MONTRÉAL, April 27, 2020 /CNW
Telbec/ - Quebecor Inc. (TSX: QBR.A) (TSX: QBR.B)
announces that, as set out in the notice of meeting sent to
shareholders, the 2020 annual general meeting of its shareholders
(the "Meeting") will be held on Thursday, May 14, 2020 at 9:30 a.m. (EDT).
Due to restrictions implemented by the federal and Québec
governments in response to the COVID-19 outbreak and out of concern
for the wellbeing of all participants, the Meeting will be held
exclusively by electronic means via live video webcast, and
shareholders will, sadly and exceptionally, not be able to
physically attend the Meeting.
Except for the amended Notice of the Meeting and Record Date
filed on SEDAR to reflect the changes to the format of the Meeting,
the previously distributed Management Information Circular dated
March 25, 2020 (the "Circular")
and accompanying proxy or voting instruction form will not be
updated to reflect this change.
Voting in advance of the Meeting
It is strongly advised that registered shareholders vote in
advance of the Meeting using one of the methods described in the
proxy form and non-registered shareholders using one of the methods
described in the voting instruction form accompanying the
Circular.
Participating and voting during the Meeting
Registered shareholders and duly appointed proxyholders can vote
at the appropriate times during the Meeting as follow:
- Log in online at https://web.lumiagm.com/171616954. We
recommend that you log in at least 30 minutes before the Meeting
starts.
- If you or your duly appointed proxyholder have a control
number, click "I have a control number" and then enter the control
number (see below) and password "quebecor2020" (case
sensitive).
OR
- If you do not have a control number, click "guest" and then
complete the online form. Guests, including non-registered
shareholders who have not appointed themselves as proxyholder, will
not be able to vote or ask questions at the Meeting.
For registered shareholders, the control number is located on
the proxy form.
If you appoint a proxyholder other than Quebecor's three
proxyholders, YOU MUST return your proxy form by mail, fax,
Internet or email and have the appointee call AST Trust Company
(Canada) at 1-866-751-6315 (toll
free in Canada and the United States) or 212-235-5754 (other
countries) by 9:30 a.m. (EDT) on
May 12, 2020, so that AST may provide
the appointee with a control number via email. This control number
will allow your appointee to log in to and vote at the Meeting.
Without a control number, your proxyholder will only be able to log
in to the Meeting as a guest and will not be able to vote.
Non-registered shareholders (i.e. shareholders that hold shares
via a bank, trust corporation, securities broker or other
intermediary) that want to vote at the virtual meeting, or appoint
a third party to do so, must appoint themselves, or the third
party, as proxyholder by carefully following the instructions in
the Circular and the voting instruction form, and must follow the
procedure described above to obtain a control number.
If you attend the Meeting online, it is important that you be
connected to the internet at all times during the Meeting in order
to be able to participate and vote at the appropriate times.
Quebecor believes that the ability to participate in the Meeting
in a meaningful way remains important despite the decision to hold
this year's Meeting by electronic means. Shareholders and
proxyholders with a control number will have substantially the same
opportunity to submit questions on matters of business at the
Meeting as in past years when the annual meeting was held in
person.
Those encountering any technical difficulties during the login
process or during the Meeting should call the following technical
support number: 1-800-387-0825.

All documents relevant to this Meeting will be available on
Quebecor's website, including the Circular, the 2019 Activity
