acquisition of both the Acreage Fixed Shares and the Acreage Floating Shares. For additional details, please see the proxy statement and management information circular of Acreage dated August 17, 2020 (the “2020 Circular”) and the proxy statement and management information circular of Acreage dated February 14, 2023 (together with the 2020 Circular, the “Circulars”).

Copies of the Circulars, the Arrangement Agreement, the Floating Share Arrangement Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement, may be accessed under Acreage’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and with the U.S.

OR YOUR BROKER OR OTHER FINANCIAL ADVISOR WILL BE ABLE TO

ASSIST YOU IN COMPLETING THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL.

This Letter of Transmittal is for use by Registered Acreage Fixed Shareholders only and is not to be used by beneficial holders of Acreage Fixed Shares (“Non-Registered Acreage Fixed Shareholders”). A Non-Registered Acreage Fixed Shareholder does not have Acreage Fixed Shares registered in its name; rather, such Acreage Fixed Shares are registered in the name of a broker, investment dealer, bank, trust company, nominee or other intermediary (each, an “Intermediary”) through which it purchased the Acreage Fixed Shares or in the name of a clearing agency (such as CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc.) of which the Intermediary is a participant. If you are a Non-Registered Acreage Fixed Shareholder, you should contact your Intermediary for instructions and assistance in depositing your DRS statement(s) or certificate(s) representing Acreage Fixed Shares and receiving the Consideration Shares for such Acreage Fixed Shares. To receive the Consideration Shares, Registered Acreage Fixed Shareholders are required to deposit the original certificate(s) or DRS statement(s), if applicable, representing the Acreage Fixed Shares held by them, along with this properly completed and duly signed Letter of Transmittal to the Depositary. A DRS statement (or certificate, if requested by the Registered Acreage Fixed Shareholder in this Letter of Transmittal), representing the aggregate Consideration Shares, less any amounts withheld, if applicable, payable to a Registered Acreage Fixed Shareholder who has complied with the procedures set out herein will be, as soon as practicable after the Acquisition Effective Date (as defined below) and after the receipt of all required documents: (i) E-mailed to the Registered Acreage Fixed Shareholder at the e-mail address specified in this Letter of Transmittal (ii) forwarded to the Registered Acreage Fixed Shareholder at the address specified in this Letter of Transmittal by first-class mail, postage prepaid; (iii) if no address has been specified in this Letter of Transmittal, forwarded to the address of the Registered Acreage Fixed Shareholder on the register of the Acreage Fixed Shares or; (iv) made available at the office of the Depositary at which this Letter of Transmittal and the original certificate(s) or DRS statement(s), if applicable, representing the Acreage Fixed Shares were delivered, for pickup by the Registered Acreage Fixed Shareholder, as requested by the Registered Acreage Fixed Shareholder in this Letter of Transmittal.

Registered Acreage Fixed Shareholders are not entitled to receive fractional Canopy Shares in connection with the Arrangement, in accordance with the terms of the Arrangement Agreement. Where the aggregate number of Canopy Shares to be issued to a Registered Acreage Fixed Shareholder as Consideration Shares under the Arrangement would result in a fraction of a Canopy Share being issuable, the number of Canopy Shares to be received by such Registered Acreage Fixed Shareholder shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Canopy Share and no compensation shall be issued in lieu of the issuance of a fractional Canopy Share.

The effective date of the Acquisition (the “Acquisition Effective Date”) is currently expected to occur in mid-December, 2024, after all conditions to completion of the Arrangement have been satisfied or waived. COMPLETION OF THE ARRANGEMENT IS SUBJECT TO THE SATISFACTION OR WAIVER OF CERTAIN CONDITIONS, AS FURTHER DESCRIBED IN THE CIRCULARS AND THE ARRANGEMENT AGREEMENT. NO DELIVERY OF THE CONSIDERATION SHARES WILL BE MADE PRIOR TO THE EFFECTIVE TIME.

