OUR ZONES OF INTERVENTION Since 2008, the Foundation has been operating in West Africa, particularly in Burkina Faso and in Niger. In July 2015, the Foundation discontinued its activities in Niger and transferred its assets to Larassu, an NGO set up by its Nigerian employees. The cumulative data as of 2008 in this report therefore include those from Niger unless otherwise noted. 4 From the President of the Board Message and the Executive director A number of challenges drove us to surpass ourselves in finding creative solutions for the new realities. The country’s instability, primarily in the Est region, led us to review certain activities and visits to the area. Nonetheless, we added the Cascades region to our areas of focus because of SEMAFO’s exploration program in the west of the country. On the educational front, we built 18 classrooms, 12 latrines, 4 water holes, in Benoit Desormeaux addition to annual activities such as the distribution of school kits and solar lamps. President, Once again, the sector was favoured with 42% of our budget. CPA, CA Revenue-generating activities were, however, not overlooked. We maintained our support of flagship projects like the production of sesame and shea-based products. Furthermore, we launched two pig-farming initiatives, one rabbit-farming and one layer -poultry project on top of existing poultry, beekeeping and sheep-fattening projects. To boost the health sector and our women- and children-focused activities, we built a hospital ward and a Centre de Santé et de Promotion Social (CSPS). In the 2019-2020 year, the Foundation will shift its focus to trade-based training. We wish to ensure that the villages surrounding SEMAFO mines continue to live in the best Chantal Guérin possible conditions even after closure of the mine.

Box 30 Fax: 819-363-5155 Kingsey Falls, Quebec J0A 1B0 Canada www.cascades.com CASCADES ACQUIRES CONTAINERBOARD PACKAGING PLANTS IN ONTARIO AND INCREASES ITS OWNERSHIP IN GREENPAC Kinsey Falls, QC, December 4, 2017 – Cascades Inc. (TSX: CAS) announces the acquisition of four plants in Ontario to strengthen its position in the containerboard packaging sector, and the purchase of an ownership position in Tencorr Holdings Corporation (“Tencorr”). The company also announces an increase in its equity holding of the Greenpac Mill LLC (“Greenpac”). “We are very pleased to expand our presence in Ontario and increase our stake in Greenpac for the second time this year. These transactions align perfectly with our vision and strategy for our containerboard activities,” stated Cascades President and CEO Mario Plourde. The four following plants were acquired from the Coyle family, and specialize in the manufacturing of boxes and speciality products offering strong growth potential: - McLeish Corr-a-Box Packaging & Design – Etobicoke, Ontario - Brown Packaging – Burlington, Ontario - Coyle Corrugated Containers Inc. – Scarborough, Ontario - Coyle Packaging (Peterborough) Ltd. – Peterborough, Ontario This transaction will allow Cascades to expand its presence in Ontario, to increase its production capacity by 500 million square feet per year, and to strengthen its ability to serve customers in this region. These plants already have procurement agreements with Greenpac, and as such the transaction will have little impact on Cascades’ integration rate. Cascades has also acquired the Coyle family’s 33% stake in Tencorr, a company specialized in manufacturing sheet stock for box producers.
