TABLE OF CONTENTS

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TRANSACTION DETAILS
The transaction (the “ Transaction ”) is to be completed pursuant to an arrangement (the “ Arrangement ”) under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario). Under the terms of the Arrangement, shareholders of Aphria will receive 0.8381 of a share of Tilray common stock for each Aphria share held. Tilray stockholders will continue to hold their Tilray common stock, which will remain outstanding. Upon the completion of the Transaction, it is expected (based on the shares of Tilray and Aphria issued and issuable as of March 12, 2021) that the Exchange Ratio will result in shareholders of each of Aphria and of Tilray owning approximately 61.2% and 38.8%, respectively, of the post-closing outstanding Tilray common stock (on a fully diluted basis), assuming there is no change in the issued and outstanding Tilray share numbers prior to closing, resulting in the reverse acquisition of Tilray. (1)
Following the completion of the Transaction, the resulting company of the Arrangement (the “Combined Company”) will operate under the Tilray corporate name with shares trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”) under the ticker symbol “TLRY”. In addition, Tilray currently expects to list the Tilray common stock on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) at, or as soon as practicable following, the completion of the Transaction.
STRATEGIC RATIONALE
Each of Aphria’s and Tilray’s respective boards of directors RECOMMEND THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE TRANSACTION as the combination of the two companies is expected to unlock significant shareholder value as follows:
The combination of Aphria and Tilray will create the world’s largest global cannabis company with pro forma revenue of US$685 million (C$874 million) for the last 12 months as reported by each company prior to the date of the announcement of the Transaction on December 16, 2020, the highest in the global cannabis industry.

The Combined Company is expected to have the strategic footprint and operational scale necessary to compete more effectively in today’s consolidating cannabis market with a strong, flexible balance sheet, strong cash balance and access to capital which Aphria and Tilray believe will give it the ability to accelerate growth and deliver long-term sustainable value for stockholders.
(1)
The relative ownership percentages as at the date of the announcement of the Transaction were 62% and 38%, respectively, but since the Exchange Ratio remains fixed, the relative ownership percentages have changed as a result of a share issuance by Tilray pursuant to an at-the-market offering on February 25, 2021.

The demand of the Combined Company will be supported by low-cost state-of-the-art cultivation, processing, and manufacturing facilities, and it will have a complete portfolio of branded cannabis 2.0 products in order to strengthen its leadership position in Canada.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Internationally, the Combined Company will be well-positioned to pursue growth opportunities with its strong medical cannabis brands, distribution network in Germany and end-to-end European Union Good Manufacturing Practices (“EU-GMP”) supply chain, which includes its production facilities in Portugal and Germany.

In the United States, the Combined Company will have a strong consumer packaged goods presence and infrastructure with two strategic pillars, including SweetWater Brewing Company, LLC, a leading cannabis lifestyle branded craft brewer, and Manitoba Harvest USA, LLC, a pioneer in branded hemp, CBD and wellness products with access to 17,000 stores in North America. In the event of federal permissibility, the Combined Company expects to be well-positioned to compete in the U.S. cannabis market given its existing strong brands and distribution system in addition to its track record of growth in consumer-packaged goods and cannabis products.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The combination of Aphria and Tilray is expected to deliver approximately US$78 million (C$100 million) of annual pre-tax cost synergies within 24 months of the completion of the Transaction.

NOTICE TO APHRIA SHAREHOLDERS IN THE UNITED STATES
THE TILRAY SHARES TO BE ISSUED IN CONNECTION WITH THE ARRANGEMENT HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SEC OR THE SECURITIES REGULATORY AUTHORITY IN ANY STATE IN THE UNITED STATES, NOR HAVE THE SEC OR THE SECURITIES REGULATORY AUTHORITY OF ANY STATE IN THE UNITED STATES PASSED ON THE ADEQUACY OR ACCURACY OF THIS CIRCULAR. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENCE.
The Tilray shares to be issued under the Arrangement will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”), or the securities laws of any state of the United States. Such securities will be issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by section 3(a)(10) of the U.S. Securities Act on the basis of the approval of the Court, which will consider, among other things, the fairness of the Arrangement to the persons affected. See “Description of the Arrangement – Court Approval”. The Tilray shares to be issued under the Arrangement will not be subject to resale restrictions under the U.S. Securities Act, except for restrictions imposed by the U.S. Securities Act on the resale of Tilray shares received pursuant to the Arrangement by persons who are, or within three months before the resale were, “affiliates” of Tilray. See “U.S. Securities Law Matters”.
Aphria Shareholders who are citizens or residents of the United States should be aware that the Arrangement described herein may have both U.S. and Canadian tax consequences to them which may not be fully described in this Circular. For a general discussion of the Canadian and U.S. federal income tax consequences to investors who are resident in the United States, see “Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations” and “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations”. U.S. holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors with respect to such U.S. and Canadian income tax consequences and the applicability of any federal, state, local, foreign and other tax laws.
Aphria is a “foreign private issuer” within the meaning of Rule 3b-4 of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “U.S. Exchange Act”), and, therefore, this solicitation of proxies is not subject to the proxy requirements of section 14(a) of the U.S. Exchange Act. Accordingly, the solicitation of proxies contemplated herein is made in accordance with Canadian corporate and securities laws, and this Circular has been prepared in accordance with the disclosure requirements of Canadian securities laws. Aphria Shareholders located or resident in the United States should be aware that, in general, such Canadian disclosure requirements are different from those applicable to proxy statements, prospectuses or registration statements prepared in accordance with U.S. laws. The financial statements of Aphria incorporated by reference herein have been prepared in accordance with international financial reporting standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and have been subject to Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Accordingly, the financial statements of Aphria may not be comparable to financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The principal differences between IFRS and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) as they apply to Aphria are summarized in the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements of Tilray that give effect to the Arrangement, which are set forth in Appendix “L” to this Circular.
The enforcement by investors of civil liabilities under U.S. Securities Laws may be affected adversely by the fact that Aphria is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, that its officers and directors include residents of countries other than the United States, that some or all of the experts named in this Circular may be residents of countries other than the United States, or that all or a substantial portion of the assets of Aphria, and such persons are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for shareholders in the United States to effect service of process within the United States on Aphria, or such persons, or to realize against them upon judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon civil liabilities under the securities laws of the United States. In addition, the shareholders in the United States should not assume that the courts of Canada: (a) would enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained in actions against such persons predicated upon civil liabilities under the securities laws of the United States; or (b) would enforce, in original actions, liabilities against such persons predicated upon civil liabilities under the securities laws of the United States.

The Aphria Board and the Tilray Board each believe that, at this stage of development and expansion of the global cannabis market, companies with financial strength, a strategic footprint and scale, a diverse product range, brand expertise and strong leadership are most likely to succeed in the long-term. The following are the key benefits of the combination:
World’s Largest Global Cannabis Company. The combination of Aphria and Tilray will create the world’s largest global cannabis company with pro forma revenue of US$685 million (C$874 million) for the last 12 months as reported by each company prior to the date of the announcement of the Transaction on December 16, 2020, the highest in the global cannabis industry.

The relative ownership percentages as at the date of the announcement of the Transaction were 62% and 38%, respectively, but since the Exchange Ratio remains fixed, the relative ownership percentages have changed as a result of a share issuance by Tilray pursuant to an at-the-market offering on February 25, 2021.

Why am I receiving 0.8381 of a Tilray Share for each of my Aphria Shares?
A:
The agreed Exchange Ratio is 0.8381. This means that upon completion of the Arrangement, each holder of Aphria shares will receive 0.8381 of a Tilray Share for each Aphria Share. Since Tilray currently has approximately 188,932,853 shares outstanding and Aphria has approximately 360,461,839 shares outstanding, each on a fully diluted basis, on the closing of the Transaction, it is expected (based on the shares of Tilray and Aphria issued and issuable as of March 12, 2021) that the Exchange Ratio will result in Aphria Shareholders owning approximately 61.2% of the outstanding shares of Tilray, and existing Tilray Stockholders owning approximately 38.8% of the outstanding shares of Tilray. (2) If there is no change in the issued and outstanding share numbers prior to closing, Tilray is expected to issue and make available for issuance an aggregate of approximately 298,450,205 new shares to Aphria Shareholders (298,450,205 / (188,932,853 + 298,450,205 = 61.2%) in exchange for their Aphria Shares (calculated using the treasury stock method).
Expressed graphically: (3)



(2)
The relative ownership percentages as at the date of the announcement of the Transaction were 62% and 38%, respectively, but since the Exchange Ratio remains fixed, the relative ownership percentages have changed as a result of a share issuance by Tilray pursuant to an at-the-market offering on February 25, 2021.
(3)
This graph assumes no change in the number of current issued and outstanding shares.

Q:
How do I calculate the value of the Tilray Shares that I receive?
A:
The value of the Tilray Shares that you will receive on closing of the Transaction in exchange for your Aphria Shares will depend on the trading price of Tilray Shares on the day the Transaction is completed. To help you value what you will receive under the Transaction for your Aphria Shares, see the example below:
If you bought your Aphria Shares on the TSX, then:
Step 1: Calculate the number of Tilray Shares that you will receive.
Calculate the number of Tilray Shares that you will receive on closing by multiplying the number of Aphria Shares that you own by 0.8381 (which is the Exchange Ratio).
Step 2: Calculate the value of the Tilray Shares that you will receive in US$.
Multiply the answer from Step 1 by the current value of each Tilray Share.
Step 3: Calculate the value of the Tilray Shares that you will receive in C$.
Multiply the answer from Step 2 by the US$ to C$ foreign exchange rate since the Tilray Shares currently trade in US$. This will give you the value of the Tilray Shares to be received in C$.
As an example, assume that:
The value of each Tilray Share is US$20.00.
1 US dollar = 1.2756 Canadian dollar
You own 1,000 Aphria Shares
1,000 Aphria Shares X 0.8381 = 838 Tilray Shares
838 Tilray Shares X US$20.00 per Tilray Share =US$16,760.00
US$16,760.00 X 1.2756 = C$21,379.06 (or C$21.38 per Aphria Share that you own)
If you bought your Aphria Shares on the Nasdaq, then:
Step 1: Calculate the number of Tilray Shares that you will receive
Calculate the number of Tilray Shares that you will receive on closing by multiplying the number of Aphria Shares that you own by 0.8381 (which is the Exchange Ratio).
Step 2: Calculate the value of the Tilray Shares that you will receive in US$.
Multiply the answer from Step 1 by the current value per Tilray Share.
1,000 Aphria Shares X 0.8381 = 838 Tilray Shares
838 Tilray Shares X the current value per Tilray Share

Q:
Will I receive fractional Tilray Shares?
A:
No. If the total number of Tilray Shares that you will be entitled to receive would result in a fraction of a Tilray Share being issuable, the number of Tilray Shares you will receive will be rounded down to the nearest whole Tilray Share.
Q:
What approvals are required for the Arrangement to be implemented?
A:
The completion of the Arrangement requires the approval from the Aphria Shareholders and the Tilray

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Stockholders, receipt of the Final Order from the Court, and receipt of the Required Regulatory Approvals. See “Regulatory Matters – Competition Act Approval”, “Regulatory Matters – HSR Act Approval”, Regulatory Matters – German FDI Approval”, “Description of the Arrangement – Court Approval” and “Description of the Arrangement – Stock Exchange Listing”.
Q:
When will the Arrangement become effective?
A:
Subject to obtaining the approvals described above, as well as the satisfaction or waiver of all other conditions precedent set out in the Arrangement Agreement, it is anticipated that the Arrangement will be completed on or about April 20, 2021.
Q:
What will happen to Aphria if the Arrangement is completed?
A:
If the Arrangement is completed, Tilray will acquire all outstanding Aphria Shares and Aphria will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tilray. Tilray intends to have the Aphria Shares delisted from the TSX.
Q:
Are the Tilray Shares listed on a stock exchange?
A:
Tilray Shares are currently listed on the Nasdaq under the symbol “TLRY” and trade in U.S. dollars. In addition, Tilray currently expects to list the Tilray Shares on the TSX at, or as soon as practicable following, the Effective Time, which will trade in Canadian dollars. Consequently, following the closing, Aphria Shareholders are expected to be able to trade their Tilray Shares on either exchange, in either currency. See “The Arrangement Agreement and Related Agreements – Covenants”.
Q:
What are the Canadian federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement?
A:
Aphria Shareholders who are residents of Canada for purposes of the Tax Act should be aware that the exchange of Aphria Shares for Tilray Shares under the Arrangement will be a taxable transaction for Canadian federal income tax purposes. Aphria Shareholders who are non-residents of Canada for purposes of the Tax Act and that do not hold their Aphria Shares as “taxable Canadian property” will generally not be subject to tax under the Tax Act on the exchange of their Aphria Shares for Tilray Shares under the Arrangement.
For a summary of certain of the principal Canadian federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement applicable to Aphria Shareholders, see below under the heading “Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations”. Such summary is not intended to be legal, business or tax advice. Aphria Shareholders should consult their own tax advisors as to the tax consequences of the Arrangement to them with respect to their particular circumstances.
Q:
What are the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement?
A:
Aphria Shareholders should not recognize gain or loss as a result of the Arrangement for U.S. tax purposes. Each holder’s aggregate tax basis in Tilray Shares received should equal the aggregate tax basis of the holder’s Aphria Shares surrendered in the Arrangement, as applicable. Each holder’s holding period for Tilray Shares received in the Arrangement should include such holder’s holding period for the Aphria Shares surrendered in the Arrangement.
Holders who acquired different blocks of Aphria Shares with different holding periods and tax bases must generally apply the foregoing rules separately to each identifiable block of Aphria Shares. Any such holder should consult its tax advisor with regard to identifying the bases or holding periods of the particular shares of Tilray Shares received in the Arrangement.
However, since your tax circumstances may be unique, you should consult your tax advisor to determine the tax consequences of the Arrangement.
See “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” for a more detailed discussion of the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Arrangement.
Q:
What will happen if the Aphria Resolution is not approved or the Tilray Resolutions are not approved or the Arrangement Agreement is terminated?
A:
If the Aphria Resolution is not approved, the Arrangement Agreement may be terminated by either Aphria or Tilray, and in the event it is terminated, Aphria will be required to pay to Tilray its Transaction Expenses (up
4

TABLE OF CONTENTS

to a maximum of C$10 million) provided that the Tilray Resolutions have been approved. If the Tilray Resolutions have not been approved, the Arrangement Agreement may be terminated by either Aphria or Tilray, and in the event it is terminated, Tilray will be required to pay to Aphria its Transaction Expenses (up to a maximum of C$10 million), provided that the Aphria Resolution has been approved. A Party may be required to pay the other Party a Termination Amount of C$65 million if the Arrangement Agreement is terminated in certain circumstances as described in this Circular. If the Arrangement Agreement is terminated and the Arrangement is not completed, the market price of Aphria Shares and the Tilray Shares may be materially adversely affected. See “The Arrangement Agreement and Related Agreements – Termination” and “Risk Factors – Risks Related to the Arrangement”.
Q:
Are there risks I should consider in deciding whether to vote for the proposed Arrangement?
A:
Yes. The proposed Arrangement is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. There can be no certainty that all conditions precedent to the Arrangement will be satisfied or waived, and, accordingly, the Arrangement may not be completed. For example: (i) the Required Regulatory Approvals may not be obtained and, therefore, the market price of Aphria Shares and Tilray Shares may be affected; (ii) the Arrangement may be terminated in certain circumstances and the termination amount provided under the Arrangement Agreement may discourage other parties from attempting to acquire Aphria or Tilray; and (iii) if the Arrangement is consummated, the difficulties that management of the Combined Company may encounter in the process of integrating the business and operations of Aphria and Tilray could have an adverse effect on the revenues, level of expenses and operating ‎results of the Combined Company.
Before deciding whether to vote for or against the Transaction, you should carefully consider these and other risks as well as the more detailed discussion of risks found at “Risk Factors – Risks Related to the Arrangement” and other information included in this Circular.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Reasons for the Arrangement
The Aphria Board and the Tilray Board each believe that, at this stage of development and expansion of the global cannabis market, companies with financial strength, a strategic footprint and scale, diverse product range, brand expertise and strong leadership are most likely to succeed in the long-term. The following are the key strategic and financial benefits of the Transaction:
World’s Largest Global Cannabis Company. On a pro forma basis for the last twelve months reported by each company prior to the date of the announcement of the Arrangement on December 16, 2020, the Combined Company would have had revenue of approximately US$685 million (C$874 million), which would have been the highest among publicly reporting cannabis companies globally over that period.
Strategic Footprint and Operational Scale. The Combined Company is expected to have the strategic footprint and operational scale necessary to compete more effectively in today’s consolidating cannabis market with a strong, flexible balance sheet, strong cash balance and access to capital which Aphria and Tilray believe will give it the ability to accelerate growth and deliver long-term sustainable value for stockholders.
Low-Cost State-of-the-Art Production & The Leading Canadian Adult-Use Cannabis Producer. The Combined Company is expected to have one of the lowest cost production operations with its state-of-the-art facilities. In addition, the Combined Company will have a portfolio of carefully curated brands across all consumer segments and a complete portfolio of Cannabis 2.0 products. In the adult-use market in Canada, the Combined Company, on a pro forma basis for the last twelve months reported by each company prior to the date of the announcement of the execution of the Arrangement Agreement on December 16, 2020, would have had gross revenue of US$232 million (C$296 million), which would have been the most of any Canadian licensed producer.
Positioned to Pursue International Growth. The Combined Company will be well-positioned to pursue growth opportunities with its end-to-end EU-GMP supply chain and distribution. Aphria is one of three companies selected in Germany to receive a license for the in-country cultivation of medical cannabis and has distribution capabilities that will support the Aphria and Tilray medical cannabis brands. Tilray’s EU-GMP cultivation and production facility in Portugal will provide the Combined Company with the capacity to cultivate and produce EU-GMP medical cannabis products in order to meet international demand and the Combined Company will be able to export products produced in such facility on a tariff-free basis to EU countries.
Enhanced Consumer Packaged Goods Presence and Infrastructure in the U.S. The Combined Company is expected to have an improved position from a corporate, branding and products perspective if cannabis is legalized under U.S. federal law and allow the Combined Company to leverage several established third-party partnerships. In the United States, the Combined Company will have a strong consumer packaged goods presence and infrastructure with two strategic pillars: SweetWater, a leading cannabis lifestyle branded craft brewer, and Manitoba Harvest, a pioneer in branded hemp, CBD and wellness products with access to 17,000 stores in North America.
Substantial Synergies. The combination of Aphria and Tilray is expected to deliver meaningful synergies arising from cost leadership and scale opportunities in the Canadian adult-use and medical cannabis sector. Within 24 months of the completion of the Transaction, the Combined Company expects to achieve approximately US$78 million (C$100 million) annual pre-tax cost synergies. The Combined Company expects to achieve cost synergies in the key areas of cultivation and production, cannabis and product purchasing, sales and marketing and corporate expenses.
Proven Leadership Team. The Combined Company will be led by a best-in-class management team and board of directors, with strong track records in consumer-packaged goods and cannabis experience internationally.

Such persons should consult their legal advisors as to the necessary requirements. See “Appendix “E” – Notice of Application of Final Order”.
The Court will be advised, prior to the hearing, that the Court’s approval of the Arrangement (and determination of the fairness thereof), will constitute the basis for reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) thereof, with respect to the issuance and distribution of the Tilray Shares to be issued by Tilray to Aphria Shareholders pursuant to the Arrangement and with respect to the issuance and distribution of the Replacement Options, Replacement RSUs, Replacement DSUs and Replacement Warrants to be issued to holders of Aphria Options, Aphria RSUs, Aphria DSUs, and 2016 Aphria Warrants respectively. See “U.S. Securities Law Matters”.

The Court may approve the Arrangement as proposed or as amended, in any manner the Court may direct, subject to compliance with such terms and conditions, if any, as the Court thinks fit. Depending on the nature of any required amendments, Aphria and Tilray may determine not to proceed with the Arrangement.

The Tilray Shares to be issued pursuant to the Arrangement have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act and will be issued in reliance on the exemption afforded by section 3(a)(10) of the U.S. Securities Act and corresponding exemptions from the registration or qualification requirements of state securities laws. Section 3(a)(10) of the U.S. Securities Act exempts from registration the offer and sale of a security which is issued in specified exchange transactions where, among other things, the fairness of the terms and conditions of such exchange are approved after a hearing on the fairness of such terms and conditions, at which all persons to whom it is proposed to issue securities in such exchange have the right to appear, by a court or governmental authority expressly authorized by Law to grant such approval and to hold such a hearing. Accordingly, the Final Order, if granted by the Court, constitutes a basis for the exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act with respect to the Tilray Shares issued in connection with the Arrangement. See “U.S. Securities Law Matters – Exemption Relied Upon from the Registration Requirements of the U.S. Securities Act”.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Tilray Shares to be issued under the Arrangement will not be subject to resale restrictions under the U.S. Securities Act, except that the U.S. Securities Act imposes restrictions on the resale of Tilray Shares received pursuant to the Arrangement by persons who are at the time of a resale, or who were within three months before the resale, “affiliates” of Tilray. An “affiliate” of an issuer is a person that, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, the issuer. Typically, persons who are executive officers, directors or 10% or greater shareholders of an issuer may be considered to be its “affiliates”. See “U.S. Securities Law Matters – Resale of Tilray Shares Within the United States”.
Pro Forma Economic Ownership of the Combined Company
Upon completion of the Transaction, it is estimated that the Exchange Ratio will result in Aphria Shareholders and Tilray Stockholders owning approximately 61.2% and 38.8%, respectively, of the outstanding economic interest in the Combined Company on a fully diluted basis. (4) See “Description of the Arrangement – Pro Forma Economic Ownership of the Combined Company”.
Stock Exchange Listing and Reporting Issuer Status
The Tilray Shares currently trade on the Nasdaq under the symbol “TLRY”. Tilray will apply to list the Tilray Shares issuable under the Arrangement on the Nasdaq and it is a condition of closing that Tilray will have obtained approval for this listing (subject to customary conditions).
If the Arrangement is completed, Tilray intends to have the Aphria Shares delisted from the TSX. In addition, Tilray currently expects to list the Tilray Shares on the TSX at, or as soon as practicable following, the Effective Time, which will trade in Canadian dollars. Consequently, following the closing, Aphria Shareholders are expected to be able to trade their Tilray Shares on either exchange, in either currency.
Upon completion of the Arrangement, Tilray will become a reporting issuer in all of the provinces and territories of Canada by virtue of the completion of the Arrangement with Aphria. Tilray may be exempted from certain Canadian statutory financial and certain other continuous and timely reporting requirements. See “U.S. Securities Law Matters” and “Canadian Securities Law Matters”.
Treatment of Outstanding Aphria Convertible Securities
All outstanding Aphria Options (other than any Continuing Aphria Option), Aphria RSUs (other than any Continuing Aphria RSU), Aphria DSUs (other than any Continuing Aphria DSU), whether vested or unvested, and 2016 Aphria Warrants shall be exchanged at the Effective Time for Replacement Options, Replacement RSUs, Replacement DSUs and Replacement Warrants, respectively.
All outstanding 2020 Aphria Warrants, Continuing Aphria DSUs, Continuing Aphria Options and Continuing Aphria RSUs shall cease to represent a warrant, deferred share unit, option, restricted share unit or other right to acquire Aphria Shares and shall represent a right to receive Tilray Shares in accordance with their terms. See “Description of the Arrangement – Recommendation of the Aphria Board”.
The Arrangement Agreement
The Arrangement Agreement provides for, among other things, the conditions that need to be satisfied or waived prior to the filing of the Articles of Arrangement and the implementation of the Plan of Arrangement. The following is a summary of certain terms of the Arrangement Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Arrangement Agreement, a copy of which is attached to this Circular as Appendix “A” and is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com under Aphria’s SEDAR profile and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov under Tilray’s EDGAR profile.
See “The Arrangement Agreement”.
Covenants, Representations and Warranties
The Arrangement Agreement contains certain customary and negotiated covenants and representations and warranties for an agreement of this type, which are summarized in this Circular.
(4)
The relative ownership percentages as at the date of the announcement of the Transaction were 62% and 38%, respectively, but since the Exchange Ratio remains fixed, the relative ownership percentages have changed as a result of a share issuance by Tilray pursuant to an at-the-market offering on February 25, 2021.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Aphria Shareholder Dissent Rights
Section 185 of the OBCA provides registered shareholders of a corporation with the right to dissent from certain resolutions that effect extraordinary corporate transactions or fundamental corporate changes. The Interim Order expressly provides registered Aphria Shareholders with the right to dissent from the Aphria Resolution pursuant to Section 185 of the OBCA in the manner set forth in Sections 185 of the OBCA, with modifications or supplements to the provisions of Sections 185 as provided in the Plan of Arrangement and the Interim Order. Any registered Aphria Shareholder who dissents from the Aphria Resolution in compliance with Section 185 of the OBCA, as modified or supplemented by the Plan of Arrangement and the Interim Order, will be entitled, if ultimately successful and in the event the Arrangement becomes effective, to be paid the fair value of the Aphria Shares held by such Aphria Dissenting Shareholder determined as of the close of business on the last Business Day before the day on which the Arrangement is approved by Aphria Shareholders at the Aphria Meeting.
Failure to strictly comply with the requirements with respect to the Dissent Rights set forth in the OBCA, the Plan of Arrangement and the Interim Order will result in the loss of any right to dissent. Anyone who is a beneficial owner of Aphria Shares registered in the name of an Intermediary and who wishes to dissent should be aware that only registered Aphria Shareholders are entitled to exercise Dissent Rights.
If you wish to exercise Dissent Rights, you should review the requirements summarized in this Circular carefully and consult with your legal advisor. See “Aphria Dissenting Shareholders’ Rights”, “General Information about the Aphria Meeting and Voting – Aphria Dissenting Shareholders’ Rights”, and “Appendix “K” of this Circular.
Accounting Treatment
The Combined Company will account for the acquisition pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement as a reverse acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in U.S. GAAP requires that either Tilray or Aphria be designated as the acquirer for accounting purposes based on the evidence available. Aphria will be treated as the acquiring entity for accounting purposes.
In identifying Aphria as the acquiring entity, Tilray and Aphria reviewed the accounting guidance as provided in Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations, which takes into account the type of consideration, the structure of the Arrangement and the other transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement, relative outstanding share ownership, the composition of the Combined Company board of directors, designation of senior management positions of the Combined Company, particularly the chief executive officer, relative voting rights, and the relative size as measured by assets, revenue or earnings as well as other metrics an investor would use for evaluating the respective company’s current and future financial performance.
Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations
Pursuant to the Arrangement, a Resident Holder, other than a Resident Dissenter, will exchange their Aphria Shares for Tilray Shares. Generally, such Resident Holder will be considered to have disposed of such Aphria Shares for proceeds of disposition equal to the aggregate fair market value at the Effective Time of the Tilray Shares received by such Resident Holder under the Arrangement, and will realize a capital gain (or a capital loss) to the extent that such proceeds of disposition exceed (or are less than) the aggregate of the Resident Holder’s adjusted cost base of the Aphria Shares immediately before the time of disposition and any reasonable costs of disposition.
Aphria Shares held by a Non-Resident Holder, other than a Non-Resident Dissenter, will be exchanged for Tilray Shares as part of the Arrangement. Generally, such Non-Resident Holder will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act on any capital gain realized on the disposition of Aphria Shares under the Arrangement unless the Aphria Shares are “taxable Canadian property” and are not “treaty-protected property” to the Non-Resident Holder.
The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by the summary set forth in this Circular under the heading “Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations”. Aphria Shareholders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the Canadian federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement.
Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations
Aphria Shareholders should carefully read the information in this Circular under “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” which qualifies the information set out below and should consult their own tax advisors.
Aphria Shareholders should not recognize gain or loss as a result of the Arrangement for U.S. tax purposes. Each holder’s aggregate tax basis in Tilray Shares received in the Arrangement, should equal the aggregate tax basis of the
25

TABLE OF CONTENTS

holder’s Aphria Shares surrendered in the Arrangement. Each holder’s holding period for Tilray Shares received in the Arrangement should include such holder’s holding period for the Aphria Shares surrendered in the Arrangement.
Holders who acquired different blocks of Aphria Shares with different holding periods and tax bases must generally apply the foregoing rules separately to each identifiable block of Aphria Shares. Any such holder should consult its tax advisor with regard to identifying the bases or holding periods of the particular shares of Tilray Shares received in the Arrangement.
Support Agreements
Aphria Support Agreements
Simultaneously with the execution of the Arrangement Agreement, management and the Tilray Board and certain holders of Aphria Shares (the “Aphria Supporting Shareholders”) have entered into a voting and support agreements (the “Aphria Support Agreements”), pursuant to which the Aphria Supporting Shareholders agreed, among other things, to vote their Aphria Shares in favour of the Aphria Resolution. The Aphria Support Agreements terminate upon the occurrence of certain events, including the termination of the Arrangement Agreement in accordance with its terms. See “General Information about the Aphria Meeting and Voting – Aphria Agreement”.
Tilray Support Agreements
Simultaneously with the execution of the Arrangement Agreement, management and the Aphria Board and certain holders of Tilray Shares (the “Tilray Supporting Stockholders”) have entered into a voting and support agreements (the “Tilray Support Agreements”), pursuant to which the Tilray Supporting Stockholders agreed, among other things, to vote their Tilray Shares in favour of the Tilray Resolutions. Pursuant to the Tilray Support Agreement entered into between Aphria and Brendan Kennedy, Mr. Kennedy provided additional covenants to, among other things, vote his Tilray Subject Shares in favor of certain governance measures and in support of any other measures put forward by management of the Combined Company for a period from and after the Effective Time until the Business Day immediately following the second annual general meeting of Tilray Stockholders to occur after the Effective Time. The Tilray Support Agreements terminate upon the occurrence of certain events, including the termination of the Arrangement Agreement in accordance with its terms. See “General Information about the Tilray Meeting and Voting – Tilray Support Agreement”.
No Fractional Shares
In no event shall any Aphria Shareholder be entitled to a fractional Tilray Share. Where the aggregate number of Tilray Shares to be issued to an Aphria Shareholder as Consideration under the Arrangement would result in a fraction of a Tilray Share being issuable, the number of Tilray Shares to be received by such Aphria Shareholder shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Tilray Share.
See “Description of the Arrangement – No Fractional Shares”.
Risk Factors
There are a number of risk factors relating to the Arrangement, the business of Aphria, the business of Tilray and the business of the Combined Company, all of which should be carefully considered by Aphria Shareholders and Tilray Stockholders.
See “Risk Factors – Risks Related to the Arrangement”, “The Arrangement Agreement and Related Agreements – Risks”, “Information Concerning Tilray – Risks and Uncertainties” and “Risk Factors – Risks Related to the Combined Company”.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

RISK FACTORS
The following risk factors should be considered by Aphria Shareholders and Tilray Stockholders in evaluating whether to approve the Aphria Resolution and the Tilray Proposals, respectively. These risk factors should be considered in conjunction with the other information contained in or incorporated by reference into this Circular. These risk factors relate to the Arrangement. For information on risks and uncertainties relating to the business of Aphria, see “Additional Information Concerning Aphria and Documents Incorporated by Reference by Aphria” and for information on risks and uncertainties relating to the business of Tilray, see “Additional Information Concerning Tilray and Documents Incorporated by Reference by Tilray”.
Risks Related to the Arrangement
Conditions precedent to closing of the Arrangement
The completion of the Arrangement is subject to a number of conditions precedent, some of which are outside Aphria’s and Tilray’s control, including receipt of the Final Order, receipt of Aphria Shareholder Approval, receipt of Tilray Stockholder Approval and receipt of Required Regulatory Approvals.
In addition, the completion of the Arrangement by Aphria and Tilray is conditional on, among other things, no Material Adverse Effect having occurred, or having been disclosed to the public (if previously undisclosed to the public) in respect of the other Party.
There can be no certainty, nor can Aphria or Tilray provide any assurance, that all conditions precedent to the Arrangement will be satisfied or waived, or, if satisfied or waived, when they will be satisfied or waived and, accordingly, the Arrangement may not be completed. If the Arrangement is not completed, the market price of Aphria Shares and/or Tilray Shares may be adversely affected.
The Regulatory Approvals may not be obtained or, if obtained, may not be obtained on a favourable basis
To complete the Arrangement, each of Aphria and Tilray must make certain filings with and obtain certain consents and approvals from various governmental and regulatory authorities. The Required Regulatory Approvals have not been obtained yet. The regulatory approval processes may take a lengthy period of time to complete, which could delay completion of the Arrangement. If obtained, the Required Regulatory Approvals may be conditioned, with the conditions imposed by the applicable Governmental Entity not being acceptable to either Aphria or Tilray, or, if acceptable, not being on terms that are favourable to the Combined Company. There can be no assurance as to the outcome of the regulatory approval processes, including the undertakings and conditions that may be required for approval or whether the Regulatory Approvals will be obtained. If not obtained, or if obtained on terms that are not satisfactory to either Aphria or Tilray, the Arrangement may not be completed.
Market price of the Aphria Shares and Tilray Shares
If, for any reason, the Arrangement is not completed or its completion is materially delayed and/or the Arrangement Agreement is terminated, the market price of Aphria Shares and Tilray Shares may be materially adversely affected. Depending on the reasons for terminating the Arrangement Agreement, Aphria’s or Tilray’s business, financial condition or results of operations could also be subject to various material adverse consequences, including as a result of paying the Aphria Termination Amount or Tilray Termination Amount, as applicable, or the Transaction Expenses.
Additionally, the market price for Tilray Shares, the market price for the Aphria Shares, and the market price of stock of other companies operating in the cannabis industry, has been extremely volatile. The volatility of the market price for Aphria Shares and Tilray Shares may be based on speculative trading of each of Aphria Shares and Tilray Shares and merger arbitrage.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the trading price of Tilray Shares ranged between a low sales price of US$2.43 and a high sales price of US$22.95 and included single day fluctuations as high as 64.13%. Additionally, during 2019, the trading price of Tilray Shares fluctuated between a low sales price of US$15.57 and a high sales price of US$106.00 per share. The market price of Tilray Shares may continue to be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to numerous factors, many of which are beyond Tilray’s control, including the following: (i) actual or anticipated fluctuations in Tilray’s quarterly results of operations; (ii) recommendations by securities research analysts; (iii) changes in the economic performance or market valuations of other issuers that investors deem comparable to Tilray; (iv) the addition or departure of Tilray’s executive officers or other key personnel; (v) the

release or expiration of lock-up or other transfer restrictions on Tilray Shares, such as the release of 11.0 million Tilray Shares on April 3, 2020, 19.5 million shares, in aggregate, of Class 1 and Class 2 common stock on June 5, 2020, and 7.0 million Tilray Shares on December 14, 2020, each associated with Tilray’s downstream merger transaction in 2019; (vi) sales or perceived sales, or the expectation of future sales, of Tilray Shares; (vii) significant acquisitions or business combinations, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by or involving Tilray or Tilray’s competitors; and (viii) news reports relating to trends, concerns, technological or competitive developments, regulatory changes and other related issues in the cannabis industry or Tilray’s target markets.
During the year ended May 31, 2020, the trading price of Aphria Shares ranged between a low sales price of C$2.65 and a high sales price of C$10.08 and included single day fluctuations as high as 23.00%. Additionally, during 2019, the trading price of Aphria Shares fluctuated between a low sales price of C$4.76 and a high sales price of C$22.00 per share. The market price of Aphria Shares may continue to be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to numerous factors, many of which are beyond Aphria’s control, including the following: (i) actual or anticipated fluctuations in Aphria’s quarterly results of operations; (ii) recommendations by securities research analysts; (iii) changes in the economic performance or market valuations of other issuers that investors deem comparable to Aphria; (iv) the addition or departure of Aphria’s executive officers or other key personnel; (v) the release or expiration of lock-up or other transfer restrictions on Aphria Shares; (vi) sales or perceived sales, or the expectation of future sales, of Aphria Shares; (vii) significant acquisitions or business combinations, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by or involving Aphria or Aphria’s competitors; and (viii) news reports relating to trends, concerns, technological or competitive developments, regulatory changes and other related issues in the cannabis industry or Aphria’s target markets.
Investors may also purchase Tilray Shares or Aphria Shares to hedge existing exposure in Tilray Shares or Aphria Shares or to speculate on the price of Tilray Shares or Aphria Shares. Speculation on the price of Tilray Shares or Aphria Shares may involve long and short exposures. To the extent aggregate short exposure exceeds the number of Tilray Shares or Aphria Shares available for purchase in the open market, investors with short exposure may have to pay a premium to repurchase Tilray Shares or Aphria Shares for delivery to lenders of such common shares. Those repurchases may, in turn, dramatically increase the price of Tilray Shares or Aphria Shares until investors with short exposure are able to purchase additional Tilray Shares or Aphria Shares, as applicable, to cover their short position. This phenomenon is often referred to as a “short squeeze”. A short squeeze could exacerbate volatile price movements in Tilray Shares or Aphria Shares that are not directly correlated to the operating performance or prospects of Tilray or Aphria, respectively. Once investors purchase the shares necessary to cover their short position, Tilray’s or Aphria’s share price will likely decline rapidly and substantially relative to its levels during the short squeeze with such decline being unrelated to operating performance or prospects of the company, and may not return to levels at or above those during the short squeeze for a long time or at all. As a result, if an investor purchases Tilray Shares or Aphria Shares during a short squeeze, the investor will be at an increased risk of failing to sell the shares at a price greater than what the investor paid for them and losing some or all of the investor’s investment.
Termination in certain circumstances
Each of Aphria and Tilray has the right, in certain circumstances, in addition to termination rights relating to the failure to satisfy the conditions of closing, to terminate the Arrangement. Accordingly, there can be no certainty, nor can Aphria or Tilray provide any assurance that the Arrangement will not be terminated by either of Aphria or Tilray prior to the completion of the Arrangement. In addition, if the Arrangement is not completed by the Outside Date (subject to the right of either Party to extend such Outside Date by up to an additional 60 days if the Required Regulatory Approvals have not been obtained or the Final Order has not been obtained as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, in each case, by such date as further described in the Arrangement Agreement), either Aphria or Tilray may choose to terminate the Arrangement Agreement. The Arrangement Agreement also includes termination amounts payable if the Arrangement Agreement is terminated in certain circumstances. Additionally, any termination will result in the failure to realize the expected benefits of the Arrangement in respect of the operations and business of Aphria and Tilray.
The Termination Amounts provided under the Arrangement Agreement may discourage other parties from attempting to acquire Aphria or Tilray
Under the Arrangement Agreement, each of Aphria and Tilray is required to pay to the other a termination amount of C$65 million in the event the Arrangement Agreement is terminated in connection with entry into a Superior Proposal. This termination amount may discourage other parties from attempting to acquire Aphria Shares or Tilray
30

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Shares or otherwise make an Acquisition Proposal to Aphria or Tilray, even if those parties, in the case of Aphria, would otherwise be willing to offer greater value to Aphria Shareholders than that offered by Tilray under the Arrangement, or in the case of Tilray, would be willing to offer Tilray Stockholders a benefit greater than what the Transaction offers.
Uncertainty surrounding the Arrangement
As the Arrangement is dependent upon receipt, among other things, of the Required Regulatory Approvals and satisfaction of certain other conditions, its completion is uncertain. If the Arrangement is not completed for any reason, there are risks that the announcement of the Arrangement and the dedication of Aphria’s and Tilray’s resources to the completion thereof could have a negative impact on their respective relationships with their stakeholders and could have a material adverse effect on the current and future operations, financial condition and prospects of each of Aphria and Tilray.
In addition, each of Aphria and Tilray will incur significant transaction expenses in connection with the Arrangement, regardless of whether the Arrangement is completed.
Restrictions from pursuing business opportunities
Each of Aphria and Tilray is subject to customary non-solicitation provisions under the Arrangement Agreement, pursuant to which, the Parties are restricted from soliciting, initiating or knowingly encouraging any Acquisition Proposal, among other things. The Arrangement Agreement also restricts them from taking specified actions until the Arrangement is completed without the consent of the other Party. These restrictions may prevent each Party from pursuing attractive business opportunities that may arise prior to the completion of the Arrangement.
Risks associated with a fixed exchange ratio
The Exchange Ratio is fixed and will not increase or decrease due to fluctuations in the market price of Aphria Shares or Tilray Shares. The market price of Aphria Shares or Tilray Shares could each fluctuate significantly prior to the Effective Date in response to various factors and events, including, without limitation, as a result of the differences between Aphria’s and Tilray’s actual financial or operating results and those expected by investors and analysts, changes in analysts’ projections or recommendations, changes in general economic or market conditions, and broad market fluctuations. As a result of such fluctuations, historical market prices are not indicative of future market prices or the market value of the Tilray Shares that holders of Aphria Shares will receive on the Effective Date. There can be no assurance that the market value of the Tilray Shares that the holders of Aphria Shares will receive on the Effective Date will equal or exceed the market value of the Aphria Shares held by such Aphria Shareholders prior to the Effective Date. Similarly, there can be no assurance that the trading price of Tilray Shares will not decline following the completion of the Arrangement.
The foregoing risks or other risks arising in connection with the failure of the Arrangement, including the diversion of management attention from conducting the business of Aphria and Tilray, may have a material adverse effect on Aphria’s and Tilray’s business operations, financial results and share price.
Risks Related to the Combined Company
The business and operations of the Combined Company will be subject to the risks described in the documents of Aphria and Tilray incorporated by reference in this Circular, including, without limitation, the risks described in Aphria’s annual information form for the year ended May 31, 2020 and in Aphria’s management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations for the six months ended November 30, 2020 and Tilray’s Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, and certain unexpected, unforeseen or unknown risks. The Combined Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks. The market or trading price of Aphria’s and Tilray’s securities could decline due to any of these risks. Additional risks not presently known to Aphria and Tilray or that Aphria and Tilray currently considers immaterial may also prove to be material and may impair the Combined Company’s business and operations. In addition to risks associated with Aphria’s and Tilray’s business and operations, the following additional risks are associated with the Combined Company.
Aphria and Tilray may not integrate successfully
Aphria and Tilray intend to integrate their operations together. However, operational and strategic decisions and staffing decisions have not yet been made. As a result, the Arrangement will present challenges to management, including the integration of management structures, operations, information technology and accounting systems and
31

TABLE OF CONTENTS

personnel of the two companies, and special risks, including possible unanticipated liabilities, unanticipated costs, diversion of management’s attention and the loss of key employees or customers. These decisions and the ‎integration of Aphria’s and Tilray’s global operations may present ‎challenges to management, ‎including the integration of systems and personnel, ‎and special risks, including possible unanticipated ‎liabilities, unanticipated costs, and the loss of key ‎employees.
The ability to realize the benefits of the Arrangement may depend in part on successfully consolidating ‎‎functions and integrating operations, procedures and personnel in a timely and efficient manner, as well ‎as on ‎the Combined Company’s ability to realize the anticipated growth opportunities and synergies, ‎efficiencies and cost ‎savings from integrating Aphria’s and Tilray’s businesses following ‎completion of the Arrangement. ‎‎The performance of the Combined Company after ‎completion of the ‎Transaction could be adversely affected if the Combined Company cannot retain key employees to ‎‎assist in the ongoing operations. As a result of these factors, it is ‎possible that the cost reductions and ‎synergies expected will not be realized.‎
The difficulties that management of the Combined Company encounters in the transition and integration processes could have an adverse effect on the revenues, level of expenses and operating results of the Combined Company. The amount and timing of the ‎synergies the Parties hope to realize may not occur as planned. ‎As a result of these factors, it is possible that any anticipated benefits from the Arrangement will not be realized.
The pro forma financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes only and may not be an indication of the Combined Company’s financial condition or results of operations following the Arrangement
The pro forma financial statements contained in this Circular are presented for illustrative purposes only and may not be an indication of the Combined Company’s financial condition or results of operations following the Arrangement for a number of reasons (including challenges related to the COVID-19 pandemic). For example, the pro forma financial statements have been derived from the historical financial statements of Aphria and Tilray and certain adjustments and assumptions have been made regarding the Combined Company after giving effect to the Arrangement. The information upon which these adjustments and assumptions have been made is preliminary, and these types of adjustments and assumptions are difficult to make with complete accuracy. Moreover, the pro forma financial statements do not reflect all costs that are expected to be incurred by the Combined Company in connection with the Arrangement. For example, the impact of any incremental costs incurred in integrating Aphria and Tilray is not reflected in the pro forma financial statements. As a result, the actual financial condition and results of operations of the Combined Company following the Arrangement may not be consistent with, or evident from, these pro forma financial statements. In addition, the assumptions used in preparing the pro forma financial information may not prove to be accurate, and other factors may affect the Combined Company's financial condition or results of operations following the Arrangement (including challenges related to the COVID-19 pandemic). Any potential decline in the Combined Company’s financial condition or results of operations may cause a significant decrease in the stock price of Tilray.
The issuance and future sale of Tilray Shares could affect the market price
Based on number of outstanding Aphria Shares as of March 12, 2021, Tilray currently expects to issue and make available for issuance at the Effective Time an aggregate of 298,450,205 Tilray Shares. The issuance of these shares, and the sale of Tilray Shares in the public market from time to time, could depress the market price for Tilray Shares.
Additional Indebtedness
The Combined Company may be required to draw down or incur additional Indebtedness under its credit facilities or other sources of debt financing. The additional Indebtedness will increase the interest payable by the Combined Company from time to time until such amounts are repaid, which will represent an increase in the Combined Company’s cost and a potential reduction in its income. In addition, the Combined Company may need to find additional sources of financing to repay this amount when it becomes due.
The Tilray Shares to be received by Aphria Shareholders as a result of the Arrangement will have different rights from the Aphria Shares
Tilray is a Delaware corporation. Aphria is a company continued under the OBCA. Upon completion of the Arrangement, Aphria Shareholders will become Tilray Stockholders and their rights as stockholders will be governed by the Current Tilray Organizational Documents and Delaware Law. Certain of the rights associated with Tilray Shares under Delaware Law are different from the rights associated with Aphria Shares under the OBCA. For a discussion of the different rights associated with Tilray Shares, see Appendix “J” to this Circular.
32

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Enforcement of rights against the Combined Company in Canada
Tilray is located outside Canada and, following the Effective Time, certain of its directors, officers and experts are expected to reside outside of Canada. Accordingly, it may not be possible for Tilray Stockholders to effect service of process within Canada upon the Combined Company or the majority of its directors, officers or experts, or to enforce judgments obtained in Canadian courts against the Combined Company or the majority of its directors, officers or experts.
Competition
The Combined Company expects significant competition from other companies. Some of these companies may have significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than the Combined Company, may be able to devote greater resources to the development, promotion, sale and support of their products and services, and may have more extensive customer bases and broader customer relationships. The Combined Company’s future success depends upon its ability to achieve competitive per unit costs through increased production and on its ability to produce and sell higher margin products. To the extent that the Combined Company is not able to produce its products at competitive prices or consumers prioritize established low margin products over innovative, higher margin products, the Combined Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
Should the size of the cannabis market increase as projected, the overall demand for products and number of competitors will increase as well, and in order for the Combined Company to be competitive it will need to invest significantly in research and development, market development, marketing, production expansion, new client identification, distribution channels and client support. If the Combined Company is not successful in obtaining sufficient resources to invest in these areas, the Combined Company’s ability to compete in the market may be adversely affected, which could materially and adversely affect the Combined Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
For a detailed discussion of the competition risks applicable to the Combined Company, see the “Competition” risk factor in Aphria’s annual information form for the year ended May 31, 2020 and Aphria’s management’s discussion & analysis for the three and six months ended November 30, 2020, and “Risks related to the Arrangement” and “Risks related to Adult-Use Cannabis” risk factors in Tilray’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.
Reliance on third-party suppliers, manufacturers and contractors
The Combined Company intends to maintain a full supply chain for the provision of products and services to the regulated cannabis industry. Due to the novel regulatory landscape for regulating cannabis in Canada, the European Union, and other international markets in which the Company will do business, and the variability surrounding the regulation of cannabis in the U.S., the Combined Company’s third-party suppliers, manufacturers and contractors may elect, at any time, to decline or withdraw services necessary for the Combined Company’s operations. Loss of these suppliers, manufacturers and contractors, including for non-cannabis based products coming from the U.S., may have a material adverse effect on the Combined Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
In addition, any significant interruption, negative change in the availability or economics of the supply chain or increase in the prices for the products or services provided by any such third party suppliers, manufacturers and contractors could materially impact the Combined Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Any inability to secure required supplies and services or to do so on appropriate terms could have a materially adverse impact on the Combined Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
For a detailed discussion of the competition risks applicable to the Combined Company, see the “Reliance on Third Party Suppliers, Manufacturers and Contractors” risk factor in Aphria’s annual information form for the year ended May 31, 2020 and Aphria’s management’s discussion & analysis for the three and six months ended November 30, 2020, and “General Business Risks and Risk Related to Our Financial Conditions and Operations,” “Risks Related to the Medical Cannabis Business” and “Risks Related to COVID-19” risk factors in Tilray’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Highly Regulated Industry and Evolving Regulatory Landscape
The Combined Company operates in a highly regulated and rapidly evolving market. The laws, regulations and guidelines generally applicable to the cannabis industry domestically and internationally may change in ways currently unforeseen. The Combined Company’s operations are subject to a variety of laws, regulations, guidelines and policies, whether in Canada, the European Union, the United States or elsewhere, relating to the cultivation, manufacture, import, export, management, transportation, storage, packaging/labelling, advertising and promotion, sale, health and safety and disposal of cannabis, including, but not limited to, the Cannabis Act, any regulations thereunder, and laws, regulations, guidelines and policies relating to drugs, controlled substances, health and safety, the conduct of operations and the protection of the environment, and applicable stock exchange rules and regulations. Any amendment to or replacement of existing laws, regulations, guidelines or policies may cause adverse effects to the Combined Company’s operations. The risks to the Combined Company’s business represented by subsequent regulatory changes could reduce the addressable market for the Combined Company’s products and could materially and adversely affect the Combined Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
For a detailed discussion of the competition risks applicable to the Combined Company, see the “Highly Regulated Industry” risk factor in Aphria’s annual information form for the year ended May 31, 2020 and Aphria’s management’s discussion & analysis for the three and six months ended November 30, 2020, and “Risks Related to Adult-Use Cannabis” and “Risks Related to the Medical Cannabis Business” risk factors in Tilray’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.
Risks Related to Taxes
The Arrangement may give rise to taxable income in the United States for Aphria Shareholders who are U.S. citizens or residents and there can be no assurances that material adverse tax consequences will not result from the Arrangement
The Arrangement is expected to qualify as a “reorganization” under section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. However, there can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) will agree with or not otherwise challenge this position on the tax treatment of the Arrangement, which could result in the Arrangement being treated as a taxable exchange. Neither Aphria nor Tilray has applied for a ruling or received a tax opinion of counsel related to the Arrangement and neither intends to do so.
The effective income tax rate of income of Aphria and its Subsidiaries could increase after completion of the Arrangement
Since Aphria and its non-U.S. Subsidiaries will become wholly owned Subsidiaries of Tilray after completion of the Arrangement, the profits of Aphria and its Subsidiaries may be subject to U.S. taxation prior to distribution to shareholders, which could increase the effective tax rate on such income. For example, Aphria and its non-U.S. Subsidiaries will become “controlled foreign corporations” under U.S. federal income tax law, which will subject certain types of income to anti-deferral rules. In addition, distributions from Aphria to Tilray may be subject to U.S. federal income tax or withholding prior to or at the time of distribution to shareholders. This could have the effect of increasing the effective income tax rate applicable to such income in comparison to the current effective income tax rate on Aphria’s income. Post-Arrangement restructuring may help to mitigate this risk, but there can be no guarantee that any such restructuring transactions will not themselves be taxable.
Changes in tax law could have a material impact on the Combined Company
Changes to the U.S. federal income tax laws are proposed regularly and there can be no assurance that, if enacted, any such changes would not have an adverse impact on the Combined Company. For example, President Biden has suggested the reversal or modification of some portions of the 2017 U.S. tax legislation and certain of these proposals, if enacted, could result in a higher U.S. corporate income tax rate than is currently in effect and thereby increase the effective tax rate of the Combined Company following the Arrangement compared to current expectations. There can be no assurance that any such proposed changes will be introduced as legislation, or if they are introduced that they would be enacted, or if enacted what form they would take.

