Aphria and Tilray to Host a Conference Call and Webcast at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time

Leamington, Ontario and Nanaimo, British Columbia – December 16, 2020 – Aphria Inc. (“Aphria”) (TSX: APHA and Nasdaq: APHA), a leading global cannabis company inspiring and empowering the worldwide community to live their very best life, and Tilray, Inc. (“Tilray”) (Nasdaq: TLRY), a global pioneer in cannabis research, cultivation, production and distribution, today announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement (the “Agreement”) to combine their businesses and create the world’s largest global cannabis company (the “Combined Company”) based on pro forma revenue¹. The deal is pursuant to a plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”) under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario), and the implied pro forma equity value of the Combined Company is approximately C$5.0 billion (US$3.9 billion), based on the share price of Aphria and Tilray at the close of market on December 15, 2020. Following the completion of the Arrangement, the Combined Company will have principal offices in the United States (New York and Seattle), Canada (Toronto, Leamington and Vancouver Island), Portugal and Germany, and it will operate under the Tilray corporate name with shares trading on NASDAQ under ticker symbol “TLRY”.

The Combined Company, supported by low-cost, state-of-the-art cultivation, processing, and manufacturing facilities, will have a complete portfolio of branded Cannabis 2.0 products in Canada. Internationally, the Combined Company will be well-positioned to pursue growth opportunities with Aphria’s medical cannabis and distribution footprint in Germany, and Tilray’s European Union Good Manufacturing Practices (“EU-GMP”) low-cost cannabis production facility in Portugal, which has export capabilities and tariff-free access to the European Union (“EU”) to meet increasing global demand for medical cannabis. In the United States, the Combined Company will have a strong consumer packaged goods presence and infrastructure with two

strategic pillars, including SweetWater Brewing Company (“SweetWater”), a cannabis lifestyle branded craft brewer, and Manitoba Harvest, a leading hemp food manufacturer and a pioneer in branded CBD and wellness products. The Combined Company is expected to have a strong, flexible balance sheet, cash balance and access to capital giving it the ability to accelerate growth and deliver attractive returns for stockholders.

Under the terms of the Arrangement, the shareholders of Aphria (the “Aphria Shareholders”) will receive 0.8381 shares (the “Exchange Ratio”) of Tilray for each Aphria common share (each, an “Aphria Share”), while holders of Tilray shares (the “Tilray Stockholders”) will continue to hold their Tilray shares (the “Tilray Shares”) with no adjustment to their holdings. Upon the completion of the Arrangement, Aphria Shareholders will own approximately 62 percent of the outstanding Tilray Shares on a fully diluted basis, resulting in a reverse acquisition of Tilray, representing a premium of 23 percent based on the share price at market close on December 15, 2020 to Tilray shareholders. On a pro forma basis for the last twelve months reported by each company, the Combined Company would have had revenue of C$874 million (US$685 million).

Proven Leadership Team

The Combined Company will be led by a best-in-class management team and board of directors, with strong track records in consumer-packaged goods and cannabis experience internationally. Upon completion of the Arrangement, Aphria’s current Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Irwin D. Simon, will lead the Combined Company as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. The board of directors will consist of nine members, seven of which, including Mr. Simon, are current Aphria directors and two of which will be from Tilray, including Brendan Kennedy, and one of which is to be designated. Aphria and Tilray are confident that the leadership team and proposed board of directors of the Combined Company provides a strong foundation for the Combined Company to accelerate growth. Additional senior leadership positions at the Combined Company will be named at a later date.

“This is an exciting day for both companies including our 2,500 employees, for the cannabis industry, and for patients and consumers around the world. We are bringing together two world-class companies that share a culture of innovation, brand development and cultivation to enhance our Canadian, U.S., and international scale as we pursue opportunities for accelerated growth with the strength and flexibility of our balance sheet and access to capital,” said Mr. Simon. “Our highly complementary businesses create a combined company with a leading branded product portfolio, including the most comprehensive Cannabis 2.0 product offerings for patients and consumers, along with significant synergies across our operations in Canada, Europe and the United States. Our business combination with Tilray aligns with our strategic focus and emphasis on our highest return priorities as we strive to generate value for all stakeholders.”

“I am honored to work with Brendan Kennedy, a pioneer in the cannabis industry, and the Tilray team as they join forces with our talented employees at Aphria,” continued Mr. Simon. “I look forward to leading the talented teams of both Aphria and Tilray as we seek to create a leading global cannabis and consumer packaged goods company with a portfolio of medical, wellness and adult-use brands consumers love.”

Mr. Kennedy, Tilray’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are thrilled to bring together two cannabis industry leaders. At this nascent stage of development and expansion of the global cannabis market, we believe companies with leading geographic scale, product range and brand expertise are most likely to benefit long-term. By leveraging our combined strengths and capabilities, we expect to be able to meet the needs of consumers more effectively all over the world and advance patient care. With a strong financial profile, low-cost production, leading brands, distribution network and unique partnerships, we believe the Combined Company will be well-positioned to deliver sustainable, attractive returns for stockholders. I look forward to working with Irwin and the Combined Company’s management team to make our consumer products more accessible around the world.”

