Tilray is offering 9,000,000 shares of Class 2 common stock at an initial price to the public between US$14.00 and US$16.00 per share (approximately CAD$18.40 to CAD$21.00 per share1). Tilray intends to grant the underwriters a 30-day over-allotment option to purchase up to 1,350,000 additional shares.

In order to qualify the offering of securities in Canada and to ensure that purchasers in Canada are not subject to restrictions on resale, Tilray has also filed a preliminary prospectus for a proposed IPO in Canada with the securities regulatory authorities in each province of Canada other than the Province of Quebec. Tilray does not intend to list on any stock exchange in Canada.

Cowen and BMO Capital Markets are acting jointly as book-runners for the proposed IPO. Cowen is acting as the sole book-running manager for the IPO in the United States, and BMO Capital Markets is acting as the sole book-running manager for the IPO in Canada. Eight Capital is acting as lead manager for the IPO in Canada. In the United States, Roth Capital Partners is acting as lead manager and Northland Capital Markets is acting as a co-manager for the IPO.

The offering will be made only by means of a prospectus. Copies of the U.S. preliminary prospectus may be obtained from the SEC’s website or from Cowen by contacting Cowen c/o Broadridge Financial Services, 1155 Long Island Avenue, Edgewood, NY, 11717, Attn: Prospectus Department.
