PART I — INFORMATION REQUIRED TO BE DELIVERED TO OFFEREES OR PURCHASERS

Table of Contents

A copy of this preliminary short form base shelf prospectus has been filed with the securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces of Canada, other than the Province of Québec, but has not yet become final for the purpose of the sale of securities. Information contained in this preliminary short form base shelf prospectus may not be complete and may have to be amended. The securities may not be sold until a receipt for the short form base shelf prospectus is obtained from the securities regulatory authorities.

This short form prospectus is a base shelf prospectus. This short form prospectus has been filed under legislation in each of the provinces of Canada, other than the Province of Québec, that permits certain information about these securities to be determined after this prospectus has become final and that permits the omission from this prospectus of that information. The legislation requires the delivery to purchasers of a prospectus supplement containing the omitted information within a specified period of time after agreeing to purchase any of these securities.

Information contained herein is subject to completion or amendment. A registration statement relating to these securities has been filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission but is not yet effective. These securities may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted prior to the time the registration statement becomes effective. This prospectus shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.

No securities regulatory authority has expressed an opinion about these securities and it is an offence to claim otherwise. This short form base shelf prospectus constitutes a public offering of these securities only in those jurisdictions where they may be lawfully offered for sale and therein only by persons permitted to sell such securities.

Information has been incorporated by reference in this short form base shelf prospectus from documents filed with securities commissions or similar authorities in Canada and with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Copies of the documents incorporated herein by reference may be obtained on request without charge from the Corporate Secretary of Aphria Inc. at 98 Talbot St. W., Leamington, Ontario, N8H 1M8, or by telephone at 1-844-427-4742, and are also available electronically at www.sedar.com.

This short form base shelf prospectus (this "Prospectus") relates to the offering for sale by Aphria Inc. (the "Company" or "Aphria") from time to time, during the 25-month period that this Prospectus, including any amendments thereto, remains valid, of up to US$500,000,000 (or the equivalent in other currencies based on the applicable exchange rate at the time of the offering) in the aggregate of: (i) common shares ("Common Shares") in the capital of the Company; (ii) warrants ("Warrants") to purchase Common Shares and/or other Securities (as defined below); (iii) subscription receipts ("Subscription Receipts") convertible into Common Shares and/or other Securities; (iv) debt securities ("Debt Securities"), which may consist of bonds, debentures, notes or other evidences of indebtedness of any kind, nature or description and which may be issuable in series; (v) securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares and/or other Securities ("Convertible Securities"); (vi) rights ("Rights") exercisable to acquire, or convertible into, Common Shares and/or other Securities; and (vii) units ("Units") comprised of one or more of any of the other Securities, or any combination of such Securities (the Common Shares, Warrants, Subscription Receipts, Debt Securities, Convertible Securities, Rights and Units are collectively referred to herein as the "Securities"). The Securities may be offered in amounts, at prices and on terms to be determined based on market conditions at the time of sale and set forth in one or more accompanying prospectus supplements (each, a "Prospectus Supplement"). In addition, the Securities may be offered and issued in consideration for the acquisition of other businesses, assets or securities by the Company or any one of its subsidiaries. The consideration for any such acquisition may consist of the Securities separately, a combination of Securities or any combination of, among other things, Securities, cash and assumption of liabilities. One or more securityholders (each a "Selling Securityholder") of the Company may also offer and sell Securities under this Prospectus. See "Selling Securityholders".

Table of Contents

All information permitted under applicable laws to be omitted from this Prospectus will be contained in one or more Prospectus Supplements that will be delivered to purchasers together with this Prospectus except in cases where an exemption from such delivery has been obtained. Each Prospectus Supplement will be incorporated by reference into this Prospectus for the purposes of securities legislation as of the date of the Prospectus Supplement and only for the purposes of the distribution of the Securities to which the Prospectus Supplement pertains.

The Company is permitted, under a multi-jurisdictional disclosure system (the "MJDS") adopted by the securities regulatory authorities in Canada and the United States, to prepare this Prospectus and any Prospectus Supplement in accordance with Canadian disclosure requirements, which are different from those of the United States.

The Company prepares its financial statements, which are incorporated by reference in this Prospectus, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and such financial statements are subject to the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and auditor independence standards. The Company's financial statements may not be comparable to the financial statements of United States issuers.

The enforcement by investors of civil liabilities under United States federal securities laws may be affected adversely because the Company is a corporation amalgamated under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada, and all of its executive offices, administrative activities and assets are located outside the United States. In addition, most of the directors and officers of the Company are residents of jurisdictions other than the United States and all or a substantial portion of the assets of those persons are or may be located outside the United States. See "Enforceability of Civil Liabilities".

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION (THE "SEC") OR ANY STATE OR CANADIAN SECURITIES COMMISSION OR REGULATORY AUTHORITY NOR HAS THE SEC OR ANY STATE OR CANADIAN SECURITIES COMMISSION OR REGULATORY AUTHORITY PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENCE.

Investors should be aware that the acquisition of the Securities described herein may have tax consequences both in the United States and in Canada. Such tax consequences for investors who are residents in, or citizens of, the United States may not be described fully herein or in any applicable Prospectus Supplement. You should read the tax discussion in any applicable Prospectus Supplement; however, this Prospectus or any applicable Prospectus Supplement may not fully describe these tax consequences, and you should consult your tax adviser prior to making any investment in the Securities.

