Exhibit 99.4

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. This is more environmentally friendly as it reduces paper use and the cost to shareholders of printing and mailing.
