Who has the right to receive notice and vote
You are entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the meeting if you are a shareholder of record at the close of business on March 29, 2021.
Virtual only format
Again this year, as a result of COVID-19 and to mitigate risks to the health and safety of our communities, shareholders, employees and other stakeholders, we will hold our meeting in a virtual only format, which will be conducted via live webcast. Shareholders will have an equal opportunity to participate at the meeting online regardless of their geographic location. Shareholders will not be able to physically attend the meeting.
Registered shareholders and duly appointed proxyholders will be able to attend, submit questions and vote at the meeting online at https://web.lumiagm.com/430315424 (password: nutrien2021). Non-registered (beneficial) shareholders who have not duly appointed themselves as proxyholder will be able to attend the meeting as guests, but guests will not be able to vote or submit questions at the meeting.
Your vote is important
The accompanying management proxy circular includes important information about the meeting and the voting process. Please read it carefully and remember to vote.
To be used at the meeting, completed proxies must be returned to Computershare Investor Services Inc. (Computershare), Attention: Proxy Department, 100 University Avenue, 8th Floor, Toronto, Ontario M5J 2Y1 or via internet at www.investorvote.com, no later than 5:30 p.m. (Eastern time) on May 13, 2021 or, if the meeting is adjourned or postponed, by not less than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the time and date of the adjourned or postponed meeting. The time limit for the deposit of proxies may be waived or extended by the chair of the meeting at his or her discretion, without notice, and the chair of the meeting is under no obligation to accept or reject any particular late proxy. |

Non-registered (beneficial) shareholders should follow the instructions on the voting instruction form or other form of proxy provided by their intermediaries with respect to the procedures to be followed for voting.
Shareholders who wish to appoint a third party as their proxyholder (i.e., persons other than the persons designated by Nutrien on the form of proxy or identified on their voting instruction form (including a non-registered shareholder who wishes to appoint themselves as proxyholder)) must carefully follow the instructions in the management proxy circular and on their form of proxy or voting instruction form. These instructions include the additional step of registering such proxyholder with our transfer agent, Computershare, after submitting their form of proxy or voting instruction form. Failure to register the proxyholder will result in the proxyholder not receiving a control number that will act as their online username and sign-in credentials and is required for them to vote at the meeting and, consequently, only being able to attend the meeting online as a guest. Non-registered shareholders located in the United States must also provide Computershare with a duly completed legal proxy if they wish to vote at the meeting or appoint a third party as their proxyholder.