The specific terms of any Securities offered will be described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, including, where applicable: (i) in the case of Common Shares, the number of Common Shares offered, the offering price, whether the Common Shares are being offered for cash, and any other terms specific to the Common Shares offered; (ii) in the case of Warrants, the number of Warrants being offered, the offering price, the designation, number and terms of the other Securities purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants, and any procedures that will result in the adjustment of those numbers, the exercise price, the dates and periods of exercise, whether the Warrants are being offered for cash, and any other terms specific to the Warrants offered; (iii) in the case of Subscription Receipts, the number of Subscription Receipts being offered, the offering price, the terms, conditions and procedures for the conversion of the Subscription Receipts into other Securities, the designation, number and terms of such other Securities, whether the Subscription Receipts are being offered for cash, and any other terms specific to the Subscription Receipts offered; (iv) in the case of Debt Securities, the specific designation of the Debt Securities, the aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities, the maturity, the offering price (in the event the offering is a fixed price distribution), the manner of determining the offering price(s) (in the event the offering is a non-fixed price distribution), whether payment on the Debt Securities will be senior, senior subordinated or subordinated to the Company's other liabilities and obligations, whether the Debt Securities will bear interest, the interest rate or method of determining the interest rate, any interest payment date(s), covenants, events of default, any terms of redemption, any conversion or exchange rights and any other specific terms; (v) in the case of Convertible Securities, the number of Convertible Securities offered, the offering price (in the event the offering is a fixed price distribution), the manner of determining the offering price(s) (in the event the offering is a non-fixed price distribution), the procedures for the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities into or for Common Shares and/or other Securities and any other specific terms; (vi) in the case of Rights, the designation, number and terms of the Common Shares or other Securities purchasable upon exercise of the Rights, any procedures that will result in the adjustment of these numbers, the date of determining the shareholders entitled to the Rights distribution, the exercise price, the dates and periods of exercise and any other terms specific to the Rights being offered; and (vii) in the case of Units, the number of Units being offered, the offering price, the number and terms of the Securities comprising the Units, whether the Units are being offered for cash, and any other terms specific to the Units offered. A Prospectus Supplement relating to a particular offering of Securities may include terms pertaining to the Securities being offered thereunder that are not within the terms and parameters described in this Prospectus. Where required by statute, regulation or policy, and where the Securities are offered in currencies other than Canadian dollars, appropriate disclosure of foreign exchange rates applicable to the Securities will be included in the Prospectus Supplement describing the Securities.

No underwriter or agent has been involved in the preparation of this Prospectus or performed any review of the contents of this Prospectus.

Mr. Irwin D. Simon, Mr. Tom Looney, Mr. Walter Robb and Mr. David Hopkinson are directors of the Company and each reside outside of Canada. Each of Mr. Simon, Mr. Looney, Mr. Robb and Mr. Hopkinson has appointed Aphria at 98 Talbot St. W., Leamington, Ontario, N8H 1M8, as his agent for service of process in Canada. Prospective investors are advised that it may not be possible for investors to enforce judgements obtained in Canada against any person or company that is incorporated, continued or otherwise organized under the laws of a foreign jurisdiction or resides outside of Canada, even if the party has appointed an agent for service of process.

Table of Contents

The Company and the Selling Securityholders may offer and sell the Securities to or through underwriters or dealers purchasing as principals, and may also sell directly to one or more purchasers or through agents or pursuant to applicable statutory exemptions. See "Plan of Distribution". The Prospectus Supplement relating to a particular offering of Securities will identify each underwriter, dealer or agent, as the case may be, engaged by the Company and/or the Selling Securityholders in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities, and will set forth the terms of the offering of such Securities, including, to the extent applicable, any fees, discounts or any other compensation payable to underwriters, dealers or agents in connection with the offering, the method of distribution of the Securities, the identity of the Selling Securityholders, the initial issue price (in the event that the offering is a fixed price distribution), the proceeds that the Company and/or the Selling Securityholders will, or expect to receive and any other material terms of the plan of distribution.

The Securities may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices or at a non-fixed price or prices. If offered on a non-fixed price basis, the Securities may be offered at market prices prevailing at the time of sale (including, without limitation, sales deemed to be "at-the-market distributions" as defined in National Instrument 44-102 — Shelf Distributions, including sales made directly on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX"), the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), or other trading markets for the Securities), at prices determined by reference to the prevailing price of a specified security in a specified market or at prices to be negotiated with purchasers, in which case the compensation payable to an underwriter, dealer or agent in connection with any such sale will be decreased by the amount, if any, by which the aggregate price paid for Securities by the purchasers is less than the gross proceeds paid by the underwriter, dealer or agent to the Company and/or the Selling Securityholders. The price at which the Securities will be offered and sold may vary from purchaser to purchaser and during the period of distribution.

In connection with any offering of Securities, other than an "at-the-market distribution" (as defined under applicable Canadian securities legislation), unless otherwise specified in a Prospectus Supplement, the underwriters, dealers or agents, as the case may be, may over-allot or effect transactions which stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the Securities at a level other than those which otherwise might prevail on the open market. Such transactions may be commenced, interrupted or discontinued at any time. A purchaser who acquires Securities forming part of the underwriters', dealers' or agents' over-allocation position acquires those securities under this Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement relating to the particular offering of Securities, regardless of whether the over-allocation position is ultimately filled through the exercise of the over-allotment option or secondary market purchases. See "Plan of Distribution". No underwriter or dealer involved in an "at-the-market distribution" under this Prospectus, no affiliate of such an underwriter or dealer and no person or company acting jointly or in concert with such underwriter or dealer will over-allot Securities in connection with such distribution or effect any other transactions that are intended to stabilize or maintain the market price of the Securities.

The issued and outstanding Common Shares are traded on the TSX and on the NYSE under the symbol "APHA". On August 22, 2019, the last trading day prior to the date of this Prospectus, the closing price of the Common Shares was $8.65 and US$6.51 on the TSX and the NYSE, respectively.

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, each series or issue of Securities (other than Common Shares) will not be listed on any securities exchange. Accordingly, there is currently no market through which the Securities (other than Common Shares) may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell such Securities purchased under this Prospectus. This may affect the pricing of such Securities in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of such Securities and the extent of issuer regulation. See "Risk Factors".

Investing in the Securities is speculative and involves significant risks. Readers should carefully review and evaluate the risk factors contained in this Prospectus, the applicable Prospectus Supplement and in the documents incorporated by reference herein before purchasing any Securities. See "Forward-Looking Information" and "Risk Factors".

