Dear shareholders

On behalf of the Board of Directors and management of the Corporation, we are pleased to invite you to Alimentation Couche- Tard Inc.'s annual meeting of shareholders which will be held on Thursday, September 7, 2023, at 10:30 a.m. (EDT).

This year again, our meeting will be held by live webcast to enable equal opportunity for all our shareholders to participate, vote and submit questions regardless of their geographic location. Based on past practice, most of our shareholders vote in advance of the Meeting by proxy using the various available voting channels and these voting channels will continue to be available. We encourage shareholders to continue to vote in advance by proxy.

Fiscal 2023

This 2023 fiscal year marked the achievement of our five-year "Double Again" strategic plan. While three of the past five years of our "Double Again" strategic plan have been during the most turbulent of times, with a global pandemic and extraordinary geopolitical and economic conditions, we kept our strategic focus and did not waver from our key growth pillars. We remained focused on delivering strong, consistent value to our customers and maintaining cost discipline across our operations. At the end of our five- year strategy, we embarked on long-awaited growth with acquisitions that bring us to new customers in the U.S., Canada and Europe and added categories that serve our mobility customers in new ways. Once again, we are so proud of all our team members for their commitment to the business, our customers, and our communities during yet another year of profound economic and global challenges.

In the year ahead, as we will start the next chapter of our strategic journey while global inflationary conditions are persisting, we have committed to a strategy anchored in our ambition to deliver value across our financial equation over the next five years. Our award-winning, engaged culture will continue to be guided by the values we live by: One Team, doing the right thing, taking ownership and playing to win as we will remain disciplined in our approach and committed to our vision of becoming the global preferred destination for convenience and mobility.

Board Succession

This year marks the departure of Mr. Jacques D'Amours, a co-founder of the Corporation, from our Board of Directors. We could not be more grateful for his immense contribution to the growth, culture and overall success of the Corporation over the span of his 34- year career and tenure as corporate director since 2014. As part of our Board Succession program and to ensure the transition of our founder's culture, we are pleased to welcome Mr. D'Amours' daughter, Ms. Marie-Ève D'Amours, as nominee to the Board of Directors this year.

Global company

We are immensely proud of the 128,000 people working in our global network comprised of more than 14,400 stores around the world. Their dedication, hard work and entrepreneurial spirit contributed to the Corporation's strong financial performance and set the stage for further success. We also wish to express our gratitude to our shareholders for their unwavering support and continued interest.

Your vote is important

Detailed instructions about how to participate at our Meeting and a description of the items of business to be considered at the Meeting can be found in the notice of annual meeting of shareholders and the accompanying management information circular. We invite you please to take some time to read these documents before you vote your shares as they discuss many important topics.

We look forward to engaging with you at our Meeting.

Sincerely,

These instructions include the additional step of registering such proxyholder with our transfer agent, TSX Trust Company, 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 sign-in credentials and is required for them to vote at the Meeting and, consequently, will only be able to attend the Meeting online as a guest.

We have enclosed a proxy form or voting information form with the notice of meeting. If you cannot attend the Meeting, please sign and return the form following the instructions on page 5 of the Circular.
