TABLE OF CONTENTS

SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS

Unless the context otherwise requires, as used in this prospectus, “Selling Securityholders” includes the selling securityholders listed below and donees, pledgees, permitted transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares received after the date of this prospectus from the selling securityholders as a gift, pledge or other non-sale related transfer.

On January 18, 2024, we entered into Subscription Agreements (collectively, the “Subscription Agreements”) with the Selling Securityholders. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, the Company issued to the Selling Securityholders 8,158,510 Units for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $35,000,000 on January 19, 2024. The purchase price per Unit was $4.29.

We have prepared this prospectus to allow the Selling Securityholders or their successors, assignees or other permitted transferees to sell or otherwise dispose of, from time to time, up to 16,317,020 Shares. On January 19, 2024, in connection with the Private Placement, we entered into a registration rights agreement with the Selling Securityholders, pursuant to which we agreed to register the resale of the Shares. The Units, including the Common Shares and Warrants underlying the Units, were issued by the Company in reliance on the exemption from securities registration in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act.

The Shares to be offered by the Selling Securityholders pursuant to this prospectus are “restricted” securities under applicable federal and state securities laws and are being registered under the Securities Act to give the Selling Securityholders the opportunity to sell the Shares publicly. The registration of the Shares does not require that any of the Shares be offered or sold by the Selling Securityholders.

No estimate can be given as to the amount or percentage of Common Shares that will be held by the Selling Securityholders after any sales of Shares are made pursuant to this prospectus because the Selling Securityholders are not required to sell any of the Shares being registered hereunder. The table below assumes that the Selling Securityholders will sell all of the Shares listed in this prospectus and that they do not purchase additional Common Shares.

Unless otherwise indicated in the footnotes to the table below, the Selling Securityholders have not had any material relationship with us or any of our affiliates within the past three years other than as a security holder.

We have prepared the table below based on written representations and information furnished to us by or on behalf of the Selling Securityholders. Since the date on which the Selling Securityholders provided this information, the Selling Securityholders may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of all or a portion of the Common Shares in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Unless otherwise indicated in the footnotes to the table below, we believe that (1) the Selling Securityholders are not broker-dealers or affiliates of a broker-dealer, (2) the Selling Securityholders do not have direct or indirect agreements or understandings with any person to distribute its respective Shares, and (3) the Selling Securityholders have sole voting and investment power with respect to all Shares beneficially owned. To the extent any Selling Securityholder is, or is affiliated with, a broker-dealer, it could be deemed to be, under SEC Staff interpretations, an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act. Information about the Selling Securityholders may change over time. Any changed information will be set forth in amendments or supplements to this prospectus, if required.

Under the terms of the Warrants, a Selling Securityholder may not exercise the Warrants to the extent such exercise would cause such Selling Securityholder, together with its affiliates and attribution parties, to beneficially own a number of Common Shares which would exceed 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of our then outstanding Common Shares following such exercise, excluding for purposes of such determination Common Shares issuable upon exercise of such Warrants which have not been exercised; provided that Selling Securityholder may, upon notice, increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage, provided that the Maximum Percentage in no event exceeds 9.99% of our then outstanding Common Shares following such exercise. The number of Shares and the percentages in the table below do not reflect this limitation. The Selling Securityholders may sell all, some or none of their Shares in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”

The following table sets forth information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our Common Shares held, as of January 22, 2024, by the Selling Securityholders and the number of Shares being offered hereby

and information with respect to Common Shares to be beneficially owned by the Selling Securityholders after completion of this offering. The percentages in the following table reflect the Common Shares beneficially owned by the Selling Securityholders as a percentage of the total number of Common Shares outstanding as of January 22, 2024. As of such date, 91,113,912 Common Shares were outstanding.

whereby broker-dealers may agree with such Selling Securityholder to sell a specified number of such Shares at a stipulated price per share;

In addition, a Selling Securityholder that is an entity may elect to make a pro rata in -kind distribution of securities to its members, partners or stockholders pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part by delivering a prospectus with a plan of distribution. Such members, partners or stockholders would thereby receive freely tradeable securities pursuant to the distribution through a registration statement. To the extent a distributee is an affiliate of ours (or to the extent otherwise required by law), we may file a prospectus supplement in order to permit the distributees to use the prospectus to resell the securities acquired in the distribution.