Neither the Company nor any Selling Securityholder is making an offer of the Securities in any jurisdiction where such offer is not permitted.

Unless otherwise specified in a Prospectus Supplement relating to any Securities offered, certain legal matters relating to Canadian and Ontario law in connection with the offering of the Securities will be passed upon on behalf of Aphria by Fasken Martineau DuMoulin LLP. Certain legal matters relating to United States law in connection with the offering of the Securities will be passed upon on behalf of Aphria by DLA Piper LLP (US), New York, New York.

Market data and certain industry forecasts used in this Prospectus or any applicable Prospectus Supplement and the documents incorporated by reference herein or therein were obtained from market research, publicly available information and industry publications. The Company believes that these sources are generally reliable, but the accuracy and completeness of the information is not guaranteed. The Company has not independently verified this information and does not make any representation as to the accuracy of this information.

The Company's head office is located at 98 Talbot St. W., Leamington, Ontario, N8H 1M8. The Company's registered office is located at 1 Adelaide Street East, Suite 2310, Toronto, Ontario M5C 2V9.

        Forward-looking statements contained in certain documents incorporated by reference in this Prospectus are based on the key assumptions described in such documents. Certain of the forward-looking statements contained herein and incorporated by reference concerning the cannabis industry and the general expectations of Aphria concerning the cannabis industry and the Company's business and operations are based on estimates prepared by Aphria using data from publicly available governmental sources as well as from market research and industry analysis and on assumptions based on data and knowledge of this industry which Aphria believes to be reasonable. However, although generally indicative of relative market positions, market shares and performance characteristics, such data is inherently imprecise. While Aphria is not aware of any misstatement regarding any industry or government data presented herein, the cannabis industry involves risks and uncertainties and is subject to change based on various factors.

        Readers are cautioned that the above list of cautionary statements is not exhaustive. A number of factors could cause actual events, performance or results to differ materially from what is projected in forward-looking statements. The purpose of forward-looking statements is to provide the reader with a description of management's expectations, and such forward-looking statements may not be appropriate for any other purpose. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements contained in this Prospectus, in any Prospectus Supplement or in any document incorporated by reference. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law. The forward-looking statements contained in this Prospectus, any Prospectus Supplement and the documents incorporated by reference herein are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. Holders of the Securities should read this entire Prospectus, and each applicable Prospectus Supplement, and consult their own professional advisors to ascertain and assess the income tax and legal risks and other aspects associated with holding Securities.


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

        The Company has filed a registration statement on Form F-10 with the SEC under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), relating to the Securities. This Prospectus, including the documents incorporated by reference into this Prospectus, which forms a part of the registration statement, does not contain all of the information contained in the registration statement, certain items of which are contained in the exhibits to the registration statement as permitted by the rules and regulations of the SEC. See "Documents Filed as Part of the Registration Statement". Statements included or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus about the contents of any contract, agreement or other documents referred to are not necessarily complete, and in each instance, readers should refer to the exhibits for a complete description of the matter involved. Each such statement is qualified in its entirety by such reference. Each time the Company sells Securities under the registration statement, the Company will provide a Prospectus Supplement that will contain specific information about the terms of that offering. The Prospectus Supplement may also add, update or change information contained in this Prospectus.

        The Company is subject to informational requirements of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "U.S. Exchange Act"), and applicable Canadian requirements and, in accordance therewith, the

Table of Contents

Company files reports and other information with the SEC and with securities regulatory authorities in Canada. Under the MJDS adopted by the United States and Canada, documents and other information that the Company files with the SEC may be prepared in accordance with the disclosure requirements of Canada, which are different from those of the United States. As a foreign private issuer, the Company is exempt from the rules under the U.S. Exchange Act prescribing the furnishing and content of proxy statements, and the Company's officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the U.S. Exchange Act. Reports and other information filed by the Company with, or furnished to, the SEC may be accessed on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. Readers may read and download any public document that the Company has filed with the securities commission or similar regulatory authority in each of the provinces of Canada, other than Québec, on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.


ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

        The Company was amalgamated under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada, and all of its executive offices, administrative activities and assets are located outside the United States. In addition, most of the directors and officers of the Company are residents of jurisdictions other than the United States and all or a substantial portion of the assets of those persons are or may be located outside the United States.

        As a result, investors who reside in the United States may have difficulty serving legal process in the United States upon the Company or its directors or officers, as applicable, or enforcing judgments obtained in United States courts against any of them or the assets of any of them located outside the United States, or enforcing against them in the appropriate Canadian court judgments obtained in United States courts, including, but not limited to, judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States, or bringing an original action in the appropriate Canadian courts to enforce liabilities against the Company or any of its directors or officers, as applicable, based upon United States federal securities laws.

        In the United States, the Company has filed with the SEC, concurrently with Aphria's registration statement on Form F-10, an appointment of agent for service of process on Form F-X. Under such Form F-X, the Company has appointed CT Corporation System as its agent for service of process in the United States in connection with any investigation or administrative proceeding conducted by the SEC, and any civil suit or action brought against the Company in a U.S. court arising out of or related to or concerning the offering of the Securities under the registration statement.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

        The following is a summary of information about Aphria and does not contain all the information about Aphria that may be important to prospective investors. Prospective investors should read the more detailed information including, but not limited to, the AIF, financial statements and management's discussion and analysis, that are incorporated by reference into and are considered to be a part of this Prospectus.

Aphria

        Aphria is licensed to produce and sell medical and adult-use cannabis and cannabis-derived extracts in Canada under the provisions of the Cannabis Act. Aphria received its licence to produce and sell medical cannabis on November 26, 2014, followed by its licence to sell cannabis extracts on August 18, 2016. These licences (the "Licences") were extended to include the adult-use market on October 17, 2018. The Licences currently do not contain a cap on production or sales. The Licences have a current term that ends on September 25, 2019.

        Aphria's head office is based in Leamington, Ontario, adjacent to the Company's original 1,100,000 square foot Leamington greenhouse facility known as "Aphria One". On March 4, 2019, Health Canada granted an amendment permitting the Company to commence production in an additional 800,000 square feet of facilities at Aphria One, as part of the Company's Part IV and Part V Expansions (each as defined in the AIF).