Internet:
Go to www.proxyvote.com and enter the 16-digit control number printed on the form of proxy or scan the QR Code on the Aphria form of proxy to access and follow the instructions on the screen. Internet voting facilities for Aphria Shareholders of record are available 24 hours a day.
Phone:
Call the toll-free telephone number provided on the form of proxy and follow the promoted instructions. You will need to enter the 16-digit control number. Telephone voting facilities for Aphria Shareholders of record are available 24 hours a day.
Mail:
Enter your voting instructions, sign and date the form of proxy and return your completed form of proxy or voting instruction form in the enclosed postage paid envelope provided to Data Processing Centre, P.O. Box 3700 STN Industrial Park, Markham, ON L3R 9Z9.
Virtually at the Meeting:
Registered Aphria Shareholders and duly appointed proxyholders can vote at the appropriate times by completing a ballot online during the Aphria Meeting. It is anticipated that once voting has opened during the Aphria Meeting, the resolutions and voting choices will be displayed and you will be able to vote by selecting your voting choices from the options shown on the screen. You must click submit for your vote to be counted.
In all cases, registered Aphria Shareholders must ensure the form of proxy is received at least 48 hours (excluding non-Business Days) before the Aphria Meeting, or the adjournment thereof, at which the form of proxy is to be used.
Beneficial Aphria Shareholders
These meeting materials are being sent to both registered and non-registered Aphria Shareholders. If you are a non-registered Aphria Shareholder and Aphria or its agent has sent these materials directly to you, your name and address and information about your holdings of securities have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the Intermediary holding on your behalf.
Aphria Shareholders whose Aphria Shares are not registered in their own name are referred to in this Circular as “beneficial Aphria Shareholders”. There are two kinds of beneficial Aphria Shareholders: those who have objected to their name being made known to Aphria (called “OBOs” for Objecting Beneficial Owners) and those who have not objected (called “NOBOs” for Non-Objecting Beneficial Owners).
Aphria can request and obtain a list of their NOBOs from Intermediaries via its transfer agent and can use this NOBO list for distribution of proxy-related materials directly to NOBOs. Aphria has decided not to directly send proxy-related materials to its NOBOs. If you are a NOBO, your Intermediary will have provided to you a voting instruction form. Please return your instructions as specified in the voting instruction form. NOBOs that wish to attend the Aphria Meeting and vote in person (or appoint someone else to attend the Aphria Meeting and vote on such NOBOs’ behalf) can appoint themselves (or someone else) as a proxyholder by following the applicable instructions on the voting instruction form.
Applicable regulatory policy requires intermediaries to seek voting instructions from beneficial Aphria Shareholders. Every Intermediary has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions to clients. However, the majority of Intermediaries now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge. Broadridge typically mails its voting instruction form, which may be scanned, in lieu of the form of proxy. Beneficial Aphria Shareholders will be requested to complete and return the voting instruction form to Broadridge by mail. Alternatively, beneficial Aphria Shareholders can call a toll-free telephone number or access the internet to vote. The toll-free number and website will be provided by Broadridge on its voting instruction form. Broadridge then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of Aphria Shares

to be represented at the Aphria Meeting. A beneficial Aphria Shareholder cannot use a voting instruction form to vote Aphria Shares directly at the Aphria Meeting, as the voting instruction form must be returned as directed by Broadridge in advance of the Aphria Meeting in order to have the Aphria Shares voted.
Aphria will arrange for copies of its meeting materials for the Aphria Meeting to be delivered to OBOs and is responsible for paying the fees and costs of Intermediaries for their services in delivering proxy-related materials to OBOs in accordance with National Instrument 54-101 – Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer. Applicable regulatory policy requires Intermediaries to whom meeting materials have been sent to seek voting instructions from OBOs in advance of the Aphria Meeting. Every Intermediary has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions, which should be carefully followed by OBOs in order to ensure that their Aphria Shares are voted at the Aphria Meeting. Often, the form of proxy supplied to an OBO by its Intermediary is identical to that provided to registered Aphria Shareholders. However, its purpose is limited to instructing the registered Aphria Shareholder how to vote on behalf of the OBO. OBOs are requested to complete and return the voting instruction form in accordance with the instructions set out on that form. The voting instruction form must be returned as directed well in advance of the Aphria Meeting in order to have the Aphria Shares voted. OBOs that wish to attend the Aphria Meeting and vote in person (or appoint someone else to attend the Aphria Meeting and vote on such OBOs’ behalf) can appoint themselves (or someone else) as proxyholder by following the applicable instructions.
Beneficial Aphria Shareholders are not entitled, as such, to vote online at the Aphria Meeting or to deliver a form of proxy. Beneficial Aphria Shareholders should carefully follow the voting instructions they receive, including those on how and when voting instructions are to be provided, in order to have their Aphria Shares voted at the Aphria Meeting.
Beneficial Aphria Shareholders located in the United States who wish to attend, submit questions or vote at the Aphria Meeting or, if permitted, appoint a third party as their proxyholder, must obtain a valid legal proxy from their intermediary. Beneficial Aphria Shareholders located in the United States must follow the instructions from their intermediary included with the legal proxy form and the voting instruction form sent to them, or contact their intermediary to request a legal proxy form if they have not received one. The legal proxy form will be mailed to the person and address written on the voting instruction form. After obtaining a valid legal proxy from their intermediary, the beneficial Aphria Shareholders located in the United States must then submit such legal proxy to Broadridge.

Submitting Questions during the Aphria Meeting
Aphria expects to hold, to the extent feasible and practical, a live question and answer session in connection with the Aphria Meeting. Questions will be sent to be moderated before being sent to the Chair of the Aphria Meeting. Aphria reserves the right to edit profanity or other inappropriate language, or to exclude questions that are not pertinent to the Aphria Meeting matters or are otherwise inappropriate.
Appointment of Proxyholders
A proxy is a document that authorizes someone else to attend the Aphria Meeting and cast the votes for a registered Aphria Shareholder. Aphria Shareholders who are unable to attend the virtual Aphria Meeting and vote may still vote by appointing a proxyholder.
An Aphria Shareholder has the right to appoint a person (who need not be an Aphria Shareholder) to represent the Aphria Shareholder at the Aphria Meeting other than the persons designated in the form of proxy. To do so, you can appoint either yourself or such other person (other than the named proxyholders) online at www.proxyvote.com using the 16-digit control number provided on the form of proxy or voting instruction form, as this will reduce the risk of any mail disruptions in the current environment and will allow you to share the unique “Appointee Information” you have created with the person you have appointed to represent you at the Aphria Meeting more easily. If you do not designate a proxyholder or appointee when completing your form of proxy, or if you do not provide the exact “Appointee Identification Number” and “Appointee Name” to any other person (other than the named proxyholders) who has been appointed to access and vote at the Aphria Meeting on your behalf, that other person will not be able to access the meeting and vote on your behalf.
If you are a non-registered Aphria Shareholder and wish to virtually attend the Aphria Meeting, participate or vote at the Aphria Meeting, you have to insert your own name in the space provided on the voting instruction form sent to you by your Intermediary AND appoint yourself as your proxyholder, as described above. By doing so, you are instructing your Intermediary to appoint you as proxyholder.
Voting of Proxies
If you have properly filled out, signed and delivered your proxy, then your proxyholder can vote your Aphria Shares for you at the Aphria Meeting. The Aphria Shares represented by the proxy will be voted or withheld from voting in accordance with the instructions of the Aphria Shareholder on any ballot that may be called for and, if the Aphria
38

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Shareholder specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the Aphria Shares will be voted accordingly. If you sign and return your form of proxy without designating a proxyholder and do not give voting instructions, the Aphria Shares represented by such proxy will be voted FOR the approval of the Aphria Resolution.
The enclosed form of proxy confers discretionary authority upon the proxy nominee with respect to any amendments or variations to the matters identified in the Notice of Aphria Meeting and any other matters which may properly come before the Aphria Meeting. If any such amendments or variations are proposed to the matters described in the Notice of Aphria Meeting or if any other matters properly come before the Aphria Meeting, the proxyholder may vote your Aphria Shares as he or she considers best. The Aphria Board is not currently aware of any amendments to the matters to be presented for action at the Aphria Meeting or of any other matters to be presented for action at the Aphria Meeting.
Revocation of Proxies
A registered Aphria Shareholder who has submitted a proxy may revoke it at any time prior to it being exercised by: (a) voting again on the internet or by telephone or by any other means permitted by law; or (b) delivering a signed written notice changing their instructions to Chief Legal Officer of Aphria no later than April 13, 2021 (or the Business Day prior to the date of any adjournment, if the Aphria Meeting is adjourned) at 1 Adelaide Street East, Suite 2310, Toronto, ON, M5C 2V9, Attention: Christelle Gedeon, Chief Legal Officer (email: info @aphria.com ) or to the chair of the Aphria Meeting on the day of the Aphria Meeting (or any adjournment, if the Aphria Meeting is adjourned) at chair@aphria.com.

To make sure that your vote is counted, you should instruct your broker to vote your shares, following the procedures provided by your broker. Many brokers solicit voting instructions over the Internet or by telephone.
As the beneficial owner, you are also invited to attend the Tilray Meeting. However, you may not vote shares held in street name during the meeting unless you obtain a proxy, executed in your favor, from the holder of record (i.e., your broker).

If the Tilray Stockholder is a registered holder, the Tilray Stockholder can do this in one of three ways: First, before the Tilray Meeting, deliver a signed notice of revocation of proxy to the Secretary of Tilray at the address specified below. Second, complete and submit a later-dated Tilray proxy card. Third, attend the Tilray Meeting and vote at the meeting.

DESCRIPTION OF THE ARRANGEMENT
Background to the Arrangement
On December 15, 2020, Aphria and Tilray entered into the Arrangement Agreement, which sets out the terms and conditions for implementing the Arrangement. The Arrangement Agreement is the result of extensive arm’s length negotiations among Representatives of Aphria and Tilray and their respective legal and financial advisors. The following is a summary of the principal events leading up to the execution and public announcement of the Arrangement Agreement.
The Tilray Board and Tilray senior management team regularly reviews and considers Tilray’s long-term strategic plans and objectives, including business combinations, acquisitions, and other strategic opportunities. As part of this ongoing evaluation, the Tilray Board, together with Tilray’s senior management team, has from time to time considered various opportunities to enhance stockholder value, including the possibility of a strategic combination with other companies in the cannabis industry in order to strengthen its market position and drive cost efficiencies.
Aphria’s overall strategy has been to leverage its scale, expertise and capabilities to drive market share in Canada and internationally in order to achieve industry-leading, profitable growth and build sustainable, long-term shareholder value. In order to ensure long-term sustainable growth, Aphria continues to focus on developing strong capabilities in consumer insights, driving category management leadership and assessing growth opportunities through the introduction of innovative new products, increasing market share, maintaining a strong financial position and managing cost of goods and expenses. In order to be well-positioned to capitalize on the U.S. market should cannabis become federally legal, Aphria is focused on participating in federally permissible activities in the U.S., and is reviewing the landscape and looking to prepare for legalization of cannabis through the purchase of profit generating companies in other industries and converting their existing operations to include cannabis when it is federally legal to do so. In that regard, the key strategic pillars considered by the Aphria Board in respect of any potential acquisition or business combination included: (i) seeking synergies arising from leveraging the Aphria’s low-cost cultivation leadership and economies of scale opportunities in Canada; (ii) improving Aphria’s strategic position in the U.S.; (iii) maximizing Aphria’s opportunities in the rapidly emerging international legal cannabis market; and (iv) positioning the company in the capital markets as a leading global cannabis company, with the scale to attract institutional investors and strategic partners.
Tilray’s senior management team and the Tilray Board were generally familiar with Aphria, its business and its management team, and believed that a potential combination of the two companies at the right time and on appropriate terms could provide an opportunity to enhance stockholder value.
Irwin D. Simon, Aphria’s Chairman and CEO, had become acquainted with Brendan Kennedy, Tilray’s CEO, having met at prior industry conferences. Mr. Simon was also familiar with Andrew Pucher, Tilray’s Chief Corporate Development Officer, from prior discussions regarding the purchase and sale of cannabis between the two companies in early 2019.
In October 2019, a representative from an investment bank active in the cannabis industry and familiar with Aphria’s business and management team, contacted Messrs. Kennedy and Pucher by e-mail, to inquire if they would be interested in taking a meeting with Mr. Simon in New York to discuss the state of the industry and each other’s businesses. Representatives from this investment bank attended certain meetings between Tilray and Aphria between December 2019 and May 2020 but neither Tilray nor Aphria engaged this investment bank in connection with the Arrangement. Messrs. Kennedy and Pucher responded that they were willing to meet with Mr. Simon. As the date of the meeting approached, Mr. Kennedy informed Mr. Simon that he could no longer attend, but Michael Auerbach, a member of the Tilray Board who resides in New York, was able to attend along with Mr. Pucher. The meeting took place on November 22, 2019. Messrs. Simon, Auerbach and Pucher each acknowledged that Tilray’s and Aphria’s Canadian and international operations appeared to be highly complementary and that a combination of the businesses could result in significant new business opportunities and cost and revenue synergies. As a follow up to the meeting, Mr. Simon invited Messrs. Kennedy and Pucher to visit Aphria’s primary cannabis production facilities in Leamington, Ontario, to continue the dialogue.
On November 28, 2019, to facilitate future discussions, a mutual non-disclosure agreement was executed between Aphria and Tilray.

On February 14, 2020, Tilray provided Aphria with an initial draft of a non-binding term sheet regarding a potential combination of the two businesses. Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Simon had a discussion regarding the key components of the draft term sheet and potential next steps. The draft term sheet contemplated, among other things: (i) that the transaction would be structured as an all-stock merger, with shareholders of Tilray and Aphria owning 56% and 44% of the Combined Company, respectively; (ii) a governance structure that would include (A) Mr. Kennedy as CEO and Mr. Simon as Executive Chairman, and (B) a board of directors comprised of 8 members total, 4 directors designated by Tilray and 4 designated by Aphria; (iii) that the Combined Company would be called “Tilray”; and (iv) an exclusivity period through March 2, 2020, which was expected to coincide with the announcement of Tilray’s Q4 2019 earnings.

On March 18, 2020, at an Aphria Board meeting, Mr. Simon noted that the possible transaction with Tilray would be placed on hold in light of the rapidly changing events related to the COVID-19 global pandemic. However, during the month of March, Messrs. Kennedy and Simon remained in periodic contact via telephone and e-mail. On or about March 25, 2020, as the stock prices of Tilray and Aphria started to converge, Mr. Kennedy suggested to Mr. Simon that an equity ownership split of 50% for Tilray and 50% for Aphria be considered, as such a split would reflect the current market capitalizations of each of the companies. On March 29, 2020, Messrs. Kennedy and Simon had a conversation to discuss how to re-engage on the potential transaction. Among other things, both Messrs. Kennedy and Simon agreed to have their respective management teams share financial information and make themselves available for preliminary due diligence questions to better understand the potential value creation opportunity in combining the two businesses.

On May 9, 2020, following a review of proposals from potential independent financial advisors, the Tilray Transaction Committee held a meeting where it selected Imperial to serve as an independent financial advisor to conduct a strategic alternatives analysis review and/or issue a fairness opinion for a future strategic alternatives transaction. Imperial had previously served as financial advisor to Tilray’s special committee in connection with Tilray’s downstream merger transaction in 2019 whereby Privateer Holdings, Inc. (“Privateer”) merged with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of Tilray to effect an orderly release of 75 million shares of Tilray common stock held by Privateer. The Tilray Transaction Committee selected Imperial from a group of nationally-recognized financial advisors due to Imperial’s knowledge of Tilray’s business, its experience in the Canadian cannabis industry generally and its favorable fee structure compared to other potential advisors, which was not dependent on the outcome of the strategic alternatives review.
On May 13, 2020, representatives from Tilray and Aphria had a meeting to discuss potential next steps. In attendance were Messrs. Kennedy, Kruteck and Pucher from Tilray and Messrs. Simon, Merton and Ms. Faltischek from Aphria. Representatives from Jefferies and Cowen also attended the meeting. The parties discussed how to move the process forward to get to a position where Aphria would be comfortable providing Tilray with an updated draft term sheet for a potential transaction. It was agreed that the teams would reconvene in the coming days to discuss the financial outlook of the parties and potential cost synergies, following which Aphria anticipated that it would be in a position to provide Tilray with an updated draft term sheet.
On May 15, 2020, the Tilray Board held a meeting. A general update was provided by Messrs. Kennedy and Pucher to the Tilray Board on next steps with Aphria.
On May 19, 2020, representatives from Tilray and Aphria had a meeting to discuss questions arising from the ongoing reciprocal financial due diligence. In attendance were Messrs. Kennedy, Kruteck and Pucher from Tilray and Messrs. Simon, Merton and Ms. Faltischek from Aphria. Representatives from Jefferies and Cowen also attended the meeting.
On May 21, 2020, representatives from Tilray and Aphria had a meeting to discuss potential synergies that could be realized by combining the two companies. In attendance were Messrs. Kruteck and Pucher from Tilray and Mr. Merton and Ms. Faltischek from Aphria. Representatives from Jefferies and Cowen also attended the meeting. Conceptual approaches to categories of synergies were identified during the meeting, but the parties did not reach any agreement on the valuation of synergies during the discussion.
On May 22, 2020, the Tilray Board held a meeting. As part of the overall process with Aphria, the Tilray Board wanted to ensure that Tilray was appropriately exploring all potential avenues for value creation. To this end, Cowen presented its perspective as financial advisor to Tilray on a range of strategic alternatives including: (i) acquiring another licensed producer; (ii) merger or selling control of Tilray to another licensed producer (Aphria or others); (iii) US CBD or THC acquisitions; and (iv) attracting an investment from a strategic or financial party from outside the cannabis industry. It was discussed that, among these alternatives, it was unlikely that a strategic or financial investment would be forthcoming given the current pressure that the industry was facing and the fact that Tilray was still not EBITDA or cash flow positive, US CBD or THC acquisition alternatives were not attractive for Tilray at the current time and that, amongst potential acquisition, merger or sale alternatives among Canadian licensed producers, a combination with Aphria was the most attractive from a strategic and financial point of view for Tilray and its stockholders. Following further discussion, the Tilray Board continued to be supportive of dialogue with Aphria to explore a potential transaction.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

During the weekend of May 23/24, 2020, Messrs. Kennedy and Simon had several discussions during which they exchanged views on the financial diligence, potential synergies and cost savings. At this point, as a result of other corporate matters requiring the Aphria management team’s attention, Mr. Simon expressed that his team would have to focus internally. Messrs. Kennedy and Simon agreed to put strategic discussions on hold and to re-evaluate the potential for a transaction in approximately 30 days.
On May 27, 2020, the Tilray Transaction Committee executed an engagement letter to formally retain Imperial as independent financial advisor to conduct a strategic alternatives analysis review of potential transactions and to issue a fairness opinion to the Tilray Board in connection with a future strategic alternatives transaction.

Over the months of June and July 2020, there were periodic conversations between Messrs. Kennedy and Simon. However, no substantive progress was made on a potential transaction. During this period, the Tilray Transaction Committee continued to meet to discuss the review of strategic alternatives in addition to the potential transaction with Aphria or other industry participants.
On July 13, 2020, the Aphria Board held a meeting at which Mr. Simon re-iterated that discussions with Tilray remained on hold but that Tilray remained interested in re-engaging in discussions. In addition, Mr. Simon informed the Aphria Board that a third party (“Company A”) had contacted Aphria and proposed engaging in exploratory discussions regarding a potential strategic alliance or business combination.
On August 17, 2020, a meeting between Messrs. Kennedy and Simon occurred. During this meeting, it was discussed that Aphria had engaged in conversations with other strategic parties regarding a potential combination but was still interested in engaging in discussions with Tilray regarding a potential transaction. Messrs. Kennedy and Simon then discussed next steps to re-engage, including reciprocal site tours.
Between August 20, 2020, and August 25, 2020, the Tilray Transaction Committee held five meetings to discuss the re-engagement of discussions between Tilray and Aphria and further analyze strategic alternatives. The Tilray Transaction Committee also developed, and reviewed with management and the Tilray Board, strategic transaction policy guidelines to instruct all transaction participants on the avoidance of and disclosure of conflicts of interest in connection with the strategic alternatives review.
On August 25, 2020, representatives of Aphria toured Tilray’s Nanaimo, British Columbia facility, followed by a tour of Aphria’s Broken Coast facility. Representatives from Tilray included Mr. Joshua Eades, Tilray’s Chief Scientific Officer. Representatives from Aphria included Mr. Merton and Mr. Grame Holfeld.
On August 31, 2020, the Tilray Board held a meeting. The agenda included an update from Mr. Pucher on other potential transaction alternatives beyond Aphria. Mr. Pucher reviewed the strategic landscape and summarized Tilray management’s view of other potential transactions given recent dialogue that Tilray management had with selected other large cap and mid cap licensed producers. The Tilray Board was advised that ultimately, in Tilray management’s judgment, the transaction with Aphria still represented the most attractive alternative for long-term value creation for Tilray Stockholders. In addition, at the same meeting, the Tilray Board approved the Tilray Transaction Committee’s proposed strategic transaction policy guidelines to instruct all transaction participants on the avoidance of, and disclosure of, conflicts of interest.
During the first two weeks of September, several meetings took place between Messrs. Kennedy and Simon regarding key aspects of a potential term sheet that Aphria had discussed submitting to Tilray.
On September 9, 2020, the Aphria Board held a meeting at which Mr. Simon provided an update on the strategic opportunities available to Aphria. The Aphria Board was supportive of Aphria management continuing to engage in discussions with respect to these opportunities.

51

TABLE OF CONTENTS

implied an at-market transaction with no premium for Tilray Stockholders; and (ii) a condition to execution of definitive agreements that Tilray secure commitments from its convertible noteholders to exchange US$200 million of the outstanding Tilray notes into equity. The proposed ownership splits of 62.5% / 37.5% contemplated the dilution from the convertible note exchange.
On September 16, 2020, the Tilray Board held a meeting. A copy of the draft term sheet was shared with the Tilray Board and discussed in detail. Cowen was in attendance and discussed the impact of the revised terms on Tilray Stockholders from a financial point of view and the requirement of a note exchange.
On September 17, 2020, the Tilray Board held a meeting. During this meeting, a counterproposal to the draft of the term sheet provided by Aphria on September 15, 2020 was discussed. The counterproposal included, among other things an equity ownership split of 58% for Aphria and 42% for Tilray and inclusive of an assumed debt-for-equity exchange of US$150 million of Tilray’s convertible notes.
On September 18, 2020, the Aphria Board held a meeting. At this meeting, Fasken Martineau DuMoulin LLP (“Fasken”), legal counsel to Aphria, reviewed Aphria’s conflicts of interest policy, including the conflict of interest questionnaire completed by each office and director to identify any conflict of interest, with the Aphria Board and advised the Aphria Board of its obligations and responsibilities in the context of M&A transactions. Following discussion, the Aphria Board established the Aphria Transaction Advisory Committee, which was comprised of the following independent directors: Mr. Tomas Looney, Ms. Renah Persofsky and Mr. Walter Robb. The mandate of the Aphria Transaction Advisory Committee included: (i) providing guidance and oversight to Aphria management on the terms and conditions, diligence and analysis of any potential transaction and overseeing and supervising management’s negotiation and discussions of such potential transactions; and (ii) providing advice and guidance to the Aphria Board in respect of matters related to such potential transactions. During the same meeting, Jefferies presented the Aphria Board with an analysis of: (a) the non-binding term sheet received from Company A on September 13, 2020; (b) the non-binding term sheet provided to Tilray on September 15, 2020; and (c) the proposed terms of the transaction with SweetWater. At this meeting, the Aphria Board engaged in a discussion with respect to each of the potential transactions. Based on this discussion, the Aphria Board was of the view that the potential transaction with Company A was not as attractive as the potential transaction with Tilray since the proposed Company A transaction undervalued Aphria’s contribution to the combined entity. Accordingly, the Aphria Board instructed Aphria management to inform Company A that it was not interested in pursuing a transaction on the terms presented to Aphria. With respect to the potential of each of the Tilray and SweetWater transactions, the Aphria Board instructed Aphria management to continue its discussions with Tilray and SweetWater, respectively. Between September 23, 2020 and October 23, 2020, Aphria and Company A engaged in discussions regarding the terms of a potential transaction and the Aphria Transaction Advisory Committee and the Aphria Board were kept apprised of the status of those discussions.

On September 23, 2020, the Aphria Transaction Advisory Committee held a meeting at which Aphria management provided the Aphria Transaction Advisory Committee with an update on discussions with Tilray and noted that Aphria management was preparing an overview of the planned integrations and efficiencies expected with respect to the Combined Company that would be shared with Tilray.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

On October 23, 2020, the Tilray Board held a meeting at which it was briefed on progress with Aphria and the substance of the discussions at the management meetings in New York. No key decisions were made.
On October 24, 2020, a meeting was held between the Tilray and Aphria management teams to discuss potential synergies that could be realized from the transaction. In attendance from Tilray were Messrs. Levin, Kruteck and Pucher. In attendance from Aphria were Messrs. Merton and Meiers and Ms. Faltischek. Representatives from Cowen and Jefferies were in attendance as well. On this call, the Tilray and Aphria management teams compared areas of potential synergies and cost savings and arrived at a joint estimate of approximately C$100 million of annual run-rate cost synergies.
Later in the day on October 24, 2020, the Aphria Transaction Advisory Committee held a meeting to discuss the most recent proposal received by Aphria from Company A. The Aphria Transaction Advisory Committee expressed concerns with respect to the share consideration contemplated in the proposal in light of the recent increase in the share price of Company A and the multiples at which it was trading. At this meeting, the Aphria Transaction Advisory Committee also discussed the potential transaction with Tilray and considered Aphria management’s view that the acquisition of Tilray would assist Aphria with its U.S. strategy, provide access to European markets through Tilray’s presence in Portugal, allow for Cannabis 2.0 product extensions, and create potential synergies with Aphria’s existing facilities. The Aphria Transaction Advisory Committee expressed the view that the potential acquisition of SweetWater and the business combination with Tilray would create more value for Aphria and its stakeholders than a transaction with Company A.
On October 25, 2020, the Aphria Board held a meeting to receive an update from Aphria management on the status of each of the potential transactions under consideration and a summary of the discussions that had occurred with the Aphria Transaction Advisory Committee.

scope of review, assumptions and limitations contained therein, the Exchange Ratio is fair, from a financial point of view, to Tilray. Following this, the Tilray Board determined that the proposed Arrangement, and the other transactions and matters contemplated in the Arrangement Agreement and other transaction documents were advisable and in the best interests of the Company.
Following the foregoing meetings of the Aphria Board and the Tilray Board, the Arrangement Agreement and certain ancillary agreements were finalized. The Arrangement Agreement, the Aphria Support Agreements and the Tilray Support Agreements and certain other definitive agreements were executed, and the terms of the Arrangement were publicly announced in a joint news release issued by Aphria and Tilray on December 16, 2020, prior to the opening of trading on the TSX and the Nasdaq.
Our Reasons for the Arrangement
The Aphria Board and the Tilray Board each believe that, at this stage of development and expansion of the global cannabis market, companies with financial strength, a strategic footprint and scale, diverse product range, brand expertise and strong leadership are most likely to succeed in the long-term. The key strategic and financial benefits identified by both the Aphria Board and the Tilray Board during their respective evaluations of the Arrangement are summarized below. Since both boards of directors considered and reached the same conclusions on the common benefits of the Transaction described below, this information is being presented in a single section that reflects the views of each of the Aphria Board and the Tilray Board on the common benefits:
World’s Largest Global Cannabis Company. On a pro forma basis for the last twelve months reported by each company prior to the date of the announcement of the Arrangement on December 16, 2020, the Combined Company would have had revenue of approximately US$685 million (C$874 million), which would have been the highest among publicly reporting cannabis companies globally over that period. The Combined Company will be positioned in the capital markets as a leading global cannabis company, with the scale to attract institutional investors and strategic partnerships.
Strategic Footprint and Operational Scale. The Combined Company is expected to have the strategic footprint and operational scale necessary to compete more effectively in today’s consolidating cannabis market with a strong, flexible balance sheet, cash balance and access to capital, which Aphria and Tilray believe will give it the ability to accelerate growth and deliver long-term sustainable value for stockholders.
Low-Cost State-of-the-Art Production & The Leading Canadian Adult-Use Cannabis Producer. The Combined Company is expected to have one of the lowest cost production operations with its state-of-the-art facilities. In addition, the Combined Company will have a portfolio of carefully curated Cannabis 2.0 products brands across all consumer segments, including flower, pre-roll, capsules, vapes, edibles and beverages, that are sold through its distribution partners. On a pro forma basis, for the period of August through October 2020, the Combined Company would have held a 17.3% retail market share, the largest share held by any single licensed producer in Canada and 7% higher than the next closest competitor. (5) In the adult-use market in Canada, the Combined Company, on a pro forma basis for the last twelve months reported by each company prior to the date of the announcement of the execution of the Arrangement Agreement, would have had gross revenue of US$232 million (C$296 million) in the adult-use market in Canada, which would have been the most of any Canadian licensed producer.
Positioned to Pursue International Growth. The Combined Company will be well-positioned to pursue growth opportunities with its end-to-end EU-GMP supply chain and distribution, which will include (i) Aphria One’s Part II EU-GMP approved facility; (ii) ARA-Avanti Rx Part I EU-GMP approved facility; (iii) Aphria’s German cultivation facility; and (iv) Aphria’s German medical cannabis distribution footprint and (v) Tilray’s 2.7 million square foot EU-GMP cannabis cultivation and production facility in Portugal. Aphria is one of three companies selected in Germany to receive a licence for the in- country cultivation of medical cannabis and was awarded a total of five lots, which was the most available lots within the tender process, and is the only winner of the German tender with the permission to grow all three strains of medical cannabis approved by the BfArM. Aphria’s wholly-owned subsidiary, CC Pharma GmbH, will provide the Combined Company with distribution capabilities that will support the Aphria and Tilray medical cannabis brands to more than 13,000 pharmacies located throughout Germany. The Combined Company will have the opportunity to reach additional pharmacies and patients via distribution

relationships. Tilray’s EU-GMP cultivation and production facility in Portugal will provide the Combined Company with the capacity to cultivate and produce EU-GMP medical cannabis products in order to meet international demand and the Combined Company will be able to export products produced in such facility on a tariff-free basis to EU countries. Importantly, the Tilray EU-GMP cultivation and production facility in Portugal will allow the Combined Company to unlock markets beyond the EU, including supplying countries in Latin America that recognize the EU-GMP standard for the cultivation and production of medical cannabis and that have already federally legalized access to medical cannabis or are in the process of doing so.
Enhanced Consumer Packaged Goods Presence and Infrastructure in the U.S. The Combined Company is expected to have an improved position from a corporate, branding and products perspective if cannabis is legalized under U.S. federal law and allow the Combined Company to leverage several established third-party partnerships. In the United States, the Combined Company will have a strong consumer packaged goods presence and infrastructure with two strategic pillars: SweetWater, a leading cannabis lifestyle branded craft brewer, and Manitoba Harvest, a pioneer in branded hemp, CBD and wellness products with access to 17,000 stores in North America. The Combined Company is expected to leverage SweetWater’s craft beer manufacturing and distribution network to build brand awareness for the Combined Company’s leading cannabis brands via craft beers, hard seltzers, and other beverages as it seeks to take advantage of opportunities for both health and wellbeing beverage trends. The Combined Company also expects to pursue the opportunity to expand with new or existing CBD or other cannabinoid brands leveraging Manitoba Harvest’s strong hemp and wellness product platform. If cannabis is legalized under U.S. federal law, the Combined Company expects to be well-positioned to compete in the U.S. cannabis market given its existing strong cannabis brands and distribution system in addition to its track record of growth in consumer-packaged goods and cannabis.
Substantial Synergies. The combination of Aphria and Tilray is expected to deliver meaningful synergies arising from cost leadership and scale opportunities in the Canadian adult-use and medical cannabis sector. Within 24 months of the completion of the Transaction, the Combined Company expects to achieve approximately US$78 million (C$100 million) in annual pre-tax cost synergies. The Combined Company expects to achieve cost synergies in the key areas of cultivation and production, cannabis and product purchasing, sales and marketing and corporate expenses. This is expected to include capitalizing on Aphria’s expertise and cost management structure and focusing on the opportunity for Aphria’s Leamington, Ontario operations to fully supply and deliver additional volume for Tilray’s brands and to replace the need for Tilray to purchase wholesale cannabis from other licensed producers. Tilray’s London, Ontario facility is also expected to provide Aphria with excess capacity to increase production of additional product formats, including advancing Aphria’s launch of branded cannabis edibles and cannabis beverages in Canada. The Combined Company is considering utilizing Tilray’s existing Nanaimo, British Columbia facility to enhance the availability of Aphria’s premium Broken Coast brand to meet increasing consumer demand. The Combined Company’s scalable infrastructure, both in Canada and internationally, is expected to deliver cost leadership and scale opportunities in the Canadian adult-use and medical cannabis sector including significant improvements to net profits, net revenues and EBITDA.
Proven Leadership Team. The Combined Company will be led by a best-in-class management team and board of directors, with strong track records in consumer-packaged goods and cannabis experience internationally. Upon completion of the Arrangement, Aphria’s current Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Irwin D. Simon, will lead the Combined Company as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. The board of directors of the Combined Company will consist of nine members, seven of which, including Mr. Simon, are current Aphria directors and two of which will be from Tilray, including Brendan Kennedy, and one of which is to be designated. Aphria and Tilray are confident that the leadership team and proposed board of directors of the Combined Company provides a strong foundation for the Combined Company to accelerate growth.
Recommendation of the Aphria Board
The Aphria Board believes that the Arrangement is in the best interest of Aphria and is fair to the Aphria Shareholders. The Aphria Board unanimously recommends that Aphria Shareholders vote FOR the Aphria Resolution.

In considering the factors described above, individual members of the Aphria Board may have given different weight to different factors. The Aphria Board conducted an overall analysis of the factors described above, including thorough discussions with, and questioning of, Aphria management, and Aphria’s financial and legal advisors, and considered the factors overall to be favorable to, and to support, its determination.

the provisions of the Arrangement Agreement designed to restrict the ability of the Parties to solicit third party Acquisition Proposals but affording both sides the ability to consider and pursue an unsolicited Superior Proposal, the provisions of the Arrangement Agreement providing for the payment of the Aphria Termination Amount or the Tilray Termination Amount, as applicable, under specified circumstances relating to the termination of the Arrangement Agreement following the occurrence of an Acquisition Proposal and the conclusion of the Tilray Board that those provisions were an appropriate and reasonable means to increase the likelihood that the Arrangement will be completed;
the governance structure for the Combined Company, as reflected in the Arrangement Agreement, including:
the representation of directors from each of the Tilray Board and the Aphria Board on the board of directors of the Combined Company, with the board including two directors from Tilray (including Mr. Brendan Kennedy), and seven directors from Aphria (including Mr. Irwin Simon, the current Aphria CEO, as the chairman of the board of the Combined Company);
that Mr. Kennedy, Tilray’s current CEO and one other director designated by Tilray, would be a member of the board of directors of the Combined Company following the Arrangement, and the Tilray Board’s view of Mr. Kennedy as a leader with a strong reputation in the cannabis industry;

that principal offices will be maintained in Canada (Toronto, Leamington, and Vancouver Island), the United States (New York and Seattle), Portugal and Germany.
The Tilray Board also considered the potential risks of the Arrangement and potential conflicts of interest, including the following:
the possible diversion of management attention for an extended period of time during the pendency of the Arrangement and, following closing, the challenge of combining the businesses of two major international companies;
the risk that the anticipated cost savings will not be achieved;
the costs that may be incurred to combine the operations of Aphria and Tilray;
the potential conflicts of interest of Tilray’s officers and directors in connection with the Arrangement (for more information see “Description of the Arrangement – Interests of Aphria’s Directors and Management in the Arrangement”);
the risk of diverting management’s attention from other strategic priorities to implement integration efforts;
the risk that, because the Exchange Ratio under the Arrangement Agreement was fixed as of the time of execution of the Arrangement Agreement and would not be adjusted for changes in the market prices of Tilray Shares or Aphria Shares, the trading price of the Tilray Shares to be issued to Aphria Shareholders upon the consummation of the Arrangement could be significantly higher than it was at the time the Arrangement Agreement was entered into, and the fact that the Arrangement Agreement does not provide Tilray with a price-based termination right or other similar protection;
the fact that the Tilray Stockholders will not be permitted to seek appraisal of their shares in connection with the Arrangement;
the risk that Aphria Shareholders will exercise Dissent Rights in connection with the Arrangement;
the risk that Aphria’s financial performance may not meet Tilray’s expectations;
the substantial costs to be incurred in connection with the Arrangement, including those that could be incurred regardless of whether the Arrangement is consummated;
the ability of the Aphria Board, in certain circumstances, to terminate the Arrangement Agreement or change its recommendation that Aphria Shareholders approve the Arrangement;
that Tilray would be required to pay to Aphria a Termination Amount of C$65 million in the event the Tilray Board were to terminate the Arrangement Agreement under certain circumstances; and
the other risks associated with the Arrangement and the business of Aphria, Tilray and the Combined Company, including those described under “Risk Factors – Risks Related to the Arrangement”, “Information Concerning Aphria– Risks and Uncertainties”, “Information Concerning Tilray – Risks and Uncertainties” and “Risk Factors – Risks Related to the Combined Company”.
In addition, the Tilray Board was aware of and considered the interests of its directors and executive officers that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of Tilray Stockholders generally described in the section entitled “Interests of Tilray’s Directors and Management in the Arrangement” beginning on page 96 of this Circular. The foregoing discussion of the information and factors that the Tilray Board considered is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather is meant to include the material factors that the Tilray Board considered.
The Tilray Board considered all of these factors as a whole and, on balance, concluded that the potential benefits of the Arrangement outweighed the risks and uncertainties of the Arrangement. In addition, the Tilray Board was aware of and considered the interests of its directors and executive officers that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of Tilray Stockholders generally described in the section entitled “Interests of Tilray’s Directors and Management in the Arrangement”. In view of the wide variety of factors considered by the Tilray Board in connection with the evaluation of the Arrangement and the complexity of these matters, the Tilray Board did not find it useful, and did not attempt, to quantify, rank or otherwise assign relative weights to these factors. In considering the factors described above, individual members of the Tilray Board may have given different weight to different
63

TABLE OF CONTENTS

factors. The Tilray Board conducted an overall analysis of the factors described above, including thorough discussions with, and questioning of, Tilray’s management, and financial and legal advisors, and considered the factors overall to be favorable to, and to support, its determination.
The foregoing description of the Tilray Board’s consideration of the factors supporting the Arrangement is forward-looking in nature. This information should be read in light of the factors discussed in the section entitled “Information Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” beginning on page 12 of this Circular.
Description of the Plan of Arrangement
The following summary of certain transaction steps of the Plan of Arrangement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan of Arrangement, a copy of which is attached as Appendix “B” to this Circular.
The Arrangement is being implemented pursuant to a plan of arrangement under the laws of the Province of Ontario. The purpose of the Plan of Arrangement is to facilitate a series of transactions which will occur in a specific sequence and as a consequence of which Tilray, will acquire all of the outstanding Aphria Shares.
Pursuant to the Arrangement, commencing at the Effective Time, each of the following events or transactions shall occur and be deemed to occur in the following sequence, in each case, without any further authorization, act or formality on the part of any person:
1.
at the Effective Time,
(a)
each Dissent Share held by an Aphria Dissenting Shareholder who is ultimately determined to be entitled to be paid the fair value of the Dissent Shares in respect of which such Aphria Dissenting Shareholder has exercised Dissent Rights shall be, and shall be deemed to be transferred by the holder thereof, without any further act or formality on its part, to Aphria (free and clear of all Liens) and such Aphria Dissenting Shareholder will cease to be the holder thereof or to have any rights as a holder in respect of such Dissent Share other than the right to be paid the fair value of such Dissent Share determined and payable in accordance with their Dissent Rights under the laws of Ontario, as modified by the Plan of Arrangement and the Interim Order; and
(b)
at the same time as the preceding step occurs, the name of each Aphria Dissenting Shareholder shall be removed from the register of the Aphria Shares and such Dissent Shares shall be automatically cancelled as of the Effective Date;
2.
concurrently with the preceding steps:
(a)
each Aphria Share outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Dissent Shares held by Aphria Dissenting Shareholders who are ultimately determined to be entitled to be paid the fair value of their Dissent Shares as determined in accordance with their Dissent Rights under the laws of Ontario, as modified by the Plan of Arrangement and the Interim Order) shall be and shall be deemed to be transferred by the holder thereof to Tilray (free and clear of all Liens) in exchange for the issuance of the Consideration Shares;
(b)
at the same time as that preceding step occurs, the holder of each Aphria Share transferred to Tilray pursuant to the preceding step shall cease to be the holder thereof, or to have any rights as a holder thereof other than the right to receive the Consideration issuable in respect of each Aphria Share held pursuant to the preceding step and shall be removed from the register of the Aphria Shares and legal and beneficial title to each such Aphria Share shall be transferred to Tilray and Tilray will be and be deemed to be the transferee and legal and beneficial owner of such Aphria Share (free and clear of any Liens) and will be entered in the central securities register of Aphria as the sole holder thereof; and
(c)
Tilray will be the holder of all of the outstanding Aphria Shares;
3.
immediately after the preceding steps occur:
(a)
each Aphria Option, other than any Continuing Aphria Option, to the extent it has not been exercised as of the Effective Date, will be exchanged by the holder thereof, without any further act or formality and free and clear of all Liens, for a Replacement Option to purchase a number of Tilray Shares equal to the product of the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to two decimal places, multiplied by the number
64

TABLE OF CONTENTS

of Aphria Shares issuable on exercise of such Aphria Option immediately prior to the Effective Time (rounded down to the next whole number of Tilray Shares) for an exercise price per Tilray Share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to the exercise price per share of such Aphria Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to two decimal places, and the Aphria Options shall thereupon be cancelled. The term to expiry, conditions to and manner of exercise and other terms and conditions of each of the Replacement Options shall be the same as the terms and conditions of the Aphria Option for which it is exchanged except that such Replacement Options shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the Tilray Plan and, in the event of any inconsistency or conflict the Tilray Plan shall govern. It is intended that subsection 7(1.4) of the Tax Act apply to the exchange of Aphria Options by Aphria Securityholders resident in Canada who acquired Aphria Options by virtue of their employment. Accordingly, and notwithstanding the foregoing, if required, the exercise price of a Replacement Option held by such an Aphria Securityholders will be increased such that the In-The-Money Amount of the Replacement Option immediately after the exchange does not exceed the In-The-Money Amount of the Aphria Option immediately before the exchange. For any Aphria Option that is intended to qualify as an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, it is intended that such exchange will comply with Treasury Regulation Section 1.424(1)(a). For any Aphria Option that is a nonqualified option held by a U.S. taxpayer it is intended that such exchange will be implemented in a manner intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code. Any document previously evidencing the Aphria Option shall thereafter evidence and be deemed to evidence such Replacement Option and no certificates evidencing the Replacement Options shall be issued;
(b)
each Continuing Aphria Option shall, without any further action on the part of ‎any holder of any Continuing Aphria Option, be ‎continued on the same terms and c‎onditions as were applicable immediately prior to t‎he Effective Time, except that, ‎pursuant to the terms of the Aphria Omnibus Incentive Plan, the terms of the Continuing ‎Aphria Options shall be amended so as to substitute for t‎he Aphria Shares subject to such C‎ontinuing Aphria Options such number of Tilray Shares e‎qual to (A) the number of ‎Aphria Shares subject to the Continuing Aphria Options immediately ‎prior to the ‎Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to ‎two decimal p‎laces;
(c)
each Aphria RSU other than a Continuing Aphria RSU to the extent it has not been exercised as of the Effective Date, will be exchanged by the holder thereof, without any further act or formality and free and clear of all Liens, for an award of Replacement RSUs in respect of a number of Tilray Shares equal to the product of the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to two decimal places, multiplied by the number of Aphria Shares underlying such Aphria RSUs immediately prior to the Effective Time (rounded down to the next whole number of Tilray Shares), and the Aphria RSUs shall thereupon be cancelled. The term to expiry, conditions to and manner of receipt and other terms and conditions of each of the Replacement RSUs shall be the same as the terms and conditions of the Aphria RSU for which it is exchanged except that such Replacement RSU shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the Tilray Plan and, in the event of any inconsistency or conflict the Tilray Plan shall govern. Any document previously evidencing the Aphria RSUs shall thereafter evidence and be deemed to evidence such Replacement RSUs and no certificates evidencing the Replacement RSUs shall be issued. It is intended that subsection 7(1.4) of the Tax Act apply to the exchange of Aphria RSUs by Aphria Securityholders resident in Canada who acquired Aphria RSUs by virtue of their employment;
(d)
each Continuing Aphria RSU shall, without any further action on the part of ‎any holder of any Continuing Aphria RSU, be continued on the same terms and ‎conditions as were applicable immediately prior to ‎the Effective Time, except that, ‎pursuant to the terms of the Aphria Omnibus Incentive Plan, the terms of the Continuing ‎Aphria RSUs shall be amended so as to substitute for ‎the Aphria Shares subject to such ‎Continuing Aphria RSUs such number of Tilray Shares ‎equal to (A) the number of ‎Aphria Shares subject to the Continuing Aphria RSUs immediately p‎rior to the ‎Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to ‎two decimal ‎places;
(e)
each Aphria DSU other than a Continuing Aphria DSU to the extent it has not been exercised as of the Effective Date, will be exchanged by the holder thereof, without any further act or formality and free and clear of all Liens, for an award of Replacement DSUs in respect of a number of Tilray Shares

equal to the product of the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to two decimal places, multiplied by the number of Aphria Shares underlying such Aphria DSUs immediately prior to the Effective Time (rounded down to the next whole number of Tilray Shares), and the Aphria DSUs shall thereupon be cancelled. The term to expiry, conditions to and manner of receipt and other terms and conditions of each of the Replacement DSUs shall be the same as the terms and conditions of the Aphria DSU for which it is exchanged except that such Replacement DSU shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the Tilray Plan and, in the event of any inconsistency or conflict the Tilray Plan shall govern. Any document previously evidencing the Aphria DSUs shall thereafter evidence and be deemed to evidence such Replacement DSUs and no certificates evidencing the Replacement DSUs shall be issued. It is intended that subsection 7(1.4) of the Tax Act apply to the exchange of Aphria DSUs by Aphria Securityholders resident in Canada who acquired Aphria DSUs by virtue of their employment;
(f)
each Continuing Aphria DSU shall, without any further action on the part of ‎any holder of any Continuing Aphria DSU, be c‎ontinued on the same terms and ‎conditions as were applicable immediately prior to ‎the Effective Time, except that, ‎pursuant to the terms of the Aphria Omnibus Incentive Plan, the terms of the Continuing ‎Aphria DSUs shall be amended so as to substitute for ‎the Aphria Shares subject to such Continuing Aphria DSUs such number of Tilray Shares ‎equal to (A) the number of ‎Aphria Shares subject to the Continuing Aphria DSUs immediately ‎prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to ‎two decimal ‎places;
(g)
each 2016 Aphria Warrant, to the extent it has not been exercised as of the Effective Date, will be exchanged by the holder thereof, without any further act or formality and free and clear of all Liens, for a Replacement Warrant to purchase a number of Tilray Shares equal to the product of the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to two decimal places, multiplied by the number of Aphria Shares issuable on exercise of such Aphria Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time for an exercise price per Tilray Share equal to the exercise price per share of such Aphria Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to two decimal places, and rounded up to the nearest whole cent (provided that, if the foregoing calculation results in a Replacement Warrant being exercisable for a fraction of a Tilray Share, then the number of Tilray Shares subject to such Replacement Warrant shall be rounded down to the next whole number of Tilray Shares) and the 2016 Aphria Warrants shall thereupon be cancelled. The term to expiry, conditions to and manner of exercise and other terms and conditions of each of the Replacement Warrants shall be the same as the terms and conditions of the 2016 Aphria Warrant for which it is exchanged. Any document previously evidencing a 2016 Aphria Warrant shall thereafter evidence and be deemed to evidence such Replacement Warrant and no certificates evidencing the Replacement Warrants shall be issued;
(h)
other than the 2016 Aphria Warrants, each Aphria Warrant shall, without any further action on the part of any holder of Aphria Warrant, be continued on the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that, pursuant to the terms of the Aphria Warrant Indenture, the terms of the Aphria Warrants shall be amended so as to substitute for the Aphria Shares subject to such Aphria Warrants such number of Tilray Shares equal to (A) the number of Aphria Shares subject to the Aphria Warrants immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to two decimal places;
(i)
the Aphria Warrant Indenture shall be terminated and, for greater certainty, all rights to receive any securities of the Aphria formerly held by Aphria Securityholders shall be extinguished; and
4.
no person shall have any rights, liabilities or other obligations in respect of the share capital of Aphria other than Tilray and each holder of Aphria Shares, Aphria Options, Continuing Aphria Options, Aphria RSUs, Continuing Aphria RSUs, Aphria DSUs, Continuing Aphria DSUs or 2016 Aphria Warrants outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, with respect to each step set out above applicable to such holder, shall be deemed, at the time such step occurs, to have executed and delivered all consents, releases, assignments and waivers, statutory or otherwise, required to transfer all Aphria Shares, Aphria Options, Aphria RSUs, Aphria DSUs or 2016 Aphria Warrants held by such holder in accordance with such step.

