Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
As previously disclosed in the Annual Report, in November 2019, the Corporation and certain of its current and former officers were named as defendants in three purported class action claims filed in the U.S. District Court (the “Court”); two of these complaints have since been dismissed. The plaintiffs allege that the defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose material adverse facts, regarding Canopy Growth’s receivables, business, operations and prospects relating to, among other things, the demand for its softgel and oil products. In addition, as previously disclosed, in November 2020, the defendants moved to dismiss the plaintiff’s second amended complaint and on May 6, 2021, U.S. District Court Judge McNulty granted the defendant’s motion to dismiss, without prejudice to the plaintiffs filing a third amended complaint with the Court within 30 days. On June 14, 2021, the plaintiffs filed their third amended complaint. Defendants filed their motion to dismiss the third amended complaint on August 16, 2021. The motion will not be fully briefed until at least November 24, 2021.
