ANNUAL AND SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

NOTICE AND ACCESS NOTIFICATION TO SHAREHOLDERS

Baytex Energy Corp. ("Baytex") has chosen to use the notice and access model for delivery of meeting materials to its shareholders. Under notice and access, shareholders still receive a proxy or voting instruction form enabling them to vote at the shareholders' meeting. However, instead of receiving a paper copy of the Information Circular, shareholders receive this notice explaining how to access such materials electronically.

MEETING DATE AND LOCATION

WHERE: Online at: https:// web.lumiagm.com/248158405

The meeting will be held virtually. All shareholders regardless of geographic location and equity ownership are able to attend the meeting. Registered shareholders and duly appointed proxyholders will be able to vote, ask questions and engage with the Chair of the Board and the CEO of the Company. Beneficial shareholders (being shareholders who hold their shares through a broker, investment dealer, bank, trust Company, custodian, nominee or other intermediary) who have not duly appointed themselves as proxyholder will be able to attend as a guest and view the webcast but will not be able to ask questions or vote at the meeting. Shareholders will not be able to attend the meeting in person.