Payment of Arrangement Consideration
Following receipt of the Final Order and on or prior to the Effective Date, Tilray shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Depositary in escrow pending the Effective Time, sufficient Tilray Shares (and any treasury directions addressed to Tilray’s transfer agent as may be necessary) to satisfy the aggregate Consideration to be paid to the Aphria Shareholders (other than Aphria Dissenting Shareholders) under the Plan of Arrangement.
Paramountcy
From and after the Effective Time: (i) the Plan of Arrangement shall take precedence and priority over any and all rights related to the securities of Aphria issued prior to the Effective Time; (ii) the rights and obligations of the holders of the securities of Aphria and any trustee and transfer agent therefor, shall be solely as provided for in the Plan of Arrangement; and (iii) all actions, causes of action, claims or proceedings (actual or contingent and whether or not previously asserted) based on or in any way relating to any securities of Aphria shall be deemed to have been settled, compromised, released and determined without liability except as set forth in the Plan of Arrangement.
Amendments to the Plan of Arrangement
Aphria and Tilray reserve the right to amend, modify and/or supplement the Plan of Arrangement at any time and from time to time prior to the Effective Time, provided that any such amendment, modification or supplement must be: (i) set out in writing, (ii) approved by Aphria and Tilray, (iii) filed with the Court, and, if made following the Aphria Meeting, approved by the Court, and (iv) communicated to or approved by the Aphria Shareholders if and as required by the Court. Any amendment, modification or supplement to the Plan of Arrangement may be proposed by Aphria at any time prior to the Aphria Meeting (provided Tilray shall have consented thereto, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) with or without any other prior notice or communication and, if so proposed and accepted by the persons voting at the Aphria Meeting (other than as may be required under the Interim Order), will become part of the Plan of Arrangement for all purposes. Any amendment, modification or supplement to the Plan of Arrangement that is approved or directed by the Court following the Aphria Meeting will be effective only if such amendment, modification or supplement (i) is consented to by each of Aphria and Tilray and (ii) if required by the Court or applicable Law, is consented to by the Aphria Shareholders voting in the manner directed by the Court. Any amendment, modification or supplement to the Plan of Arrangement may be made following the Effective Date but shall only be effective if it is consented to by each of Aphria and Tilray provided that such amendment, modification or supplement concerns a matter which, in the reasonable opinion of Aphria and Tilray, is of an administrative nature required to better give effect to the implementation of the Plan of Arrangement and is not adverse to the financial or economic interests of Aphria and Tilray or any former Aphria Securityholder.
Procedure for the Plan of Arrangement to Become Effective
The Arrangement will be implemented by way of a Court approved Plan of Arrangement under Section 182 of the OBCA pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement. The following procedural steps must be taken in order for the Arrangement to become effective:
the Arrangement must be approved by the Aphria Shareholders in the manner set forth in the Interim Order; and
the Court must grant the Final Order approving the Arrangement.
In addition, the Arrangement will only become effective if all other conditions precedent to the Arrangement set out in the Arrangement Agreement, including approvals under the Competition Act and the HSR Act, have been satisfied or waived by the appropriate party. For a description of the other conditions precedent see “The Arrangement Agreement and Related Agreements – Conditions to Completion of the Arrangement”.
Opinion of Aphria’s Financial Advisor
Pursuant to an engagement letter dated October 30, 2020, under which Aphria retained Jefferies to act as financial advisor to Aphria and the Aphria Board in connection with potential corporate transactions, Aphria requested that Jefferies render an opinion to the Aphria Board as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Exchange Ratio to the Aphria Shareholders. At a meeting of the Aphria Board held on December 15, 2020, Jefferies delivered its opinion, subsequently confirmed in writing, to the Aphria Board to the effect that, as at the date thereof, based upon the scope of review and subject to the assumptions, limitations, qualifications, procedures and other factors set out therein, the Exchange Ratio is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Aphria Shareholders.
67

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The full text of Jefferies’ fairness opinion, setting out the scope of review, assumptions made, matters considered and limitations and qualifications on the review undertaken in connection with the Jefferies opinion, is attached as Appendix “G” to this Circular. Jefferies’ fairness opinion was provided solely for the use and benefit of the Aphria Board (in its capacity as such) in its consideration of the Arrangement and did not address the relative merits of the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement as compared to any alternative transaction or opportunity that might be available to Aphria, nor does it address the underlying business decision by Aphria to engage in the Arrangement or the terms of the Arrangement Agreement or the documents referred to therein. Jefferies’ fairness opinion does not constitute a recommendation as to how any Aphria Shareholder should vote on the Arrangement or any matter related thereto. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of Jefferies’ fairness opinion.
In arriving at its opinion, Jefferies, among other things:
reviewed a draft dated December 15, 2020, of the Arrangement Agreement;
reviewed certain publicly available financial and other information about Aphria and Tilray;
reviewed certain information furnished to it by the management of Aphria, including financial forecasts and analyses, relating to the business, operations and prospects of Aphria and Tilray, and estimates as to the amount and timing of certain cost savings and related expenses anticipated by the management of Aphria to result from the Arrangement (“Synergies”);
held discussions with members of senior management of Aphria concerning the matters described above;
reviewed the share trading price history and valuation multiples for the Aphria Shares and the Tilray Shares;
considered the potential pro forma impact of the Arrangement; and
conducted such other financial studies, analyses and investigations as Jefferies deemed appropriate.
In its review and analysis and in rendering the Jefferies fairness opinion, Jefferies assumed and relied upon, but did not assume any responsibility to independently investigate or verify, the accuracy and completeness of all financial and other information, data, advice, opinions, representations and other material that was supplied or otherwise made available by Aphria or that was publicly available to Jefferies (including, without limitation, the information described above), or that was otherwise reviewed by Jefferies. Jefferies relied on assurances of the management of Aphria that it is not aware of any facts or circumstances that would make such information inaccurate or misleading. In its review, Jefferies did not obtain any independent evaluation or appraisal of any of the assets or liabilities of, nor did Jefferies conduct a physical inspection of any of the properties or facilities of, Aphria, nor was Jefferies furnished with any such evaluations or appraisals of such physical inspections, nor did Jefferies assume any responsibility to obtain any such evaluations or appraisals. Without limiting the foregoing, Jefferies did not prepare a formal valuation (as defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions) of Aphria or any of its securities or assets and its opinion should not be construed as such.
With respect to the financial forecasts provided to and examined by Jefferies, Jefferies noted that projecting future results of any company is inherently subject to uncertainty. Aphria informed Jefferies, however, and Jefferies assumed, that such financial forecasts were reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and good faith judgments of the management of Aphria as to the future financial performance of Aphria and Tilray. In addition, Aphria informed Jefferies, and Jefferies assumed, that the Synergies were reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best available estimates and good faith judgments of the management of Aphria as to the amount and timing of certain cost savings and related expenses anticipated to result from the Arrangement, and Jefferies relied upon the assessment of the management of Aphria as to the ability of the Combined Company to achieve the Synergies in the amounts and at the times projected. Jefferies expressed no opinion as to the financial forecasts or the Synergies provided to Jefferies by Aphria, or the assumptions on which they were made.
Jefferies’ fairness opinion was based on economic, monetary, regulatory, market and other conditions existing and which could be evaluated as of the date of Jefferies’ fairness opinion. Jefferies expressly disclaimed any undertaking or obligation to advise any person of any change in any fact or matter affecting its opinion of which Jefferies becomes aware after the date of its opinion, being December 15, 2020.
Jefferies are not legal, regulatory, accounting or tax experts and relied on the assessments made by Aphria and its professional advisors with respect to such matters. Jefferies made no independent investigation of any legal,
68

TABLE OF CONTENTS

regulatory, accounting or tax matters affecting Aphria, and assumed the correctness in all respects material to its analysis of all legal, regulatory, accounting and tax advice given to Aphria and the Aphria Board, including, without limitation, advice as to the legal, regulatory, accounting and tax consequences of the terms of, and transactions contemplated by, the Arrangement Agreement to Aphria and the Aphria Shareholders. In addition, in preparing its opinion, Jefferies did not take into account any tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement to any Aphria Shareholder. In preparing its opinion, Jefferies assumed that the executed Arrangement Agreement would not differ in any material respect from the draft that Jefferies reviewed, and that the Arrangement would be consummated in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Arrangement Agreement without waiver of, or amendment to, any term or condition that is in any way material to Jefferies’ analyses. Jefferies also assumed that in the course of obtaining the necessary regulatory or third party approvals, consents and releases necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement, no delay, limitation, restriction or condition will be imposed that would have an adverse effect on Aphria, Tilray, any Aphria Shareholder or the contemplated benefits of the Arrangement.
Jefferies’ fairness opinion is for the use and benefit of the Aphria Board in its consideration of the Arrangement, and Jefferies’ fairness opinion does not address the relative merits of the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement as compared to any alternative transaction or opportunity that might be available to Aphria, nor does it address the underlying business decision by Aphria to engage in the Arrangement or the terms of the Arrangement Agreement or the documents referred to therein. Jefferies’ fairness opinion does not constitute a recommendation as to how any Aphria Shareholder should vote on the Arrangement or any matter related thereto. In addition, Jefferies’ fairness opinion does not address, the fairness to, or any other consideration of, the holders of any class of securities, creditors or other constituencies of Aphria, other than the Aphria Shareholders. Jefferies expressed no opinion as to the price at which Aphria Shares or Tilray Shares would trade at any time. Furthermore, Jefferies did not express any view or opinion as to the fairness, financial or otherwise, of the amount or nature of any compensation payable to or to be received by any of Aphria’s officers, directors or employees, or any class of such persons, in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement relative to the consideration to be received by the Aphria Shareholders.
In connection with rendering its opinion to the Aphria Board, Jefferies performed a variety of financial and comparative analyses, which are summarized below. The following summary is not a complete description of all analyses performed and factors considered by Jefferies in connection with its opinion. The preparation of a financial opinion is a complex process involving subjective judgments and is not necessarily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. With respect to the analyses summarized below that reference selected public companies analyses, no company used as a comparison was identical or directly comparable to Aphria or Tilray. These analyses necessarily involved complex considerations and judgments concerning financial and operating characteristics and other factors that could affect the public trading, acquisition or other values of the companies or transactions concerned.
Jefferies believes that its analyses and the summary below must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses and factors, without considering all analyses and factors or the narrative description of the analyses, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the processes underlying Jefferies’ analyses and opinion. Jefferies did not draw, in isolation, conclusions from or with regard to any one factor or method of analysis for purposes of its opinion, but rather arrived at its ultimate opinion based on the results of all analyses undertaken by it and assessed as a whole.
The estimates of the future performance of Aphria and Tilray underlying Jefferies’ analyses are not necessarily indicative of future results or values, which may be significantly more or less favourable than those estimates. In performing its analyses, Jefferies considered industry performance, general business and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of Aphria and Tilray. Estimates of the financial value of companies do not purport to be appraisals or necessarily reflect the prices at which companies or securities may actually be sold or acquired. Accordingly, the estimates used in, and the range of the valuations resulting from, any particular analysis described below are inherently subject to substantial uncertainty and should not be taken as Jefferies’ view of the actual value of Aphria Shares or Tilray Shares.
The decision by Aphria to enter into the Arrangement Agreement was solely that of the Aphria Board. Jefferies’ fairness opinion was only one of many factors considered by the Aphria Board in its evaluation of the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement and should not be viewed as determinative of the views of the Aphria Board or Aphria management with respect to the Arrangement or the Exchange Ratio.
69

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The following is a brief summary of the material financial analyses provided to the Aphria Board and performed by Jefferies in connection with its opinion. The management projections for Aphria (“Aphria Management Projections”) and Tilray, as provided to and adjusted by Aphria management, and as approved by Aphria management for use by Jefferies (“Tilray Adjusted Management Projections”, and together with the Aphria Management Projections, the “Management Projections”) for the Aphria fiscal years ending May 31, 2021 through May 31, 2024, and for the Tilray fiscal years ending December 31, 2020 through December 31, 2023 (extrapolated to May 31, 2024 as per Aphria management), respectively, are described in the sections entitled “Description of the Arrangement – Aphria Unaudited Financial Projections”.
Financial Analyses
Jefferies relied principally upon discounted cash flow analyses in connection with its opinion, although it also performed additional financial analyses and included some observations in the subsequent section “Description of the Arrangement – Opinion of Aphria’s Financial Advisor – Additional Information”. Using the Management Projections, Jefferies performed discounted cash flow analyses of: (i) Aphria on a stand-alone basis; (ii) Aphria and Tilray on a pro forma combined basis using the exchange ratio of 0.8381x and including 100% of expected cost synergies; (iii) Tilray on a standalone-basis; and (iv) Tilray on a standalone-basis including 100% of expected cost synergies.
Discounted Cash Flow Analysis of Aphria Stand-Alone, and of Aphria Shareholders’ Share of the Combined Company at the Exchange Ratio
Using the Aphria Management Projections, Jefferies performed a discounted cash flow analysis on Aphria on a stand-alone basis. Using discount rates ranging from 10.0% to 12.0%, reflecting estimates of Aphria’s weighted average cost of capital, Jefferies discounted to present value, as of August 31, 2020; (i) estimates of the projected free cash flows of Aphria through fiscal year ending May 31, 2024, based on information contained in the Aphria Management Projections; (ii) a range of terminal year values for Aphria derived by applying exit multiples ranging from 10.5x to 14.5x to a terminal year estimate of Aphria’s Adjusted EBITDA, excluding the Aphria Diamond 49% non-controlling interest in fiscal year 2024; and (iii) estimates of the tax benefits from non-capital loss carry forward as provided by Aphria management. Unlevered free cash flow was calculated by tax effecting Aphria’s forecasted operating income figure at Aphria’s tax rate of 26.5% as provided by Aphria management, adding back depreciation and amortization, deducting capital expenditures, changes in net working capital, free cash flow attributable to the Aphria Diamond 49% non-controlling interest and contingent earn-out payments due to SweetWater, in the case of each of the foregoing, as included in the Aphria Management Projections, and was adjusted by Jefferies to further include the impact of share-based compensation as provided by Aphria management. Jefferies derived ranges of implied enterprise values for Aphria by adding the ranges of present values derived above. Jefferies then subtracted from the range of implied enterprise values amounts for Aphria’s indebtedness and added amounts for Aphria’s cash and the book value of its majority equity interest in Latam Holdings Inc. (excluded from the Aphria Management Projections), in each case as of August 31, 2020, pro forma for cash paid, and equity and debt issued to fund the subsequent acquisition of SweetWater (in each case as provided by Aphria management), and where applicable using a foreign exchange rate of 0.7822 US$/C$ as per Capital IQ as of December 14, 2020, to derive a range of implied equity values for Aphria. Jefferies then divided the range of implied equity values it derived by the number of fully diluted shares of Aphria as of December 14, 2020, as provided by the management of Aphria and using the treasury stock method to calculate dilution from options, warrants and convertible notes, to derive a range of implied equity values per share. This analysis indicated an implied equity value reference range per Aphria Share of approximately C$9.54 to C$13.38 on a stand-alone basis.
To derive the range of exit multiples, Jefferies selected the EBITDA exit multiple range of 10.5x to 14.5x in its professional judgment based on its review of publicly available financial and market information for both Aphria and Tilray, and the Selected Public Companies, including the Selected Alcohol and Tobacco Companies as set out below, which Jefferies in its professional judgment considered relevant for comparative purposes for the terminal years, given their operation in related, but more mature and profitable sectors.
Jefferies also performed a discounted cash flow analysis of Aphria Shareholders’ share of the Combined Company at the Exchange Ratio. This analysis followed the methodology outlined above for Aphria on a stand-alone basis, while also including the contribution of the Tilray Adjusted Management Projections and the Synergies, net of the costs to achieve the Synergies as per Aphria management. Other adjustments relative to the stand-alone methodology above included the selection of discount rates ranging from 9.8% to 11.8%, reflecting estimates of the Combined

Company’s weighted average cost of capital (incorporating a lower size premium within the cost of equity, as a result of greater scale), and a Combined Company estimated tax rate of 25.0% as per Aphria management. Jefferies derived ranges of implied enterprise values for the Combined Company adding the ranges of present values derived above. Jefferies then subtracted from the range of implied values for the Combined Company estimated indebtedness, added cash and other items (as outlined above, with the addition of Tilray’s indebtedness and cash as of September 30, 2020, pro forma for subsequent at-the-market equity issuance as provided by Tilray management), net of estimated transaction expenses, to derive a range of implied equity values for the Combined Company. Jefferies then divided the range of implied equity values by the estimated number of fully diluted shares of the Combined Company expected to be outstanding following the Arrangement, based on the Exchange Ratio of 0.8381x, the number of fully diluted shares of Aphria and Tilray as provided by the management of Aphria and Tilray as of December 14, 2020, and using the treasury stock method and implied equity value per share to calculate dilution from options, warrants and convertible notes, to derive a range of implied equity values per share for the Combined Company.
Jefferies excluded considerations of revenue synergies and increased strategic flexibility from these analyses.
Jefferies multiplied the range of implied equity values per share for the Combined Company by the 0.8381x Exchange Ratio to derive a range of implied equity values per Aphria Share. This analysis indicated an implied equity value reference range of approximately C$9.77 to C$13.70 per Aphria Share for the Aphria Shareholders’ share of the Combined Company. Jefferies observed that this range was higher than the reference range derived above on a stand-alone basis, of approximately C$9.54 to C$13.38 per Aphria Share.
Discounted Cash Flow Analyses of Tilray Stand-Alone and Tilray Including Synergies
Using the Tilray Adjusted Management Projections, Jefferies performed a discounted cash flow analysis on Tilray on a stand-alone basis. Using discount rates ranging from 10.0% to 12.0%, reflecting estimates of Tilray’s weighted average cost of capital, Jefferies discounted to present value, as of August 31, 2020; (i) estimates of the projected free cash flows of Tilray through Aphria’s fiscal year ending May 31, 2024, based on information contained in the Tilray Adjusted Management Projections; (ii) a range of terminal year values for Tilray derived by applying exit multiples ranging from 10.5x to 14.5x to a terminal year estimate of Tilray’s Adjusted EBITDA in Aphria’s fiscal year 2024; and (iii) estimates of the tax benefits from non-capital loss carry forward as provided by Tilray management and approved for use by Aphria management. Unlevered free cash flow was calculated by tax effecting Tilray’s forecasted operating income figure at Tilray’s tax rate of 25.0% as provided by Tilray management and approved for use by Aphria management, adding back depreciation and amortization, deducting capital expenditures and changes in net working capital, in the case of each of the foregoing, as included in the Tilray Adjusted Management Projections. Jefferies derived ranges of implied enterprise values for Tilray adding the ranges of present values derived above. Jefferies then subtracted from the range of implied enterprise values amounts for Tilray’s indebtedness and added amounts for Tilray’s cash, in each case as of September 30, 2020, pro forma for Tilray’s at-the-market financing (as provided by Tilray management), and where applicable converted to Canadian dollars using a foreign exchange rate of 0.7822 US$/C$ as per Capital IQ as of December 14, 2020, to derive a range of implied equity values for Tilray. Jefferies then divided the range of implied equity values it derived by the number of fully diluted shares of Tilray as of December 14, 2020, as provided by the management of Tilray and using the treasury stock method to calculate dilution from options, warrants and convertible notes, to derive a range of implied equity values per share. This analysis indicated an implied equity value reference range per Tilray Share of approximately US$5.29 to US$7.64 on a stand-alone basis.
To derive the range of exit multiples, Jefferies selected the EBITDA exit multiple range of 10.5x to 14.5x in its professional judgment based on its review of publicly available financial and market information for both Aphria and Tilray, and the Selected Public Companies, including the Selected Alcohol and Tobacco Companies as set out below, which Jefferies in its professional judgment considered relevant for comparative purposes for the terminal years, given their operation in related, but more mature and profitable sectors.
Jefferies also performed a discounted cash flow analysis on Tilray including Synergies. This analysis followed the methodology outlined above for Tilray on a stand-alone basis, while also including the contribution of the Synergies, net of the costs to achieve the Synergies as per Aphria management. Other adjustments relative to the stand-alone methodology above included selection of discount rates ranging from 9.8% to 11.8%, reflecting estimates of the Combined Company’s weighted average cost of capital (incorporating a lower size premium within the cost of equity, as a result of greater scale), and a Combined Company estimated tax rate of 25.0% as per Aphria management. Jefferies derived ranges of implied enterprise values for Tilray adding the ranges of present values derived above.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Jefferies then subtracted from the range of implied values amounts for Tilray’s indebtedness and added amounts for Tilray’s cash as of September 30, 2020, pro forma for Tilray’s at-the-market financing, (as provided by Tilray management), and where applicable converted to Canadian dollars using a foreign exchange rate of 0.7822 US$/C$ as per Capital IQ as of December 14, 2020, to derive a range of implied equity values for Tilray including Synergies. Jefferies then divided the range of implied equity values by the number of fully diluted shares of Tilray as of December 14, 2020, as provided by the management of Tilray and using the treasury stock method to calculate dilution from options, warrants, and convertible notes, to derive a range of implied equity values per share. This analysis indicated an implied equity value reference range per Tilray Share of approximately US$10.01 to US$12.26.
Jefferies excluded considerations of revenue synergies and increased strategic flexibility from these analyses.
Implied Exchange Ratios Analysis
Jefferies calculated a reference range of exchange ratios implied by the discounted cash flow analyses outlined above.
To derive a reference range of implied exchange ratios based on Aphria and Tilray on a stand-alone basis, excluding the Synergies, Jefferies divided the low end of the implied equity value reference range per Aphria Share (C$9.54) by the low end of the implied equity value reference range per Tilray Share (US$5.29), and by dividing the high ends of the same ranges (C$13.38 and US$7.64 respectively), indicated by the discounted cash flow analyses above, and using a foreign exchange rate of 0.7822 US$/C$ as per Capital IQ as of December 14, 2020. This analysis indicated an implied exchange ratio reference range of 1.4111x to 1.3706x, but does not reflect the benefit of the Synergies, which are fundamental to Jefferies’ analysis of the Arrangement.
To derive a reference range of implied exchange ratios based on Aphria and Tilray, including the benefit of the Synergies expected to be realized by the Combined Company, Jefferies divided the low end of the implied equity value reference range per Aphria Share (C$9.54) by the low end of the implied equity value reference range per Tilray Share including Synergies (US$10.01), and by dividing the high ends of the same ranges (C$13.38 and US$12.26, respectively), indicated by the discounted cash flow analyses above, and using a foreign exchange rate of 0.7822 US$/C$ as per Capital IQ as of December 14, 2020. This analysis indicated an implied exchange ratio reference range of 0.8536x to 0.7451x, as compared to the Exchange Ratio of 0.8381x.
Additional Information
Jefferies observed certain additional information that did not form part of Jefferies’ financial analysis with respect to its opinion, but which is being provided for informational purposes only, including:
“Has/Gets” Analysis
Jefferies reviewed and compared the market price of Aphria common stock as of December 14, 2020, (the “Has”), with the range of implied equity value per Aphria Share that would be received at the Exchange Ratio (the “Gets”), which is calculated as the aggregate of: (i) the fully diluted market capitalizations of Aphria and Tilray as of December 14, 2020, using either the 30-day volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) or the spot closing share prices for Aphria and Tilray Shares as of December 14, 2020, in two separate cases; (ii) the estimated present value of the incremental acceleration of the usage of Aphria’s and Tilray’s non-capital loss carry forward under the Combined Company; (iii) the estimated present value of the Synergies, net of the costs to achieve such Synergies; and (iv) net of estimated transaction expenses. Present values were calculated using a selection of discount rates ranging from 9.8% to 11.8%, reflecting estimates of the Combined Company’s weighted average cost of capital.
Jefferies notes that the “Has/Gets” analysis implied a range of value received per Aphria Share of C$10.87 - C$11.53 as compared to an Aphria Share price of C$10.07, when using spot closing prices as of December 14, 2020; and a range of value received per Aphria Share of C$10.65 - C$11.34 as compared to C$8.88 per Aphria Share, when using the 30-day VWAP share prices of Aphria and Tilray as of December 14, 2020.
Historical Exchange Ratio Analysis
Jefferies reviewed the market trading prices of Aphria and Tilray Shares during the three-month period ending on December 14, 2020, and calculated the implied daily historical exchange ratios during that period by dividing the closing share prices on Nasdaq of Aphria common stock and Tilray common stock for each date. Jefferies observed a range of implied exchange ratios of 1.0692x to 0.5485x over the three month period ending on December 14, 2020, as compared to the Exchange Ratio of 0.8381x.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Relative Contribution Analysis
Jefferies reviewed the respective contributions of Aphria, excluding non-controlling interests, and of Tilray, to the estimated net revenue, cannabis net revenue and gross profit of the Combined Company, based on the Aphria Management Projections and Tilray Adjusted Management Projections, as of the end of Aphria’s fiscal years 2021 and 2024, as well as the estimated Adjusted EBITDA of the Combined Company, based on the Aphria Management Projections and Tilray Adjusted Management Projections, as of the end of Aphria’s fiscal years 2022 and 2024. This analysis indicated a range of pro forma implied contribution of approximately 55.0% to 87.3% for Aphria to the Combined Company, compared to approximately 62.0% expected pro forma ownership for Aphria Shareholders at the Exchange Ratio. This analysis does not reflect the benefit of the Synergies, which are fundamental to Jefferies’ analysis of the Arrangement.
Selected Public Companies Analysis
Jefferies reviewed publicly available financial and market information for both companies and for the Selected Public Companies listed below, which Jefferies in its professional judgment considered generally relevant for comparative purposes.
Selected Canadian Licensed Cannabis Producers
Canopy Growth Corporation
Cronos Group Inc.
Aurora Cannabis Inc.
Hexo Corp.
OrganiGram Holdings Inc.
The Supreme Cannabis Company, Inc.
Selected U.S. Multi-State Cannabis Operators
Curaleaf Holdings, Inc.
Green Thumb Industries, Inc.
Cresco Labs, Inc.
Trulieve Cannabis Corp.
Selected Alcohol and Tobacco Companies
Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV
Philip Morris International Inc.
British American Tobacco p.l.c.
Altria Group, Inc.
Constellation Brands, Inc.
Molson Coors Beverage Company
Treasury Wine Estates Limited
Due to the volatility and wide disparity of trading multiples of the Selected Canadian Licensed Cannabis Producers and the Selected U.S. Multi-State Cannabis Operators, both operating in the emerging cannabis sector, Jefferies in its professional judgment considered that relevant conclusions could not be drawn for the relative values of Tilray, Aphria and the Combined Company for purposes of comparison to the Exchange Ratio. The Selected Alcohol and Tobacco Companies were considered relevant, in Jefferies’ professional judgment, for the terminal year multiple selection within the discounted cash flow analyses as described above, given their operation in related, but more mature and profitable sectors. Historical Transactions Analysis
73

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Jefferies reviewed historical transaction activity in the Canadian and U.S. cannabis sectors, and observed that in its professional judgment, no transactions of relevant, scope or profile have occurred in this emerging sector for purposes of comparison to the Exchange Ratio.
Miscellaneous
Jefferies was engaged by Aphria to act as financial advisor to Aphria in connection with potential corporate transactions, such as the Arrangement, and will receive an aggregate fee for its services of US$15.0 million, US$5.0 million of which was payable upon delivery of Jefferies’ fairness opinion and US$10.0 million of which is payable contingent upon consummation of the Arrangement. Jefferies will also be reimbursed for expenses incurred. Aphria has agreed to indemnify Jefferies against liabilities arising out of or in connection with the services rendered and to be rendered by Jefferies under such engagement. Jefferies has, in the past, provided financial advisory and financing services to Aphria and may continue to do so and has received, and may receive, fees for the rendering of such services. In particular, in the two years preceding the date of Jefferies’ fairness opinion, Jefferies has received US$17.9 million in fees for various advisory, underwriting and sales agent roles for Aphria. Jefferies maintains a market in the securities of Aphria and Tilray, and in the ordinary course of its business, Jefferies and its affiliates may trade or hold securities of Aphria or Tilray and/or their respective affiliates for its own account and for the accounts of its customers and, accordingly, may at any time hold long or short positions in those securities. In addition, Jefferies may seek to, in the future, provide financial advisory and financing services to Aphria, Tilray or entities that are affiliated with Aphria or Tilray, for which Jefferies would expect to receive compensation.
Jefferies was selected to act as Aphria’s financial advisor in connection with the Arrangement because Jefferies is an internationally recognized investment banking firm with substantial experience in merger and acquisition transactions and due to its familiarity with Aphria and its business.
Aphria Unaudited Financial Projections
Aphria does not as a matter of course make public projections as to future sales, earnings, or other results, and forecasts for extended periods of time are of particular concern to Aphria due to the unpredictability of the underlying assumptions and estimates, particularly during the current pandemic. In connection with the evaluation of the Transaction, however, in October 2020 Aphria management prepared certain unaudited prospective financial information for fiscal years ending May 31, 2021 through May 31, 2024 for its board of directors, Jefferies and Tilray, which are referred to collectively as the financial projections by Aphria. The financial projections by Aphria were prepared treating Aphria on a stand-alone basis, without giving effect to the business combination including the impact of negotiating or executing the Transaction, the expenses that may be incurred in connection with consummating the Transaction, the potential synergies that may be achieved by the Combined Company as a result of the business combination, the effect of any business or strategic decision or action that has been or will be taken as a result of the Arrangement Agreement having been executed, or the effect of any business or strategic decisions or actions which would likely have been taken if the Arrangement Agreement had not been executed but which were instead altered, accelerated, postponed or not taken in anticipation of the Transaction. In October 2020, Aphria management also prepared certain estimates of synergies expected to be realized following the closing, which are referred to as the Aphria estimated synergies. These estimated synergies are that within 24 months of the completion of the Transaction, the Combined Company expects to achieve approximately US$78 million (C$100 million) in annual pre-tax cost savings. The Combined Company expects to achieve cost synergies in the key areas of cultivation, production, purchasing, sales and marketing and corporate expenses (see “Description of the Arrangement – Our Reasons for the Arrangement”). The estimated synergies assume that the expected benefits of the Transaction will be realized, including that no restrictions, terms or other conditions would be imposed in connection with the receipt of any necessary governmental, regulatory or other approvals or consents in connection with the consummation of the Arrangement. The Aphria estimated synergies are not reflected in the financial projections by Aphria. In addition, in December 2020, Aphria management reviewed and adjusted the Tilray Financial Projections (“Tilray Adjusted Management Projections”) to reflect the extension of the Tilray Financial Projections by five months through May 2024 in order to align more closely with the financial projections by Aphria which extended to Aphria’s fiscal year end at May 31, 2024, and the conversion of Tilray projections from U.S. dollars into Canadian dollars using a foreign exchange rate of 0.7822 C$/US$ as per Capital IQ as of December 14, 2020. The Tilray Adjusted Management Projections can be found below under “Summary of the Tilray Financial Projections by Aphria”.
The financial projections by Aphria summarized in the table below, the Aphria estimated synergies, and the Tilray Adjusted Management Projections were not prepared with a view toward public disclosure or with a view toward

compliance with the published guidelines established by the SEC or the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants or Canadian securities regulators for preparation or presentation of prospective financial information or financial outlooks, or IFRS, but, in the view of Aphria management, were prepared on a reasonable basis, reflected the best available estimates and judgments at the time of preparation, and presented as of the time of preparation, to the best of management’s knowledge and belief, the expected course of action and the expected future financial performance of Aphria. However, this information is not fact and should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results, and readers of this Circular are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the financial projections by Aphria or the Aphria estimated synergies or the Tilray Adjusted Management Projections. Although Aphria management believes there is a reasonable basis for the financial projections by Aphria, the Aphria estimated synergies and the Tilray Adjusted Management Projections, Aphria cautions shareholders that future results could be materially different from the financial projections by Aphria, the Aphria estimated synergies and the Tilray Adjusted Management Projections. This summary of the financial projections by Aphria, the Aphria estimated synergies and the Tilray Adjusted Management Projections is not being included in this Circular to influence your decision whether to vote for the Aphria Resolution, but because these financial projections by Aphria, the Aphria estimated synergies and the Tilray Adjusted Management Projections were shared between Aphria and Tilray and provided to Aphria’s and Tilray’s respective financial advisors and boards of directors for purposes of considering and evaluating the Arrangement Agreement and the Arrangement.
The financial projections by Aphria, the Aphria estimated synergies and the Tilray Adjusted Management Projections were prepared by, and are the responsibility of, Aphria’s management. Aphria’ independent registered public accounting firm and Tilray’s independent registered public accounting firm have not audited, reviewed, examined, compiled nor applied agreed-upon procedures with respect to the financial projections by Aphria, the Aphria estimated synergies and the Tilray Adjusted Management Projections. Accordingly, Aphria’s independent registered public accounting firm and Tilray’s independent registered public accounting firm do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto, nor have they expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on such information or its achievability, and assume no responsibility for, and disclaim any association with, the financial projections.

The financial projections by Aphria, the Aphria estimated synergies and the Tilray Adjusted Management Projections are subject to estimates and assumptions in many respects and, as a result, subject to interpretation. While presented with numerical specificity, the financial projections by Aphria, the Aphria estimated synergies and the Tilray Adjusted Management Projections are based upon a variety of estimates and assumptions that are inherently uncertain including in respect of the potential or possible impact of COVID-19 on industry conditions or Aphria’s business, though considered reasonable by Aphria management as of the date of their preparation. These estimates and assumptions may prove to be inaccurate for many reasons, including general economic conditions, the unpredictable impacts of COVID-19, challenges related to the COVID-19 pandemic, competition, and the risks discussed in this Circular under the sections entitled “Information Concerning Forward-Looking Statements and “Risk Factors.” The financial projections by Aphria, the Aphria estimated synergies and the Tilray Adjusted Management Projections also reflect assumptions as to certain business decisions that are subject to change. Because the financial projections by Aphria were developed for Aphria on a stand-alone basis without giving effect to the Transaction, they do not reflect any synergies that may be realized as a result of the business combination or any changes to Aphria’s operations or

strategy that may be implemented after completion of the business Transaction. There can be no assurance that the financial projections by Aphria, the Aphria estimated synergies or the Tilray Adjusted Management Projections will be realized, and actual results may differ materially from those shown. Generally, the further out the period to which financial projections by Aphria, the Aphria estimated synergies and the Tilray Adjusted Management Projections relate, the less predictable and more unreliable the information becomes.
Summary of the Financial Projections by Aphria
The following table presents certain unaudited prospective financial information or financial outlook of Aphria prepared by Aphria management for fiscal years ended May 31, 2021 through May 31, 2024, for the Aphria Board, Jefferies, and Tilray, and was used in connection with rendering Jefferies’ fairness opinion to the Aphria Board.

As used above, Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss), plus (minus) income taxes (recovery), plus (minus) finance (income) expense, net, plus (minus) non-operating (income) loss, net, plus depreciation and amortization, plus share-based compensation, plus (minus) non-cash fair value adjustments on sale of inventory and on growth of biological assets, plus impairment, plus transaction costs, and certain one-time non-operating expenses, as determined by management. Adjusted EBITDA excluding NCI is defined as Adjusted EBITDA less Adjusted EBITDA attributable to non-controlling interest, which consists of the 49% interest not owned in Aphria Diamond. The financial projections by Aphria also exclude Aphria’s majority equity interest in Latam Holdings Inc.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA excluding NCI are non-IFRS financial measure that do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Aphria management regularly uses a variety of financial measures that are not in accordance with IFRS. Aphria believes, when considered together with IFRS financial measures, that these financial measures provide information that is useful to investors in understanding Aphria’s operating results from the perspective of management. Non- IFRS financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, and should be reviewed in conjunction with, financial information presented in accordance with IFRS. Non- IFRS financial measures used by Aphria may not be comparable to similarly titled financial measures used by Tilray or other companies. Aphria does not provide a reconciliation of the forward- looking non- IFRS financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA excluding NCI to the comparable IFRS financial measures because it is unable to reasonably predict certain items contained in the IFRS measures, including non- recurring and infrequent items that are not indicative of Aphria’s ongoing operations. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors and could have a material impact on Aphria’s IFRS results for the applicable period. Additional information regarding non- IFRS calculations used by Aphria may be found on Aphria’s SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com. Consequently, the financial metrics presented in Aphria’s and Tilray’s prospective financial information and in sections of this Circular with respect to the opinions of their respective financial advisors may not be directly comparable to one another.
Neither Aphria nor Tilray provided reconciliations of the non-IFRS measures included in these projections to the comparable IFRS measure due to no reasonably accessible or reliable comparable IFRS measures for these measures and the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying the measures that are necessary for such reconciliation.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

As used above, Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net income (loss) before inventory valuation adjustments; interest expenses, net; other expenses (income), net; deferred income tax (recoveries) expenses, current income tax expenses (benefit); foreign exchange gain (loss), net; depreciation and amortization expenses; loss from equity method investments; finance income from ABG; loss on disposal of property and equipment; amortization of inventory step-up; severance costs; impairment of assets; and change in fair value of warrant liability. Adjusted EBITDA is not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).
Neither Aphria nor Tilray provided reconciliations of the non-U.S. GAAP measures included in these projections to the comparable U.S. GAAP or IFRS measure due to no reasonably accessible or reliable comparable U.S. GAAP or IFRS measures for these measures and the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying the measures that are necessary for such reconciliation.
None of Aphria, Tilray, or their respective affiliates, advisors, officers, directors or other representatives can provide any assurance that actual results will not differ from the financial projections by Aphria, the Aphria estimated synergies or the Tilray Adjusted Management Projections, and none of them undertakes any obligation to update, or otherwise revise or reconcile, the financial projections by Aphria, the Aphria estimated synergies or the Tilray Adjusted Management Projections to reflect circumstances existing after the date the financial projections by Aphria, the Aphria estimated synergies or the Tilray Adjusted Management Projections were generated or to reflect the occurrence of future events even in the event that any or all of the assumptions underlying financial projections by Aphria, the Aphria estimated synergies or the Tilray Adjusted Management Projections, as applicable, are shown to be in error. Except as required by applicable securities laws, Aphria does not intend to make publicly available any update or other revision to the financial projections by Aphria, the Aphria estimated synergies or the Tilray Adjusted Management Projections, even in the event that any or all assumptions are shown to be in error. Aphria has made publicly available its actual results of operations for the year ended May 31, 2020, and for the quarterly period ended November 30, 2020. None of Aphria or its affiliates, advisors, officers, directors or other representatives has made or makes any representation to any Aphria Shareholder or Tilray Stockholder or other person regarding Aphria’s ultimate performance compared to the information contained in the financial projections by Aphria, the Aphria estimated synergies, the Tilray Adjusted Management Projections or that forecasted results will be achieved. Aphria has made no representation to Tilray, in the Arrangement Agreement or otherwise, concerning the financial projections by Aphria, the Aphria estimated synergies or the Tilray Adjusted Management Projections.
Opinion of Tilray’s Financial Advisors
Opinion of Cowen
Pursuant to an engagement letter dated as of December 10, 2020, Tilray retained Cowen to render an opinion to the Tilray Board as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to Tilray of the Exchange Ratio provided for under the terms of the Arrangement Agreement.
On December 15, 2020, Cowen delivered certain of its written analyses and its oral opinion to the Tilray Board, subsequently confirmed in writing, as of the same date, to the effect that and subject to the various assumptions, qualifications and limitations set forth therein, as of December 15, 2020, the Exchange Ratio of 0.8381 of a Tilray Share in exchange for each Aphria Share that is issued and outstanding, was fair, from a financial point of view, to Tilray. The full text of the written opinion of Cowen, dated December 15, 2020, is attached as Appendix “Hand is incorporated by reference. Tilray Stockholders are urged to read the opinion in its entirety for the assumptions made, procedures followed, other matters considered and limits of the review by Cowen. The summary of the written opinion of Cowen set forth herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such opinion. Cowen’s analyses and opinion were prepared for and addressed to the Tilray Board and are directed only to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Exchange Ratio in the Transaction, and do not constitute an opinion as to the merits of the Transaction or a recommendation to any stockholder or any other person as to how to vote with respect to the Transaction, or to take any other action in connection with the Transaction or otherwise. The Exchange Ratio in the Transaction was determined through negotiations between Aphria and Tilray and not pursuant to recommendations of Cowen.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In arriving at its opinion, Cowen reviewed and considered such financial and other matters as it deemed relevant, including, among other things:
a draft of the Arrangement Agreement dated December 14, 2020;
certain publicly available financial and other information for Tilray, and certain other relevant financial and operating data furnished to Cowen by management of Tilray;
certain publicly available financial and other information for Aphria and certain other relevant financial and operating data furnished to Cowen by management of Aphria;
certain internal financial analyses, financial forecasts, reports and other information concerning Tilray prepared by the management of Tilray (the “Tilray Forecasts”), certain internal financial analyses, financial forecasts, reports and other information concerning Aphria prepared by the management of Aphria (the “Aphria Forecasts”), adjusted Aphria Forecasts prepared by the management of Tilray (the “Adjusted Aphria Forecasts”), and the amounts and timing of the cost savings and related expenses to result from the Transaction furnished to Cowen by the management of Aphria and Tilray (the “Projected Synergies”);
consensus estimates and financial projections in Wall Street analyst reports (together, “Wall Street Projections”) for each of Aphria and Tilray;
discussions between Cowen and certain members of the managements of each of Aphria and Tilray concerning the historical and current business operations, financial conditions and prospects of Aphria and Tilray, the Projected Synergies and such other matters Cowen deemed relevant;
certain financial and stock market information for Aphria and Tilray as compared with similar information for certain publicly traded companies Cowen deemed relevant; and
such other information, financial studies, analyses and investigations and such other factors that Cowen deemed relevant for the purposes of its opinion.
In conducting its review and arriving at its opinion, Cowen, with Tilray’s consent, assumed and relied, without independent investigation, upon the accuracy and completeness of all financial and other information provided to it by Aphria and Tilray, respectively, or which was publicly available or was otherwise reviewed by Cowen. Cowen did not undertake any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or reasonableness of, or independent verification of, such information. Cowen relied upon, without independent verifications, the assessment of Tilray management as to the existing products and services of Tilray and the viability of, and risks associated with, the future products and services of Tilray. In addition, Cowen did not conduct, nor assume any obligation to conduct, any physical inspection of the properties or facilities of Aphria or Tilray. Cowen further relied upon Tilray’s representation and Aphria’s representation that all information provided to Cowen by Aphria and Tilray, respectively, was accurate and complete in all material respects. Cowen, with Tilray’s consent, assumed that the Tilray Forecasts, the Aphria Forecasts, the Adjusted Aphria Forecasts, and the description of Projected Synergies provided to Cowen were reasonably prepared by the respective managements of Aphria and Tilray, on bases reflecting the best then-available estimates and good faith judgments of such managements as to the future performance of Aphria and Tilray, and that such Tilray Forecasts, Aphria Forecasts, Adjusted Aphria Forecasts, Projected Synergies and the Wall Street Projections utilized in Cowen’s analysis provided a reasonable basis for its opinion. Cowen expressed no opinion as to the Tilray Forecasts, the Aphria Forecasts, the Adjusted Aphria Forecasts, the Wall Street Projections or the assumptions on which they were made. Cowen expressly disclaimed any undertaking or obligation to advise any person of any change in any fact or matter affecting its opinion of which Cowen becomes aware after the date of its opinion.
Cowen assumed that there were no material changes in the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business or prospectus of Aphria or Tilray since the date of the last financial statements made available to Cowen. Cowen did not make or obtain any independent evaluations, valuations or appraisals of the assets or liabilities of Aphria or Tilray, nor was Cowen furnished with these materials. In addition, Cowen did not evaluate the solvency or fair value of Aphria or Tilray under any state, provincial or federal laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or similar matters. Cowen’s opinion does not address any legal, regulatory, tax or accounting matters related to the Transaction, as to which Cowen assumed that Tilray and the Tilray Board had received such advice from legal, tax, accounting and regulatory advisors as each had determined appropriate. Cowen’s opinion addresses only the fairness of the Exchange Ratio, from a financial point of view to Tilray. Cowen expresses no view as to any other aspect or
78

