Entry into a Definitive Material Agreement.
|
On October 10, 2018, Tilray, Inc. (Tilray) entered into an indenture relating to the issuance of $450 million aggregate principal amount
of 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 (the notes) (the Indenture) by and between Tilray and GLAS Trust Company LLC, as trustee (the Trustee).
The notes will bear interest at a rate of 5.00% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning on
April 1, 2019. Additional interest may accrue on the notes in specified circumstances set forth in the Indenture, including upon Tilrays failure to comply with certain reporting requirements. The notes will mature on October 1, 2023,
unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted.
The notes are convertible, at a holders election, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, into
cash, shares of Tilrays Class 2 common stock, par value $0.0001 (the Common Stock) or a combination of cash and shares of Tilrays Common Stock, at Tilrays election, at the applicable conversion rate (i) at any
time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding April 1, 2023 only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on March 31, 2019 (and
only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the Common Stock, for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the
immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price for the notes on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five business day period after any ten consecutive trading day period (the
measurement period) in which the trading price (as defined in the Indenture) per $1,000 principal amount of the notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale of Common
Stock and the conversion rate for the notes on each such trading day; (3) if Tilray calls the notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date and
(4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events as set forth in the Indenture or (ii) at any time on or after April 1, 2023 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediate preceding the maturity date,
regardless of the foregoing circumstances.
The initial conversion rate for the notes is 5.9735 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of
notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $167.41 per share of Common Stock), subject to adjustment as provided in the Indenture. The initial conversion rate represents a premium of approximately 15% to the $145.57 per share
closing price of Common Stock on October 4, 2018. The conversion rate for the notes is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. In addition, following certain corporate events that occur
prior to the maturity date or if Tilray delivers a notice of redemption in respect of the notes, Tilray will, under certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate of the notes for a holder who elects to convert its notes in connection with such
a corporate event or notice of redemption, as the case may be.
Tilray may not redeem the notes prior to October 1, 2021. Tilray may redeem for cash
all or any portion of the notes, at its option, on or after October 1, 2021 and on or before the 30th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, if the last reported sale price of the Common Stock has been at least 130% of the
conversion price for the notes then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day
immediately preceding the date on which Tilray provides a notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the relevant redemption date.
No sinking fund is provided for the notes.
If Tilray undergoes a fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture), holders may require Tilray to
repurchase for cash all or any portion of their notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding the fundamental change repurchase
date.
The Indenture includes customary covenants and sets forth certain events of default after which the notes may be declared immediately due and
payable and set forth certain types of bankruptcy or insolvency events of default involving Tilray after which the notes become automatically due and payable. The following events are considered events of default under the Indenture:

default for 30 consecutive days in the payment when due of interest on the notes;
