SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

This management information circular (“ Circular ”) is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the management of CGX Energy Inc. (the “ Corporation ” or “ CGX ”) for use at the annual and special meeting of shareholders ( the “Shareholders”) of the Corporation (the “ Meeting ”) and at any adjournments or postponements thereof, for the purposes set forth in the accompanying notice of meeting (the “ Notice of Meeting ”). The Meeting is scheduled to be held on Friday, July 29, 2022 at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) at the office of Fasken Martineau DuMoulin LLP located at 333 Bay Street, Suite 2400, Toronto, Ontario and will be available by audio webcast online at http://cgxenergy.virtualevents.world/ and teleconference at 1‐647‐374‐4685(Canada)/ 1‐929‐205‐6099(US). Shareholders joining by audio webcast or teleconference will be required to enter the Meeting ID and Passcode set forth below:

Meeting ID: 880 0879 3249 Passcode: 635669

International dial‐in information and additional Canada and US dial‐in numbers are available at http://cgxenergy.virtualevents.world/ . Except to the extent otherwise stated herein, all information set forth herein is given as of June 9, 2022.

Shareholders are reminded to review the Circular before voting. The procedures by which Shareholders may exercise their right to vote with respect to the matters at the Meeting will vary depending on whether a Shareholder is a registered Shareholder (that is, a Shareholder who holds shares directly in his, her or its own name and is entered on the register of Shareholders) (“ Registered Shareholders ”) or a non‐registered Shareholder (that is, a Shareholder who holds shares through an intermediary such as a bank, trust company, securities dealer or broker) (“ Non‐Registered Shareholders ”).

Registered Shareholders who wish to vote in person at the Meeting, are not required to complete or return the enclosed Proxy Form included with the materials sent to you. You may simply attend the Meeting and you will be entitled to vote during the course of the Meeting if a ballot is called. When you arrive at the Meeting, please register with the Corporation's transfer agent and registrar, TSX Trust Company (the “ Transfer Agent ”) , at the registration table.

Non‐Registered Shareholders who wish to vote in person at the Meeting are required to take the following steps:

Insert your name in the space provided on the VIF provided to you by your intermediary or the Corporation and sign and return it in accordance with the instructions provided. By doing so, you are instructing your intermediary to appoint you as proxyholder.
Do not otherwise complete the VIF, as you will be voting at the Meeting.
When you arrive at the Meeting, please register with the Transfer Agent at the registration table.

Please note that you will not be admitted to vote at the Meeting by presenting a VIF. The VIF must be completed prior to the Meeting and submitted to your applicable intermediary.

Due to the ongoing concerns related to the spread of COVID‐19, Shareholders are strongly encouraged not to attend the Meeting in person and to vote on the matters before the Meeting by proxy, appointing the Management Designees named in the accompanying Proxy Form or VIF, in order to limit the number of attendees in person. The Meeting will be available via live audio webcast and by teleconference and all Shareholders are urged to listen to the Meeting online or by telephone.

Distribution of Meeting Materials

The Corporation has elected to use the notice‐and‐access provisions (“ Notice‐and‐Access Provisions ”) under National Instrument 54‐101 ‐ Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer (“ NI 54‐101 ”) and National Instrument 51‐102 ‐ Continuous Disclosure Obligations for the Meeting in respect of delivering the Meeting materials to Shareholders.

The Notice‐and‐Access Provisions are rules developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators that reduce the volume of materials that must be physically mailed to Shareholders by allowing a reporting issuer to post an information circular in respect of a meeting of its Shareholders and related materials online. The Corporation believes this environmentally friendly process will provide Shareholders with a convenient way to access the Meeting materials, while allowing the Corporation to lower the costs associated with printing and distributing the Meeting materials.

Although the Corporation has elected to use the Notice‐and‐Access Provisions, both Registered Shareholders (that is, a Shareholder who holds Common Shares directly in his, her or its own name and is entered on the register of Shareholders) and Non‐Registered Shareholders (that is, a Shareholder who holds Common Shares through an intermediary such as a bank, trust company, securities dealer or broker) will receive a package which will include either the Proxy Form or VIF, among other materials. Shareholders may receive multiple packages of these Meeting materials if a Shareholder holds Common Shares through more than one intermediary, or if a Shareholder is both a Registered Shareholder and a Non‐Registered Shareholder for different shareholdings.

Should a Shareholder receive multiple packages, a Shareholder should repeat the steps to vote through a Proxy Form, appoint a proxyholder or attend the Meeting, if desired, separately for each package to ensure that all the Common Shares from the various shareholdings are voted at the Meeting.