Strategic and Financial Benefits

The Combined Company will be the largest global cannabis company based on pro forma revenue for the last twelve months reported by each company with scale and breadth across major geographies and a complete portfolio of market leading brands in the major Cannabis 2.0 product categories. Aphria and Tilray each believe the business combination pursuant to the Arrangement will provide the following financial and strategic benefits, among others:

Financial Strength and Flexibility: The Combined Company will enjoy an attractive financial profile with pro forma revenue of C$874 million (US$685 million) for the last twelve months reported by each company, the highest in the global cannabis industry. In Canada, the combination of Aphria and Tilray will create the leading adult-use cannabis company with gross revenue of C$296 million (US$232 million) in the adult-use market for the twelve months reported by each company. Aphria has generated positive adjusted EBITDA over the last six quarters², which in combination with the synergies to be realized, provides a robust platform for future profitability and cash flow generation for the Combined Company. This, collectively with the strength of the Combined Company’s balance sheet and access to capital, is expected to help accelerate global growth and value for the Combined Company’s stakeholders.

Creates the Leading Canadian Adult-Use Cannabis Licensed Producer: Together, Aphria and Tilray will be the leading adult-use cannabis Canadian Licensed Producer based on revenue for the last twelve months by combining their respective brands, distribution networks and world-class facilities. In Canada’s C$3.1 billion adult-use, retail market³, the Combined Company will have one of the lowest cost production operations with its state-of-the-art facilities. In addition, the Combined Company will have a portfolio of carefully curated brands across all consumer segments that are sold through its distribution partners. On a pro forma basis, for the period August to October 2020, the Combined Company would have held a 17.3% retail market share⁴, the largest share held by any single Licensed Producer in Canada and 700 basis points higher than the next closest competitor.

Increases Product Breadth and Commitment to Innovation: Leveraging both Aphria and Tilray’s commitment and culture of innovation and brand building, the Combined Company will serve clients with a complete portfolio of Cannabis 2.0 products and sales and service infrastructure supported by leading distribution partners. Aphria and Tilray’s complementary brands will be available across economy, value, core, premium and premium plus product offerings. In addition, the Combined Company will have a complete breadth of products in every major cannabis category, including flower, pre-roll, oils, capsules, vapes, edibles and beverages.

Establishes an Unrivaled European Platform: The Combined Company will be well-positioned to pursue growth opportunities with its end-to-end EU-GMP supply chain and distribution, which includes Aphria’s German medical cannabis distribution footprint and Tilray’s 2.7 million square foot European EU-GMP low-cost cannabis cultivation and production facility in Portugal. In Germany, Aphria’s wholly-owned subsidiary, CC Pharma GmbH, will provide the Combined Company with distribution capabilities for the Aphria and Tilray medical cannabis brands to more than 13,000 pharmacies. In Portugal, Tilray’s EU-GMP cultivation and production facility will provide the Combined Company with the capacity to cultivate and produce medical cannabis products in order to meet international demand and has export capabilities, which provides tariff-free access to the EU.

Enhances Consumer Packaged Goods Presence and Infrastructure in the U.S.: In the United States, the Combined Company will have a strong consumer packaged goods presence and infrastructure with two strategic pillars, including SweetWater, a cannabis lifestyle branded craft brewer, and Manitoba Harvest, a pioneer in branded hemp, CBD and wellness products with access to 17,000 stores in North America. The Combined Company is expected to leverage SweetWater’s craft beer manufacturing and distribution network to build brand awareness for the Combined Company’s leading brands via craft beers, hard seltzers, and other beverages as it seeks to take advantage of opportunities for both the adult-use and health and wellbeing beverage trends. The Combined Company also expects to pursue the opportunity to expand with new or existing CBD or other cannabinoid brands leveraging Manitoba Harvest’s strong hemp and wellness product platform. When U.S. regulations allow, the Combined Company expects to be well-positioned to compete in the U.S. cannabis market given its existing strong brands and distribution system in addition to its track record of growth in consumer-packaged goods and cannabis.

Positions Combined Company to Continue to Grow in the Beverage Segment: The Combined Company believes it will be well-positioned to pursue an accelerated rate of growth in the Canadian and the U.S. beverage industries by leveraging SweetWater’s innovation, knowledge, and expertise to introduce adult-use cannabis brands via craft beers and other beverages. This includes leveraging Aphria and Tilray’s proven distribution networks in Canada to sell SweetWater’s 420 cannabis lifestyle brand in Canada.

