The Annual Meeting – Thursday, November 21, 2024, at 11:00 a.m. EST.

Why am I receiving these materials?

In connection with its solicitation of proxies for use at our Annual Meeting, our Board (i) has made these materials available to you via the Internet or, upon your request, via email, or (ii) upon your request, has delivered or will deliver printed versions of these materials to you by mail. Only stockholders of record at the close of business on September 26, 2024 (the “Record Date”) will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. On this record date, there were 875,444,828 shares of common stock (the “Common Stock”) outstanding and entitled to vote. As a stockholder of record of our Common Stock at the close of business on the Record Date for our Annual Meeting, you are invited to attend the virtual Annual Meeting, and are entitled to and requested to vote on the items of business described in this Proxy Statement.

Why is the meeting being held virtually this year?

As was the case with our 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, we believe that a virtual meeting will provide expanded stockholder access and participation, as well as improved communications. You will be able to join the Annual Meeting and vote and submit questions online during the Annual Meeting by visiting ww.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/TLRY2024 and using the 16-digit control number included on the Important Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (Notice), on your proxy card, or on your vote instruction form provided by your broker, bank or other nominee. Online check-in will be available at the virtual meeting site approximately 15 minutes prior to the beginning of the Annual Meeting.

Why did I receive a notice in the mail regarding the Internet availability of proxy materials instead of a full set of printed proxy materials?

Pursuant to rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), we are making this Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting (the “Proxy Statement”) and our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2024 (the “Annual Report,” and, together with this Proxy Statement, the “Proxy Materials”) available to stockholders electronically via the Internet. Stockholders will be able to access the Proxy Materials on the website referred to in the Notice or request to receive printed copies of the Proxy Materials and a proxy card. Instructions on how to access the Proxy Materials via the Internet or to request a printed copy may be found in the Notice and in this Proxy Statement. We believe that this electronic process expedites your receipt of the Proxy Materials and reduces the cost and environmental impact of printing Proxy Materials for our Annual Meeting.

On or about September 26, 2024, stockholders of record and beneficial owners of our Common Stock at the close of business on the Record Date will be sent a Notice instructing them as to how to receive their Proxy Materials via the Internet. The Proxy Materials will be available on the Internet as of September 27, 2024.

How can I electronically access the Proxy Materials?

Beginning September 27, 2024, you can access the Proxy Materials and vote your shares online at www.proxyvote.com. The Proxy Materials are also available on our own website (https:www.tilray.com).

How can I obtain a full set of printed Proxy Materials?

If you prefer to receive paper copies of the Proxy Materials and a proxy card, you may still do so. You may request printed materials by (i) calling 800-579-1639; (ii) sending an email to [e-mail]; or (iii) logging onto www.proxyvote.com using the credentials provided on your Notice or proxy card.

How many shares are eligible to be voted and how many shares are required to hold the Annual Meeting?

A quorum is required to hold the Annual Meeting and conduct business. The presence at the Annual Meeting, in person or by proxy, of stockholders representing the holders of one-third of the voting power of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting as of the close of business on the Record Date, will constitute a quorum for purposes of holding and conducting business at the Annual Meeting. As of the Record Date, we had 875,444,828 shares of our Common Stock outstanding – each entitled to one vote at the Annual Meeting – meaning that 291,814,943 shares of Common Stock must be represented in person or by proxy to have a quorum. Our Common Stock is our only outstanding class of voting securities. For purposes of determining whether a quorum exists, broker non-votes and proxies received but marked “ABSTAIN” will be counted.

What am I voting on?

You are voting on proposals to:

•	elect Mr. Hopkinson and Mr. Looney, the two (2) Class III director nominees, each to serve a term of three years expiring at the 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, to our Board;

•	ratify the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2025;

•	approve an increase the number of shares of common stock the Company is authorized to issue from 1,208,000,000 shares of capital stock to 1,426,000,000 shares of capital stock (the “Authorized Shares Proposal”);

•

approve the governance changes to the Company’s Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”) to (i) declassify the Board and provide that all directors will be elected at each annual meeting of stockholders and (ii) eliminate the provision of the Charter that allows stockholders to remove directors only for cause (collectively, the “Governance Proposal”); and

•	consider and act upon any other business that may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement of the Annual Meeting.

How does the Board recommend that I vote?

The Board recommends that you vote:

1.	FOR the election of the two (2) Class III director nominees;

2.	FOR the ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2025;

3.	FOR the approval of the Authorized Shares Proposal:

4.	FOR the approval of the Governance Proposal.

How do I vote?

You may vote “For” or “Withhold” for the nominees to the Board. For the Authorized Shares Proposal, the Governance Proposal and for the ratification of the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, you may vote “For” or “Against” or abstain from voting.

The procedures for voting are as follows:

Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name

If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote by “virtually” attending the Annual Meeting (via the following link: www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/TLRY2024), vote by proxy through the internet or vote by proxy using the enclosed proxy card. Whether or not you plan to attend the meeting, we urge you to vote by proxy to ensure your vote is counted. You may still attend the meeting and vote even if you have already voted by proxy.

•	To vote by “virtually” attending the Annual Meeting, login to the link: www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/TLRY2024, and follow the instructions provided.

•	To vote using the enclosed proxy card, simply complete, sign and date the enclosed proxy card that may be delivered and return it promptly in the envelope provided. If you return your signed proxy card to us before the Annual Meeting, we will vote your shares as you direct.

•	To vote through the internet, go to www.proxyvote.com to complete an electronic proxy card. You will be asked to provide the company number and control number from the enclosed proxy cards. Your internet vote must be received by 11:59 PM EST, on November 21, 2024 to be counted.

Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of Broker or Bank

If you are a beneficial owner of shares registered in the name of your broker, bank or other agent, these proxy materials along with a vote instruction form are being provided by that organization rather than Tilray. Follow the voting instructions in such vote instruction form to ensure that your vote is counted. To vote by “virtually”

3

---

attending the Annual Meeting, you must obtain a valid proxy from your broker, bank or other agent. Follow the instructions from your broker, bank or other agent included with these proxy materials, or contact that organization to request a proxy form.

If I am a stockholder of record and I do not vote, or if I return a proxy card or otherwise vote without giving specific voting instructions, what happens?

If you are a stockholder of record and do not vote by completing your proxy card, through the internet or by “virtually” attending the Annual Meeting, your shares will not be voted at the Annual Meeting.

If you return a signed and dated proxy card or otherwise vote without marking your voting selections, your shares will be voted as recommended by the Board. Specifically, your shares will be voted, as applicable, “For” the election of the nominees for Class III director, “For” the Authorized Shares Proposal, “For” the Governance Proposal, and “For” the ratification of selection by the Audit Committee of the Board of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as independent registered public accounting firm of the Company for its fiscal year ending May 31, 2025. If any other matter is properly presented at the Annual Meeting, including a proposal to postpone or adjourn the meeting, your proxy will vote your shares in accordance with his or her discretion. At present, the Board knows of no other business that is intended to be brought before or acted upon at the Annual Meeting.

How can I participate and ask questions at the Annual Meeting?

We are committed to ensuring that our stockholders have substantially the same opportunities to participate in the Annual Meeting as they would at an in-person meeting. To vote or submit a question at the Annual Meeting, you will need your 16-digit control number that is printed on the Notice or proxy card that you received in the mail, or via email if you have elected to receive material electronically. You may log in 15 minutes before the start of the Annual Meeting and submit questions online. You will also be able to submit questions during the Annual Meeting. We encourage you to submit any question that is relevant to the business of the Annual Meeting. Appropriate questions asked during the Annual Meeting will be read and addressed during the Annual Meeting, as time permits. Questions and answers may be grouped by topic, and we will group substantially similar questions together and answer them once. Questions regarding personal matters or general economic or political questions that are not directly related to the business of the Company are not pertinent to Annual Meeting matters and, therefore, will not be answered. If there are matters of individual concern to a stockholder and not of general concern to all stockholders, or if a question posed was not otherwise answered, we encourage stockholders to contact us separately after the Annual Meeting.

What if I need assistance with voting or have technical problems regarding the Annual Meeting?

If you have technical difficulties accessing or using the virtual meeting site during the Annual Meeting, you should call the technical support number on the virtual meeting site. The virtual meeting site is supported on browsers (e.g., Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome and Safari) and devices (desktops, laptops, tablets and cell phones) running the most updated version of applicable software and plug-ins. Each participant should ensure strong Wi-Fi or other internet connection.

What if another matter is properly brought before the meeting?

The Board knows of no other matters that will be presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting. If any other matters are properly brought before the Annual Meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the accompanying proxy to vote on those matters in accordance with their best judgment.

How many votes are required to approve each proposal?

The table below summarizes the proposals that will be voted on, the vote required to approve each item and how votes are counted.

Proposal

Votes Required

Voting Options

Impact of “Withhold” or “Abstain” Votes

Broker Discretionary Voting Allowed

Proposal No. 1: Election of Directors

The plurality of the votes of shares of the voting power present or represented by proxy. This means that the two nominees receiving the highest number of affirmative “FOR” votes will be elected.

“FOR” “WITHHOLD”

None(1)

No(5)

Proposal No. 2: Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of shares of the voting power present or represented by proxy.

“FOR” “AGAINST” “ABSTAIN”

Will count as a vote “against”(3)

Yes(4)

Proposal No. 3: Approval of the Authorized Shares Proposal

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of voting power casting votes in person (online during the virtual meeting) or by proxy at the Annual Meeting by the holders entitled to vote thereon. This means that the Authorized Shares Proposal will be approved if the votes cast “FOR” the proposal exceed the votes cast “AGAINST” the proposal.

“FOR” “AGAINST” “ABSTAIN”

None(5)

Yes(4)

Proposal No. 4: Approval of Governance Proposal

The affirmative vote of the holders of 66 2/3% of the outstanding shares of our common stock entitled to vote generally at an election of directors.

“FOR” “AGAINST” “ABSTAIN”

Will count as a vote “against”(3)

No(2)

(1)	Votes that are “withheld” will have the same effect as an abstention and will not count as a vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” a director, because directors are elected by plurality voting.

(2)

As this proposal is not considered a discretionary matter, brokers lack authority to exercise their discretion to vote uninstructed shares on this proposal. Accordingly, when a beneficial owner of shares held in street name does not give voting instructions to his or her broker, bank or other agent as to how to vote on matters deemed to be “non-routine,” the broker, bank or other agent cannot vote the shares. These un-voted shares are counted as “broker non-votes” and will have the effect of a vote “against” the proposal.

(3)	Abstentions and votes withheld will not be included in the numerator (since they are not affirmative votes) but will be included in the denominator (since they are shares “entitled to vote”). Therefore, abstentions and votes withheld will have the same effect as a vote “against” the proposal.

(4)	As this proposal is considered a discretionary matter, brokers are permitted to exercise their discretion to vote uninstructed shares on this proposal.

(5)	Abstentions, and in the case of the Election of Directors proposal, “broker non-votes” are not counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the vote on this proposal.

What happens if I don’t specify how I want my shares voted on one or all of the proposals?

If you submit a proxy but do not indicate any voting instructions, the persons named as proxies will vote in accordance with the recommendations of the Board. The Board’s recommendations are set forth above, as well as with the description of each proposal in this Proxy Statement.

5

---

Can I change my vote or revoke my proxy after I have already voted or given my proxy?

Yes. If you are a stockholder of record, you may change your vote or revoke your proxy at any time before the proxy is voted at the Annual Meeting. To change your vote, you may:

•	mail a written notice “revoking” your earlier vote to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, NY 11717;

•	submit to Broadridge a properly completed and signed proxy card with a later date;

•	vote again telephonically or electronically (available until 11:59 p.m. EST on November 20, 2024); or

•	vote in person at the Annual Meeting; however, your virtual attendance at the Annual Meeting alone will not revoke your proxy.

Your last dated proxy, properly completed and timely received prior to, or vote cast at, the Annual Meeting will be counted.

If you own your shares in street name, please contact your broker or other intermediary for instructions on changing your vote or revoking your proxy.

Can I vote at the virtual meeting?

Yes. If you are the stockholder of record of the shares, you will have the opportunity to vote in person when you attend the virtual Annual Meeting online by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/TLRY2024. In order to vote during the Annual Meeting, you will use the 16-digit control number included on the Notice, on your proxy card, or on your vote instruction form provided by your broker, bank or other nominee. However, since a beneficial owner holding shares in street name is not the stockholder of record, if you are such a beneficial owner of shares, you may not vote your shares in person at the virtual Annual Meeting unless you obtain a legal proxy from the broker or other intermediary that holds your shares giving you the right to vote the shares at the Annual Meeting. Please provide the legal proxy information once you log into the Annual Meeting.

Who will count the votes?

Broadridge has been engaged as our independent agent to tabulate stockholder votes and act as Inspector of Election for the meeting.

Is voting confidential?

Proxy instructions, ballots and voting tabulations that identify individual stockholders are handled in a manner that protects your voting privacy. Your vote will not be disclosed either within the Company or to third parties, except:

•	as necessary to meet applicable legal requirements;

•	to allow for the tabulation and certification of votes; and

•	to facilitate a successful proxy solicitation.

Occasionally, stockholders provide written comments on their proxy cards, which may be forwarded to the Company’s management and the Board.

What happens if the Annual Meeting is adjourned or postponed?

Your proxy will still be effective and will be voted at the adjourned or postponed Annual Meeting. You will still be able to change or revoke your proxy until it is voted, provided such new proxy or revocation is properly completed and timely received.

How can I find the results of the Annual Meeting?

