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 general and special meeting of shareholders which will be held on Wednesday, August 31, 2022, at 10:30 a.m. (Eastern time). This year again, the Corporation is holding the Meeting as a virtual-only meeting, which will be conducted via live webcast, where all shareholders regardless of geographic location will have an equal opportunity to participate. The Corporation views the use of technology-enhanced shareholder communications as a method to facilitate individual investor participation, making the Meeting more accessible and engaging for all involved, permitting a broader base of shareholders to participate in the Meeting, which is consistent with the goals of the regulators, stakeholders, and other invested in the corporate governance process. The virtual-only formal for the Meeting will also help mitigate the ongoing health and safety concerns to the community, shareholders, employees and other stakeholders in light of the continuing COVID-19 environment. 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 2022 performance

Once again, continued global challenges and turmoil have brought out the best in our company and our people as we managed the business carefully and delivered a strong financial year while showing outstanding care and commitment to each other, our customers and our communities. Our size, our winning culture and strategy, and the structures that we have put in place, both at the executive management level and from a governance standpoint, served the business well, both in its operational and financial performance. Additionally, a smooth transition to a single class of shares triggered by the sunset clause highlighted our stable financial structures and the ongoing support from our shareholders. With a strong, diversified, and responsible capital structure as well as our healthy balance sheet and solid financial position, we are well-positioned for the future of convenience and mobility. We remain focused on our core strategic initiatives, ready to expand and solidify our global network through organic growth and acquisitions and to drive value for our shareholders. In the year ahead, 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.

Global company

We are immensely proud of the 122,000 people working in our global network comprised of more than 14,000 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 general and special 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,

Shareholders who wish to appoint a proxyholder other than the persons designated by the Corporation on the form of proxy or voting instruction form (including a non-registered shareholder who wishes to appoint themselves as proxyholder) must carefully follow the instructions in the 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, TSX Trust Company, after submitting their form of proxy or voting instruction form.