TABLE OF CONTENTS

implication of the Transaction or any other agreement, arrangement or understanding entered into in connection with the Transaction or otherwise. Cowen’s opinion was necessarily based upon economic and market conditions and other circumstances as they existed and could be evaluated by Cowen on the date of its opinion. It should be understood that although subsequent developments may affect its opinion, Cowen does not have any obligation to update, revise or reaffirm its opinion and Cowen expressly disclaims any responsibility to do so.
Cowen did not consider any potential legislative or regulatory changes being considered or recently enacted by the United States, Canada or any other foreign government, or any domestic or foreign regulatory body, or any changes in accounting methods or generally accepted accounting principles that may be adopted by the SEC, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or any similar foreign regulatory body or board.
In rendering its opinion, Cowen assumed, in all respects material to its analysis, that the representations and warranties of each party contained in the Arrangement Agreement are true and correct, that each party will perform all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed by it under the Arrangement Agreement and that all conditions to the consummation of the Transaction will be satisfied without waiver thereof. Cowen assumed that the final form of the Arrangement Agreement would be substantially similar to the last draft received by Cowen prior to rendering its opinion. Cowen also assumed that all governmental, regulatory and other consents and approvals contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement would be obtained and that, in the course of obtaining any of those consents, no restrictions will be imposed or waivers made that would have an adverse effect on the contemplated benefits of the Transaction. Cowen assumed that the Transaction will be consummated in a manner that complies with the applicable provisions of the U.S. Securities Act, the U.S. Exchange Act, and all other applicable state, provincial or federal statues, rules and regulations of the United States, Canada or any other jurisdiction.
Cowen’s opinion was intended for the benefit and use of the Tilray Board in its consideration of the financial terms of the Transaction. Cowen’s opinion does not constitute a recommendation to the Tilray Board on whether or not to approve the Transaction, or a recommendation to any stockholder or any other person as to how to vote with respect to the Transaction, or to take any other action in connection with the Transaction or otherwise. Cowen did not express any opinion as to what the value, price or trading range of the Tilray Shares actually will be following the consummation of the Transaction. Cowen was not requested to opine as to, and Cowen’s opinion does not in any manner address, Tilray’s underlying business decision to effect the Transaction or the relative merits of the Transaction as compared to other business strategies or transactions that might be available to Tilray. In addition, Cowen was not requested to opine as to, and Cowen’s opinion does not in any manner address, the fairness of the Transaction or the Exchange Ratio: (i) to any of Tilray’s officers, directors or employees, or class of such persons, relative to the public stockholders of Tilray; or (ii) to the holders of any class of securities, creditors or other constituencies of Aphria and Tilray.
The following is a summary of the principal financial analyses performed by Cowen to arrive at its opinion. Some of the summaries of financial analyses include information presented in tabular format. In order to fully understand the financial analyses, the tables must be read together with the text of each summary. The tables alone do not constitute a complete description of the financial analyses. Considering the data set forth in the tables without considering the full narrative description of the financial analyses, including the methodologies and assumptions underlying the analyses, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the financial analyses. Cowen performed certain procedures, including each of the financial analyses described below, and reviewed with the management of Tilray the assumptions on which such analyses were based and other factors, including the historical financial results of Aphria and Tilray, the Tilray Forecasts, the Aphria Forecasts and the Adjusted Aphria Forecasts. Certain of the assumptions on which such analyses were based, and certain other factors, were also reviewed with the management of Aphria.
Analysis of Selected Publicly-Traded Companies
Cowen performed a selected publicly-traded companies analysis, which provides an implied equity value for a company by comparing it to similar publicly-traded companies. Cowen reviewed and compared selected historical and projected operating and financial data and ratios for Aphria and Tilray to the corresponding financial data and ratios of certain other companies (the “Selected Companies”) whose securities are publicly traded and which Cowen believes, in its professional judgment and experience, to be relevant for comparison purposes. The data and ratios included certain financial and operating metrics that Cowen deemed relevant, and the implied multiples of enterprise value (“EV”) of the Selected Companies to estimated 2020 and estimated 2021 net revenues (in each case, as available from research analyst reports) for the Selected Companies.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Selected Companies included the following Canadian licensed cannabis producers (the “Selected Cannabis Companies”):
Aurora Cannabis
Canopy Growth
Cronos Group
HEXO Corp
Organigram
Sundial Growers
Village Farms
Cowen also reviewed the following alcoholic beverage companies (the “Selected Alcohol Companies”), which it deemed relevant as a supplemental set of peer groups operating in an industry with similar economic and regulatory characteristics to the cannabis industry:
Anheuser- Busch InBev
The Boston Beer Company
Brown-Forman
Constellation Brands

Cowen applied a reference range of multiples of 5.5x to 8.0x, selected by Cowen in its professional judgment based on its review of the Selected Cannabis Companies, to the Tilray projected 2020 total net revenue, which indicated an implied equity value per share reference range for Tilray of approximately US$5.80 to US$8.60 per share. Cowen also applied a reference range of multiples of 3.0x to 5.0x, selected by Cowen in its professional judgment based on its review of the Selected Cannabis Companies, to the Tilray projected 2021 total net revenue, which indicated an implied equity value per share reference range for Tilray of US$4.80 to US$8.30 per share.
Cowen applied a reference range of multiples of 5.5x to 8.0x, selected by Cowen in its professional judgment based on its review of the Selected Cannabis Companies, to the Aphria projected calendar year 2020 total net revenue (US$497 million) based on the Aphria Forecasts, which indicated an implied equity value per share reference range for Aphria of approximately US$7.70 to US$11.30 per share. Cowen also applied a reference range of multiples of 3.0x to 5.0x, selected by Cowen in its professional judgment based on its review of the Selected Cannabis Companies, to the Aphria projected calendar year 2021 total net revenue (US$880 million) based on the Aphria Forecasts, which indicated an implied equity value per share reference range for Aphria of US$7.40 to US$12.50 per share.
Although the Selected Companies were used for comparison purposes, none of those companies is directly comparable to Aphria or Tilray. Accordingly, an analysis of the results of such a comparison is not purely
80

TABLE OF CONTENTS

mathematical, but instead involves complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in historical and projected financial and operating characteristics of the Selected Companies and other factors that could affect the public trading value of the Selected Companies or Aphria or Tilray to which they are being compared.
Tilray Discounted Cash Flow Analysis
Cowen performed this analysis of a range of values for Tilray Shares based upon the discounted present value of the projected unlevered free cash flows of Tilray described in the Tilray Forecasts for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 through December 31, 2023, and of the terminal value of Tilray at December 31, 2023, based upon multiples of 2023 projected adjusted EBITDA. Unlevered free cash flow was calculated by taking projected EBIT and subtracting from this amount projected income taxes (which are nil over the period as a result of net operating losses), adding back depreciation and amortization, and subtracting capital expenditures, changes in net working capital and extraordinary items. This analysis was based upon certain assumptions described by, projections supplied by and discussions held with the management of Tilray. In performing this analysis, Cowen utilized discount rates ranging from 10.0% to 12.0%, which were selected based on an estimate of Tilray’s weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”). Cowen utilized Adjusted EBITDA multiples ranging from 15.0x to 20.0x, which were selected by Cowen in its professional judgment based on its review of multiples of EBITDA for the Selected Companies, including the Selected Alcohol Companies. Utilizing this methodology, the per share equity value of Tilray ranged from US$6.60 to US$9.40 per share on a standalone basis, without taking into account any Projected Synergies, and ranged from US$11.60 to US$16.10 per share after attributing 100% of the Projected Synergies to Tilray.
Aphria Discounted Cash Flow Analysis Based on Aphria Management Projections
Cowen performed this analysis of a range of values for Aphria common shares based upon the discounted present value of the projected unlevered free cash flows of Aphria described in the Aphria Forecasts for the fiscal years ended May 31, 2021 through May 31, 2024, and of the terminal value of Aphria at May 31, 2024, based upon multiples of 2023 projected adjusted EBITDA. Unlevered free cash flow was calculated by taking projected EBIT and subtracting from this amount projected income taxes, adding back depreciation and amortization, and subtracting capital expenditures, changes in net working capital and projected free cash flows owed by Aphria to the holders of 49% ownership of Aphria Diamond, Aphria’s 51% majority-owned subsidiary. This analysis was based upon certain assumptions described by, projections supplied by and discussions held with the management of Aphria. In performing this analysis, Cowen utilized discount rates ranging from 8.5% to 10.5%, which were selected based on an estimate of Aphria’s WACC. Cowen utilized Adjusted EBITDA multiples ranging from 15.0x to 20.0x, which were selected by Cowen in its professional judgment based on its review of multiples of EBITDA for the Selected Companies, including the Selected Alcohol Companies. Utilizing this methodology, the per share equity value of Aphria ranged from US$11.00 to US$15.00 per share.
Aphria Discounted Cash Flow Analysis Based on Aphria Management Projections as Adjusted by Tilray Management
Cowen performed this analysis of a range of values for Aphria common shares based upon the discounted present value of the projected unlevered cash flows of Aphria described in the Adjusted Aphria Forecasts for the portion of the fiscal year from January 1, 2021 through May 31, 2021, the fiscal years ended May 31, 2022 through May 31, 2024, and of the terminal value of Aphria at May 31, 2024, based upon multiples of fiscal year 2024 projected adjusted EBITDA. Unlevered cash flow was calculated by taking projected EBIT and subtracting from this amount projected income taxes, adding back depreciation and amortization, and subtracting capital expenditures, changes in net working capital and projected free cash flows owed by Aphria to the holders of 49% ownership of Aphria Diamond. This analysis was based upon certain assumptions described by, projections supplied by and discussions held with the management of Aphria and Tilray. In performing this analysis, Cowen utilized discount rates ranging from 8.5% to 10.5%, which were selected based on an estimate of Aphria’s WACC. Cowen utilized Adjusted EBITDA multiples ranging from 15.0x to 20.0x, which were selected by Cowen in its professional judgment based on its review of multiples of EBITDA for the Selected Companies, including the Selected Alcohol Companies. Utilizing this methodology, the per share equity value of Aphria ranged from US$7.20 to US$10.00 per share.

Aphria/Tilray Implied Exchange Ratio Analysis
Cowen analyzed the implied exchange ratio of Aphria Shares per Tilray Share, the implied Tilray pro forma ownership and the ranges of equity values per share for Aphria and Tilray based on the respective selected public company analyses and discounted cash flow analyses. In the table below, the implied exchange ratio of Aphria shares per Tilray Share was calculated on the basis of the Aphria low price divided by the Tilray high price, and the Aphria high price divided by the Tilray low price. Per share values were rounded to the nearest $0.10. Cowen then compared the implied exchange ratio to the Exchange Ratio.

“Gives/Gets” Value Creation Analysis
Cowen reviewed and compared the then-expected aggregate equity value of Tilray attributable to holders of Tilray Shares prior to the completion of the Transaction with the then-expected implied value that holders of Tilray Shares would be receiving in the Transaction, as measured by a “gives/gets” analysis framework which compared the approximately 62% of Tilray’s equity value that was then expected would be assumed by Aphria Shareholders as a result of the Exchange Ratio (the “ Gives ”) to the approximate 38% of Aphria’s equity value then expected to result from the Exchange Ratio, and the relative 38% of the discounted cash flow-derived equity value attributable to Projected Synergies (together the “ Gets ”). For each of these metrics, Cowen compared the implied value then expected to be received by Tilray Stockholders (the Gets) to the implied value then expected to be received by Aphria Shareholders (the Gives) to assess the then-expected value created in the Transaction to Tilray. Cowen noted that the “Gives/Gets” analysis implied a range of equity value creation of: (i) using the current market value based on the December 14, 2020 closing prices, 57%; (ii) using the discounted cash flow-based equity values of the Tilray Forecasts and the Aphria Forecasts, 121% to 125%; (iii) using the discounted cash flow-based equity values of the Tilray Forecasts and the Adjusted Aphria Forecasts, 60% to 66%, and (iv) using the Selected Companies analysis, 77% to 87%.
Other Factors
Cowen also reviewed and considered other factors that were not considered part of its financial analyses in connection with rendering its advice, but were referenced for informational purposes, including, among other things, current trading metrics, historical trading price ranges and equity research analysts’ price targets, described below.
Current Trading Metrics
Cowen considered certain market metrics relating to Aphria and Tilray, including their respective share trading prices as of December 14, 2020, the number of shares outstanding, total debt, non-controlling interest, and cash and cash equivalents, determining that the market capitalization of Aphria and Tilray was US$1,219 million and US$2,537 million, respectively, and that their enterprise values were US$1,388 million and US$2,816 million, respectively. Cowen considered that the then-current trading prices would result in an exchange ratio of 1.0692x Tilray Share per Aphria Share and implied ownership of 32.5% for Tilray and 67.5% for Aphria, the preceding 10-day volume-weighted average price (VWAP) would result in an exchange ratio of 0.9787x and implied ownership of 34.7% for Tilray and 65.3% for Aphria, and the preceding 20-day VWAP would result in an exchange ratio of 0.9396x and implied ownership of 35.6% for Tilray and 64.4% for Aphria.
Cowen also calculated the premium that the Exchange Ratio of 0.8381 per Tilray Share would result in for Tilray, using the treasury stock method, based on 269.8 million Tilray Shares being issued in the Transaction. Cowen concluded that the premium to Tilray based on then-current trading prices would be 27.6%, based on the preceding 10-day VWAP of US$8.34 per share for Tilray and US$8.16 per share for Aphria would be 16.8%, and based on the preceding 20-day VWAP of US$8.81 per share for Tilray and US$7.53 for Aphria would be 12.1%.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

All trading prices and VWAP calculations for Aphria and Tilray were based on Nasdaq trading prices, without taking into account Aphria’s trading prices on the TSX for purposes of this analysis. All figures were converted from Canadian dollars to U.S. dollars at the December 14, 2020 spot exchange rate of C$1.279 / US$1.00.
Historical Trading Price Ranges
Cowen considered the relative historical year-to-date stock performance of Tilray’s shares and Aphria’s shares based on Nasdaq trading prices. Cowen observed that the US$7.88 price for Aphria as of December 14, 2020 represented a 57.6% year-to-date increase, and that the US$7.37 price for Tilray as of December 14, 2020 represented a 55.1% year-to-date decrease. Cowen also reviewed the historical year-to-date spot at-market exchange ratio for Tilray Shares relative to Aphria Shares, relative to the Exchange Ratio for the Transaction and the spot exchange ratio as of December 14, 2020. Cowen noted that the spot exchange ratio over the prior year had ranged from 0.3975x to 0.8623x.
Wall Street Analyst Share Price Targets
Cowen reviewed publicly available Wall Street equity research analyst share price targets for Tilray Shares published by ten research analysts, which ranged from a low of US$4.77 to a high of US$15.00, with a mean of US$9.08 and a median of US$9.00. Cowen also reviewed publicly available Wall Street equity research analyst share price targets for the Aphria common shares published by 12 research analysts, which ranged from a low of US$5.36 to a high of US$9.93, with a mean of US$7.39 and a median of US$6.89. Cowen discounted these price targets by one year at Aphria and Tilray’s illustrative cost of equity of 11.6% and 9.9%, respectively, and noted that these discounted equity research price targets implied an exchange ratio range of 0.3631x to 2.1155x.
The summary set forth above does not purport to be a complete description of all the analyses performed by Cowen. The preparation of a fairness opinion involves various determinations as to the most appropriate and relevant methods of financial analysis and the application of these methods to the particular circumstances and, therefore, such an opinion is not readily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. Cowen did not attribute any particular weight to any analysis or factor considered by it, but rather made qualitative judgments as to the significance and relevance of each analysis and factor. Accordingly, notwithstanding the separate factors summarized above, Cowen believes, and has advised the Tilray Board, that its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses and the factors considered by it, without considering all analyses and factors, could create an incomplete view of the process underlying its opinion. In performing its analyses, Cowen made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, business and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of Aphria and Tilray. These analyses performed by Cowen are not necessarily indicative of actual values or future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by such analyses. In addition, analyses relating to the value of businesses do not purport to be appraisals or to reflect the prices at which businesses or securities may actually be sold. Accordingly, such analyses and estimates are inherently subject to uncertainty, being based upon numerous factors or events beyond the control of the parties or their respective advisors. None of Aphria, Tilray, Cowen or any other person assumes responsibility if future results are materially different from those projected. The analyses supplied by Cowen and its opinion were among several factors taken into consideration by the Tilray Board in making its decision to enter into the Arrangement Agreement and should not be considered as determinative of such decision.
Cowen was selected by the Tilray Board to render an opinion to the Tilray Board because Cowen is a nationally recognized investment banking firm and because, as part of its investment banking business, Cowen is continually engaged in the valuation of businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, negotiated underwritings, secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements and valuations for corporate and other purposes. Cowen is providing financial services for Tilray for which it will receive customary fees. In addition, in the ordinary course of its business, Cowen and its affiliates trade the equity securities of Aphria and Tilray for their own account and for the accounts of their customers, and, accordingly, may at any time hold a long or short position in such securities. Cowen and its affiliates in the ordinary course of business have from time to time provided, to Tilray, and in the future may provide to Tilray and Aphria, commercial and investment banking services, including serving as a financial advisor on potential acquisitions and as an underwriter, initial purchaser or sales agent on securities offerings. Cowen has not received any fees for the rendering of such services to Aphria. Cowen has received, and may in the future receive, fees for the rendering of such services to Tilray. In particular, in the two years preceding the date of Cowen's opinion, Cowen has received approximately $1.0 million in fees for advisory engagements, and is currently engaged as exclusive sales agent for Tilray’s at-the-market offering program, under which Cowen is entitled to a fee of 2.0% of the gross proceeds raised by Tilray and has received fees of approximately $4.8 million to date

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Pursuant to the engagement letter between Cowen and Tilray, if the Transaction is consummated, Cowen will be entitled to receive a transaction fee estimated to be approximately US$10.0 million. Tilray also agreed to pay, and has paid, a fee of US$1.0 million to Cowen for rendering its opinion, which fee shall be credited against any transaction fee paid. Additionally, Tilray has agreed to reimburse Cowen for its out-of-pocket expenses, including attorneys’ fees, and has agreed to indemnify Cowen, each controlling person and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and affiliates, against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the federal securities laws. The terms of the fee arrangement with Cowen, which are customary in transactions of this nature, were negotiated at arm’s length between Tilray and Cowen, and the Tilray Board was aware of the arrangement, including the fact that a significant portion of the fee payable to Cowen is contingent upon the completion of the Transaction.
Opinion of Imperial
Pursuant to an engagement letter dated May 27, 2020, the Tilray Transaction Committee retained Imperial to render an opinion to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to Tilray of the Exchange Ratio provided for under the terms of the Arrangement Agreement.
On December 15, 2020, Imperial delivered certain of its written analyses and its oral opinion to the Tilray Board, subsequently confirmed in writing as of the same date, to the effect that and subject to the various assumptions, qualifications and limitations set forth therein, as of December 15, 2020, the Exchange Ratio of 0.8381 of a Tilray Share in exchange for each Aphria Share that is issued and outstanding, was fair, from a financial point of view, to Tilray. The full text of the written opinion of Imperial, dated December 15, 2020, is attached as Appendix “I” and is incorporated by reference. Tilray Stockholders are urged to read the opinion in its entirety for the assumptions made, procedures followed, other matters considered and limits of the review by Imperial. The summary of the written opinion of Imperial set forth herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such opinion. Imperial’s analyses and opinion were prepared for and addressed to the Tilray Board and are directed only to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Exchange Ratio in the Transaction, and do not constitute an opinion as to the merits of the Transaction or a recommendation to any stockholder or any other person as to how to vote with respect to the Transaction, or to take any other action in connection with the Transaction or otherwise. The Exchange Ratio in the Transaction was determined through negotiations between Aphria and Tilray and not pursuant to recommendations of Imperial.
In connection with rendering its opinion, Imperial has, among other things:
analyzed certain historical business and financial information relating to Aphria and Tilray that Imperial deemed to be relevant to its analysis;
reviewed certain internal financial forecasts and budgets for Aphria and Tilray prepared and provided by each company’s respective management;
held discussions with certain members of Tilray’s management to discuss the operations and future prospects of Tilray;
reviewed public information with respect to certain other public companies with business lines and financial profiles that Imperial deemed to be relevant;
reviewed the financial and other relevant terms, to the extent publicly available, of certain acquisition transactions that Imperial deemed to be relevant;
reviewed certain publicly available research reports;
reviewed the Arrangement Agreement and the ancillary documents thereto (the “Draft Transaction Documents”);
reviewed various presentations and materials prepared by Tilray’s financial advisor Cowen;
considered the results of their review, analysis and evaluation of strategic alternatives available to Tilray; and
conducted such other financial studies, analyses and investigations and took into account such other matters that Imperial deemed necessary, including an assessment of general economic and monetary conditions.
In giving its opinion, Imperial relied upon the accuracy and completeness of the foregoing financial and other information and did not assume responsibility for independent verification of such information or conduct or receive

any current independent valuation or appraisal of any assets of Tilray or any appraisal or estimate of liabilities of Tilray. With respect to the financial forecasts, Imperial assumed, with the Tilray Board’s consent, that they have been reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of management of Tilray as to the future financial performance of Tilray. Imperial did not make any independent valuation or appraisal of the assets or liabilities of Tilray. Imperial also relied upon the assurances of Tilray that it is unaware of any facts that would make the information or financial forecasts provided to Imperial untrue or misleading. Imperial has assumed no responsibility for, and has expressed no view as to, such financial forecasts or the assumptions on which they are based.
Imperial’s opinion is necessarily based upon financial, monetary, economic, market and other conditions as they existed, and the information made available to Imperial as of, the time of their opinion and can be evaluated as of the date of their opinion and does not address the fairness of the exchange ratio as of any other date, and Imperial assumed no responsibility for updating, revising or reaffirming their opinion based on circumstances, developments or events arising or occurring after the date of their opinion. These conditions have been and remain subject to volatility and uncertainty, and Imperial expressed no view as to the impact of such volatility and uncertainty after the date of their opinion on Tilray or the contemplated benefits of the Arrangement. In rendering their opinion, Imperial assumed, with the Tilray’s Board’s consent that (i) the final executed form of the Draft Transaction Documents would not differ in any material respect from the drafts that Imperial examined, (ii) the parties to the Draft Transaction Documents would comply with all the material terms of the Draft Transaction Documents, and (iii) the contemplated Transaction would be consummated in accordance with the terms of the Draft Transaction Documents without any adverse waiver or amendment of any material term or condition thereof. Imperial also assumed that all governmental, regulatory or other consents and approvals necessary for the consummation of the contemplated Transaction would be obtained without any material adverse effect on Tilray or the contemplated Arrangement.
Imperial’s opinion was prepared at the request, and for the use and benefit, of the board of directors of Tilray in connection with its consideration of the Arrangement, and may not be used for any other purpose or disclosed without the prior written consent of Imperial. Imperial’s opinion does not constitute a recommendation as to how stockholders of Tilray should vote or act in connection with the contemplated Arrangement or any aspect thereof. Imperial’s opinion does not address the merits of the underlying decision by Tilray to engage in the contemplated Arrangement or the relative merits of any strategic or financial alternatives that may be available to Tilray. Imperial was not requested to, and did not, solicit third party indications of interest in acquiring all or any part of Tilray, nor did it negotiate with any of the parties to the contemplated Arrangement. Except as set forth in the engagement letter between Imperial and Tilray dated May 27, 2020, Imperial’s opinion may not be reproduced, disseminated, quoted or referred to at any time without Imperial’s prior written consent.
Imperial received a fee ($300,000) prior to the delivery of its opinion, in addition to other fees ($298,637.50) received for advisory services provided to the Tilray Transaction Committee in connection with the Tilray Transaction Committee’s previous review of Tilray’s potential strategic alternatives. None of Imperial’s fees are or were contingent upon the conclusions reached in its opinion or the successful completion of the Transaction. In addition, Tilray has agreed to reimburse Imperial for certain reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with its engagement and to indemnify Imperial for specified liabilities arising out of its engagement and the delivery of its fairness opinion.
Imperial and its affiliates are engaged in investment banking and financial advisory services, securities trading, investment management, principal investment, financing, brokerage activities and other financial and non-financial activities and services for various persons and entities. In the ordinary course of its business, Imperial (and its affiliates) may actively trade the debt and equity securities of Tilray for its own account and for the accounts of customers and, accordingly, may at any time hold a long or short position in such securities. In September 2019, Imperial provided a fairness opinion to the Special Committee of the Board of Directors of Tilray in connection with a transaction with Privateer Holdings, Inc. (Imperial received fees of $881,768 in connection with these services). Other than the foregoing, there are no material relationships that existed during the two years before the date of its opinion or that are mutually understood to be compensated in which any compensation was received or is intended to be received as a result of the relationship between Imperial and any party to the Arrangement.
The issuance of the opinion was approved by an authorized committee of Imperial.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Material Financial Analyses
Imperial employed commonly used valuation methods and financial analyses in reaching its opinion. The following is a brief summary of the material financial analyses performed by Imperial in arriving at its opinion. No company or transaction used in the analyses described below is identical or directly comparable to Aphria, Tilray or the Arrangement. These summaries of financial analyses alone do not constitute a complete description of all of the financial analyses Imperial employed in reaching its conclusions. Unless stated otherwise, none of the analyses performed and employed by Imperial were assigned a greater significance by Imperial than any other, nor does the order of analyses described represent relative importance or weight given to those analyses by Imperial. The financial analyses summarized below include information presented in tabular format. In order to understand fully the financial analyses used by Imperial, the tables must be read together with the text of each summary. The tables alone do not constitute a complete description of Imperial’s financial analyses. Considering the data below without considering the full narrative description of the financial analyses, including the methodologies and assumptions underlying the analyses, could create a misleading or incomplete view of Imperial’s analysis. The summary text set forth below does not represent and should not be viewed by anyone as constituting, either in part or in their entirety, the conclusions reached by Imperial with respect to any of the analyses performed by it in connection with its opinion. Rather, Imperial made its determination as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Exchange Ratio to the Tilray Stockholders on the basis of its experience and professional judgment after considering the results of all of the analyses performed.
Comparable Companies Analysis
Imperial analyzed the relative valuation of eight (including Aphria and Tilray) publicly traded Canadian licensed producers of legal cannabis that it deemed relevant based on their business profiles and financial metrics. The selected companies traded primarily on the Nasdaq and/or Toronto exchanges.
To select the group of companies for this analysis, Imperial identified publicly traded Canadian licensed producers of legal cannabis listed on the Nasdaq and/or Toronto exchanges. Imperial then calculated the enterprise value for each of the selected companies. No company used in this analysis is identical to Aphria or Tilray. Accordingly, this analysis is not purely mathematical, but also involves complex considerations and judgments concerning the differences in financial and operating characteristics of the selected companies and other factors.
For additional, secondary reference, Imperial also analyzed the relative valuation of five publicly traded beer and spirits companies that it deemed relevant based on their business profiles and financial metrics. The selected companies traded primarily on the NYSE or Euronext exchanges.
The selected Canadian cannabis licensed producers are as follows:
Aphria Inc. (used only in Tilray stand-alone analysis)
Aurora Cannabis Inc.
Canopy Growth Corporation
Cronos Group Inc.
HEXO Corp.
OrganiGram Holdings Inc.
Tilray, Inc. (used only in Aphria stand-alone analysis)
Village Farms International, Inc.

Using its professional judgment, Imperial then established a reference range of total enterprise values for each of Aphria and Tilray by applying selected multiples (based upon factors including the business profiles, past and projected financial results, current and past securities prices, and analysts’ views of each company relative to the comparable companies) to the corresponding financial metrics (revenue and, where applicable, EBITDA) of Aphria and Tilray, and then subtracted the net debt of each to derive the reference low and high equity values seen below (US$ in millions).

None of the precedent transactions is identical to the Arrangement, and in evaluating the precedent transactions, Imperial made judgments and assumptions with regard to industry performance, general business, economic, market and financial conditions and other matters, such as the impact of competition, industry growth and the absence of any adverse material change in the financial condition of Aphria, Tilray, or the companies involved in the precedent transactions or the industry or in the financial markets in general, which could affect the public trading value of the companies involved in the selected transactions which, in turn, could affect the enterprise values and equity values of the companies involved in the transactions to which the Arrangement is being compared. Based upon a consideration of these factors (specifically the size of the transactions, the fact that the largest transaction involved a U.S. multi-state operator and not a Canadian licensed producer, and the dates of the transactions relative to a market that has evolved rapidly in the past 12 to 24 months), and in its professional judgment, Imperial determined that none of the reported transactions provided an appropriate basis for a valuation of Aphria or Tilray as of the time of the
88

TABLE OF CONTENTS

contemplated Arrangement, and accordingly Imperial did not employ and did not assign any weight to the precedent transaction methodology in its valuation of Aphria or Tilray.
Discounted Cash Flow Analysis
Imperial used the financial projections provided by each of Aphria’s and Tilray’s management to perform a discounted cash flow (“ DCF ”) analysis of each company on a stand-alone basis. For each company, Imperial estimated terminal value using both the TEV/EBITDA multiple method and the Perpetuity Growth Method. For the TEV/EBITDA method, based upon its professional judgment and knowledge of the companies’ industry, Imperial applied a range of TEV/EBITDA multiples (20x to 22x for Tilray and 18x to 20x for Aphria) to the final fiscal year EBITDA in the company’s projections. For the Perpetuity Growth method, based upon its professional judgment and knowledge of the companies’ industry, Imperial applied a range of perpetuity growth rates (8.5% to 9.5%) to the free cash flow in the final fiscal year of the company’s projections. Imperial then discounted the operating cash flows and terminal values to present values using a discount rate of 12.5% (based upon calculations of the weighted average cost of capital for Aphria and Tilray). This analysis resulted in the following equity value ranges (after subtracting the net debt of each) for Aphria and Tilray (US$ in millions):
Company
Equity Value –

Aphria – TEV/EBITDA Method

US$1,138
US$6.88
US$1,573
US$9.51
Indicative Valuation
Weighting the methodologies 25% DCF (TEV/EBITDA method), 25% DCF (Perpetuity Growth Method), and 50% Comparable Companies Method (to give equal weighting to the Comparable Companies Method and the DCF method, i.e., 50% each), Imperial calculated indicative total equity values for Aphria and Tilray as follows (US$ in millions; note that alternatively weighting the methods 33.3% each would not have a material impact on indicative valuations):

Implied Exchange Ratio Analysis
Imperial then reviewed the ranges of Aphria’s and Tilray’s implied equity value (based on the select companies and discounted cash flow analyses described above), and calculated a range of implied Tilray pro forma equity ownership percentages of the Combined Company. To calculate the low implied Tilray pro forma equity ownership, Imperial divided the low Tilray implied equity value by the sum of the low Tilray implied equity value and the high Aphria implied equity value. To calculate the high implied Tilray pro forma equity ownership, Imperial divided the high Tilray implied equity value by the sum of the high Tilray implied equity value and the low Aphria implied equity value.

Indicative Value
Imperial compared these results to the negotiated Exchange Ratio of 0.8381, which would result in Tilray Stockholders owning approximately 38% of the Combined Company immediately following consummation of the Arrangement on a fully diluted basis (calculated as at the date of the announcement of the Transaction).
Supplemental Analyses
In addition to the standard valuation analyses described above, Imperial conducted and considered a number of supplemental analyses, including:
Relative Contribution Analysis
Imperial reviewed the relative contribution of Aphria and Tilray, on a combined pro forma basis, of a number of metrics, including actual and projected total revenue and cannabis revenue, gross profit, and EBITDA For the projected 2020 – 2024 period, Tilray’s contribution ranged from 26% to 32% for total revenue, from 32% to 38% for cannabis revenue, and from a negative amount to 29% for EBITDA, compared to the 38% share that Tilray Stockholders will own of the Combined Company (based on calculations as at the date of the announcement of the Transaction).
Pro Forma Financial Analysis
Imperial also reviewed and analyzed certain preliminary pro forma financial projections for the combined entity prepared by Cowen. A preliminary application of the same valuation methodologies to the combined entity indicated that the Tilray Stockholders’ 38% share would likely be worth significantly more than Tilray’s indicative stand-alone valuation
Securities Analysts’ Price Targets
Imperial reviewed the target prices for Tilray common shares published by six equity analysts between August and November 2020; the target prices ranged from US$6.00 to US$10.10, with an average of US$8.44 per share.
No methodology employed by Imperial and summarized above can be viewed individually, and if viewed in isolation could create a misleading or incomplete view of the financial analyses performed by Imperial. Imperial used these analyses to determine the impact of various operating metrics on the implied enterprise values and implied per share equity values of Aphria and Tilray. Each of the valuation analyses yielded a range of implied enterprise values and implied per share equity values, and therefore, such implied enterprise value ranges and implied per share equity values developed from these analyses were viewed by Imperial collectively and not individually. Imperial made its determination as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Exchange Ratio, as of the date of the opinion, on the basis of its experience and professional judgment after considering the results of all of the analyses performed
The Imperial opinion was one of many factors taken into account by the Tilray Board in making its determination to approve the Arrangement. Neither the Imperial opinion nor the analyses described above should be viewed as determinative of the Tilray Board’s or Tilray management’s views with respect to Aphria, Tilray, or the Arrangement, and Imperial did not recommend any specific amount of consideration to the Tilray Board or that any specific consideration constituted the only appropriate consideration for the Arrangement.
Certain Tilray Forecasts
Tilray does not as a matter of course make public projections (other than occasional quarterly financial guidance provided to investors, which may be updated from time to time) as to future sales, earnings, or other results, and forecasts for extended periods of time are of particular concern to Tilray due to the early stage nature of the industry,

TABLE OF CONTENTS

unpredictability of the underlying assumptions and estimates and, recently, the uncertain impacts of COVID-19 on market conditions and business results. In connection with the evaluation of the Arrangement, however, Tilray management prepared certain unaudited prospective financial information for fiscal years 2020 through 2023 for the Tilray Board, Cowen, Imperial, Jefferies and Aphria, which are referred to collectively as the “ Tilray Financial Projections ”. The Tilray Financial Projections were prepared treating Tilray on a stand-alone basis, without giving effect to the Arrangement including the impact of negotiating or executing the Arrangement, the expenses that may be incurred in connection with consummating the Arrangement, the potential synergies that may be achieved by the Combined Company as a result of the Arrangement, the effect of any business or strategic decision or action that has been or will be taken as a result of the Arrangement Agreement having been executed, or the effect of any business or strategic decisions or actions which would likely have been taken if the Arrangement Agreement had not been executed but which were instead altered, accelerated, postponed or not taken in anticipation of the Arrangement. In December, 2020, Tilray’s management also prepared certain estimates of synergies expected to be realized following the closing, which are referred to as the “ Tilray Projected Synergies ”. Neither the Tilray Projected Synergies nor other estimated synergies prepared by Aphria are reflected in the Tilray Financial Projections, but are summarized in the section entitled “Description of the Arrangement – Our Reasons for the Arrangement” beginning on page 57 of this Circular.
Neither the Tilray Financial Projections summarized in the table below nor the Tilray Projected Synergies were prepared with a view toward public disclosure or with a view toward compliance with the published guidelines established by the SEC or the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation or presentation of prospective financial information, or U.S. GAAP, but, in the view of Tilray management, were prepared on a reasonable basis, reflected the best available estimates and judgments at the time of preparation, and presented as of the time of preparation, to the best of management’s knowledge and belief, the expected course of action and the expected future financial performance of Tilray. However, this information is not fact and should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results, and readers of this Circular are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the Tilray Financial Projections or the Tilray Projected Synergies. Although Tilray management believes there is a reasonable basis for the Tilray Financial Projections and the Tilray Projected Synergies, Tilray cautions stockholders that future results could be materially different from the Tilray Financial Projections and the Tilray Projected Synergies. This summary of the Tilray Financial Projections and the Tilray Projected Synergies is not being included in this Circular to influence your decision whether to vote for the Tilray Share Issuance Proposal, but because these Tilray Financial Projections and the Tilray Projected Synergies were shared between Tilray and Aphria and provided to Tilray’s and Aphria’s respective financial advisors and boards of directors for purposes of considering and evaluating the Arrangement Agreement and the Arrangement.
The Tilray Financial Projections and the Tilray Projected Synergies were prepared by, and are the responsibility of, Tilray management. Tilray’s independent registered public accounting firm and Aphria’s independent registered public accounting firm have not audited, reviewed, examined, compiled nor applied agreed-upon procedures with respect to the Tilray Financial Projections or the Tilray Projected Synergies. Accordingly, Tilray’s independent registered public accounting firm and Aphria’s independent registered public accounting firm do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto, nor have they expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on such information or its achievability, and assume no responsibility for, and disclaim any association with, the financial projections. The report of Tilray’s independent registered public accounting firm incorporated by reference in this Circular relates to Tilray’ historical financial statements; the report does not extend to the Tilray Financial Projections or the Tilray Projected Synergies and should not be read to do so.
The Tilray Financial Projections and the Tilray Projected Synergies are subject to estimates and assumptions in many respects and, as a result, subject to interpretation. While presented with numerical specificity, the Tilray Financial Projections and the Tilray Projected Synergies are based upon a variety of estimates and assumptions that are inherently uncertain and in no way can anticipate the potential and possible impact of COVID-19 on industry conditions or Tilray’s business, though considered reasonable by Tilray management as of the date of their preparation. These estimates and assumptions may prove to be inaccurate for many reasons, including general economic conditions, the unpredictable impacts of COVID-19, competition, and the risks discussed in this Circular under the sections entitled “Information Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” beginning on pages 12 and 29 of this Circular. See also “Additional Information” beginning on page 158 of this Circular. The Tilray Financial Projections and the Tilray Projected Synergies also reflect assumptions as to certain business decisions that are subject to change. Because the Tilray Financial Projections were developed for Tilray on a stand-alone basis without giving effect to the Arrangement, they do not reflect any synergies that may be realized as a result of the Arrangement or any changes to Tilray’s operations or strategy that may
91

TABLE OF CONTENTS

be implemented after completion of the Arrangement. There can be no assurance that the Tilray Financial Projections or the Tilray Projected Synergies will be realized, and actual results may differ materially from those shown. Generally, the further out the period to which Tilray Financial Projections and the Tilray Projected Synergies relate, the less predictable and more unreliable the information becomes.
The Tilray Financial Projections contain certain non-U.S. GAAP financial measures that Tilray believes are helpful in understanding its past financial performance and future results. Tilray management regularly uses a variety of financial measures that are not in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-U.S. GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable U.S. GAAP measures. While Tilray believes that these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures provide meaningful information to help investors understand the operating results and to analyze Tilray’s financial and business trends on a period-to-period basis, there are limitations associated with the use of these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures. These non-U.S. GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, are not reported by all of Tilray’s competitors and may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of Tilray’s competitors due to potential differences in the exact method of calculation.
Neither Tilray nor Aphria has provided reconciliations of the non-U.S. GAAP financial measures included in these projections to the comparable U.S. GAAP measures due to no reasonably accessible or reliable comparable U.S. GAAP measures for these measures and the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying the measures that are necessary for such reconciliation.
None of Tilray, Aphria, the Combined Company or their respective affiliates, advisors, officers, directors or other representatives can provide any assurance that actual results will not materially differ from the Tilray Financial Projections, or the Tilray Projected Synergies, and none of them undertakes any obligation to update, or otherwise revise or reconcile, the Tilray Financial Projections or the Tilray Projected Synergies to reflect circumstances existing after the date the Tilray Financial Projections or the Tilray Projected Synergies were generated or to reflect the occurrence of future events even in the event that any or all of the assumptions underlying Tilray Financial Projections or the Tilray Projected Synergies, as applicable, are shown to be in error. Except as required by applicable securities laws, Tilray does not intend to make publicly available any update or other revision to the Tilray Financial Projections or the Tilray Projected Synergies, even in the event that any or all assumptions are shown to be in error. Tilray has made publicly available its actual results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 on Tilray’ Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 19, 2021. None of Tilray or its affiliates, advisors, officers, directors or other representatives has made or makes any representation to any Tilray stockholder or other person regarding Tilray’s ultimate performance compared to the information contained in the Tilray Financial Projections, the Tilray Projected Synergies or that forecasted results will be achieved. Tilray has made no representation whatsoever to Aphria, in the Arrangement Agreement or otherwise, concerning the Tilray Financial Projections or the Tilray Projected Synergies.

Unlevered Free Cash Flow, a non-U.S. GAAP term, was calculated by Imperial as the amount equal to (a) Adjusted EBITDA (as provided by Tilray management and shown in the table above) subtracting (b) capital expenditures and changes in net working capital, and interest expenses. This measure was not provided to Aphria or Jefferies.
Summary of Aphria Financial Projections
In addition (as described in the section entitled “Description of the Arrangement – Aphria Unaudited Financial Projections” beginning on page 74 of this Circular), Aphria management prepared certain unaudited prospective financial information for fiscal years 2021 through 2024 for the Aphria Board (the “Aphria Unaudited Financial Projections”. These projections were provided to Cowen and Imperial who calculated the following projections for use in connection with their analyses.

Certain Estimated Synergies
In November 2020, Tilray’s management prepared and presented to the Tilray Board and Tilray’s financial advisor, and Aphria’s financial advisor, certain estimates of synergies estimated to be potentially realizable by the Combined Company after closing, referred to as the Tilray Projected Synergies. At that same diligence meeting, Aphria’s management also presented to the Aphria’s financial advisor, and Tilray’s financial advisor, certain preliminary estimates of synergies estimated to be potentially realizable by the Combined Company after closing. Aphria’s management prepared and provided to its board of directors and to its and Tilray’ financial advisors certain estimates of annual cost synergies estimated to be potentially realizable by the Combined Company within 36 months after closing, referred to as the Aphria estimated synergies, and together with the Tilray Projected Synergies, referred to as the estimated synergies, to the Tilray Board, the Aphria Board, Cowen, Imperial and Jeffries. The estimated synergies include at least $77 million of annual gross pre-tax cost synergies estimated to be potentially realizable within 24 months after closing. The estimated synergies assume that the expected benefits of the Arrangement will be realized, including that no restrictions, terms or other conditions would be imposed in connection with the receipt

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Final Order
An arrangement under the OBCA requires Court approval. Subject to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, and upon obtaining Aphria Shareholder Approval in the manner required by the Interim Order, Aphria will apply to the Court for the Final Order. The application for the Final Order approving the Arrangement is scheduled for April 19, 2021 at 9:30 a.m. (Eastern time), or as soon after that date as is practicable. At the Final Order hearing, any Aphria Shareholder or holder of Aphria Options, Aphria RSUs or Aphria DSUs or other interested party who wishes to participate or to be represented or to present evidence or argument may do so, subject to filing with the Court and serving upon Aphria and Tilray a Notice of Appearance in accordance with the terms of the Interim Order. In the event that the hearing is postponed, adjourned or rescheduled then, subject to further order of the Court, only those persons having previously served a Notice of Appearance in compliance with the Interim Order will be given notice of the postponement, adjournment or rescheduled date. Such persons should consult their legal advisors as to the necessary requirements. See “Appendix “E” – Notice of Application of Final Order”.
The Court will be advised, prior to the hearing, that the Court’s approval of the Arrangement (and determination of the fairness thereof), will constitute the basis for reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) thereof, with respect to the issuance and distribution of the Tilray Shares to be issued by Tilray to Aphria Shareholders pursuant to the Arrangement and with respect to the issuance and distribution of the Replacement Options, Replacement RSUs, Replacement DSUs and Replacement Warrants to be issued to holders of Aphria Options, Aphria RSUs, Aphria DSUs, and 2016 Aphria Warrants respectively. See “U.S. Securities Law Matters”.
The Court has broad discretion under the OBCA when making orders with respect to the Arrangement and the Court, in hearing the application for the Final Order, will consider, among other things, the fairness and reasonableness of the Arrangement to the parties affected, including Aphria Shareholders and holders of Aphria Options, Aphria RSUs, Aphria DSUs and any other interested party as the Court determines appropriate, both from a substantive and a procedural point of view. The Court may approve the Arrangement as proposed or as amended, in any manner the Court may direct, subject to compliance with such terms and conditions, if any, as the Court thinks fit. Depending on the nature of any required amendments, Aphria and Tilray may determine not to proceed with the Arrangement.
For further information regarding the Court hearing and your rights in connection with the Court hearing, see the form of Notice of Application of Final Order attached as Appendix “E” to this Circular.
Assuming the Final Order is granted and the other conditions to closing contained in the Arrangement Agreement are satisfied or waived to the extent legally permissible, then Articles of Arrangement will be filed with the Director to give effect to the Arrangement.
Letter of Transmittal
A Letter of Transmittal has been mailed, together with this Circular, to each person who was a registered Aphria Shareholder on the Aphria Record Date. Each registered Aphria Shareholder must forward a properly completed and signed Letter of Transmittal, with accompanying Aphria share certificate(s) or DRS Statement(s) and all other required documents, as applicable as set out in the Letter of Transmittal, in order to receive the Consideration to which such Aphria Shareholder is entitled under the Arrangement. It is recommended that Aphria Shareholders complete, sign and return the Letter of Transmittal with accompanying Aphria share certificate(s) or DRS Statement(s) to the Depositary as soon as possible. See “Description of the Arrangement – Exchange Procedure”.
Each registered holder of Aphria Shares acknowledges that the risk of loss of Aphria Shares when depositing the share certificate(s) or DRS Statement(s) shall pass only upon proper receipt thereof by the Depositary. Accordingly, any use of the mail to transmit a certificate for Aphria Shares or DRS Statement representing Aphria Shares and a related Letter of Transmittal is at the risk of the Aphria Shareholder. If these documents are mailed, it is recommended that first-class or registered insured mail is used with return receipt requested.
Whether or not Aphria Shareholders forward the share certificate(s) or DRS Statement(s) representing their Aphria Shares, upon completion of the Arrangement on the Effective Date, Aphria Shareholders will cease to be Aphria Shareholders as of the Effective Date and will only be entitled to receive that number of Tilray Shares to which they are entitled under the Arrangement or, in the case of Aphria Shareholders who properly exercise Dissent Rights, the right to receive fair value for their Aphria Shares in accordance with the dissent procedures. See “General Information about the Aphria Meeting and Voting – Aphria Dissenting Shareholders’ Rights”.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The instructions for exchanging share certificates(s) or DRS Statement(s) representing Aphria Shares and depositing such share certificate(s) or DRS Statement(s) with the Depositary are set out in the Letter of Transmittal and should be reviewed carefully. The Letter of Transmittal also provides instructions in respect of lost certificates. See “Description of the Arrangement – Exchange Procedure”.
Any Letter of Transmittal, once deposited with the Depositary, shall be irrevocable and may not be withdrawn by an Aphria Shareholder except that all Letters of Transmittal will be automatically revoked if the Depositary is notified in writing by Aphria and Tilray that the Arrangement Agreement has been terminated, or if the Arrangement is not completed. If a Letter of Transmittal is automatically revoked, the share certificate(s) or DRS Statement(s) for the Aphria Shares received with the Letter of Transmittal will be promptly returned to the Aphria Shareholder submitting the same at the address specified in the Letter of Transmittal.
Exchange Procedure
Following receipt of the Final Order and prior to the Effective Time, Tilray shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Depositary in escrow pending the Effective Time, sufficient Tilray Shares (and any treasury directions addressed to Tilray’s transfer agent as may be necessary) to satisfy the aggregate Consideration payable to the Aphria Shareholders (other than Aphria Dissenting Shareholders) in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement.
Upon surrender to the Depositary for cancellation of a certificate or DRS Statement which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Aphria Shares (other than Aphria Shares held by Tilray or its respective affiliates and any Dissent Shares), together with a duly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal, and such additional documents and instruments as the Depositary may reasonably require, the registered holder of the Aphria Shares represented by such surrendered certificate or DRS Statement shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, and the Depositary shall deliver to such Aphria Shareholder, the Consideration that such Aphria Shareholder has the right to receive under the Arrangement for such Aphria Shares, less any amounts withheld pursuant to Section 5.8 of the Plan of Arrangement, and any certificate or DRS Statement so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled.
Any exchange or transfer of Aphria Shares pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement shall be free and clear of any Liens or other claims of third parties of any kind.
No Fractional Shares
In no event shall any Aphria Shareholder be entitled to a fractional Tilray Share. Where the aggregate number of Tilray Shares to be issued to an Aphria Shareholder as Consideration under the Arrangement would result in a fraction of a Tilray Share being issuable, the number of Tilray Shares to be received by such Aphria Shareholder shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Tilray Share.
Loss of Certificates
In the event any certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any outstanding Aphria Shares (other than Aphria Shares held by Tilray or its respective affiliates and any Dissent Shares) shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the former holder of such Aphria Shares, the Depositary will, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, deliver to such former holder of Aphria Shares, or make available for pick up at its offices, the Tilray Shares such former holder is entitled to receive in respect of such Aphria Shares together with any distributions or dividends which such holder is entitled to receive less, in each case, any amounts withheld pursuant to an extinction of rights. When authorizing such delivery in relation to any lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the former holder of such Aphria Shares will as a condition precedent to the delivery of Tilray Shares, give a bond satisfactory to Tilray and the Depositary (acting reasonably) in such sum as Tilray may direct, or otherwise indemnify Aphria, Tilray and the Depositary against any claim that may be made against any of them with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.
Extinction of Rights after Six Years
Any certificate or book-entry advice statements which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented one or more outstanding Aphria Shares that were acquired by Tilray which is not deposited with the Depositary on or before the sixth anniversary of the Effective Date shall, on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Date, cease to represent a claim or interest of any kind or nature whatsoever, whether as a securityholder or otherwise and whether against Aphria, Tilray, the Depositary or any other person. On such date, the Consideration Shares such former holder of
100