Substantial Synergies: The combination of Aphria and Tilray is expected to deliver approximately C$100 million of annual pre-tax cost synergies within 24 months of the completion of the transaction. The Combined Company expects to achieve cost synergies in the key areas of cultivation and production, cannabis and product purchasing, sales and marketing and corporate expenses. This is expected to include the opportunity for Aphria’s Leamington, Ontario operations to provide additional volume for Tilray’s brands and to replace the need for Tilray to use wholesale cannabis purchases from other licensed producers. Tilray’s London, Ontario facility will also provide Aphria with excess capacity to increase production of additional form factors including their branded edibles and beverages. The Combined Company is considering utilizing Tilray’s existing Nanaimo, British Columbia facility for Aphria’s premium Broken Coast brand to increasingly meet consumer demand for its products. The Combined Company plans to capitalize on opportunities for growth through a broadened product offering and additional form factors, with the aim of increasing adult-use cannabis brand availability across certain Canadian provinces to an expanded customer base with the Combined Company’s scalable infrastructure. Internationally, the Combined Company will have the opportunity to reach additional pharmacies and patients via distribution relationships. The combination is expected to unlock significant shareholder value.

The forward-looking statements are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement. Any information or statements that are contained in this news release that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, statements in this news release with regards to: (i) statements relating to Aphria’s and Tilray’s strategic business combination and the expected terms, timing and closing of the Arrangement including, receipt of required regulatory approvals, shareholder approvals, court approvals and satisfaction of other closing customary conditions; (ii) estimates of pro-forma financial information of the Combined Company, including in respect of expected revenues and production of cannabis; (iii) estimates of future costs applicable to sales; (iv) estimates of future capital expenditures; (v) estimates of future cost reductions, synergies including pre-tax synergies, savings and efficiencies; (vi) statements that the Combined Company anticipates to have scalable medical and adult-use cannabis platforms expected to strengthen the leadership position in Canada, United States and internationally; (vii) statements that the Combined Company is expected to offer a diversified and branded product offering and distribution footprint, world-class cultivation, processing and manufacturing facilities; (viii) statements in respect of operational efficiencies expected to be generated as a result of the Arrangement in the amount of more than C$100 million of pre-tax annual cost synergies; (ix) expectations of future balance sheet strength and future equity; (x) that the Combined Company is expected to unlock significant shareholder value; and (xi) statements under the heading “Strategic and Financial Benefits” of this news release. Aphria and Tilray use words such as “forecast”, “future”, “should”, “could”, “enable”, “potential”, “contemplate”, “believe”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “plan”, “expect”, “intend”, “may”, “project”, “will”, “would” and the negative of these terms or similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Various assumptions were used in drawing the conclusions contained in the forward-looking statements throughout this news release. Forward-looking statements reflect current beliefs of management of Aphria and Tilray with respect to future events and are based on information currently available to each respective management including based on reasonable assumptions, estimates, internal and external analysis and opinions of management of Aphria and Tilray considering their experience, perception of trends, current conditions and expected developments as well as other factors that each respective management believes to be relevant as at the date such statements are made. Forward-looking statements involve significant known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Many factors could cause actual results, performance or achievement to be materially different from any future forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to, risks assumptions and expectations described in Aphria’s and Tilray’s critical accounting policies and estimates; the adoption and impact of certain accounting pronouncements; Aphria’s and Tilray’s future financial and operating performance; the competitive and business strategies of Aphria and Tilray ; the intention to grow the business, operations and potential activities of Aphria and Tilray; the ability of Aphria and Tilray to complete the Arrangement; Aphria’s and Tilray’s ability to provide a return on investment; Aphria’s and Tilray’s ability to maintain a strong financial position and manage costs, the ability of Aphria and Tilray to maximize the utilization of their existing assets and investments and that the completion of the Arrangement is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of a number of conditions as set forth in the Arrangement Agreement. There can be no assurance as to when these conditions will be satisfied or waived, if at all, or that other events will not intervene to delay or result in the failure to complete the Arrangement. There is a risk that some or all the expected benefits of the Arrangement may fail to materialize or may not occur within the time periods anticipated by Aphria and Tilray. The challenge of coordinating previously independent businesses makes evaluating the business and future financial prospects of the Combined Company following the Arrangement difficult. Material risks that could cause actual results to differ from forward-looking statements also include the inherent uncertainty associated with the financial and other projections; the prompt and effective integration of the Combined Company; the ability to achieve the anticipated synergies and value-creation contemplated by the proposed transaction; the risk associated with Aphria’s and Tilray’s ability to obtain the approval of the proposed transaction by their shareholders required to consummate the proposed transaction and the timing of the closing of the proposed transaction, including the risk that the conditions to the transaction are not satisfied on a timely basis or at all; the risk that a consent or authorization that may be required for the proposed transaction is not obtained or is obtained subject to conditions that are not anticipated; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the parties and others related to the Arrangement Agreement; unanticipated difficulties or expenditures relating to the transaction, the response of business partners and retention as a result of the announcement and pendency of the transaction; risks relating to the value of Tilray’s common stock to be issued in connection with the transaction; the impact of competitive responses to the announcement of the transaction; and the diversion of management time on transaction-related issues. For a more detailed discussion of risks and other factors, see the most recently filed annual information form of Aphria and the annual report filed on form 10-K of Tilray made with applicable securities regulatory authorities and available on SEDAR and EDGAR. The forward-looking statements included in this news release are made as of the date of this news release and neither Aphria nor Tilray undertake any obligation to publicly update such forward-looking statements to reflect new information, subsequent events or otherwise unless required by applicable securities laws.