THE CONSIDERATION SHARES TO WHICH REGISTERED ACREAGE FIXED SHAREHOLDERS HAVE THE RIGHT TO RECEIVE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ARRANGEMENT SHALL BE RELEASED BY THE DEPOSITARY, UPON VALID RECEIPT OF A LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL TOGETHER WITH ORIGINAL DRS STATEMENT(S) OR CERTIFICATE(S), IF APPLICABLE, REPRESENTING THE DEPOSITED SHARES. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU CAREFULLY READ THE INSTRUCTIONS SET OUT BELOW, PROPERLY COMPLETE, DULY EXECUTE, AND RETURN THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL ON A TIMELY BASIS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED HEREIN. YOU ARE STRONGLY URGED TO READ THE CIRCULARS, INCLUDING THE APPENDICES ATTACHED THERETO, BEFORE COMPLETING THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL.

REGISTERED ACREAGE FIXED SHAREHOLDERS WHO DO NOT DELIVER THE CERTIFICATE(S) OR DRS STATEMENT(S), AS APPLICABLE, REPRESENTING THEIR ACREAGE FIXED SHARES AND ALL OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS TO THE DEPOSITARY ON OR BEFORE THE SIXTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE ACQUISITION EFFECTIVE DATE WILL LOSE THEIR RIGHT TO RECEIVE THE CONSIDERATION SHARES FOR


LEGAL*65647573.2

THEIR ACREAGE FIXED SHARES AND ANY CLAIM OR INTEREST OF ANY KIND OR NATURE AGAINST ACREAGE, CANOPY OR THE DEPOSITARY.

DELIVERY OF THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL TO AN ADDRESS OTHER THAN AS SET FORTH IN THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL WILL NOT CONSTITUTE A VALID DELIVERY. IF ACREAGE FIXED SHARES ARE REGISTERED IN DIFFERENT NAMES, A SEPARATE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL MUST BE SUBMITTED FOR EACH DIFFERENT REGISTERED ACREAGE FIXED SHAREHOLDER.

ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS

1.Miscellaneous

(a) If Box “D” is not completed, the Consideration Shares will be issued in the name of the registered holder of the Deposited Shares and if neither Box “A” or Box “B” is completed nor an e-mail address provided, the DRS statement(s) or certificate(s) will be mailed to the address of the registered holder of the Deposited Shares as it appears on the register of Acreage Fixed Shares. Any DRS statement(s) or certificate(s), as applicable, representing the Consideration Shares mailed in accordance with this Letter of Transmittal will be deemed to be delivered at the time of mailing.

(f) The method used to deliver this Letter of Transmittal, any accompanying DRS statements(s) or certificate(s), and all other required documents is at the option and risk of the Registered Acreage Fixed Shareholder.

Acreage and Canopy recommend that the necessary documentation be hand delivered to the Depositary at the address set out on the back of this Letter of Transmittal, and a receipt obtained; otherwise, the use of registered mail or courier with return receipt requested and properly insured, is recommended. Delivery to an address other than to the address specified on the back page of this Letter of Transmittal does not constitute delivery.

2.U.S. Federal Income Tax and Backup Withholding - Form W-9 Instructions

(a)The following does not constitute a summary of the tax consequences of the Arrangement and Registered Acreage Fixed Shareholders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding the


