ANNUAL AND SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS NOTICE AND ACCESS NOTIFICATION TO SHAREHOLDERS

You are receiving this notification as Whitecap Resources Inc. (" Whitecap ") has decided to use 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 notice of meeting and information circular-proxy statement (" Information Circular ") and Whitecap's financial statements and related management's discussion and analysis for its most recently completed financial year end (" Financial Information "), 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 will also reduce the cost of printing and mailing materials to shareholders.