Subject: EXCITING NEWS: Tilray and Aphria Combination

Dear Tilray Team,

I’m proud to share some exciting news. We just announced that Tilray has entered into a definitive agreement to join forces with Aphria Inc., combining two leading Canadian cannabis companies to create the clear global leader with a strengthened global footprint and greatly-enhanced prospects for future growth. The combined company will utilize the Tilray name and will be led by Aphria CEO Irwin D. Simon. I will remain involved and engaged as a member of the “new” Tilray’s the board of directors.

The cultural alignment between the two organizations was a significant driver in the decision to pursue a merger – and it should be a strong, reassuring sign to all of us. Similar to Tilray, Aphria was founded on a mission to improve lives and inspire and empower the worldwide community to live their very best life. Together, with our combined teams, brands, and international footprint, we will deepen our brand portfolio across CPG, retail, and further meet increasing demand for medical cannabis around the globe.

This transaction provides great opportunities for you, our employees, as part of the largest cannabis company in Canada and – not insignificantly – the largest cannabis company in the world measured by revenue.

At the same time, I know that change of any kind can be challenging. Certainly, the last year has brought significant change for Tilray with tough decisions made to optimize our structure for long-term health and sustainability amid market volatility. In doing so, I committed to look for new partners in areas that bring new expertise to our business to ensure Tilray emerges as one of the leading and long-standing cannabis companies. And I truly believe this transaction is a winning combination of Tilray’s global pioneering roots and Aphria’s culture for innovation.

The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2021, subject to the completion of standard closing conditions and approvals. Until then, it’s business as usual on both your near and long-term projects. We have put together an energetic and committed internal team, to oversee the integration process.

We founded Tilray over six years ago to pioneer the future of global cannabis. Two years ago, we made history by becoming the first cannabis company to complete our initial public offering (IPO) on a major U.S. stock exchange. Today marks yet another milestone and the beginning of an important step in the Tilray journey.

I invite you all to join me in a town hall later today, where I will share more insight to what this means for all of us at Tilray and to answer any questions I am able to.

I am honored and proud to be a part of this momentous junction in Tilray’s history, and I am looking forward to the future and the transformative opportunities that this combination will bring.

Thank you all for your continued support and dedication.

Best,

Brendan

Many factors could cause actual results, performance or achievement to be materially different from any future forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to, risks assumptions and expectations described in Aphria’s and Tilray’s critical accounting policies and estimates; the adoption and impact of certain accounting pronouncements; Aphria’s and Tilray’s future financial and operating performance; the competitive and business strategies of Aphria and Tilray ; the intention to grow the business, operations and potential activities of Aphria and Tilray; the ability of Aphria and Tilray to complete the Arrangement; Aphria’s and Tilray’s ability to provide a return on investment; Aphria’s and Tilray’s ability to maintain a strong financial position and manage costs, the ability of Aphria and Tilray to maximize the utilization of their existing assets and investments and that the completion of the Arrangement is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of a number of conditions as set forth in the Arrangement Agreement. There can be no assurance as to when these conditions will be satisfied or waived, if at all, or that other events will not intervene to delay or result in the failure to complete the Arrangement. There is a risk that some or all the expected benefits of the Arrangement may fail to materialize or may not occur within the time periods anticipated by Aphria and Tilray. The challenge of coordinating previously independent businesses makes evaluating the business and future financial prospects of the Combined Company following the Arrangement difficult. Material risks that could cause actual results to differ from forward-looking statements also include the inherent uncertainty associated with the financial and other projections; the prompt and effective integration of the Combined Company; the ability to achieve the anticipated synergies and value-creation contemplated by the proposed transaction; the risk associated with Aphria’s and Tilray’s ability to obtain the approval of the proposed transaction by their shareholders required to consummate the proposed transaction and the timing of the closing of the proposed transaction, including the risk that the conditions to the transaction are not satisfied on a timely basis or at all; the risk that a consent or authorization that may be required for the proposed transaction is not obtained or is obtained subject to conditions that are not anticipated; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the parties and others related to the Arrangement Agreement; unanticipated difficulties or expenditures relating to the transaction, the response of business partners and retention as a result of the announcement and pendency of the transaction; risks relating to the value of Tilray’s common stock to be issued in connection with the transaction; the impact of competitive responses to the announcement of the transaction; and the diversion of management time on transaction-related issues.

Various assumptions were used in drawing the conclusions contained in the forward-looking statements throughout this news release. Forward-looking statements reflect current beliefs of management of Aphria and Tilray with respect to future events and are based on information currently available to each respective management including based on reasonable assumptions, estimates, internal and external analysis and opinions of management of Aphria and Tilray considering their experience, perception of trends, current conditions and expected developments as well as other factors that each respective management believes to be relevant as at the date such statements are made. Forward-looking statements involve significant known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Many factors could cause actual results, performance or achievement to be materially different from any future forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to, risks assumptions and expectations described in Aphria’s and Tilray’s critical accounting policies and estimates; the adoption and impact of certain accounting pronouncements; Aphria’s and Tilray’s future financial and operating performance; the competitive and business strategies of Aphria and Tilray ; the intention to grow the business, operations and potential activities of Aphria and Tilray; the ability of Aphria and Tilray to complete the Arrangement; Aphria’s and Tilray’s ability to provide a return on investment; Aphria’s and Tilray’s ability to maintain a strong financial position and manage costs, the ability of Aphria and Tilray to maximize the utilization of their existing assets and investments and that the completion of the Arrangement is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of a number of conditions as set forth in the Arrangement Agreement.