We will report the final voting results on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) within four business days of the Annual Meeting. The Form 8-K will be available on the SEC’s website, www.sec.gov, as well as on our own website, https://ir.tilray.com/financial-information/sec-filings.

Who is soliciting my vote pursuant to this Proxy Statement?

Our Board is soliciting your vote.

Internet Availability of Proxy Materials

Under rules adopted by the SEC, we are furnishing Proxy Materials to our stockholders primarily via the Internet instead of mailing printed copies of those materials to each stockholder. On or about September 26, 2024, we will mail to our stockholders (other than those who previously requested electronic or paper delivery) an Important Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials containing instructions on how to access our Proxy Materials, including our Proxy Statement and our Annual Report. The Notice also instructs stockholders on how to vote via the Internet.

This process is designed to expedite stockholders’ receipt of proxy materials, lower the cost of the Annual Meeting and help conserve natural resources; however, if you would prefer to receive printed proxy materials and a proxy card, please follow the instructions included in the Notice and in this Proxy Statement. If you have previously elected to receive our proxy materials electronically, these materials will continue to be made available to you via email until you elect otherwise. If you have previously elected to receive printed proxy materials, you will continue to receive these materials and a proxy card in paper format until you elect otherwise.

PROPOSAL 1

 

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Summary

Tilray’s Board is divided into three classes. Each class has a three-year term. Vacancies on the Board may be filled only by persons elected by a majority of the remaining directors. A director elected by the Board to fill a vacancy in a class, including vacancies created by an increase in the number of directors, shall serve for the remainder of the full term of that class and until the director’s successor is duly elected and qualified.

The Board presently has seven members and is divided into three classes (I, II, and III) of directors. Each of our directors currently serves until either the 2024 (current), 2025 or 2026 annual meeting of our stockholders and until her or his successor has been duly elected and qualified, or, if sooner, until the director’s death, resignation or removal. It is the Company’s policy to invite directors and nominees for director to attend the Annual Meeting. All of our Board members, who were then-current members of Tilray’s Board, attended our 2023 Annual Meeting of stockholders.

David Hopkinson and Thomas Looney are Class III directors and each of them is willing and able to stand for election at the Annual Meeting. Jodi Butts has determined not to stand for re-election as a Class III director, but will continue to serve as a Board member through the end of her current term expiring at the 2024 Annual Meeting. Any vacancies not filled at the Annual Meeting may be filled by the Board.

David Hopkinson and Thomas Looney, the Class III Director Nominees for Election for a Three-Year Term Expiring at the 2027 Annual Meeting

The biography of each of Mr. Hopkinson and Mr. Looney as Class III director nominees is listed below and contains information regarding the person’s service as a director, business experience, public company director positions currently held or held at any time during the last five years, information regarding involvement in certain legal or administrative proceedings (if applicable), and the experiences, qualifications, attributes or skills that caused the Nominating Committee and the Board to determine that the person should serve as a director in light of our business and structure. Each Class III director nominee listed below exemplifies how our Board values professional experience in business, education, policy and governmental fields as well as strong moral character and diversity in terms of viewpoint as well as age, ethnicity and gender. Our Board believes that each of these director nominee’s strong background and sets of skills provide the Board, as a whole, with a strong foundation of technical expertise and diverse experience in a variety of areas.

INFORMATION REGARDING THE BOARD AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Overview

To guide the operation and direction of the Board and its committees, our Board has established charters for its standing committees and our Code of Conduct to reflect our commitment to good corporate governance and to comply with Delaware law, the rules and listing standards of the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the rules and regulations of the SEC and other legal requirements. These materials are available on our website – https://ir.tilray.com/corporate-governance/governance-overview.

These materials are also available in print free of charge to stockholders, upon written request to Tilray Brands, Inc., Investor Relations, 265 Talbot Street West, Leamington, Ontario N8H 4H3, Canada. Our Board believes that good corporate governance is fundamental to the overall success of our business. To that end, our Board evaluates our corporate governance practices in light of applicable changes in Delaware law, the rules and listing standards of the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the rules and regulations of the SEC, and the rules and regulations under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), as well as best practices suggested by recognized governance authorities, and makes modifications to our corporate governance practices that it determines are warranted.

Board Diversity

The Board Diversity Matrix below provides the diversity statistics for our Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is committed to enhancing the Board’s diversity profile at such time as it evaluates any newly nominated directors.

Independence of The Board of Directors

As required under the Nasdaq Global Select Market listing standards, a majority of the members of a listed company’s board of directors must qualify as “independent”, as affirmatively determined by the board of directors. Our Board consults with the Company’s counsel to ensure that the Board’s determinations are consistent with relevant securities and other laws and regulations regarding the definition of “independent”, including those set forth in the applicable Nasdaq Global Select Market listing standards (including as independent is currently defined in Rule 4505(d)(2) of those listing standards).

Consistent with these considerations, after review of all identified relevant transactions or relationships between each director, or any of his or her family members, and Company, its senior managements and its independent registered public accounting firm, our Board has determined that each of Ms. Renah Persofsky, Ms. Jodi Butts, Mr. David Clanachan, Mr. John M. Herhalt, Mr. David Hopkinson and Mr. Tom Looney is independent under the listing rules of the Nasdaq Global Select Market.

Our Board has also determined that Mr. Simon is not independent under the listing rules of the Nasdaq Global Select Market.

Board Leadership Structure

Our Board is currently chaired by our President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Simon.

The Company believes that combining the positions of Chief Executive Officer and Board Chair helps to ensure that the Board and management act with a common purpose. In the Company’s view, separating the positions of Chief Executive Officer and Board Chair has the potential to give rise to divided leadership, which could interfere with good decision-making or weaken the Company’s ability to develop and implement strategy. Instead, the Company believes that combining the positions of Chief Executive Officer and Board Chair provides a single, clear chain of command to execute the Company’s strategic initiatives and business plans. In addition, the Company believes that a combined Chief Executive Officer/Board Chair is better positioned to act as a bridge between management and the Board, facilitating the regular flow of information. In addition, the Board believes that it is best served by having a separate independent director (currently Ms. Persofsky) serve as the Company’s Vice Chair to facilitate strong communication and coordination between management and the independent members of the Board.

Role of the Board in Risk Oversight

One of the Board’s key functions is informed oversight of the Company’s risk management process. The Board does not have a standing risk management committee, but rather administers this oversight function directly through the Board as a whole, as well as through various Board standing committees that address risks inherent in their respective areas of oversight. In particular, our Board is responsible for monitoring and assessing strategic risk exposure, including a determination of the nature and level of risk appropriate for the Company. Our Audit Committee has the responsibility to consider and discuss our major financial risk exposures and the steps our management has taken to monitor and control these exposures, including guidelines and policies to govern the process by which risk assessment and management is undertaken, and to consider and oversee emerging areas of risk, such as environmental risk exposures. The Audit Committee also monitors compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, in addition to oversight of the performance of our internal audit function. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee monitors the effectiveness of our corporate governance guidelines, including whether they are successful in preventing illegal or improper liability-creating conduct. Our Compensation Committee assesses and monitors whether any of our compensation policies and programs has the potential to encourage excessive risk-taking.

With respect to cybersecurity risk oversight, our Board and our Audit Committee receive periodic reports from the appropriate managers on the primary cybersecurity risks facing the Company and the measures the Company is taking to mitigate such risks. In addition to these periodic reports, our Board and our Audit Committee receive updates from management as to changes to the Company’s cybersecurity risk profile or significant newly identified risks.

Director Independence

The Nasdaq Global Select Market listing standards require that a majority of our Board be independent. An “independent director” is defined generally as a person other than an officer or employee of the company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship which in the opinion of our Board, would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Our Board conducts an annual assessment of the independence of each member of our Board, taking into consideration all relationships between the Company and/or our officers, on the one hand, and each director on the other, including the director’s commercial, economic, charitable and family relationships, and such other criteria as our Board may determine from time to time.

Our Board has determined that each of Renah Persofsky, Jodi Butts, David Clanachan, John Herhalt, David Hopkinson and Tom Looney qualifies as “independent” as defined under the applicable Nasdaq Global Select Market rules.

The Board monitors its compliance with Nasdaq Global Select Market requirements for director independence on an ongoing basis, including through an annual review of director questionnaires and consideration of transactions and relationships between each director or any member of his or her immediate family and the Company as well as other relevant facts and circumstances. The Board and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considered the directors’ responses to a questionnaire asking about their

15

---

relationships with the Company (and their immediate family members’ relationships with the Company) and other potential conflicts of interest, as well as material provided by management related to transactions, relationships or arrangements between the Company and the directors or parties related to the directors.

Communications with the Board

Stockholders and other interested parties who wish to communicate directly with any member of our Board, or our non-management directors as a group, may do so by writing to the Board or Non-Management Directors. Historically, the Company has not provided a formal process related to stockholder communications with the Board. Nevertheless, every effort has been made to ensure that the views of stockholders are heard by the Board or individual directors, as applicable, and that appropriate responses are provided to stockholders in a timely manner. The Company believes its responsiveness to stockholder communications to the Board has been very good. The Board has authorized the office of our Legal Department to address any shareholder inquiries and respond to any complaints. For any complaints, the Legal Department will collect the applicable information and investigate the matter as appropriate based on the nature of the matter. The Legal Department is required to promptly forward a copy of each complaint to the Audit Committee. Pursuant to the Code of Conduct, the Legal Department also has the ability to bring the complaint to the attention of the Company’s full Board, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or any other party that the Legal Department deems necessary or appropriate. The Legal Department has the ability to investigate any such complaints and can hire outside advisors such as lawyers, accountants and auditors to conduct procedures under the direction of the Audit Committee.

The Board values the input of the stockholders who engaged with us on these important matters, and believes that the changes enhance stockholder rights, provide increased accountability of the Company and our Board to our stockholders, and give us an opportunity to further demonstrate our values and commitment to advancing diversity, equity and inclusion.

No Related Party Transactions

There were no transactions for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2024, in which Tilray was a participant, in which:

•	the amount involved, exceeded or will exceed $120,000; and

•	any directors, executive officers or holders of more than 5% of capital stock of Tilray, or any member of the immediate family of the foregoing persons, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

Related-Person Transactions Policy

In July 2018, Tilray adopted a formal written policy that Tilray’s executive officers, directors, key employees, holders of more than 5% of any class of Tilray’s voting securities, and any member of the immediate family of and any entity affiliated with any of the foregoing persons, are not permitted to enter into a related-party transaction with Tilray without the prior consent of Tilray’s Audit Committee, or other independent body of Tilray’s Board in the event it is inappropriate for Tilray’s Audit Committee to review such transaction due to a conflict of interest. Any request for Tilray to enter into a transaction with an executive officer, director, principal stockholder or any of their immediate family members or affiliates in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000 will be required to first be presented to Tilray’s Audit Committee for review, consideration and approval. In approving or rejecting any such proposal, Tilray’s Audit Committee will consider the relevant facts and circumstances available and deemed relevant to Tilray’s Audit Committee, including, but not limited to, whether the transaction will be on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related-party’s interest in the transaction.

Code of Conduct

We maintain a Code of Conduct, which has been approved by our Board, to ensure that our directors, employees and officers, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, understand the basic principles that govern our corporate conduct. The Code of Conduct is available on our website - https://ir.tilray.com/corporate-governance/governance-overview.

A stockholder may request a copy of the Code of Conduct by contacting our Corporate Secretary at 265 Talbot Street West, Leamington, Ontario N8H 4H3, Canada.

Any waivers or substantive amendments of the Code of Conduct will be publicly disclosed in an appropriate filing.

Compensation Committee Process and Procedures

Typically, the Compensation Committee meets at least semiannually and with greater frequency if necessary and appropriate. The agenda for each meeting is usually developed by the Chair of the Compensation Committee, in consultation with management.

From time to time, various members of management and other employees as well as external advisors or consultants may be invited by the Compensation Committee to make presentations, to provide financial or other background information or advice or to otherwise participate in Compensation Committee meetings. The Chief Executive Officer may not participate in-camera, or be present during, any deliberations or determinations of the Compensation Committee regarding his compensation or individual performance objectives. The charter of the Compensation Committee grants the Compensation Committee full access to all books, records, facilities and personnel of the Company.

In addition, under the charter, the Compensation Committee has the authority to obtain, at the expense of the Company, advice and assistance from compensation advisors and internal and external legal, accounting or other advisors and other external resources that the Compensation Committee considers necessary or appropriate in the performance of its duties, including the authority to approve the compensation and other terms and conditions of retention for the Company’s executives. The Compensation Committee engaged Korn Ferry to provide current benchmarking analysis and to advise it on proposed compensation arrangements.

The Compensation Committee Report can be found on page 37 of this Proxy Statement.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee met 3 times in the 12 months ended May 31, 2024. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is comprised of Ms. Butts, Ms. Persofsky and Mr. Herhalt, with Ms. Persofsky serving as Chair. We have affirmatively determined that each member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee qualifies as independent under the Nasdaq Global Select Market rules. The Board has adopted a written Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee charter that is available to stockholders on the Company’s website at https://ir.tilray.com/.

Specific responsibilities of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee include:

•	reviewing and recommending to our Board for approval the compensation of our directors;

•	reviewing periodically and evaluating director performance on our Board and its applicable committees and recommending to our Board and management areas for improvement;

•	interviewing, evaluating, nominating and recommending individuals for membership on our Board;

•	reviewing developments in corporate governance practices;

•	overseeing and reviewing our processes and procedures to provide information to our Board and its committees;

•	reviewing and recommending to our Board any amendments to our corporate governance policies; and

•	reviewing and assessing, at least annually, the performance of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the adequacy of its charter.

