Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

For the three and six months ended January 31, 2022 and 2021 (Unaudited, expressed in thousands of Canadian Dollar s, except share amounts or where otherwise stated)

1. Description of the Business

HEXO Corp. (“HEXO” or the “Company”), is a publicly traded corporation, incorporated in Ontario, Canada. HEXO is licensed to produce and sell cannabis and cannabis products under the Cannabis Act. The head office is located at 120 Chemin de la Rive, Gatineau, Canada. The Company’s common shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) and the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations (“Nasdaq”), both under the trading symbol “HEXO”. The Company was listed on the New York Stock Exchange up to August 24, 2021, at which time the Company transferred its US listing to the Nasdaq.

2. Going Concern

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to continue its operations and will be able to realize its assets and settle its liabilities in the normal course of business as they come due in the foreseeable future.

During the six months ended January 31, 2022, the Company reported a gross loss of $34,535, an operating loss of $824,966, cash outflows from operating activities of $91,747 and an accumulated deficit of $1,569,693. As at January 31, 2022, the Company was in breach of the requirement to achieve positive adjusted earnings before taxes, interests, taxes and depreciation (“Adjusted EBITDA”) for the three month period ended January 31, 2022 on the Senior Secured Convertible Note (the “Note”). This is deemed an event of default under the terms of the Note. Under the default terms, the Holder obtains the option to accelerate repayment of the Note at a value which is 115% of the principal amount outstanding. As a result, the fair value of the Note has been measured at its demand amount at January 31, 2022, calculated by reference to the accelerated default terms of the Note (Note 18).

On March 13, 2022, the Holder of the Note agreed to an irrevocable waiver of their rights in relation to the event of default (Note 18) until the earlier of May 17, 2022 or termination of the Proposed Transaction.

In recognition of these circumstances, on March 3, 2022, the Company’s board of directors approved a proposed strategic partnership agreement with Tilray Brands in which they will acquire 100% of the remaining US$211 million outstanding principal balance of the Note that was originally issued by HEXO (the “Proposed Transaction”) to HT Investments MA LLC (“HTI”) and restructure certain provisions of the Note. Among other provisions, the Optional Redemption Payments would be removed, the term extended to three years, and US$80 million in restricted cash released (Note 37).

Concurrent with the debt restructuring, the Company received a non-binding Letter of Intent for a $180 million equity backstop agreement which would provide the Company access to capital over a 36-month period in order to help ensure debt and interest repayments under the revised terms of the Note can be met (the “Standby Agreement”) (Note 37).

The Proposed Transaction and the Standby agreement are subject to a number of conditions. Despite the Company’s confidence in its ability to close the Transaction, there can be no assurance of its success in doing so.

As at January 31, 2022, the Company’s existing funds on hand would not be sufficient to fund all aspects of operations and/or the current cash obligations related to the Note. The Company is dependent on successfully closing the Proposed Transaction described above or finding alternative sources of financing. There can be no assurances that alternative financings will be available on terms that are acceptable to the Company.

These circumstances create material uncertainties that lend substantial doubt as to the ability of the Company, as at January 31, 2022, to meet its obligations as they come due and, accordingly, the appropriateness of the use of accounting principles applicable to a going concern. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully close the Transaction or secure additional financing. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and balance sheet classifications that would be necessary If the Company were unable to realize its assets and settle its liabilities as a going concern in the normal course of operations. Such adjustments could be material.

3. Basis of Preparation

Statement of Compliance

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements (“interim consolidated financial statements”) have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”), using accounting policies consistent with IFRS as issued by the IASB and IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). These interim consolidated financial statements do not contain all the disclosures required in annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended July 31, 2021, prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.

The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using accounting policies consistent with those described in the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended July 31, 2021.

These interim consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on March 17, 2022.

4. New Accounting Policies and Pronouncements

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective

The following IFRS amendments have been recently issued by the IASB. Pronouncements that are irrelevant or not expected to have a significant impact have been excluded.

Amendments to IAS 1: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current

The amendment clarifies the requirements relating to determining if a liability should be presented as current or non-current in the statement of financial position. Under the new requirement, the assessment of whether a liability is presented as current or noncurrent is based on the contractual arrangements in place as at the reporting date and does not impact the amount or timing of recognition. The amendment will apply retrospectively for the annual reporting period beginning August 1, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this amendment on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to IAS 12: Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction

The amendment narrowed the scope of certain recognition exemptions so that it no longer applies to transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences. An entity applies the amendments to transactions that occur on or after the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. It also, at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented, recognizes deferred tax for all temporary differences related to leases and decommissioning obligations and recognizes the cumulative effect of initially applying the amendments as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other component of equity, as appropriate) at that date. The amendment will be effective for the annual period beginning August 1, 2023, and the Company has chosen not to early adopt the amendment. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this amendment on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to IAS 37: Onerous Contracts and the Cost of Fulfilling a Contract

The amendment specifies that the ‘cost of fulfilling’ a contract comprises the ‘costs that relate directly to the contract’. Costs that relate directly to a contract can either be incremental costs of fulfilling that contract or an allocation of other costs that relate directly to fulfilling contracts. The amendment applies retrospectively for annual reporting periods beginning August 1, 2022 and the Company has chosen not to early adopt. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this amendment on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to IAS 16: Property Plant and Equipment: Proceeds before intended use

The amendment clarifies the accounting for the net proceeds from selling any items produced while bringing an item of property plant and equipment into use. The amendment prohibits a company from deducting from the cost of property plant and equipment proceeds from selling items produced while the company is preparing that assets for its intended use. The company will recognize such sales proceeds and related costs in profit and loss. The amendment applies retrospectively for annual reporting period beginning August 1, 2022, and the Company has chosen not to early adopt. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this amendment on the Company’s financial statements.

The Company recognizes the costs (capitalized cost and biological asset fair value adjustment) of harvested cannabis inventory expensed in two separate lines on the consolidated statement of net loss: (i) Capitalized costs relating to inventory expensed and included in Cost of goods sold amounted to $41,064 and $86,257 for the three and six months ended January 31, 2022, respectively (January 31, 2021 – $21,192 and $40,280) (ii) The fair value component (biological asset fair value adjustments) of inventory sold on the consolidated statement of net loss was $15,945 and $29,526 for the three and six months ended January 31, 2022 respectively (January 31, 2021 – $6,387 and $11,193) and included a write down of inventory to its net realizable value of $1,547 and $9,136, respectively (January 31, 2021 – $nil and $nil, respectively). During the three and six months ended January 31, 2022, the Company recorded write-offs on inventory of $4,941 and $5,556, respectively (January 31, 2021 – $374 and $374, respectively) and wrote down inventory by $13,937 and $50,134 (January 31, 2021 – reversal of write offs of $nil and $1,543) to its net realizable value. A significant portion of the write down relates to the impairment of the Keystone Isolation Technology extraction capital project which was to utilize inventory in the commissioning phase (Note 11).