There is a risk that some or all the expected benefits of the Arrangement may fail to materialize or may not occur within the time periods anticipated by Aphria and Tilray. The challenge of coordinating previously independent businesses makes evaluating the business and future financial prospects of the Combined Company following the Arrangement difficult. Material risks that could cause actual results to differ from forward-looking statements also include the inherent uncertainty associated with the financial and other projections; the prompt and effective integration of the Combined Company; the ability to achieve the anticipated synergies and value-creation contemplated by the proposed transaction; the risk associated with Aphria’s and Tilray’s ability to obtain the approval of the proposed transaction by their shareholders required to consummate the proposed transaction and the timing of the closing of the proposed transaction, including the risk that the conditions to the transaction are not satisfied on a timely basis or at all; the risk that a consent or authorization that may be required for the proposed transaction is not obtained or is obtained subject to conditions that are not anticipated; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the parties and others related to the Arrangement Agreement; unanticipated difficulties or expenditures relating to the transaction, the response of business partners and retention as a result of the announcement and pendency of the transaction; risks relating to the value of Tilray’s common stock to be issued in connection with the transaction; the impact of competitive responses to the announcement of the transaction; and the diversion of management time on transaction-related issues.

Thank you very much, Carl, and welcome Brendan and Michael, and good morning, everyone. Thank you for joining us today and especially on a short notice. You know, this is an exciting day for both companies including our 2,500 employees around the world and for the cannabis industry and for patients and consumers. We’re bringing together two world-class companies that share a culture of innovation, brand development and cultivation to enhance our strong Canadian, US and international scale as we pursue opportunities for accelerated growth with the strength and flexibility of our balance sheet and our access to capital. This business combination creates the largest global cannabis company with an attractive financial profile. On a combined basis, we’ll have a pro forma revenue approaching CAD 900 million for the last 12 months reported by each company, which is the highest in the global cannabis industry. And together, Aphria and Tilray, will have great financial strength and flexibility.

In Canada, we’ll extend Aphria’s strong foundation as a leading license producer when combined with Tilray. We will create the leading adult-use cannabis company with gross revenue of nearly CAD 300 million for the last 12 months reported for each – by each company. We believe it is a key competitive strength for our combined companies given the rapid developing opportunities for growth in the Canadian adult-use in the medical cannabis marketplace.

You heard me say before, what a difference a couple of years makes at Aphria and it’s true. We’ve extended our leadership position in Canada, enhanced our operations in Germany and Greater Europe and most recently with the acquisition of SweetWater Brewing Company, we have positioned us well in the consumer-packaged goods and beverage business.

Now, with today’s announcement on the business. We are strengthening ourselves again and the foundation in Canada, adding greater capabilities in the US and internationally. We’re poised for continued growth across multiple geographies and increasingly well-positioned in the US, Europe and for potential, which will happen one day, legalization of cannabis.

We are connecting with new and existing consumers where and when they want to shop whether it’s brick-and-mortar locations via e-commerce and even in food service and for certain products.

Focusing on the Aphria and Tilray business combination in more detail. We’re excited about the opportunity for approximately CAD 100 million in annual pre-tax cost synergies within 24 months following the completion of this transaction. This will also be a positive platform for future business accretion as we integrate our two businesses together.

Our business combination with Tilray aligns with our strategic focus and emphasis on our highest return priorities as we strive to generate value for all our stakeholders. The combined company supported by low-cost state-of- the-art cultivation processing manufacturing facilities will enhance Aphria existing complete portfolio of carefully curated brands for Cannabis 2.0 across all our consumer segments that are sold through our distribution partners. Internationally, the combined company will be well positioned to pursue our growth opportunity with Aphria’s medical cannabis and distribution footprint in Germany and Tilray’s EU-GMP low-cost cannabis production facility in Portugal, which has export capabilities and tariff-free access to the European Union to meet increasing global demand for medical cannabis.

In the US, the combined company will have a strong consumer packaged goods presence and infrastructure with two strategic pillars, including most recent acquired SweetWater Brewing Company, a cannabis lifestyle branded craft brewer, and Manitoba Harvest, a pioneer in the branded hemp CBD and wellness products. These two businesses represent over CAD 120 million in US sales. We look to build upon our existing distribution partnerships in the US and internationally.

From a financial perspective, Aphria has generated positive adjusted EBITDA over the last six quarters providing a robust platform for future profitability and cash flow generation for the combined companies together. This collectively with the strength of the combined company’s balance sheet, cash balance, and access to capital is expected to help accelerate global growth and deliver attractive returns for our stockholders.