If any Selling Securityholder effects such transactions by selling Shares to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from such Selling Securityholder or commissions from purchasers of the Shares for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions

or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved). In connection with sales of the Shares or otherwise, the Selling Securityholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the Shares in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The Selling Securityholders may also sell the Shares short and deliver Shares covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed Common Shares in connection with such short sales. The Selling Securityholders may also loan or pledge Shares to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such Shares.

Each Selling Securityholder may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the Shares owned by it and, if it defaults in the performance of its secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the Shares from time to time pursuant to this prospectus or any amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act by amending, if necessary, the list of Selling Securityholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as a Selling Securityholder under this prospectus. Each Selling Securityholder also may transfer and donate the Shares owned by it in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

The Selling Securityholders and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the Shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a particular offering of the Shares is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed which will set forth the aggregate amount of Shares being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the Selling Securityholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to broker-dealers. The Selling Securityholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the Shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

Under the securities laws of some states of the United States, the Shares may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states of the United States, the Shares may not be sold unless such Shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.

The aggregate proceeds to the Selling Securityholders from the sale of the Shares offered will be the purchase price of the Shares less discounts or commissions, if any. The Selling Securityholders reserve the right to accept and, together with its agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of Shares to be made directly or through agents. There can be no assurance that the Selling Securityholders will sell any or all of the Shares registered hereunder.

The Selling Securityholders and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the Shares by the Selling Securityholders and any other participating person. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the Shares to engage in market-making activities with respect to the Common Shares. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the Shares and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the Common Shares.

We will pay all expenses of the registration of the Shares pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, including, without limitation, SEC filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or “Blue Sky” laws; provided, however, that the Selling Securityholders will pay all underwriting fees, discounts or commissions attributable to the sale of the Shares and any legal fees and expenses of counsel to the Selling Securityholders. We may be indemnified by the Selling Securityholders against certain liabilities, including certain liabilities under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, that may arise from any written information furnished to us by the Selling Securityholders specifically for use in this prospectus.

Once sold hereunder, the Shares will be freely tradable in the hands of persons, other than our affiliates.

LEGAL MATTERS

The validity of the Common Shares offered hereby and certain other Canadian legal matters related to the Common Shares being offered hereby will be passed upon for us by Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP.

EXPERTS

The consolidated financial statements of Canopy Growth Corporation as of March 31, 2023 and 2022, and for each of the years in the three-year period ended March 31, 2023, and management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2023, have been incorporated by reference herein in reliance on the reports of KPMG LLP, independent registered public accounting firm (“KPMG”), incorporated by reference herein, and upon the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting.

The audit report covering the March 31, 2023 consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report contains an explanatory paragraph that states that the Company’s material debt obligations coming due in the short-term, recurring losses from operations and the requirement for additional capital to fund its operations raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The 2023 consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of that uncertainty.

The audit report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2023, expresses an opinion that Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2023 because of the effect of material weaknesses on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria and contains an explanatory paragraph that states the following material weaknesses have been identified and included in management’s assessment:

•

An ineffective control environment, resulting from a lack of the required number of trained operational and IT personnel with the appropriate skills and knowledge and with appropriate assigned authorities, responsibilities and accountability related to the design, implementation and operating effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. The control environment material weakness contributed to the following material weaknesses:

•

The accounting for sales recorded by the BioSteel segment, which resulted in material misstatements relating to revenue and trade receivables, particularly with respect to the timing and amount of revenue recognition. Specifically, the Company did not design and maintain effective controls to sufficiently assess the timing, amount and appropriateness of revenue recognition. This included a lack of segregation of duties in the review of customer orders, inadequate controls over the review and approval of sales returns, and inadequate controls relating to revenue recognition policies and procedures. This also contributed to the failure to impair goodwill related to the BioSteel reporting unit on a timely basis as changes in the performance of BioSteel were not identified in a timely manner, and the failure to accurately record the redeemable noncontrolling interest.

