NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that an annual general meeting (the "Meeting") of the holders ("Shareholders") of Common Shares of The Tinley Beverage Company Inc. ("Tinley" or the "Corporation") will be held at Vantage Venues, 150 King Street West, 27th Floor, Toronto, Ontario M5H 1J9, Toronto, Ontario on Monday, March 2, 2020, at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time), for the following purposes:

- to re-appoint auditors and to authorize the directors to fix the auditors' remuneration; and
- to transact such other business as may properly come before the Meeting or any adjournment thereof.
The nature of the business to be transacted at the Meeting is described in further detail in the Information Circular under the section "Matters to be Acted Upon" and at www.capitaltransferagency.ca The record date for the determination of Shareholders entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting is January 17, 2020 (the "Record Date").

Notice-and-Access
The Corporation is utilizing the notice-and-access mechanism (the "Notice-and-Access Provisions") under National Instrument 54-101 – Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer and National Instrument 51-102 – Continuous Disclosure Obligations, for distribution of Meeting materials to registered and beneficial Shareholders.
Website Where Meeting Materials are Posted
The Notice-and-Access Provisions allow reporting issuers to post electronic versions of proxy-related materials, such as the Information Circular and annual financial statements, ("Proxy-Related Materials") on-line, via the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval ("SEDAR") and one other website, rather than mailing paper copies of such materials to Shareholders. Electronic copies of the Information Circular, financial statements of the Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2018 ("Financial Statements") and management's discussion and analysis of the Corporation's results of operations and financial condition for 2018 ("MD&A") may be found on the Corporation's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com and also on the corporation's transfer agent Capital Transfer Agency ("Capital Transfer") website at www.capitaltransferagency.ca. The Corporation will not use procedures known as "stratification" in relation to the use of Notice-and-Access Provisions. Stratification occurs when a reporting issuer using the Notice-and-Access Provisions provides a paper copy of the Information Circular to some Shareholders with this notice package. In relation to the Meeting, all Shareholders will receive the required documentation under the Notice-and-Access Provisions, which will not include a paper copy of the Information Circular nor the Financial Statements.
Obtaining Paper Copies of Materials
The Corporation anticipates that using the Notice-and-Access Provisions for delivery to all Shareholders will directly benefit the Corporation through a substantial reduction in both postage and material costs, and also promote environmental responsibility by decreasing the large volume of paper documents generated by printing proxy-related materials. Shareholders with questions about notice-and-access can call the Corporation's transfer agent, Capital Transfer, toll-free at 1-844-495-4482. Shareholders may also obtain paper copies of the Proxy Related Materials free of charge by contacting Capital Transfer toll-free at 1-844-495-4482. or upon request to the Corporation's Corporate Secretary.
A request for paper copies which are required in advance of the Meeting should be sent so that they are received by the Corporation or Capital Transfer as applicable, by Wednesday, November 28, 2018 in order to allow sufficient time for Shareholders to receive the paper copies and to return their proxies or voting instruction forms to intermediaries before February 27, 2020 at 10:00 a.m. local time, being the date that is not later than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays in the City of Toronto, Ontario) prior to the time set for the Meeting or any adjournments or postponements thereof.