We’ve provided an overview of the transaction structure, initial announcement of the governance of the company, and the path forward in closing this transaction in our Investor Day. The stock-for-stock business combination has been unanimously approved by Aphria and Tilray Board of Directors. Once the business combination is complete, Aphria shareholders will own approximately 62% of the outstanding shares of the combined company on a fully diluted basis. In addition, upon completion of the business combination, I will become Chairman of the Board and CEO of the combined company. My friend and partner, Brendan Kennedy, current CEO of Tilray, who you’ll hear from today shortly, will be joining the combined company’s Board of Directors. Brendan is a pioneer in the global cannabis industry, and it has been a tremendous pleasure getting to know him and working with him. I will look forward to working with him and their teams to execute our corporate strategy and integrate the two company’s culture.

The combined company Board of Directors will consist of nine members, seven, which including myself are current Aphria directors and two from Tilray, including Brendan and a director to be designated. Together, with approximately 2,500 employees around the world and being sold in more than 10 countries, we will bring cultivation, manufacturing scale, product breadth, and market-leading brands to consumers and patients globally. We’re fortunate to have a best-in-class management team and Board of Directors with strong track records in consumer-packaged goods and cannabis experience internationally.

The combined company will have principal offices in Canada, Toronto, Leamington, Vancouver Island, the United States, New York and Seattle, Portugal and Germany. We expect to operate under the Tilray corporate name. We expect the business combination to close in the second quarter of calendar year 2021 following the receipt of regulatory approval and shareholder approvals from both companies.

Now, I’d like to review a few of the strategic financial and business rationale for our business combination in more detail. Then, I’ll turn it over to Brendan to review a few additional reasons why we find this business combination so exciting and compelling.

Aphria, Inc. (APHA.CA) Aphria and Tilray Merger Call

First, as I mentioned earlier today, together Aphria and Tilray will be the leading adult-use cannabis Canadian licensed producer based on revenue for the last 12 months reported by each company by combining their respective brands, distribution networks and world-class facilities. In Canada’s CAD 3.1 billion adult-use retail market, the combined company will have the lowest cost production with a state-of-the-art facilities. In addition, the combined companies will have a portfolio of carefully created brands across all consumer segments that are sold through its distribution partners.

On a pro forma basis for the period of August to October 2020, the combined company will have a market share approaching 20%, the largest share held by any single licensed producer in Canada and 700 basis points higher than the next closest competitor. While we’re pleased to be in this position, together, we are striving to be at least a 30% market share or better over time.

We expect to achieve this growth with new products, brand innovation and strong growth across our existing products and brand. For example, expansion to edibles, gummies, chocolates and beverages and taking share away from the illicit market. In the United States, the combined company will have a strong consumer packaged goods presence, an infrastructure with two strategic pillars including SweetWater as I mentioned before, a cannabis and lifestyle branded craft brewer and Manitoba Harvest, a pioneer in the branded hemp, CBD and wellness product with access to 17,000 stores in North America.

The combined company is expected to leverage SweetWater’s craft beer manufacturing and distribution network to build brand awareness for the combined companies’ leading brands be its craft beers, hard seltzers, and other beverages as we seek to take advantage of the opportunities for both the adult-use and health and well-being beverages, which is a 200-plus-billion-dollar market. We also expect to pursue the opportunity to expand with newer existing CBD or other cannabinoid products leveraging Manitoba Harvest’s strong hemp and wellness product platform.

In the US, when regulators allow the combined company expects that we – expects to be well positioned to compete in the US cannabis market given its existing strong brands and distribution system in addition to his track records of growth in our consumer-packaged goods world. The US is expected to be the largest market opportunity globally. Our combined company will be ready. It’s amazing to think about how we are ready in the market in the US with our combined hemp beverage offerings. We’re building our brands. We expect to introduce our combined cannabis lifestyle brands in the US ahead of legalization, and we’re doing this without even touching the plant.

We believe we have a great opportunity for continued growth in the US and the Canadian beverage industries by leveraging SweetWater’s innovation knowledge and expertise to introduce adult-use cannabis brands via craft beers and other beverages. This includes leveraging Aphria and Tilray’s proven distribution network to sell SweetWater’s 420 cannabis lifestyle brands in Canada.

We also hope to leverage opportunities through Tilray’s already well-established relationship with InBev. As I mentioned, earlier, as noted in today’s press release and supplemental presentations, our teams identified approximately $100 million of annual pre-tax cost synergies, which we will know we’ll get over the next 24 months. We expect to achieve these cost synergies in key areas of cultivation, production supply chain cannabis production purchasing, sales and marketing and corporate expenses. This is projected to include the opportunities for Aphria Leamington, Ontario operations to provide additional volume for Tilray’s brands and to replace the need for Tilray to purchase wholesale cannabis from other licensed producer.

Tilray’s London, Ontario facility will also provide Aphria with excess capacity to increase its production of additional form factors including their branded edibles and beverages. We are considering to utilize Tilray’s existing Nanaimo, British Columbia facility for Aphria’s premium Broken Coast brand. And let me tell you something, we need that production for Broken Coast which has tremendous consumer demand.