        Aphria holds third-party independent good manufacturing practice ("GMP") certification of its Leamington, Ontario growing and processing facilities. The certification is for the current GMP standards of CFR 21 parts 210/211 established by the United States Food and Drug Administration for Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients and Finished Pharmaceuticals. Aphria One is in the process of obtaining EU-GMP certification ("EU-GMP") for the supply of bulk products to the Company's remaining EU-GMP sites for production of finished product.

Broken Coast

        In addition to the Licences, the Company equally holds a licence issued pursuant to the Cannabis Act in the name of its subsidiary, Broken Coast Cannabis Ltd. ("Broken Coast"). Broken Coast operates a fully licensed indoor cannabis production facility on Vancouver Island. The facility sits on a 4.5 acre parcel of owned land that has the necessary surrounding infrastructure to support further expansion. Broken Coast's licence was renewed on April 20, 2018 and provides for total production space of 44,000 square feet.

Avanti

        Through the acquisition of Nuuvera Inc., the Company acquired Brampton-based ARA — Avanti Rx Analytics Inc. ("Avanti"), which currently holds four Canadian licences: (i) Cannabis Processing Licence; (ii) Cannabis Analytical Testing Licence; (iii) Drug Establishment Licence; and, (iv) Medical Device Establishment Licence.

        In addition to allowing the Company to possess and handle cannabis and cannabis derivative products, these licences allow Avanti to engage in the possession, production, packaging, sale, transportation and delivery and testing of drugs and medical devices. The Company is also able to complete testing/analysis of active pharmaceutical ingredients.

        Avanti is currently in the process of securing EU-GMP, which will then be used as the Canadian staging site for international bound GMP certified products. The Company's EU-GMP certification will cover the extraction, post processing, testing, packaging and shipping process.

case may be, will be paid out of the proceeds from the sale of Securities, unless otherwise stated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. See "Risk Factors — Discretion in the Use of Proceeds".

        The Company may, from time to time, issue securities (including Securities) other than pursuant to this Prospectus. The Company will not receive any proceeds from any sale of Securities by a Selling Securityholder.

        The Company and the Selling Securityholders may from time to time during the 25-month period that this Prospectus, including any amendments hereto, remains valid, offer for sale and issue, as applicable, up to an aggregate of US$500,000,000 (or the equivalent in other currencies based on the applicable exchange rate at the time of the offering) in Securities hereunder.

        The Company and the Selling Securityholders may offer and sell the Securities to or through underwriters or dealers purchasing as principals, and may also sell directly to one or more purchasers or through agents or pursuant to applicable statutory exemptions. The Prospectus Supplement relating to a particular offering of Securities will identify each underwriter, dealer or agent, as the case may be, engaged by the Company or any Selling Securityholder in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities, and will set forth the terms of the offering of such Securities, including, to the extent applicable, any fees, discounts or any other compensation payable to underwriters, dealers or agents in connection with the offering, the method of distribution of the Securities, the identity of the Selling Securityholders, the initial issue price, the proceeds that the Company will receive and any other material terms of the plan of distribution. Any initial offering price and discounts, concessions or commissions allowed or re-allowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time.

        In addition, the Securities may be offered and issued in consideration for the acquisition of other businesses, assets or securities by the Company or one of its subsidiaries. The consideration for any such acquisition may consist of the Securities separately, a combination of Securities or any combination of, among other things, Securities, cash and assumption of liabilities. In addition, one or more Selling Securityholders of the Company may sell Securities to or through underwriters or dealers purchasing as principals and may also sell the Securities to one or more purchasers directly, through statutory exemptions, or through agents designated from time to time. See "Selling Securityholders".

        The Securities may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices or at prices which may be changed or at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing prices or at negotiated prices, including sales in transactions that are deemed to be "at-the-market distributions" as defined in National Instrument 44-102 — Shelf Distributions ("NI 44-102"), including sales made directly on the TSX, the NYSE or other existing trading markets for the Common Shares. The price at which the Securities will be offered and sold may vary from purchaser to purchaser and during the period of distribution.

        In connection with the sale of the Securities, underwriters, dealers or agents may receive compensation from the Company, any Selling Securityholder or from other parties, including in the form of underwriters', dealers' or agents' fees, commissions or concessions. Underwriters, dealers and agents that participate in the distribution of the Securities may be deemed to be underwriters for the purposes of applicable U.S. and/or Canadian securities legislation and any such compensation received by them from the Company or any Selling Securityholder and any profit on the resale of the Securities by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions. In connection with any offering of Securities, except as otherwise set out in a Prospectus Supplement relating to a particular offering of Securities and other than in relation to an "at-the-market" distribution, the underwriters, dealers or agents, as the case may be, may over-allot or effect transactions intended to fix, stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the Securities at a level other than those which otherwise might prevail on the open market. Such transactions may be commenced, interrupted or discontinued at any time.

        Underwriters, dealers or agents who participate in the distribution of the Securities may be entitled, under agreements to be entered into with the Company and/or any Selling Securityholder, to indemnification by the Company and/or any Selling Securityholder against certain liabilities, including liabilities under U.S. and/or Canadian securities legislation, or to contribution with respect to payments which such underwriters, dealers or

7

Table of Contents

agents may be required to make in respect thereof. Such underwriters, dealers and agents may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for, the Company in the ordinary course of business.

        Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, each series or issue of Securities (other than Common Shares) will be a new issue of Securities with no established trading market. Accordingly, there is currently no market through which the Securities (other than Common Shares) may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell such Securities purchased under this Prospectus. This may affect the pricing of such Securities in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of such Securities and the extent of issuer regulation. See "Risk Factors".

PRIOR SALES

        Information in respect of prior sales of the Common Shares and other Securities distributed under this Prospectus and for securities that are convertible or exchangeable into the Common Shares or such other Securities within the previous 12-month period will be provided, as required, in a Prospectus Supplement with respect to the issuance of the Common Shares and/or other Securities pursuant to such Prospectus Supplement.