Total depreciation capitalized in inventory in the six months ended January 31, 2022 was $12,003 (January 31, 2021 – $7,300).

9. Biological Assets

The Company’s biological assets consist of cannabis plants throughout the growth cycle, from mother plants to plants in propagation, vegetative and flowering stages. The changes in the carrying value of biological assets are as follows:

The valuation of biological assets is based on an income approach (Level 3) in which the fair value at the point of harvesting is estimated based on selling prices less the costs to sell. For in-process biological assets (growing plants), the fair value at the point of harvest is adjusted based on the stage of growth at period-end. Harvested cannabis is transferred from biological assets at their fair value at harvest. During the six months ended January 31, 2022, the Company disposed of $3,086 (January 31, 2021 – $nil) of biological assets due to the closure of a cultivation facility as well as damaged plants due to a heating issue.

The inputs and assumptions used in determining the fair value of cannabis plants are as follows:

  • yield per plant;

  • stage of growth percentage, estimated as age of plant from date of harvest as a percentage of total days in an average growing cycle, as applied to the estimated total fair value per gram (less fulfillment costs) to arrive at an in-process fair value for estimated biological assets to be harvested;

  • selling price per gram;

  • post-harvest cost (cost to complete and cost to sell) per gram; and

  • • destruction/wastage of plants during the harvesting and processing process.

The table below summarizes the significant inputs and assumptions used in the fair value model, their weighted average range of value and sensitivity analysis:

As at January 31, 2022, capital contributions of $8,035 (July 31, 2021 – $nil) to Truss LP and Truss USA were recorded in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

Truss LP

The Truss LP was formed between the Company and Molson Coors Canada (the “Partner”) and is a standalone entity, incorporated in Canada, with its own board of directors and an independent management team. The Partner holds 57,500 common shares representing 57.5% controlling interest in Truss LP with the Company holding 42,500 common shares and representing the remaining 42.5%. Truss LP is a private limited partnership and its principal operating activities consist of pursuing opportunities to develop non-alcoholic, cannabis-infused beverages.

On October 31, 2021 the Company noted indicators of impairment related to the Truss LP investment, notably, a reduced financial outlook and an additional requirement for capital to sustain operations. The Company tested the investment for impairment and recorded an impairment loss as outlined below. The recoverable amount was based on the estimated fair value less costs of disposal. The fair value less costs of disposal was estimated utilizing an income based discounted cash flows (“DCF”) analysis.

The significant assumptions in the DCF analysis were as follows:

i. Cash flows: Estimated cash flows were projected based on actual operating results from internal sources as well as industry and market trends. A five-year period was forecasted with an extended five-year period calculated using a discount model that assumes the growth rate of will decrease linearly to the terminal value growth rate of 3%;

ii. Terminal value growth rate: Management used a 3% terminal growth rate which is based on historical and projected consumer inflation, historical and projected economic indicators, and projected industry growth. If all other assumptions were held constant and the terminal growth rate was decreased by 1%, the impairment loss would increase by $3,098; and

iii. Discount rate: Management used a 15% post-tax discount rate which is reflective of an industry Weighted Average Cost of Capital (“WACC”). The WACC was estimated based on the risk-free rate, equity risk premium based on a direct comparison approach, a size premium and company specific risk, and after-tax cost of debt based on corporate bond yields. If all other assumptions were held constant and the discount rate increased by 1%, the impairment loss would increase by $8,394.

As a result of the test, the carrying value of the investment was higher than the recoverable amount, and an impairment loss of $26,925 (January 31, 2021 – $nil) was recorded.

Belleville Complex Inc.

On January 18, 2022, the Company disposed of its 25% interest in the joint venture Belleville Complex Inc (Note 28) which carried a value of $984. The interest was sold to the other shareholder, the related party Olegna Holdings Inc. (“Olegna”), a company owned and controlled by a director of the Company for gross proceeds of $10,111 and gain on disposal of $9,127. The proceeds were fully used towards the settlement of a monthly optional redemption on the Senior Secured Convertible Note (Note 18).

During the six months ended January 31, 2022, the Company capitalized $12,003 (July 31, 2021 – $15,677) of depreciation to inventory. During the three and six months ended January 31, 2022, depreciation expensed to the consolidated statement of net loss and comprehensive loss was $1,140 and $3,196 (January 31, 2021 – $1,679 and $2,757).

On October 31, 2021, the Company identified impairment to its Keystone Isolation Technology (KIT) capital project which was suspended. The KIT capital project related to the development and commissioning of new cannabis extraction and isolation equipment. During the three and six months ended January 31, 2022, the Company recognized impairments on the associated equipment for an impairment loss of $2,117 and $13,377.

On January 31, 2022, indicators of impairment were identified as a result of significant revisions to management’s own forecasts of future net cash inflows and earnings from previous budgets and forecasts. As a result, certain cultivation facilities, as well as related equipment and capital projects were considered redundant and tested for impairment at the asset level resulting in an impairment loss of $98,022 being recorded.

Recoverable amount was determined by reference to fair value less costs of disposal using a market approach. The market approach was based on comparable transactions for similar assets, which is categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Additional impairment losses were recorded for the related cultivation and processing licenses (Note 13).

Capitalized borrowing costs to buildings in the six months ended January 31, 2022, was $nil (January 31, 2021 – $896 at an average interest rate of 6.4%). Transfers from construction in progress during the year reflect the activation of an asset’s useful life, transitioning from construction in progress to the appropriate property, plant and equipment classification.

Prior to the acquisition of 48North Cannabis Corp, previous management had placed the Good Farm facility on the market for sale. This facility continues to be classified as held for sale as at January 31, 2022.

During the period, management completed a strategic review of its total, post acquisition cultivation capacity and made the decision to exit the Good House (acquired from 48North), Brantford R&D and the Kirkland Lake (acquired from 48North) facilities and dispose of certain associated equipment. As such, these assets have been classified as held for sale on the statement of financial position as of January 31, 2022. Management assessed the related assets for impairment on classification as assets held for sale and determined that no impairment losses were required to be recorded as the carrying amounts are expected to be recovered through sale.

Research and development expenses in the three and six months ended January 31, 2022 were $1,478 and $2,445, respectively (January 31, 2021 - $1,136 and $2,172).

During the six months ended January 31, 2022, the Company adjusted the estimated useful life of its previously indefinite life brand to a three-year period based on new available information such as market comparatives and market sales data.