Brendan Kennedy

Chief Executive Officer & Director, Tilray, Inc.

Thank you, Irwin. Good morning, everyone. Thanks for joining us on the call and webcast today. I’m excited to be speaking with you all and to share the news that’s been in the making for some time. As Irwin mentioned, this transaction brings together two leading cannabis companies, creating a clear global leader, strengthening our global footprint, and positioning the new Tilray for further growth. I believe this transaction is truly in the best interest of Tilray and Aphria, and for our shareholders, customers and employees.

At this nascent stage of development expansion of the global cannabis market, we believe companies with the leading geographic scale, product range, and brand expertise are most likely to benefit long term. We have pioneered in this industry for the past decade by being opportunistic and assessing ways to strengthen our platform and better deliver on our mission. This transaction is aligned with these goals and presents an excellent outcome for our stockholders through the opportunity to realize a significant value creation through the largest company in the cannabis industry.

At the highest level, the respective positions of our two companies in the market means that we will have a unique opportunity to leverage our combined strengths and capabilities. In turn, we expect to be able to meet the needs of consumers more effectively all over the world in advanced patient care. With a strong financial profile, low-cost production, leading brands, distribution network and unique partnerships, we believe the combined company will be well positioned to deliver sustainable attractive returns for stockholders. Irwin and I have had the opportunity to get to know one another well over the past 12 months. We share a similar vision and mission for global growth and innovation while ensuring we’re enhancing the lives of our consumers and patients. I look forward to working with Irwin and the combined company’s management team to make our consumer products more accessible around the world.

With the combined company, we expect to leverage both Aphria’s and Tilray’s commitment and culture of innovation and brand building. The combined company will serve clients with a strong portfolio at Cannabis 2.0 products, and sales and service infrastructure supported by leading distribution partners. Aphria and Tilray’s complementary brands will be available across economy, value, core, premium and premium plus product offerings.

In addition, the combined company will have a complete breath of products in every major cannabis category including flower, pre-rolls, oil, capsules, vapes, edibles and beverages. Our product portfolio including the breadth and depth of our brands is expected to position the combined company with a more streamlined supply and distribution chain allowing for more consistency in in-stock positions for all provinces, retailers and consumers.

In Europe, we believe our combined operations helps us to establish an unrivalled European platform. Our combined company will be well-positioned to pursue growth opportunities with our end-to-end EU-GMP supply and distribution chain, which includes Aphria’s German medical cannabis distribution footprint, and Tilray’s European EU-GMP low-cost cannabis cultivation and production facility in Portugal.

In Germany, Aphria’s wholly owned subsidiary, CC Pharma, will provide the combined company with distribution capabilities for the Aphria and Tilray medical cannabis brand to more than 13,000 pharmacies.

In Portugal, Tilray’s EU-GMP cultivation and production facility will provide the combined company with the capacity to cultivate and produce medical cannabis products in order to meet international demand and have export capabilities, which provides tariff-free access to the EU.

The combination of Aphria and Tilray will create the global leader in the cannabis industry upon completion of the business transaction. I truly believe that this transaction is a winning combination of Tilray’s global pioneering roots and Aphria’s culture for innovation. We look forward to achieving greater growth together through our worldwide scale and leading portfolio of adult-use cannabis and medical brands, as well as the many transformative opportunities this business combination will bring.

I would now like to turn the call back to Irwin for closing remarks. Irwin.

Irwin David Simon

Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, Aphria, Inc.

Thank you, Brendan. I love that Brendan already [ph] got me (00:21:38) skipping questions and answers. But, Brendan, I think what we’ll do right now is turn it over. Carl, you and I are going to answer some great questions out there from our analysts.

Operator, could you start the question, please?

QUESTION AND ANSWER SECTION

Operator: Yes. Thank you. [Operator Instructions] Your first question comes from the line of Vivien Azer of Cowen. Your line is open.

		8 Copyright © 2001-2020 FactSet CallStreet, LLC

Aphria, Inc. (APHA.CA) Aphria and Tilray Merger Call

Sure. That makes perfect sense. And then into my real question, just on the potential cost synergies. Can you talk about the phasing over the 24 months in terms of the three kind of buckets of opportunity? Thanks.

So, you know from a standpoint, I think there’s at least in low-hanging fruit from a public company cost, they’ll go away immediately, as you heard me say before. The good news is, a lot of Tilray’s production today as they buy cannabis from other growers is a big opportunity as we move that into Aphria. It’s about 35,000 kilos a year that will move into our facility. It’s from a low cost, from a cost standpoint there.

In regards to sales and marketing, combining our sales force, combining our marketing, in regards to just bolstering our marketing, where we’re both competing against each other is big. And then last but not least in our international, combining our two international facilities together and being able to sell through [ph] other (00:25:04) CC Pharma.

So, I would say at least half of it in year one and half in year two. And not that I would commit to more, but we think there is beyond CAD 100 million of synergies and savings. And the big thing maybe with this here, with the Canadian LP is to find CAD 100 million synergies and savings. So, that was pretty difficult with the growth. So, what we will create in accretion and valuation to these combined companies for our shareholders is a big, big part of why this deal makes a lot of sense.

