Exhibit 99.4

ANNUAL AND SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

NOTICE AND ACCESS NOTIFICATION TO SHAREHOLDERS

You are receiving this notification as Baytex Energy Corp. ("Baytex") has decided 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 a paper copy of the Information Circular, shareholders receive this notice with information on how they may access such materials electronically. The use of this alternative means of delivery is more environmentally friendly as it will help reduce paper use and also will reduce the cost of printing and mailing materials to shareholders.

MEETING DATE AND LOCATION



WHEN:	Thursday, May 15, 2014 at 3:00 p.m. (Calgary time)
WHERE:	Devonian Room Calgary Petroleum Club 319 – 5th Avenue S.W. Calgary, Alberta T2P 0L5

Information respecting the appointment of Deloitte LLP may be found in the Information Circular under "Appointment of Auditors".

Say on Pay: Shareholders will be asked to approve an advisory (non-binding) resolution regarding Baytex's approach to executive compensation, which is more fully described in the Information Circular under "Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation".

Advance Notice By-law: Shareholders will be asked to approve a by-law respecting the provision of advance notice for the nomination of directors, which is more fully described in the Information Circular under "Approval of Advance Notice By-law".

Other Business: Shareholders may be asked to consider other items of business that may be properly brought before the meeting. Information respecting the use of discretionary authority to vote on any such other business may be found in the Information Circular under "Other Matters".