IMPAIRMENT

At January 31, 2022, indicators of impairment were identified as a result of adverse changes in the Canadian Cannabis market experienced through Q2 2022, which are reflected in significant revisions to management’s own forecasts of future net cash inflows and earnings from previous budgets and forecasts. As a result, the Company recorded aggregate impairment losses of $140,839 on intangible assets within the Canadian Cannabis CGU at January 31, 2022. The following details the impairment of the applicable assets to their individual recoverable amounts:

13

  • The Company has valued the cultivation and processing licenses associated with the acquired facilities of Redecan (Note 14), using a fair value less costs of disposal model which estimates the value of the license as the difference between the present value of the future cash flows of the facility with-or-without a license in place, as at January 31, 2022 using management’s revised estimates of expected future cash flows and gross margins.

  • Recoverable amount was $26,556, requiring an impairment loss of $45,000. If all other assumptions were held constant, and the forecasted gross margin rate was decreased by 10%, the recoverable amount of the cultivation and processing license would decrease by $6,771. In the with-or-without approach, reducing the estimated time to obtain a license and complete cultivation and production ramp up by six months would reduce the recoverable amount of the license by $8,066. In connection with the impairment loss recorded for a redundant cultivation facility (Note 11), the Company recorded an impairment loss of $27,950 relating to cultivation and processing licenses associated with the cultivation facility.

  • The Company revalued the brand asset acquired in the Redecan transaction (Note 14) as at January 31, 2022, using management’s revised estimates of expected future revenues. Recoverable amount was determined to be $47,000, requiring an impairment loss of $43,754. Recoverable amount was determined with reference to fair value less cost of disposal, which utilized a relief from royalty approach model (Level 3). If all other assumptions were held constant, and the forecasted royalty rate was decreased by 10%, the recoverable amount of the brand would decrease by $5,061. The Company also impaired certain other acquired brands to their recoverable amounts, resulting in an impairment loss of $12,696.

  • The Company has valued the production Know-How asset, acquired from the Redecan transaction (Note 14) as at January 31, 2022, using management’s revised estimates of expected future cash flows and related gross margins (Note 15). The recoverable amount was determined to be $14,000, requiring an impairment loss of $11,438. Recoverable amount was determined with reference to fair value less costs of disposal using a with-or-without approach based on an income based DCF valuation model (Level 3). The model estimates the value of the asset as the difference between the present value of the future cash flows of preroll revenues, with-or-without the unique Know-how as at the acquisition date. The significant estimate in the model is the initial incremental margin, which depletes over time, representing an advantageous increase to gross margin due to the process. In the with-or-without approach, increasing the estimated incremental margin by 5% would not impact the assets valuation materially.

14. Business Acquisitions

Goodwill arising from the acquisitions represented the expected synergies, future income and growth, and other intangibles that do not qualify for separate recognition at the date of acquisition. None of the goodwill arising from the acquisitions is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Acquisition of 48North Cannabis Corp.

On September 1, 2021, pre-market open, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares of 48North Cannabis Corp. (“48North”). 48North was a Canadian-licensed cultivator and seller of medical and adult-use cannabis. 48North was acquired for select intellectual properties and its established market share. Under the arrangement, each former 48North common share was exchanged for 0.02366 (the “exchange ratio”) of a HEXO common share. In addition, all issued and outstanding stock options and compensation units of 48North were replaced with HEXO backed units, having the same terms but adjusted for the exchange ratio, and all issued and outstanding common share purchase warrants of 48North became exercisable for HEXO common shares adjusted for the exchange ratio.

The following table summarizes the purchase consideration and preliminary values of the net assets acquired from 48North on the acquisition date. The fair values of intangible assets are preliminary and subject to change within the one-year measurement period.

  • (iv) Prior to the transaction’s closing date, the Company issued a $5,000 subordinated secured bridge loan with a 6-month term to 48North. For purposes of the acquisition accounting the loan, which had a fair value of $5,000, was effectively settled at the acquisition date and included in purchase consideration.

The fair value of the vested share-based compensation as at the acquisition date was deemed consideration paid in the transaction. The fair value of those options not yet vested at the acquisition date was added to the Company’s share-based payment reserve to be expensed over the remaining vesting period of the options as permitted under IFRS 3 – Business Combinations .

During the three and six months ended January 31, 2022, 48North contributed net revenue of $815 and $1,947, respectively and a comprehensive net loss attributed to shareholders of $8,046 and $11,573, respectively, to the Company’s consolidated results since the date of acquisition. If the acquisition had occurred on August 1, 2021 management estimates that the Company’s consolidated net revenue and the comprehensive net loss would not have been materially impacted.

  • (i) Cash consideration of $402,173 was paid upon the closing of the acquisition on August 30, 2021. Under the share purchase agreement, the $400,000 cash consideration includes a variable component based upon a $4,500 working capital estimate. Upon closing of the transaction, the working capital of Redecan was estimated at a surplus of $2,173 above the $4,500 amount. As at October 31, 2021, $5,000 of the cash consideration remains held in escrow with a third party agent. Per the share purchase agreement, the Company had a period of 60 days after closing the transaction to settle the working capital balance as at August 30, 2021. As at January 31, 2022 and the date of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, finalization of the working capital component of the purchase has not yet occurred.

  • (ii) As the acquisition closed intraday on August 30, 2021, the share price is based upon the closing HEXO Corp. TSX market price of common shares on August 30, 2021.

The identified cultivation and processing license (“the license”) enables the Company to cultivate and produce cannabis products for sale and was valued at $73,079 using a with-or-without approach in an income based discounted cash flow (“DCF”) valuation model (Level 3). The model estimates the value of the license as the difference between the present value of the future cash flows of the facility with-or-without a license in place, as at the acquisition date. Significant estimates in the model include the forecast gross margin and the estimated time to obtain a license and complete cultivation and production ramp up. If all other assumptions were held constant, and the forecasted gross margin rate was decreased by 10%, the valuation of the cultivation and processing license would decrease by $18,300. In the with-or-without approach, reducing the estimated time to obtain a license and complete cultivation and production ramp up by six months would reduce the valuation of the license by $21,800.

The identified Brand asset which allows the Company immediate access to accretive market share and product offerings has been valued at $94,700 using a relief from royalty approach model (Level 3). If all other assumptions were held constant, and the forecasted royalty rate was decreased by 10%, the valuation of the brand would decrease by $9,500.

16

The identified Know-How intangible asset, related to the unique pre-roll process, provides the Company immediate access to scaled, efficient pre-roll technology and production capability and has been valued at $27,337. The asset was valued using a withor-without approach in an income based DCF valuation model (Level 3). The model estimates the value of the asset as the difference between the present value of the future cash flows of pre-roll revenues, with-or-without the unique Know-how as at the acquisition date. The significant estimate in the model is the initial incremental margin, which depletes over time, representing an advantageous increase to gross margin due to the process. In the with-or-without approach, increasing the estimated incremental margin by 5% would increase the valuation of the asset by $12,426.

