NOTICE AND ACCESS NOTIFICATION TO SHAREHOLDERS SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS TO BE HELD ON FRIDAY, AUGUST 30, 2024

You are receiving this notification because Sprout AI Inc. (the “ Corporation ”) has opted to use the “notice and access” model for the delivery of its management information circular (the “ Information Circular ”) to the holders (the “ Shareholders ”) of common shares in the capital of the Corporation in respect of its special meeting of Shareholders to be held on Friday, August 30, 2024 (the “ Meeting ”).

Under “notice and access” instead of receiving paper copies of the Information Circular, Shareholders are receiving this notice with information on how to access the Information Circular electronically. Shareholders will also be receiving a proxy or voting instruction form, as applicable, together with this notification to use to vote at the Meeting.