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Tilray Shares would otherwise have been entitled to receive, together with any distributions or dividends such holder would otherwise have been entitled to receive, shall be deemed to have been surrendered for no consideration to Tilray. Neither Aphria nor Tilray will be liable to any person in respect of any cash or securities (including any cash or securities previously held by the Depositary in trust for any such former holder) which is forfeited to Tilray or delivered to any public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.
Withholding Rights
Aphria, Tilray or the Depositary, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct or withhold, from any amounts payable or otherwise deliverable to any person pursuant the Arrangement or the Arrangement Agreement (including, without limitation, any payments to Aphria Dissenting Shareholders), such amounts as Aphria, Tilray or the Depositary, as applicable, determines, acting reasonably, are required to be deducted or withheld with respect to such payment or delivery under the Tax Act, the Code or any provision of any other applicable Laws. To the extent that such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of the Arrangement or Arrangement Agreement as having been paid to the person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid, provided that such deducted or withheld amounts are actually remitted to the appropriate tax authority. Each of Aphria, Tilray, or the Depositary, as applicable, is authorized pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement to sell or otherwise dispose of, on behalf of such person, such portion of any share or other security deliverable to such person as is necessary to provide sufficient funds to Aphria, Tilray or the Depositary, as the case may be, to enable it to comply with such deduction or withholding requirement and Aphria, Tilray or the Depositary shall notify such person thereof and remit the applicable portion of the net proceeds of such sale to the appropriate taxing authority and, if applicable, any portion of such net proceeds that is not required to be so remitted shall be paid to such person.
Non-registered Aphria Shareholders
Aphria Shareholders whose Aphria Shares are registered in the name of a broker, investment dealer or other Intermediary should contact that broker, investment dealer or other Intermediary for instructions and assistance in delivery of the share certificate(s) or DRS Statement(s) representing those Aphria Shares.
No Dividends or Distributions
No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to Tilray Shares with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered certificate which, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented outstanding Aphria Shares that were exchanged unless and until the holder of record of such certificate shall have complied with the provisions of the Arrangement Agreement relating to the surrender of certificates or lost certificates. Subject to applicable Law, at the time of such surrender of any such certificate (or in the case of clause (B) below, at the appropriate payment date), there shall be paid to the holder of record of the certificates formerly representing whole Aphria Shares, without interest, (A) the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to each whole Tilray Share issued to such holder, and (B) on the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to surrender and a payment date subsequent to surrender payable with respect to such whole Tilray Share.
Regulatory Matters
Competition Act Approval
Part IX of the Competition Act requires that the Commissioner be notified of certain classes of transactions that exceed the thresholds set out in Sections 109 and 110 of the said Act (“Notifiable Transactions”) by the parties to the Transaction.
Subject to certain limited exceptions, the parties to a Notifiable Transaction cannot complete the transaction until they have submitted the information prescribed pursuant to Subsection 114(1) of the Competition Act to the Commissioner and the applicable waiting period has expired or been terminated by the Commissioner. The waiting period is 30 calendar days after the day on which the parties to the transaction submit the prescribed information, provided that, before the expiry of this period, the Commissioner has not notified the parties that he requires additional information that is relevant to the Commissioner's assessment of the transaction pursuant to Subsection 114(2) of the Competition Act (a “Supplementary Information Request”). In the event that the Commissioner provides the parties with a Supplementary Information Request, the parties cannot complete their transaction until 30 calendar days after
101

TABLE OF CONTENTS

compliance with such Supplementary Information Request, provided that there is no order in effect prohibiting completion at the relevant time. A transaction may be completed before the end of the applicable waiting period if the Commissioner notifies the parties that he does not, at such time, intend to challenge the transaction by making an application under Section 92 of the Competition Act.
Alternatively, or in addition to filing the prescribed information, a party to a Notifiable Transaction may apply to the Commissioner for an advance ruling certificate (an “ARC”) or a “no-action” letter, which may be issued by the Commissioner in respect of a proposed transaction if he is satisfied that there are not sufficient grounds on which to apply to the Competition Tribunal for an order challenging the transaction under Section 92 of the Competition Act.
At any time before a “merger” (as such term is defined under the Competition Act) is completed, even where the Commissioner has been notified under Subsection 114(1) of the Competition Act and the applicable waiting period has expired, the Commissioner may apply to the Competition Tribunal for an interim order under Subsection 100(1) of the Competition Act forbidding any person named in the application from doing any act or thing where it appears to the Competition Tribunal that such act or thing may constitute or be directed toward the completion or implementation of a proposed merger. The Competition Tribunal may issue such order for up to 30 calendar days where (a) the Commissioner has certified that an inquiry is being made under paragraph 10(1) (b) of the Competition Act and that, in his opinion, more time is required to complete the inquiry, and (b) the Competition Tribunal finds that, in the absence of an interim order, a party to the proposed merger or any other person is likely to take an action that would substantially impair the ability of the Competition Tribunal to remedy the effect of the proposed merger on competition under Section 92 of the Competition Act because that action would be difficult to reverse. The duration of such interim order may be extended for an additional period of up to 30 calendar days where the Competition Tribunal finds, on application made by the Commissioner, that the Commissioner is unable to complete the inquiry within the period specified in the order because of circumstances beyond the control of the Commissioner.
Whether or not a merger is subject to notification under Part IX of the Competition Act, the Commissioner can apply to the Competition Tribunal for a remedial order under Section 92 of the Competition Act at any time before the merger has been completed or, if completed, within one year after it was substantially completed, provided that the Commissioner did not issue an ARC in respect of the merger, or, if the Commissioner did issue an ARC in respect of the merger, provided that (a) the merger was completed more than one year from when the ARC was issued or (b) the merger was completed within one year from when the ARC was issued and the grounds upon which the Commissioner intends to apply to the Competition Tribunal for a remedial order are not the same or substantially the same as the information on the basis of which the ARC was issued. In conjunction with an application under Section 92 of the Competition Act, the Commissioner may also seek any interim order that the Competition Tribunal considers appropriate, having regard to the principles ordinarily considered by superior courts when granting interlocutory or injunctive relief. On application by the Commissioner under Section 92 of the Competition Act, the Competition Tribunal may, where it finds that the merger prevents or lessens, or is likely to prevent or lessen, competition substantially, order that the merger not proceed or, if completed, order its dissolution or the disposition of some of the assets or shares involved in such merger; in addition to, or in lieu thereof, with the consent of the person against whom the order is directed and the Commissioner, the Competition Tribunal can order a person to take any other action. The Competition Tribunal cannot, however, issue a remedial order where it finds that the merger or proposed merger has brought or is likely to bring about gains in efficiency that will be greater than, and will offset, the effects of any prevention or lessening of competition that will result or is likely to result from the merger and that the gains in efficiency would not likely be attained if the order were made.
The transactions contemplated by the Arrangement are a Notifiable Transaction and also constitute a “merger” for the purposes of the Competition Act. The Commissioner issued a “no-action” letter in respect of the Arrangement on February 10, 2021.
HSR Act Approval
Under the HSR Act, parties to transactions that meet certain thresholds must notify in advance the DOJ and the FTC and observe a statutory waiting period before the transaction can close. The Arrangement is subject to these notifications and waiting period requirements under the HSR Act. On or about January 4, 2021, the Parties submitted to the DOJ and FTC the notifications required under the HSR Act. The statutory waiting period expired on February 3, 2021.
At any time before or after the expiration of the statutory waiting period under the HSR Act, the DOJ and the FTC may take action under the antitrust laws, including seeking to enjoin the completion of the Arrangement, to rescind
102

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the Arrangement or to conditionally permit completion of the Arrangement subject to regulatory conditions or other remedies. In addition, non-U.S. regulatory bodies and U.S. state attorneys general could take action under other applicable regulatory laws as they deem necessary or desirable in the public interest, including, without limitation, seeking to enjoin or otherwise prevent the completion of the Arrangement or permitting completion subject to regulatory conditions. Private parties may also seek to take legal action under regulatory laws under some circumstances. There can be no assurance that a challenge to the Arrangement on antitrust grounds will not be made or, if such a challenge is made, that it would not be successful. Clearance was received in the form of a “No Action Letter” on February 10, 2021.
German FDI Approval
Germany’s review of foreign direct investments is governed by the Foreign Trade and Payments Act and the German Foreign Trade and Payments Ordinance. The German foreign direct investment regime distinguishes between: (a) the sector-specific investment review, and (b) the general investment review, which is also called the cross-sector investment review. A transaction that is subject to the sector-specific investment review must notify the Ministry; and for other transactions that may be subject to the general investment review, filing is voluntary (other than critical infrastructure for which filing is mandatory). A review needs to be obtained for any transaction that falls within the scope of the sector-specific review or general investment review and cannot be consummated until it is cleared by the Ministry. The Ministry has two months to decide whether to initiate formal proceedings from the time it is notified of the transaction; and otherwise, approval is deemed to have been granted. If a formal proceeding is initiated, the review period lasts for four additional months.
Aphria and Tilray made a voluntary filing on January 28, 2021.
Health Canada Notification
On January 5, 2020, Aphria submitted the required formal notification to Health Canada. Since then, Aphria has responded to further information requests from Health Canada.
Canadian Securities Law Matters
Canadian Reporting Obligations of Aphria
Aphria is a reporting issuer (or the equivalent) in all of the provinces and territories of Canada.
Canadian Reporting Obligations of Tilray
Tilray is currently a reporting issuer in each Province of Canada other than Quebec and, if the Arrangement is completed, Tilray will, as a result of the Arrangement, continue its reporting issuer status in all provinces and territories of Canada upon the completion of the Arrangement.
Pursuant to NI 71-102, provided that not more than 50% of Tilray’s outstanding voting securities carrying votes for the election of directors are owned directly or indirectly by residents of Canada, Tilray will be exempt from Canadian statutory financial and certain other continuous and timely reporting requirements, including the requirement for insiders of Tilray to file reports with respect to trades of Tilray securities, provided further that Tilray complies with the requirements of U.S. Securities Laws and U.S. market requirements in respect of all financial and other continuous and timely reporting matters and Tilray files with the relevant Canadian securities regulatory authorities copies of its documents filed with the SEC under the U.S. Exchange Act.
Qualification – Resale of Tilray Shares
The issue of Tilray Shares pursuant to the Arrangement will constitute distributions of securities which are exempt from the prospectus requirements of the Canadian Securities Laws and, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, will not be subject to resale restrictions. Recipients of Tilray Shares are urged to obtain legal advice to ensure that their resale of such securities complies with applicable Canadian Securities Laws.
U.S. Securities Law Matters
The following discussion is a general overview of certain requirements of U.S. federal and state securities laws applicable to Aphria Shareholders. All holders of such securities are urged to obtain legal advice to ensure that their resale of such securities complies with applicable U.S. Securities Laws. Also see “Notice to Aphria Shareholders in the United States”.
103

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Aphria Shareholders who resell Tilray Shares must also comply with Canadian Securities Laws, as outlined above.
Status Under U.S. Federal Securities Laws
The Tilray Shares are registered under Section 12(b) of the U.S. Exchange Act and trade on the Nasdaq, and Tilray is subject to periodic reporting obligations under the U.S. Exchange Act. Tilray is not a “foreign private issuer” as defined in Rule 3b-4 under the U.S. Exchange Act, and as a result Tilray and its insiders are subject to the proxy requirements, insider reporting requirements and “short swing” profit rules of the U.S. Exchange Act.
Exemption Relied Upon from the Registration Requirements of the U.S. Securities Act
The Tilray Shares to be issued pursuant to the Arrangement have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act and will be issued in reliance on the exemption afforded by section 3(a)(10) of the U.S. Securities Act.
Section 3(a)(10) of the U.S. Securities Act exempts from registration the offer and sale of a security which is issued in specified exchange transactions where, among other things, the fairness of the terms and conditions of such exchange are approved by a court of authorized government entity after a hearing on the fairness of such terms and conditions, at which all persons to whom it is proposed to issue securities in such exchange have the right to appear, by a court or governmental authority expressly authorized by Law to grant such approval and to hold such a hearing. Accordingly, the Final Order, if granted by the Court, constitutes a basis for the exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act with respect to the Tilray Shares issued in connection with the Arrangement.
Resale of Tilray Shares Within the United States
The Tilray Shares to be issued under the Arrangement will not be subject to resale restrictions under the U.S. Securities Act, except that the U.S. Securities Act imposes restrictions on the resale of Tilray Shares received pursuant to the Arrangement by persons who are at the time of a resale, or who were within three months before the resale, “affiliates” of Tilray. An “affiliate” of an issuer is a person that, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, the issuer. Typically, persons who are executive officers, directors or 10% or greater shareholders of an issuer may be considered to be its “affiliates”.
Any holder of Tilray Shares who is an affiliate of Tilray at the time of a proposed resale, or has been an affiliate within three months before a proposed resale, is urged to consult with its own legal advisor to ensure that any proposed resale of Tilray Shares issued to them under the Arrangement complies with applicable U.S. Securities Act requirements.
Pro Forma Economic Ownership of the Combined Company
Upon completion of the Transaction (based on the shares of Tilray and Aphria issued and issuable as of March 12, 2021), it is estimated that the Exchange Ratio will result in Aphria Shareholders and Tilray Stockholders owning approximately 61.2% and 38.8%, respectively, of the outstanding economic interest in the Combined Company on a fully diluted basis. (6)
Accounting Treatment
The Combined Company will account for the acquisition pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement as a reverse acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in U.S. GAAP requires that either Tilray or Aphria be designated as the acquirer for accounting purposes based on the evidence available. Aphria will be treated as the acquiring entity for accounting purposes.
In identifying Aphria as the acquiring entity, Tilray and Aphria reviewed the accounting guidance as provided in Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations, which takes into account the type of consideration, the structure of the Arrangement and the other transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement, relative outstanding share ownership, the composition of the Combined Company board of directors, designation of senior management positions of the Combined Company, particularly the chief executive officer, relative voting rights, and the relative size as measured by assets, revenue or earnings as well as other metrics an investor would use for evaluating the respective company’s current and future financial performance. Accordingly, the historical financial

The relative ownership percentages as at the date of the announcement of the Transaction were 62% and 38%, respectively, but since the Exchange Ratio remains fixed, the relative ownership percentages have changed as a result of a share issuance by Tilray pursuant to an at-the-market offering on February 25, 2021.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

statements of Aphria will become the historical financial statements of the Combined Company, adjusted to conform to U.S. GAAP and presented in US dollars. The assets and liabilities in Aphria’s adjusted historical financial statements will continue to be recognized at their historical basis. The fiscal year end of the Combined Company will be May 31.
The Combined Company will measure Tilray’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair values, including net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as of the closing of the Arrangement. Any excess of the purchase price over those fair values will be recorded as goodwill. Definite lived intangible assets will be amortized over their estimated useful lives. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and goodwill will not be amortized but will be tested for impairment at least annually. All intangible assets and goodwill are also tested for impairment when certain indicators are present. The allocation of the purchase price reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements is based on preliminary estimates using assumptions Tilray management and Aphria management believe are reasonable and based on currently available information. The final purchase price and fair value assessment of assets and liabilities will be based in part on a detailed valuation that has not yet been completed. Aphria and Tilray have prepared their financial statements under existing IFRS and U.S. GAAP standards, respectively, which are subject to change and interpretation.
Stock Exchange Listing
Tilray will apply to list the Tilray Shares issuable under the Arrangement on the Nasdaq and it is a condition of closing that Tilray will have obtained approval for this listing. See “The Arrangement Agreement and Related Agreements – Covenants”.
If the Arrangement is completed, Tilray intends to have the Aphria Shares delisted from the TSX. In addition, Tilray currently expects to list the Tilray Shares on the TSX at, or as soon as practicable following, the Effective Time, which will trade in Canadian dollars. Consequently, following the closing, Aphria Shareholders are expected to be able to trade their Tilray Shares on either exchange, in either currency.
Treatment of Aphria Convertible Securities
Aphria Options
Each Aphria Option, other than any Continuing Aphria Option, to the extent it has not been exercised as of the Effective Date, will be exchanged by the holder thereof, without any further act or formality and free and clear of all Liens, for a stock option (a “Replacement Option”) to purchase a number of Tilray Shares equal to the product of the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to two decimal places, multiplied by the number of Aphria Shares issuable on exercise of such Aphria Option immediately prior to the Effective Time (rounded down to the next whole number of Tilray Shares) for an exercise price per Tilray Share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to the exercise price per share of such Aphria Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to two decimal places, and the Aphria Options shall thereupon be cancelled. The term to expiry, conditions to and manner of exercise and other terms and conditions of each of the Replacement Options shall be the same as the terms and conditions of the Aphria Option for which it is exchanged except that such Replacement Options shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the Tilray Plan and, in the event of any inconsistency or conflict the Tilray Plan shall govern.
It is intended that subsection 7(1.4) of the Tax Act apply to the exchange of Aphria Options for Replacement Options by Aphria Securityholders resident in Canada who acquired Aphria Options by virtue of their employment. Accordingly, and notwithstanding the foregoing, if required, the exercise price of a Replacement Option held by such Aphria Securityholders will be increased such that the In-The-Money Amount of the Replacement Option immediately after the exchange does not exceed the In-The-Money Amount of the Aphria Option immediately before the exchange. Any document previously evidencing an Aphria Option shall thereafter evidence and be deemed to evidence a Replacement Option and no certificates evidencing Replacement Options shall be issued.
Continuing Aphria Options
Each Continuing Aphria Option shall, without any further action on the part of a‎ny holder of any Continuing Aphria Option, be ‎continued on the same terms and ‎conditions as were applicable immediately prior to ‎the Effective Time, except that, ‎pursuant to the terms of the Aphria Omnibus Incentive Plan, the terms of the Continuing ‎Aphria Options shall be amended so as to substitute for ‎the Aphria Shares subject to such ‎Continuing Aphria Options such number of Tilray Shares ‎equal to (A) the number of ‎Aphria Shares subject to the Continuing Aphria Options immediately ‎prior to the ‎Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to ‎two decimal p‎laces.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Aphria RSUs and Aphria DSUs
Each Aphria RSU and Aphria DSU, other than any Continuing Aphria RSU or DSU, respectively, to the extent it has not been exercised as of the Effective Date, will be exchanged by the holder thereof, without any further act or formality and free and clear of all Liens, for an award of restricted share units granted by Tilray (the “Replacement RSUs”) or an award of deferred share units granted by Tilray (the “Replacement DSUs”), respectively, in respect of a number of Tilray Shares equal to the product of the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to two decimal places, multiplied by the number of Aphria Shares underlying such Aphria RSUs or Aphria DSUs, as applicable, immediately prior to the Effective Time (rounded down to the next whole number of Tilray Shares), and the Aphria RSUs and Aphria DSUs, as applicable, shall thereupon be cancelled. The term to expiry, conditions to and manner of receipt and other terms and conditions of each of the Replacement RSUs and Replacement DSUs shall be the same as the terms and conditions of the Aphria RSU and Aphria DSU, respectively, for which it is exchanged except that such Replacement RSU and Replacement DSU, as applicable, shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the Tilray Plan and, in the event of any inconsistency or conflict the Tilray Plan shall govern. Any document previously evidencing the Aphria RSUs and Aphria DSUs shall thereafter evidence and be deemed to evidence such Replacement RSUs and Replacement DSUs, as applicable, and no certificates evidencing the Replacement RSUs and Replacement DSUs, as applicable, shall be issued.
It is intended that subsection 7(1.4) of the Tax Act apply to the exchange of Aphria RSUs for Replacement RSUs by Aphria Securityholders resident in Canada who acquired Aphria RSUs by virtue of their employment.
Continuing Aphria RSUs and DSUs
Each Continuing Aphria RSU shall, without any further action on the part of ‎any holder of any Continuing Aphria RSU, be ‎continued on the same terms and c‎onditions as were applicable immediately prior to ‎the Effective Time, except that, ‎pursuant to the terms of the Aphria Omnibus Incentive Plan, the terms of the Continuing ‎Aphria RSUs shall be amended so as to substitute for ‎the Aphria Shares subject to such ‎Continuing Aphria RSUs such number of Tilray Shares ‎equal to (A) the number of ‎Aphria Shares subject to the Continuing Aphria RSUs immediately ‎prior to the ‎Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to ‎two decimal ‎places.

2016 Aphria Warrants
Each 2016 Aphria Warrant, to the extent it has not been exercised as of the Effective Date, will be exchanged by the holder thereof, without any further act or formality and free and clear of all Liens, for a warrant (a “Replacement Warrant”) to purchase a number of Tilray Shares equal to the product of the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to two decimal places, multiplied by the number of Aphria Shares issuable on exercise of such Aphria Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time for an exercise price per Tilray Share equal to the exercise price per share of such Aphria Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to two decimal places, and rounded up to the nearest whole cent (provided that, if the foregoing calculation results in a Replacement Warrant being exercisable for a fraction of a Tilray Share, then the number of Tilray Shares subject to such Replacement Warrant shall be rounded down to the next whole number of Tilray Shares) and the 2016 Aphria Warrants shall thereupon be cancelled. The term to expiry, conditions to and manner of exercise and other terms and conditions of each of the Replacement Warrants shall be the same as the terms and conditions of the 2016 Aphria Warrant for which it is exchanged. Any document previously evidencing a 2016 Aphria Warrant shall thereafter evidence and be deemed to evidence such Replacement Warrant and no certificates evidencing the Replacement Warrants shall be issued.
2020 Aphria Warrants
Each 2020 Aphria Warrant shall, without any further action on the part of any holder of 2020 Aphria Warrants, be continued on the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that, pursuant to the terms of the Aphria Warrant Indenture, the terms of the 2020 Aphria Warrants shall be amended so as to substitute for the Aphria Shares subject to such 2020 Aphria Warrants such number of Tilray Shares equal to (A) the number of Aphria Shares subject to the 2020 Aphria Warrants immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to two decimal places.

Aphria Omnibus Incentive Plan and Aphria Warrant Indenture
The Aphria Omnibus Incentive Plan and the Aphria Warrant Indenture shall be terminated and, for greater certainty, all rights to receive any securities of the Aphria formerly held by Aphria Shareholders shall be extinguished.
Aphria Convertible Senior Notes
On or prior to the Effective Time, it is expected that the Aphria Convertible Senior Note Indenture under which the Aphria Convertible Senior Notes were issued will be amended pursuant to the Aphria Convertible Senior Notes Supplemental Indenture such that, among other things, on conversion of the Aphria Convertible Senior Notes, noteholders will receive Tilray Shares in lieu of Aphria Shares.
Description of Aphria Indebtedness
Aphria Convertible Senior Notes
In April 2019, Aphria issued Aphria Convertible Senior Notes pursuant to the Aphria Convertible Senior Note Indenture. The proceeds of the Aphria Convertible Senior Notes were used to support Aphria’s international expansion initiatives, for future acquisitions and for general corporate purposes, including working capital requirements, in jurisdictions where federally and nationally legal.
The Aphria Convertible Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.25% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1, of each year, beginning December 1, 2019. The Aphria Convertible Senior Notes mature on June 1, 2024, unless earlier converted. Holders may convert their notes prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding December 1, 2023, only under the following circumstances:
1.
during the five business-day period after any five consecutive trading-day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of Aphria Convertible Senior Notes for each day of such five consecutive trading-day period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of Aphria Shares and the applicable conversion rate on each such day;

3.
during any fiscal quarter after the fiscal quarter ending on August 31, 2019 (and only during such fiscal quarter), if the last reported sale price of Aphria’s common stock for at least 20 trading days during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the preceding fiscal quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable conversion price on each such trading day;

7.
if Aphria Shares ceases to be listed or quoted on any of The New York Stock Exchange, Nasdaq, The Nasdaq Global Market or the TSX (items 4 through 7, an “Aphria make-whole fundamental change”); or
8.
if Aphria call the Aphria Convertible Senior Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the scheduled trading day prior to the redemption date.
On or after December 1, 2023 until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert their Aphria Convertible Senior Notes, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, at the option of the holder regardless of the foregoing circumstances.
Upon a conversion prior to the closing of the Arrangement, Aphria will satisfy its conversion obligation by paying or delivering cash, shares of its common stock or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at its election. The conversion rate was initially 106.5644 shares of Aphria common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Aphria Convertible Senior Notes. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment in some events but will not be adjusted for accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, following any Aphria make-whole fundamental change that occurs prior to the maturity date, Aphria will increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its Aphria Convertible Senior Notes in connection with such an Aphria make-whole fundamental change in certain circumstances. The increase in the conversion rate is determined based on a formula that takes into consideration Aphria’s stock price at the time of the make-whole fundamental change (ranging from US$7.82 to US$40.00 per share) and the remaining time to maturity of the Aphria Convertible Senior Notes. The increase in the conversion rate declines from a high of 21.3128% to 0.0% as the stock price at the time of the make-whole fundamental change increases from US$7.82 and the remaining time to maturity of the Aphria Convertible Senior Notes decreases.
On or after June 6, 2022, and on or before the 30th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, Aphria may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Aphria Convertible Senior Notes if the last reported sales price of Aphria’s common stock equals or exceeds 130% of the conversion price then in effect for 20 or more trading days in a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately prior to the date of the redemption notice. The redemption price will equal 100% of the principal amount of the Aphria Convertible Senior Notes to be redeemed plus any accrued and unpaid interest, to, but excluding, the redemption date. To the extent a holder converts its Aphria Convertible Senior Notes in connection with Aphria’s redemption notice, Aphria will increase the conversion rate as described in the preceding paragraph.
The Aphria Convertible Senior Notes are senior, unsecured obligations of Aphria and rank equally in right of payment with Aphria’s senior unsecured debt and are senior in right of payment to Aphria’s debt that is expressly subordinated to the Aphria Convertible Senior Notes, if any. The Aphria Convertible Senior Notes are structurally subordinated to all debt and other liabilities and commitments of Aphria’s subsidiaries and are effectively junior to Aphria’s secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt.
As of March 12, 2021, US$259,240,000 principal amount of Aphria Convertible Senior Notes remained outstanding.
Aphria Convertible Senior Note Supplemental Indenture
In connection with and upon the closing of the Transaction, Tilray and Aphria will enter into a supplemental indenture (“Aphria Convertible Senior Notes Supplemental Indenture”) to the Aphria Convertible Senior Note Indenture. The Aphria Convertible Senior Notes Supplemental Indenture will provide that (i) the Aphria Convertible Senior Notes will be convertible into the Tilray Shares rather than into Aphria Shares; and (ii) Tilray will guaranty the Aphria Convertible Senior Notes.

Aphria provided a guaranty of the BMO FT Credit Facility. The BMO FT Credit Facility contains affirmative, negative and financial covenants that are typical in the industry for similar financings, including, but not limited to, covenants that, subject to exceptions described in the BMO FT Credit Facility, restrict the ability of Four Twenty and SweetWater and its subsidiaries to: (i) create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any indebtedness; (ii) create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any liens; (iii) merge into or consolidate into any person, sell, transfer, assign, lease or otherwise disposes of any of its property; (iv) make any restricted payments; (v) make any investments; (vi) pay any management, consulting or similar fees to any affiliate of or officer, director or employee of Four Twenty, SweetWater and its subsidiaries; (vii) enter into certain hedging transactions; (viii) enter into transactions with affiliates; (ix) amend certain material agreements and organizational documents; (x) make significant changes to accounting treatment or reporting practices or change the fiscal year of Four Twenty; (xi) enter into sale leaseback transactions; (xii) maintain a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio above 1.25:1.00; and (xiii) maintain a consolidated total leverage ratio below a certain target at the end of each fiscal quarter.

Description of Tilray Indebtedness
Tilray Convertible Senior Notes
In October of 2018, Tilray issued Tilray Convertible Senior Notes pursuant to the Tilray Convertible Senior Note Indenture. The proceeds of the Tilray Convertible Senior Notes were used for working capital, future acquisitions and general capital purposes and to repay an existing mortgage related to Tilray’s facility in Nanaimo, British Columbia.
The Tilray Convertible Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.00% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1, of each year, beginning April 1, 2019. The Tilray Convertible Senior Notes mature on October 1, 2023, unless earlier converted. Holders may convert their notes prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding April 1, 2023, only under the following circumstances:
1.
during the five business-day period after any ten consecutive trading-day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of Tilray Convertible Senior Notes for each day of such ten consecutive trading-day period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of Tilray’s common stock and the applicable conversion rate on each such day;
2.
if Tilray: (a) elects to issue rights to all or substantially all of the holders of its common stock entitling them to purchase, for a period of not more than 45 calendar days after the announcement date of such issuance to subscribe for or purchase, shares of its common stock at a price per share less than the average of the last reported sale prices of its common stock for the 10 consecutive trading day period ending on the trading day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance; (b) elects to distribute to all or substantially all of the holders of its common stock Tilray’s assets, securities or rights to purchase Tilray’s securities, if the distribution has a per share value in excess of 10% of the last reported sale price for Tilray’s common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such distribution; or (c) Tilray is a party to a consolidation, merger, binding share exchange or transfer or lease of all or substantially all of Tilray’s assets, pursuant to which Tilray’s common stock would be converted into cash, securities or other assets;
3.
during any calendar quarter after the calendar quarter ending on March 31, 2019 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of Tilray’s common stock for at least 20 trading days during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the preceding fiscal quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable conversion price on each such trading day;
4.
if: (a) a “person” or “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the U.S. Exchange Act acquires more than 50% of Tilray’s outstanding voting common stock and files a Schedule TO or any schedule, form or report under the Exchange Act disclosing such acquisition or (b) any permitted holder or “group” within the meaning of
110

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Section 13(d) of the U.S. Exchange Act acquires more than 85% of Tilray’s outstanding shares of Class 1 common stock and common stock taken together as a single class on an as-converted basis, and less than 90% of the consideration received by Tilray’s common shareholders consists of publicly traded securities;
5.
if: (a) Tilray consummates a recapitalization, reclassification or change of its common stock as a result of which its common stock would be converted into or exchanged for stock, other securities, other property or assets; (b) Tilray consummates a share exchange, consolidation, or merger pursuant to which Tilray’s common stock will be converted into cash, securities or other property; or (c) Tilray consummates any sale, lease or other transfer in one transaction or a series of transactions of all or substantially all of its and its subsidiaries’ consolidated assets to any person other than one of Tilray’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, and in each case, less than 90% of the consideration received by Tilray’s common shareholders consists of publicly traded securities;
6.
if Tilray’s stockholders approve any plan or proposal for its liquidation or dissolution;
7.
if Tilray’s common stock ceases to be listed or quoted on any of the NYSE, the Nasdaq or The Nasdaq Global Market (items 4 through 7, a “Tilray make-whole fundamental change”); or
8.
if Tilray call the Tilray Convertible Senior Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day prior to the redemption date.
On or after April 1, 2023 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert their Tilray Convertible Senior Notes, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, at the option of the holder regardless of the foregoing circumstances.
Upon a conversion prior to the closing of the Arrangement, Tilray will satisfy its conversion obligation by paying or delivering cash, shares of its common stock or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at its election. The conversion rate was initially 5.9735 shares of Tilray common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Tilray Convertible Senior Notes. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment in some events but will not be adjusted for accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, following any Tilray make-whole fundamental change that occurs prior to the maturity date, Tilray will increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its Tilray Convertible Senior Notes in connection with such a Tilray make-whole fundamental change in certain circumstances. The increase in the conversion rate is determined based on a formula that takes into consideration Tilray’s stock price at the time of the make-whole fundamental change (ranging from US$145.57 to US$450.00 per share) and the remaining time to maturity of the Tilray Convertible Senior Notes. The increase in the conversion rate declines from a high of 0.896% to 0.0% as the stock price at the time of the make-whole fundamental change increases from US$145.57 and the remaining time to maturity of the Tilray Convertible Senior Notes decreases.
On a redemption date on or after October 1, 2021, and on or before the 30th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, Tilray may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Tilray Convertible Senior Notes if the last reported sales price of Tilray’s common stock equals or exceeds 130% of the conversion price then in effect for 20 or more trading days, including the trading day immediately preceding the date on which Tilray provides the related redemption notice, in a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately prior to the date of the redemption notice. The redemption price will equal 100% of the principal amount of the Tilray Convertible Senior Notes to be redeemed plus any accrued and unpaid interest, to, but excluding, the redemption date. To the extent a holder converts its Tilray Convertible Senior Notes in connection with Tilray’s redemption notice, Tilray will increase the conversion rate as described in the preceding paragraph.
The Tilray Convertible Senior Notes are senior, unsecured obligations of Tilray and rank equally in right of payment with Tilray’s senior unsecured debt and are senior in right of payment to Tilray’s debt that is expressly subordinated to the Tilray Convertible Senior Notes, if any. The Tilray Convertible Senior Notes are structurally subordinated to all debt and other liabilities and commitments of Tilray’s subsidiaries and are effectively junior to Tilray’s secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt.
As of February 28, 2021, US$277.9 million principal amount of Tilray Convertible Senior Notes remained outstanding (on an unaudited basis). The carrying value of the equity component of the Tilray Convertible Senior Notes was US$25.4 million as of February 28, 2021 (on an unaudited basis).

Aphria Dissenting Shareholders’ Rights
The following is a summary of the provisions of the OBCA, as modified by the Plan of Arrangement and the Interim Order, relating to an Aphria Shareholder’s Dissent Rights in respect of the Aphria Resolution. Such summary is not a comprehensive statement of the procedures to be followed by an Aphria Dissenting Shareholder who seeks payment of the fair value of its Aphria Shares and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of Section 185 of the OBCA, which is attached to this Circular as Appendix “K”, as modified by the Plan of Arrangement and the Interim Order.
The statutory provisions dealing with the right of dissent are technical and complex. Any Aphria Dissenting Shareholder should seek independent legal advice, as failure to comply strictly with the provisions of Section 185 of the OBCA, as modified by the Plan of Arrangement and the Interim Order, may result in the loss of all Dissent Rights.
Shareholders may exercise Dissent Rights from the Aphria Resolution pursuant to and in the manner set forth under Section 185 of the OBCA, as modified by the Plan of Arrangement and the Interim Order, provided that, notwithstanding Section 185 of the OBCA, the Written Objection must be sent to Aphria by holders who wish to dissent and be received by Aphria not later than 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the date that is two Business Days immediately prior to the Aphria Meeting or any date to which the Aphria Meeting may be postponed or adjourned.
Shareholders who wish to dissent should take note that the procedures for dissenting to the Aphria Resolution require strict compliance with the applicable dissent procedures. Pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, the following do not have dissent rights: (i) holders of Aphria Options; (ii) holders of Aphria RSUs, (iii) holders of Aphria DSUs, (iv) holders of 2016 Aphria Warrants, and (v) holders of Aphria Shares who vote in favour of the Aphria Resolution.
Dissent Rights to the Aphria Resolution for Shareholders
As indicated in the Notice of Aphria Meeting, any registered Aphria Shareholder is entitled to be paid the fair value of the Aphria Shares held by such holder in accordance with Section 185 of the OBCA, as modified by the Plan of Arrangement and the Interim Order, if such holder exercises Dissent Rights and the Arrangement becomes effective.
112

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Anyone who is a beneficial owner of Aphria Shares registered in the name of an Intermediary and who wishes to dissent should be aware that only registered Aphria Shareholders are entitled to exercise Dissent Rights. A registered Aphria Shareholder who holds Aphria Shares as an Intermediary for one or more beneficial owners, one or more of whom wish to exercise Dissent Rights, must exercise such Dissent Rights on behalf of such holder(s). In such case, the notice should specify the number of Aphria Shares held by the Intermediary for such beneficial owner. An Aphria Dissenting Shareholder may dissent only with respect to all the Aphria Shares held on behalf of any one beneficial owner and registered in the name of the Aphria Dissenting Shareholder.
The following description of the dissent procedures is not a comprehensive statement of the procedures to be followed by an Aphria Dissenting Shareholder who seeks payment of the fair value of its Aphria Shares and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan of Arrangement, the Interim Order and Section 185 of the OBCA, which are attached to this Circular as Appendices A and C and G, respectively. A registered Aphria Shareholder who intends to exercise the Dissent Rights should carefully consider and comply with the provisions of Section 185 of the OBCA, as modified by the Interim Order and the Plan of Arrangement, and seek independent legal advice. Failure to comply strictly with the provisions of the OBCA, as modified by the Interim Order and the Plan of Arrangement, and to adhere to the procedures established therein, may result in the loss of all rights thereunder.
The Court hearing the application for the Final Order has the discretion to alter the Dissent Rights described herein.
Registered Aphria Shareholders who duly exercise Dissent Rights and who:
(a)
are ultimately entitled to be paid fair value for their Dissent Shares, which fair value shall be the fair value of such shares as of the close of business on the last Business Day before the day on which the Arrangement is approved by Aphria Shareholders at the Aphria Meeting, shall be paid an amount equal to such fair value by Aphria and shall be deemed to have transferred such Dissent Shares to Aphria in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement; or
(b)
are ultimately not entitled, for any reason, to be paid fair value for their Aphria Shares in respect of which they have exercised Dissent Rights, shall be deemed to have participated in the Arrangement, as of the Effective Time, on the same basis as a non-dissenting Aphria Shareholder and shall be entitled to receive only the Consideration that such holder would have received pursuant to the Arrangement if such holder had not exercised Dissent Rights, but in no case shall Aphria, Tilray or any other person be required to recognize registered Aphria Shareholders who exercise Dissent Rights as Aphria Shareholders after the Effective Time, and the names of such registered Aphria Shareholders who exercise Dissent Rights shall be removed from the applicable register of shareholders as at the Effective Time. There can be no assurance that an Aphria Dissenting Shareholder will receive consideration for its Aphria Shares of equal or greater value to the Consideration that such Aphria Dissenting Shareholder would have received under the Arrangement.
Section 185 of the OBCA
Section 185 of the OBCA, as modified by the Plan of Arrangement and the Interim Order, provides that registered Aphria Shareholders who dissent to the Arrangement in compliance with Section 185 of the OBCA may exercise a right of dissent and require Tilray to purchase the Aphria Shares held by such Aphria Shareholders at the fair value of such Aphria Shares.
The exercise of Dissent Rights does not deprive a registered Aphria Shareholder of the right to vote at the Aphria Meeting. However, a registered Aphria Shareholder is not entitled to exercise Dissent Rights in respect of the Aphria Resolution if such holder votes any of the Aphria Shares beneficially held by such holder FOR the Aphria Resolution. The execution or exercise of a proxy against the Aphria Resolution does not constitute a Written Objection for purposes of the right to dissent under Section 185 of the OBCA.
An Aphria Dissenting Shareholder must dissent with respect to all Aphria Shares in which the holder owns a beneficial interest. A registered Aphria Shareholder who wishes to dissent must send to Aphria, at or before the Aphria Meeting, a written objection to the resolution (a “Written Objection”), unless Aphria did not give notice to such shareholder of the purpose of the meeting or of such shareholder’s right to dissent. Such Written Objection must strictly comply with the requirements of Section 185 of the OBCA. Any failure by a registered Aphria Shareholder to fully comply may result in the loss of that holder’s Dissent Rights. Non-registered Aphria Shareholders who wish to exercise Dissent Rights must arrange for the registered Aphria Shareholder holding their Aphria Shares to deliver the Written Objection.
A vote against the Aphria Resolution, whether in person or by proxy, or not voting on the Aphria Resolution does not constitute a Written Objection. Aphria shall, within ten Business Days after the shareholders adopt the Aphria
113

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Resolution, send to each Aphria Dissenting Shareholder a notice that the Aphria Resolution has been adopted, stating that the company intends to act, or has acted, on the authority of the Aphria Resolution and advise the Aphria Dissenting Shareholder of the manner in which dissent is to be completed under Section 185 of the OBCA.
If the Aphria Resolution is approved by the Aphria Shareholders as required at the Aphria Meeting, and if Aphria notifies the Aphria Dissenting Shareholders of its intention to act upon the Aphria Resolution, pursuant to Section 185 of the OBCA, the Aphria Dissenting Shareholder is then required, within 20 days after receipt of such notice, to send to Aphria or its transfer agent a signed written notice setting out the Aphria Dissenting Shareholder’s name, the number and class of Aphria Shares in respect of which the Aphria Dissenting Shareholder dissents and that the Dissent Right is being exercised in respect of all of the Aphria Dissenting Shareholder’s Aphria Shares (a “Dissent Notice”). The written notice should contain any share certificate or certificates representing the Aphria Shares in respect of which the Aphria Dissenting Shareholder has exercised Dissent Rights (if any) and a demand for payment of the fair value of such Aphria Shares. An Aphria Dissenting Shareholder who fails to send to Aphria or transfer agent within the required periods of time the required Dissent Notice or the certificates representing the Aphria Shares in respect of which the Aphria Dissenting Shareholder has dissented may forfeit its Dissent Rights. Upon delivery of these documents, the Aphria Dissenting Shareholder ceases to have any rights as an Aphria Shareholder other than the right to be paid the fair value of the shares, except where the Aphria Dissenting Shareholder withdraws the Dissent Notice before Aphria makes an offer, Aphria fails to make an offer and the Aphria Dissenting Shareholder withdraws the Dissent Notice, or the directors revoke the Aphria Resolution, in which case the dissenting shareholder’s rights are reinstated as of the date the Aphria Dissenting Shareholder sent the Dissent Notice.
The Aphria Dissenting Shareholder and Tilray may agree on the payout value of the Dissent Shares; otherwise, either party may apply to the Court to determine the fair value of the Dissent Shares or apply for an order that value be established by arbitration or by reference to the registrar or a referee of the Court. If the matters provided for in the Aphria Resolution become effective and the Aphria Dissenting Shareholder has complied with Section 185, after a determination of the payout value of the Dissent Shares, Aphria must then promptly pay that amount to the Aphria Dissenting Shareholder.
Addresses for Notice
All notices to Aphria of dissent to the Aphria Resolution pursuant to Section 185 of the OBCA should be addressed to the attention of the Chief Legal Officer of Aphria and be sent not later than 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the date that is two Business Days immediately prior to the Aphria Meeting, or any date to which the Aphria Meeting may be postponed or adjourned, to: Aphria Inc., 1 Adelaide Street East, Suite 2310, Toronto, ON, M5C 2V9, Attention: Christelle Gedeon, Chief Legal Officer (email: info @aphria.com ).
Strict Compliance with Dissent Provisions Required
The foregoing summary does not purport to provide comprehensive statements of the procedures to be followed by an Aphria Dissenting Shareholder under Section 185 of the OBCA, as modified by the Plan of Arrangement and the Interim Order, and reference should be made to the specific provisions of Section 185 of the OBCA, the Plan of Arrangement and the Interim Order.

Accordingly, each registered Aphria Shareholder who wishes to exercise Dissent Rights should carefully consider and comply with the provisions of Section 185 of the OBCA, the Plan of Arrangement and the Interim Order and consult a legal advisor. A copy of Section 185 of the OBCA is set out in Appendix “K” to this Circular and a copy of the Plan of Arrangement and the Interim Order are set out in Appendix “B” and Appendix “D”, respectively, to this Circular.
Each registered Aphria Shareholder wishing to exercise the Dissent Rights should carefully consider and comply with the provisions of the Interim Order and Section 185 of the OBCA, which are attached to this Circular as Appendix “D” and Appendix “K”, respectively, and seek his, her or its own legal advice.

THE ARRANGEMENT AGREEMENT AND RELATED AGREEMENTS
The following is a summary of the principal terms of the Arrangement Agreement. This summary does not purport to be complete and may not contain all of the information about the Arrangement Agreement that is important to Aphria Shareholders. The rights and obligations of the Parties are governed by the express terms and conditions of the Arrangement Agreement and not by this summary or any other information contained in this Circular. This summary is qualified in its entirety by, in the case of the Arrangement Agreement, the complete text of the Arrangement Agreement, a copy of which is attached to this Circular as Appendix “A” and is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov, and in the case of the Plan of Arrangement, the complete text of the Plan of Arrangement, a copy of which is attached at Appendix “B” to this Circular.
On December 15, 2020, Aphria entered into an arrangement agreement, as amended on February 19, 2021 with Tilray, pursuant to which Aphria and Tilray agreed that, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Arrangement Agreement, Tilray will acquire 100 percent of the Aphria Shares pursuant to a plan of arrangement under the OBCA. Upon completion of the Arrangement, Aphria Shareholders (other than Aphria Dissenting Shareholders) will receive, for each Aphria Share held, 0.8381 of a Tilray Share.
The terms of the Arrangement Agreement were the result of arm’s length negotiation between Aphria and Tilray and their respective advisors.
Representations and Warranties
Except for its status as the contractual document that establishes and governs the legal relations among Aphria and Tilray with respect to the Arrangement, Aphria and Tilray do not intend for the Arrangement Agreement to be a source of factual, business or operational information about Aphria or Tilray. The Arrangement Agreement contains representations and warranties made by Aphria to Tilray, and by Tilray to Aphria, which are summarized below. These representations and warranties have been made by each Party solely for the benefit of the other Party and:
were not intended as statements of fact, but rather as a way of allocating the risk to one of the Parties if those statements prove to be inaccurate;
have been qualified by certain confidential disclosures that were made to the other Party in connection with the negotiation of the Arrangement Agreement, which disclosures are not reflected in the Arrangement Agreement; and
may apply standards of materiality (including, in the case of Aphria, an Aphria Material Adverse Effect and in the case of Tilray, a Tilray Material Adverse Effect) that may be different from that considered material to Aphria Shareholders or Tilray Stockholders, or that may have been used for the purpose of allocating risk between the Parties rather than for the purpose of establishing facts.
Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties in the Arrangement Agreement were made as of specific dates specified therein and may have changed since the date of the Arrangement Agreement. For the foregoing reasons, you should not rely on the representations and warranties contained in the Arrangement Agreement as statements of factual information at the time they were made or otherwise.