Understood. Thanks so much.

Thank you.

Operator: Your next question comes from Andrew Carter of Stifel. Your line is open.

Thanks. Good morning. I guess I wanted to ask at this stage of the Canadian market developments, are there really scale benefits accruing to the larger players. I mean we’ve seen the smaller players continue to get listings of the price competitions. Are the provinces showing any real deference to companies with a full product solution or inclinations of working to more profitably manage the category. And one more question within that, your both companies use a brokered sales force. Is there any thought of investing to internalize those capabilities? Thanks.

So, Brendan, do you want to go first, and I can follow up on that.

Aphria, Inc. (APHA.CA) Aphria and Tilray Merger Call

Good morning. Thanks for taking my question and congrats on the merger. So, I guess just to start out. So, maybe a question for you, Irwin. You’ve obviously done a ton of M&A in your career and this is a very complex, I think, combination of the two enterprises. So, what’s your confidence in being able to execute on this synergy front and being able to drive that shareholder value over time?

Well, I think step back and a real good question. If you come back and look over two years what has happened at Aphria where we have created seven or eight brands, we have really done a great job on our cultivation, our growth facilities in Leamington, in Vancouver, and now in Germany. With that, we’ve taken a lot of cost to becoming that low-cost producer.

With that, we’ve had set up the infrastructure in regards to our systems, our finance group, our people have built a world-class team. So, we’ve had those pillars in place today and now taking Tilray and putting that together with it. And there’s a lot of great things that Tilray has done in regards to their Portugal facility, in regards to their Cannabis 2.0. And one of the big things that I really liked about this deal it’s not like we’re left with all these growth facilities that we have to close. And like you heard me say there’s 35,000 kilos that we will move into our facilities where a low-cost producer will get the ability and there’s lot of additional overhead that we will absorb.

So, the combination of the teams, the brands, the strategy, the growth, and taking a CAD 100 million of costs out of that and just putting a multiple on that just think of the value that we create with that. So, why I feel good? Got a great team around me. Got some great brands. We’re in a really growing, fast growing industry. And last but not least, you know, between SweetWater and Manitoba Hemp, and guys legalization is going to come. And who else is better prepared for it than us.

Okay. Great. And then, maybe just one final question. Just in terms of the brand, so it seems like the plan is to create – to maintain both company’s brands. But how do you guys think about maybe while the brands are small maybe like consolidating under maybe the leading brands of both companies versus keeping this pretty broad brand architecture.

Listen, it’s a great point. And I think there is always complexity in brand consolidation, and that’s something that we’ll look to do. And the thing about this business, there’s some fragmentation in the provinces, what’s strong in Quebec versus Ontario. And we’ll absolutely look at that is what are the best brands for the different provinces out there. And, you know, kind of what I did at Hain we had 50 brands and kind of – what were the best brands. And one was a blocker, and one wasn’t, and one was there was a high low. So, there’s different strategies that we’re going to look at for different brands out here.

And the big thing just to talk about, Tilray has an excellent medical business that will help us tremendously. And I just see so many opportunities in users today, in looking for medical cannabis and not so much going to the doctors and the clinics going into retail and looking for products that’s going to help them sleep. That’s going to

		11 Copyright © 2001-2020 FactSet CallStreet, LLC

Aphria, Inc. (APHA.CA) Aphria and Tilray Merger Call

drug dealer or illicit market out there. So, it’s like buying an alcoholic drink, buying a pack of tobacco. You want to buy your brand because you can trust it. You know it is a tested product. You know from a regulatory standpoint it’s gone through all this regulation.

And with that, I think again if you come back and you decriminalize the market out there in the US, then you’ve got to legalize it because if you decriminalize it, it just says, okay, I’m going to go buy it from the illicit market. And why is the US giving up all these tax dollars? Where it will be sold and how it’s going to be sold, I don’t know yet. But we will be ready because we’ll be selling into the alcohol trade. We’ll be selling into the consumer trade. And between both companies, we’ll have close to 15 different brands, different strains, different products that we’ll be able to sell into the US. And hopefully, we could import products or export products into the US market.

Aphria, Inc. (APHA.CA) Aphria and Tilray Merger Call

Listen, in summary, this is an exciting step forward for Aphria and Tilray, as well as our employees, our investors, our customers. And last but not least, the consumers and patients. We really believe this business combination will create significant value for our stakeholders and will lead to increased accessibility of our products market and which we talked a lot about today, our brands that will be leading brands and be well-known over the next several years.

Our scale and infrastructure in the cannabis industry is expected to set forth us apart from competitors and accelerate our growth. I’m proud of our Aphria and Tilray employees. And I got to tell you, they have worked hard to get to where we are today from both company standpoint. And they’ve worked hard to get this completion across the line of these two companies. I look forward to working with them and executing on the expanded potential of both companies together.

Thank you once again for joining us on this short notice. We look forward to working all together. What I’d like to do is wish everybody happy holidays. Be safe out there. And look forward to our next call that we can continuously give you updates on everything. Thank you very much and have a good day.
