[PRESS RELEASE] – SMITHS FALLS, Ontario, July 29, 2025 – Canopy Growth Corp., a world-leading cannabis company dedicated to unleashing the power of cannabis to improve lives, announced that it has entered into an agreement with certain of its lenders to make three prepayments that are expected to reduce the company’s senior secured term loan by US$50 million by March 31, 2026.