TRADING PRICE AND VOLUME

        The Common Shares are currently listed on the TSX and NYSE under the trading symbol "APHA". Trading price and volume of the Common Shares will be provided, as required, in each Prospectus Supplement.


DIVIDENDS

        Aphria has never paid any dividends on its Common Shares. Aphria does not intend to pay dividends on any of its Common Shares in the foreseeable future. Any decision to pay dividends on its Common Shares in the future will be at the discretion of the Company's board of directors and will depend on, among other things, the Company's results of operations, current and anticipated cash requirements and surplus, financial condition, any future contractual restrictions and financing agreement covenants, solvency tests imposed by corporate law and other factors that the board of directors may deem relevant.


CERTAIN CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

        Owning any of the Securities may subject holders to tax consequences. The applicable Prospectus Supplement may describe certain Canadian federal income tax consequences to an investor of acquiring, owning and disposing of any of the Securities offered thereunder. Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors prior to deciding to purchase any of the Securities.


RISK FACTORS

        Before deciding to invest in any Securities, prospective investors of the Securities should consider carefully the risk factors and the other information contained and incorporated by reference in this Prospectus and the applicable Prospectus Supplement relating to a specific offering of Securities before purchasing the Securities, including those risks identified and discussed under the heading "Risk Factors" in the AIF, which is incorporated by reference herein. See "Documents Incorporated by Reference".

        An investment in the Securities offered hereunder is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. The risks and uncertainties described or incorporated by reference herein are not the only ones the Company may face. Additional risks and uncertainties, including those that the Company is unaware of or that are currently deemed immaterial, may also become important factors that affect the Company and its business. If any such risks actually occur, the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

        Prospective investors should carefully consider the risks below and in the AIF and the other information elsewhere in this Prospectus and the applicable Prospectus Supplement and consult with their professional advisors to assess any investment in the Company.

        In addition, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements in this Prospectus, the documents incorporated herein and the Company's other public disclosure. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve numerous assumptions, known and unknown risks and uncertainties, of both a general and specific nature, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements or contribute to the possibility that predictions, forecasts and projections will prove to be materially inaccurate.

Risks Related to the Securities

Return on Securities is not Guaranteed

        There is no guarantee that the Securities will earn any positive return in the short term or long term. A holding of Securities is speculative and involves a high degree of risk and should be undertaken only by holders whose financial resources are sufficient to enable them to assume such risks and who have no need for immediate liquidity in their investment. A holding of Securities is appropriate only for holders who have the capacity to absorb a loss of some or all of their holdings.

Discretion in the Use of Proceeds

        Management of the Company will have broad discretion with respect to the application of net proceeds received by the Company from the sale of Securities under this Prospectus or a future Prospectus Supplement and may spend such proceeds in ways that do not improve the Company's results of operations or enhance the value of the Common Shares or its other securities issued and outstanding from time to time. Any failure by management to apply these funds effectively could result in financial losses that could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business or cause the price of the securities of the Company issued and outstanding from time to time to decline.

Dilution

        The Company may sell additional Common Shares or other Securities that are convertible or exchangeable into Common Shares in subsequent offerings or may issue additional Common Shares or other Securities to finance future acquisitions. The Company cannot predict the size or nature of future sales or issuances of securities or the effect, if any, that such future sales and issuances will have on the market price of the Common Shares. Sales or issuances of substantial numbers of Common Shares or other Securities that are convertible or exchangeable into Common Shares, or the perception that such sales or issuances could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices of the Common Shares. With any additional sale or issuance of Common Shares or other Securities that are convertible or exchangeable into Common Shares, investors will suffer dilution to their voting power and economic interest in the Company. Furthermore, to the extent holders of the Company's stock options or other convertible securities convert or exercise their securities and sell the Common Shares they receive, the trading price of the Common Shares on the TSX and/or NYSE may decrease due to the additional amount of Common Shares available in the market.

Volatile Market Price of the Common Shares

        The market price of the Common Shares may be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to numerous factors, many of which are beyond the Company's control. This volatility may affect the ability of holders of Common Shares to sell their securities at an advantageous price. Market price fluctuations in the Common Shares may be due to the Company's operating results failing to meet expectations of securities analysts or investors in any period, downward revision in securities analysts' estimates, adverse changes in general market conditions or economic trends, acquisitions, dispositions or other material public announcements by the Company or its competitors, along with a variety of additional factors. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of the Common Shares.

        Financial markets have historically at times experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected the market prices of equity securities of companies and that have often been unrelated to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. Accordingly, the market price of the Common Shares may decline even if the Company's operating results, underlying asset values or prospects have not changed. Additionally, these factors, as well as other related factors, may cause decreases in asset values that are deemed to be other than temporary, which may result in impairment losses. There can be no assurance that continuing fluctuations in price and volume will not occur. If such increased levels of volatility and market turmoil continue, the Company's operations could be adversely impacted and the trading price of the Common Shares may be materially adversely affected.

Table of Contents

Liquidity

        Shareholders of the Company may be unable to sell significant quantities of Common Shares into the public trading markets without a significant reduction in the price of their Common Shares, or at all. There can be no assurance that there will be sufficient liquidity of the Common Shares on the trading market, and that the Company will continue to meet the listing requirements of the TSX, the NYSE or achieve listing on any other public listing exchange.

        There is currently no market through which the Securities, other than the Common Shares, may be sold and, unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, none of the Warrants, Subscription Receipts, Debt Securities, Convertible Securities, Rights or Units will be listed on any securities or stock exchange or any automated dealer quotation system. As a consequence, purchasers may not be able to resell Warrants, Subscription Receipts, Debt Securities, Convertible Securities, Rights or Units purchased under this Prospectus or any Prospectus Supplement. This may affect the pricing of the Securities, other than the Common Shares, in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of these securities and the extent of issuer regulation. There can be no assurance that an active trading market for the Securities, other than the Common Shares, will develop or, if developed, that any such market, including for the Common Shares, will be sustained.