During the three and six months ended January 31, 2022, Redecan contributed net revenue of $14,502 and $28,076, respectively and comprehensive net income attributed to shareholders of $9,189 and $12,639, respectively to the Company’s consolidated results since the date of acquisition. If the acquisition had occurred on August 1, 2021 management estimates that the Company’s consolidated net revenue would have increased by an estimated $6,787 and the comprehensive net loss would have increased by $5,425 for the six months ended January 31, 2022.

The Company recognized transaction costs (primarily broker fees) of $22,636 related to the acquisition in Acquisitions and transaction costs in the statement of comprehensive income.

Upon shareholder approval of the Redecan acquisition transaction the Company issued 256,776 common shares as broker compensation.

Goodwill was recorded on the acquisition of Zenabis Brands Inc. on June 1, 2021, Redecan on August 30, 2021 (Note 14) and 48North on September 1, 2021 (Note 14) and is monitored at the company-wide level aggregated CGU level (“HEXO Corporate CGU”). As at January 31, 2022, the carrying amount of the Company’s total net assets significantly exceeded the Company’s market capitalization. In addition, the Canadian Cannabis market experienced adverse changes, which were reflected in significant revisions to management’s own forecasts of future net cash inflows and earnings from previous budgets and forecasts. As a result of these factors, management performed an indicator-based impairment test of goodwill as at January 31, 2022.

The significant assumptions in the DCF analysis were as follows:

  • i. Cash flows: Estimated cash flows were projected based on forecasted operating results from internal sources as well as industry and market trends. A discrete five-year period was forecasted with terminal value forecasted using the Gordon Growth Method. The growth rate will fall linearly to the terminal value, declining each year over the 5 years to a terminal exit enterprise value of x8.9. If all other assumption were held constant and the short-term growth rate in the first year was decreased by 5%, the recoverable amount would decrease by $26,931;

  • ii. Terminal value growth rate: Management used a 2% terminal growth rate which is based on historical and projected consumer inflation, historical and projected economic indicators, and projected industry growth. If all other assumptions were held constant and the terminal growth rate was decreased by 1%, the recoverable amount would decrease by $31,806;

  • iii. Post-tax discount rate: Management used a 14.3% post-tax discount rate which is reflective of an industry Weighted Average Cost of Capital (“WACC”). The WACC was estimated based on the risk-free rate, equity risk premium based on the Duff & Phelps method, and after-tax cost of debt based on select peer debt. If all other assumption were held constant and the discount rate was in increased by 1%, the recoverable amount would decrease by $28,383; and

  • iv. Tax rate: The tax rates used in determining the future cash flows were those substantively enacted at the respective valuation date.

The calculation of the adjusted current market capitalization was based on the share price of the Company on January 31, 2022, adjusted for a control premium of 20%, which was estimated by reference to premiums in recent acquisitions involving control, and from data on empirical control premium studies that considered industry, pricing, background, deal size, and timing of the observed premiums. If all other assumptions were held constant, and the share price declined by 5%, the impairment loss would increase by $18,000. If all other assumptions were held constant and the control premium was decreased by 5%, the recoverable amount would decrease by $15,000.

As a result, management concluded that the carrying value of the HEXO Corporate CGU was higher than the recoverable amount, and recorded a goodwill impairment loss of $375,039, as at January 31, 2022 (January 31, 2021 – $nil) resulting in the HEXO Corporate CGU’s carrying value falling within the recoverable amount acceptable range.

On December 5, 2019, the Company closed a $70,000 private placement of convertible debentures. The Company issued a total of $70,000 principal amount of 8.0% unsecured convertible debentures maturing on December 5, 2022 (the “Debentures”). The Debentures are convertible at the option of the holder at any time after December 7, 2020 and prior to maturity at a conversion price of $12.64 per share (the “Conversion Price”), subject to adjustment in certain events. The Company may force the conversion of all of the then outstanding Debentures at the Conversion Price at any time after December 7, 2020 and prior to maturity on 30 days’ notice if the daily volume weighted average trading price of the common shares of the Company is greater than $30.00 for any 15 consecutive trading days.

Upon maturity, the holders of the Debentures have the right to require the Company to repay any principal amount of their Debentures through the issuance of common shares of the Company in satisfaction of such amounts at a price equal to the volume weighted average trading price of the common shares on the TSX for the five trading days immediately preceding the payment date.

In May 2020, the Company provided notice to all holders of the Debentures of an option to voluntarily convert their Debentures into units of the Company (the “Conversion Units”) at a discounted early conversion price of $3.20 (the “Early Conversion Price”) calculated based on the 5-day volume weighted average HEXO Corp. share price (the “VWAP”) preceding the announcement. The VWAP utilized data from both the TSX and NYSE. Each Conversion Unit provided the holder one common share and one half common share purchase warrant (with an exercise price of $4.00 and term of three years). The early conversion occurred in two phases, the first being on June 10, 2020 followed by the second and final phase June 30, 2020. During phases one and two, $23,595 principal amount and $6,265 principal amount of the Debentures were converted under the Early Conversion Price and into common shares and 3,686,721 and 978,907 common share purchase warrants of HEXO Corp., respectively.

On January 31, 2022 there remains $40,140 in principal debentures (July 31, 2021 - $40,140) outstanding. The accrued and unpaid interest as at January 31, 2022 was $282 (July 31, 2021 - $483).

On May 27, 2021 (the “Issuance date”), the Company issued a Senior Secured Convertible Note (the "Note") directly to an institutional purchaser, HT Investments MA LLC (“HTI”), and certain of its affiliates or related funds (collectively, the “Holder”) at a principal amount of $434,628 (US$360,000). The Note was sold at a purchase price of $395,511 (US $327,600), or approximately 91% of the principal amount (“transaction price”). The Note bears no periodic cash interest payments and is repayable on May 1, 2023 (the “maturity date”) at 110% of the principal amount (the “Redemption Amount”), if not converted or redeemed earlier. The Redemption Amount on Issuance date was $478,091 (US$396,000). The Company used a portion of the net proceeds of the Note to fund the acquisition of Redecan (Note 14). The Note is secured against the assets of HEXO Operations Inc. and its subsidiaries, as well as the assets of HEXO USA Inc and its subsidiaries.

The Note can be converted in full or in part by the Holder into freely tradeable common shares of the Company at any time before the second last trading day before the maturity date at a conversion rate of 142.6533 common shares per US$1.00 (“conversion rate”). The Note includes different conversion and redemption options available to the Holder and the Company, subject to certain terms and limitations.

