ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF SHARHOLDERS

NOTICE AND ACCESS NOTIFICATION TO SHAREHOLDERS

You are receiving this notification as AutoCanada Inc. ("AutoCanada" or the "Company") has decided to use the notice and access model for delivery of meeting materials to its shareholders for its annual general meeting scheduled to be held on May 14, 2026 (the "Meeting"). Under notice and access, shareholders still receive a voting instruction form enabling them to vote at the Meeting. However, instead of a paper copy of the Management Information Circular for the Meeting (the "Information Circular"), shareholders receive this notice with information on how they may access such document electronically. The use of this alternative means of delivery is more environmentally friendly as it will help reduce paper use and also will reduce the cost of printing and mailing materials to shareholders.

MEETING DATE AND LOCATION

WHEN: Thursday, May 14, 2026, 1:00 p.m. (Eastern Time)

WHERE: Online at https://meetnow.global/M4JRWFT

SHAREHOLDERS WILL BE ASKED TO CONSIDER AND VOTE ON THE FOLLOWING MATTERS:

  1. Election of Directors: shareholders will be asked to elect directors for the ensuing year. Information respecting the election of directors may be found in the Information Circular under "Election of Directors".
  2. Appointment of Auditor: shareholders will be asked to re-appoint PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Company's auditor for the ensuing year and authorize the Company's directors to fix their remuneration. Information respecting the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP may be found in the Information Circular under "Appointment of Independent Auditor".
  3. Other Business: shareholders may be asked to consider other items of business that may be properly brought before the meeting.

The details of the above matters are set out in the Information Circular under the heading "Business of the Meeting". SHAREHOLDERS ARE REMINDED TO VIEW THE INFORMATION CIRCULAR PRIOR TO VOTING.

WEBSITES WHERE MEETING MATERIALS ARE POSTED
