SMITHS FALLS, ON – August 17 , 2026 – Canopy Growth Corporation (“Canopy Growth”, “our”, “we” or the “Company”) (TSX: WEED) (Nasdaq: CGC), a leading global company committed to bettering lives through cannabis, today announced the Company has mailed (or mailed a notice of internet availability with respect to) its proxy statement and fiscal 2026 annual report to shareholders (collectively, the “Meeting Materials”) for its Annual General and Special Meeting of shareholders (the “Meeting”) scheduled to take place on Friday, September 25, 2026, at 1:00 PM ET, via live audio webcast at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/WEED2026.
Why your vote matters
Nasdaq listing rules require a quorum of 33 1/3% of outstanding shares entitled to vote, present or by proxy at the Meeting. Given Canopy Growth’s shareholder base, reaching quorum depends on strong participation – if it isn’t met, the Meeting must be adjourned at additional cost to the Company. Shareholders of record as of July 31, 2026, are eligible to vote; we encourage voting in advance even if you plan to attend live.
The Meeting Materials are filed on EDGAR and SEDAR+ under the Company’s profile at www.sedarplus.ca. The annual report is available at: https://canopygrowth.com/agm/.
Items up for vote

| 1. | The election of the Board; |
| 2. | The appointment of MNP LLP as the Company’s auditor and independent registered public accounting firm, and to authorize the Board or any responsible committee thereof to fix their renumeration; |
| 3. | A share consolidation (reverse stock split) proposal - shareholders approved a similar proposal in 2025 (the “2025 Proposal”), but there was no need to implement the 2025 Proposal; if approved again, implementation remains at the Board’s discretion which may similarly determine not to proceed with it; |
| 4. | An advance notice by-law proposal; |