Risks Related to the Company's Business and the Cannabis Industry

Reliance on Licence

        The Company's ability to cultivate, store and sell cannabis and cannabis oil in Canada is dependent on maintaining its Licence with Health Canada and licences through its various subsidiaries. Failure to comply with the requirements of the Licence or any subsidiary licence or any failure to maintain its Licence or any subsidiary licence may have a material adverse impact on the Company's business, financial condition and results. There can be no guarantees that Health Canada will extend or renew the Licences as necessary or, if it extended or renewed, that the Licences will be extended or renewed on the same or similar terms. Should Health Canada not extend or renew the Licences or should it renew the Licences on different terms, the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.

License application in respect of Aphria Diamond may not be successful

        There is no guarantee that Health Canada will approve the Aphria Diamond license application in a timely fashion, it at all. The Company's failure to successfully execute the license application (including receiving the Health Canada approvals in a timely fashion, if at all) could adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations, and may result in the Company not meeting anticipate or future demand when it arises.

Company's Expansion Efforts may not be Successful and Company's Operations are Subject to Risk as a Result of Company's Expansion Efforts including Company's International Expansion

        There is no guarantee that the Company's expansion strategy (including receiving the expected Health Canada approvals in a timely fashion if at all) will be completed in the currently proposed form, if at all, nor is there any guarantee that the Company will be able to expand into additional jurisdictions. There is also no guarantee that the Company's intentions to acquire and/or construct additional cannabis production and manufacturing facilities in Canada and in other jurisdictions with federally legal cannabis markets, and to expand the Company's marketing and sales initiatives will be successful. Any such activities will require, among other things, various regulatory approvals, licenses and permits (such as additional licenses from Health Canada under the Cannabis Act, as applicable) and there is no guarantee that all required approvals, licenses and permits will be obtained in a timely fashion or at all. There is also no guarantee that the Company will be able to complete any of the foregoing activities as anticipated or at all.

        The Company's failure to successfully execute its international expansion strategy (including receiving required regulatory approvals, licenses and permits) could adversely affect the Company's business, financial

Table of Contents

condition and results of operations and may result in the Company failing to meet anticipated or future demand for its cannabis products, when and if it arises.

        The Company's expansion into jurisdictions outside of Canada is subject to additional business risks, including new or unexpected risks or could significantly increase the Company's exposure to one or more existing risk factors, including economic instability, changes in laws and regulations, and the effects of competition. In addition, international expansion could subject the Company's business to certain risks relating to fluctuating exchange rates or require a number of up-front expenses, including those associated with obtaining regulatory approvals, as well as additional ongoing expenses, including those associated with infrastructure, staff and regulatory compliance. These factors may limit the Company's ability to successfully expand its operations into such jurisdictions and may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Inherent to the Cannabis Industry

        The Company operates in a highly regulated and rapidly evolving market. Sometimes new risks emerge and management may not be able to predict all of them, or be able to predict how they may cause actual results to be different from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Failure to comply with the requirements of the license(s) or any failure to maintain the license(s) would have a material adverse impact on the business, financial condition and operating results of the Company.

        The industry is subject to extensive controls and regulations, which may significantly affect the financial condition of market participants. The marketability of any product may be affected by numerous factors that are beyond the Company's control and which cannot be predicted, such as changes to government regulations, including those relating to taxes and other government levies that may be imposed. Changes in government levies, including taxes, could reduce the Corporation's earnings and could make future capital investments or the Corporation's operations uneconomic.

Limited Standardized Research on the Effect of Cannabis

        To date, there is limited standardization in the research of the effects of cannabis, and future clinical research studies may lead to conclusions that dispute or conflict with the Company's understanding and belief regarding the medical benefits, viability, safety, efficacy, dosing and social acceptance of cannabis. Research in Canada, the United States and internationally regarding the medical benefits, viability, safety, efficacy and dosing of cannabis or isolated cannabinoids (such as CBD and THC) remains in relatively early stages.

        Future research and clinical trials may draw opposing conclusions to statements in this Prospectus or could reach different or negative conclusions regarding the medical benefits, viability, safety, efficacy, dosing or other facts and perceptions related to cannabis, which could adversely affect social acceptance of cannabis and the demand for the Company's products.

Relative Newness of the Cannabis Industry and Market in Canada

        As a license holder authorized to process cannabis, the Company will be operating its business in a relatively new industry and market, and the Company's success in the cannabis market will depend in part on its ability to attract and retain customers. In addition to being subject to general business risks applicable to a business involving an agricultural product and a regulated consumer product, the Company will need to make significant investments in its business strategy. These investments include the procurement of raw material, extraction equipment, site improvements and research and development projects. The Company expects that competitors will undertake similar investments to compete with it. Competitive conditions, consumer preferences, customer requirements and spending patterns in this industry and market are relatively unknown and may have unique circumstances that differ from other existing industries and markets and cause the Company's future efforts to develop its business to be unsuccessful or to have undesired consequences for it. As a result, the Company may not be successful in its efforts to attract customers or to develop new cannabis products and produce and distribute these cannabis products, or these activities may require significantly more resources than it currently anticipate in order to be successful.

17

Table of Contents

Unfavorable Publicity or Consumer Perception

        The Company believes the cannabis industry is highly dependent upon consumer perception regarding the safety, efficacy and quality of cannabis and related products distributed to such consumers. Consumer perception of the Company's products can be significantly influenced by scientific research or findings, regulatory investigations, litigation, media attention and other publicity regarding the consumption of cannabis products. There can be no assurance that future scientific research, findings, regulatory proceedings, litigation, media attention or other research findings or publicity will be favourable to the cannabis market or any particular product, or consistent with earlier publicity. Future research reports, findings, regulatory proceedings, litigation, media attention or other publicity that are perceived as less favourable than, or that question, earlier research reports, findings or publicity could have a material adverse effect on the demand for the Company's products and the business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows of the Company. The Company's dependence upon consumer perceptions means that adverse scientific research reports, findings, regulatory proceedings, litigation, media attention or other publicity, whether or not accurate or with merit, could have a material adverse effect on the Company, the demand for the Company's products, and the business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows of the Company.

