Tilray Asks Stockholders to Support Key Initiatives to Drive Strategic Growth and Strengthen Stockholder Rights

Stockholders of Record as of June 22, 2021, May Vote Online, by Telephone or Mail

Tilray, Inc. (“Tilray”) (NASDAQ | TSX: TLRY), a leading global cannabis-lifestyle and consumer packaged goods company, today distributed a proxy statement, which included an open letter from Irwin D. Simon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Tilray, to its stockholders seeking support for several important proposals to be voted on at the Special Meeting of Tilray stockholders, scheduled for July 29, 2021.

Tilray is seeking to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock, so that it may use its stock to acquire and finance attractive businesses that would help Tilray grow and create value for stockholders. Tilray is also asking stockholders to approve certain amendments and modifications to Tilray’s organizational documents to provide for increased shareholder rights.

The full text of the letter from Irwin D. Simon is copied below:

Dear Fellow Shareholders,

We need your help to ensure Tilray grows – and to ensure YOU are able to participate in our success in a meaningful, constructive manner. Please take a few minutes to read this letter, the accompanying materials detailed in the proxy, and then submit your vote online, by telephone or mail.

Through our recent combination with Aphria Inc., we have ushered in a new era for the global cannabis industry. We now have the largest geographic footprint and leading cannabis-focused portfolio of consumer-packaged goods in the world.

We Have Substantial Growth Opportunities Ahead and We Need Your Support: To go from potential to performance, however, we need your help. Specifically, we will be addressing two important matters at the upcoming Special Meeting of Shareholders, both of which will be critical to driving value for our Shareholders. If you are a Shareholder of record as of June 22, 2021 you have the opportunity to vote on these proposals, which include:

  • Authorized Shares Proposal – Help Tilray Grow: This proposal would authorize additional shares of our common stock so that we can move quickly to accelerate growth through potential acquisition and financing opportunities. Importantly, approval does not mean that the authorized shares will be issued, only that they are available if needed in pursuit of these important corporate initiatives to drive shareholder value.
  • Governance Proposals - Expand Your Rights: Following the combination of Tilray and Aphria, our Board undertook a comprehensive review of our corporate governance, taking into consideration the views held by the investment community on important matters of governance. As a result, the Board is proposing to expand the rights of our Shareholders; but to do so, we need your approval on several amendments to our organizational documents.

HOW TO VOTE

These proposals are critical to our success, and if you are a shareholder of record as of June 22, 2021 you have options:

  • Online, Phone or Mail: Please review the instructions on the proxy or voting instruction form regarding each of these voting options and vote as soon as possible! The deadline to vote is Wednesday, July 28, 2021 by 11:59 p.m.
  • Virtual Shareholder Meeting – You can attend the virtual Special Meeting of Tilray’s Shareholders to be held on Thursday, July 29, 2021 at 11:00 a.m., Eastern Time, conducted via live audio webcast by visiting https://www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/TRLY2021SM2.

Please submit the proxy promptly to have your shares voted, whether or not you plan to attend the Special Meeting.

If you have any questions or need any assistance in voting your shares, please contact Morrow Sodali LLC at (833)497-7395 toll-free in the U.S. and Canada, or (203)658-9400 or by email at TLRY@info.morrowsodali.com.

WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT AND WILL WORK EVERY DAY TO TAKE FULL ADVANTAGE OF ALL OPPORTUNITIES TO ENHANCE LONG-TERM VALUE.

Thank you for your interest and investment in Tilray, Inc.

Sincerely,

Irwin D. Simon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
