Tilray intends to grant the underwriters a 30-day over-allotment option to purchase up to 1,350,000 additional shares.

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

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