Letter from the Chair of the Board of Directors and

April 25, 2024

Dear Shareholders:

On behalf of the Board of Directors, the management, and all employees of BRP Inc. ("BRP"), I am pleased to inform you that our annual meeting of shareholders will be held on May 31, 2024, at 11:00 a.m. (Eastern time) in a virtual-only format. BRP believes that the use of technology-enhanced shareholder communications makes the meeting more accessible and engaging for all involved by permitting a broader base of shareholders to participate in the meeting and maximize shareholder attendance, which is consistent with the goals of regulators, stakeholders, and others invested in the corporate governance process.

In Fiscal 2024, we delivered solid financial results despite a challenging macroeconomic environment, with revenues reaching a record $10.4 billion. Our performance was driven by good retail momentum that led to further market share gains in the North American Powersports industry, reflecting the quality and diversity of our line-ups. In the second half of the year, we have observed softening consumer demand like the rest of the industry. As a result, we have proactively adjusted production and deliveries to manage network inventory and protect our dealer value proposition. We also combined the powersports and marine groups under one leadership to ensure stronger alignment and focus, create synergies, and leverage functional expertise from both businesses. To sustain our leadership, we will keep positioning BRP for long-term success by investing in development and introducing market-shaping products such as the new mid cc Outlander ATV platform introduced this year, which was BRP's most important launch of the past ten years.

Last December, we celebrated our 20th anniversary as a standalone company. Over this period, we became the leading OEM in the industry, and our manufacturing footprint has grown from 7 to 14 sites and to nearly 3,000 dealers that sell BRP's products in 130 countries. Today, one out of every three powersports product sold in the world carries BRP's logo. I am very proud of this lasting success which reflects the relentless work and dedication of our employees, the strong support of our distributors, dealers and suppliers and the loyalty of our customers. I thank them all for making BRP the leader in the industry.

The enclosed notice of the annual meeting of shareholders and management proxy circular provide information on all matters to be acted upon by the shareholders, including information on directors nominated for election, the appointment of the Company's independent auditor and the Company's approach to executive compensation. The management proxy circular also provides information on our corporate governance practices.

For more information, please contact Investor Relations by e-mail at ir@brp.com.

Your vote and participation are very important to us. As holders of our shares, please take the time to review the management proxy circular and provide your vote on the business items of the meeting. Although it will be possible to vote your shares during the virtual meeting, we encourage you to vote your shares in advance of the meeting via the Internet, by phone or by signing, dating and returning the proxy form or voting instruction form which were made available to you, and by following the instructions provided in the management proxy circular.

In closing, we thank you for your support and we look forward to your participation at our 2024 annual meeting of shareholders and to continuing to report on our progress.

Sincerely,

José Boisjoli

Chair of the Board of Directors, President and Chief Executive Officer

BRP INC.

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the annual meeting (the "Meeting") of the holders of subordinate voting shares (the "Subordinate Voting Shares") and multiple voting shares (the "Multiple Voting Shares" and, together with the Subordinate Voting Shares, the "Shares") of BRP Inc. (the "Company") will be held at 11:00 a.m. (Eastern time) on May 31, 2024, via live webcast, to consider and take action on the following matters:

  1. to receive the audited annual consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2024, together with the notes thereto and the report issued by an independent registered public accounting firm (the "Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm") thereon (see page 20 of the attached management proxy circular dated April 25, 2024 (the "Circular"));
  2. to elect the 12 directors named in the Circular who will serve until the next annual meeting of shareholders or until their successors are elected or appointed (see page 20 of the Circular);
  3. to appoint the independent auditor of the Company (see page 34 of the Circular);
  4. to consider an advisory non-binding resolution on the Company's approach to executive compensation, as more particularly described in the Circular (see page 36 of the Circular); and
  5. to transact such other businesses as may properly be brought before the Meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof.

The Company is holding the Meeting as a completely virtual meeting, which will be conducted via live webcast, where all shareholders regardless of geographic location and equity ownership will have an equal opportunity to participate in order to maximize shareholder attendance. Shareholders will not be able to attend the Meeting in person, but they may attend by conference call, in which case they may not participate nor vote. Registered shareholders and validly appointed proxyholders will be able to attend, participate and vote at the Meeting online athttps://web.lumiagm.com/489499147. Non-registeredshareholders (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 the Meeting only as guests. Guests will be able to listen to the Meeting but will not be able to vote or ask questions.

Registered shareholders and validly appointed proxyholders will also be entitled to submit questions to the Company in advance of the Meeting by e-mail at BRPAGA@brp.com, and during the Meeting through the platform available at https://web.lumiagm.com/489499147, which questions will, subject to certain verifications by the Company, be addressed at the Meeting. Questions provided in advance by e-mail must be provided by no later than 11:00 a.m. (Eastern time) on May 29, 2024, or if the Meeting is postponed or adjourned, by no later than 48 hours prior to the time of such postponed or adjourned meeting (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays).

Following the Meeting, the webcast of the Meeting will also be accessible on the Company's website at www.brp.comuntil next year's annual meeting of shareholders.

The Company is using the notice-and-access procedures permitted by Canadian securities laws for the delivery of the Circular, the audited annual consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2024, together with the notes thereto, the independent auditor's report thereon and the related management's discussion and analysis, and other related materials of the Meeting (the "Proxy Materials") to both its registered and non-registered shareholders. Under the notice-and- access procedures, instead of receiving paper copies of the Proxy Materials, shareholders will receive a notice of availability of proxy materials (the "Notice-and-AccessLetter") (which provides information on how to access copies of the Proxy Materials, how to request a paper copy of the Proxy Materials and details about the Meeting). The Notice-and-Access Letter and voting instruction form or form of proxy have been sent to both registered and non-registered shareholders. Notice-and-access substantially reduces the Company's printing and mailing costs and is more environmentally friendly as it reduces paper and energy consumption.

As a shareholder of the Company, it is very important that you read the Circular and other Proxy Materials carefully. The Circular, which may be accessed on the Company's website atir.brp.comand under its profiles on SEDAR+ atwww.sedarplus.caand EDGAR atwww.sec.gov, contains important information with respect to voting your Shares and the matters to be dealt with at the Meeting.

The Company's board of directors has fixed the close of business on April 18, 2024, as the record date for determining shareholders entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting, or any postponement or adjournment thereof. No person who becomes a shareholder after that time will be entitled to vote at the Meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof.

GENERAL INFORMATION

This management proxy circular (the "Circular") is furnished in connection with the solicitation by management of BRP Inc.
