Exhibit 99.3
VERMILION ENERGY INC.
ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
NOTICE AND ACCESS NOTIFICATION TO SHAREHOLDERS
You are receiving this notification because Vermilion Energy Inc. (“Vermilion”) is using the notice and access (“N&A”) procedures to deliver materials to beneficial shareholders for our annual meeting on April 26, 2018 (the “Meeting”). Under N&A, shareholders will still receive a paper copy of the proxy, or voting instruction form (“VIF”), enabling them to vote at the Meeting. Instead of receiving a paper copy of the 2018 Proxy Statement and Information Circular (“Information Circular”), beneficial shareholders will be notified on how to access materials electronically. The electronic delivery of materials is more environmentally friendly and also reduces printing and mailing costs.