The Board believes that candidates for director should have certain minimum qualifications, including the ability to read and understand basic financial statements, being over 21 years of age and having the highest personal integrity and ethics. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also intends to consider such factors as possessing relevant expertise upon which to be able to offer advice and guidance to management, having sufficient time to devote to the affairs of the Company, demonstrated excellence in his or her field, having the ability to exercise sound business judgment and having the commitment to rigorously represent the long-term interests of the Company’s stockholders. However, the Board retains the right to modify these qualifications from time to time. Candidates for director nominees are reviewed in the context of the current composition of the

19

---

Board, the operating requirements of the Company and the long-term interests of stockholders. In conducting this assessment, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee typically considers diversity, age, skills and such other factors as it deems appropriate, given the current needs of the Board and the Company, to maintain a balance of knowledge, experience and capability.

In the case of incumbent directors whose terms of office are set to expire, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, if it deems appropriate, will use a professional search firm to compile a list of potential candidates. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews these directors’ overall service to the Company during their terms, including the number of meetings attended, level of participation, quality of performance and any other relationships and transactions that might impair the directors’ independence. In the case of new director candidates, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also determines whether the nominee is independent for Nasdaq purposes, which determination is based upon applicable Nasdaq Global Select Market listing standards, applicable SEC rules and regulations and the advice of counsel, if necessary. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee conducts any appropriate and necessary inquiries into the backgrounds and qualifications of possible candidates after considering the function and needs of the Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee meets to discuss and consider the candidates’ qualifications and then selects a nominee for recommendation to the Board.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider director candidates recommended by stockholders.

CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP MATTERS

Security Ownership of Principal Stockholders

The following table sets forth information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our capital stock as of September 14, 2024, by:

•	each person, or group of affiliated persons, known by us to beneficially own more than 5% of our Common Stock;

•	each of our named executive officers;

•	each of our directors; and

•	all of our executive officers and directors as a group.

The percentage of shares beneficially owned shown in the table is based on shares of Common Stock outstanding as of September 14, 2024. Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC and generally means that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if he, she or it possesses sole or shared voting or investment power of that security, including stock options or warrants that are exercisable within 60 days of September 14, 2024 or restricted stock units that will vest within 60 days of September 14, 2024. Our shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to stock options, warrants or restricted stock units are deemed outstanding for computing the percentage of the person holding such options and the percentage of any group of which the person is a member but are not deemed outstanding for computing the percentage of any other person. Except as indicated by the footnotes below, we believe, based on the information furnished to us, that the persons named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of Common Stock shown that they beneficially own, subject to community property laws where applicable. The information does not necessarily indicate beneficial ownership for any other purpose, including for purposes of Section 13(d) and 13(g) of the Securities Act.

Unless otherwise indicated, the address of each beneficial owner listed in the table below is c/o Tilray Brands, Inc., 265 Talbot Street West, Leamington, Ontario N8H 4H3, Canada.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

This compensation discussion and analysis (“CD&A”) describes our executive compensation philosophy and objectives and the decisions of the Compensation Committee from June 1, 2023, through May 31, 2024 (the “Fiscal Year 2024”). The purpose of the CD&A is to provide stockholders with an understanding of the Company’s compensation philosophy and objectives as well as an overview of the analysis that the Compensation Committee performed in setting Tilray’s executive compensation.

Executive Summary: Compensation Program and FY 2024 Awards

The Compensation Committee of our Board has primary responsibility for establishing our executive compensation philosophy and determining the specific components and levels of each NEO’s compensation. Our compensation program is designed to provide our NEOs with meaningful incentives and rewards, while effectively balancing the short-term and long-term interests of our stockholders with our ability to attract and retain talented executives.

Our compensation approach is tied to our key strategic initiatives. In particular, performance goals are set with the objectives of increasing our revenues and adjusted EBITDA; diversifying our revenue base with accretive and strategic acquisitions; strengthening the balance sheet through ongoing debt reductions; and advancing our product innovation and development. We have created a compensation program that combines short-term and long-term components, cash, equity, fixed compensation and performance-based contingent payments that we believe achieve the following four guiding principles:

•	enhance stockholder value by aligning the financial interests of our NEOs with those of our stockholders;

•	enable us to attract, motivate and retain the people needed to support our long-term goal of being an industry leader;

•	integrate compensation closely with the achievement of our business and performance objectives; and

•	reward the individual performance that contributes to our short-term and long-term successes.

An important element of our compensation philosophy is to provide our NEOs with compensation packages that are competitive with the compensation offered to executives in comparable positions in cannabis, biotech/pharmaceuticals, and consumer-packaged goods companies of similar size and operating in similar geographies in order to attract dynamic and innovative executives to lead our strategic initiatives. As such, the Compensation Committee utilizes and relies significantly on a competitive market analysis when determining the size, components and mix of our NEOs’ compensation packages. The Company’s annual compensation package consists of the following principal components: (a) base salary, (b) eligibility for an annual cash incentive payment and (c) long-term equity incentive compensation.

The Compensation Committee reviews and approves all compensation decisions relating to our executives, including our NEOs, and oversees and administers our executive compensation programs and initiatives. Our compensation program is designed to attract and retain talented employees, to motivate them to achieve our key financial, operational, and strategic goals, and to reward them for superior performance.

Objectives of Fiscal Year 2024 Compensation Program

•	a program structure to attract, motivate and retain a highly qualified executive management team.

•	linking executive compensation to key corporate objectives, including near-term product development and business development goals, as well as to define individual management objectives established by the Compensation Committee;

•	compensate competitively with the practices of similarly staged companies; and

•	create management incentives designed to enhance stockholder value.

Partial Achievement of Fiscal Year 2024 Performance Targets; Transaction Bonus Payments

•

Successfully identified, completed and integrated three (3) strategic acquisition targets, including HEXO Corp. in Canada (acquisition closed July 2023); eight (8) AB craft beverages in the U.S. (acquisition closed in October 2023); and Truss beverages in Canada (acquisition of controlling interest closed in September 2023 and subsequent sale closed in May 2024). Management effectively consolidated and integrated each of these acquired businesses and exceeded all applicable cost-saving targets and facility optimization goals.

•	Achieved a reduction of net leverage ratio at Fiscal Year-end 2024 equal to 1.73, significantly better than the applicable financial target of 2.50 net leverage ratio at Fiscal Year-end 2024.

•	Achieved 26% net revenue growth and net revenues of $789 million for Fiscal Year 2024, as compared to revenue target of $715 million. The applicable financial revenue target was not fully achieved if acquisitions were excluded from the applicable calculation.

•

Adjusted EBITDA1 for Fiscal Year 2024 was equal to $60.5 million, as compared to the adjusted EBITDA target of $65 million and investor guidance of $60–63 million. Therefore, despite improved adjusted EBITDA performance in 2024 as compared to Fiscal Year 2023, and despite achieving revised investor guidance, this performance target was determined not to be fully achieved.

In making incentive award determinations, the Committee also considered other impactful initiatives implemented by management, including operational improvements and improved facility utilization levels; expanded distribution opportunities; product innovations and improved production efficiencies; and successful resolution of litigation claims for significantly less than projected amounts. As a result of the Company’s partial achievement of the Company’s financial and operational targets, together with these other significant accomplishments, the Compensation Committee determined to pay annual cash bonus awards in an amount equal to 20-30% of the applicable bonus targets to the NEOs in respect of the Fiscal Year 2024.

In addition to the annual bonus payments for partial achievement of financial performance targets in respect of Fiscal Year 2024, our NEOs received transaction bonus payments in August 2023 in recognition of their successful efforts in structuring and completing the acquisition of HEXO Corp., which closed in June 2023. This acquisition resulted in meaningful financial and operational benefits to Tilray. These HEXO transaction bonus payments are disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table in respect of Fiscal Year 2024.

Summary of Executive Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

	What We Do						What We Don’t Do
	✔			Pay for Performance – majority of compensation “at risk”			✘			Permit short sales by directors, officers or employees
	✔			Reasonable post-employment and change in control provisions			✘			Allow hedging or pledging of Company stock
	✔			Stock ownership guidelines			✘			Offer change in control tax gross-ups
	✔			Use of Multiple Performance Metrics			✘			Permit repricing of underwater options without stockholder approval
	✔			Clawback Policy for equity incentive awards and cash bonuses in the event of restatement of financial results			✘			Offer unreasonable perquisites
							✘			No single trigger cash severance based solely on a change in control of the Company

Engagement of Independent Compensation Consultant

In respect of compensation amounts for Fiscal Year 2023, the Compensation Committee consulted with an independent compensation consultant, Korn Ferry that provided advisory services.

26

---

During the Fiscal Year 2023 engagement, Korn Ferry conducted a peer group review along with a subsequent analysis of executive base salaries, bonuses, and equity awards. This comprehensive market review also included relevant compensation survey data. Director pay levels were among the items reviewed by Korn Ferry. The Compensation Committee assessed the independence of Korn Ferry prior to its engagement and determined that its work for the Compensation Committee would not raise any conflict of interest.

Peer Group Composition

The Compensation Committee’s review and determination of the applicable peer group appropriately balanced the following four relevant spectrums:

1.	Industry: Focus was given to companies in the cannabis industry as this best represents the main customer, labor and capital markets in which Tilray competes; however, given Tilray is larger than other cannabis companies, it was important to assess other industries as well.

•	Broader biotechnology / pharmaceuticals companies were included because they are similar to Tilray’s medical cannabis business in many respects.

•	Companies in the consumer-packaged goods industry were also considered due to Tilray’s consumer-product based business model, and Tilray’s expansion of products and services in the brewery and distillery industry.

•

Because the Company’s operations span multiple industries, the Committee also believes that a consistent approach across the breadth of the Company’s operations with respect to features of our overall executive compensation structure is best achieved by reference to a group of general industry peers that is broader than the cannabis, biotechnology, and consumer-packaged goods industry peers.

2.	Size: Company size is a strong indicator of organizational complexity and drives scope of accountability.

•	Given the anticipated growth of Tilray following the Business Combination and the cannabis sector overall, a wider financial lens was applied by Korn Ferry, and revenue was the primary indicator of size. Total assets and market capitalization were used as secondary reference points.

3.	Operations: As Tilray is an established international operator in the cannabis industry, focus was given to companies that are based in North America and have international operations.

4.	Location: The regions or countries where Tilray competes for talent. Our approach proposes to focus the executive compensation analysis primarily to Canadian and U.S.-based companies.

•	Since Tilray is U.S.-based with Canadian and U.S.-sourced executives, the Canadian and U.S. markets are both relevant sources of data. Should other markets become relevant in the future, consideration will be given to including companies from those geographies in Tilray’s peer group.

It was important to the Compensation Committee that the peer group reflect high revenue growth companies.

In March 2021, the ultimate outcome of this peer group review was the creation of the following 18-company peer group for Fiscal Year 2022 and subsequent years, for purposes of determining the compensation arrangements for Tilray’s senior executive officers:

	Cannabis Companies Canopy Growth Corporation Curaleaf Holdings, Inc.			Cresco Labs, Inc. Green Thumb Industries, Inc.			GW Pharmaceuticals plc Trulieve Cannabis Corp.
	Biotechnology/Pharmaceutical/Technology Companies   Catalent, Inc. DocuSign, Inc.			Etsy, Inc. Incyte Corporation			Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc. Unity Software Inc.
	Consumer Packaged Goods/Alcohol Companies   Beyond Meat Constellation Brands, Inc.			Monster Beverage National Beverage			The Boston Beer Company, Inc. The Simply Good Food Co.

27

---

Based on Korn Ferry’s guidance, no changes were made to this peer group for purposes of Fiscal Year 2024 compensation. As the cannabis industry and our business evolves and diversifies, the Compensation Committee will continue to evaluate the appropriateness of each peer annually and make any necessary changes for Fiscal Year 2025.

Elements of Compensation for Fiscal Year 2024 Compensation

Our executive compensation program has historically consisted of three principal components: base salary, annual cash incentive payments (together with base salary, “total cash compensation”), and long-term equity incentive compensation. The long-term equity incentive compensation has consisted primarily of restricted stock units, and historically stock options, which vest over time if the executive remains employed with the Company. We also provide our NEOs with certain other benefits including severance and change-of-control benefits, the ability to participate in our 401(k) plan and other employee benefit plans that are generally available to all other eligible employees.

In reviewing our senior executive compensation, the Compensation Committee considers data regarding the competitive market for senior executive talent. Relevant comparisons among executives at these companies are identified and are then compared to the comparable executive at Tilray.

The Compensation Committee does not evaluate total compensation amounts for any senior executive based on a specific benchmark or percentile positioning. Rather, the Compensation Committee considers the compensation levels from the competitive assessment as one factor in determining the total compensation amount for each senior executive. The assessment considered multiple reference points of relevant market data; and for Mr. Simon, the Committee considered the full range of market data from our industry and similarly sized peers. In addition to market data, the Compensation Committee considered numerous other factors when making pay decisions, including individual and Company performance, the scope of each individual’s responsibility and his or her length of time in the role.

Retention of key employees during applicable performance periods

Shareholder Engagement in Response to Say-on-Pay Vote: Improvements to Compensation Practices and Governance Initiatives

In the Company’s most recent “say-on-pay” advisory vote under the Company’s 2023 Proxy Statement, approximately 75% of the shareholder votes cast were voted in favor of our executive compensation program. In response to these disappointing voting results, management and the Board engaged in shareholder outreach and solicitation of feedback, including through multiple “Ask Me Anything” (AMA) forums on Reddit. Following these discussions, and to ensure we understood shareholder concerns, management and the Board undertook the following initiatives to improve our compensation practices and corporate governance.

