Forward Looking Statements
This presentation contains forward-looking statements or information (collectively, "forward-looking statements") within the meaning of applicable securities legislation, including Section 27A of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements, except for statements of historical fact, that relate to the anticipated future activities, plans, strategies,
objectives or expectations of the Company are forward-looking statements. When used in this presentation, the use of words and phrases including "anticipates," "believes," "continue," "could," "estimates," "expects,"
"focused on," "forecast," "guidance," "intends," "maintain," "may," "opportunities," "outlook," "plans," "potential," "strategy," "targets," "will," "would" and other similar terminology is intended to identify forward-looking
statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words or phrases.
Readers are cautioned against unduly relying on forward-looking statements which, by their nature, involve numerous assumptions and are subject to both known and unknown risks and uncertainties (many of
which are beyond our control) that may cause such statements not to occur, or actual results to differ materially and/or adversely from those expressed or implied. These assumptions include: future commodity
prices and basis differentials; future foreign exchange rates; the ability of the Company to access credit facilities and shelf prospectuses; data contained in key modeling statistics; the availability of attractive
commodity or financial hedges and the enforceability of risk management programs; the Company's ability to capture and maintain gains in productivity and efficiency; benefits from technology and innovations;
expectations that counterparties will fulfill their obligations pursuant to gathering, processing, transportation and marketing agreements; access to adequate gathering, transportation, processing and storage
facilities; assumed tax, royalty and regulatory regimes; expectations and projections made in light of, and generally consistent with, the Company's historical experience and its perception of historical industry
trends, including with respect to the pace of technological development; and the other assumptions contained herein.
Risks and uncertainties that may affect the Company's financial or operating performance include: market and commodity price volatility, including widening price or basis differentials, and the associated impact
to the Company's stock price, credit rating, financial condition, oil and natural gas reserves and access to liquidity; uncertainties, costs and risks involved in our operations, including hazards and risks incidental to
both the drilling and completion of wells and the production, transportation, marketing and sale of oil, NGL and natural gas; availability of equipment, services, resources and personnel required to perform the
Company's operating activities; our ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our obligations and reduce debt; the impact of a pandemic, epidemic or other widespread outbreak of an infectious disease (such
as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic) on commodity prices and the Company's operations; our ability to secure adequate transportation and storage for oil, NGL and natural gas, as well as access to end markets or
physical sales locations; interruptions to oil, NGL and natural gas production, including potential curtailments of gathering, transportation or refining operations; variability and discretion of the Company's board of
directors to declare and pay dividends, if any; the timing and costs associated with drilling and completing wells, and the construction of well facilities and gathering and transportation pipelines; business
interruption, property and casualty losses (including weather related losses) or unexpected technical difficulties and the extent to which insurance covers any such losses; counterparty and credit risk; the actions of
members of OPEC and other state-controlled oil companies with respect to oil, NGLS and natural gas production and the resulting impacts on oil, NGLS and natural gas prices; the impact of changes in our credit
rating and access to liquidity, including costs thereof; changes in political or economic conditions in the United States and Canada, including fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, tariffs, taxes, interest rates and
inflation rates; failure to achieve or maintain our cost and efficiency initiatives; risks associated with technology, including electronic, cyber and physical security breaches; changes in royalty, tax, environmental,
greenhouse gas, carbon, accounting and other laws or regulations or the interpretations thereof; our ability to timely obtain environmental or other necessary government permits or approvals; the Company's
ability to utilize U.S. net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes; risks associated with existing and potential lawsuits and regulatory actions made against the Company, including with respect to
environmental liabilities and other liabilities that are not adequately covered by an effective indemnity or insurance; risks related to the purported causes and impact of climate change, and the costs therefrom; the
impact of disputes arising with our partners, including suspension of certain obligations and inability to dispose of assets or interests in certain arrangements; the Company's ability to acquire or find additional oil
and natural gas reserves; imprecision of oil and natural gas reserves estimates and estimates of recoverable quantities, including the impact to future net revenue estimates; land, legal, regulatory and ownership
complexities inherent in the U.S., Canada and other applicable jurisdictions; risks associated with past and future acquisitions or divestitures of oil and natural gas assets, including the receipt of any contingent
amounts contemplated in the transaction agreements (such transactions may include third-party capital investments, farm-ins, farm-outs or partnerships); our ability to repurchase the Company's outstanding
shares of common stock, including risks associated with obtaining any necessary stock exchange approvals; the existence of alternative uses for the Company's cash resources which may be superior to the
payment of dividends or effecting repurchases of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock; risks associated with decommissioning activities, including the timing and cost thereof; risks and
uncertainties described in Item 1A. Risk Factors of the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q; and other risks and uncertainties impacting the Company's business as
described from time to time in the Company's periodic filings with the SEC or Canadian securities regulators.
