NOTICE-AND-ACCESS NOTIFICATION for the Annual General and Special Meeting of the Holders of Common Shares to be held on Wednesday, September 9, 2020

You are receiving this notification as PetroTal Corp. (the " Corporation ") is using the notice-and-access model for delivery of meeting materials to its shareholders. Under notice-and-access, shareholders still receive a proxy or voting instruction form enabling them to vote at the shareholders' meeting. However, instead of a paper copy of the management information circular dated July 29, 2020 (the " Circular "), shareholders receive this notice 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 also will reduce the cost of printing and mailing materials to shareholders.