124

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, each of Aphria and Tilray agreed to, and to cause its Representatives to, immediately cease and terminate, and cause to be terminated, any existing solicitation, encouragement, discussion, negotiation, or other activities commenced prior to the date of the Arrangement Agreement with any person (other than the other Party) with respect to any inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes or could reasonably be expected to constitute or lead to, an Acquisition Proposal, and in connection therewith, each Party agreed to:
(a)
immediately discontinue access to and disclosure of any of its confidential information, including any data room and any confidential information, properties, facilities, books and records of such Party or of any of its Subsidiaries; and
(b)
within two Business Days of the date of the Arrangement Agreement, request and exercise all rights it has under any confidentiality agreement at the date of the Arrangement Agreement related to any Acquisition Proposal, including an Acquisition Proposal made prior to the date of the Arrangement Agreement, (i) the return or destruction of all copies of any confidential information regarding such Party or any of its Subsidiaries provided to any person relating to an Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry, proposal or offer that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal and (ii) the destruction of all material including or incorporating or otherwise reflecting such confidential information regarding such Party or any of its Subsidiaries.
In the Arrangement Agreement, each Party represented that it had not, as of the date of the Arrangement Agreement and in the 12 months prior to the date of the Arrangement Agreement, waived any confidentiality, standstill, non-disclosure, non-solicitation or similar agreement or restriction to which such Party or any of its Subsidiaries is a party. Each Party further agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce each confidentiality, standstill, non-disclosure, non-solicitation or similar agreement, restriction or covenant to which it or its Subsidiaries is a party and relates to a potential Acquisition Proposal (including a potential Acquisition Proposal made prior to the date of the Arrangement Agreement) and neither it, nor any of its Subsidiaries have or will, without the prior written consent of the other Party (which may be withheld or delayed in the other Party’s sole and absolute discretion), release any Person from, or waive, amend, suspend or otherwise modify such Person’s obligations, or any of its Subsidiaries, under any such confidentiality, standstill, non-disclosure, non-solicitation or similar agreement to which the Party or any of its Subsidiaries is a party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties acknowledged and agreed that the automatic termination or release of any such agreement, restriction or covenant in accordance with their terms will not be a violation of the non-solicitation provisions of the Arrangement Agreement.
Each Party further agreed to advise its Representatives of the prohibitions set out in the non-solicitation provisions of the Arrangement Agreement and to advise such Representatives that any violation of the restrictions set forth in the non-solicitation provisions of the Arrangement Agreement by a Party’s Representatives is deemed to be a breach of the non-solicitation provisions of the Arrangement Agreement by such Party.
Notification of Acquisition Proposals
Pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, if a Party or any of its Representatives receives an Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes or could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal after the date of the Arrangement Agreement, or any request for copies of, access to, or disclosure of, confidential information relating to such Party or any Subsidiary in connection with such an Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, proposal or offer, such Party shall as soon as practicable and in any event within 24 hours of the receipt thereof notify the other Party (at first orally and then in writing) of such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, proposal, offer or request.
Such notice shall include a description of the material terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, proposal, offer or request and the identity of all persons making the Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, proposal, offer or request and such Party shall provide the other Party with unredacted copies of all written documents, correspondence or other material received in respect of, from or on behalf of any such person or any other information reasonably necessary to keep the other Party informed in all material respects of the Acquisition Proposal.

if in writing or electronic form, and if not in writing or electronic form, a description of the material terms of such correspondence sent or communicated to such Party by or on behalf of any person making any such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, proposal, offer or request or change thereof.
Responding to an Acquisition Proposal
Notwithstanding any provision of the Arrangement Agreement, if at any time following the date of the Arrangement Agreement and prior to, in the case of Tilray, the approval of the Tilray Resolutions by the Tilray Stockholders, and, in the case of Aphria, the approval of the Aphria Resolution by the Aphria Shareholders, a Party receives an Acquisition Proposal that did not result from a breach of the non-solicitation provisions of the Arrangement Agreement (it being understood that a Party will not be in breach of the non-solicitation provisions of the Arrangement Agreement if such Party or its Representatives contact the Person who has made an Acquisition Proposal for the sole purpose of clarifying the terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal), such Party and its Representatives may engage in or participate in discussions or negotiations regarding such Acquisition Proposal, and may provide copies of, access to or disclosure of information, properties, facilities, books or records of such Party or its Subsidiaries to the person or persons making such Acquisition Proposal, if and only if:
(a)
the board of directors of such Party first determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and its outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or could reasonably be expected to constitute or lead to a Superior Proposal;
(b)
the person or persons making such Acquisition Proposal was not restricted from making such Acquisition Proposal pursuant to an existing confidentiality, standstill, non-disclosure, use, business purpose or similar restriction with such Party or its Subsidiaries;
(c)
such Party has been, and continues to be, in compliance with its obligations under the non-solicitation provisions of the Arrangement Agreement in all material respects;
(d)
prior to providing any such copies, access, or disclosure, such Party enters into a confidentiality and standstill agreement with the person or persons making such Acquisition Proposal substantially in the same form as the Confidentiality Agreement and which will not contain an exclusivity provision or other term which would restrict in any manner such Party’s ability to consummate the transactions hereunder or to comply with termination of the Arrangement Agreement its disclosure obligations to the other Party hereunder and any such copies, access or disclosure provided to the person or persons making such Acquisition Proposal shall have already been (or will simultaneously be) provided to the other Party; and
(e)
such Party promptly provides the other Party with: (i) written notice stating such Party’s intention to participate in such discussions or negotiations and to provide such copies, access or disclosure; and (ii) prior to providing any such copies, access or disclosure, a true, complete and final executed copy of the confidentiality and standstill agreement, permitted pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement.
Right to Match
If a Party receives an Acquisition Proposal that constitutes a Superior Proposal (the “Receiving Party”) prior to, in the case of Aphria being the Receiving Party, the approval of the Aphria Resolution by the Aphria Shareholders, and in the case of Tilray being the Receiving Party, the approval of the Tilray Resolutions by the Tilray Stockholders, the Receiving Party may, subject to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, if and only if:
(a)
the person or persons making such Superior Proposal was not restricted from making such Superior Proposal pursuant to an existing confidentiality, standstill, non-disclosure, use, business purposes or similar restriction with the Receiving Party or its Subsidiaries;
(b)
the Receiving Party has delivered to the other Party a written notice of the determination of the Receiving Party’s board of directors that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and of the intention of the Receiving Party’s board of directors to enter into such definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, together with a written notice from the Receiving Party’s board of directors regarding the value (or range of values) in financial terms that the board of directors, in consultation with its financial advisors, has determined should be ascribed to any non-cash consideration offered under such Superior Proposal (the “Superior Proposal Notice”);
126

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(c)
the Receiving Party has provided the other Party a copy of the proposed definitive agreement for the Superior Proposal and all supporting materials, including any financing documents supplied to a Receiving Party in connection therewith;
(d)
at least five Business Days (the “Matching Period”) have elapsed from the date that is the later of the date on which the other Party received the Superior Proposal Notice and the date on which such other Party received a copy of the definitive agreement and all supporting materials;
(e)
during any Matching Period, such other Party has had the opportunity to offer to amend the Arrangement Agreement and the Arrangement in order for such Acquisition Proposal to cease to be a Superior Proposal;
(f)
after the Matching Period, the Receiving Party’s board of directors has determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors, that such Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal (if applicable, compared to the terms of the Arrangement as proposed to be amended by the other Party under the Arrangement Agreement) and that the failure by the board of directors to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties; and
(g)
prior to or concurrently with entering into such definitive agreement the Receiving Party terminates the Arrangement Agreement pursuant to the termination provisions of the Arrangement Agreement, and pays the Tilray Termination Amount or the Aphria Termination Amount, as applicable.
During the Matching Period, or such longer period as the Receiving Party may approve in writing for such purpose: (a) the Receiving Party’s board of directors shall review any offer made by the other Party pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement to amend the terms of the Arrangement Agreement and the Arrangement in good faith in order to determine whether such proposal would, upon acceptance, result in the Acquisition Proposal previously constituting a Superior Proposal ceasing to be a Superior Proposal; and (b) the Receiving Party shall negotiate, and cause its Representatives to negotiate, in good faith with the other Party to make such amendments to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement and the Arrangement as would enable the other Party to proceed with the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement on such amended terms. If the Receiving Party’s board of directors determines that such Acquisition Proposal would cease to be a Superior Proposal, the Receiving Party shall promptly so advise the other Party and the Parties shall amend the Arrangement Agreement to reflect such offer made by the other Party, and shall take and cause to be taken all such actions as are necessary to give effect to the foregoing.
Each successive amendment or modification to any Acquisition Proposal that results in an increase in, or modification of, the consideration (or value of such consideration) to be received by the Receiving Party or its shareholders or other material terms or conditions thereof shall constitute a new Acquisition Proposal for the purposes of the Arrangement Agreement, and the other Party will be afforded a new five Business Day Matching Period from the later of the date on which such other Party received the Superior Proposal Notice and the date on which such other Party received all of the materials with respect to the new Superior Proposal from the Receiving Party.
The Receiving Party’s board of directors shall promptly reaffirm the Aphria Board Recommendation or the Tilray Board Recommendation, as the case may be, by press release after any Acquisition Proposal which is not determined to be a Superior Proposal is publicly announced or the Receiving Party’s board of directors determines that a proposed amendment to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement by the other Party pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement would result in an Acquisition Proposal no longer being a Superior Proposal. The Receiving Party shall provide the other Party and its outside legal counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review the form and content of any such press release and shall make all reasonable amendments to such press release as requested by the other Party and its counsel.
If the Receiving Party provides a Superior Proposal Notice to the other Party on a date that is less than 10 Business Days before the Aphria Meeting or the Tilray Meeting, as the case may be, the other Party will be entitled to require the Receiving Party to proceed with or adjourn or postpone such Aphria Meeting or Tilray Meeting, as the case may be, in accordance with the terms of the Arrangement Agreement to a date specified by the other Party that is not more than 10 Business Days after the scheduled date of the Aphria Meeting or the Tilray Meeting, as the case may be, provided that in no event shall such adjourned or postponed meeting be held on a date that is less than five Business Days prior to the Outside Date.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

CERTAIN CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The following is, as of the date hereof, a summary of the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations under the Tax Act in respect of the Arrangement that are generally applicable to a beneficial owner of Aphria Shares who at all relevant times and for purposes of the Tax Act: (a) deals at arm’s length with Aphria and Tilray; (b) is not and will not be affiliated with Aphria or Tilray; and (c) holds Aphria Shares and will hold Tilray Shares received pursuant to the Arrangement as capital property (each such owner in this section, a “Holder”).
The Aphria Shares and Tilray Shares generally will be considered capital property to a Holder for purposes of the Tax Act unless the Holder holds such shares in the course of carrying on a business of buying and selling securities or the Holder has acquired or holds such shares in a transaction or transactions considered to be an adventure or concern in the nature of trade.
This summary is not applicable to a holder of Aphria Options, Aphria RSUs, Aphria DSUs, Aphria Warrants, Convertible Senior Notes or other conversion or exchange rights to acquire Aphria Shares, and the tax considerations relevant to such holders are not discussed herein. Any such Persons referenced above should consult their own tax advisor with respect to the tax consequences of the Arrangement.
In addition, this summary is not applicable to a Holder: (a) that is a “financial institution” (as defined in the Tax Act for the purposes of the “mark-to-market rules”); (b) that is a “specified financial institution” (as defined in the Tax Act); (c) an interest in which is a “tax shelter investment” (as defined in the Tax Act); (d) that reports its “Canadian tax results” (as defined in the Tax Act) in a currency other than Canadian currency; (e) with respect to whom Tilray is or will be a “foreign affiliate” within the meaning of the Tax Act; (f) who acquired Aphria Shares under the Aphria Omnibus Incentive Plan or other equity based employment compensation arrangement; or (g) that has entered into or will enter into a “synthetic disposition agreement”, or a “derivative forward agreement”, as defined in the Tax Act with respect to Aphria Shares or Tilray Shares. Such Holders should consult their own tax advisors.
This summary is based on the current provisions of the Tax Act in force as of the date hereof and an understanding of the published administrative policies and assessing practices of the Canada Revenue Agency (“CRA”) publicly available prior to the date hereof. This summary also takes into account all specific proposals to amend the Tax Act that have been publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof (the “Proposed Amendments”) and assumes that the Proposed Amendments will be enacted in the form proposed. No assurance can be given that the Proposed Amendments will be enacted in the form proposed, or at all. Except for the Proposed Amendments, this summary does not otherwise take into account or anticipate any other changes in Law, whether by judicial, governmental or legislative decision or action or changes in the administrative policies or assessing practices of the CRA, nor does it take into account provincial, territorial or foreign tax legislation or considerations, which may differ from the Canadian federal income tax considerations discussed below.
This summary is of a general nature only and is not exhaustive of all possible Canadian federal income tax considerations. This summary is not, and should not be construed as, legal, business or tax advice to any particular Holder and no representation with respect to the tax consequences to any particular Holder is made. Accordingly, all Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the Canadian federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement applicable to their particular circumstances, and any other consequences to them of such transactions under Canadian federal, provincial, local and foreign tax Laws.
Currency Conversion
Subject to certain exceptions that are not discussed herein, for the purposes of the Tax Act, all amounts relating to the acquisition, holding or disposition of securities (including dividends, adjusted cost base and proceeds of disposition) must be expressed in Canadian dollars, generally based on the Bank of Canada exchange rate on the date such amounts arise or such other relevant rate of exchange required under the Tax Act.
Holders Resident in Canada
This portion of the summary is generally applicable to a Holder who, at all relevant times, for purposes of the application of the Tax Act and any applicable income tax treaty: (i) is, or is deemed to be, resident in Canada; and (ii) is not exempt from tax under Part I of the Tax Act (a “Resident Holder”).
Additional considerations, not discussed herein, may be applicable to a Resident Holder that is a corporation whose investment in a non-resident corporation as part of a transaction or event or series of transactions or events that
138

TABLE OF CONTENTS

includes the acquisition of Tilray Shares is subject to the foreign affiliate dumping rules in section 212.3 of the Tax Act. Such Resident Holders should consult their tax advisors with respect to the consequences of acquiring Tilray Shares.
Certain Resident Holders whose Aphria Shares might not otherwise qualify as capital property may, in certain circumstances, be eligible to make an irrevocable election in accordance with subsection 39(4) of the Tax Act to have their Aphria Shares (but not Tilray Shares), and every other “Canadian security” (as defined in the Tax Act) owned by such Resident Holder in the taxation year in which the election is made and in all subsequent taxation years, be deemed to be capital property. Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors as to whether they hold or will hold their Aphria Shares and Tilray Shares as capital property and whether such election can or should be made in respect of their Aphria Shares.
Disposition of Aphria Shares Pursuant to the Arrangement
A Resident Holder (other than a Resident Dissenter) who exchanges Aphria Shares for Tilray Shares under the Arrangement will be considered to have disposed of each Aphria Share for proceeds of disposition equal to the aggregate fair market value at the Effective Time of the Consideration Shares received by the Resident Holder. As a result, the Resident Holder will generally realize a capital gain (or a capital loss) to the extent that such proceeds of disposition exceed (or are less than) the aggregate of the Resident Holder’s adjusted cost base of the Aphria Share immediately before the time of disposition and any reasonable costs of disposition. For a description of the tax treatment of capital gains and capital losses see “Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses” below.
The cost to a Resident Holder of each Consideration Share acquired under the Arrangement will be equal to the fair market value of such Consideration Share at the time of acquisition. For the purpose of determining the adjusted cost base of such Consideration Share to a Resident Holder, the cost of the newly acquired Consideration Share will be averaged with the adjusted cost base of all Tilray Shares owned by the Resident Holder as capital property immediately before that acquisition.
Dividends on Tilray Shares
A Resident Holder will be required to include in computing income for a taxation year the amount of dividends, if any, received or deemed to be received in respect of Tilray Shares, including amounts withheld for U.S. withholding tax, if any. For individuals (including a trust), such dividends will not be subject to the gross-up and dividend tax credit rules under the Tax Act normally applicable to taxable dividends received by an individual from a taxable Canadian corporation. A Resident Holder that is a corporation will generally not be entitled to deduct the amount of such dividends in computing its taxable income.
Subject to the detailed rules in the Tax Act, a Resident Holder may be entitled to a foreign tax credit or deduction for any U.S. withholding tax paid with respect to dividends received by the Resident Holder on the Tilray Shares. Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the availability of a foreign tax credit or deduction having regard to their own particular circumstances.
Disposition of Tilray Shares
A Resident Holder that disposes of, or is deemed to dispose of, a Tilray Share in a taxation year will realize a capital gain (or a capital loss) equal to the amount by which the proceeds of disposition of the Tilray Share exceeds (or is exceeded by) the aggregate of the Resident Holder’s adjusted cost base of such Tilray Share immediately before the disposition and any reasonable costs of disposition. For a description of the tax treatment of capital gains and capital losses see “Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses” below.
Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses
Generally, a Resident Holder will be required to include in computing income for a taxation year one-half of the amount of any capital gain (a “taxable capital gain”) realized in that year. A Resident Holder will generally be entitled to deduct one half of the amount of any capital loss (an “allowable capital loss”) realized in a taxation year from taxable capital gains realized by the Resident Holder in that taxation year (subject to and in accordance with rules contained in the Tax Act). Allowable capital losses in excess of taxable capital gains for a taxation year may be carried back to any of the three preceding taxation years or carried forward to any subsequent taxation year and deducted against net taxable capital gains realized in such years to the extent and under the circumstances specified by the Tax Act.
139

TABLE OF CONTENTS

A capital loss realized on the disposition of Aphria Shares by a Resident Holder that is a corporation may be reduced by the amount of dividends received or deemed to have been received by the corporation on such shares (or on a share for which such share is substituted or exchanged) to the extent and under the circumstances specified by the Tax Act. Similar rules may apply where shares are owned by a partnership or trust of which a corporation, trust or partnership is a member or beneficiary. Resident Holders to whom these rules may be relevant should consult their own advisors.
A capital gain realized by a Resident Holder who is an individual (including certain trusts) may give rise to liability for alternative minimum tax under the Tax Act.
Additional Refundable Tax on Canadian-Controlled Private Corporations
A Resident Holder that is a “Canadian-controlled private corporation” (as defined in the Tax Act) may be required to pay an additional tax (refundable in certain circumstances) on certain investment income, which includes taxable capital gains, dividends or deemed dividends not deductible in computing taxable income and interest.
Foreign Property Information Reporting
Generally, a Resident Holder that is a “specified Canadian entity” (as defined in the Tax Act) for a taxation year or a fiscal period and whose total “cost amount” of “specified foreign property” (as such terms are defined in the Tax Act), including Tilray Shares, at any time in the year or fiscal period exceeds C$100,000 will be required to file an information return with the CRA for the year or period disclosing prescribed information including the cost amount, any dividends received in the year, and any gains or losses realized in the year in respect of such property. Subject to certain exceptions, a Resident Holder generally will be a specified Canadian entity. Tilray Shares will be “specified foreign property” of a Resident Holder for these purposes. Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding compliance with these reporting requirements.
Offshore Investment Fund Property Rules
The Tax Act contains rules which may require a taxpayer to include in income in each taxation year an amount in respect of the holding of an “offshore investment fund property”. These rules could apply to a Resident Holder in respect of a Tilray Share if two conditions are both satisfied.
The first condition for such rules to apply is that the value of the Tilray Share may reasonably be considered to be derived, directly or indirectly, primarily from portfolio investments in: (i) shares of one or more corporations, (ii) indebtedness or annuities, (iii) interests in one or more corporations, trusts, partnerships, organizations, funds or entities, (iv) commodities, (v) real estate, (vi) Canadian or foreign resource properties, (vii) currency of a country other than Canada, (viii) rights or options to acquire or dispose of any of the foregoing, or (ix) any combination of the foregoing (“Investment Assets”).
The second condition for such rules to apply to a Resident Holder is that it must be reasonable to conclude that one of the main reasons for the Resident Holder acquiring or holding a Tilray Share was to derive a benefit from portfolio investments in Investment Assets in such a manner that the taxes, if any, on the income, profits and gains from such Investment Assets for any particular year are significantly less than the tax that would have been applicable under Part I of the Tax Act had the income, profits and gains been earned directly by the Resident Holder.
If applicable, these rules would generally require a Holder to include in income for each taxation year in which the Holder owns a Tilray Share (i) an imputed return for the taxation year computed on a monthly basis and determined by multiplying the Resident Holder’s “designated cost” (as defined in the Tax Act) of such share at the end of the month by 1/12th of the applicable prescribed rate for the period that includes such month, less (ii) the Resident Holder’s income for the year (other than a capital gain) from such share determined without reference to these rules. Any amount required to be included in computing a Resident Holder’s income under these provisions will be added to the adjusted cost base to the Resident Holder of their Tilray Share, as the case may be.
The application of these rules depends, in part, on the reasons for a Resident Holder acquiring or holding Tilray Shares. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the application and consequences of these rules, in their own particular circumstances.
Dissenting Resident Holders
A Resident Holder who validly exercises Dissent Rights and is entitled to be paid fair value for their Dissent Shares in accordance with the Arrangement (a “Resident Dissenter”) will be deemed to transfer such Dissent Shares to Aphria in consideration for a cash payment equal to fair value from Aphria.
140

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, a Resident Holder who validly exercises Dissent Rights and is ultimately determined not to be entitled, for any reason, to be paid fair value for Dissent Shares shall be deemed to have participated in the Arrangement on the same basis as any non-dissenting Aphria Shareholder. In general, the tax consequences as described above under “Holders Resident in Canada – Disposition of Aphria Shares Pursuant to the Arrangement” should apply to such Resident Holder.
Although the matter is not free from doubt, the Resident Dissenter will generally be deemed to have received a dividend on the Aphria Shares equal to the amount, if any, by which the payment by Aphria in the amount of the fair value of the Aphria Shares exceeds the paid-up capital of such shares for purposes of the Tax Act immediately before the Effective Time.
In the case of a Resident Dissenter that is an individual, the amount of any such deemed dividend will be subject to the normal dividend gross-up and tax credit rules generally applicable to dividends received from a corporation resident in Canada. Taxable dividends received by a Resident Holder that is an individual or a trust may increase such Resident Holder’s liability for alternative minimum tax.
In the case of a Resident Dissenter that is a corporation, the amount of any such deemed dividend will generally be included in the Resident Holder’s income for the taxation year in which such dividend is deemed to be received and will generally be deductible in computing the Resident Dissenter’s taxable income. The amount of this deemed dividend could, in some circumstances, be treated as proceeds of disposition under subsection 55(2) of the Tax Act. “Private corporations” and “subject corporations” (as defined in the Tax Act) may be liable for additional refundable tax under Part IV of the Tax Act on any dividends received or deemed to be received on the Dissent Shares to the extent such dividends are deductible in computing the Resident Dissenter's taxable income for the taxation year.
In addition, the difference between the amount of such payment and the amount of any deemed dividend would be treated as proceeds of disposition of the Aphria Shares for the purposes of computing any capital gain or capital loss realized on the disposition of the Aphria Shares. For a general description of the tax treatment of capital gains and capital losses, see “Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses” above.
Any interest awarded to a Resident Dissenters by a court will be included in the Resident Dissenters’ income.
Resident Holders who are considering exercising Dissent Rights in connection with the Arrangement are urged to consult with their tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences to them of dissenting.
Eligibility for Investment
Provided the Tilray Shares are listed on a “designated stock exchange” within the meaning of the Tax Act (which currently includes the Nasdaq), Tilray Shares will be qualified investments under the Tax Act for a trust governed by an RRSP, a RRIF, an RESP, an RDSP or a TFSA, each as defined in the Tax Act (“Registered Plans”) and a deferred profit sharing plan.
Notwithstanding that Tilray Shares may be qualified investments for a Registered Plan, a holder, annuitant, or subscriber, as the case may be (each a “Plan Holder”), will be subject to a penalty tax on such shares if such shares are a “prohibited investment” (as defined in the Tax Act) for the Registered Plan. Tilray Shares will generally be a “prohibited investment” if the Plan Holder does not deal at arm’s length with Tilray for purposes of the Tax Act or has a “significant interest” (as defined in the Tax Act) in Tilray. However, the Tilray Shares will not be a prohibited investment if the Tilray Shares are “excluded property” within the meaning of the Tax Act for the Registered Plan.
Plan Holders are advised to consult their own tax advisors with respect to whether Tilray Shares are “prohibited investments” in their particular circumstances and the tax consequences of Tilray Shares being acquired or held by a Registered Plan.
Holders Not Resident in Canada
The following portion of the summary is generally applicable to a Holder who, at all relevant times, for purposes of the Tax Act and any applicable income tax treaty, is neither resident nor deemed to be resident in Canada, and does not use or hold, and is not deemed to use or hold, Aphria Shares in connection with a business carried on, or deemed to be carried on, in Canada (a “Non-Resident Holder”). This part of the summary is not applicable to a Non-Resident Holder that is an insurer carrying on an insurance business in Canada and elsewhere or an “authorized foreign bank” (as defined in the Tax Act) and any such Non-Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors.
141

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Disposition of Aphria Shares Pursuant to the Arrangement
A Non-Resident Holder who disposes of Aphria Shares under the Arrangement will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act on any capital gain realized unless the Aphria Shares are “taxable Canadian property” and are not “treaty-protected property” to the Non-Resident Holder.
Generally, an Aphria Share will not be taxable Canadian property of a Non-Resident Holder at a particular time provided that the share is listed on a “designated stock exchange” (which currently includes the Nasdaq) unless, at any time during the 60-month period immediately preceding the disposition: (a) one or any combination of (i) the Non-Resident Holder, (ii) any one or more other Persons with whom the Non-Resident Holder does not deal at arm’s length, or (iii) any partnership in which the Non-Resident Holder or a non-arm’s length Person holds a membership interest directly or indirectly through one or more partnerships, held 25% or more of the issued shares of any class or series in the capital of Aphria; and (b) more than 50% of the fair market value of the share was derived directly or indirectly from one or any combination of real or immovable property situated in Canada, “Canadian resource properties” or “timber resource properties” (both as defined in the Tax Act), and options in respect of, or interests in, or for civil law rights in, any such properties (whether or not such property exists).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in certain other circumstances an Aphria Share could be deemed to be taxable Canadian property to the Non-Resident Holder for the purposes of the Tax Act. Non-Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors in this regard.
Even if the Aphria Shares are taxable Canadian property to a Non-Resident Holder, a taxable capital gain resulting from the disposition of the Aphria Shares will not be included in computing the Non-Resident Holder’s taxable income earned in Canada for the purposes of the Tax Act if, at the time of the disposition, the Aphria Shares constitute “treaty-protected property” of the Non-Resident Holder for purposes of the Tax Act. Aphria Shares will generally be considered “treaty-protected property” of a Non-Resident Holder for purposes of the Tax Act at the time of the disposition if the gain from their disposition would, because of an applicable income tax treaty between Canada and the country in which the Non-Resident Holder is resident for purposes of such treaty and in respect of which the Non-Resident Holder is entitled to receive benefits thereunder, be exempt from tax under the Tax Act.
In the event that the Aphria Shares constitute taxable Canadian property and are not treaty-protected property to a particular Non-Resident Holder, the Non-Resident Holder will realize a capital gain (or capital loss) generally in the circumstances as described above under “Holders Resident in Canada – Disposition of Aphria Shares Pursuant to the Arrangement” and “Holders Resident in Canada – Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses”. Generally, a Non-Resident Holder who disposes of taxable Canadian property that is not treaty-protected property may have to file a Canadian income tax return for the year in which the disposition occurs, regardless of whether the Non-Resident Holder is liable for Canadian tax on any gain realized as a result.
Non-Resident Holders whose Aphria Shares are taxable Canadian property should consult their own tax advisors for advice having regard to their particular circumstances, including whether their Aphria Shares constitute treaty-protected property.
Dissenting Non-Resident Holders
A Non-Resident Holder that validly exercises Dissent Rights and is entitled to be paid fair value for its Dissent Shares in accordance with the Arrangement (a “Non-Resident Dissenter”) will be deemed to transfer such Dissent Shares to Aphria in consideration for a cash payment equal to fair value from Aphria.
Pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, a Non-Resident Holder who validly exercises Dissent Rights and is ultimately determined not to be entitled, for any reason, to be paid fair value for Dissent Shares shall be deemed to have participated in the Arrangement on the same basis as any non-dissenting Aphria Shareholder. In general, the tax consequences as described above under “Holders Not Resident in Canada – Disposition of Aphria Shares Pursuant to the Arrangement” should apply to such Non-Resident Holder.
Although the matter is not free from doubt, a Non-Resident Dissenter will generally be deemed to have received a dividend on the Aphria Shares equal to the amount, if any, by which the payment by Aphria in the amount of the fair value of the Aphria Shares exceeds the paid-up capital of such shares for purposes of the Tax Act. Any such deemed dividend will be subject to Canadian withholding tax at a rate of 25% of the gross amount of the dividend but may be reduced under an applicable tax treaty.
142

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In addition, a Non-Resident Dissenter will be considered to have disposed of the Aphria Shares for proceeds of disposition equal to the amount paid to such Non-Resident Dissenter, less any amount that is deemed to be a dividend received by the Non-Resident Dissenter, as described above. As discussed above under “Holders Not Resident in Canada – Disposition of Aphria Shares Pursuant to the Arrangement”, a Non-Resident Dissenter will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act on any capital gain realized on the disposition of Aphria Shares unless the Aphria Shares are “taxable Canadian property” for purposes of the Tax Act and are not “treaty-protected” property of the Non-Resident Dissenter (each as defined in the Tax Act) at the time of disposition.
Any interest paid or credited to a Non-Resident Dissenter in respect of the exercise of Dissent Rights will generally not be subject to Canadian withholding tax.
Non-Resident Holders who are considering exercising Dissent Rights in connection with the Arrangement are urged to consult with their tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences to them of dissenting.
Dividends on Tilray Shares
Dividends paid on Tilray Shares to a Non-Resident Holder will not be subject to Canadian withholding tax or other income tax under the Tax Act.
Dispositions of Tilray Shares
No tax will be payable under the Tax Act by a Non-Resident Holder of Tilray Shares on any capital gain realized on the future disposition or deemed disposition of Tilray Shares unless such Tilray Shares are or are deemed to be “taxable Canadian property”, as discussed above, to the Non-Resident Holder at the time of disposition or deemed disposition and do not constitute “treaty-protected property”, as defined in the Tax Act. See “Holders Not Resident in Canada – Disposition of Aphria Shares Pursuant to the Arrangement” above.
CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The following is a discussion of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences for holders of Aphria Shares who exchange their Aphria Shares for Tilray Shares. The effects of other U.S. federal tax laws, such as estate and gift tax laws, and any applicable state, local or non-U.S. tax laws are not discussed. This discussion is based on the Code, Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial decisions and published rulings and administrative pronouncements of the IRS, in each case in effect as of the date hereof. These authorities may change or be subject to differing interpretations. Any such change or differing interpretation may be applied retroactively in a manner that could adversely affect holders to which this section applies and could affect the accuracy of the statements herein. Neither Aphria nor Tilray has sought or intends to seek any rulings from the IRS or opinions of counsel regarding the matters discussed below. There can be no assurance that the IRS or a court will not take a position contrary to the tax consequences discussed below.
This discussion applies only to Aphria Shares held as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment). This discussion does not address all U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to your particular circumstances, including the impact of the Medicare contribution tax on net investment income. In addition, it does not address consequences relevant to holders subject to special rules, including, without limitation:
U.S. expatriates and former citizens or long-term residents of the United States;
persons subject to the alternative minimum tax;
persons holding Aphria Shares as part of a hedge, straddle or other risk reduction strategy or as part of a conversion transaction or other integrated transaction;
banks, insurance companies and other financial institutions;
brokers, dealers or traders in securities;
“controlled foreign corporations,” “passive foreign investment companies” and corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax;
partnerships or other entities or arrangements treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and investors therein);
143

TABLE OF CONTENTS

tax-exempt organizations or governmental organizations;
persons subject to special tax accounting rules as a result of any item of gross income with respect to Aphria Shares being taken into account in an applicable financial statement;
U.S. Holders (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;
regulated investment companies (“RICs”) or real estate investment trusts (“REITs”);
holders of 2016 Aphria Warrants, Aphria RSUs Aphria DSUs or Aphria Options, or persons who received Aphria Shares as compensation for services;
persons who own or are deemed to own 10% or more (by vote or value) of the stock of Aphria or Tilray;
tax-qualified retirement plans; and
“qualified foreign pension funds” as defined in Section 897(l)(2) of the Code and entities all of the interests of which are held by qualified foreign pension funds.
In addition, this discussion does not address the U.S. federal income tax consequences to persons who actually or constructively own both Aphria Shares and shares of Tilray stock immediately prior to the Arrangement. The application and the consequences of the rules described below to persons who own both Aphria Shares and shares of Tilray stock immediately prior to the Arrangement may differ from the application and the consequences of such rules to persons who own solely Aphria Shares or shares of Tilray stock immediately prior to the Arrangement. Persons who own Aphria Shares and shares of Tilray stock immediately prior to the Arrangement should consult their tax advisors regarding the application and the consequences of the rules below to them in light of their particular circumstances.
If a partnership (or other pass-through entity) for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds Aphria Shares, the tax treatment of your partners (or other owners) of such partnership or other pass-through entity will generally depend on the status of the owners, the activities of the entity and certain determinations made at the owner level. Accordingly, partnerships (or other pass-through entities) and the partners (or other owners) in such partnerships (or such other pass-through entities) should consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences to them relating to the matters discussed below.
For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of Aphria Shares who is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:
an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States,
a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia,
an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source, or
an entity treated as a trust that (1) is subject to the primary supervision of a U.S. court and the control of one or more “United States persons” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) or (2) was in existence on August 20, 1996 and has a valid election in effect to be treated as a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Also, for purposes of this discussion, a “Non-U.S. Holder” is any beneficial owner of Aphria Shares who is neither a U.S. Holder nor an entity classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
THIS DISCUSSION IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY AND IS NOT TAX ADVICE. INVESTORS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE APPLICATION OF THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS AS WELL AS ANY TAX CONSEQUENCES ARISING UNDER THE U.S. FEDERAL ESTATE OR GIFT TAX LAWS OR UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCAL OR NON-U.S. TAXING JURISDICTION OR UNDER ANY APPLICABLE INCOME TAX TREATY.
Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Arrangement to U.S. Holders
Aphria and Tilray expect the Arrangement to qualify as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code (a “Reorganization”). However, no opinion of counsel or ruling from the IRS has been obtained or will be obtained in this regard. If the Arrangement does not qualify as a Reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the
144

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Code (including if the IRS successfully challenges the qualification of the Arrangement as such), then each U.S. Holder generally would be treated as exchanging such holder’s Aphria Shares for Tilray Shares in a fully taxable transaction. The remainder of this discussion assumes that the Arrangement will be treated as a Reorganization.
Exchange of Aphria Shares for Tilray Shares.
A U.S. Holder should not recognize gain or loss as a result of the Arrangement. Such a holder’s aggregate tax basis in Tilray Shares received in the Arrangement, should equal the aggregate tax basis of the holder’s Aphria Shares surrendered in the Arrangement. Such holder’s holding period for Tilray Shares received in the Arrangement should include the holder’s holding period for the Aphria Shares surrendered in the Arrangement.
A U.S. Holder who acquired different blocks of Aphria Shares with different holding periods and tax bases must generally apply the foregoing rules separately to each identifiable block of Aphria Shares. Any such holder should consult its tax advisor with regard to identifying the bases or holding periods of the particular Tilray Shares received in the Arrangement.
Dissenting Shareholders Exercising Appraisal Rights.
A U.S. Holder who exercises appraisal rights and, as a result, receives cash in exchange for such holder’s Aphria Shares generally will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount of cash received by such holder and such holder’s tax basis in the Aphria Shares exchanged therefor. Any capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the holding period of the holder’s Aphria Shares exceeds one year at the Effective Time. Long-term capital gain of a U.S. Holder who is an individual generally is subject to reduced maximum tax rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations under the Code.
Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules
If Aphria were characterized as a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) for any taxable year during a U.S. Holder’s holding period for its Aphria Shares or 2016 Aphria Warrants, certain potentially adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences may apply to such U.S. Holder. A non-U.S. corporation, such as Aphria, is classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes in any taxable year in which, after applying relevant look-through rules with respect to the income and assets of its Subsidiaries, either: (i) 50% or more of the value of the corporation’s assets either produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income, based on the quarterly average of the fair market value of such assets; or (ii) at least 75% of the corporation’s gross income is passive income. Passive income includes, for example, dividends, interest, rents and royalties, certain gains from the sale of stock and securities, and certain gains from commodities transactions.
Aphria does not believe that it was a PFIC for its last taxable year and, based on current plans and financial expectations, does not expect to be a PFIC for its taxable year during which the Arrangement is completed. The determination of whether any corporation was, or will be, a PFIC for a taxable year depends, in part, on the application of complex U.S. federal income tax rules, which are subject to differing interpretations. In addition, because the determination of whether a corporation will be a PFIC for any taxable year can only be made after the close of such taxable year, whether Aphria will be a PFIC for the taxable year during which the Arrangement is completed will not be known as of the Effective Time. There can be no assurance that the IRS will not challenge any determination made by Aphria concerning its PFIC status. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the potential application of the PFIC rules to their exchange of Aphria Shares pursuant to the Arrangement.
U.S. Tax Considerations Relevant to the Ownership and Disposition of Tilray Shares After the Arrangement
Dividends. A distribution of cash or property to a U.S. Holder with respect to its Tilray Shares generally will be treated as a dividend to the extent paid out of Tilray’s current or accumulated earnings and profits and will be includible in income by the U.S. Holder and taxable as ordinary income when received. If such a distribution exceeds Tilray’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, the excess will be first treated as a tax-free return of the U.S. Holder’s investment, up to the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in its Tilray Shares, and thereafter as a capital gain. Dividends received by a non-corporate U.S. Holder will be eligible to be taxed at reduced rates if the U.S. Holder meets certain holding period and other applicable requirements. Dividends received by a corporate U.S. Holder will be eligible for the dividends-received deduction if the U.S. Holder meets certain holding period and other applicable requirements.
Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Tilray Shares
For U.S. federal income tax purposes, gain or loss a U.S. Holder realizes on the sale or other disposition of its Tilray Shares will be capital gain or loss, and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period (as
145

TABLE OF CONTENTS

described under the section titled “Exchange of Aphria Shares for Tilray Shares” above) in the Tilray Shares is greater than one year. The amount of the U.S. Holder’s gain or loss will be equal to the difference between the amount realized on the disposition and the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Tilray Shares (as described under the section titled “Exchange of Aphria Shares for Tilray Shares” above) that were sold. Long-term capital gain of a U.S. Holder who is an individual generally is subject to reduced maximum tax rates. The deductibility of capital losses may be subject to limitations.
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding
A U.S. Holder may be subject to information reporting and backup withholding for U.S. federal income tax purposes on cash received in connection with the Arrangement. The current backup withholding rate is 24%. Backup withholding will not apply, however, to a U.S. Holder who (i) furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and certifies the U.S. Holder is not subject to backup withholding on IRS Form W-9 or a substantially similar form or (ii) certifies the U.S. Holder is otherwise exempt from backup withholding. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding their qualification for an exemption from backup withholding and the procedures for obtaining such an exemption. If a U.S. Holder does not provide a correct taxpayer identification number on IRS Form W-9 or other proper certification, the U.S. Holder may be subject to penalties imposed by the IRS. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be refunded or allowed as a credit against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS. In the event of backup withholding, consult with your tax advisor to determine if you are entitled to any tax credit, tax refund or other tax benefit as a result of such backup withholding.
A U.S. Holder that receives Tilray Shares in the Arrangement that is considered a “significant holder,” will be required (1) to file a statement with its U.S. federal income tax return providing certain facts pertinent to the Arrangement, including its tax basis in, and the fair market value of, the Aphria Shares that such U.S. Holder surrendered, and (2) to retain permanent records of these facts relating to the Arrangement. A “significant holder” is a holder that, immediately before the Arrangement, (a) owned at least 5.0% (by vote or value) of the outstanding stock of Aphria, or (b) owned securities of Aphria with a tax basis of $1.0 million or more.
Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Arrangement to Non-U.S. Holders
A Non-U.S. Holder should not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain recognized as a result of the Arrangement unless the Arrangement fails to qualify as a Reorganization or such Non U.S. Holder exercises appraisal rights and:
any gain recognized is effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, the Non-U.S. Holder maintains a permanent establishment in the United States to which such gain is attributable); or
the Non-U.S. Holder is a non-resident alien individual present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year of the Arrangement and certain other requirements are met.
Gain described in the first bullet point above generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis at the regular graduated rates. A Non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation also may be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on such effectively connected gain, as adjusted for certain items.
Gain described in the second bullet point above will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty), which may be offset by U.S. source capital losses of the Non-U.S. Holder (even though the individual is not considered a resident of the United States) provided that the Non-U.S. Holder has timely filed U.S. federal income tax returns with respect to such losses.
U.S. Tax Considerations Relevant to the Ownership and Disposition of Tilray Shares After the Arrangement
Dividends. A distribution of cash or property to a Non-U.S. Holder with respect to its Tilray Shares generally will be treated as a dividend to the extent paid out of Tilray’s current or accumulated earnings and profits. If such a distribution exceeds Tilray’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, the excess will be first treated as a tax-free return of the Non-U.S. Holder’s investment, up to the Non-U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Tilray Shares, and thereafter as a capital gain subject to the tax treatment described above in “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Arrangement to Non-U.S. Holders” with respect to the Arrangement.
146

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder generally will be subject to withholding of U.S. federal income tax at a 30% rate, or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable tax treaty. Even if a Non-U.S. Holder is eligible for a lower treaty rate, a withholding agent generally will be required to withhold at a 30% rate (rather than the lower treaty rate) unless the Non-U.S. Holder has furnished a valid IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, or other documentary evidence establishing the Non-U.S. Holder’s entitlement to the lower treaty rate with respect to such dividend payments, and the withholding agent does not have actual knowledge or reason to know to the contrary.
However, if the dividends are effectively connected with the conduct by a Non-U.S. Holder of a trade or business within the United States, then the dividends will be exempt from the withholding tax described above and instead will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis.
Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Tilray Shares.
A Non-U.S. Holder that disposes of its Tilray Shares in a taxable disposition generally will subject to the tax treatment described above in “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Arrangement to Non-U.S. Holders” if the Arrangement were to fail to qualify as a Reorganization.
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding
A Non-U.S. Holder may be subject to information reporting and backup withholding for U.S. federal income tax purposes on cash received in connection with the Arrangement. Backup withholding will not apply, however, if the applicable withholding agent does not have actual knowledge or reason to know the holder is a United States person and the Non-U.S. Holder either certifies its non-U.S. status, such as by furnishing a valid IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or W-8ECI, or otherwise establishes an exemption.
Foreign Account Tax Compliance Withholding
Sections 1471 to 1474 of the Code (such sections commonly referred to as “FATCA”) impose withholding of 30% on payments of dividends (including constructive dividends received pursuant to a redemption of stock) to stockholders that fail to meet prescribed information reporting or certification requirements. In general, no such withholding will be required with respect to a U.S. Holder or an individual Non-U.S. Holder that timely provides the certifications required on a valid IRS Form W-9 or W-8BEN, respectively. Holders potentially subject to withholding include “foreign financial institutions” (which is broadly defined for this purpose and in general includes investment vehicles) and “non-financial foreign entities” unless various U.S. information reporting and due diligence requirements (generally relating to ownership by U.S. persons of interest in or accounts with those entities) have been satisfied, or an exemption applies (typically certified to by the delivery of a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN-E). If FATCA withholding is imposed, a beneficial owner that is not a foreign financial institution or a non-financial foreign entity generally will be entitled to a refund of any amounts withheld by filing a U.S. federal income tax return (which may entail significant administrative burden). Foreign financial institutions and non-financial foreign entities located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the United States governing FATCA may be subject to different rules. Non-U.S. Holders who plan to exercise appraisal rights should consult their tax advisors regarding the effects of FATCA on payments made for Aphria Shares.

Description of Tilray Shares
The following summary description of the Tilray Shares is based on the provisions of the Current Tilray Charter and Current Tilray Bylaws and the applicable provisions of the Delaware Law. This information may not be complete in all respects and is qualified entirely by reference to the provisions of the Current Tilray Charter, the Current Tilray Bylaws and Delaware Law.

On October 1, 2020, Tilray filed a certificate with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware effecting the retirement and cancellation of the shares of Class 1 common stock that were issued but not outstanding following the conversion (the “Certificate of Retirement”). Effective upon the filing of the Certificate of Retirement, the obsolete references to Class 1 common stock in the Current Tilray Charter were eliminated. The reissuance of all shares of Class 1 common stock is prohibited.
The rights and restrictions to which the Tilray Shares are prescribed in the Current Tilray Charter. The Current Tilray Charter entitles the Tilray Board, without stockholder approval, to determine the terms of the undesignated shares of preferred stock issued by Tilray.

This right is in addition to any voting rights that may be provided for a series of preferred stock in the certificate of incorporation or applicable certificate of designation.
Delaware Law and Certain Provisions of the Current Tilray Charter, Current Tilray Bylaws and Statutory Provisions
Tilray is a Delaware corporation and is subject to Section 203 of the Delaware Law. In general, Section 203 prevents an “interested stockholder” (defined generally as a person owning 15% or more of a corporation’s outstanding voting stock) from engaging in a “business combination” (as defined by Delaware Law) with a Delaware corporation for three years following the time such person became an interested stockholder, subject to certain exceptions. For more information see “Comparison of Rights of Aphria Shareholders and Tilray Stockholders ” in Appendix “J” to this Circular.
Directors Liability and Indemnification
Current Delaware Law also restricts the ability to limit the liability of a director on certain matters. For a description of the restrictions on the ability to limit the liability of a director under current Delaware Law, see “Comparison of Rights of Aphria Shareholders and Tilray Stockholders ” in Appendix “J” to this Circular.
Advance Notice Provisions for Tilray Stockholder Nominations and Tilray Stockholder Proposals
For a description of the restrictions on the shareholder notice procedure, see “Comparison of Rights of Aphria Shareholders and Tilray Stockholders” in Appendix “J” to this Circular.
Certain Effects of Authorized but Unissued Stock
As of March 12, 2021, there were 311,067,147 Tilray Shares authorized but unissued, no Tilray Shares issued but held in treasury, and no shares of preferred stock authorized but unissued, for future issuance without additional shareholder approval. These additional shares may be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future offerings to raise additional capital or to facilitate corporate acquisitions.
The issuance of Tilray Preferred Stock could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in Tilray’s control. The issuance of Tilray Preferred Stock could decrease the amount of earnings and assets available for distribution to the Tilray Stockholders or could adversely affect the rights and powers, including voting rights, of the Tilray Stockholders. In certain circumstances, such issuance could have the effect of decreasing the market price of the Tilray Shares.
One of the effects of the existence of unissued and unreserved common stock or Tilray Preferred Stock may be to enable the Tilray Board to issue shares to persons friendly to current management, which could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of Tilray by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, and thereby protect the continuity of management. Such additional shares also could be used to dilute the stock ownership of persons seeking to obtain control of Tilray.

Each Party shall advise its Representatives of the prohibitions set out in this Article 5 and any violation of the restrictions set forth in this Article 5 by a Party’s Representatives is deemed to be a breach of this Article 5 by such Party.

If a Party or any of its Representatives receives an Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes or could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal after the date of this Agreement, or any request for copies of, access to, or disclosure of, confidential information relating to such Party or any Subsidiary in connection with such an Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, proposal or offer, such Party shall as soon as practicable and in any event within 24 hours of the receipt thereof notify the other Party (at first orally and then in writing) of such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, proposal, offer or request. Such notice shall include a description of the material terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, proposal, offer or request and the identity of all persons making the Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, proposal, offer or request and such Party shall provide the other Party with unredacted copies of all written documents, correspondence or other material received in respect of, from or on behalf of any such person or any other information reasonably necessary to keep the other Party informed in all material respects of the Acquisition Proposal. The Party receiving the Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, proposal, offer or request shall keep the other Party informed on a current basis of the status of material or substantive developments and (to the extent such Party is permitted by Section 5.3 to enter into discussions or negotiations), the status of discussions and negotiations with respect to any such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, proposal, offer or request or change thereof and shall provide the other Party with copies of all material or substantive correspondence if in writing or electronic form, and if not in writing or electronic form, a description of the material terms of such correspondence sent or communicated to such Party by or on behalf of any person making any such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, proposal, offer or request or change thereof.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, if at any time following the date of this Agreement and prior to, in the case of Tilray, the approval of the Tilray Resolutions by the Tilray Shareholders, and, in the case of Aphria, the approval of the Arrangement Resolution by the Aphria Shareholders, a Party receives an Acquisition Proposal that did not result from a breach of this Article 5 (it being understood that a Party will not be in breach of this Article 5 if such Party or its Representatives contact the Person who has made an Acquisition Proposal for the sole purpose of clarifying the terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal), such Party and its Representatives may engage in or participate in discussions or negotiations regarding such Acquisition Proposal, and may provide copies of, access to or disclosure of information, properties, facilities, books or records of such Party or its Subsidiaries to the person or persons making such Acquisition Proposal, if and only if:
(a)
the board of directors of such Party first determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and its outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or could reasonably be expected to constitute or lead to a Superior Proposal;
A-33

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(b)
the person or persons making such Acquisition Proposal was not restricted from making such Acquisition Proposal pursuant to an existing confidentiality, standstill, non-disclosure, use, business purpose or similar restriction with such Party or its Subsidiaries;
(c)
such Party has been, and continues to be, in compliance with its obligations under this Article 5 in all material respects;
(d)
prior to providing any such copies, access, or disclosure, such Party enters into a confidentiality and standstill agreement with the person or persons making such Acquisition Proposal substantially in the same form as the Confidentiality Agreement and which will not contain an exclusivity provision or other term which would restrict in any manner such Party’s ability to consummate the transactions hereunder or to comply with its disclosure obligations to the other Party hereunder and any such copies, access or disclosure provided to the person or persons making such Acquisition Proposal shall have already been (or will simultaneously be) provided to the other Party; and
(e)
such Party promptly provides the other Party with:
(i)
written notice stating such Party’s intention to participate in such discussions or negotiations and to provide such copies, access or disclosure; and
(ii)
prior to providing any such copies, access or disclosure, a true, complete and final executed copy of the confidentiality and standstill agreement referred to in Section 5.3(1)(d).
(2)
Nothing contained in this Agreement (but, for certainty, subject to Section 7.2) shall prevent a Party or its board of directors from complying with a court order or Section 2.17 of National Instrument 62-104 – Takeover Bids and Issuer Bids and similar provisions under Securities Laws relating to the provision of a directors’ circular in respect of an Acquisition Proposal; provided that the Party so complying shall provide the other Party with a reasonable opportunity to review the form and content of such circular or other response before it is sent by the Party so complying.
Section 5.4 Right to Match
(1)
If a Party receives an Acquisition Proposal that constitutes a Superior Proposal (the “Receiving Party”) prior to, in the case of Aphria being the Receiving Party, the approval of the Arrangement Resolution by the Aphria Shareholders, and in the case of Tilray being the Receiving Party, the approval of the Tilray Resolutions by the Tilray Shareholders, the Receiving Party may, subject to compliance with Section 7.2, enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, if and only if:
(a)
the person or persons making such Superior Proposal was not restricted from making such Superior Proposal pursuant to an existing confidentiality, standstill, non-disclosure, use, business purposes or similar restriction with the Receiving Party or its Subsidiaries;
(b)
the Receiving Party has delivered to the other Party a written notice of the determination of the Receiving Party’s board of directors that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and of the intention of the Receiving Party’s board of directors to enter into such definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, together with a written notice from the Receiving Party’s board of directors regarding the value (or range of values) in financial terms that the board of directors, in consultation with its financial advisors, has determined should be ascribed to any non-cash consideration offered under such Superior Proposal (the “Superior Proposal Notice”);
(c)
the Receiving Party has provided the other Party a copy of the proposed definitive agreement for the Superior Proposal and all supporting materials, including any financing documents supplied to a Receiving Party in connection therewith;
(d)
at least five Business Days (the “Matching Period”) have elapsed from the date that is the later of the date on which the other Party received the Superior Proposal Notice and the date on which such other Party received all of the materials set forth in Section 5.4(1)(c);
(e)
during any Matching Period, such other Party has had the opportunity (but not the obligation), in accordance with Section 5.4(2), to offer to amend this Agreement and the Arrangement in order for such Acquisition Proposal to cease to be a Superior Proposal;
A-34

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(f)
after the Matching Period, the Receiving Party’s board of directors has determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors, that such Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal (if applicable, compared to the terms of the Arrangement as proposed to be amended by the other Party under Section 5.4(2)) and that the failure by the board of directors to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties; and
(g)
prior to or concurrently with entering into such definitive agreement the Receiving Party terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.2, and pays the Tilray Termination Amount or the Aphria Termination Amount, as applicable, pursuant to Section 7.3.
(2)
During the Matching Period, or such longer period as the Receiving Party may approve in writing for such purpose: (a) the Receiving Party’s board of directors shall review any offer made by the other Party under Section 5.4(1)(e) to amend the terms of this Agreement and the Arrangement in good faith in order to determine whether such proposal would, upon acceptance, result in the Acquisition Proposal previously constituting a Superior Proposal ceasing to be a Superior Proposal; and (b) the Receiving Party shall negotiate, and cause its Representatives to negotiate, in good faith with the other Party to make such amendments to the terms of this Agreement and the Arrangement as would enable the other Party to proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on such amended terms. If the Receiving Party’s board of directors determines that such Acquisition Proposal would cease to be a Superior Proposal, the Receiving Party shall promptly so advise the other Party and the Parties shall amend this Agreement to reflect such offer made by the other Party, and shall take and cause to be taken all such actions as are necessary to give effect to the foregoing.
(3)
Each successive amendment or modification to any Acquisition Proposal that results in an increase in, or modification of, the consideration (or value of such consideration) to be received by the Receiving Party or its shareholders or other material terms or conditions thereof shall constitute a new Acquisition Proposal for the purposes of this Section 5.4 and the other Party shall be afforded a new five Business Day Matching Period from the later of the date on which such other Party received the Superior Proposal Notice and the date on which such other Party received all of the materials set forth in Section 5.4(1)(c) with respect to the new Superior Proposal from the Receiving Party.
(4)
The Receiving Party’s board of directors shall promptly reaffirm the Aphria Board Recommendation or the Tilray Board Recommendation, as the case may be, by press release after any Acquisition Proposal which is not determined to be a Superior Proposal is publicly announced or the Receiving Party’s board of directors determines that a proposed amendment to the terms of this Agreement as contemplated Section 5.4(2) would result in an Acquisition Proposal no longer being a Superior Proposal. The Receiving Party shall provide the other Party and its outside legal counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review the form and content of any such press release and shall make all reasonable amendments to such press release as requested by the other Party and its counsel.
(5)
If the Receiving Party provides a Superior Proposal Notice to the other Party on a date that is less than 10 Business Days before the Aphria Meeting or the Tilray Meeting, as the case may be, the other Party will be entitled to require the Receiving Party to proceed with or adjourn or postpone such Aphria Meeting or Tilray Meeting, as the case may be, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to a date specified by the other Party that is not more than 10 Business Days after the scheduled date of the Aphria Meeting or the Tilray Meeting, as the case may be, provided that in no event shall such adjourned or postponed meeting be held on a date that is less than five Business Days prior to the Outside Date.

