NOTICE-AND-ACCESS

You are receiving this notification as Aurora is using the notice and access procedures adopted by the Canadian Securities Administrators for electronic delivery of its Notice of Meeting and Information Circular for the Meeting (the “Meeting Materials”) instead of mailing out paper copies. Under this delivery method, companies can, instead of mailing out paper copies, post their meeting materials on a website and send a notification to shareholders with access details. This notification provides details of the date, time and place of the Meeting, including the matters to be voted on, and instructions on how to access an electronic copy or request a paper copy of the Meeting Materials. Accompanying this notice is a form of Proxy or VIF. The Information Circular and other relevant materials are available at: https://www.auroramj.com/investors/corporate-governance/ OR under Aurora’s SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca.

You can obtain a paper copy of the Meeting Materials free of charge by calling Broadridge toll-free at 1-877-907-7643 (in Canada or the U.S.). If you wish to receive a paper copy of the Meeting Materials, they will be sent within three business days of your request, if such requests are made before the Meeting date. To ensure you receive the material in advance of the voting deadline and Meeting date, all requests must be received by us no later than 10 business days before the Meeting to ensure timely receipt. If you do request the current materials, please note that another VIF/Proxy will not be sent; please retain your current one for voting purposes.