First, the Compensation Committee engaged Korn Ferry as an independent consultant to provide an extensive competitive analysis and to advise it on new potential compensation arrangements that were implemented in July 2023.

29

---

Second, the Compensation Committee structured at-risk equity incentive awards based on the achievement of specific financial performance metrics and targets. These equity awards included both time and performance-based vesting conditions to ensure alignment with shareholder interests and the retention of key employees.

Third, the Board adopted and implemented a “clawback policy” in 2023, pursuant to which the Company will be entitled to recover erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation from its executive officers in the event the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement to correct previously-issued financial statements.

As a Large Accelerated Filer, the Nasdaq Global Select Market requires the Company to periodically hold a nonbinding advisory vote on our NEO compensation. Pursuant to an advisory vote at the Fiscal Year 2021 annual meeting, the Company adopted a frequency of every two years for solicitation of an advisory vote on our NEO compensation. Accordingly, the most recent vote occurred at the 2023 annual meeting, and the next such vote is expected to be solicited at our 2025 annual meeting. The Compensation Committee considers the results of our annual Say-on-Pay votes in determining our subsequent compensation policies and decisions and engages with our stockholders to obtain additional feedback on our executive compensation program and related pay decisions.

Risk Management Considerations

The Compensation Committee believes that the following features of performance-based bonus and equity programs appropriately incentivize the creation of long-term stockholder value while discouraging behavior that could lead to excessive risk:

•	Financial Performance Measures. The financial metrics used to determine the amount of an executive’s bonus are measures the Committee believes drive long-term stockholder value. The ranges set for these measures are intended to reward success without encouraging excessive risk-taking.

•

No Hedging or Pledging. The Company’s insider trading compliance program prohibits members of the Board of Directors, NEOs and all other employees subject to the Company’s insider trading compliance program from entering into any transaction designed to hedge, or having the effect of hedging, the economic risk of owning the Company’s securities, and prohibits these persons from pledging Company securities.

•

Insider Trading Policies and Procedures. The Board has adopted an insider trading and trading window policy (the “Insider Trading Policy”) that applies to all of the Company's directors, officers, and employees, and consultants, to determine acceptable transactions in the Company’s securities and to prevent the misuse of confidential information about the Company, as well as other companies with which the Company has a business relationship, and to promote compliance with all applicable securities laws. Among other things, the Insider Trading Policy prohibits engaging in transactions in securities based on material non-public information and prohibits directors, executive officers, and certain other employees from buying or selling the Company's securities during certain periods, except pursuant to an approved trading plan under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Rule 10b5-1”). In addition, certain individuals, including directors and officers, are required to receive prior approval from the Chairman and pre-clearance from the Chief Financial Officer and the Global General Counsel prior to engaging in transactions in the Company's securities.

•

Clawback Policy. Pursuant to the terms of the Company’s 2018 Amended and Restated Tilray Brands, Inc. Equity Incentive Plan (the “2018 Equity Plan”), if the Company is required to restate its financial results due to material noncompliance with financial reporting requirements under the securities laws as a result of misconduct by an executive officer, applicable law permits the Company to recover equity incentive compensation from that executive officer (including profits realized from the sale of Company securities). In such a situation, the Board would exercise its business judgment to determine what action it believes is appropriate. Action may include recovery or cancellation of any equity incentive award made to an executive on the basis of having met or exceeded performance targets during a period of fraudulent activity or a material misstatement of financial results if the Board determines that such recovery or cancellation is appropriate due to intentional misconduct by the executive officer that resulted in performance targets being achieved that would not have been achieved absent such misconduct.

30

---

On September 13, 2023, the Board adopted a Policy for Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Incentive Compensation (the “Clawback Policy”) in accordance with the recommendation of the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”). The Clawback Policy became effective September 13, 2023, will be administered by the Compensation Committee, and will apply to current and former executive officers of the Company as defined in Rule 10D 1(d) (each an “Affected Officer”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”). Pursuant to the Clawback Policy, in the event the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement to correct the Company’s material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under securities laws, including restatements that correct an error in previously issued financial statements that is material to the previously issued financial statements or that would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period (collectively, a “Restatement”), the Company will recover erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation from its Affected Officers. Incentive-based compensation includes any compensation that is granted, earned or vested based in whole or in part on the attainment of a financial reporting measure. Erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation is the amount of incentive-based compensation received that exceeds the amount of incentive-based compensation that otherwise would have been received had it been determined based on an applicable Restatement.

Total Cash Compensation of NEOs

Overview

The total cash compensation of our executive compensation program has served a two-fold purpose. Base salaries are intended to provide financial stability, and predictability and security of compensation for our NEOs for fulfilling their core job responsibilities, while the annual cash performance bonus is intended to incentivize and reward the achievement of predetermined corporate objectives that are aligned with our strategic plan as well as individual performance.

Adjustments in total cash compensation targets may then be made based on factors such as an executive’s duties and responsibilities and his or her position in the Company, an executive’s individual contributions, as well as management’s financial forecasts for the upcoming year.

Fiscal Year 2024 Base Salary and Total Cash Compensation Determinations

The Compensation Committee generally establishes annual base salaries for our NEOs commensurate with the level of experience that the executive brings to the position, the nature of the responsibilities required of the executive, such as whether the executive is performing in multiple roles, how successful the executive is in achieving goals established by the Compensation Committee and the executive’s contributions to the Company and internal pay equity considerations, but does not assign any specific weights to these factors. As discussed in other parts of this CD&A, the Compensation Committee also gives significant consideration to the size of the Company and our budgeted operating expenses in setting annual base salaries and has not historically targeted base salaries for our NEOs to any specific level within the range of base salaries paid by our peer group. Base salaries are reviewed annually and may be adjusted to better match competitive market levels or to recognize an executive’s professional growth and development, increased responsibility or other discretionary factors.

In determining the base salary levels for each of Mr. Simon, Mr. Merton and Ms. Faltischek in connection with their continued employment, the Compensation Committee considered the significant increase in responsibility of these executives post-business combination with Aphria Inc., their respective relevant experience and achievements and the level of compensation of our peer group companies and other survey data and individual negotiations with each executive. For each of Mr. Gendel and Mr. Savell, as a new NEO upon joining the Company, their respective base salaries were determined primarily based on market and competitive conditions applicable to their specific position.

The following table sets forth, for each NEO, the annualized base salary for the 2024 Fiscal Year:

31

---

	Name			Fiscal Year 2024 Base Salary
	Irwin Simon			$1,891,760
	Carl Merton(1)			$388,304
	Denise Faltischek			$600,000
	Mitchell Gendel			$560,000
	Roger Savell			$525,000

(1)	The salary of Mr. Merton is converted into USD with an exchange rate on May 31, 2024 of $0.7326 (USD) to $1.0000 (CAD). The annual salary of Mr. Merton is $530,000 (CAD).

Annual Performance Bonus Plan

We offer our NEOs the opportunity to earn annual cash bonuses that are intended to compensate them for achieving short-term company and individual performance goals. Our Compensation Committee establishes the target bonuses of our NEOs, which are evaluated from time to time.

The Company’s compensation program is designed to reward performance relative to corporate financial performance criteria and individual performance. Specifically, the Company’s senior executives are eligible to receive an annual bonus each year in a target amount equal to a percentage of their base salary if the Company fully achieves the financial performance targets established by the Compensation Committee and the CEO and each NEO is determined to have satisfied his or her individual performance criteria. The Company does not apply a formula or use a pre-determined weighting when comparing overall performance against the various individual objectives, and no single objective is material in determining individual awards.

In Fiscal Year 2024, management partially achieved the Company’s financial and operating performance targets. Specifically, management:

•

Successfully identified, completed and integrated three (3) strategic acquisition targets, including HEXO Corp. in Canada (acquisition closed July 2023); eight (8) AB craft beverages in the U.S. (acquisition closed in October 2023); and Truss beverages in Canada (acquisition of controlling interest closed in September 2023 and subsequent sale closed in May 2024). Management effectively consolidated and integrated each of these acquired businesses and exceeded all applicable cost-saving targets and facility optimization goals.

•	Achieved reduction of net leverage ratio at Fiscal Year-end 2024 equal to 1.73, significantly better than the applicable financial target of 2.50 net leverage ratio at Fiscal Year-end 2024.

•	Achieved 26% net revenue growth and net revenues of $789 million for Fiscal Year 2024, as compared to revenue target of $715 million. The applicable financial revenue target was not fully achieved if acquisitions were excluded from the applicable calculation.

•

Adjusted EBITDA2 for Fiscal Year 2024 was equal to $60.5 million, as compared to the adjusted EBITDA target of $65 million and investor guidance of $60–63 million. Therefore, despite improved adjusted EBITDA performance in 2024 as compared to Fiscal Year 2023, and despite achieving revised investor guidance, this performance target was determined not to be fully achieved.

In making incentive award determinations, the Committee also considered other impactful initiatives implemented by management, including operational improvements and improved facility utilization levels; expanded distribution opportunities; product innovations and improved production efficiencies; and successful resolution of litigation claims for significantly less than projected amounts. As a result of the Company’s partial achievement of the Company’s financial and operational targets, together with these other significant accomplishments, the Compensation Committee determined to pay annual cash bonus awards in an amount equal to 20-30% of the applicable bonus targets to the NEOs in respect of the Fiscal Year 2024.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Please see “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to GAAP Measures” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2024 for a reconciliation of such non-GAAP Measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Equity Incentive Compensation

The Company grants long-term incentive awards to our NEOs in the form of restricted share units that may be subject to time-based and performance-based vesting requirements. We use long-term equity-based compensation to incentivize and retain our executive officers by linking their awards to our long-term financial performance. We believe that these long-term incentives motivate our executive officers to grow revenues and earnings, enhance stockholder value and align their interests with those of our stockholders. We award long-term equity-based compensation with restricted stock units that vest over time so long as the executive remains employed with the Company. Thus, the units are designed both to link executives’ interests with those of our stockholders (as the units’ value is based on the value of Tilray Brands, Inc. Common Stock) and to provide a long-term retention incentive for the vesting period, as they generally have value regardless of share price volatility.

Awards of performance-based restricted share units cover multiple years, with a percentage of the units subject to the award becoming eligible to vest each year based on the Company’s and the individual’s performance during that year relative to performance goals reviewed by the Compensation Committee. Before any performance-based restricted share unit is paid, the Compensation Committee must certify that the performance target(s) were satisfied. The Compensation Committee has discretion to determine the performance target(s) and any other restrictions or other limitations of performance-based restricted share units and may reserve discretion to reduce payments below maximum award limits. Thus, the performance units are designed both to motivate executives to maximize the Company’s performance each year and provide a long-term retention incentive for the period covered by the award.

The Compensation Committee determines the size of equity award grants after considering the following factors:

•	the competitive equity compensation practices for comparable positions identified in the applicable market analysis;

•	the executive’s level of responsibility and duties;

•	a comparison to grant levels of other executive officers;

•	individual NEOs’ performance;

•	our corporate performance;

•	our total equity compensation costs relative to total expenses;

•	the executive’s prior experience, experience within his or her specific job and breadth of knowledge; and

•	our corporate objectives for share-based compensation charges and earnings dilution.

The Compensation Committee does not take into consideration an executive’s aggregate equity holdings or equity carrying value in determining annual long-term equity incentive awards.

2024 EBITDA PSU Awards

In July 2023 and April 2024, the Compensation Committee approved certain terms and conditions of performance-based grants to the NEOs and other key employees under the 2018 Equity Plan (the “2024 EBITDA PSU Awards”).

33

---

A portion of the 2024 EBITDA PSU Awards were made in 2023 equal to 50% of these performance-based awards, and represent a contingent right to receive a fixed number of shares of Common Stock upon satisfaction of the underlying performance goals. The remaining 50% of the 2024 EBITDA PSU Awards were made in April 2024 and represent a contingent right to receive a cash payment or its equivalent in shares of Common Stock (as determined by the Compensation Committee). The 2024 EBITDA PSU Awards are subject to all the terms and conditions as set forth in the 2018 Equity Plan and the 2024 EBITDA PSU Award Agreement.

The percentage of these 2024 EBITDA PSU Awards earned will be based on the Company’s financial performance as measured against target goals for annual and cumulative Adjusted EBITDA (the “Performance Goals”), as determined by the Compensation Committee for the period beginning on June 1, 2023, and ending on May 31, 2026 (the “Performance Period”). The annual goals will be determined at the start of each of the three (3) fiscal years during the three-year Performance Period and will be subject to cumulative goals. The 2024 EBITDA PSU Awards will vest as of the end of the Performance Period (May 31, 2026) subject to the NEO’s continuous service. However, the awards will not settle and payout until the percentage of the 2024 EBITDA PSU Awards earned is determined by the Compensation Committee in July 2026 based on satisfaction of the cumulative Performance Goals. The NEO may earn between 0% and 100% of the target award value based on the Company’s achievement of the Performance Goals.

If the NEO’s Continuous Service terminates for any reason other than: (i) without Cause (as defined in the 2018 Plan) within 3 months of the end of the Performance Period; (ii) death; (iii) Disability (as defined in the 2018 Plan); or (iv) in connection with a Change in Control (as defined in the 2018 Plan), unless the Committee determines otherwise, the 2024 EBITDA PSU Award shall be forfeited and canceled immediately without consideration. If the executive officer’s Continuous Service terminates without Cause within 3 months before the end of the Performance Period, a pro rata portion of the 2024 EBITDA PSU Awards (calculated based on the days elapsed in a Performance Period prior to the termination of Continuous Service divided by the total days in the Performance Period) shall vest and become payable. If the executive officer’s Continuous Service terminates due to death or Disability prior to the end of the Performance Period, the 2024 EBITDA PSU Awards will vest at 100% of the target award value. If the executive officer’s Continuous Service is terminated without Cause following a Change in Control, the 2024 EBITDA PSU Awards will vest at 100% of the target award value.

