NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL AND SPECIAL MEETING OF THE SHAREHOLDERS AND NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY OF MEETING MATERIALS

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the annual general and special meeting of the shareholders (the " Meeting ") of Curaleaf Holdings, Inc. (the " Company ") will be held on September 9, 2021 at 2:00 p.m. (Eastern Time). This year again, given the current COVID-19 pandemic and the restrictions imposed therewith and our commitment to protect the health and safety of the public and of our shareholders, team members (including directors, officers and employees) and other stakeholders, the Meeting will be held in virtual form only via live webcast at https://web.lumiagm.com/200124145.

The items for consideration at the Meeting are as follows:

  • (a) receive and consider the annual audited financial statements of the Company for the financial year ended December 31, 2020 together with the notes thereto and the auditors' report thereon (the " Financial Statements ");

  • (b) fix the number of directors of the Company at nine (9) and elect as directors for the forthcoming year the six (6) nominees proposed by the Company (see page 2 and following of the accompanying management information circular (the " Information Circular "));

  • (c) re-appoint Antares Professional Corporation, Chartered Professional Accountants as auditors of the Company and authorize the board of directors of the Company (the " Board ") to fix the auditors' remuneration and terms of engagement (see page 7 of the Information Circular);

  • (d) consider and, if deemed advisable, to adopt a special resolution (the " Special Resolution ") (the full text of which is reproduced as Schedule "A" of the Information Circular) for the purpose of adopting an amendment to the articles of the Company, having the effect of amending the share capital of the Company (see page 8 and following of the Information Circular); and

  • (e) transact such other business as may properly come before the Meeting or any adjournment(s) thereof.

As a shareholder of the Company (a " Shareholder "), it is very important that you read the Information Circular and other Meeting Materials (as defined herein) carefully. They contain important information with respect to the matters to be considered at the Meeting, on how to vote your shares and to attend and participate at the Meeting.

The record date for the determination of the Shareholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Meeting or any adjournment(s) thereof is July 30, 2021 (the " Record Date "). Shareholders whose names have been entered in the register of Shareholders at the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Meeting or any adjournment(s) thereof. This year again, the Company is holding the Meeting as a completely virtual meeting, which will be conducted via live webcast, where all Shareholders (or their duly appointed proxyholders) regardless of geographic location and equity ownership will have an equal opportunity to participate in the Meeting. Shareholders will not be able to attend the Meeting in person.

Registered Shareholders and duly appointed proxyholders will be able to attend the Meeting online at https://web.lumiagm.com/200124145, where they can participate, vote, or submit questions during the Meeting's live webcast. Non-registered holders of subordinate voting shares (" Non-Registered Holders ") who have not duly appointed themselves as proxyholder will be able to attend the Meeting as a guest but will not be able to participate or vote at the Meeting. If you are a Non-Registered Holder and have received these materials through your broker or through another intermediary, please follow the instructions set out in the voting instruction form or other instructions received from your financial intermediary to ensure that

your subordinate voting shares will be voted at the Meeting by a duly appointed proxyholder or to ensure that you will be able to personally attend, participate and vote at the Meeting.

To be effective, the enclosed proxy or voting instruction must be returned to the Company's registrar and transfer agent, Odyssey Trust Company (" Odyssey ") by: (i) mail using the enclosed return envelope; or (ii) hand delivery to Odyssey at Odyssey Trust Company, 1230, 300 5[th] Ave SW, Calgary, AB, T2P 3C4. Alternatively, you may vote by Internet at https://login.odysseytrust.com/pxlogin and by clicking "Vote". All instructions are listed on the proxy or voting instruction form. Your proxy or voting instruction form must be received in each case no later than 2:00 p.m . (Eastern Time) on September 7, 2021 or, if the Meeting is adjourned, at least 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays in the Province of British Columbia) before the beginning of any adjournment(s) to the Meeting.

A Shareholder who wishes to appoint a person other than the management nominees identified on the form of proxy or voting instruction form, to represent him, her or it at the Meeting may do so by inserting such person's name in the blank space provided in the form of proxy or voting instruction form and following the instructions for submitting such form of proxy or voting instruction form. This must be completed prior to registering such proxyholder, which is an additional step to be completed once you have submitted your form of proxy or voting instruction form. If you wish that a person other than the management nominees identified on the form of proxy or voting instruction form attend and participate at the Meeting as your proxy and vote your shares, including if you are a Non-Registered Holder and wish to appoint yourself as proxyholder to attend, participate and vote at the Meeting, you MUST register such proxyholder after having submitted your form of proxy or voting instruction form identifying such proxyholder. Failure to register the proxyholder will result in the proxyholder not receiving a Username to participate in the Meeting. Without a Username, proxyholders will not be able to attend, participate or vote at the Meeting. To register a proxyholder, Shareholders MUST send an email to [email protected] and provide Odyssey with their proxyholder's contact information, amount of shares appointed, name in which the shares are registered if they are a registered Shareholder, or name of broker where the shares are held if a beneficial Shareholder, so that Odyssey may provide the proxyholder with a Username via email.

- If you are a Non Registered Holder, a voting instruction form, instead of a form of proxy, will be enclosed. You must follow the instructions provided by your intermediary in order to vote your shares. Non-Registered Holders are Shareholders that do not hold their shares of the Company in their own name and whose shares are held through an intermediary.

NOTICE-AND-ACCESS

Notice is also hereby given that the Company has decided to use the notice-and-access method to deliver the Information Circular, the Financial Statements and related management's discussion and analysis, and other meeting materials of the Meeting (the " Meeting Materials ") to both Non-Registered Holders and registered Shareholders. The notice-and-access mechanism allows the Company to deliver the Meeting Materials over the Internet in accordance with the notice-and-access rules adopted by the Canadian Securities Administrators under National Instrument 54-101 - Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer . Under the notice-and-access system, registered Shareholders will receive a form of proxy and Non-Registered Holders will receive a voting instruction form enabling them to vote at the Meeting. However, instead of a paper copy of the Meeting Materials, Shareholders will receive a notification with information on how they may access such materials electronically. The use of this alternative means of delivery is more environmentally friendly as it will help reduce paper use and will also reduce the printing and mailing costs of the Meeting Materials. Shareholders are reminded to review carefully the Meeting Materials prior to voting.