LEGAL*65647573.2

tax consequences of the Arrangement as well as any elections that may be available to mitigate certain possible adverse U.S. tax consequences. Each U.S. Shareholder is required to provide the Depositary with a correct Taxpayer Identification Number (“TIN”) on the Form W-9, which may be obtained from the Depositary or at http://www.irs.gov, and to certify whether such holder is subject to backup withholding of federal income tax. If a U.S. Shareholder has been notified by the IRS that such holder is subject to backup withholding, such U.S. Shareholder must cross out item 2 of the Form W-9, unless such holder has since been notified by the IRS that such holder is no longer subject to backup withholding. You are a U.S. person if you are: (a) an individual citizen or resident alien of the United States as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes; (b) a corporation (including an entity taxable as a corporation) or partnership created in the United States or under the laws of the United States or any state or the District of Columbia; (c) an estate the income of which is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of its source; or (d) a trust if: (i) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary jurisdiction over its administration and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust; or (ii) the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person. Exempt holders (including, among others, all corporations) are not subject to backup withholding requirements. To prevent possible erroneous backup withholding, an exempt holder must enter its correct TIN or Employer Identification Number in the Form W-9 and sign and date the form. If a U.S. Shareholder has not been issued a TIN and has applied for one or intends to apply for one in the near future, such holder should write “Applied For” in the space provided for the TIN in the Form W-9, and sign and date the Form W-9 and the Certificate of Awaiting Taxpayer Identification Number. If “Applied For” is written in the Form W-9 and the Depositary is not provided with a TIN within 60 days, the Depositary may withhold 28% of all consideration due to such holder in connection with the Arrangement until a TIN is provided to the Depositary. If the Form W-9 is not applicable to a holder because such holder is not a U.S. Shareholder, but such holder provides an address that is located in the United States, such holder will instead need to submit an appropriate and properly completed IRS Form W-8 Certificate of Foreign Status, signed under penalty of perjury to avoid U.S. federal backup withholding tax. An appropriate IRS Form W-8 (W-8BEN, W-8ECI or other form) may be obtained from the Depositary, or at http://www.irs.gov.

(b)A U.S. SHAREHOLDER WHO FAILS TO PROPERLY COMPLETE THE FORM W-9 MAY BE SUBJECT TO PENALTIES IMPOSED BY THE IRS AND BACKUP WITHHOLDING OF 28% ON ANY CONSIDERATION SUBJECT TO TAX DUE TO SUCH HOLDER IN CONNECTION WITH THE ARRANGEMENT. BACKUP WITHHOLDING IS NOT AN ADDITIONAL TAX. RATHER, THE TAX LIABILITY OF PERSONS SUBJECT TO BACKUP WITHHOLDING WILL BE REDUCED BY THE AMOUNT OF TAX WITHHELD. IF WITHHOLDING RESULTS IN AN OVERPAYMENT OF TAXES, A REFUND MAY BE OBTAINED BY TIMELY FILING A CLAIM FOR REFUND WITH THE IRS. THE DEPOSITARY CANNOT REFUND AMOUNTS WITHHELD BY REASON OF BACKUP WITHHOLDING. EACH HOLDER OF ACREAGE FIXED SHARES IS URGED TO CONSULT HIS, HER OR ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR TO DETERMINE WHETHER SUCH HOLDER IS REQUIRED TO FURNISH A FORM W-9 OR IS EXEMPT FROM BACKUP WITHHOLDING AND INFORMATION REPORTING. TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH TREASURY DEPARTMENT CIRCULAR 230, U.S. SHAREHOLDERS ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT: (A) ANY DISCUSSION OF U.S. FEDERAL TAX ISSUES IN THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL IS NOT INTENDED OR WRITTEN TO BE RELIED UPON, AND CANNOT BE RELIED UPON BY SUCH U.S. SHAREHOLDERS, FOR THE PURPOSE OF AVOIDING PENALTIES THAT MAY BE IMPOSED ON SUCH U.S. SHAREHOLDERS UNDER THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE; (B) SUCH DISCUSSION IS BEING USED IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROMOTION OR MARKETING (WITHIN THE MEANING OF CIRCULAR 230) OF THE TRANSACTIONS OR MATTERS ADDRESSED HEREIN; AND (C) EACH U.S. SHAREHOLDER SHOULD SEEK ADVICE BASED ON ITS PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES FROM AN INDEPENDENT TAX ADVISOR.
