(the “Corporation”), notice is hereby given that the Corporation will use the Canadian Securities Administrators’ “notice-and-access” delivery model to deliver proxy-related materials, including the Corporation’s management information circular (the “Circular”)  and the Corporation’s 2023 annual report containing the Corporation’s audited consolidated financial statements and the auditor’s report thereon and management’s discussion and analysis for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Annual Report” and, together with the Circular, the “Meeting Materials”) to Shareholders. Under notice-and-access, the Corporation is permitted, as an alternative to sending paper copies of the Meeting Materials to Shareholders, to provide to Shareholders of record as of April 8, 2024, the record date for the Meeting, this notice containing, among other things, information regarding how to access the Meeting Materials online as well as how to obtain paper copies  of the Meeting Materials free of charge. The Corporation anticipates that notice-and-access will directly benefit the Corporation through a substantial reduction in both postage and printing costs and will also promote environmental responsibility by decreasing the large volume of paper documents generated by printing proxy-related materials.  A form of proxy (if you are a registered Shareholder) or a voting instruction form (if you are a non-registered Shareholder) is included with this notice along with instructions on how to vote.  Notice to shareholders of Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. regarding notice-and-access  The Meeting will be held at the Royal Bank Plaza, North Tower, 200 Bay Street, Suite 1600, Toronto, ON M5J 2J3 on June 4, 2024  commencing at 1:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) for the following purposes:  The Circular provides additional information relating to the matters to be dealt with at the Meeting.