        Further, adverse publicity reports or other media attention regarding the safety, efficacy and quality of cannabis and related products in general, or the Company's products specifically, or associating the consumption of cannabis or related products with illness or other negative effects or events, could have such a material adverse effect. Such adverse publicity reports or other media attention could arise even if the adverse effects associated with such products resulted from consumers' failure to consume such products appropriately or as directed. The increased usage of social media and other web-based tools used to generate, publish and discuss user-generated content and to connect with other users has made it increasingly easier for individuals and groups to communicate and share opinions and views in regard to the Company and its activities, whether true or not. Although the Company believes that it operates in a manner that is respectful to all stakeholders and that it takes care in protecting its image and reputation, it does not ultimately have direct control over how it is perceived by others. Reputational loss may result in decreased investor confidence, increased challenges in developing and maintaining community relations and an impediment to the Company's overall ability to advance its projects, thereby having a material adverse impact on its financial performance, financial condition, cash flows and growth prospects.

Risks Related to Regulation of Cannabis Industry

        Achievement of the Company's business objectives is contingent, in part, upon compliance with regulatory requirements enacted by governmental authorities and obtaining all regulatory approvals, where necessary, for the sale of its products. The Company cannot predict the impact of the compliance regime Health Canada is implementing for the Canadian adult-use and medical cannabis industries under the Cannabis Regulations. Similarly, the Company cannot predict the time required to secure all appropriate regulatory approvals for its products, or the extent of testing and documentation that may be required by governmental authorities. The impact of Health Canada's compliance regime, any delays in obtaining, or failure to obtain regulatory approvals may significantly delay or impact the development of markets, products and sales initiatives and could have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations and financial condition of the Company.

        The Company will incur ongoing costs and obligations related to regulatory compliance, including regulations relating to continuous disclosure and other applicable securities laws. Failure to comply with regulations may result in additional costs for corrective measures, penalties or restrictions on the Company's operations. In addition, changes in regulations, more vigorous enforcement thereof or other unanticipated events could require extensive changes to the Company's operations, increased compliance costs or give rise to material liabilities, which could have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations and financial condition of the Company.

Risks Related to Changes in Laws, Regulations and Guidelines

        The Company's operations are subject to various laws, regulations and guidelines relating to the manufacture, management, packaging/labelling, advertising, sale, transportation, storage and disposal of

18

Table of Contents

adult-use or medical cannabis but also including laws and regulations relating to drugs, controlled substances, health and safety, the conduct of operations and the protection of the environment. Changes to such laws, regulations and guidelines due to matters beyond the control of the Company may cause adverse effects business, financial condition and results of operations of the Company. The Company endeavours to comply with all relevant laws, regulations and guidelines. To the best of the Company's knowledge, the Company is in compliance or in the process of being assessed for compliance with all such laws, regulations and guidelines.

        The Cannabis Act and Cannabis Regulations came into force on October 17, 2018. The Cannabis Act and Cannabis Regulations prohibit testimonials, lifestyle branding and packaging that is appealing to youth. The restrictions on advertising, marketing and the use of logos and brand names could have a material adverse impact on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the Cannabis Act allows for licences to be granted for outdoor cultivation, which may reduce start-up capital required for new entrants in the cannabis industry. It may also ultimately lower prices, as capital expenditure requirements related to outdoor growing are typically much lower than those associated with indoor growing. Such results may also have a material adverse impact on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

        The legislative framework pertaining to the Canadian adult-use cannabis market is uncertain. In addition, the governments of every Canadian province and territory have, to varying degrees, announced regulatory regimes for the distribution and sale of cannabis for adult-use purposes within those jurisdictions. There is no guarantee that provincial legislation regulating the distribution and sale of cannabis for adult-use purposes will be enacted according to all the terms announced by such provinces and territories, or at all, or that any such legislation, if enacted, will create the growth opportunities that the Company currently anticipates. While the impact of any new legislative framework for the regulation of the Canadian adult-use cannabis market is uncertain, any of the foregoing could result in a material adverse effect of the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

        To date, only fresh cannabis, dried cannabis and cannabis oil products are permitted for sale in Canada. Pursuant to the Cannabis Act, certain classes of cannabis products, such as edibles, concentrates and other edibles are currently prohibited from sale, but new regulations under the Cannabis Act will come into force on October 17, 2019 to permit edibles, concentrates and other edibles to be available for sale no earlier than December 2019. While regulations have been released, the impact of these regulatory changes on the business of the Company is unknown, and the proposed regulations may not be implemented at all or, if they are, may change significantly.

        Further, Health Canada may change their administration, interpretation or application of the applicable regulations or their compliance or enforcement procedures at any time. Any such changes could require the Company to revise its ongoing compliance procedures, requiring the Company to incur increased compliance costs and expend additional resources. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to comply or continue to comply with applicable regulations.


INTERESTS OF EXPERTS

STATUTORY RIGHTS OF WITHDRAWAL AND RESCISSION

        Securities legislation in certain of the provinces and territories of Canada provides purchasers with the right to withdraw from an agreement to purchase securities. This right may only be exercised within two business days after receipt or deemed receipt of a prospectus and any amendment, irrespective of the determination at a later date of the purchase price of the securities distributed. In several of the provinces and territories, the securities legislation further provides a purchaser with remedies for rescission or, in some jurisdictions, revisions of the price or damages if the prospectus and any amendment contains a misrepresentation or is not delivered to the purchaser, provided that the remedies for rescission, revisions of the price or damages are exercised by the purchaser within the time limit prescribed by the securities legislation of the purchaser's province or territory. The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser's province or territory for the particulars of these rights or consult with a legal advisor.

