This year again, as a precautionary measure to proactively address the public health impact of coronavirus disease (COVID-19), mitigate health and safety risks to the Corporation's shareholders, employees and other stakeholders, and abide by government guidelines limiting indoor public events, the Corporation will hold a virtual-only Meeting via live webcast. Shareholders will have an equal opportunity to participate in the Meeting online, regardless of geographic location, as well as to ask questions and vote on certain topics. Nonregistered (or beneficial) shareholders who have not duly appointed themselves as proxyholder will be able to participate in the meeting as guests, but guests will not be able to vote or speak at the meeting. Shareholders will not be able to attend the Meeting physically. A summary of the information shareholders and proxyholders will need to attend the Meeting online is provided in the management proxy circular attached to this Notice of Meeting.

If you are a registered Shareholder or you have already given the Corporation instructions to send you printed documents, your management proxy circular is attached to this Notice of Meeting.

If you are a beneficial Shareholder, we are making the management information circular available online instead of mailing it to you, according to a set of rules developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators called Notice- and-access.Notice-and-access is a set of rules that allows issuers to post electronic versions of proxy-related materials online, via SEDAR (www.sedar.com) and one other website, rather than mailing paper copies of such materials to Shareholders. Under notice-and-access, Shareholders still receive a proxy form or voting instruction form enabling them to vote at the Meeting. However, instead of paper copies of the meeting materials, Shareholders receive this notice which contains information on how they may access the meeting materials online and how to request paper copies of such documents.

You can download the circular and other meeting materials at https://www.lanticrogers.com/en/investors or on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Shareholders are reminded to review the Circular and other proxy-related materials prior to voting.

If you would prefer to receive a paper copy of the circular, please call the Corporation at the number in the box below or send the Corporation an email, and it will be mailed to you at no cost. Note that the Corporation will not mail the proxy form or voting instruction form, so please keep the one you received previously.

We need to receive your request no later than 10 business days before the Meeting, if you want to receive the management information circular before the Meeting. After the Meeting, please call 1-844-913-4350to ask for a printed copy.