Event of Default

As at January 31, 2022, the Company failed to meet a financial covenant under the Note which required the Company to achieve positive adjusted earnings before taxes, interest, taxes and depreciation (“Adjusted EBITDA”) for the three month period ended January 31, 2022. This is an event of default under the terms of the Note. Subsequent to period end, on March 13, 2022, the Holder of the Note agreed to an irrevocable waiver of their rights in relation to the event of default (Note 18) until the earlier of May 17, 2022 or termination of the Proposed Transaction (Note 37).

In an event of a default, the Holder obtains the option to declare the Note (or any portion thereof) to become due and payable immediately for cash in an amount equal to the Event of Default Acceleration Amount, as defined in the Note. The Event of Default Acceleration Amount is a cash amount equal to the greater of:

  • (A) 115% of the outstanding principal amount of the Note, including any accrued and unpaid interest; and

  • (B) 115% of the product of (i) the original conversion rate of 142.6533, (ii) the outstanding principal amount, including any accrued and unpaid interest, and (iii) the greater of:

  • the highest Daily VWAP per Common Share occurring during the thirty (30) consecutive VWAP Trading Days ending on, and including, the VWAP Trading Day immediately before the date the acceleration notice is delivered; and

  • the highest Daily VWAP per Common Share occurring during the thirty (30) consecutive VWAP Trading Days ending on, and including, the VWAP Trading Day immediately before the date the applicable Event of Default occurred.

As at January 31, 2022, the greater amount was calculated under (A) which represents a cash amount of $329,492 (US $259,054).

In addition, notwithstanding the event of a default, the Holder continues to hold the option to convert the Note, in full or in part, into freely tradeable common shares of the Company, at any time before the second last trading day before the maturity date. The Holder also continues to be entitled to exercise the Optional Redemption Options. However, during the period under which the Note is in default, the conversion rate applied to such conversions will be increased by a number of shares equal to the Event of Default Additional Shares, as defined in the Note. This conversion right continues to be subject to limitations on conversions, including the 9.99% beneficial ownership limitation, as set out in the Note.

20

As a result of the event of default, the Company is no longer able to exercise its option to force conversion of the Note and is unable to satisfy the terms of the Equity Condition, as set out in the Note, which means the Company does not retain the ability to settle monthly redemption payments in equity. Unless a waiver is granted by the Holder, any monthly redemption options exercised by the Holder will be required to be settled in cash.

Fair Value Measurement

The Note represents a hybrid instrument with multiple embedded derivatives requiring separation. The Note, as a whole, has been designated as FVTPL, as at least one of the derivatives does significantly modify the cash flows of the Note and it is clear with limited analysis that separation is not prohibited. The changes in fair value of the instrument are recorded in the Statement of loss with changes in credit spread being recognized through Other comprehensive income.

As at January 31, 2022, as a result of the event of default, the fair value of the Note with a demand feature cannot be less than the amount payable on demand, discounted from the first date that the amount could be required to be repaid. The demand amount was calculated by reference to the Event of Default Acceleration amount, as defined in the agreement. Fair value was determined through the use of a model using a valuation technique that includes unobservable inputs.

As the demand amount represented the higher amount, the Note was measured at its demand amount of $329,492 (US $259,054), representing 115% of the outstanding principal at January 31, 2022. There was no accrued or unpaid interest as at January 31, 2022.

The fair value of the Note is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy and was determined using the partial differential equation method with the following inputs;

During the three months and six months ended January 31, 2022 the gain on fair value adjustments related to changes in credit spread amounted to $20,681 and $20,957, respectively.

The fair value of the Note at initial recognition was determined using a valuation technique that includes unobservable inputs. The Company identified a difference between the transaction price and the fair value of $96.2 million (US$79.7 million) (the “Day 1 loss”). The Company believes that time is the factor that market participants would take into account when pricing the note. Therefore, the unrecognized Day 1 loss is recognized on a straight-line basis in the statement of net loss over the contractual life of the Note.

The following table represents the movement of redemption amounts in the six months ended January 31, 2022 and the year ended July 31, 2021. Under the default terms redemptions are to be made at 115% of the principal amount owed from the date of default. All redemptions during the six months ended January 31, 2022 were made at 110% of principal amount owed under non-default terms of the agreement.

On January 18, 2022, the Company utilized cash proceeds from the sale of its interest in Belleville Complex Inc. to settle $10,111 of optional redemptions at a rate of 110% of principal (Note 10). No shortfall cash payments were issued in the six months ended January 31, 2022.

An increase/decrease in the US$/CA$ foreign exchange rate of 1% would result in a foreign exchange loss/gain adjustment of $3,295. Further, a decrease of credit spread by 1% would decrease the fair value of the instrument by $1,173 and an increase in share price of the Company by 10% would not result in a material change.

On June 1, 2021 as part of the Zenabis acquisition, the Company assumed senior notes which have a principal amount owing of $51,875 and a maturity date of March 31, 2025. The senior notes bear interest at 14% per annum calculated and compounded monthly in arrears and payable to the lender on the first day of each month. The debt is secured against the assets of Zenabis Global Inc and it’s subsidiaries.

22

Prior to the business acquisition of Zenabis, certain covenants were claimed by the lender to be in breach, and a demand for repayment was received by the borrower. Zenabis filed a petition on February 19, 2021 for a determination of the amount required to repay and terminate the senior notes and to obtain discharges of the debenture and related security (Note 30). Further, the senior notes contain a covenant that requires lender permission for a change in control event. This was not obtained prior to the close of the acquisition of Zenabis and as such, the debt remains in default. Accordingly, the senior notes have been classified as current debt and recorded initially at fair value at the business acquisition date and amortized cost thereafter.

Share-based Compensation

Share-based compensation is measured at fair value at the date of grant and are expensed over the vesting period. In determining the amount of share-based compensation, the Company used the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to establish the fair value of stock options and RSUs granted at the grant date by applying the following assumptions:

25

January31,2022 January31,2021
Exercise price (weighted average) $7.70 $19.96
Share price (weighted average) $7.56 $19.46
Risk-free interest rate (weighted average) 0.87% 1.39%
Expected life (years) of options (weighted average) 5 5
Expected annualized volatility (weighted average) 93% 82%

Volatility was estimated using the average historical volatility of the Company.

– For the year three and six months ended January 31, 2022, the Company allocated to inventory $nil (January 31, 2021 $600 and $840) of share-based compensation applicable to direct and indirect labour in the cultivation and production process.

