The principal business to be transacted at the annual meeting will be (1) the election of directors and (2) the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP, Chartered Professional Accountants, as Atlas's independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021.
The board of directors unanimously recommends that shareholders vote ''FOR'' the election of the nominated directors and ''FOR'' the ratification of KPMG LLP, Chartered Professional Accountants, as our independent auditors.

Thank you for your ongoing investment in, and support of, Atlas as we continue to execute our enterprise strategy for long-term profitable growth and shareholder value.
Sincerely,

Proxy Materials | Atlas is furnishing proxy materials to its shareholders through the |
Internet as permitted under the rules of the U.S. Securities and | |
Exchange Commission. Under these rules, many of Atlas's shareholders | |
will receive a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials instead | |
of a paper copy of the Notice of 2021 Annual Meeting of Shareholders | |
and proxy statement and proxy card. We believe this process gives us | |
the opportunity to serve you more efficiently by making the proxy |
materials available quickly online and reducing costs associated with printing and postage. Shareholders who do not receive a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials will receive a paper copy of the proxy materials by mail.