Mr. Simon, Mr. Merton, Ms. Faltischek, Mr. Savell, and Mr. Gendel were granted 2024 EBITDA PSU Awards in the following amounts, respectively.

	Name			Total Value of PSUs assuming Target Achievement (100%)
	Irwin D. Simon			$16,995,828
	Carl Merton			$2,386,684
	Denise Faltischek			$2,420,980
	Roger Savell			$1,734,504
	Mitchell Gendel			$2,102,824

Annual LTIP RSU Grants

In addition to the 2024 EBITDA PSU Awards, the Compensation Committee awarded annual LTIP RSU grants to most of the Tilray senior executive officers in July 2023. These LTIP RSU awards, as well as new hire and annual RSU awards, vest in tranches over two years with 50% of the shares subject to the awards generally vesting one year from the vesting commencement date and the remaining 50% of shares vesting on the second anniversary of the vesting commencement date. Restricted stock units provide long-term incentive compensation that has greater retention value as compared to stock options in a flat or down market while minimizing earnings dilution.

34

---

	Name			Total Annual LTIP RSUs			Annual LTIP RSU Target Percentage of Base Salary
	Irwin Simon			2,356,218			250%
	Carl Merton			348,954			175%
	Denise Faltischek			498,705			175%
	Mitchell Gendel			462,435			175%
	Roger Savell			453,368			175%

Fiscal Year 2024 Compensation Awards Following Closing of Acquisition HEXO Corp.

In addition to the annual bonus payments for partial achievement of financial performance targets in respect of Fiscal Year 2024, our NEOs received transaction bonus payments in August 2023 in recognition of their successful efforts in structuring and completing the acquisition of HEXO Corp., which closed in June 2023. This acquisition resulted in meaningful financial and operational benefits to Tilray. These HEXO transaction bonus payments are disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table in respect of Fiscal Year 2024.

Practices Related to the Grant of Equity Awards

Under the Company’s practices, the approval of long-term equity incentive compensation for the Company’s regular annual equity awards (including stock options and RSU and PSU grants to our NEOs) is typically made on or about July 30^th each year, after the filing of the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. Neither the Board nor the Compensation Committee take into account material non-public information when determining the timing or terms of equity awards, nor do we time disclosure of material non-public information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation.

During Fiscal Year 2024, the Company did not grant stock options (or similar awards) to any NEO during any period beginning four business days before and ending one business day after the filing of any company periodic report on Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, or the filing or furnishing of any company Form 8-K that disclosed any material non-public information.

Other Compensation and Benefits

Severance and Change of Control Benefits. Our NEOs are entitled to certain severance and change of control payments and benefits pursuant to our executive agreements with our NEOs. The terms of executive agreements are described in more detail below in the sections entitled “Employment, Severance and Change of Control Benefits.” The Compensation Committee believes these agreements are an essential element of our executive compensation program and assist the Compensation Committee in recruiting and retaining talented executives. The Compensation Committee also believes these benefits serve to minimize the distractions to the executive, reduce the risk that the executive will depart the Company before an acquisition is consummated, and allow the executive to focus on continuing normal business operations and the success of a potential transaction, rather than worrying about how business decisions that may be in our best interest and the interests of our stockholders will impact his or her own financial security. Further, these agreements are in line with customary practices at an executive level at our peer companies.

Other Benefits. We believe that establishing a competitive benefit package consistent with companies with which we compete for employees is an important factor in attracting and retaining talented employees. Thus, we provide our NEOs with employee benefits on the same basis as offered to our full time non-executive employees, including health and dental insurance, supplemental life insurance, short-term and long-term disability, and a 401(k) plan.

Stock Ownership Guidelines

The Company’s stock ownership guidelines require that each named executive officer own a significant equity stake in the Company during their employment. The Compensation Committee believes that stock ownership by senior managers strengthens their commitment to the future of the Company and further aligns their interests with those of our stockholders. The Board believes that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to align the economic interests of the Company’s senior executives and independent directors with those of the stockholders. To achieve this, the Compensation Committee has recommended, and

35

---

the Board has adopted, a minimum share ownership policy applicable to all of the senior executives and the independent directors of the Company. Each senior executive and the independent directors are expected to establish over a period of five years, ownership of a prescribed number of Common Shares, which have a value which is equivalent to the following multiples of the senior executive’s base salary or, in the case of an independent director, the base annual cash retainer paid to such independent director by the Company and subsequently maintain such minimum ownership position for the duration of their tenure:

•	Chief Executive Officer: 3× base salary

•	Independent Directors 2× base annual cash retainer

•	Chief Financial Officer 1× base salary

•	Other Officers 0.5× base salary

The level of ownership is expected to be satisfied by each officer or director within five years after first becoming subject to these guidelines. Once the officer’s or director’s level of ownership satisfies the applicable guideline, such ownership levels are expected to be maintained for as long as the officer or director remains in their role with the Company. In the event of an increase in an officer’s base salary or a director’s base annual cash retainer, such individual will have five years from the time of the increase to acquire any additional Common Shares required to meet these guidelines if necessary.

Tax and Accounting Considerations

Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code

Section 280G of the Code disallows a tax deduction with respect to excess parachute payments to certain executives of companies that undergo a change in control. In addition, Section 4999 of the Code imposes a 20% penalty on the individual receiving the excess payment.

Parachute payments are compensation that is linked to or triggered by a change in control and may include, but are not limited to, transaction bonus payments, severance payments, certain fringe benefits and payments and acceleration of vesting under long-term incentive plans. Excess parachute payments are parachute payments that exceed a threshold determined under Section 280G of the Code based on the executive’s prior compensation. In approving the compensation arrangements for our named executive officers in the future, our Compensation Committee will consider all elements of the cost to the Company of providing such compensation, including the potential impact of Section 280G of the Code. However, our Compensation Committee may, in its judgment, authorize compensation arrangements that could give rise to loss of deductibility under Section 280G of the Code and the imposition of excise taxes under Section 4999 of the Code when it believes that such arrangements are appropriate to attract and retain executive talent. Note that none of our NEOs (or other executives or employees) are entitled to any tax gross-up or similar payments with respect to any excise taxes that may be imposed in accordance with the foregoing.

Accounting Standards

ASC Topic 718 requires us to calculate the grant date “fair value” of our stock-based awards using a variety of assumptions. ASC Topic 718 also requires us to recognize an expense for the fair value of equity-based compensation awards. Grants of time-based restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units under our equity incentive award plans will be accounted for under ASC Topic 718. Our Compensation Committee will regularly consider the accounting implications of significant compensation decisions, especially in connection with decisions that relate to our equity incentive award plans and programs. As accounting standards change, we may revise certain programs to appropriately align the accounting expense of our equity awards with our overall executive compensation philosophy and objectives.

Role of NEOs in Compensation Decisions; Input from Senior Management

The Committee considers input from senior management in making determinations regarding the overall executive compensation program and the individual compensation of the named executive officers. As part of the Company’s annual planning process, the CEO and CFO develop targets for the Company’s incentive compensation programs and present them to the Compensation Committee. These targets are reviewed by the Compensation Committee to ensure alignment with the Company’s strategic and annual operating plans, taking

36

---

into account the targeted year-over-year improvement as well as identified opportunities and risks. Based on performance appraisals, including an assessment of the achievement of pre-established financial and individual “key performance indicators,” the CEO recommends to the Compensation Committee cash and long-term incentive award levels for the Company’s other executive officers. Each year, the CEO presents to the Compensation Committee his evaluation of each executive officer’s contribution and performance over the past year, and strengths and development needs and actions for each of the executive officers. The Compensation Committee exercises its discretionary authority and makes the final decisions regarding the form of awards, targets, award opportunities and payout value of awards. No executive officer directly participates in discussions relating to his or her own compensation.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

Our Compensation Committee currently consists of Ms. Persofsky, Mr. Hopkinson, and Mr. Looney. No member of our Compensation Committee has ever been an officer or employee of our Company. None of our executive officers serve, or have served during the last year, as a member of the Board, Compensation Committee or other board committee performing equivalent functions of any other entity that has one or more executive officers serving as one of our directors or on our Compensation Committee.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company is composed entirely of non-employee directors, each of whom has been determined, in the Board’s business judgment, to be independent. The Compensation Committee is responsible for oversight and review of the Company’s compensation and benefit plans. The Board has adopted a written Compensation Committee charter that is available to stockholders on the Company’s website at https://ir.tilray.com/. The Board and the Compensation Committee review and assess the adequacy of the charter of the Compensation Committee on an annual basis.

The CD&A is management’s report on the Company’s compensation programs and, among other things, describes material elements of compensation paid to the President and Chief Executive Officer and the other NEOs. The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the CD&A, as required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K, with the management of the Company. Based on such review and discussion, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board that the CD&A be included in this proxy statement and incorporated by reference from this proxy statement into the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 30, 2024.

This Compensation Committee Report does not constitute soliciting material and should not be deemed filed or incorporated by reference into any other Company filing with the SEC, except to the extent that the Company specifically incorporates this Report by reference into another Company filing.

(1)	Each of the named executive officers received a base salary increase effective as of June 1, 2024.

(2)

These amounts reported do not reflect the amounts actually received by our NEOs. Instead, these amounts reflect the aggregate grant date fair value of each stock option or restricted stock unit award granted to our NEOs on each of July 26, 2021 (during Fiscal Year 2022); July 26, 2022 (during Fiscal Year 2023); and July 26, 2023 (during Fiscal Year 2024), as computed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC 718. Assumptions used in the calculation of the grant date fair value of each equity award are included in Note 19 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2024.

As required by SEC rules, the amounts shown exclude the impact of estimated forfeitures related to service-based vesting conditions. RSU values in the Stock Awards column are based on performance achieved at 100% for the included RSUs, which was the probable outcome of performance conditions as of the grant date for the included RSUs.

The awards described in the Compensation Discussion & Analysis section under “2024 EBITDA PSU Awards” represent a contingent right to receive its equivalent in shares of Common Stock (or cash) for which there was no grant date fair value for purposes of ASC 718 due to the three-year cumulative performance targets not having been set during Fiscal Year 2024. Therefore, there is no corresponding amount included in the Summary Compensation Table above for the 2024 EBITDA PSU Awards. For the 2024 EBITDA PSU Awards, the payout of each NEO’s included PSUs if earned at maximum levels would be $1.93 per PSU based on the value of a share of Company common stock as of the date of grant. The total payout of the 2024 EBITDA PSU Awards if earned at maximum levels based on the value of a share of Company common stock as of the date of grant would be $16,995,828 for Mr. Simon, $2,386,684 for Mr. Merton; $2,420,980 for Ms. Faltischek; $1,743,504 for Mr. Savell; and $2,102,824 for Mr. Gendel.

For the 2022 HEXO PSU Awards, the grant date fair value of each NEO’s included PSUs if earned at maximum levels was $3.54 per PSU. The total value of the 2022 HEXO PSU Awards if earned at maximum levels was $5,000,000 for Mr. Simon; $665,000 for Mr. Merton, $665,000 for Ms. Faltischek; $665,000 for Mr. Savell; and $665,000 for Mr. Gendel.

(3)	Represents the cash performance bonus earned under our Annual Performance Bonus Plan described above.

(4)	Further details for Fiscal Year 2024 are included in the “All Other Compensation” table below.

(5)	These amounts include transaction bonuses paid to our NEOs in August 2022 (Fiscal Year 2023) in recognition of the HEXO convertible debt investment.

(6)	These amounts include transaction bonuses paid to our NEOs in August 2023 (Fiscal Year 2024) in recognition of successful closing of the HEXO acquisition.

The share amounts in this column for the awards labeled “2024 EBITDA PSU Awards” represent the number of shares granted on the grant date for 2024 EBITDA PSU Awards. These awards are described in the Compensation Discussion & Analysis section under “2024 EBITDA PSU Awards” granted during Fiscal Year 2024, and did not have a fair value for purposes of ASC 718 on the grant date due to the three-year cumulative performance targets not having been set during Fiscal Year 2024. Therefore, there is no corresponding dollar amount for the 2024 EBITDA PSU Awards included in the Grant of Plan-Based Awards table. In addition, the 2024 EBITDA PSU Awards that were made in April 2024 represent a contingent right to receive a cash payment or its equivalent in shares of Common Stock (as determined by the Compensation Committee). See footnote 2 to the Summary Compensation Table for a discussion of the value of the 2024 EBITDA PSU Awards based on the value of a share of Company common stock as of the date of grant.

(2)

The dollar amounts in this column represent the grant date fair value of the product of the number of shares granted and the closing market price of our common stock on the grant date for time-based restricted stock units. These annual LTIP grants vest at the rate of 50% of the RSUs on the twelve (12) month anniversary of the grant date (the “Vesting Date”), and the remaining 50% RSUs on the 24 months anniversary of the Vesting Date.

Irwin Simon

On July 27, 2021, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Irwin D. Simon in connection with his appointment as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board following the business combination with Aphria Inc., at an annual base salary of $1,700,000, effective as of the Effective Date, which may be increased but not decreased, as determined at an annual review of his performance and compensation by the Compensation Committee. Ms. Simon’s annual base salary was increased to $1,891,760 for Fiscal Year 2024.

