In connection with the standby agreement, and to reflect worsening stock market conditions and a decrease in the company’s share price, the standby party and the company have agreed to an amendment whereby the standby party will initially receive 10.84 million common shares in the capital of the company as a standby commitment fee versus the originally agreed 7.55 million common shares. In addition, the entitlement to receive additional common shares as part of the standby commitment fee as previously disclosed has been limited to circumstances where the company’s share price on the TSX at the end of the four month and one day restricted period applicable to the common shares initially issued as a standby commitment fee is less than $0.489. The terms of the standby agreement are otherwise unamended.

The board of directors of HEXO unanimously recommends that shareholders vote for the resolutions to approve certain aspects of the transactions, which are described in detail in the circular.
