ANNUAL AND SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
NOTICE AND ACCESS NOTIFICATION TO SHAREHOLDERS
You are receiving this notification as Bellatrix Exploration Ltd. (“Bellatrix”) has decided to use the notice and access model for delivery of meeting materials to its beneficial shareholders. Under notice and access, beneficial shareholders still receive a voting instruction form enabling them to vote at the annual and special meeting of Bellatrix’s shareholders to be held on May 9, 2018 (the “Meeting”). However, instead of a paper copy of the management information circular of Bellatrix dated March 26, 2018 (the “Information Circular”), beneficial 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.
