state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or

qualification under the securities laws of such state or jurisdiction. The securities discussed in this

Presentation have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the

“Securities Act”), and are being offered only to qualified institutional buyers as defined in Rule 144A

This Presentation about Aphria Inc.’s (“Aphria”) activities current as of April 15, 2019. It is information

in a summary form and does not purport to be complete. It is not intended to be relied upon as advice

to investors or potential investors and does not take into account the investment objectives, financial

situation or needs of any particular investor. These should be considered, with or without professional

advice, when deciding if an investment is appropriate.

The information contained in this Presentation is derived solely from management of Aphria and

otherwise publicly available information concerning Aphria and does not purport to be all-inclusive or

to contain all the information that an investor may desire to have in evaluating whether or not to make

an investment in Aphria. The information has not been independently verified and is subject to

material updating, revision and further amendment, and is qualified entirely by reference to Aphria’s

publicly disclosed information.

No representation or warranty, express or implied, is made or given by or on behalf of Aphria or any of

its affiliates, directors, officers or employees as to the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the

information or opinions contained in this Presentation and no responsibility or liability is accepted by

representations must not be relied upon as having been so authorized. The information and opinions

contained in this Presentation are provided as at the date of this Presentation. The contents of this

Presentation are not to be construed as legal, financial or tax advice. Each prospective investor should

contact his, her or its own legal adviser, independent financial adviser or tax adviser for legal, financial

or tax advice.

Certain statements in this Presentation may constitute forward-looking information, including future-

oriented financial information and financial outlooks, within the meaning of applicable securities laws.

Forward-looking information may relate to Aphria’s future outlook and anticipated events or results and

may include statements regarding Aphria’s financial results, future financial position, expected growth

of cash flows, business strategy, budgets, projected costs, projected capital expenditures, taxes,

plans, objectives, potential synergies, industry trends and growth opportunities.

Often but not always, forward-looking information can be identified by the use of words such as

“anticipate”, “believe”, “expect”, “project”, “estimate”, “likely”, “intend”, “should”, “could”, “may”, “might”,

“target”, “plan” and other similar expressions or variations (including negative variations) of such words

and phrases.

Forward-looking information contained in this Presentation is based on certain assumptions regarding

expected growth, results of operations, performance, industry trends and growth opportunities. While

management considers these assumptions to be reasonable, based on information available, they

may prove to be incorrect. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks,

uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of

Aphria to be materially different from any future lts, performance or achievements expressed or

implied by the forward-looking statements.

These risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to risks associated with general

economic conditions; adverse industry events; marketing costs; loss of markets; future legislative and

regulatory developments involving cannabis; inability to access sufficient capital from internal and

external sources, and/or inability to access sufficient capital on favourable terms; the cannabis industry

in Canada generally, income tax and regulatory matters; the ability of Aphria to implement its

business strategies; competition; crop failure; currency and interest rate fluctuations, and the other

risks discussed under the heading “Industry trends and risks” in Aphria’s Management’s Discussion &

Analysis dated April 15, 2019. The foregoing factors are not intended to be exhaustive.

Although Aphria has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or

results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other

factors that cause actions, events or results to differ from those anticipated, estimated or intended.

Forward-looking statements contained herein are made as of the date hereof and Aphria and its

directors, officers and employees disclaim any obligation to update any forward-looking statements,

whether as a result of new information, future events or results or otherwise. There can be no

assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future

events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, you should not

place undue reliance on forward-looking statements due to the inherent uncertainty therein. All

forward-looking information is expressly qualified in its entirety by this cautionary statement.

Forward-looking information and other information contained herein concerning management’s

general expectations concerning the marijuana industry are based on estimates prepared by

management using data from publicly available industry sources as well as from market research and

industry analysis and on assumptions based on data and knowledge of this industry which

management believes to be reasonable. However, this data is inherently imprecise, although generally

indicative of relative market positions, market shares and performance characteristics. While

management is not aware of any misstatements regarding any industry data presented herein,

industry data is subject to change based on various factors.

This Presentation may not be reproduced, further distributed or published in whole or in part by any

other person. Neither this Presentation nor any copy of it may be taken or transmitted into or

distributed in any other jurisdiction which prohibits the same except in compliance with applicable

laws. Any failure to comply with this restriction may constitute a violation of applicable securities law.