25. Financial Instruments

Market Risk

Interest Risk

The Company has minimal exposure to interest rate risk related to any investments of cash and cash equivalents. The Company may invest cash in highly liquid investments with short terms to maturity that would accumulate interest at prevailing rates for such investments. As at January 31, 2022, the Company has $50,172 in notes payable (July 31, 2021 – $50,159) (Note 20) that bear interest at a fixed rate and therefore are not subject to interest risk.

The Company holds senior secured convertible debt that under the non-default terms bears no cash interest and is repayable at a fixed rate of 110% of the face value under the standard terms. The Company is in default of the senior secured convertible note at January 31, 2022, and therefore is subject to a prospective interest rate of 18% (Note 18). However, management obtained a waiver for the breach of financial covenant under the terms of the Strategic Alliance agreement with Tilray and the Lender (Note 37), which expires at the earlier of 75-days and the closing of the Tilray transaction.

Price Risk

Price risk is the risk of variability in fair value due to movements in equity or market prices.

Financial assets

The Company’s level 1 and 2 investments are susceptible to price risk arising from uncertainties about their future outlook, future values and the impact of market conditions. The fair value of marketable securities and derivatives held in publicly traded entities is based on quoted market prices, which the shares of the investments can be exchanged for.

Financial liabilities

During the six months ended January 31, 2022 the Company obtained an amendment to the Senior secured convertible notes equity condition effectively reducing the Equity Condition threshold by 70% allowing the Company increased discretion over redemption payments to be repaid in cash or equity (Note 18). The sensitivity of the Senior secured convertible note due to price risk is disclosed in Note 18.

26

If the January 31, 2022 fair value of these financial assets and liabilities were to increase or decrease by 10% the Company would incur a related net increase or decrease to Comprehensive loss of an estimated $27,246 (January 31, 2021 – no material impact). The following table presents the Company’s’ price risk exposure as at January 31, 2022 and July 31, 2021.

$ $
Financial assets 645 2,492
Financial liabilities (273,106) (373,432)
Total exposure (272,461) (370,940)

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Company’s cash held in escrow, restricted cash and trade receivables. As at January 31, 2022, the Company was exposed to credit related losses in the event of non-performance by the counterparties.

The Company provides credit to its customers in the normal course of business and has established credit evaluation and monitoring processes to mitigate credit risk. Since the majority of the medical sales are transacted with clients that are covered under various insurance programs, and adult use sales are transacted with crown corporations, the Company has limited credit risk.

Cash and cash equivalents, restricted funds and cash held in escrow are held with three Canadian commercial banks that hold Dun & Bradstreet credit ratings of AA (July 31, 2021 – AA) and an American commercial bank with a credit rating of A-. Certain restricted funds in the amount of $29,996 are managed by an insurer and are held as a cell captive within a Bermuda based private institution which does not have a publicly available credit rating; however the utilized custodian is Citibank which holds a credit rating of A+.

The majority of the trade receivables balance is held with crown corporations of Quebec, Ontario and Alberta. Creditworthiness of a counterparty is evaluated prior to the granting of credit. The Company has estimated the expected credit loss using a lifetime credit loss approach. The current expected credit loss at January 31, 2022 is $221 (July 31, 2021 - $66).

In measuring the expected credit losses, the adult-use cannabis trade receivables have been assessed on a per customer basis as they consist of a low number of material contracts. Medical trade receivables have been assessed collectively as they have similar credit risk characteristics. They have been grouped based on the days past due.

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and trade receivables represents the maximum exposure to credit risk and as at January 31, 2022 and amounted to $221,271 (July 31, 2021 – $522,908). During the six months ended January 31, 2022 the Company fully utilized the July 31, 2021 cash held in escrow balance to partially fund the acquisition of Redecan (Note 14).

The following table summarizes the Company’s aging of trade receivables as at January 31, 2022 and July 31, 2021:

Over90 days 1,737 625
Total 49,295 37,421

Economic Dependence Risk

Economic dependence risk is the risk of reliance upon a select number of customers, which significantly impacts the financial performance of the Company. For the six months ended January 31, 2022, the Company’s recorded sales to the crown corporations; Société québécoise du cannabis (“SQDC”) the Ontario Cannabis Store (“OCS”) and the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis agency (“AGLC”) representing 29%, 19% and 14%, respectively (January 31, 2021 – SQDC, OCS and AGLC representing 47%, 18% and 18%, respectively) of total applicable periods gross cannabis sales.

The Company holds trade receivables from the crown corporations SQDC, OCS and the AGLC representing 9%, 43% and 23%, respectively, of total trade receivables, respectively as at January 31, 2022 (July 31, 2021 – the three crown corporations SQDC, OCS and AGLC representing 13%, 29% and 13% of total trade receivables, respectively).

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they come due (See Note 2 – Going Concern ). The Company manages liquidity risk by reviewing on an ongoing basis, its capital requirements. As at January 31, 2022, the Company has $37,726 (July 31, 2021 – $67,462) of cash and cash equivalents and $49,295 (July 31, 2021 – $37,421) in trade receivables. The Company has current liabilities of $429,026 (July 31, 2021 – $503,638) on the statement of financial position. As well, the Company has remaining contractual commitments of $11,497 due before July 31, 2022.

27

The Company has restricted funds to satisfy debt of $50,172, presented in current liabilities (Note 5). The maturity analysis of undiscounted cash flows for lease obligation and convertible debentures is disclosed in Note 19 and Note 17, respectively.

Current financial liabilities include the Company’s obligation on the senior secured convertible note. The Company is in breach of a financial covenant at January 31, 2022 and is in default on the note (Note 18). On March 13, 2022, HTI agreed to an irrevocable waiver of action for the default event until the earlier of May 17, 2022 or completion of the Transaction described in Note 37. Management expects to settle a significant portion of this liability in equity. However, if the Company is unable to meet the requirements Equity Condition Waiver (Note 18) the Holder may demand settlement in cash. The analysis of potential cash outflow to redeem the Note up to the earliest maturity date is given below. During the six months ended January 31, 2022 the Company settled all the optional redemption payments in equity, with the exception of a cash payment made using the net proceeds on the sale of the Company’s interest in BCI (Note 10) and subsequent to the period, the Company’s settled February and March 2022 optional redemptions payments were done so in equity. The Company has also received a cash settlement waiver for the May 2023 optional redemption.

1 The senior secured convertible note has been valued using the January 31, 2022 US/CAD foreign exchange rate. The Company’s ability to settle the note in equity or cash is dependent upon meeting certain conditions as stated in Note 18.