ARTICLE 3
ARRANGEMENT
Section 3.1 The Arrangement
Commencing at the Effective Time, each of the events set out below shall occur and be deemed to occur in the following sequence, in each case without any further authorization, act or formality on the part of any Person:
(1)
at the Effective Time:
(a)
each Dissenting Share held by an Aphria Dissenting Shareholder who is ultimately determined to be entitled to be paid the fair value of the Dissenting Shares in respect of which such Aphria Dissenting Shareholder has exercised Dissent Rights shall be, and shall be deemed to be, transferred by the holder thereof, without any further act or formality on its part, to Aphria (free and clear of all Liens) and such Aphria Dissenting Shareholder will cease to be the holder thereof or to have any rights as a holder in respect of such Dissenting Share other than the right to be paid the fair value of such Dissenting Share determined and payable in accordance with Article 4; and
(b)
at the same time as the step in Section 3.1(b)(i) occurs, the name of each Aphria Dissenting Shareholder shall be removed from the register of the Aphria Shares and such Dissenting Shares shall be automatically cancelled as of the Effective Date;
(2)
at the same time as the steps in Section 3.1(a) occur:
(a)
each Aphria Share outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Dissenting Shares held by Aphria Dissenting Shareholders who are ultimately determined to be entitled to be paid the fair value of their Dissenting Shares as determined in accordance with Article 4), shall be, and shall be deemed to be, transferred by the holder thereof to Tilray (free and clear of all Liens) in exchange for issuance of the Share Consideration;
A-51

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(b)
at the same time as the step in Section 3.1(b)(i) occurs, the Amended Tilray Omnibus Plan becomes effective and the holder of each Aphria Share transferred to Tilray pursuant to Section 3.1(b)(i) shall cease to be the holder thereof, or to have any rights as a holder thereof other than the right to receive the Share Consideration issuable in respect of each Aphria Share held pursuant to Section 3.1(b)(i) and shall be removed from the register of the Aphria Shares and legal and beneficial title to each such Aphria Share shall be transferred to Tilray and Tilray will be and be deemed to be the transferee and legal and beneficial owner of such Aphria Share (free and clear of any Liens) and will be entered in the central securities register of Aphria as the sole holder thereof; and
(c)
Tilray will be the holder of all of the outstanding Aphria Shares;
(3)
immediately after the steps in Section 3.1(b) occur:
(a)
each Aphria Option, to the extent it has not been exercised as of the Effective Date, will be exchanged by the holder thereof, without any further act or formality and free and clear of all Liens, for a stock option (a “Replacement Option”) to purchase a number of Tilray Shares equal to the product of the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to two decimal places, multiplied by the number of Aphria Shares issuable on exercise of such Aphria Option immediately prior to the Effective Time (rounded down to the next whole number of Tilray Shares) for an exercise price per Tilray Share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to the exercise price per share of such Aphria Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to two decimal places, and the Aphria Options shall thereupon be cancelled. The term to expiry, conditions to and manner of exercise and other terms and conditions of each of the Replacement Options shall be the same as the terms and conditions of the Aphria Option for which it is exchanged except that such Replacement Options shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the Tilray Plan and, in the event of any inconsistency or conflict the Tilray Plan shall govern. It is intended that subsection 7(1.4) of the Tax Act apply to the exchange of Aphria Options by Aphria Securityholders resident in Canada who acquired Aphria Options by virtue of their employment. Accordingly, and notwithstanding the foregoing, if required, the exercise price of a Replacement Option held by such an Aphria Securityholder will be increased such that the In-The-Money Amount of the Replacement Option immediately after the exchange does not exceed the In-The-Money Amount of the Aphria Option immediately before the exchange. For any Aphria Option that is intended to qualify as an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, it is intended that such exchange will comply with Treasury Regulation Section 1.424(1)(a). For any Aphria Option that is a nonqualified option held by a US taxpayer, it is intended that such exchange will be implemented in a manner intended comply with Section 409A of the Code.

Pursuant to the Interim Order, each registered Shareholder may exercise rights of dissent (“Dissent Rights”) pursuant to and in the manner set forth in Section 185 of the OBCA, as modified by this Article 4 and the Interim Order; provided, however, that written objection to the Arrangement Resolution, in the
A-53

TABLE OF CONTENTS

manner contemplated by Subsection 185(6) of the OBCA, must be sent to and received by Aphria by no later than 4:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the second Business Day immediately prior to the Meeting. Shareholders who duly exercise such rights of dissent and who:
(a)
are ultimately determined to be entitled to be paid by Aphria, the fair value for Aphria Shares in respect of which they have exercised Dissent Rights will be deemed to have irrevocably transferred such Aphria Shares to Aphria pursuant to Section 3.1(b)(i) in consideration of such fair value and will not be entitled to any other payment or consideration, including any payment that would be payable under the Arrangement had such holders not exercised their Dissent Rights in respect of such Aphria Shares; or
(b)
are ultimately not entitled, for any reason, to be paid by Aphria, the fair value for Aphria Shares in respect of which they have exercised Dissent Rights will be deemed to have participated in the Arrangement on the same basis as a Shareholder who has not exercised Dissent Rights, as at and from the time specified in Section 3.1(b)(i) and be entitled to receive only the consideration set forth in Section 3.1(b)(i) that such holder would have received if such holder had not exercised Dissent Rights;
but in no case will Aphria or Tilray or any other person be required to recognize such holders as holders of Aphria Shares after the completion of the steps set forth in Section 3.1(b), and each Aphria Dissenting Shareholder will cease to be entitled to the rights of a Shareholder in respect of Aphria Shares in relation to which such Aphria Dissenting Shareholder has exercised Dissent Rights and the central securities register of Aphria will be amended to reflect that such former holder is no longer the holder of such Aphria Shares as and from the Effective Time and that such Aphria Shares have been cancelled. For greater certainty, and in addition to any other restriction under Section 185 of the OBCA, a Shareholder who has voted, or instructed a proxyholder to vote, in favour of the Arrangement Resolution shall not be entitled to exercise Dissent Rights with respect to the Arrangement.
(2)
For greater certainty in accordance with the OBCA, none of the following are entitled to exercise Dissent Rights: (i) holders of Aphria Options; (ii) holders of Aphria RSUs, (iii) holders of Aphria DSUs, (iv) holders of 2016 Aphria Warrants, and (v) holders of Aphria Shares who vote in favour of the Arrangement Resolution.

Section 5.4 Adjustment to Share Consideration
THE NUMBER OF SHARE CONSIDERATION, IF ANY, THAT AN APHRIA SHAREHOLDER IS ENTITLED TO RECEIVE PURSUANT TO SECTION 3.1(B) SHALL BE ADJUSTED TO REFLECT FULLY THE EFFECT OF ANY STOCK SPLIT, REVERSE SPLIT OR STOCK DIVIDEND (INCLUDING ANY DIVIDEND OR DISTRIBUTION OF SECURITIES CONVERTIBLE INTO COMMON SHARES), CONSOLIDATION, REORGANIZATION, RECAPITALIZATION OR OTHER LIKE CHANGE WITH RESPECT TO COMMON SHARES OCCURRING AFTER THE DATE OF THE ARRANGEMENT AGREEMENT AND PRIOR TO THE EFFECTIVE TIME.

When authorizing such delivery in relation to any lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the former holder of such Aphria Shares will, as a condition precedent to the delivery of Tilray Shares, give a bond satisfactory to Tilray and the Depositary (acting reasonably) in such sum as Tilray may direct or otherwise indemnify Aphria, Tilray and the Depositary against any claim that may be made against any of them with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.
Section 5.7 Extinction of Rights

Article 3
ARRANGEMENT
Section 3.1  The Arrangement
Commencing at the Effective Time, each of the events set out below shall occur and be deemed to occur in the following sequence, in each case without any further authorization, act or formality on the part of any Person:
(a)
at the Effective Time:
(i)
each Dissenting Share held by an Aphria Dissenting Shareholder who is ultimately determined to be entitled to be paid the fair value of the Dissenting Shares in respect of which such Aphria Dissenting Shareholder has exercised Dissent Rights shall be, and shall be deemed to be, transferred by the holder thereof, without any further act or formality on its part, to Aphria (free and clear of all Liens) and such Aphria Dissenting Shareholder will cease to be the holder thereof or to have any rights as a holder in respect of such Dissenting Share other than the right to be paid the fair value of such Dissenting Share determined and payable in accordance with Article 4; and
(ii)
at the same time as the step in Section 3.1(b)(i) occurs, the name of each Aphria Dissenting Shareholder shall be removed from the register of the Aphria Shares and such Dissenting Shares shall be automatically cancelled as of the Effective Date;
(b)
at the same time as the steps in Section 3.1(a) occur:
(i)
each Aphria Share outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Dissenting Shares held by Aphria Dissenting Shareholders who are ultimately determined to be entitled to be paid the fair value of their Dissenting Shares as determined in accordance with Article 4), shall be, and shall be deemed to be, transferred by the holder thereof to Tilray (free and clear of all Liens) in exchange for issuance of the Share Consideration;
(ii)
at the same time as the step in Section 3.1(b)(i) occurs, the holder of each Aphria Share ‎transferred to Tilray pursuant ‎to Section 3.1(b)(i) shall cease to be the holder thereof, or ‎to have any rights as a ‎holder thereof other than the right to receive the Share ‎Consideration issuable in ‎respect of each Aphria Share held pursuant to Section ‎‎3.1(b)(i) and shall be removed ‎from the register of the Aphria Shares and legal and ‎beneficial title to each such ‎Aphria Share shall be transferred to Tilray and Tilray will ‎be and be deemed to be the ‎transferee and legal and beneficial owner of such Aphria ‎Share (free and clear of any ‎Liens) and will be entered in the central securities register ‎of Aphria as the sole holder ‎thereof‎; and
(iii)
Tilray will be the holder of all of the outstanding Aphria Shares;
(c)
immediately after the steps in Section 3.1(b) occur:
(i)
each Aphria Option, other than any Continuing Aphria Option, to the extent it has not ‎been exercised as of the Effective Date, ‎will be exchanged by the holder thereof, without ‎any further act or formality and ‎free and clear of all Liens, for a stock option (a ‎‎‎“Replacement Option”) to purchase a number of Tilray Shares equal to ‎the product of ‎the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to two decimal places, multiplied by the number of ‎Aphria Shares ‎issuable on exercise of such Aphria Option immediately prior to the ‎Effective ‎Time (rounded down to the next whole ‎number of Tilray Shares) for an ‎exercise price per Tilray Share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to the ‎exercise price per ‎share of such Aphria Option immediately prior to the Effective Time ‎divided by the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to two decimal places, and the Aphria ‎Options shall thereupon be ‎cancelled. The term to expiry, conditions to and manner of ‎exercise and other ‎terms and conditions of each of the Replacement Options shall be the ‎same as ‎the terms and conditions of the Aphria Option for which it is exchanged except ‎‎that such Replacement Options shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the ‎‎Tilray Plan and, in the event of any inconsistency or conflict the Tilray Plan shall ‎govern. It is intended that subsection 7(1.4) of the Tax Act apply to the exchange of ‎Aphria Options by Aphria Securityholders resident in Canada who acquired Aphria ‎Options by virtue of their employment. Accordingly, and notwithstanding the foregoing, ‎if required, the exercise price of a Replacement Option held by such an Aphria ‎Securityholder will be increased such that the In-The-Money Amount of the ‎Replacement Option immediately after the exchange
B-5

TABLE OF CONTENTS

does not exceed the In-The-Money ‎Amount of the Aphria Option immediately before the exchange. For any Aphria Option ‎that is intended to qualify as an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section ‎‎422 of the Code, it is intended that such exchange will comply with Treasury Regulation ‎Section 1.424(1)(a). For any Aphria Option that is a nonqualified option held by a US ‎taxpayer, it is intended that such exchange will be implemented in a manner intended ‎comply with Section 409A of the Code. Any document previously evidencing the Aphria ‎Option shall thereafter evidence and be deemed to evidence such ‎Replacement Option ‎and no certificates evidencing the Replacement Options ‎shall be issued;
(ii)
each Continuing Aphria Option shall, without any further action on the part of ‎any holder of any Continuing Aphria Option, be ‎continued on the same terms and ‎conditions as were applicable immediately prior to ‎the Effective Time, except that, ‎pursuant to the terms of the Aphria Omnibus Incentive Plan, the terms of the Continuing ‎Aphria Options shall be amended so as to substitute for ‎the Aphria Shares subject to such ‎Continuing Aphria Options such number of Tilray Shares ‎equal to (A) the number of ‎Aphria Shares subject to the Continuing Aphria Options immediately ‎prior to the ‎Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to ‎two decimal ‎places;
(iii)
each Aphria RSU other than a Continuing Aphria RSU, to the extent it has not been exercised as of the Effective ‎Date, ‎will be exchanged by the holder thereof, without any further act or ‎formality and ‎free and clear of all Liens, for an award of restricted share units ‎granted by Tilray (the ‎‎“Replacement RSUs”) in respect of a number of Tilray ‎Shares equal to the product of the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to two decimal places, multiplied by the number of ‎Aphria Shares underlying such Aphria RSUs immediately prior to the ‎Effective Time (rounded down to the next whole number of Tilray Shares), and the Aphria RSUs shall thereupon be ‎cancelled. The term to expiry, conditions to and manner of receipt and other ‎‎terms and conditions of each of the Replacement RSUs shall be the same as ‎the ‎terms and conditions of the Aphria RSU for which it is exchanged except ‎‎that such Replacement RSU shall be governed by the terms and conditions of ‎the Tilray Plan and, in the event of any inconsistency or conflict the Tilray Plan ‎shall govern. Any document previously evidencing the Aphria RSUs shall ‎thereafter evidence and be deemed to evidence such ‎Replacement RSUs and no ‎certificates evidencing the Replacement RSUs ‎shall be issued. It is intended that subsection 7(1.4) of the Tax Act apply to the exchange of Aphria RSUs by Aphria Securityholders resident in Canada who acquired Aphria RSUs by virtue of their employment;
(iv)
each Continuing Aphria RSU shall, without any further action on the part of ‎any holder of any Continuing Aphria RSU, be ‎continued on the same terms and ‎conditions as were applicable immediately prior to ‎the Effective Time, except that, ‎pursuant to the terms of the Aphria Omnibus Incentive Plan, the terms of the Continuing ‎Aphria RSUs shall be amended so as to substitute for ‎the Aphria Shares subject to such ‎Continuing Aphria RSUs such number of Tilray Shares ‎equal to (A) the number of ‎Aphria Shares subject to the Continuing Aphria RSUs immediately ‎prior to the ‎Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to ‎two decimal ‎places;
(v)
each Aphria DSU other than a Continuing Aphria DSU, to the extent it has not been exercised as of the Effective ‎Date, ‎will be exchanged by the holder thereof, without any further act or ‎formality and ‎free and clear of all Liens, for an award of deferred share units ‎granted by Tilray (the ‎‎“Replacement DSUs”) in respect of a number of Tilray ‎Shares equal to the product of the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to two decimal places, multiplied by the number of ‎Aphria Shares underlying such Aphria DSUs immediately prior to the ‎Effective Time (rounded down to the next whole number of Tilray Shares), and the Aphria DSUs shall thereupon be ‎cancelled. The term to expiry, conditions to and manner of receipt and other ‎‎terms and conditions of each of the Replacement DSUs shall be the same as ‎the ‎terms and conditions of the Aphria DSU for which it is exchanged except ‎‎that such Replacement DSU shall be governed by the terms and conditions of ‎the Tilray Plan and, in the event of any inconsistency or conflict the Tilray Plan ‎shall govern. Any document previously evidencing the Aphria DSUs shall ‎thereafter evidence and be deemed to

evidence such ‎Replacement DSUs and no ‎certificates evidencing the Replacement DSUs ‎shall be issued. It is intended that subsection 7(1.4) of the Tax Act apply to the exchange of Aphria DSUs by Aphria Securityholders resident in Canada who acquired Aphria DSUs by virtue of their employment‎;
(vi)
each Continuing Aphria DSU shall, without any further action on the part of ‎any holder of any Continuing Aphria DSU, be ‎continued on the same terms and ‎conditions as were applicable immediately prior to ‎the Effective Time, except that, ‎pursuant to the terms of the Aphria Omnibus Incentive Plan, the terms of the Continuing ‎Aphria DSUs shall be amended so as to substitute for ‎the Aphria Shares subject to such ‎Continuing Aphria DSUs such number of Tilray Shares ‎equal to (A) the number of ‎Aphria Shares subject to the Continuing Aphria DSUs immediately ‎prior to the ‎Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to ‎two decimal ‎places;
(vii)
each 2016 Aphria Warrant, to the extent it has not been exercised as of the Effective Date, ‎will be exchanged by the holder thereof, without any further act or formality and ‎free and clear of all Liens, for a warrant (a ‎‎“Replacement Warrant”) to purchase a number of Tilray Shares equal to ‎the product of the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to two decimal places, multiplied by the number of Aphria Shares ‎issuable on exercise of such Aphria Warrant immediately prior to the Effective ‎Time for an exercise price per Tilray Share equal to the exercise price per ‎share of such Aphria Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time divided ‎by the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to two decimal places, and rounded up to the nearest whole cent (provided that, ‎if the foregoing calculation results in a Replacement Warrant being exercisable ‎for a fraction of a Tilray Share, then the number of Tilray Shares ‎subject to such Replacement Warrant shall be rounded down to the next whole ‎number of Tilray Shares) and the 2016 Aphria Warrants shall thereupon be ‎cancelled. The term to expiry, conditions to and manner of exercise and other ‎terms and conditions of each of the Replacement Warrants shall be the same as ‎the terms and conditions of the 2016 Aphria Warrant for which it is exchanged. Any ‎document previously evidencing a 2016 Aphria Warrant shall thereafter evidence ‎and be deemed to evidence such Replacement Warrant and no certificates ‎evidencing the Replacement Warrants shall be issued;
(viii)
other than the 2016 Aphria Warrants, each Aphria Warrant shall, without any further action on the part of any holder of Aphria Warrant, be continued on the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that, pursuant to the terms of the Aphria Warrant Indenture, the terms of the Aphria Warrants shall be amended so as to substitute for the Aphria Shares subject to such Aphria Warrants such number of Tilray Shares equal to (A) the number of Aphria Shares subject to the Aphria Warrants immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to two decimal places;
(ix)
the Aphria Warrant Indenture shall be terminated and, for greater certainty, all rights to ‎receive any securities of the Aphria formerly held by Aphria Securityholders shall be ‎extinguished‎; and
(d)
no person shall have any rights, liabilities or other obligations in respect of the share capital of Aphria other than Tilray and each holder of Aphria Shares, Aphria Options, Continuing Aphria Options, Aphria RSUs, Continuing Aphria RSUs, Aphria DSUs, Continuing Aphria DSUs or 2016 Aphria Warrants outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, with respect to each step set out above applicable to such holder, shall be deemed, at the time such step occurs, to have executed and delivered all consents, releases, assignments and waivers, statutory or otherwise, required to transfer all Aphria Shares, Aphria Options, Aphria RSUs, Aphria DSUs or 2016 Aphria Warrants held by such holder in accordance with such step.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(i)
are ultimately determined to be entitled to be paid by Aphria, the fair value for Aphria Shares in respect of which they have exercised Dissent Rights will be deemed to have irrevocably transferred such Aphria Shares to Aphria pursuant to Section 3.1(b)(i) in consideration of such fair value and will not be entitled to any other payment or consideration, including any payment that would be payable under the Arrangement had such holders not exercised their Dissent Rights in respect of such Aphria Shares; or
(ii)
are ultimately not entitled, for any reason, to be paid by Aphria, the fair value for Aphria Shares in respect of which they have exercised Dissent Rights will be deemed to have participated in the Arrangement on the same basis as a Shareholder who has not exercised Dissent Rights, as at and from the time specified in Section 3.1(b)(i) and be entitled to receive only the consideration set forth in Section 3.1(b)(i) that such holder would have received if such holder had not exercised Dissent Rights;

but in no case will Aphria or Tilray or any other person be required to recognize such holders as holders of Aphria Shares after the completion of the steps set forth in Section 3.1(b), and each Aphria Dissenting Shareholder will cease to be entitled to the rights of a Shareholder in respect of Aphria Shares in relation to which such Aphria Dissenting Shareholder has exercised Dissent Rights and the central securities register of Aphria will be amended to reflect that such former holder is no longer the holder of such Aphria Shares as and from the Effective Time and that such Aphria Shares have been cancelled.

The Board of Directors
of Aphria Inc.
98 Talbot Street West
Leamington, Ontario N8H 1M8
Canada
Members of the Board:
Jefferies LLC (“ Jefferies ”, “ we ”, “ us ” or “ our ”) understands that Aphria Inc. (the “ Company ”) and Tilray, Inc. (“ Tilray ”) propose to enter into an arrangement agreement to be dated December 15, 2020 (the “ Arrangement Agreement ”) pursuant to which, among other things, each outstanding common share of the Company (each an “ Aphria Share ” and collectively, the “ Aphria Shares ”) will be transferred and assigned by the holder thereof to Tilray in exchange for 0.8381 (the “ Exchange Ratio ”) of a Class 2 common stock of Tilray (each a “ Tilray Share ” and collectively, the “ Tilray Shares ”). We understand that the transaction is proposed to be effected by way of an arrangement (the “ Arrangement ”) under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario). The terms and conditions of the Arrangement Agreement will be more fully described in a joint proxy statement and management information circular of Tilray and the Company, which will be mailed to the holders of Tilray Shares and to the holders of Aphria Shares (each an “ Aphria Shareholder ” and collectively, the “ Aphria Shareholders ”) in connection with the Arrangement.
By letter agreement dated October 30, 2020, (the “Engagement Agreement”), the Company retained Jefferies to act as financial advisor to the Company and its board of directors (the “Board of Directors”) in connection with potential corporate transactions, such as the Arrangement. Pursuant to the Engagement Agreement, the Company has requested that we prepare and deliver to the Board of Directors our written opinion (the “Opinion”) as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Exchange Ratio to the Aphria Shareholders.
In arriving at our Opinion, we have, among other things:
(i)
reviewed a draft dated December 15, 2020 of the Arrangement Agreement;
(ii)
reviewed certain publicly available financial and other information about the Company and Tilray;
(iii)
reviewed certain information furnished to us by the management of the Company, including financial forecasts and analyses, relating to the business, operations and prospects of the Company and Tilray, and estimates as to the amount and timing of certain cost savings and related expenses anticipated by the management of the Company to result from the Arrangement (“Synergies”);
(iv)
held discussions with members of senior management of the Company concerning the matters described in clauses (ii) and (iii) above;
(v)
reviewed the share trading price history and valuation multiples for the Aphria Shares and the Tilray Shares;
(vi)
considered the potential pro forma impact of the Arrangement; and
(vii)
conducted such other financial studies, analyses and investigations as we deemed appropriate.
In our review and analysis and in rendering this Opinion, we have assumed and relied upon, but have not assumed any responsibility to independently investigate or verify, the accuracy and completeness of all financial and other information, data, advice, opinions, representations and other material that was supplied or otherwise made available by the Company or that was publicly available to us (including, without limitation, the
G-1

TABLE OF CONTENTS

information described above), or that was otherwise reviewed by us. We have relied on assurances of the management of the Company that it is not aware of any facts or circumstances that would make such information inaccurate or misleading. In our review, we did not obtain any independent evaluation or appraisal of any of the assets or liabilities of, nor did we conduct a physical inspection of any of the properties or facilities of, the Company, nor have we been furnished with any such evaluations or appraisals of such physical inspections, nor do we assume any responsibility to obtain any such evaluations or appraisals. Without limiting the foregoing, we have not prepared a formal valuation (as defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions) of the Company or any of its securities or assets and this Opinion should not be construed as such.
With respect to the financial forecasts provided to and examined by us, we note that projecting future results of any company is inherently subject to uncertainty. The Company has informed us, however, and we have assumed, that such financial forecasts were reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and good faith judgments of the management of the Company as to the future financial performance of the Company and Tilray. In addition, the Company has informed us, and we have assumed, that the Synergies were reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and good faith judgments of the management of the Company as to the amount and timing of certain cost savings and related expenses anticipated by the management of the Company to result from the Arrangement, and we have relied upon the assessment of the management of the Company as to the ability of the combined company to achieve the Synergies in the amounts and at the times projected. We express no opinion as to the financial forecasts or the Synergies provided to us by the Company, or the assumptions on which they are made.
Our Opinion is based on economic, monetary, regulatory, market and other conditions existing and which can be evaluated as of the date hereof. We expressly disclaim any undertaking or obligation to advise any person of any change in any fact or matter affecting our Opinion of which we become aware after the date hereof.
We are not legal, regulatory, accounting or tax experts and have relied on the assessments made by the Company and its professional advisors with respect to such matters. We have made no independent investigation of any legal, regulatory, accounting or tax matters affecting the Company, and we have assumed the correctness in all respects material to our analysis of all legal, regulatory, accounting and tax advice given to the Company and its Board of Directors, including, without limitation, advice as to the legal, regulatory, accounting and tax consequences of the terms of, and transactions contemplated by, the Arrangement Agreement to the Company and the Aphria Shareholders. In addition, in preparing this Opinion, we have not taken into account any tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement to any Aphria Shareholder. In preparing this Opinion, we have assumed that the executed Arrangement Agreement will not differ in any material respect from the draft that we reviewed, and that the Arrangement will be consummated in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Arrangement Agreement without waiver of, or amendment to, any term or condition that is in any way material to our analyses. We have also assumed that in the course of obtaining the necessary regulatory or third party approvals, consents and releases necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement, no delay, limitation, restriction or condition will be imposed that would have an adverse effect on the Company, Tilray, any Aphria Shareholder or the contemplated benefits of the Arrangement.
It is understood that our Opinion is for the use and benefit of the Board of Directors of the Company in its consideration of the Arrangement, and our Opinion does not address the relative merits of the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement as compared to any alternative transaction or opportunity that might be available to the Company, nor does it address the underlying business decision by the Company to engage in the Arrangement or the terms of the Arrangement Agreement or the documents referred to therein. Our Opinion does not constitute a recommendation as to how any Aphria Shareholder should vote on the Arrangement or any matter related thereto. In addition, you have not asked us to address, and this Opinion does not address, the fairness to, or any other consideration of, the holders of any class of securities, creditors or other constituencies of the Company, other than the Aphria Shareholders. We express no opinion as to the price at which Aphria Shares or Tilray Shares will trade at any time. Furthermore, we do not express any view or opinion as to the fairness, financial or otherwise, of the amount or nature of any compensation payable to or to be received by any of the Company’s officers, directors or employees, or any class of such persons, in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement relative to the consideration to be received by the Aphria Shareholders.

Members of the Board:
In your capacity as members of the Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors”) of Tilray, Inc. (the “Company”), you have requested our opinion (the “Opinion”), as investment bankers, as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the Company of the Exchange Ratio (as defined below) pursuant to the terms of that certain Arrangement Agreement, to be dated as of December 15, 2020 (the “Agreement”), by and between Aphria Inc. (“Aphria”) and the Company.
As more specifically set forth in the Agreement, and subject to the terms, conditions and adjustments set forth in the Agreement, the Company is proposing to enter into a business combination transaction with Aphria, pursuant to which the Company will issue 0.8381 shares of the Company’s Class 2 common stock in exchange for each common share of Aphria that is issued and outstanding (the “Exchange Ratio”), by way of a statutory plan of arrangement pursuant to Section 182 of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the “Transaction”).
Cowen and Company, LLC (“we” or “Cowen”), as part of its investment banking business, is continually engaged in the valuation of businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, negotiated underwritings, secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements and valuations for corporate and other purposes. In the ordinary course of our business, we and our affiliates may actively trade the securities of the Company and Aphria for our own account and for the accounts of our customers and, accordingly, may at any time hold a long or short position in such securities.
We are acting as lead financial advisor to the Board of Directors of the Company in connection with the Transaction and will receive a fee from the Company for our services, a significant portion of which is contingent upon the consummation of the Transaction. We will also receive a fee for providing this Opinion. In addition, the Company has agreed to reimburse our expenses and indemnify us for certain liabilities that may arise out of our engagement. In the two years preceding the date of this Opinion, Cowen has served as a financial advisor and sales agent to the Company and has received fees for the rendering of such services.

management of Aphria (the “Aphria Forecasts”), adjusted Aphria Forecasts prepared by the management of the Company (the “Adjusted Aphria Forecasts”), and the amounts and timing of the cost savings and related expenses expected to result from the Transaction furnished to us by the management of the Company and Aphria (the “Expected Synergies”);
consensus estimates and financial projections in Wall Street analyst reports (together, “Wall Street Projections”) for each of the Company and Aphria;
discussions we have had with certain members of the managements of each of the Company and Aphria concerning the historical and current business operations, financial conditions and prospects of the Company and Aphria, the Expected Synergies and such other matters we deemed relevant;
certain financial and stock market information for the Company and Aphria as compared with similar information for certain publicly traded companies we deemed relevant; and
such other information, financial studies, analyses and investigations and such other factors that we deemed relevant for the purposes of this Opinion.
In conducting our review and arriving at our Opinion, we have, with your consent, assumed and relied, without independent investigation, upon the accuracy and completeness of all financial and other information provided to us by the Company and Aphria, respectively, or which is publicly available or was otherwise reviewed by us. We have not undertaken any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or reasonableness of, or independent verification of, such information. We have relied upon, without independent verifications, the assessment of the management of the Company as to the existing products and services of the Company and the viability of, and risks associated with, the future products and services of the Company. In addition, we have not conducted nor have assumed any obligation to conduct any physical inspection of the properties or facilities of the Company or Aphria. We have further relied upon the Company’s representation and Aphria' s representation that all information provided to us by the Company and Aphria, respectively, is accurate and complete in all material respects. We have, with your consent, assumed that the Company Forecasts, the Aphria Forecasts, the Adjusted Aphria Forecasts, and the description of Expected Synergies were reasonably prepared by the respective managements of the Company and Aphria on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and good faith judgments of such managements as to the future performance of the Company and Aphria, and that such Company Forecasts, Aphria Forecasts, Adjusted Aphria Forecasts, Expected Synergies and the Wall Street Projections utilized in our analyses, provide a reasonable basis for our Opinion. We express no opinion as to the Company Forecasts, the Aphria Forecasts, the Adjusted Aphria Forecasts, the Wall Street Projections or the assumptions on which they were made. We expressly disclaim any undertaking or obligation to advise any person of any change in any fact or matter affecting our Opinion of which we become aware of after the date hereof.
We assumed that there were no material changes in the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects of the Company or Aphria since the date of the last financial statements made available to us. We have not made or obtained any independent evaluations, valuations or appraisals of the assets or liabilities of the Company or Aphria, nor have we been furnished with such materials. In addition, we have not evaluated the solvency or fair value of the Company, or Aphria under any state, provincial or federal laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or similar matters. Our Opinion does not address any legal, tax, accounting or regulatory matters related to the Agreement or the Transaction, as to which we have assumed that the Company and the Board of Directors of the Company have received such advice from legal, tax, accounting and regulatory advisors as each has determined appropriate. Our Opinion addresses only the fairness of the Exchange Ratio, from a financial point of view to the Company. We express no view as to any other aspect or implication of the Transaction or any other agreement, arrangement or understanding entered into in connection with the Transaction or otherwise. Our Opinion is necessarily based upon economic and market conditions and other circumstances as they exist and can be evaluated by us on the date hereof. It should be understood that although subsequent developments may affect our Opinion, we do not have any obligation to update, revise or reaffirm our Opinion and we expressly disclaim any responsibility to do so.

CONFIDENTIAL
December 15, 2020
Board of Directors of Tilray, Inc.
c/o Tilray, Inc.
1100 Maughan Road
Nanaimo, BC, Canada V9XIJ2
Members of the Board of Directors:
We understand that Tilray, Inc. (“Tilray” or the “Company”) is considering entering into a business combination transaction with Aphria Inc. (“Aphria”), pursuant to which the Company will issue 0.8381 shares of the Company’s Class 2 common stock in exchange for each common share of Aphria that is issued and outstanding (the “Exchange Ratio”), by way of a statutory plan of arrangement pursuant to Section 182 of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the “Transaction”). The terms and conditions of the contemplated Transaction are more fully set forth in the Arrangement Agreement, between Tilray and Aphria, substantially in the form of the draft dated December 14, 2020 (the “Arrangement Agreement”), and the ancillary documents thereto (collectively with the Arrangement Agreement, the “Draft Transaction Documents”).
The Board of Directors of Tilray (the “Board”) has requested that we provide our opinion to the Board as to the fairness of the Exchange Ratio, from a financial point of view, to Tilray pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement. We are not opining on, and this opinion does not constitute an opinion with respect to, Tilray’s underlying business decision to effect the Transaction, any legal, tax or accounting issues concerning the contemplated Transaction, or any terms or other aspects of the contemplated Transaction (other than as to the fairness of the Exchange Ratio, from a financial point of view, to Tilray).
In connection with this opinion, we have made such reviews, analyses, and inquiries as we have deemed necessary and appropriate under the circumstances. We have, among other things:
(i) 
Analyzed certain historical business and financial information relating to Tilray and Aphria that we deemed to be relevant to our analysis;
(ii) 
Reviewed certain internal financial forecasts and budgets for Tilray and Aphria prepared and provided by each company’s respective management;
(iii)
Held discussions with certain members of Tilray’s management to discuss the operations and future prospects of Tilray;
(iv)
Reviewed public information with respect to certain other public companies with business lines and financial profiles which we deemed to be relevant;
(v)
Reviewed the financial and other relevant terms, to the extent publicly available, of certain acquisition transactions which we deemed to be relevant;
(vi)
Reviewed certain publicly available research reports;
(vii)
Reviewed the Draft Transaction Documents;
(viii)
Reviewed various presentations and materials prepared by Tilray’s financial advisor Cowen and Co.;
(ix)
Considered the results of our review, analysis and evaluation of strategic alternatives available to the Company; and
(x)
Conducted such other financial studies, analyses and investigations and took into account such other matters as we deemed necessary, including our assessment of general economic and monetary conditions.
In giving our opinion, we have relied upon the accuracy and completeness of the foregoing financial and other information and have not assumed responsibility for independent verification of such information or conducted or have been furnished with any current

independent valuation or appraisal of any assets of Tilray or any appraisal or estimate of liabilities of Tilray. With respect to the financial forecasts, we have assumed, with your consent, that they have been reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of management of Tilray as to the future financial performance of Tilray. We have not made any independent valuation or appraisal of the assets or liabilities of Tilray. We have also relied upon the assurances of Tilray that it is unaware of any facts that would make the information or financial forecasts provided to us untrue or misleading. We assume no responsibility for, and express no view as to, such financial forecasts or the assumptions on which they are based.
Our opinion is necessarily based upon financial, monetary, economic, market and other conditions as they exist and can be evaluated on, and the information made available to us as of, the date hereof and does not address the fairness of the Exchange Ratio as of any other date, and we assume no responsibility for updating, revising or reaffirming this opinion based on circumstances, developments or events arising or occurring after the date hereof. These conditions have been and remain subject to volatility and uncertainty, and we express no view as to the impact of such volatility and uncertainty after the date hereof on Tilray or the contemplated benefits of the Transaction. In rendering this opinion, we have assumed, with your consent that (i) the final executed form of the Draft Transaction Documents will not differ in any material respect from the drafts that we have examined, (ii) the parties to the Draft Transaction Documents will comply with all the material terms of the Draft Transaction Documents, and (iii) the contemplated Transaction will be consummated in accordance with the terms of the Draft Transaction Documents without any adverse waiver or amendment of any material term or condition thereof. We have also assumed that all governmental, regulatory or other consents and approvals necessary for the consummation of the contemplated Transaction will be obtained without any material adverse effect on Tilray or the contemplated Transaction.
Our opinion expressed herein has been prepared at your request for the use and benefit of the Board in connection with its consideration of the Transaction, and may not be used for any other purpose or disclosed without our prior written consent, except as provided below. Our opinion does not constitute a recommendation as to how stockholders of Tilray should vote or act in connection with the contemplated Transaction or any aspect thereof. Our opinion does not address the merits of the underlying decision by Tilray to engage in the contemplated Transaction or the relative merits of any strategic or financial alternatives that may be available to Tilray. We were not requested to, and did not, solicit third party indications of interest in acquiring all or any part of Tilray, nor did we negotiate with any of the parties to the contemplated Transaction. Except as set forth in the engagement letter between Imperial Capital, LLC (“Imperial Capital”) and Tilray dated May 27, 2020 (the “Engagement Letter”), this opinion may not be reproduced, disseminated, quoted or referred to at any time without our prior written consent.
Pursuant to the terms of the Engagement Letter, no portion of Imperial Capital’s fee for the delivery of this fairness opinion is contingent upon the conclusions reached in this opinion, nor is any portion contingent upon the consummation of the contemplated Transaction. Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the engagement letter between Imperial Capital and Tilray, Tilray has agreed to reimburse Imperial Capital for certain expenses and to indemnify Imperial Capital from certain liabilities arising from this engagement and the delivery of this fairness opinion.
Imperial Capital and its affiliates are engaged in investment banking and financial advisory services, securities trading, investment management, principal investment, financing, brokerage activities and other financial and non-financial activities and services for various persons and entities, including the controlling stockholders of Tilray. In the ordinary course of our business, we and our affiliates may actively trade the debt and equity securities of Tilray for our own account and for the accounts of customers and, accordingly, may at any time hold a long or short position in such securities. In September 2019, we provided a fairness opinion to the Special Committee of the Board of Directors of Tilray in connection with a transaction with Privateer Holdings, Inc. Other than the foregoing, there are no material relationships that existed during the two years before the date of this opinion or that are mutually understood to be compensated in which any compensation was received or is intended to be received as a result of the relationship between us and any party to the Transaction. We may in the future provide or seek to provide to Tilray and its affiliates and to the controlling stockholders of Tilray, investment banking and other financial services. In connection with the above-described services, we have received, and may in the future receive, compensation.
The issuance of this opinion was approved by an authorized committee of Imperial Capital.
Based on and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that, as of the date hereof, Exchange Ratio in the contemplated Transaction is fair, from a financial point of view, to Tilray.
Very truly yours,

IMPERIAL CAPITAL, LLC

APPENDIX “J”
COMPARISON OF RIGHTS OF APHRIA SHAREHOLDERS AND TILRAY STOCKHOLDERS
Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in the Glossary of Defined Terms found in Appendix “M” of this Circular.
The rights of Aphria Shareholders are governed by the OBCA and by the Aphria Articles and the Aphria By-Laws. Following the Arrangement, Aphria Shareholders who receive Tilray Shares as part of the Arrangement will become Tilray Stockholders and as such their rights will be governed by Delaware Law and by the Revised Tilray Organizational Documents, as amended by the Certificate of Amendment, if the Tilray Charter Amendment Proposal is approved by the Tilray Stockholders.
The following is a summary of the material differences between the rights of (i) Aphria Shareholders under the Aphria Articles and Aphria By-Laws; and (ii) Tilray Stockholders under the Current Tilray Charter and the Current Tilray Bylaws; and (iii) the stockholders of the Combined Company under the Tilray Charter Amendment. This summary is not a complete comparison of rights that may be of interest, and Aphria Shareholders and Tilray Stockholders should therefore read the full text of the Aphria Articles and Aphria By-Laws under Aphria’s SEDAR issuer profile at www.sedar.com, the Current Tilray Charter and the Current Tilray Bylaws under Tilray’s EDGAR issuer profile at www.sec.gov, and the Tilray Charter Amendment attached hereto as Appendix “F”.
 
Aphria Shareholders Rights
(Pre-Arrangement)
Tilray Stockholder Rights
(Post-Arrangement)
Authorized Share Capital
Aphria’s authorized share capital consists of an unlimited number of common shares without par value.
Tilray’s authorized capital stock currently consists of three classes of shares designated, respectively, “Tilray Class 1 Common Stock,” “Tilray Class 2 Common Stock” and “Tilray Preferred Stock.” The previously outstanding shares of Class 1 Common Stock have been retired, and Tilray is prohibited from issuing additional shares of Class 1 Common Stock. The total number of shares that Tilray will be authorized to issue is 900,000,000 shares of capital stock, of which 890,000,000 will be Tilray Class 2 Common Stock, and 10,000,000 shares will be Tilray Preferred Stock. The Tilray Class 1 Common Stock, the Tilray Class 2 Common Stock, and the Tilray Preferred Stock, all have a par value of $0.0001 per share.
 
 
 
 
 
The Current Tilray Charter provides that, as a result of the automatic conversion of the outstanding shares of Class 1 Common Stock to Class 2 Common Stock, Tilray is prohibited from reissuing any shares of Tilray Class 1 Common Stock.
 
 
 
Voting Rights
Each Aphria Shareholder is entitled to receive notice of and attend all meetings of shareholders and to vote thereat. At all meetings at which notice must be given to Aphria Shareholders, each Aphria Shareholder are entitled to one vote in respect of each Aphria Share held by such Aphria Shareholder.
Each holder of shares of Tilray Class 2 Common Stock is entitled to one vote for each share thereof held.

Shareholder Approval of Business Combinations; Fundamental Changes
Certain fundamental changes such as amendments to articles, certain by-law amendments, certain amalgamations (other than with certain affiliated corporations), continuances to another jurisdiction and sales, leases or exchanges of all or substantially all of the property of a corporation (other than in the ordinary course of business) and other extraordinary corporate actions such as the winding up of the corporation and arrangements (if ordered by a court) are required to be approved by special resolution.
Under Delaware Law, a merger, consolidation, sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the property of a corporation not in the usual and regular course of the corporation’s business, or a dissolution of the corporation, is generally required to be approved by the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote on the matter, unless the certificate of incorporation provides for a greater vote.
 
 
 
 
Under the OBCA, a “special resolution” is a resolution: (i) passed by not less than two thirds of the votes cast by the shareholders who voted in respect of the resolution at a meeting duly called and held for that purpose; or (ii) consented to in writing by each shareholder entitled to vote on the resolution or the shareholder’s attorney authorized in writing. In certain cases, a special resolution to approve an extraordinary corporate action is also required to be approved separately by the holders of a class or series of shares, including in certain cases a class or series of shares not otherwise carrying voting rights (unless in certain cases the share provisions with respect to such class or series of shares provides otherwise).
In addition, mergers in which one corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity owns 90% or more of each class of shares of a second corporation that would otherwise be entitled to vote on a merger may be completed without the vote of the second corporation’s board of directors or stockholders. Delaware Law does not contain a procedure directly analogous to a plan of arrangement under the OBCA.
 
 
 
 
 
See also “Special Vote Required for Combinations with Interested Shareholders” section below describing certain restrictions on business combinations with interested Tilray Stockholders.
 
 
 
 
In addition, the OBCA provides that, where it is not practicable for a corporation (that is not an insolvent corporation) to effect such a fundamental change under any other provision contemplated under the OBCA, the corporation may apply to a court for an order approving an arrangement. In general, a plan of arrangement is approved by a corporation’s board of directors and then is submitted to a court for approval. It is not unusual for a corporation in such circumstances to apply to a court initially for an interim order governing various procedural matters prior to calling any shareholder meeting to consider the proposed arrangement. The court determines to whom

(Post-Arrangement)
 
notice must be given and whether, and in what manner, approval of any person is to be obtained and it also determines whether any shareholders may dissent from the proposed arrangement and receive payment of the fair value of their shares. Following compliance with the procedural steps contemplated in any such interim order (including obtaining shareholder approval), the court would conduct a final hearing and approve or reject the proposed arrangement.
 
 
 
 
 
Subject to approval by the persons entitled to notice and to issuance of the final order, articles of arrangement are executed and filed by the corporation. The articles of arrangement must contain details of the plan, the court’s approval and the manner in which the plan was approved, if so required by the court order. Finally, the articles of arrangement are filed with the Director, who then issues a certificate of arrangement. The arrangement becomes effective on the date shown in the certificate of arrangement.
 
 
 
 
Anti-Takeover Statutes
The OBCA does not contain a comparable provision to Section 203 of the Delaware Law.
Section 203 of the Delaware Law generally prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination with an interested stockholder for a period of three years following the date that such person became an interested stockholder, unless (1) prior to such time, the board of directors of such corporation approves the transaction by which that the person becomes an interested stockholder, (2) upon the consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the outstanding voting stock of such corporation at the time of the transaction commenced (excluding voting stock owned by directors who are also officers and certain employee stock plans), or (3) the business combination is approved by the board of directors and at a meeting of stockholders, not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder. Generally, a “business combination” is defined to include a merger, consolidation, a sale of assets and other transactions resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder and an “interested

stockholder” is a person that owns (or is an affiliate or associate of the corporation and within the prior three years did own) 15% or more of a corporation’s voting stock, and the affiliates and associates of any such person. These restrictions do not apply if, among other things, the corporation’s certificate of incorporation contains a provision electing not to be governed by Section 203.
 