        In an offering of convertible, exchangeable or exercisable Securities, original purchasers will have a contractual right of rescission against the Company following the conversion, exchange or exercise of such Securities in the event that this Prospectus, the applicable Prospectus Supplement or any amendment thereto contains a misrepresentation. The contractual right of rescission will entitle such original purchasers to receive, upon surrender of the securities issued upon conversion, exchange or exercise of such Securities, the amount paid for such Securities, provided that (i) the conversion, exchange or exercise takes place within 180 days from the date of the purchase of such Securities under the applicable Prospectus Supplement and (ii) the right of rescission is exercised within 180 days from the date of the purchase of such Securities under the applicable Prospectus Supplement. This contractual right of rescission will be consistent with the statutory right of rescission described under section 217 of the Securities Act (Québec) and is in addition to any other right or remedy available to original purchasers under section 217 of the Securities Act (Québec) or otherwise at law.

        Original purchasers of convertible, exchangeable or exercisable Securities are further cautioned that in an offering of convertible, exchangeable or exercisable Securities, the statutory right of action for damages for a misrepresentation contained in a prospectus is, under the securities legislation of certain provinces and territories, limited to the price at which the convertible, exchangeable or exercisable Security was offered to the public under the prospectus offering. Accordingly, any further payment made at the time of conversion, exchange or exercise of the security may not be recoverable in a statutory action for damages in those provinces and territories, as applicable. The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser's province for the particulars of this right of action for damages or consult with a legal advisor.

    (i)
    the Individual acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Registrant or, as the case may be, to the best interests of the other entity for which the Individual acted as a director or officer or in a similar capacity at the Registrant's request; and

    (ii)
    if the matter is a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, the Registrant shall not indemnify the Individual unless the Individual had reasonable grounds for believing that his or her conduct was lawful.

        The Registrant may advance money to a director, officer, or other Individual in relation to the foregoing matters, but the Individual shall repay the money if the Individual does not fulfill the conditions set out in (i) and (ii) above.

        Further, the Registrant may, with the approval of a court, indemnify an Individual in respect of an action by or on behalf of the Registrant or other entity, or advance moneys as set out above, to obtain a judgment in its favor, to which the Individual is made a party because of the Individual's association with the Registrant or other entity as a director or officer, a former director or officer, an Individual who acts or acted at the Registrant's request as a director or officer, or an Individual acting in a similar capacity, against all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by the Individual in connection with such action, if the Individual fulfills the conditions in (i) and (ii) above. Such Individuals are entitled to indemnification from the Registrant in respect of all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by the Individual in connection with the defense of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding to which the Individual is subject because of the Individual's association with the Registrant or other entity as described above, provided the Individual seeking an indemnity: (A) was not judged by a court or other competent authority to have committed any fault or omitted to do anything that the Individual ought to have done; and (B) fulfills the conditions in (i) and (ii) above.

        The by-laws of the Registrant provide that, subject to the Business Corporations Act (Ontario), the Registrant shall indemnify a director or officer of the Registrant, a former director or officer of the Registrant or another Individual who acts or acted at the Registrant's request as a director or officer of a body corporate of which the Registrant is or was a shareholder or creditor, and the heirs and legal representatives of such person, against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by the Individual in respect of any civil, criminal or administrative, or other proceeding in which the Individual is made a party by reason of being or having been a director or officer of the Registrant or body corporate, if: (i) the Individual acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Registrant and (ii) in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, the person had reasonable grounds for believing that the Individual's conduct was lawful.

        The by-laws of the Registrant provide that the Registrant shall indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by the Business Corporations Act (Ontario), (i) any director or officer of the Registrant; (ii) any former director or officer of the Registrant; (iii) any individual who acts or acted at the Corporation's request as a director or officer, or in a similar capacity, of another entity; and (iv) their respective heirs and legal representatives.

        Directors and officers of the Registrant have entered into indemnity agreements with the Registrant whereby the Registrant has agreed to indemnify and save harmless the directors and officers of the Registrant

(the "Indemnified Party") against all losses, liabilities, claims, costs, disbursements, charges or expenses suffered or incurred by the Indemnified Party as a result or by reason of the Indemnified Party being or having been a director and/or officer of the Registrant or by reason of any action taken by the Indemnified Party in his or her capacity as a director and/or officer of the Registrant, and any amount paid by the Indemnified Party to settle any action or satisfy a judgement, fine or monetary penalty in respect of any proceeding including all legal and other professional fees, costs, expenses and disbursements, all reasonable expenses, fines or other financial penalties in connection with a proceeding, and the full amount of any income taxes the Indemnified Party is required to pay as a consequence of receiving any payment made by the Registrant pursuant to the indemnity agreement.

        The form of indemnity agreement provides that the Registrant has no obligation or liability to indemnify the Indemnified Party in the event that the Indemnified Party's behavior contravenes the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) including where the Indemnified Party (a) failed to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Registrant, or (b) in the case of criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by monetary penalty, the Indemnified Party had reasonable ground for believing that his or her conduct was unlawful.

        Under the indemnity agreement, the Registrant has no obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party if a final decision of a Court of competent jurisdiction determines that such indemnification is prohibited by applicable law.

        The Registrant maintains directors' and officers' liability insurance which insures directors and officers for losses as a result of claims against the directors and officers of the Registrant in their capacity as directors and officers and also reimburses the Registrant for payments made pursuant to the indemnity provisions under the by-laws of the Registrant and the Business Corporations Act (Ontario).

        Under the terms of the indemnity agreement, in the event that there is a change of control transaction or the Registrant enters into any contract, arrangement, amalgamation, merger, takeover bid, tender offer, exchange offer, reorganization, business combination or similar transaction, the surviving entity to the Registrant's business shall fulfill the Registrant's obligations under the indemnity agreement, and if as a result of any transaction the directors' and officers' liability insurance is terminated and not replaced, then the Registrant shall use its best efforts to cause a run off "tail" insurance policy to be purchased for the benefit of the Indemnified Party with substantially the same coverage and for no less than six (6) years following the transaction.

        Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
