("Parex" or the "Company"), including important disclosures and risk factors associated with an investment in Parex. This presentation does not take into account the particular investment objectives or financial circumstances of any specific person who may receive it and does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any security in Canada, the United States or any other jurisdiction. The contents of this presentation have not been approved or disapproved by any securities commission or regulatory authority in Canada, the United States or any other jurisdiction, and Parex expressly disclaims any duty on Parex to make disclosure or any filings with any securities commission or regulatory authority, beyond that imposed by applicable laws. Forward-Looking Statements and Financial Outlook Certain information regarding Parex set forth in this presentation contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial known and unknown risks and uncertainties. The use of any of the words "plan", "expect", "prospective", "project", "intend", "believe", "should", "anticipate", "estimate" or other similar words, or statements that certain events or conditions "may" or "will" occur are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements represent Parex's internal projections, estimates or beliefs concerning, among other things, future growth, results of operations, production, future capital and other expenditures (including the amount, nature and sources of funding thereof), plans for and results of drilling activity, business prospects and opportunities. These statements are only predictions and actual events or results may differ materially. Although the Company's management believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, it cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievement since such expectations are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, political and social uncertainties and contingencies. Many factors could cause Parex's actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, Parex. In particular, forward-looking statements contained in this presentation include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the performance characteristics of the Company's oil properties; the Company's vision, strategy, focus and values; the potential for outsized returns in Colombia; that Colombia has a favourable risk/reward profile; Parex's strategic investing plans for 2023, including timing of drilling and main growth drivers; Parex's forecast to minimize decline rate and improve capital efficiency; Parex's anticipated production growth; that Parex's campaign oriented drilling plan will increase efficiency; Parex's expectations that technological advancements will drive down drilling costs and increase production efficiency; Parex's three-year development plan and exploration strategy, including its anticipated production, costs and the financial results and the anticipated timing thereof; Parex's expectation that it will return 100% of its growth in FFF to its shareholders over the next three years; Parex's expectations that it will deliver one exploration prospect result roughly each quarter; that Parex will deliver top-tier ESG performance; Parex's 2023 guidance, including its anticipated total production, funds flow and capital expenditures; the anticipated impact that the Colombian tax reform will have on Parex in 2023; Parex's anticipated funds flow from operations netback sensitivity for 2023; Parex's expectations for certain of its blocks, including facility expansions, capital expenditures, production, payouts and water injection/waterflood and the anticipated timing thereof; anticipated growth in Parex's Arauca field and the anticipated timing thereof; Parex's expectations that the installation of its gas cycling project will become a template for future expansions at certain of its blocks; Parex's expectations that it will increase liquids recovery and build long-term infrastructure solution to monetize dry gas; Parex's long-term capital allocation framework and 2023 capital allocation guidance including the constituent components set out on slide 8 of the presentation; the anticipated amount of capital that Parex expects to return to its shareholders in 2023; Parex's forecasted production per share growth and PDP reserves per share growth; Parex's anticipated future returns of capital and the anticipated number of shares that will be outstanding at the end of fiscal 2022; the focus of Parex's MOU with Ecopetrol S.A. and the anticipated benefits to be derived therefrom; the anticipated amount of capital that the Company will return to its shareholders through dividends, including its regular quarterly dividend, and share repurchases; that Parex will continue to pay its regular quarterly dividend; the Company's production capability/potential; anticipated drilling locations, including the Company's delineation and drilling plans; and Parex's expectations that it will invest approximately two thirds of FFO into its business, return one third of its FFO to its shareholders and return 100% of its FFF to its shareholders.