•

IT general controls deficiencies that aggregated to a material weakness. These deficiencies specifically related to: (i) logical access management, including untimely periodic access review, access provisioning and modification, removal of user access and change management controls with respect to a payroll system implemented during the year; and (ii) untimely and inconsistent monitoring and oversight of third-party service organizations. Although the Company identified no instances of any adverse effects due to these deficiencies, business processes that depend on the affected information systems or that depend on data from the affected information systems, could be adversely impacted.

The audit report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2023, also contains an explanatory paragraph that states that the Company excluded the operations of a certain manufacturing facility (“Acquired Operations”) from its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2023. KPMG’s audit of internal control over financial reporting of the Company also excluded an evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting of the Acquired Operations.

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

We are a corporation incorporated under and governed by the Canadian Business Corporations Act (the “CBCA”). Some of our officers and directors, and some of the experts named in this prospectus, are Canadian residents, and many of our assets or the assets of our officers and directors and the experts are located outside the United States. We have appointed an agent for service of process in the United States, but it may be difficult for holders of Securities who reside in the United States to effect service within the United States upon those directors, officers and experts who are not residents of the United States. It may also be difficult for holders of Securities who reside in the United States to realize in the United States upon judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon our civil liability and the civil liability of our officers and directors and experts under the United States federal securities laws. We have been advised by our Canadian counsel, Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP, that a judgment of a United States court predicated solely upon civil liability under U.S. federal securities laws could be enforceable in Canada if the United States court in which the judgment was obtained has a basis for jurisdiction in the matter that would be recognized by a Canadian court for the same purposes. We have also been advised by Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP, however, that there is substantial doubt whether an action could be brought in Canada in the first instance on the basis of liability predicated solely upon U.S. federal securities laws.

Item 14.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Under the CBCA, the Company may indemnify a present or former director or officer of the Company or another individual who acts or acted at the Company’s request as a director or officer, or an individual acting in a similar capacity, of another entity, against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by the individual in respect of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding in which the individual is involved because of that association with the Company or other entity. The Company may not indemnify an individual unless the individual acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company, or, as the case may be, to the best interests of the other entity for which the individual acted as a director or officer or in a similar capacity at the Company’s request and in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, the individual had reasonable grounds for believing that the conduct was lawful (the “Indemnity Conditions”). The indemnification may be made in connection with a derivative action only with court approval. The aforementioned individuals are entitled to indemnification from the Company as a matter of right if they were not judged by the court or other competent authority to have committed any fault or omitted to do anything that the individual ought to have done, and they fulfill the Indemnity Conditions. The Company may advance moneys to the individual for the costs, charges and expenses of a proceeding; however, the individual shall repay the moneys if the individual does not fulfill the Indemnity Conditions.

The By-laws of the Company provide that, subject to the CBCA, the Company shall indemnify a director or officer, a former director or officer, or a person who acts or acted at the Company’s request as a director or officer, or an individual acting in a similar capacity, of another entity against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by the individual in respect of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding in which the individual is involved because of that association with the Company or other entity, if the individual acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company, or, as the case may be, to the best interests of the other entity for which the individual acted as a director or officer or in a similar capacity at the Company’s request, and in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, the individual had reasonable grounds for believing that such person’s conduct was lawful. The By-laws of the Company further obligate the Company to advance moneys to a director, officer or other individual for the costs, charges and expenses of a proceeding referred to above, subject to the repayment of these moneys if the individual does not fulfil the Indemnity Conditions.

The By-laws of the Company provide that the Company may, subject to the CBCA, purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any director, officer, or certain other persons as set out above, against any liability incurred by him or her in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company or an individual acting in a similar capacity of the Company or of another body corporate where he or she acts or acted in that capacity at the Company’s request, as the Board may from time to time determine. The Company has purchased third party director and officer liability insurance which insures directors and officers for losses

as a result of claims against the directors and officers of the Company in their capacity as directors and officers and also reimburses the Company for payments made pursuant to the indemnity provisions under the By-laws of the Company and the CBCA.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Reference is made to Item 17 for the undertakings of the Company with respect to indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

Undertakings.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1)

To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

II-9

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(i)

To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii)

To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;

(iii)

To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of this registration statement;

(2)

That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3)

To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4)

That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

(i)

Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in this registration statement; and

(ii)

Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in this registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of this registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into this registration statement or prospectus that is part of this registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in this registration statement or prospectus that was part of this registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such

II-10

liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
