Effective as of May 31, 2023, we determined that the 2023 Canopy Promissory Note did not have future economic value given the substantial doubt about Canopy’s ability to continue as a going concern, as disclosed by Canopy, prior to the maturity of the note. Accordingly, the fair value of the remaining balance for this instrument was determined to be zero. In April 2024, we exchanged the 2023 Canopy Promissory Note for Exchangeable Shares. Additionally, as of November 30, 2024 and February 28, 2025, we impaired our Exchangeable Shares.