Pursuant to NI 54‐101, arrangements have been made with clearing agencies, brokerage houses and other financial intermediaries to forward proxy solicitation material to non‐objecting Non‐Registered Shareholders. The Corporation does not intend to pay for intermediaries to forward proxy solicitation materials under NI 54‐101 and Form 54‐101F7 – Request for Voting Instructions Made by Intermediary . Objecting Non‐Registered Shareholders will not receive the proxy solicitation materials unless its intermediary assumes the cost of delivery. The Corporation will provide, without cost to such persons, upon request by each Non‐Registered Shareholder to the Secretary of the Corporation, additional copies of the above‐noted documents required for this purpose.

Appointment and Revocation of Proxies

The persons named in the Proxy Form have been designated by management to represent management of the Corporation at the Meeting (the “ Management Designees ”). A Shareholder has the right to appoint another person or company (who need not be a Shareholder), including a Non‐Registered Shareholder who wishes to appoint themselves, to represent them at the Meeting. A Shareholder may do so either by inserting such person's name in the blank space provided in the Proxy Form and striking out the names of the two specified persons and delivering the completed Proxy Form by facsimile to 416‐595‐9593 or mail to the Corporation's Transfer Agent, c/o TSX Trust Company, 100 Adelaide St. W., Suite 301, Toronto, Ontario, M5H 4H1, Attn: Proxy Dept, or by voting online at www.voteproxyonline.com, not later than 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on Wednesday, July 27, 2022 or, if the Meeting is adjourned, not later than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the time and date at which the Meeting is reconvened .

MANAGEMENT CIRCULAR PROXY

A Shareholder who has given a Proxy Form may revoke it:

(a) by signing a Proxy Form bearing a later date and depositing it with the Transfer Agent or the Secretary of the Corporation by no later than 10:00 am (Toronto time) on Wednesday, July 27, 2022; or
(b) as to any matter on which a vote shall not have already been cast pursuant to the authority conferred by such Proxy Form, by signing a written notice of revocation and delivering it to the Transfer Agent or the Secretary or the Chair by no later than 10:00 am (Toronto time) on Wednesday, July 27, 2022; or
(c) by attending the Meeting in person and personally voting the Common Shares represented by the Proxy Form, if the shareholder is a Registered Shareholder; or
(d) in addition to the revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a proxy may be revoked under subsection 110(4) of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the “ Act ”) by an instrument in writing executed by the Shareholder or by his attorney authorized in writing (or if the Shareholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal or by an officer or attorney thereof authorized in writing), deposited either at the registered office of the Corporation at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof, at which the Proxy Form is to be used, or with the Chair on the day of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof and upon either of such deposits the proxy shall be revoked.

Non‐Registered Shareholders who wish to change their vote must arrange for their respective intermediaries to revoke the proxy on their behalf. A revocation of a proxy does not affect any matter on which a vote has been taken prior to the revocation.

Exercise of Discretion by Proxies

The Common Shares represented by the enclosed Proxy Form will be voted for, against or withheld from voting on any ballot that may be called for in accordance with the instructions of the Shareholder executing the proxy and, if such Shareholder has specified a choice with respect to any matter to be acted on at the Meeting, the Common Shares will be voted accordingly. IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH INSTRUCTIONS SUCH COMMON SHARES WILL BE VOTED IN FAVOUR OF EACH MATTER IDENTIFIED IN THE PROXY FORM TO BE VOTED UPON AT THE MEETING .

The enclosed Proxy Form confers discretionary authority upon the persons named therein with respect to amendments to matters identified in the Notice of Meeting, or other matters which may properly come before the Meeting. At the time of printing this Circular, management knows of no such amendments or other matters to come before the Meeting other than matters referred to in the Notice of Meeting. However, if other matters not known to management should properly come before the Meeting, the accompanying proxy will be voted on such matters in accordance with the judgement of the person voting the proxy.

Non‐Registered Shareholders

The information set forth in this section is of significant importance to those Shareholders who do not hold Common Shares in their own name . Shareholders who do not hold their Common Shares in their own name (hereafter referred to in this Circular as “ Beneficial Owner ”) should note that only proxies deposited by Shareholders whose names appear on the records of the Corporation as the registered holders of Common Shares can be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting. If Common Shares are listed in an account statement provided to a Shareholder by a broker, then, in almost all cases, those

MANAGEMENT CIRCULAR PROXY 6

Common shares will not be registered in the Shareholder’s name on the records of the Corporation. Such Common Shares will likely be registered under the name of the Shareholder’s broker or an agent of that broker. In Canada, the vast majority of such Common Shares are registered under the name of CDS & Co. (the registration name for The Canadian Depository for Securities which acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms). Common Shares held by brokers or their agents or nominees can only be voted (for, against or withheld resolutions) upon the instructions of the Beneficial Owner. Without specific instructions, a broker and its agents and nominees are prohibited from voting Common Shares for the broker’s clients. Therefore, Beneficial Owners should ensure that instructions respecting the voting of their Common Shares are communicated to the appropriate person .