Mr. Simon is eligible to earn an additional annual performance-based cash bonus in amounts ranging from 200% of his base salary at “target” to 350% of his base salary at “maximum,” if performance benchmarks, as determined in accordance with the employment agreement, are met. For the Fiscal Year 2024, the Compensation Committee determined Mr. Simon’s annual cash bonus to be $1,040,000, or 27% of his target amount.

Mr. Simon is also entitled to participate in the 2018 Equity Plan or any other equity compensation plan adopted and/or modified from time to time by the Compensation Committee. Mr. Simon is eligible to earn annual long-term incentive awards as a percentage of his base salary in effect on the grant date of such awards, 250% of his base salary at “target”, with such percentage to be determined by the Board. For Fiscal Year 2024, the Compensation Committee determined Mr. Simon’s annual RSU equity grant to be $4,547,501 in value as of the grant date (or 2,356,218 RSUs).

As additional incentive to entering into the employment agreement, on July 27, 2021, Mr. Simon received the following one-time equity grants having an aggregate value as of the July 27, 2021 grant date equal to $15,000,000, calculated using the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the grant date: (i) 392,772 performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”), subject to certain stock appreciation performance conditions and vesting as set forth in the employment agreement; (ii) 392,772 time-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”), which vest one-third on each of June 1, 2022, June 1, 2023, and June 1, 2024; and (iii) 392,772 restricted stock units (the “Synergy Equity Awards”), subject to performance-based vesting of 50% upon achievement of savings equal

42

---

to $50,000,000 and 100% vesting upon achievement of savings of $80,000,000, and further subject to time-based vesting, with 50% vesting on July 27, 2022, and 25% vesting on each of July 27, 2023, and July 27, 2024, given that the performance-based vesting conditions for the Synergy Equity Awards were satisfied.

The term of Mr. Simon’s employment agreement will continue until otherwise terminated in accordance with its terms. The employment agreement may be terminated by Mr. Simon at any time for any reason, provided that he gives the Company four weeks’ advance written notice of his resignation without “good reason” and subject to a notice and cure period in the event that he resigns with “good reason” as described below. The employment agreement may also be terminated by Tilray for any reason, with or without “cause,” subject to special notice requirements in certain instances as described below.

As defined in Mr. Simon’s employment agreement, a termination for “cause” includes termination by the Company due to conviction of a felony or entry of a plea of guilty or nolo contender to any felony (other than relating to cannabis); refusal to perform his reasonably assigned duties for the Company (other than as a result of incapacity due to physical or mental illness); engaging in any act of material dishonesty or fraud; willful misconduct or gross negligence in the performance of his duties; material breach of his employment agreement (other than violations of policies); or willfully and materially violating material written policy applicable to Mr. Simon that directly results in the Company incurring material liability. Any termination due to Mr. Simon’s refusal to perform his reasonably assigned duties, material breach of his employment agreement or willful and material violation of material written policies requires the Company to provide prior written notice and a 30-day cure period to Mr. Simon.

Mr. Simon’s employment will be considered to be terminated with “good reason” if he resigns because the Company (i) reduces his base salary or fails to pay any amounts which he is due; (ii) materially reduces Mr. Simon’s titles, duties, authorities or reporting relationships; (iii) assigns duties to him that are materially inconsistent with the positions of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board; (iv) removes Mr. Simon from such positions; (v) requires that his principal place of employment be outside of New York County, New York; or (vi) materially breaches (or any affiliate of the Company materially breaches) the employment agreement or any other agreement to which Mr. Simon is a party. In this event, Mr. Simon must notify the Company within 30 days and must thereafter allow the Company 30 days to cure the event that is the basis of his “good reason” termination.

Mr. Simon is also entitled to (1) receive individual disability and life insurance coverage paid by the Company, (2) receive other executive benefits, including a car allowance of $1,200 per month and a Company-expensed smartphone and phone plan, (3) participate at the Company’s expense in all employee benefit plans maintained by Tilray for executive officers, including participation of Mr. Simon’s eligible dependents, and (4) receive other customary employee benefits.

In the event Mr. Simon’s employment is terminated, whether by the Company or by Mr. Simon, and regardless of the reason therefor, he would be entitled to receive the following severance benefits: (i) accrued but unpaid base salary for services rendered up to the date of termination; (ii) reimbursement for the business expenses incurred up to the date of termination; (iii) amounts he has earned and that are owed to him pursuant to any written agreements, compensation and/or equity plans or programs of the Company or any of its affiliates; (iv) amounts to which he is entitled pursuant to any employee benefit plans of the Company or any of its affiliates; and (v) any indemnification rights he has in connection with his service as an officer and/or director of the Company and/or its affiliates, whether pursuant to the Company’s governing documents or otherwise (collectively, the “Accrued Benefits”).

The employment agreement also includes severance benefits that are subject to signing a release under certain circumstances. The amount of severance Mr. Simon is entitled to is dependent on the reason for his termination and whether it occurs within two years following a change of control of the Company. Mr. Simon is eligible to receive severance compensation upon an involuntary termination of employment without “cause” or a voluntary termination of employment for “good reason” (in each case, as defined in his employment agreement), subject to the executive executing and not rescinding a customary release in a form acceptable to the Company. If such termination does not occur within two years after a change of control, Mr. Simon will be entitled to (a) cash severance equal to 1.5 times (1.5x) the sum of (i) his then-base salary plus (ii) his target bonus; (b) continued benefits provided under the employment agreement, at entirely the Company’s cost, for 18 months, provided that if the Company determines that providing the continued health insurance under this benefit shall cause the plan

43

to violate nondiscrimination regulations, then the Company shall pay to Mr. Simon for 18 months following the termination of his employment the monthly COBRA premium for Mr. Simon and his dependents, and in such case, the Company will pay to Mr. Simon, on an after-tax basis, a bonus equal to the grossed-up amount of all taxes applicable to the payments in lieu of continued health insurance benefits; (c) full vesting and payment of all unvested time-based equity and any performance-based awards that would be vested by the third anniversary of the effective date of his employment agreement, based upon satisfaction of performance-criteria that have already been satisfied at time of termination; (d) any bonus the performance conditions of which have been met in respect of a prior year, which has not yet been paid at time of termination; and (e) the Accrued Benefits.

If such termination does occur within two years after a change of control of the Company, Mr. Simon will be entitled to (a) 2.5 times (2.5x) the then-base salary; (b) 2.5 times (2.5x) the amount of the highest paid bonus (excluding transformation bonus, as defined in his employment agreement) prior to the effective date of the change in control of the Company; (c) the Accrued Benefits; (d) continued benefits provided under the employment agreement, at entirely the Company’s cost, for 30 months, provided that if the Company determines that providing the continued health insurance under this benefit shall cause the plan to violate nondiscrimination regulations, then the Company shall pay to Mr. Simon for 30 months (or such lesser period if benefits can be provided under the Company’s plan) following the termination of his employment the monthly COBRA premium for Mr. Simon and his dependents, and in such case, the Company will pay to Mr. Simon, on an after-tax basis, a bonus equal to the grossed-up for amount of all taxes applicable to the payments in lieu of continued health insurance benefits; (e) full vesting and payment of (i) all unvested time-based equity, (ii) all unvested performance-based grant that would vest by the third anniversary of the effective date of the employment agreement upon achieving the greater of the highest 30 day average share price prior to the change of control or the share price in the change on control, and (iii) all unvested synergy equity grant as provided under the employment agreement; (f) car allowance as provided under the employment agreement and the continued payment by the Company of the lease for Mr. Simon’s office and executive assistant located in New York City for a period of 2.5 years from the date of termination following a change in control of the Company. Mr. Irwin is also entitled to certain benefits and payments upon his death or disability. In the event that the severance pay and other benefits provided for in the employment agreement or otherwise payable to Mr. Simon constitutes “parachute payments” under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code and would be subject to excise taxes, then such benefits will either be delivered in full or delivered as to such lesser extent which would result in no portion of such severance pay and other benefits being subject to excise taxes, whichever results in the receipt by the executive of the greatest amount of benefits.

CEO Pay Ratio

Under SEC regulations, we are required to calculate and disclose the total annual compensation paid to our median employee, as well as the ratio of the total compensation paid to the median employee as compared to the total compensation paid to our CEO (the “CEO Pay Ratio”).

Set forth below is a description of the methodology, including material assumptions, adjustments and estimates we used to identify the median employee for purposes of calculating the CEO Pay Ratio:

•	We identified our median employee from all employees, including full-time and part-time employees who were on our payroll records as of a determination date of May 31, 2024.

•	Compensation for international employees was converted to U.S. dollar equivalents based on the applicable exchange rate.

•	In determining compensation for purposes of the median calculation, we used each employee’s annual base pay and cash equivalent of benefits.

•	We annualized the base salary earned during the fiscal year ending May 31, 2024 by all employees.

•	We then calculated the annual total base compensation of the identified median employee in accordance with the requirements of the Summary Compensation Table.

We determined our median employee’s total compensation based upon the foregoing methodology for Fiscal Year 2024, including any perquisites and other benefits, in the same manner that we determine the total compensation of our named executive officers for purposes of the Summary Compensation Table disclosed above.

For the fiscal year ending May 31, 2024, the median employee’s total compensation was $40,088. As disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table, the total compensation of our CEO was $10,142,971, which includes equity awards valued on the date of grant (July 2023) equal to $4,547,501. This equity award amount was based on the grant date value of the Company’s stock equal to $1.93 per share, and is subject to retention and financial-performance based vesting conditions. Inclusive of the equity-incentive awards granted in July 2023, the resulting ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO to the annual total compensation of the median employee was 253 to 1. The foregoing pay ratio represents the Company’s estimate calculated in a manner the Company believe to be consistent with the SEC rules and applicable guidance.

48

---

In calculating the pay ratio, SEC rules allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, apply certain exclusions, and make reasonable estimates and assumptions reflecting their unique employee populations. Therefore, our reported pay ratio may not be comparable to that reported by other companies due to differences in industries, scope of international operations, business models and scale, as well as the different estimates, assumptions, and methodologies applied by other companies in calculating their respective pay ratios. Neither the Compensation Committee nor management of the Company uses the pay ratio measure in making compensation decisions.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control

The following table provides information concerning the estimated payments and benefits to which each current NEO would be entitled under the applicable agreement assuming that the triggering event took place on May 31, 2024. There can be no assurance that a triggering event would produce the same or similar results as those estimated below if such event occurs on any other date or at any other price, of if any other assumption used to estimate potential payments and benefits is not correct. Due to the number of factors that affect the nature and amount of any potential payments or benefits, any actual payments and benefits may be different.

Say-On-Pay Results; Next Vote for 2025 Annual Meeting

As a Large Accelerated Filer, the Nasdaq Global Select Market requires the Company to periodically hold a nonbinding advisory vote on our NEO compensation. Pursuant to an advisory vote at the Fiscal Year 2021 annual meeting, the Company adopted a frequency of every two years for solicitation of an advisory vote on our NEO compensation. Accordingly, the most recent vote occurred at the 2023 annual meeting, and the next such vote is expected to be solicited at our 2025 annual meeting. The Compensation Committee considers the results of our annual Say-on-Pay votes in determining our subsequent compensation policies and decisions and engages with our stockholders to obtain additional feedback on our executive compensation program and related pay decisions.

The Board and Compensation Committee greatly value shareholder engagement and are committed to maintaining ongoing dialogue and incorporating stockholder feedback into the design of the executive compensation program going forward.

PAY VERSUS PERFORMANCE

As required by Section 953(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship between “compensation actually paid” to our PEO and to our other non-PEOs and certain financial performance of the Company. Compensation actually paid, as determined under SEC requirements, does not reflect the actual amount of compensation earned by or paid to our executive officers during a covered year. For further information concerning the Company’s pay-for-performance philosophy and how the Company aligns executive compensation with the Company’s performance, refer to the Compensation Discussion and Analysis.

Fair value amounts below are computed in a manner consistent with the fair value methodology used to account for share-based payments in our financial statements under generally accepted accounting principles. For time-based RSU awards, fair value is calculated using the closing price on applicable year-end dates or, in the case of vesting dates, the actual vesting price. For PSU awards, the same valuation methodology as RSU awards is used to calculate fair value except year-end and vesting date values are multiplied by the probability of achievement as of each such date. The estimated probability of achievement was 100% for the Synergy PSUs and HEXO PSUs The awards described in the Compensation Discussion & Analysis section under “2024 EBITDA PSU Awards” granted during Fiscal Year 2024 did not have a fair value for purposes of ASC 718 on the grant date or as the last day of Fiscal Year 2024 due to the three-year cumulative performance targets not having been set during Fiscal Year 2024. Therefore, there is no corresponding amount for the 2024 EBITDA PSU Awards included in the Pay Versus Performance Table or the tables in the footnotes to the Pay Versus Performance table below. See footnote 2 to the Summary Compensation Table for a discussion of the value of the 2024 EBITDA PSU Awards based on the value of a share of Company common stock as of the date of grant. Total shareholder return has been calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K.

The “2024 EBITDA PSU Awards” as described in the Compensation Discussion & Analysis section are not included because there was no change in fair value as of the end of Fiscal Year 2024 based upon the probable outcome of the performance conditions as of the last day of Fiscal Year 2024. There was no grant date fair value for purposes of ASC 718 due to the three-year cumulative performance targets not having been set during Fiscal Year 2024.

