Under the notice-and-access procedures, instead of receiving paper copies of the Proxy Materials, shareholders receive a copy of this notice of 2024 annual meeting of shareholders and notice of availability of proxy materials (the “ Notice of Meeting ”) and a voting instruction form or a form of proxy. The use of notice and access allows for faster access to the Proxy Materials, contributes to the protection of the environment, is consistent with our environmental policy (the “ Environmental Policy ”), and helps reduce printing and postage costs. Our Environmental Policy is available at www.saputo.com .

The Proxy Materials will be available online at www.saputo.com/en/investors/shareholder-reports/2024 and on
