Explanatory Note

As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Tilray Brands, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 22, 2023 (the “Original Form 8-K”), the Company consummated an arrangement on June 22, 2023 with HEXO Corp., a corporation existing under the laws of the Province of Ontario (“HEXO”), whereby the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding common and preferred shares of HEXO pursuant to a plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the “Arrangement”).
 
This Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A amends the Original Form 8-K solely to provide the disclosures required by Item 9.01 of Form 8-K that were omitted from the Original Form 8-K, including the required financial statements of HEXO and the required pro forma financial information of the Company. Except as otherwise provided herein, the disclosures made in the Original Form 8-K remain unchanged.
 
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
 
Statements in this Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A, including the pro forma condensed combined financial information attached hereto, contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The pro forma condensed combined financial information is based on preliminary estimates and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected or implied by the pro forma condensed combined financial information or the estimates and assumptions used in preparing the pro forma condensed combined financial information. The pro forma condensed combined financial information and forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and projections about future events. Investors are cautioned that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or results and involve risks and uncertainties that cannot be predicted or quantified and, consequently, the actual performance of the Company may differ materially from that expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Certain factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company’s expectations include the risks detailed under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2022, as amended, and in the other documents the Company files with the SEC. Many of these factors are beyond the Company’s ability to control or predict. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance.