Financial Performance Measures

As described in greater detail above in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” our executive compensation program reflects a variable pay-for-performance philosophy. The metrics that we use for both our long-term and short-term incentive awards are selected based on an objective of incentivizing our named executive officers to increase the value of our enterprise for our stockholders. The most important financial performance measures used by us to link executive compensation actually paid to our named executive officers, for the most recently completed fiscal year, to our performance are as follows:

	Adjusted EBITDA
	Consolidated Net Revenue

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

Our Audit Committee consists of Messrs. Clanachan, Herhalt, Hopkinson and Looney, with Mr. Herhalt serving as the Chair. Our Board has determined each member of our Audit Committee to be independent under the listing standards and Rule 10A-3(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. The Board has adopted a written Audit Committee charter that is available to stockholders on the Company’s website at https://ir.tilray.com/. The Board and the Audit Committee review and assess the adequacy of the charter of the Audit Committee on an annual basis.

The primary purpose of the Audit Committee is to discharge the responsibilities of our Board with respect to our accounting, financial and other reporting and internal control practices and to oversee our independent registered accounting firm.

It is not the duty of the Audit Committee to plan or conduct audits or to prepare our consolidated financial statements. Management is responsible for preparing our consolidated financial statements and has the primary responsibility for assuring their accuracy and completeness, and the independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for auditing those consolidated financial statements and expressing their opinion as to the fair presentation of our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows, in accordance with GAAP. However, the Audit Committee does consult with management and our independent registered public accounting firm prior to the presentation of consolidated financial statements to stockholders and, as appropriate, initiates inquiries into various aspects of our financial affairs. In addition, the Audit Committee is responsible for the oversight of the independent registered public accounting firm; considering and approving the appointment of and approving all engagements of, and fee arrangements with, our independent registered public accounting firm; and the evaluation of the independence of our independent registered public accounting firm.

In the absence of their possession of information that would give them a reason to believe that such reliance is unwarranted, the members of the Audit Committee rely without independent verification on the information provided to them, and on the representations made, by our management and our independent registered public accounting firm. Accordingly, the Audit Committee’s oversight does not provide an independent basis to determine that management has maintained appropriate accounting and financial reporting principles or appropriate internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. The Audit Committee’s authority and oversight responsibilities do not independently assure that the audits of our consolidated financial statements are conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, or that our consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with GAAP.

The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2024 with management of the Company. The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the quality, not just the acceptability, of our accounting principles; the reasonableness of significant judgments; and the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements with our management and our independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee has discussed with our independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by Auditing Standard No. 1301, Communications with Audit Committees, as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”).

The Audit Committee has also received the written disclosures and the letter from our independent registered public accounting firm required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent accountants’ communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence and discussed with our independent registered public accounting firm the accounting firm’s independence.

Based on the foregoing, the Audit Committee has recommended to the board of directors that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2024.

This Audit Committee Report does not constitute soliciting material and should not be deemed filed or incorporated by reference into any other Company filing with the SEC, except to the extent that the Company specifically incorporates this Report by reference into another Company filing.

PROPOSAL 2

RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT

REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Audit Committee of the Board has selected PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2025 and has further directed that management submit the selection of its independent registered public accounting firm for ratification by the stockholders at the Annual Meeting. Representatives of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP are expected to attend the Annual Meeting virtually. They will have an opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Neither the Company’s Bylaws nor other governing documents or law require stockholder ratification of the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. However, the Audit Committee of the Board is submitting the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to the stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. If the stockholders fail to ratify the selection, the Audit Committee of the Board will reconsider whether or not to retain that firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee of the Board in its discretion may direct the appointment of different independent auditors at any time during the year if they determine that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter at the Annual Meeting will be required to ratify the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP AS OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR.

Principal Accountant Fees

The following table presents the aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2024.

	Type of Fees(1)			2023			2024
	Audit Fees(2)			$1,125,111			$1,477,595
	Audit Related Fees(3)			127,364			83,518
	Tax Fees			—			—
	All other Fees			112,380			148,000
	Total			$1,364,855			$1,709,113

(1)	The amounts shown are in USD.

(2)

Audit fees are fees for professional services rendered in connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements (including an assessment of our internal control over financial reporting) included in Item 8 of our Annual Reports filed on Form 10-K, reviews of our condensed consolidated financial statements included in our Quarterly Reports filed on Form 10-Q, statutory filings and registration statements.

(3)	Audit-related fees are fees for services related to accounting consultation, compliance with regulatory requirements, and additional audit and audit-related fees for statutory audits and statutory reviews of non-consolidated controlled related entities.

Audit Committee’s Pre-Approval Policy

The Audit Committee has adopted a policy and procedures for the pre-approval of audit and non-audit services rendered by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. The policy generally pre-approves specified services in the defined categories of audit services, audit-related services and tax services up to specified amounts. Pre-approval may also be given as part of the Audit Committee’s approval of the scope of the engagement of the independent auditor or on an individual, explicit, case-by-case basis before the independent auditor is engaged to provide each service. The pre-approval of services may be delegated to one or more of the Audit Committee’s members, but the decision must be reported to the full Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting.

The Audit Committee of the Board has determined that the rendering of services other than audit services by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.

PROPOSAL 3

AUTHORIZED SHARES PROPOSAL

General

The Board has unanimously approved an amendment (the “Authorized Shares Proposal”) to the Charter to increase the number of authorized shares of capital stock from 1,208,000,000 to 1,426,000000, consisting of 1,416,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. The Authorized Shares Proposal only increases the number of authorized shares of Common Stock and will not change the number of authorized shares of preferred stock.

The additional shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance by the Authorized Shares Proposal would be a part of the existing class of Common Stock and, if and when issued, would have the same rights and privileges as the Common Stock presently issued and outstanding. The Company’s stockholders do not have preemptive rights with respect to its Common Stock and accordingly, should the Board elect to issue additional shares of common stock, existing stockholders would not have any preferential rights to purchase the shares.

Provided the stockholders approve the Authorized Shares Proposal, the increased number of shares would be authorized for issuance but would remain unissued until such time as the Board approves a specific issuance of such shares. Other than future issuances under the Company’s equity compensation plans, the Company currently has no plans or arrangements to issue the additional authorized shares of Common Stock that will result in the event that the Company’s stockholders approve, and the Company implements, the Authorized Shares Proposal.

The description of the Authorized Shares Proposal amendment to the Charter is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the proposed revisions, which are attached as Appendix A. Additions are indicated by underlining, and deletions are indicated by strike-throughs. However, the text of the Authorized Shares Proposal is subject to revision to include such changes as may be required by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and as deemed necessary and advisable to effect the Authorized Shares Proposal. The Board reserves its right to elect not to proceed with and abandon the Authorized Shares Proposal if it determines, in its sole discretion at any time, that this proposal is no longer in the best interests of our stockholders.

If we fail to obtain stockholder approval of this proposal at the Annual Meeting, we intend to continue to seek to obtain stockholder approval at each subsequent annual meeting of stockholders and/or special meeting of stockholders until such approval has been obtained, and we will incur the costs associated therewith.

The Authorized Shares Proposal amendment to the Charter would become effective upon the filing of a Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which we would file promptly following the Annual Meeting if our stockholders approve the Authorized Shares Proposal.

Background

The Charter currently authorizes the issuance of up to 1,208,000,000 shares of capital stock, of which (a) 1,198,000,000 shares were classified as Common Stock and (b) 10,000,000 shares were classified as preferred stock.

As of the close of business on September 14, 2024, there were approximately 875,444,828 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, no preferred stock issued and outstanding, and 105,606,883 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance pursuant to outstanding option awards and other equity compensation awards, meaning that we presently have 226,948,289 authorized shares available for issuance.

Purpose of the Proposal

The Board believes it is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders to have a greater number of authorized shares of Common Stock to provide the Company with flexibility to issue shares of common stock for any proper corporate purpose, which could include strategic investments, strategic partnership arrangements, awards or grants under employee equity incentive plans, equity based financing to support the execution of the Company’s business strategy, or other general purposes.

58

---

The availability of additional authorized shares of Common Stock would enhance the business and financial flexibility and allow the Company to execute any of these transactions in the future without the possible delays and significant expense of obtaining additional shareholder approval, except as may be required in particular cases by the Charter, applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange or other system on which the Company’s securities may then be listed.

The Board believes that additional authorized shares of capital stock will enable the Company to take timely advantage of market conditions and favorable financing and acquisition opportunities that become available to the Company. We anticipate that having additional flexibility will allow us to pursue our strategic objectives, in addition to allowing us to provide equity incentives to our employees in order to attract, retain and motivate key talent.

Rights of Additional Authorized Shares

Any newly authorized shares of Common Stock will be identical to the shares of Common Stock now authorized and outstanding. The amendment will not affect the rights of current holders of Common Stock, none of whom have preemptive or similar rights to acquire the newly authorized shares.

Effects of the Proposal

Adoption of the Authorized Shares Proposal will have no immediate dilutive effect on the proportionate voting power or other rights of the Company’s existing stockholders. The Board has no current plan, arrangement, commitment or understanding to issue shares from the additional authorized shares provided by the Authorized Shares Proposal. However, any future issuance of additional authorized shares of our Common Stock, at the future direction of the Board, generally without the requirement of stockholder approval (unless specifically required by applicable law or Nasdaq regulation) may, among other things, dilute the earnings per share of Common Stock and the equity and voting rights of those holding Common Stock at the time such additional shares are issued.

Potential Anti-Takeover Effects

The Authorized Shares Proposal could adversely affect the ability of third parties to effect a takeover or a change in control by, for example, permitting issuances that would dilute the ownership of a person seeking to effect a change in the composition of our Board or contemplating a tender offer or other transaction that the Board determines is not in our best interests or in the best interests of our stockholders. The Board’s ability to issue substantial amounts of Common Stock without the need for stockholder approval, except as may be required by law or regulation, upon such terms and conditions as our Board may determine from time to time in the exercise of its business judgment, may, among other things, be used to create voting impediments with respect to a change in control or to dilute the stock ownership of stockholders seeking to obtain control of the Company. The issuance of Common Stock, while providing desirable flexibility in connection with potential financings and other corporate transactions, may have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company. Our Board, however, does not intend or view the Authorized Shares Proposal as an anti-takeover measure, nor does it contemplate its use in this manner at any time in the foreseeable future.

Appraisal Rights

Pursuant to the DGCL, stockholders are not entitled to appraisal rights with respect to the Authorized Shares Proposal.

Required Vote

Approval of the Authorized Shares Proposal amendment to the Charter requires the affirmative “FOR” vote of at least a majority of the voting power shares of common stock casting votes in person (online during the virtual meeting) or by proxy at the Annual Meeting by the holders entitled to vote thereon. This means that the Authorized Shares Proposal will be approved if the votes cast “FOR” the proposal exceed the votes cast “AGAINST” the proposal. You may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST,” or “ABSTAIN” on this proposal. Abstentions are not counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the vote on this proposal. We do not expect there to be any broker non-votes with respect to this proposal, however, if there are any broker non-votes, they will not be counted as votes cast, and they will have no effect on the vote on this proposal.

PROPOSAL 4

GOVERNANCE PROPOSAL

After continued evaluation of our corporate governance practices and careful consideration of views held by the investment community, the Board and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee determined that it would be advisable and in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders to undertake the amendments described in this proposal. There are two sub-proposals comprising the Governance Proposal amendment to the Charter as described below.

The description of the Governance Proposal amendment to the Charter is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the proposed revisions, which are set forth Appendix A. Additions are indicated by underlining, and deletions are indicated by strike-throughs.

The Governance Proposal amendment to the Charter would become effective upon the filing of a Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which we would file promptly following the Annual Meeting if our stockholders approve the Governance Proposal.

Our stockholders were previously asked to approve the amendments described in this proposal at the Company’s 2023 annual meeting of stockholders. The proposed amendments did not receive a vote of the requisite 66 2/3% of the voting power of shares outstanding and entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the Company. In the furtherance of good governance, we are once again seeking the approval of our stockholders of the Governance Proposal amendment to the Charter.

Declassification of Board

Currently, the Charter provides that the Board is divided into three classes, with each class serving a staggered three-year term, and only one class being eligible for re-election each annual meeting. Specifically:

•	The directors designated as Class I directors have terms expiring at the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders;

•	The directors designated as Class II directors have terms expiring at the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders; and

•	The directors designated as Class III directors have terms expiring at the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders.

Our current Board members and their respective designations are as follow:

	Name			Current Position			Class			Term Expires
	Jodi Butts			Nominating & Governance Committee Member; Independent Director			Class III			2024 annual meeting of stockholders
	David Clanachan			Audit Committee Member; Independent Director			Class II			2026 annual meeting of stockholders
	John M. Herhalt			Chair of the Audit Committee; Independent Director			Class I			2025 annual meeting of stockholders
	David Hopkinson			Nominating and Governance Committee & Compensation Committee Member; Independent Director			Class III			2024 annual meeting of stockholders

Purpose of the Proposal

Our Board considered the classified board structure compared to an annual voting standard for the election of directors, analyzed current corporate governance trends, and evaluated the appropriateness of a classified Board in light of our overall corporate governance structure and ongoing stockholder engagement efforts. In connection with this review our Board considered the advantages of maintaining the classified board structure as well as the advantages of declassifying the Board. The advantages of the classified board structure include that a classified board structure may promote board continuity, encourage a long-term perspective by management and the Board, and provide protection against certain abusive takeover tactics. While our Board believes that these are important considerations, our Board also understands that many investors believe that annually elected boards increase accountability of directors to a company’s stockholders and encourage directors to focus on stockholder interests. Furthermore, the Board recognizes that stockholders of public companies are generally supportive of shifting from classified boards to the annual election of directors. In addition, our Board believes this amendment better aligns our governance with what is considered to be a best practice in corporate governance by the investor community.

Upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of our Board, the Board has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to amend the Charter to eliminate the classified structure of the Board and to provide for the annual election of all directors (collectively, the “Declassification”).

In addition, in order to conform with Delaware law regarding companies without classified boards, the Charter will be amended to provide that, effective after the Declassification, any director or the entire Board may be removed from office at any time, with or without cause, by the affirmative vote of holders of shares representing at least a majority of the voting power of all then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote generally at an election of directors. The Charter currently provides that removal of any director or the entire Board for cause requires the affirmative vote of shares representing at least 66 2/3% of the voting power of all then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote generally at an election of directors of the Company.

Impact of the Proposal - Annual Elections of Directors

As discussed above, our Charter currently provides for a “classified” board structure, which means that our Board is divided into three classes, with each class elected every three years. Under this classified board structure, directors are elected to terms that expire on the annual meeting date three years following the annual meeting at which they were elected, and the terms are “staggered” so that the terms of approximately one-third of the directors expire each year.

The Governance Proposal would become effective upon the filing of a Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which we would file promptly following the Annual Meeting if our stockholders approve the Governance Proposal. As a result, if this proposal is approved, each of the seven members of the current Board will stand for re-election at the 2025 annual meeting of our stockholders and until his or her successor shall be elected and qualified, or his or her earlier death, resignation, or removal from office.

Required Vote

Approval of the Governance Proposal requires the affirmative “FOR” vote from the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the voting power of shares outstanding and entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the Company. You may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST,” or “ABSTAIN” on this proposal. Abstentions have the same effect as a vote against the proposal.

OUR BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR”

THE APPROVAL OF GOVERNANCE PROPOSAL.

Householding of Proxy Materials

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for Proxy Materials with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single set of Proxy Materials addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially means extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies.

This year, a number of brokers with account holders who are Tilray stockholders will be “householding” the Company’s proxy materials. A single set of Proxy Materials Report will be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. Once you have received notice from your broker that they will be “householding” communications to your address, “householding” will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in “householding” and would prefer to receive a separate Proxy Materials, please notify your broker or Tilray. Direct your written request to Tilray Brands, Inc., Corporate Secretary, 265 Talbot Street West, Leamington, Ontario N8H 4H3, Canada. Stockholders who currently receive multiple copies of the Proxy Materials at their addresses and would like to request “householding” of their communications should contact their brokers.

A-4

---

1.

Generally. The management of the business and the conduct of the affairs of the Company shall be vested in its Board of Directors. The number of directors that shall constitute the Board of Directors shall be fixed exclusively by resolutions adopted by a majority of the authorized number of directors constituting the Board of Directors.

2.

Election.

(a)

Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect additional directors under specified circumstances, following the closing of the IPO, and for so long as permitted by applicable law, the directors shall be divided into three classes designated as Class I, Class II and Class III, respectively. The Board of Directors is authorized to assign members of the Board of Directors already in office to such classes at the time the classification becomes effective. At the first annual meeting of stockholders following the closing of the IPO, the term of office of the Class I directors shall expire and Class I directors shall be elected for a full term of three years. At the second annual meeting of stockholders following the IPO, the term of office of the Class II directors shall expire and Class II directors shall be elected for a full term of three years. At the third annual meeting of stockholders following the IPO, the term of office of the Class III directors shall expire and Class III directors shall be elected for a full term of three years. At each succeeding annual meeting of stockholders, directors shall be elected for a full term of three years to succeed the directors of the class whose terms expire at such annual meeting.

At any time that applicable law prohibits a classified board as described in Article VI, Section (A)(2)(a), all directors shall be elected at each annual meeting of stockholders to hold office until the next annual meeting. The directors of the Company need not be elected by written ballot unless the Bylaws so provide.

From and after the effective time of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the directors shall no longer be divided into three classes and, commencing with the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders, the directors shall be elected to one-year terms. With respect to any director who was previously elected to a term of more than one year and who continues to serve after the effective time of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, such director shall serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until his or her successor shall be elected and qualified, or his or her earlier death, resignation, or removal from office (provided that nothing herein shall in any way prevent or restrict such director from being re-elected at the next or subsequent annual meetings).

(b)

No stockholder entitled to vote at an election for directors may cumulate votes to which such stockholder is entitled unless required by applicable law at the time of such election. During such time or times that applicable law requires cumulative voting, every stockholder entitled to vote at an election for directors may cumulate such stockholder’s votes and give one candidate a number of votes equal to the number of directors to be elected multiplied by the number of votes to which such stockholder’s shares are otherwise entitled, or distribute the stockholder’s votes on the same principle among as many candidates as such stockholder thinks fit. No stockholder, however, shall be entitled to so cumulate such stockholder’s votes unless (i) the names of such candidate or candidates have been placed in nomination prior to the voting and (ii) the stockholder has given notice at the meeting, prior to the voting, of such stockholder’s intention to cumulate such stockholder’s votes. If any stockholder has given proper notice to cumulate votes, all stockholders may cumulate their votes for any candidates who have been properly placed in nomination. Under cumulative voting, the candidates receiving the highest number of votes, up to the number of directors to be elected, are elected.

(c)

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this section, each director shall serve until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified or until his earlier death, resignation or removal. No decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

3.	Removal of Directors. Subject to any limitations imposed by applicable law and subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, any individual director or directors may be

A-5

---

removed (a) with or without cause, by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote generally at an election of directors, or (b) with cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the voting power of all then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote generally at an election of directors.

4.

Vacancies. Subject to any limitations imposed by applicable law and subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, any vacancies on the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, removal or other causes and any newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors, shall, unless the Board of Directors determines by resolution that any such vacancies or newly created directorships shall be filled by the stockholders and except as otherwise provided by applicable law, be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, even though less than a quorum of the Board of Directors, and not by the stockholders. Any director elected in accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the director for which the vacancy was created or occurred and until such director’s successor shall have been elected and qualified or until his earlier death, resignation or removal.

B.

Stockholder Actions. No action shall be taken by the stockholders of the Company except at an annual or special meeting of stockholders called in accordance with the Bylaws, and action shall be taken by the stockholders by written consent or electronic transmission. Advance notice of stockholder nominations for the election of directors and of business to be brought by stockholders before any meeting of the stockholders of the Company shall be given in the manner provided in the Bylaws of the Company and subject to applicable law.

C.

Bylaws. The Board of Directors is expressly empowered to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws of the Company. Any adoption, amendment or repeal of the Bylaws of the Company by the Board of Directors shall require the approval of a majority of the authorized number of directors. The stockholders shall also have power to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws of the Company; provided, however, that, in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of stock of the Company required by law or by this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, such action by stockholders shall require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.

VII.

A.

The Company renounces any interest or expectancy of the Company or any of its Affiliated Companies in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any Dual Opportunity about which a Dual Role Person acquires knowledge. A Dual Role Person shall have no duty to communicate or offer to the Company or any of its Affiliated Companies any Dual Opportunity that such Dual Role Person has communicated or offered to the Investment Fund, shall not be prohibited from communicating or offering any Dual Opportunity to the Investment Fund, and shall not be liable to the Company or its stockholders for breach of any fiduciary duty as a stockholder, director or officer of the Company, as the case may be, resulting from (i) the failure to communicate or offer to the Company or any of its Affiliated Companies any Dual Opportunity that such Dual Role Person has communicated or offered to the Investment Fund or (ii) the communication or offer to the Investment Fund of any Dual Opportunity, so long as (x) the Dual Opportunity does not become known to the Dual Role Person expressly and solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company, and (y) the Dual Opportunity is not presented by the Dual Role Person to any party other than the Investment Fund and the Dual Role Person does not pursue the Dual Opportunity individually.

B.

In addition to and notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article VII, the Company renounces any interest or expectancy of the Company or any of its Affiliated Companies in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any business opportunity that the Company is not financially able or

“Person” means an individual, a partnership, a corporation, a limited liability company, an association, a joint stock company, a trust, a joint venture, an unincorporated organization and a governmental entity or any department, agency or political subdivision thereof.

Pay vs Performance Disclosure
Pay vs Performance Disclosure, Table			PAY VERSUS PERFORMANCE As required by Section 953(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship between “compensation actually paid” to our PEO and to our other non-PEOs and certain financial performance of the Company. Compensation actually paid, as determined under SEC requirements, does not reflect the actual amount of compensation earned by or paid to our executive officers during a covered year. For further information concerning the Company’s pay-for-performance philosophy and how the Company aligns executive compensation with the Company’s performance, refer to the Compensation Discussion and Analysis. Fair value amounts below are computed in a manner consistent with the fair value methodology used to account for share-based payments in our financial statements under generally accepted accounting principles. For time-based RSU awards, fair value is calculated using the closing price on applicable year-end dates or, in the case of vesting dates, the actual vesting price. For PSU awards, the same valuation methodology as RSU awards is used to calculate fair value except year-end and vesting date values are multiplied by the probability of achievement as of each such date. The estimated probability of achievement was 100% for the Synergy PSUs and HEXO PSUs The awards described in the Compensation Discussion & Analysis section under “2024 EBITDA PSU Awards” granted during Fiscal Year 2024 did not have a fair value for purposes of ASC 718 on the grant date or as the last day of Fiscal Year 2024 due to the three-year cumulative performance targets not having been set during Fiscal Year 2024. Therefore, there is no corresponding amount for the 2024 EBITDA PSU Awards included in the Pay Versus Performance Table or the tables in the footnotes to the Pay Versus Performance table below. See footnote 2 to the Summary Compensation Table for a discussion of the value of the 2024 EBITDA PSU Awards based on the value of a share of Company common stock as of the date of grant. Total shareholder return has been calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K.                                                   Current PEO2     Prior PEO2     Average of Non-PEO NEOs3     Value of $100 Initial Investment Based On:     Net Income (Loss)10 ($000)     Adjusted EBITDA11 ($000)     Fiscal Year1     SCT Total Compensation4     Compensation Actually Paid5 13     SCT Total Compensation4     Compensation Actually Paid6     SCT Total Compensation4     Compensation Actually Paid7 13     Cumulative TSR8     Peer Group TSR9                 2024     $10,142,971     $11,153,152     $0     $0     $2,061,804     $2,224,106     $21.79     $35.58     ($222,404)     $60,465     2023     $15,656,584     $6,053,926     $0     $0     $2,371,929     $994,995     $10.68     $25.91     ($1,443,000)     $61,479     2022     $19,456,767     $5,599,894     $0     $0     $2,755,870     $957,950     $26.56     $47.89     ($434,132)     $48,047     2021     $13,683,998     $16,536,484     $6,458,729     $7,535,144     $2,208,882     $3,475,621     $97.31     $120.91     ($336,014)     $40,771     2020     $0     $0     $1,907,812     ($7,205,882)     $1,394,132     $431,435     $48.22     $90.06     ($100,833)     $5,84512                                                                     (1) In accordance with the transitional relief under the SEC rules, only three fiscal years ending May 31st of information is required as this is the Company’s first fiscal year of disclosure under Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, with an additional year added in each of the two subsequent years of compliance. Fiscal year 2021 was a five-month transition period (January 1, 2021 to May 31, 2021) due to the change in the Company’s fiscal year-end. For 2020, the reportable year was January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020. (2) In fiscal year 2021, the PEOs included Irwin Simon (Current PEO) and Brendan Kennedy (Prior PEO).

before the beginning of the earliest period reported in the table (December 30, 2020) through the end of each applicable year, assuming reinvestment of dividends. (9) Horizons Marijuana Life Sciences Index is the peer group index selected by the Company for this purpose and for purposes of the Stock Performance Graph in our Annual Report. (10) The dollar amounts reported represents the amount of net income (loss) reflected in the Company's audited financial statements for the applicable year or period. (11) The Company has identified Adjusted EBITDA as the Company-selected measure for this pay versus performance disclosure, as it represents the most significant financial performance measure used to link compensation actually paid to the PEOs and Non-PEO NEOs to the Company's performance in fiscal year 2024. The Adjusted EBITDA for all years except the year ended May 31, 2024 and the year ended May 31, 2020 includes an adjustment for lease expenses. Please see “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to GAAP Measures” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2024 for a reconciliation of such non-GAAP Measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures (12) Represents Aphria Inc.’s Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended May 31, 2020, presented in USD and according to US GAAP. (13) The “2024 EBITDA PSU Awards” as described in the Compensation Discussion & Analysis section are not included because there was no change in fair value as of the end of Fiscal Year 2024 based upon the probable outcome of the performance conditions as of the last day of Fiscal Year 2024. There was no grant date fair value for purposes of ASC 718 due to the three-year cumulative performance targets not having been set during Fiscal Year 2024.

Tabular List, Table			Financial Performance Measures As described in greater detail above in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” our executive compensation program reflects a variable pay-for-performance philosophy. The metrics that we use for both our long-term and short-term incentive awards are selected based on an objective of incentivizing our named executive officers to increase the value of our enterprise for our stockholders. The most important financial performance measures used by us to link executive compensation actually paid to our named executive officers, for the most recently completed fiscal year, to our performance are as follows:         Adjusted EBITDA     Consolidated Net Revenue

Non-GAAP Measure Description			(11) The Company has identified Adjusted EBITDA as the Company-selected measure for this pay versus performance disclosure, as it represents the most significant financial performance measure used to link compensation actually paid to the PEOs and Non-PEO NEOs to the Company's performance in fiscal year 2024. The Adjusted EBITDA for all years except the year ended May 31, 2024 and the year ended May 31, 2020 includes an adjustment for lease expenses.