Foreign Currency Risk

On January 31, 2022, the Company holds certain financial assets and liabilities denominated in United States Dollars which consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted funds, the senior secured convertible note and warrant liabilities. The Company does not currently use foreign exchange contracts to hedge its exposure of its foreign currency cash flows as management has determined that this risk is not significant. The Company closely monitors relevant economic information to minimize its net exposure to foreign currency risk. The Company is exposed to unrealized foreign exchange risk through its cash and cash equivalents. As at January 31, 2022, approximately $120,624 (US$94,838) (July 31, 2021 – $434,838 (US$348,931)) of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents was in US$. A 1% change in the foreign exchange rate would result in a change of $1,206 to the unrealized gain or loss on foreign exchange or on the gain or loss on financial instrument revaluation of US$ denominated warrants.

The Company’s Senior secured convertible note is denominated in US$. The Company plans to settle the majority of this debt in equity. However, if the Company is unable to meet the equity settlement condition or secure cash settlement waivers, the settlement may entail cash outflow. The sensitivity of the Senior secured convertible note due to foreign currency risk is disclosed in Note 18.

Related Parties and Transactions

Belleville Complex Inc.

The Company held a 25% interest in Belleville Complex Inc. (“BCI”) with the related party Olegna Holdings Inc. (“Olegna”), a company owned and controlled by a director of the Company, holding the remaining 75% in BCI. BCI purchased a configured 2,004,000 sq. ft. facility through a $20,279 loan issued and repaid during the year ended July 31, 2019. On January 18, 2022, the Company sold its 25% interest in BCI to the related party partner Olegna for net proceeds of $10,111 which were immediately used to partially repay the February 2022 optional redemption. The Company remains the anchor tenant of the BCI owned property until 2033. The Company has also subleased a portion of the space to Truss LP (Note 7).

Initial consideration for the 25% interest on the joint venture was deemed $nil, the carrying value of BCI at disposal was $984 and therefore as a result of the above transaction the Company recognized a gain on sale of $9,127, recognized in other income and losses.

29

Under this lease arrangement, the Company incurred $1,327 and $2,588 in lease and operating expenses during the three and six months ended January 31, 2022 (January 31, 2021 - $1,085 and $2,160). This lease liability is recognized on the Company’s balance sheet under IFRS 16 (Note 19).

Truss LP

The Company owns a 42.5% interest in Truss LP and accounts for the interest as an investment in an associate (Note 10).

The Company subleases a section of its Belleville lease to Truss LP. This sublease is recognized as a finance lease receivable on the Company’s balance sheet (Note 7).

Under a Temporary Supply and Services Agreement (“TSSA”) with Truss LP, the Company produced, and packaged cannabis infused beverages in the Cannabis Infused Beverage (“CIB”) Facility (located at the Belleville facility) and in the Gatineau Facility. The Company continues to market and sell beverages for the adult-use markets in Canada, in each case subject to the terms of its regulatory approvals and applicable laws. On October 1, 2021, Truss LP received a cannabis manufacturing and processing license under the Cannabis Act (Canada) and commenced manufacturing by producing CIBs within the Belleville facility. Under a new arrangement and until Truss LP receives its cannabis selling license, the Company purchases the manufactured goods from Truss LP and sells the beverages through to third parties, as a principal in the arrangement. Truss LP has applied for a Cannabis selling license but this has not been granted as at January 31, 2022.

During the three and six months ended January 31, 2022, the Company purchased $nil and $912 (January 31, 2021 – $884 and $5,173) of raw materials from Truss LP under the previous TSSA arrangement and $3,867 and $5,137 (January 31, 2021 – $nil and $nil) of manufactured products under the new arrangement in the three and six months ended.

29. Capital Management

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to (1) safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, and (2) maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

Management defines capital as the Company’s shareholders’ equity and debt. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management. The Company has not paid any dividends to its shareholders. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements other than the covenants related to the Company’s debt instruments as set out in Notes 17 and 18.

As at January 31, 2022, total managed capital was $465,874 (July 31, 2021 – $732,265).

30. Commitments and Contingencies

COMMITMENTS

The Company has certain contractual financial obligations related to service agreements, purchase agreements, rental agreements and construction contracts.

Some of these contracts have optional renewal terms that the Company may exercise at its option. The annual minimum payments payable under these obligations over the next five fiscal years and thereafter are as follows:

July 31, 2026 5,947
Thereafter 13,472
76,463

See Note 19 for recognized contractual commitments regarding the Company’s lease obligations under IFRS 16.

LETTERS OF CREDIT

The Company holds a five-year letter of credit with a Canadian financial institution to provide a maximum of $250 that amortizes $50 annually until its expiry on July 14, 2024. As at January 31, 2022, the remaining balance of the letter of credit is $200, was not drawn upon and is secured by cash held in collateral (Note 5).

30

On August 1, 2020, the Company reissued a pre-existing letter of credit with a Canadian financial institution under an agreement with a public utility provider entitling the utility provider to a maximum of $2,581, subject to certain operational requirements. The letter of credit has a one-year expiry from the date of issuance with an auto renewal feature. On January 1, 2021, the letter of credit was reduced to $2,352 by way of amendment. The letter of credit has not been drawn upon as at January 31, 2022. The letter of credit is secured by cash held in collateral (Note 5).

CONTINGENCIES

The Company may be, from time to time, subject to various administrative and other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Contingent liabilities associated with legal proceedings are recorded when a liability is probable, and the contingent liability can be reasonably estimated. While the following matters are ongoing, the Company disputes the allegations and intends to continue to vigorously defend against the claims.

As of January 31, 2022, the Company and its former Chief Executive Officer are defendants in a putative class-action lawsuit pending in the Québec Superior Court brought on behalf of certain purchasers of shares of the Company and filed on November 19, 2019. The lawsuit asserts causes of action for misrepresentations under the Québec Securities Act and the Civil Code of Québec in connection with certain statements contained in HEXO’s prospectus, public documents and public oral statements between April 11, 2018 and November 15, 2019. The allegations relate to: (1) statements made by the Company regarding its agreement with the Province of Québec to supply cannabis; (2) statements made by the Company regarding its acquisition of Newstrike, particularly the licensing of the Newstrike facilities and the forecasted synergies and/savings from the Newstrike acquisition; (3) statements made by the Company about the net revenues in Q4 2019 and fiscal year 2020; and (4) the certifications by Sebastien St-Louis and the underwriters of the Company. The plaintiffs seek to represent a class comprised of Québec residents who acquired the Company’s securities either in an Offering (primary market) or on the secondary market during such period and seek compensatory damages for all monetary losses and costs. The amount claimed for damages has not been quantified and no accrual has been made as at January 31, 2022 (July 31, 2021 - $nil).

