Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Tables)

12 Months Ended

Feb. 28, 2023

The inputs used to estimate the fair value of the November 2018 Canopy Warrants are as follows(1)(2):


	February 28, 2023						February 28, 2022
	Tranche A Warrants (3)			Tranche B Warrants (4)			Tranche A Warrants (3)			Tranche B Warrants (4)
Exercise price (5)	C$	50.40		C$	76.68		C$	50.40		C$	76.68
Valuation date stock price (6)	C$	3.17		C$	3.17		C$	9.04		C$	9.04
Remaining contractual term (7)	0.7 years			3.7 years			1.7 years			4.7 years
Expected volatility (8)	100.0		%	100.0		%	75.0		%	75.0		%
Risk-free interest rate (9)	4.6		%	3.7		%	1.4		%	1.7		%
Expected dividend yield (10)	0.0		%	0.0		%	0.0		%	0.0		%

(1)The exercise price for the Tranche C Warrants is based on the VWAP Exercise Price. The Tranche C Warrants are not included in the table as there is no fair value assigned.

(2)In connection with the Acreage Transaction, we obtained other rights which include a share repurchase credit. If Canopy has not purchased the lesser of 27,378,866 Canopy common shares, or C$1,583.0 million worth of Canopy common shares for cancellation between April 18, 2019, and two-years after the full exercise of the Tranche A Warrants, we will be credited an amount that will reduce the aggregate exercise price otherwise payable upon each exercise of the Tranche B Warrants and Tranche C Warrants. The credit will be an amount equal to the difference between C$1,583.0 million and the actual price paid by Canopy in purchasing its common shares for cancellation. The likelihood of receiving the share repurchase credit if we were to fully exercise the Tranche A Warrants is remote, therefore, no fair value has been assigned.

(3)The fair value is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model (Level 2 fair value measurement).

(4)The fair value is estimated using Monte Carlo simulations (Level 2 fair value measurement).

(5)Based on the exercise price from the applicable underlying agreements.

(6)Based on the closing market price for Canopy common shares on the TSX as of the applicable date.

(7)Based on the expiration date of the warrants.

(8)Based on consideration of historical and/or implied volatility levels of the underlying equity security and limited consideration of historical peer group volatility levels.

(9)Based on the implied yield currently available on Canadian Treasury zero coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the expiration date of the applicable warrants.

(10)Based on historical dividend levels.

The inputs used to estimate the fair value of the Canopy Debt Securities are as follows:


	February 28, 2023			February 28, 2022
Conversion price (1)	C$	48.17		C$	48.17
Valuation date stock price (2)	C$	3.17		C$	9.04
Remaining term (3)	0.4 years			1.4 years
Expected volatility (4)	100.0		%	75.0		%
Risk-free interest rate (5)	4.6		%	1.4		%
Expected dividend yield (6)	0.0		%	0.0		%

(1)Based on the rate which the Canopy Debt Securities may be settled. In June 2022, the Canopy Debt Securities were amended to remove Canopy’s right to settle the Canopy Debt Securities on conversion into Canopy common shares. As a result, the Canopy Debt Securities may only be settled in cash. Prior to the June 2022 amendment, the Canopy Debt Securities could be settled, at Canopy’s option, in cash, Canopy common shares, or a combination thereof.

(2)Based on the closing market price for Canopy common shares on the TSX as of the applicable date.

(3)Based on the contractual maturity date of the notes.

(4)Based on consideration of historical and/or implied volatility levels of the underlying equity security, adjusted for certain risks associated with debt securities, as appropriate.

(5)Based on the implied yield currently available on Canadian Treasury zero coupon issues with a term equal to the remaining contractual term of the Canopy Debt Securities.

(6)Based on historical dividend levels.
