About your voting materials

Your intermediary sent you this circular and a proxy or voting instruction form unless you told them not to send you voting information. If we sent you these materials directly, your intermediary gave us your name, address and information about your shareholdings in accordance with securities regulatory requirements. By choosing to send these materials to you directly, we have assumed responsibility for delivering them to you and for following your voting instructions.

NOTICE AND ACCESS

We have elected to use the notice-and-access provisions under National Instrument 54-101. This mechanism allows Exco to deliver proxy-related materials to all shareholders by posting the materials on our transfer agent's website rather than delivering the materials by mail. The use of the notice-and-access provisions reduces paper use and mailing costs. Shareholders can access proxy-related material from the transfer agent's website at https://docs.tsxtrust.com/2086 and under Exco's SEDAR prole at www.sedar.com. A paper copy can also be obtained from Exco.

We will not use procedures known as "stratication" in relation to the use of Notice-and-Access provisions. Stratication occurs when a reporting issuer using the Notice-and-Access provisions provides a paper copy of the information circular to some shareholders with the notice package. In relation to the meeting, all shareholders will receive the required documentation under the Notice-and-Access provisions, which will not include a paper copy of the circular.

The Notice of Meeting provides basic information about the meeting and the matters to be voted on, explains how a shareholder can obtain a paper copy of this information circular and any related nancial statements and management discussion & analysis, and explains the Notice-and-Access process. The Notice of Meeting has been delivered to shareholders by us, along with the form of proxy or voting information form.

We will be delivering proxy-related materials to non-objecting benecial shareholders directly. Exco will pay for delivery of materials to objecting benecial shareholders and as a result they will receive the meeting materials.

Any shareholder who wishes to receive a paper copy of this circular must contact our transfer agent, TSX Trust Company, Proxy Department, 100 Adelaide Street West, Suite 301, Toronto, Ontario M5H 4H1, fax number (416) 595 - 9593. Shareholders may call 1 - 866 - 600 - 5869 or email at tsxtis@tmx.com. In order to ensure that a paper copy of this circular can be delivered to a requesting shareholder in time for such shareholder to review the circular and return a proxy or voter instruction form prior to the proxy deadline, it is strongly suggested that shareholders ensure that its request is received by no later than January 16, 2023.
