Aphria had previously announced in connection with the Arrangement Agreement that it had secured irrevocable hard lock ups (the “Lock-Ups“) from Nuuvera shareholders (the “Lock Up Shareholders“) representing more than a majority of both the currently outstanding Nuuvera Shares and the “minority” Nuuvera shareholders to vote in favour of the Arrangement Agreement. In connection with the Amendment, Aphria has sought and received consent from Lock-Up Shareholders that, together with Nuuvera Shares already owned by Aphria, represent approximately 65% of the currently outstanding Nuuvera Shares and over 57% of the requisite minority shareholders of Nuuvera, to the reduction of consideration under the Arrangement Agreement.

In connection with the Amendment, the board of directors of Aphria received an opinion from its financial advisor, Cormark Securities, that, as of February 19, 2018 , and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications on which such opinion is based, the consideration to be offered by Aphria in respect of the Arrangement, as amended by the Amendment, is fair, from a financial point of view, to Aphria.

The completion of the transaction contemplated under the Arrangement Agreement and the Amendment is not expected to be delayed and the transaction is expected to close in April, 2018.