As of January 31, 2022, the Company is named as a defendant in a proposed consumer protection class action filed on June 16, 2020, in the Court of Queens’ Bench in Alberta on behalf of residents of Canada who purchased cannabis products over specified periods of time. Several other licensed producers are also named as co-defendants in the action. The lawsuit asserts causes of action, including for breach of contract and breach of consumer protection legislation, arising out of allegations that the Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) or Cannabidiol (CBD) content of medicinal and recreational cannabis products sold by the Company and the other defendants to consumers was different from what was advertised on the products’ labels. Many of the cannabis products sold by the Company and other defendants were allegedly sold to consumers in containers using plastic bottles or caps that may have rapidly absorbed or degraded the THC or CBD content within them. By allegedly over-representing the true amount of THC or CBD in the products, the plaintiff claims that consumers would be required to consume substantially more product than they otherwise would have in order to obtain the desired effects or, in the alternative, would have consumed the product without obtaining the desired effects. The action has not yet been certified as a class action.

On June 1, 2021, by way of the business acquisition of Zenabis, the Company assumed senior notes payable and the following litigation with the associated lender of the notes (Note 20). Upon closing the acquisition of Zenabis, the Company was in default under the debenture due to the failure to obtain the lender’s consent for a change of control. On February 19, 2021, Zenabis filed a petition in the Supreme Court of British Columbia for a determination of the amount required to repay and terminate the debenture and to obtain discharges of the debenture and related security. The lender took the position that the amount to discharge the debenture and related securities was approximately $72,000. The Company believes the amount is approximately $53,000, which has been provided for in the consolidated financial statements. Under the senior secured convertible note agreement (Note 18), the Company has restricted funds to satisfy this liability (Note 5). The difference largely relates to whether a prepayment fee and default fees are payable under the debenture and to the amount to buyout and discharge of a revenue-based royalty liability. The petition was heard on March 29, March 30, March 31, April 1, April 15 and May 14, 2021. On December 17, 2021, the Supreme Court of British Columbia rendered judgment in the petition proceedings commenced by Zenabis on February 19, 2021, against Sundial Growers Inc. and 2657408 Ontario Inc. The Court concluded that the proceedings have not been determinative of the issues raised by the parties since those issues are not suitable for disposition by petition, and that while the petition hearing may have clarified some of those issues, those issued have yet to be tried and the merits of these issues have yet to be determined. As a result the debt remains outstanding and in default at January 31, 2022.

ONEROUS CONTRACT

During the year ended July 31, 2020, the Company recognized a $4,763 onerous contract provision related to a fixed price supply agreement for the supply of certain cannabis products. The supply agreement is currently the subject of legal proceedings. The costs and purchase obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received. The related loss was realized in operating expenses in the year ended July 31, 2020. The onerous contract liability remains as at January 31, 2022 and July 31, 2021.

Keystone Isolation Technology Inc

The Company holds a 60% interest in Keystone Isolation Technology Inc. (“KIT”) which was intended to principally operate out of Belleville Facility, and the remaining 40% represents the non-controlling interest held by Chroma Global Technologies Ltd. Management has halted KIT operations indefinitely and as such all KIT assets have been impaired (Note 11). KIT had no revenues or other expenses during the three or the six months ended January 31, 2022 or the year ended July 31, 2021.

ZenPharm Limited

The Company holds a 60% interest in ZenPharm Limited ("ZenPharm") obtained through the acquisition of Zenabis on June 1, 2021. ZenPharm was formed to service the European medical cannabis market.

33. Revenue from Sale of Goods

The Company disaggregated its revenues from the sale of goods between sales of cannabis beverages (“Cannabis beverage sales”) and dried flower, vapes, and other cannabis products (“Cannabis sales excluding beverages”). The Company’s cannabis beverage sales are derived from the CIB division, which was established in order to manufacture, produce and sell cannabis beverage products. The CIB division operated under the Company’s cannabis manufacturing licensing, in compliance with Health Canada and the Cannabis Act’s regulations until Truss LP received its cannabis manufacturing license on October 1, 2021 (Note 28). The Company acts as a principal in the sale of CIBs to customers and therefore, continues to present revenue from CIB on a gross basis. The Company expects to continue to recognize CIB revenue on a gross basis at least until Truss LP receives its cannabis selling license.

37. Subsequent Events

Sale of Amended Senior Secured Convertible Notes to Tilray Brands & $180 million Equity Backstop Financing

On March 2, 2022, the HEXO Corp. board of directors approved a proposed strategic partnership agreement with Tilray Brands, in which they will acquire US$211 million of senior secured convertible notes (the “Senior Notes”) that were originally issued by HEXO (the “Transaction”) to HT Investments MA LLC (“HTI”) (Note 18).

Under the terms of the transaction, Tilray Brands has agreed to acquire 100% of the remaining US$211.3 million outstanding principal balance of the Senior Notes.

As consideration Tilray Brands will pay HTI 95% of the then outstanding principal for the Senior Notes (“Purchase Price”). Until closing, HTI may continue to redeem the Senior Notes pursuant to their terms, however in no event shall the principal of the purchased Notes be less than US$182 million prior to the closing of the proposed Transaction. In addition HEXO will also deliver to HTI HEXO common shares equal to 12% of the Outstanding Principal divided by 95% of the most recent closing stock price of HEXO common shares on the day prior to the announcement of the Transaction, as a fee for the amendment of the Notes required pursuant to proposed Transaction.

In addition to the restructured debt, HEXO has entered into an agreement with KAOS pursuant to which HEXO, KAOS and such other parties that may be added to the standby commitment (collectively, the “Standby Parties”) are expected to negotiate a standby equity purchase agreement (the “Standby Agreement”). It is expected that the Standby Agreement will permit HEXO to demand the Standby Parties to subscribe for an aggregate of $5 million of Common Shares per month over a period of 36 months. The Common Shares are expected to be issued at a 10% discount to the 20 day volume weighted average price of HEXO’s shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange at the time the demand is made. The maximum standby commitment is expected to be $180 million over the term of the Standby Agreement (the “Standby Commitment”). A 5% standby commitment fee payable in Common Shares will be due upon the execution of the Standby Agreement. The proceeds from the Standby Commitment are expected to be used to fund interest payments under the Notes and general corporate purposes.

The proposed transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including (i) completion of all required amendments to the terms of the Notes; (ii) execution of definitive documentation relating to the Notes; (iii) receipt of approvals from the Toronto Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, satisfactory to both HEXO and Tilray Brands, as applicable; (iv) Tilray Brands’ satisfactory completion of confirmatory financial due diligence; (v) receipt of all consents and approvals required by any regulatory authorities; (vi) final approval of the boards of directors of each of HEXO and Tilray Brands; (vii) receipt of shareholder approval from the HEXO shareholders; (viii) no material adverse effect having occurred in respect of HEXO; and (ix) receipt of all necessary approvals relating to the C$180 million committed equity line provided by KAOS.