 
 
 
Such matters as take-over bids, issuer bids or self tenders, going-private transactions and transactions with directors, officers, significant shareholders and other related parties to which Aphria is a party are subject to regulation by Canadian provincial securities legislation and administrative policies and rules of Canadian securities administrators. Such legislation and administrative policies and rules may impose shareholder approval requirements separate and apart from the OBCA.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Tilray has not made such an election and thus is currently subject to Section 203 of the Delaware Law.
 
 
 
Special Vote Required for Combinations with Interested Shareholders
The OBCA does not contain a provision comparable to Section 203 of the Delaware Law with respect to business combinations.
See “Anti-Takeover Statutes” section above.
 
 
 
 
 
Depending on the breakdown of stockholders of the Combined Company from time to time, MI 61-101 may apply. MI 61-101 contains detailed requirements in connection with special transactions, including “related party transactions.” A related party transaction means, generally, any transaction by which an issuer, directly or indirectly, consummates one or more specified transactions with a related party, including purchasing or disposing of an asset, issuing securities or assuming liabilities. “Related party” as defined in MI 61-101 includes: (i) directors and senior officers of the issuer; (ii) holders of voting securities of the issuer carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to all the issuer’s outstanding voting securities; and (iii) holders of a sufficient number of any securities of the issuer to materially affect control of the issuer.

Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”) contains detailed requirements in connection with special transactions, including “related party transactions.” A related party transaction means, generally, any transaction by which an issuer, directly or indirectly, consummates one or more specified transactions with a related party, including purchasing or disposing of an asset, issuing securities or assuming liabilities. “Related party” as defined in MI 61-101 includes: (i) directors and senior officers of the issuer; (ii) holders of voting securities of the issuer carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to all the issuer’s outstanding voting securities; and (iii) holders of a sufficient number of any securities of the issuer to materially affect control of the issuer.

MI 61-101 requires, subject to certain exceptions, specific detailed disclosure in the proxy circular sent to shareholders in connection with a related party transaction where a meeting is required and, subject to certain exceptions, the preparation of a formal valuation of the subject matter of the related party transaction and any non-cash consideration offered in connection therewith. A summary of the valuation must be included in the proxy circular. MI 61-101 also requires, subject to certain exceptions, that an issuer not engage in a related party transaction unless the disinterested shareholders of the issuer have approved the related party transaction by a simple majority of the votes cast.
 
 
 
 
Appraisal Rights; Rights to Dissent
Registered Aphria Shareholders are entitled to dissent the Arrangement in the manner provided in section 185 of the OBCA.
Under Delaware Law, stockholders are entitled to exercise appraisal rights under certain circumstances in connections with mergers and consolidations. Under Delaware Law, a stockholder of a corporation does not have appraisal rights in connection with a merger or consolidation, if, among other things: (i) the corporation’s shares are listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 stockholders and certain types of consideration are received in the merger or consolidation; or (ii) the corporation will be the surviving corporation of the merger and the merger is undertaken pursuant to certain provisions of the Delaware law. Delaware Law grants appraisal rights only in the case of mergers or consolidations and not in the case of a sale or transfer of assets or a purchase of

assets for shares (unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation).
 
 
 
 
The OBCA provides that shareholders of a corporation are entitled to exercise dissent rights in respect of certain matters and to be paid the fair value of their shares in connection therewith. Such matters include, among others: (i) an amalgamation with another corporation (other than with certain affiliated corporations); (ii) an amendment to the corporation’s articles to add, change or remove any provisions restricting or constraining the issue, transfer or ownership of shares of the class in respect of which a shareholder is dissenting; (iii) an amendment to the corporation’s articles to add, change or remove any restriction on the business or businesses that the corporation may carry on; (iv) a continuance under the laws of another jurisdiction; (v) a sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the property of the corporation other than in the ordinary course of business; and (vi) a court order permitting a shareholder to dissent in connection with an application to the court for an order approving an arrangement proposed by the corporation.
 
 
 
 
 
 
However, except for mergers undertaken pursuant to certain provisions of the Delaware Law, a stockholder is entitled to appraisal rights in the case of a merger or consolidation if the stockholder is required to accept in exchange for the shares anything other than: (i) shares of the corporation surviving or resulting from the merger or consolidation; (ii) shares of any other corporation that on the effective date of the merger or consolidation will be either listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 stockholders; (iii) cash instead of fractional shares of the corporation; or (iv) any combination of the foregoing.
 
 
 
Oppression Remedy
The OBCA’s oppression remedy enables a court to make any order, both interim and final, to rectify the matters complained of, if the court is satisfied upon application by a complainant (as defined below) that: (i) any act or omission of the corporation or an affiliate effects or threatens to effect a result; (ii) the business or affairs of the corporation or an affiliate are or have been or are threatened
Although Delaware Law does not contain a statutory “oppression” remedy, stockholders may bring equitable claims against persons owing them fiduciary duties for breaches thereof.

to be carried on or conducted in a manner; or (iii) the powers of the directors of the corporation or an affiliate are or have been or are threatened to be exercised in a manner, that is oppressive or unfairly prejudicial to or that unfairly disregards the interests of any shareholder, creditor, director or officer of the corporation.
 
 
 
 
 
A “complainant” means: (i) a present (or former) registered holder or beneficial owner of securities of a corporation or any of its affiliates; (ii) a present (or former) officer or director of the corporation or any of its affiliates; and (iii) any other person who, in the discretion of the court, is a proper person to make such application.
 
 
 
 
 
The oppression remedy provides the court with extremely broad and flexible jurisdiction to intervene in corporate affairs to protect shareholders and other complainants. The court may order a corporation to pay the interim expenses of a complainant seeking an oppression remedy, but the complainant may be held accountable for such interim costs on final disposition of the complaint (as in the case of a derivative action). The complainant is not required to give security for costs in an oppression action.
 
 
 
 
 
The OBCA provides that if, within 120 days after the date of a take-over bid made to shareholders of a corporation, the bid is accepted by the holders of not less than 90% of the shares (other than the shares held by the offeror or an affiliate of the offeror) of any class of shares to which the bid relates, the offeror is entitled to acquire (on the same terms on which the offeror acquired shares under the take-over bid) the shares held by those holders of shares of that class who did not accept the take-over bid. If a shareholder who did not accept the take-over bid (a dissenting offeree) does not respond to an offeror’s notice with respect to a compulsory acquisition (as described in the preceding sentence), that shareholder may require the offeror to acquire those shares on the same terms under which the offeror acquired the shares owned by the shareholders who accepted the takeover bid or demand payment of the fair value of the shares.

Pre-Emptive Rights
Under the OBCA, holders of a class or series of shares in a corporation do not have pre-emptive rights to subscribe for or purchase any additional shares of that class or series or of another class or series, unless such rights are so provided in the articles of the corporation or in a unanimous shareholder agreement.
Under Section 102 of the Delaware Law, stockholders of a corporation do not have pre-emptive rights to subscribe for or purchase any additional issue of shares or to any security convertible into such shares unless, and to the extent that, such right is expressly included in the corporation’s certificate of incorporation. The Current Tilray Charter confers no such pre-emptive rights on the holders of Tilray Class 2 Common Stock.
 
 
 
Shareholder Action by Consent Without a Meeting
Under the OBCA, a shareholder action without a meeting may be taken by written resolution signed by all the shareholders who would be entitled to vote on the relevant issue at a meeting (other than where a written statement is submitted by a director or auditor in relation to their resignation/removal or (for directors) opposing any proposed action or resolution).
Under Section 228 of the Delaware Law, unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, any action that can be taken at a meeting of stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote if a consent, in writing or by electronic transmission, to the action is signed by the holders of outstanding stock having at least the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take the action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.
 
 
 
 
 
The Current Tilray Charter and the Current Tilray Bylaws provide that no action may be taken by Tilray Stockholders except at an annual or special meeting of Tilray Stockholders and no action may be taken by the Tilray Stockholders by written consent or electronic transmission.
 
 
 
Requisition of Shareholders’ Meetings
Under the OBCA, the holders of not less than 5% of the issued shares of a corporation that carry the right to vote at a meeting sought to be held may requisition the directors to call a meeting of shareholders for the purposes stated in the requisition. Upon meeting the technical requirements set out in the OBCA for making such a request, the directors of the corporation must call a meeting of shareholders. If they do not call such meeting within 21 days after receiving the request, subject to certain exceptions, any shareholder who signed the request may call the special meeting.
Under Delaware Law, a special meeting of stockholders may be called only by the board of directors or by persons authorized in the certificate of incorporation or the bylaws.
 
 
 
 
 
The Current Tilray Bylaws provide that special meetings of the Tilray Stockholders may be called, for any purpose as is a

proper matter for stockholder action under Delaware Law, by: (i) the chairman of the Tilray Board; (ii) the chief executive officer; or (iii) a majority of the authorized number of directors. Special meetings of the Tilray Stockholders will be held at such place, on such date, and at such time as fixed by the Tilray Board.
 
 
 
Shareholder Quorum
Under the OBCA, a corporation’s by-laws may specify the number of shares with voting rights attached thereto which must be present, or represented by proxy, in order to constitute a quorum for the transaction of any business at any meeting of the shareholders.
Under Delaware Law, a corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws may specify the number of shares or the voting power that must be present, or represented by proxy, in order to constitute a quorum for the transaction of any business at any meeting of the stockholders
 
 
 
 
The Aphria By-Laws provide that a quorum of shareholders is present at a meeting of shareholders if the holders of not less than 10% of the shares entitled to vote at the meeting are present in person or represented by proxy, and at least two persons entitled to vote at the meeting are present at the meeting.
Pursuant to Section 216 of the Delaware Law, in no event, may a quorum consist of less than one-third of the shares entitled to vote at a meeting except that, where a separate vote by a class or series of classes or series is required, a quorum must consist of no less than one-third of the shares of such class or series.
 
 
 
 
 
The Current Tilray Bylaws provide that the presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares entitled to vote will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business.
 
 
 
Distributions and Dividends; Repurchases and Redemptions
Under the OBCA, a corporation may pay a dividend by issuing fully paid shares of the corporation. A corporation may also pay a dividend in money or property unless there are reasonable grounds for believing that: (i) the corporation is, or would after the payment be, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due; or (ii) the realizable value of the corporation’s assets would thereby be less than the aggregate of its liabilities and stated capital of all classes.
Under Delaware Law, a corporation may, subject to any restrictions in its certificate of incorporation, pay dividends out of surplus and, if there is no surplus, out of net profits for the current and/or the preceding fiscal year, unless the net assets of the corporation are less than the capital represented by issued and outstanding shares having a preference on asset distributions. “Surplus” is defined as the excess of the net assets over capital, as such capital may be adjusted by the board of directors.
 
 
 
 
Under the OBCA, the purchase or other acquisition by a corporation of its shares is generally subject to solvency tests similar to those applicable to the payment of dividends (set out above).
 
 
 
A Delaware corporation may purchase or redeem shares of any class except when its capital is impaired or would be impaired by

A corporation may, however, purchase or redeem out of capital, shares that are entitled upon any distribution of its assets to a preference over another class or, if no such shares are outstanding, any series of its shares if the shares are to be retired and the capital reduced.
 
The OBCA provides that no rights, privileges, restrictions or conditions attached to a series of shares will confer on a series a priority in respect of dividends or return of capital over any other series of shares of the same class that are then outstanding.
 
 
 
 
Number of Directors
The OBCA provides that a corporation must have one or more directors, but a corporation whose shares are publicly traded must have not fewer than three directors. At least one-third of the directors of corporation whose shares are publicly traded must not be officers or employees of the corporation or its affiliates.
Delaware Law provides that the board of directors of a corporation must consist of one or more members.
 
 
 
 
 
The Current Tilray Charter provides that the number of directors will be determined by the board of directors and will be fixed exclusively by resolutions adopted by a majority of the authorized number of directors constituting the Tilray Board.
 
 
 
 
The Aphria Articles provide that Aphria may have a minimum of three and a maximum of 15 directors, with the actual number to be determined from time to time by the Aphria Board.
 
 
 
 
 
 
The Tilray Board currently consists of 5 directors.
 
The Aphria Board currently consists of 7 directors.
 
 
 
 
Standard for Election of Directors
The election of directors is subject to Aphria’s majority voting policy. The Aphria Board adopted a majority voting policy providing that in an uncontested election of directors, any nominee who receives a greater number of votes “withheld” than votes “for” shall tender their resignation to the chair of the Aphria Board promptly after the meeting of shareholders. Aphria’s Nominating and Governance Committee will consider all factors deemed relevant and will
Directors are elected at the annual meeting of stockholders and persons are not eligible for election or re-election as a director unless such person is nominated by or at the direction of the Tilray Board or by any stockholder who was a stockholder of record at the time of giving the stockholder’s notice, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who compiled with relevant notice procedures. The nominees receiving the most “for” votes from the holders of shares

present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the election of directors will be elected.
 
 
 
Vacancies on the Board of Directors
Under the OBCA, a vacancy among the directors created by the removal of a director may be filled at a meeting of shareholders at which the director is removed. The OBCA also allows a vacancy on the board of directors to be filled by a quorum of directors, except when the vacancy results from an increase in the number or minimum or maximum number of directors or from a failure to elect the number required to be elected at each shareholder meeting.
Under Delaware Law, vacancies and newly created directorships may be filled by a majority of the remaining directors, although less than a quorum, unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation or bylaws.
 
 
 
 
 
The Current Tilray Charter provides that any vacancy on the Tilray Board resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, removal or other causes and any newly created directorships will, unless the Tilray Board determines by resolution that any such vacancies or newly created directorships are to be filled by stockholders, be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the board of directors then in office, even though less than a quorum of board of directors and not by the stockholders.
 
 
 
Director Qualifications
The OBCA provides that at least 25% of the directors (or if a corporation has less than four directors, at least one director) must be a resident Canadian.
Delaware Law requires that directors of Delaware corporations be natural persons.
 
 
There are no director residency requirements under Delaware Law comparable to those of the OBCA, but a corporation can prescribe qualifications for directors under its certificate of incorporation or bylaws. Neither the Current Tilray Charter nor the Current Tilray Bylaws provide for any such residency qualifications for directors.
 
 
 
Terms of Directors
The OBCA provides a director not elected for an expressly stated term ceases to hold office at the close of the first annual meeting of shareholders following the director’s election.
The Current Tilray Charter and the Current Tilray Bylaws provide that the directors are designated as Class I, Class II and Class III directors. At each annual meeting of stockholders, directors will be elected for a term of three years to succeed the directors of the class whose terms expire at such

annual meeting. Notwithstanding this, each director will serve until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal.
 
 
 
 
The Aphria Articles and the Aphria By-Laws do not specify a term for which directors must hold office.
 
 
 
 
Removal of Directors
The OBCA provides that the shareholders of a corporation may by ordinary resolution at an annual or special meeting remove any director or directors from office, subject to the articles of a corporation providing for cumulative voting.
Under Delaware Law, except in the case of a corporation with a classified board of directors or with cumulative voting, any director or the entire board of directors may be removed, with or without cause, by the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at an election of directors.
 
 
 
 
 
In the case of a corporation with a classified board of directors, stockholders may remove a director only for cause, unless the certificate of incorporation otherwise.
 
 
 
 
 
Under Tilray’s Organizational Documents, any individual director or directors may be removed with cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the voting power of all then-outstanding shares of capital stock of Tilray entitled to vote generally at an election of directors.
 
 
 
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Under the OBCA, a corporation may indemnify a director or officer, a former director or officer or a person who acts or acted at the corporation’s request as a director or officer, or an individual acting in a similar capacity, of another entity (an “indemnifiable person”) against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by him or her in respect of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding in which he or she is involved because of that association with the corporation or other entity, if: (i) the individual acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of such corporation or the other entity, as the case may be; and (ii) 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 individual’s conduct was lawful. An indemnifiable person may require the corporation to indemnify the individual in
Under Delaware Law, a corporation is generally permitted to indemnify its directors and officers against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with a third-party action, or a derivative action, and against expenses actually and reasonably incurred in the defense or settlement of such action (with certain restrictions applicable to indemnification of expenses in a derivative action), provided that there is a determination that the individual acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the individual’s conduct was unlawful. Indemnification determinations for current directors and officers must be made by: (i) a majority of the disinterested directors, even though less than a quorum; (ii) a committee of disinterested directors designated by a majority vote of disinterested directors, even though less

respect of all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by the individual in connection with the defense of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding to which the individual is subject because of the individual’s association with the corporation or other entity, as the case may be, if the individual was 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 the individual fulfills the conditions set out in (i) and (ii) above. A corporation may, with the approval of a court, also indemnify an indemnifiable person against all costs, charges and expenses in respect of an action by or on behalf of the corporation or other entity to procure a judgment in its favour, to which such person is made a party by reason of being or having been a director or an officer of the corporation or other entity, if he or she fulfills the conditions set forth in (i) and (ii) above.
than a quorum; (iii) independent legal counsel if there are no disinterested directors or if such directors so direct; or (iv) the stockholders.
 
 
 
 
 
Delaware Law requires indemnification of directors and officers for expenses relating to a successful defense on the merits or otherwise of a derivative or third-party action. Under Delaware Law, a corporation may advance expenses relating to the defense of any proceeding to directors, officers, employees, and agents contingent in certain circumstances upon those individuals’ entering into an undertaking to repay any advances if it is determined ultimately that those individuals are not entitled to be indemnified.
 
 
 
 
 
The Current Tilray Bylaws provide that Tilray will indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware Law or other applicable Law, though Tilray will not be required to indemnify any director or officer in connection with any proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless: (i) such indemnification is expressly required to be made by law; (ii) the proceeding was authorized by the Tilray Board; (iii) such indemnification is provided by Tilray, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in it; or (iv) such indemnification is required to be made in accordance with the Current Tilray Bylaws.

The Aphria By-Laws provide that Aphria will indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by the OBCA the following: (i) any director or officer of Aphria; (ii) any former director or officer of Aphria; (iii) any individual who acts or acted at Aphria’s request as a director or officer, or in a similar capacity, of another entity, and (iv) their respective heirs and legal representatives. The Aphria By-Laws also permit Aphria to execute agreements in favour of the foregoing persons evidencing the terms of the indemnity.
 
 
 
 
Limitation on Liability of Directors
A director is not liable for breach of this duty of care under the OBCA if he or she relies in good faith on: (i) financial statements of the corporation represented to him or her by an officer of the corporation or in a written report of the auditor of the corporation fairly to reflect the financial condition of the corporation; (ii) an interim or other financial report of the corporation represented to him or her by an officer of the corporation to present fairly the financial position of the corporation in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles; (iii) a report or advice of an officer or employee of the corporation where it is reasonable in the circumstances to rely on the report or advice; or (iv) a report of a lawyer, accountant, engineer, appraiser or other person whose profession lends credibility to a statement made by any such person.
Delaware Law permits the adoption of a provision in a corporation’s certificate of incorporation limiting or eliminating the monetary liability of a director to a corporation or its stockholders by reason of a director’s breach of the fiduciary duty of care. Delaware Law does not permit any limitation of the liability of a director for: (i) breaching the duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders; (ii) failing to act in good faith; (iii) engaging in intentional misconduct or a known violation of law; (iv) any transaction in which a director obtains an improper personal benefit from the corporation; or (v) willfully or negligently paying a dividend or approving a redemption or repurchase of shares that was illegal under applicable law.
 
 
 
 
 
The Current Tilray Charter eliminates liability of directors of Tilray for monetary damages to the fullest extent under applicable law.
 
 
 
 
The Aphria By-Laws provide that subject to the OBCA and other applicable law, no director or officer is liable for: (i) the acts, omissions,receipts, failures, neglects or defaults of any other director, officer or employee; (ii) joining in any receipt or other act for conformity; (iii) any loss, damage or expense happening to Aphria through the insufficiency or deficiency of title to any property acquired for or on behalf of Aphria; (iv) the insufficiency or deficiency of any security in or upon which any of the monies of Aphria are invested; (v) any loss or damage arising from the bankruptcy, insolvency or tortious acts of any person

with whom any of the monies, securities or effects of Aphria are deposited; or (vi) any loss occasioned by any error of judgment or oversight on their part, or for any loss, damage, misfortune whatever which happens in the execution of the duties of their duties in their office or in relation to their office.
 
 
 
 
Interested Director Transactions; Corporate Opportunity
Under the OBCA, a director or officer is required to disclose any conflict of interest in writing to the corporation or request to have entered in the minutes of meetings of directors the nature and extent of his or her interest. Subject to certain exceptions, a director who has a conflict of interest is not permitted to attend any part of a meeting of directors during which the relevant contract or transaction giving rise to the conflict of interest is discussed and is not permitted to vote on any resolution to approve of the contract or transaction.
Under Section 144 of the Delaware Law, certain contracts or transactions in which one or more of a corporation’s directors has an interest are not void or voidable solely because of such interest, provided that one of the following conditions is met: (i) obtaining majority approval in good faith of the disinterested directors following full disclosure of the material facts; (ii) obtaining majority approval in good faith by the stockholders following full disclosure of the material facts; or (iii)  the transaction is fair to the corporation. Under Section 122(17) of the Delaware Law, every corporation has the ability to renounce in its certificate of incorporation or by board action any interest or expectancy of the corporation in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, specific business opportunities that are presented to the corporation or to the officers, directors or stockholders. The Current Tilray Charter provides that Tilray renounces any interest or expectancy of Tilray or any of its affiliated companies in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any “dual opportunity” (as defined in the Current Tilray Charter) about which a “dual role person” (as defined in the Current Tilray Charter) acquires knowledge.
 
 
 
Derivative Actions
Under the OBCA, a shareholder may apply to the court for leave to bring an action in the name of and on behalf of a corporation or any of its subsidiaries, or to intervene in an existing action to which such body corporate is a party, for the purpose of prosecuting, defending or discontinuing the action on behalf of the body corporate. No action may be brought and no intervention in an action may be made unless a court is satisfied that: (i) the directors of the corporation or its subsidiary will not bring, diligently prosecute or defend or discontinue the action; (ii) the shareholder is acting in
Under Section 327 of the Delaware Law, a stockholder bringing a derivative suit must have been a stockholder at the time of the wrong complained of or the stockholder must have received shares in the corporation by operation of law from a person who was such a stockholder at the time of the wrong complained of. In addition, the stockholder must remain a stockholder throughout the litigation. There is no requirement under Delaware Law to advance the expenses of a lawsuit to a stockholder bringing a derivative suit.

good faith; and (iii) it appears to be in the interests of the corporation or its subsidiary that the action be brought, prosecuted, defended or discontinued.
 
 
 
 
 
Under the OBCA, the court in a derivative action may make any order it determines to be appropriate. In addition, under the OBCA, a court may order a corporation or its subsidiary to pay the shareholder’s interim costs, including reasonable legal fees and disbursements. Although the shareholder may be held accountable for the interim costs on final disposition of the complaint, he or she is not required to give security for costs in a derivative action.
 
 
 
 
Advance Notification Requirements for Proposals of Shareholders
Under the OBCA, a proposal with respect to the nomination of candidates for election to the board of directors may be made at or before any annual meetings of the corporation.
Delaware Law does not require advance notice for stockholder nominations and proposals, but a Delaware corporation may require such advance notice pursuant to its bylaws.
 
 
 
 
An OBCA corporation may choose to adopt advance notice provisions under its by-laws. Aphria has adopted an advance notice by-law, where only persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set out in such by-law are eligible for election as directors to the Aphria Board. In the case of an annual meeting of shareholders, a nomination made by a nominating shareholder must be made not less than the close of business on the 30th day and not earlier than the opening of business on the 65th day before the date of the meeting, provided; however, that if the first public announcement made by Aphria of the date of the annual meeting is less than 50 days prior to the meeting date, not less than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which the first public announcement of the date of such meeting is made by the Aphria. In the case of a special meeting (which is not also an annual meeting) of shareholders called for any purpose, including the election of directors to the Aphria Board, not later than the close of business on the 15th day following the day on which the first public announcement of the date of the special meeting is made by Aphria.
 
 
 
The Current Tilray Bylaws require Tilray Stockholders to provide timely notice in writing to its secretary for director

nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting of Tilray Stockholders and such other business must otherwise be a proper matter for Tilray Stockholder action. To be timely, such notice must be received between 90 days and 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting unless the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 30 days after such anniversary date, in which event, notice by a Tilray Stockholder to be timely must be received not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made.
 
 
 
 
With respect to a shareholder proposal to nominate directors, under the OBCA, a shareholder or persons who have the support of persons who, represent, in the aggregate, not less than 5% of the shares or 5% of the shares at a class or series of shares of the corporation entitled to vote at the meeting to which the proposal is to be presented may submit notice to a corporation of any matter that such shareholder or shareholders propose to raise at a meeting of shareholders, which notice must be provided not later than 60 days prior to the anniversary of the last previous annual meeting of shareholders, if the proposal is to be raised at an annual meeting, and note less than 60 days prior to the date of a meeting other than the annual meeting, if the proposal is to be raised at a meeting other than the annual meeting. Such a proposal may not be with respect to a personal claim or redress a personal grievance against the corporation, its directors, officers or other shareholders and must relate in a significant way to the business or affairs of the corporation, if a notice complies with the requirements of the OBCA, the corporation is required to include a statement relating thereto and not exceeding 500 words in the management proxy circular for the relevant meeting of shareholders. If a corporation refuses to accept a notice that otherwise complies with the related provisions of the

OBCA, the shareholder or shareholders who provided such notice and proposal may apply to a court to make any order that it deems fit, including restraining the holding of a meeting at which it was sought to bring forth such a proposal.
 
 
 
 
Proxy Access for Shareholder Nominations
The only way for a registered shareholder to solicit proxies for shareholders and board nominees is to: (i) nominate the individual, after complying with advance notice by-laws; or (ii) submit a shareholder proposal in accordance with OBCA requirements.
Nominations of persons for election to the Tilray Board or the proposal of business to be considered by the stockholders may be made at an annual meeting of stockholders by any Tilray stockholder who was a stockholder of record at the time of giving the stockholder’s notice, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who complied with the required notice procedures. This is the exclusive means for a stockholder to make nominations and submit other business (other than matters properly included in Tilray’s notice of meeting of stockholders and proxy statement) before an annual meeting of stockholders.

Inspection of Books and Records
Under the OBCA, shareholders, creditors, and their representatives, among others, may examine certain of the records of a corporation during usual business hours and take copies of extracts free of charge and, if the corporation is publicly traded any other person may do so upon payment of a reasonable fee.
Under Delaware Law, any stockholder, in person or by attorney or other agent, may, upon written demand under oath stating the purpose thereof, have the right during the usual hours for business to inspect for any proper purpose the corporation’s stock ledger, a list of its stockholders, and its other books and records and to make copies or extracts therefrom.
 
 
 
Amendment of Governing Documents
Under the OBCA, any change to the articles of a corporation must be approved by special resolution. A “special resolution” is a resolution passed by a majority of not less than two-thirds of the votes cast by the shareholders who voted in respect of that resolution, or signed by all the shareholders entitled to vote on that resolution. If a proposed amendment requires approval by special resolution, the holders of shares of a class (or of a series of a class, if the proposed amendment would affect such series differently from the other series of
Under Section 242 of the Delaware Law, a corporation’s certificate of incorporation may be amended if: (i) the board of directors sets forth the proposed amendment in a resolution, declares the advisability of the amendment and directs that it be submitted to a vote at a meeting of stockholders; and (ii) subject to certain exceptions, the holders of a majority of shares entitled to vote on the matter adopt the amendment, unless the certificate of incorporation requires the vote of a greater number of shares.

shares of such class) are entitled to vote separately as a class or series if the proposed amendment affects the class or series as specified in the OBCA whether or not the class or series otherwise carries the right to vote.
 
 
 
 
 
 
In addition, under Delaware Law, class voting rights exist with respect to amendments to the certificate of incorporation that (i) subject to certain exceptions, increase or decrease the aggregate number of authorized shares of such class, (ii) increase or decrease the par value of the shares of such class, or (iii) adversely affect the terms of the shares of a class, provided that if the amendment adversely affects one or more series of a class but not the entire class, then only the series of shares so affected are entitled to vote. Class voting rights do not exist as to other extraordinary matters, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Under Delaware Law, the board of directors may amend a corporation’s bylaws if so authorized in the certificate of incorporation.
 
 
 
 
Under the OBCA, a corporation’s board of directors may repeal any by-laws by passing a by-law that contains a provision to that effect. Where the directors make, amend or repeal a by-law, they are required under the OBCA to submit the by-law, amendment or repeal to the shareholders at the next meeting of shareholders and the shareholders may confirm, reject or amend the by-law, amendment or repeal by an ordinary resolution, which is a resolution passed by a majority of the votes cast by shareholders who voted in respect of the resolution. If a by-law, amendment or repeal is rejected by the shareholders, or the directors of a corporation do not submit a by-law, an amendment or a repeal to the shareholders at the next meeting of shareholders, then such by-law, amendment or repeal will cease to be effective and no subsequent resolution of the directors to make, amend or repeal a by-law having substantially the same purpose or effect is effective until it is confirmed or confirmed as amended by the shareholders.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF TILRAY
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
On December 15, 2020, Tilray, Inc. (“Tilray”) and Aphria Inc. (“Aphria”), entered into an Arrangement Agreement, under which the businesses of the two companies will be combined pursuant to a Plan of Arrangement (the “merger transaction”).
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements (the “pro forma financial statements”) are based on the historical consolidated financial statements of Tilray and Aphria, as adjusted to give effect to the merger transaction. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as at December 31, 2020 (the “pro forma balance sheet”) gives effect to the merger transaction as if it had occurred on December 31, 2020. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of net loss for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the “pro forma statement of net loss”) gives effect to the merger transaction as if it had occurred on January 1, 2020.
The transaction accounting adjustments consist of those necessary to account for the merger transaction as a reverse acquisition in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).
The pro forma financial statements do not necessarily reflect what the combined company’s financial condition or results of operations would have been had the merger transaction occurred on the dates indicated. They also may not be useful in predicting the future financial condition and results of operations of the combined company. The actual financial condition and results of operations of the combined company may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected herein due to a variety of factors.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
(in ‘000 of United States dollars, except for shares, warrants, per share amounts and per warrant amounts, unless otherwise noted)
1.
Basis of Presentation
The pro forma financial statements are based on the historical consolidated financial statements of Tilray and Aphria, adjusted to give effect to the merger transaction, and should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements from which they are derived. Pro forma adjustments are limited to the transaction accounting adjustments that reflect the accounting for the merger transaction in accordance with US GAAP.
The pro forma financial statements were prepared using the purchase method of accounting. The merger transaction is accounted for as a reverse acquisition in which Tilray is the legal acquirer and Aphria is the acquirer for accounting purposes. Accordingly, the pro forma financial statements represent a continuation of the financial statements of Aphria; the assets and liabilities of Aphria are presented at their historical carrying values and the assets and liabilities of Tilray are recognized on the effective date of the merger transaction and measured at fair value.
The pro forma financial statements are presented in United States dollars (“USD”) and prepared in accordance with US GAAP. Since Aphria’s historical consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars (“CAD” or “C$”) and prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), the historical financial information of Aphria used in the pro forma financial statements has been reconciled to US GAAP and translated into USD (note 6).
The pro forma balance sheet gives effect to the merger transaction as if it had occurred on December 31, 2020. The pro forma statement of net loss gives effect to the merger transaction as if it had occurred on January 1, 2020.
The pro forma balance sheet combines the audited consolidated balance sheet of Tilray as at December 31, 2020 with the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of financial position (balance sheet) of Aphria as at November 30, 2020. As the ending date of the fiscal period for Aphria differs from that of Tilray by more than 93 days, the unaudited pro forma statement of operations (statement of net loss) for the year ended December 31, 2020 was derived by combining financial information from the audited consolidated statement of net loss and comprehensive loss of Tilray for the year ended December 31, 2020 with financial information of Aphria for the twelve months ended November 30, 2020, which was constructed by subtracting: (i) the financial information from the unaudited consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended November 30, 2019; from (ii) the financial information from the audited consolidated statement of operations for the year ended May 31, 2020; and adding (iii) the financial information from the unaudited consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended November 30, 2020 (note 6). The financial statements of Aphria used to prepare the pro forma balance sheet and the pro forma statements of operations (statement of net loss) were prepared for the purpose of such pro forma financial statements and do not conform with the financial statements for Aphria included, or incorporated by reference, elsewhere in the Circular. Tilray’s audited consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 and audited consolidated statement of net loss and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2020 are included Part II, Item 8 - Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of Tilray’s Consolidated Financial Statements filed on Form 10-K with the SEC on February 19, 2021.
The assumptions and estimates underlying the adjustments to the pro forma financial statements are described in the accompanying notes.
The pro forma adjustments are preliminary, subject to further revision as additional information becomes available and additional analyses are performed. The pro forma adjustments have been made solely for the purpose of providing unaudited pro forma combined financial information and actual adjustment, when recorded, may differ materially.
The pro forma financial statements have been prepared for illustrative purposes only and may not be indicative of the operating results or financial condition that would have been achieved if the merger transaction had been completed on the dates or for the periods presented, nor do they purport to project the results of operations or financial position for any future period or as of any future date. In addition to the pro forma adjustments, various other factors will have an effect on the financial condition and results of operations after the completion of the merger transaction. The actual financial position and results of operations may differ materially from the pro forma amounts reflected herein due to a variety of factors.
The unaudited pro forma financial statements do not reflect operational and administrative cost savings that may be achieved as a result of the merger transaction.

Estimated Purchase Price
Tilray is the legal acquirer and, pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, will (i) exchange each outstanding Aphria common share for 0.8381 of a Tilray Class 2 common share (the “Exchange Ratio”), and (ii) exchange outstanding equity instruments exercisable into Aphria common shares for instruments with similar terms that are exercisable into Tilray Class 2 common shares, adjusted to reflect the Exchange Ratio.
However, since the merger transaction is being accounted for as a reverse acquisition (note 1), the purchase price is calculated as the fair value of the hypothetical consideration Aphria would have to issue to acquire Tilray’s outstanding equity instruments and obtain the same percentage of ownership interest in the combined entity that will result from the merger transaction.
The estimated purchase price of $3,381,289 is based on the number of equity instruments of Tilray outstanding at December 31, 2020, adjusted for the exercise of 6,290,000 warrants (note 3, 4H), and Aphria’s closing share price of $16.60 on February 3, 2021 (the “Measurement Date”). The purchase price will change based on fluctuations in Aphria’s share price and the number of equity instruments of Tilray outstanding on the effective date of the merger transaction. A 10% increase or decrease in Aphria’s share price would increase or decrease both the purchase price and goodwill by approximately $338,924, respectively, and a 25% increase or decrease in Aphria’s share price would increase or decrease both the purchase price and goodwill by approximately $847,299, respectively.
The following table summarizes the calculation of the purchase price hypothetically paid by Aphria (in thousands, except warrants, share and per share data):

Represents 158,456,087 Tilray Class 2 common stock outstanding at December 31, 2020 and 6,290,000 warrants exercised from Jan 1, 2021 to the Measurement Date (note H)
The estimated fair value of the Tilray stock-based compensation related to the precombinaion service period consisted of $91,089 related to Tilray stock options and $27,123 related to restricted share units (“RSUs”). The fair values of the RSUs included in the purchase price are estimated using the market share price of Aphria on the purchase price Measurement Date. The fair values of the options included in the purchase price are calculated using the Black Scholes model, using the following assumptions:
Volatility

Risk-free interest rate
0.03% to 0.96%
Expected term

Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation
A preliminary valuation analysis of the fair value of Tilray’s assets and liabilities has been performed at December 31, 2020, with the following exception:
The warrant liability has been valued at the Measurement Date, which reflects the exercise of 6,290,000 warrants between January 1, 2021 and the Measurement Date (note 2, 4H); and
The cash and cash equivalents balance at December 31, 2020 has been increased by $37,426 (note 4H) to reflect the cash received upon exercise of the warrants.

The final allocation could differ materially from the preliminary allocation used in the pro forma adjustments.

Pro Forma Adjustments
Adjustments to the pro forma financial statements are limited to those that reflect the accounting for the merger transaction in accordance with US GAAP. The pro forma financial statements give effect to the merger transaction as if it had occurred on December 31, 2020 for purposes of the pro forma balance sheet and January 1, 2020 for purposes of the pro forma statement of net loss.
The pro forma adjustments are as follows:
A – Purchase price
Records the purchase price consideration, which is the fair value of the equity interests hypothetically issued by Aphria to acquire Tilray (note 2).
B – Equity
Eliminates Tilray’s historical equity balances and reallocates Aprhia’s equity balances so the equity structure appearing in the pro forma balance sheet reflects the legal equity structure of Tilray, including the equity interests issued by Tilray to effect the merger transaction.

The $26 pro forma balance as part of the total estimated purchase price represents the $0.0001 par value of the estimated 265,504,347 of Tilray Class 2 common stock issued on the merger transaction.
C – Inventory
Increases Tilray’s inventory to a fair value of approximately $121,000, an increase of $27,355 from the carrying value. The fair value was determined based on the estimated selling price of the inventory, less the remaining manufacturing and selling costs and a normal profit margin on those manufacturing and selling efforts. After the merger transaction, the $27,355 step-up in inventory value will increase cost of sales over the following twelve months as the inventory is sold, which is reflected in the pro forma statement of net loss and represents a nonrecurring charge. The fair value calculation is preliminary and subject to change.
D – Property and equipment
Increases Tilray’s property and equipment to an estimated fair value of approximately $201,049, an overall increase of $1,490 from the carrying value. The overall increase represents an estimated increase of $2,110 relating to finance lease right-of-use assets (note 4E) offset by an estimated decrease of $620 to property and equipment. The estimated useful lives, excluding land, range from 4 to 27 years. The estimated fair value of property and equipment, excluding finance lease right-of-use assets is determined primarily using an income approach, which requires a forecast of expected future cash flows. After the merger transaction, the estimated impact of the combined change in the value and useful lives of property and equipment will be an estimated decrease in depreciation expense in the pro forma statement of net loss recognized through a $56 decrease in cost of sales and $798 decrease in depreciation and amortization expense. The estimated fair value and estimated useful life calculations are preliminary and subject to change.
The following table summarizes the changes in the estimated depreciation expense for property and equipment including finance lease right-of-use assets in the pro forma statement of net loss based on a straight-line method of depreciation:
Estimated annual depreciation expense:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The preliminary estimates of fair value and estimated useful lives will likely differ from the final amounts after completing a detailed valuation analysis, and the difference could have a material effect on the accompanying pro forma financial statements. A 10% change in the estimated fair value of property and equipment, excluding finance lease right-of-use assets, would cause a corresponding increase or decrease in the balance of goodwill. A 10% change would also cause the annual depreciation expense in the pro forma statement of net loss to increase or decrease by approximately $646, assuming a weighted average useful life of depreciable property and equipment of 18.4 years.
E – Leases
Included in Tilray’s property and equipment carrying value (note 4D) is $13,167 related to finance lease right-of-use assets. The carrying value has been adjusted to the corresponding carrying value of finance lease liabilities of $15,277, resulting in a pro forma increase of $2,110. The corresponding impact to depreciation expense is included in property and equipment (note 4D). The carrying value of Tilray’s operating lease right-of-use assets has been adjusted to the corresponding carrying value of operating lease liabilities of $18,259, resulting in a pro forma increase of $274. The finance and operating lease liabilities, and corresponding right-of-use assets may differ from the final amounts after completing the detailed incremental borrowing rate analysis.
F – Intangible assets
Increases Tilray’s intangible assets to an estimated fair value of approximately $1,063,000, an increase of $876,555 from the carrying value. As part of the preliminary valuation analysis, the identified intangible assets include distribution channels, customer relationships, know how, developed technology, licenses, brands and trademarks. The fair value of identifiable intangible assets is determined primarily using an income approach, which requires a forecast of expected future cash flows. For purposes of the preliminary fair value, the mid point of the estimated range has been used. After the merger transaction, the $876,555 increase in the value of intangible assets will increase amortization expense over the respective estimated useful lives, which is reflected in the pro forma income statement through a $27,898 increase in depreciation and amortization expenses.
The following table summarizes the estimated fair values (mid point) of Tilray’s identifiable intangible assets and, where applicable, their estimated useful lives:

corresponding increase or decrease in the balance of goodwill. A 10% change would also cause the annual amortization expense in the pro forma statement of net loss to increase or decrease by approximately $3,890, assuming an overall weighted average useful life of definite-lived intangible assets of 12.7 years.
G – Goodwill
Adjusts goodwill in the pro forma balance sheet as follows:
Reversal of Tilray's historical goodwill
$(166,915)
Goodwill recognized in purchase accounting
2,589,611
Pro forma increase to goodwill
$2,422,696
H – Warrant liability
Increases Tilray’s warrant liability to an estimated fair value of approximately $296,032, an increase of $175,385 from the carrying value to reflect the estimated fair value at the Measurement Date. The 19,000,000 outstanding warrants at December 31, 2020 are reduced for the additional exercise of 6,290,000 warrants at a price of $5.95 from January 1, 2021 to the Measurement Date. The resulting increase in cash on exercise of $37,426 is an adjustment to the carrying value of cash in the purchase price allocation. The remaining 12,710,000 warrants outstanding on the Measurement Date have an estimated fair value of $23.29 per warrant, using Tilray’s market share price on the Measurement Date as an input.
I – Convertible notes
Adjusts the carrying value of the liability component of the convertible notes from $257,789 in Tilray’s historical balance sheet to an estimated fair value of $234,789, a decrease of $23,000. The fair value is determined using the expected cash flows, discounted by the estimated interest rate of similar nonconvertible debt based on current market rates. The combined instrument’s fair value of $236,179 is adjusted to present the equity component of $1,390 in equity (note 4B), with the remaining $234,789 recorded as a liability. The equity component is not remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification. The adjusted debt discount is to be amortized as additional non-cash interest expense over the remaining term of the convertible notes using the interest method with an effective rate of 11.7 % per annum.

The pro forma income tax adjustments to the pro forma balance sheet results in an overall increase in the deferred income tax liability of $214,450 relating to the following:
Increase of $202,603 related to Tilray’s increase in taxable temporary differences due primarily to fair value increases in inventory, property and equipment, and intangibles, offset by a partial reversal of the valuation allowance on net operating losses carrying forward in several legal entities and jurisdictions; and
Increase of $11,847 related to restrictions on Aphria’s losses in several legal entities and jurisdictions, and valuation allowances due to the impact of the merger transaction.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

IFRS differs in certain material respects from US GAAP. The following material adjustments have been made to reflect Aphria’s historical consolidated statement of loss on a US GAAP basis for purposes of the unaudited pro forma financial information (expressed in thousands of CAD), these adjustments are before certain reclassification adjustments:
i – Inventory and biological assets
Cannabis plants are accounted for as biological assets and agricultural products under IFRS and US GAAP, respectively. Under IFRS, biological assets are accounted for at fair value less costs to sell and are revalued at each subsequent reporting date up to the point of harvest, upon which time they are transferred into inventories. Any change in fair value is recognized in the period of change within profit or loss. Under US GAAP, agricultural products are accounted for at cost in accordance with guidance on property, plant and equipment or inventories depending on their nature.
The following table reflects the removal of the fair value adjustment that was included in the cost basis of inventories and biological assets under IFRS to reflect cannabis plants at cost in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 330, Inventory as required under US GAAP and includes a corresponding impact to accumulated deficit:

ii – Share-based payments
Under US GAAP, Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) and Deferred Stock Units (“DSUs”) that can be settled in either cash or equity at the option of Aphria should be classified as equity. Currently, Aphria classifies its RSUs and DSUs as liabilities. Under US GAAP, Aphria measures and recognizes compensation expense for these awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award as if the award was, in substance, multiple awards based on their grant date fair value.
The following table reflects the removal of the RSU and DSU liability in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and the reclassification of the awards to equity:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

iii – Leases
Under US GAAP, at lease commencement, a lessee classifies a lease as a finance lease or an operating lease (unless the short-term lease recognition exemption is elected). Under IFRS, lessees do not classify leases and all leases are treated under a single model (unless the short-term leases or leases of low-value asset recognition exemptions are elected). For operating leases under US GAAP, the subsequent measurement of the lease liability is based on the present value of the remaining lease payments using the discount rate determined at lease commencement (which would result in the same amount of lease liability as in IFRS), while the right-of-use asset is remeasured at the amount of the lease liability, adjusted for the remaining balance of any lease incentives received, cumulative prepaid or accrued rents, unamortized initial direct costs and any impairment. This treatment under US GAAP generally results in straight-line expense being incurred over the lease term and recorded to general and administrative expenses. IFRS generally yields front-loaded expense recognition. Under IFRS, a constant interest rate is applied to the lease liability, interest expense decreases as cash payments are made during the lease term and the lease liability decreases. Therefore, more interest expense is incurred in the early periods and less in the later periods. This trend in the interest expense, combined with straight-line depreciation of the right-of-use asset, results in a front-loaded expense recognition pattern.
The following table reflects the adjustments to the right-of-use asset for operating leases under US GAAP, the corresponding impact to accumulated deficit and reclassifies the right-of-use asset from property and equipment, net to operating lease, right-of-use assets:

For the operating leases under US GAAP, the following table reflects the removal of amortization and interest expense recognized under IFRS and instead includes the straight-line operating lease expense as calculated under US GAAP in general and administrative expenses. Furthermore, additional impairment was recognized for the year ended May 31, 2020 under US GAAP for leases that were fully impaired under IFRS as a result of the adjustments to the associated right-of-use assets:

iv – Non-controlling interest on acquisition
Under US GAAP, non-controlling interest is measured at fair value on acquisition date. Under IFRS, Aphria measures non-controlling interest at the proportionate share of the fair value of the acquiree’s net identifiable assets and goodwill recorded on consolidation by Aphria would only reflect the acquirer’s share. This approach does not exist under US GAAP and the adjustment reflects the increase in non-controlling interests and accumulated deficit of C$10,815 as of November 30, 2020.
v – Investments in debt securities
US GAAP requires the use of three categories for the classification and measurement of debt securities based on the entity’s investment intent: held-to-maturity (“HTM”) - measured at amortized cost, trading - measured at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), available-for-sale (“AFS”) - measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”). Under US GAAP, Aphria will classify its investments in debt securities as available-for-sale, measured at FVOCI. Since amounts were previously recognized at FVTPL under IFRS, this will result in a presentation reclassification difference.
L-15

TABLE OF CONTENTS

This adjustment reflects the reversal of gains and losses recorded by Aphria for its investments in debt securities from non-operating income (expense), net into other comprehensive income of (C$7,341) for the year ended May 31, 2020; (C$6,939) for the six months ended November 30, 2019; (C$468) for the six months ended November 30, 2020, for a total adjustment of (C$870) for the twelve months ended November 30, 2020. This also results in a reclassification of amounts recognized in accumulated deficit to accumulated other comprehensive loss of C$191 as of November 30, 2020.
vi – Income taxes
For the purposes of the IFRS to US GAAP adjustments Aphria’s effective income tax rate was 26.5% for the year ended May 31, 2020, for the six months ended November 30, 2020 and for the six months ended November 30, 2019. The effective income tax rate was used in determining adjustments to:
Deferred tax liability of (C$15,061) as of November 30, 2020 as a result of the removal of the fair value adjustment of (C$30,859) from biological assets and inventory offset by an increase to the right-of-use asset under US GAAP C$94 and a reclassification of income taxes on intercompany transfers of inventory of C$15,704 that remain within the consolidated group from Deferred tax liability to Prepayments and other current assets. Under US GAAP, income tax expense paid by the transferor on intercompany profits from the transfer or sale of inventory within a consolidated group are deferred on consolidation, resulting in the recognition of a prepaid asset for the taxes paid rather than deferred taxes as required under IFRS.
Deferred income tax recoveries of C$15,179 for the year ended May 31, 2020; C$7,070 for the six months ended November 30, 2019; C$7,679 for the six months ended November 30, 2020, for a total adjustment of C$15,788 for the twelve months ended November 30, 2020 as a result of the removal of the fair value adjustments from biological assets and inventory under US GAAP.
Income taxes of C$66 for the year ended May 31, 2020; C$36 for the six months ended November 30, 2019; C$28 for the six months ended November 30, 2020, for a total adjustment of C$58 for the twelve months ended November 30, 2020 as a result of decreases to operating lease expense under US GAAP.
vii – Cannway Pharmaceuticals Inc.
In the fiscal year ending May 31, 2016, Aphria acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Cannway Pharmaceuticals Inc. Under IFRS, Aphria treated this transaction as a business combination and accordingly recorded goodwill of C$1,200. Under US GAAP, the transaction did not meet the definition of a business and is considered an asset acquisition. This adjustment reflects the removal of goodwill and includes a corresponding impact to accumulated deficit as the asset is fully amortized as of November 30, 2020.