Applicable regulatory rules require intermediaries/brokers to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Owners in advance of shareholders meetings. Every intermediary/broker has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions to clients, which should be carefully followed by Beneficial Owners in order to ensure that their Common Shares are voted at the Meeting. Often, the voting instruction form supplied to a Beneficial Owner by its broker (or the agent of the broker) is identical to the Proxy Form provided to Registered Shareholders. However, its purpose is limited to instructing the Registered Shareholder (the broker or agent of the broker) how to vote on behalf of the Beneficial Owner. The majority of brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Investor Communication Solutions, Canada (“ Broadridge ”). Broadridge typically applies a special sticker to Proxy Forms, mails those forms to the Beneficial Owner and asks the Beneficial Owner to return the Proxy Forms to Broadridge. Voting instructions may also be given by telephone or online at www.proxyvotecanada.com by following the instructions. Broadridge then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of Common Shares to be represented at the Meeting. A Beneficial Owner receiving a proxy with a Broadridge sticker on it cannot use that proxy to vote Common Shares directly at the Meeting ‐ the proxy must be returned to Broadridge well in advance of the Meeting in order to have the Common Shares voted .

Although a Beneficial Owner may not be recognized directly at the Meeting for the purposes of voting Common Shares registered in the name of his broker (or an agent of the broker), a Beneficial Owner may attend the Meeting as proxy holder for the Registered Shareholder and vote the Common Shares in that capacity. Beneficial Owners who wish to attend the Meeting and indirectly vote their Common Shares as proxyholder for the registered owner, should enter their own names in the blank space on the VIF provided to them and return the same to their broker (or the broker’s agent) in accordance with the instructions provided by such broker (or agent), well in advance of the Meeting.

Beneficial owners who have objected to an intermediary providing ownership information are Objecting Beneficial Owners (“ OBOs ”). The Corporation has elected to use the Notice‐and‐Access Provisions for the Meeting in respect of delivering the Meeting materials to Shareholders and therefore will not be delivering meeting materials unless requested. The Corporation does not intend to pay for intermediaries to forward to OBOs under NI 54‐101 the proxy‐related materials and Form 54‐101F7 Request for Voting Instructions Made by Intermediary . Therefore, an OBO will not receive such materials unless the OBO’s intermediary assumes the cost of delivery.

In addition, the Corporation has decided to take advantage of provisions of NI 54‐101 that permit it to deliver Meeting materials directly to non‐objecting Beneficial Owners. The Corporation has elected to use the Notice‐and‐Access Provisions for the Meeting in respect of delivering the Meeting materials to Shareholders and therefore will not be delivering meeting materials unless requested to both Registered and Non‐Registered Shareholders. If you are a Beneficial Owner, and the Corporation or its Transfer Agent has sent a Proxy Form or VIF to you, your name and address and information about your holdings of Common Shares have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the intermediary holding the Common Shares on your behalf. By choosing to send these materials to you directly, the Corporation (and not the intermediary holding on your behalf) has assumed

MANAGEMENT CIRCULAR PROXY 7

responsibility for: (i) providing access to these materials to you; and (ii) executing your proper voting instructions. As a result, you can expect to receive a Proxy Form from our Transfer Agent or a VIF form your intermediary. These Proxy Forms or VIFs are to be completed and returned to the Transfer Agent or intermediary, as applicable, in the envelope provided. In addition, the Transfer Agent provides for Internet voting as described on the Proxy Form or VIF. The Transfer Agent will tabulate the results of the Proxy Form or VIFs received and will provide appropriate instructions at the Meeting with respect to the Common Shares represented by the Proxy Form or VIFs they receive.

VOTING SHARES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF

Share Capital

As of June 9, 2022, CGX has 334,509,000 fully paid and non‐assessable Common Shares outstanding. Each Common Share carries the right to one (1) vote per share. Each holder of record of Common Shares at the time of the close of business on June 9, 2022 (the “ Record Date ”) will be given notice of the Meeting and will be entitled to vote at the Meeting the number of Common Shares of record held by them on the Record Date.

The Board of Directors of CGX the (“ Board ”) has fixed June 9, 2022 as the Record Date for the determination of the Shareholders entitled to receive notice of the Meeting. Shareholders of the Corporation as of the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to vote at the Meeting and all adjournments thereof.

Ownership of Securities of the Corporation

As of the Record Date, to the knowledge of the directors and officers of the Corporation, other than Frontera Energy Corporation (“ Frontera ”), which own 257,475,469 Common Shares, representing approximately 76.97% of the outstanding Common Shares, no person or corporation beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, or exercises control or direction over, voting securities of the Corporation carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to any class of voting securities of the Corporation.

The directors and officers of the Corporation collectively own or control directly or indirectly, in the aggregate, 328,900 Common Shares representing approximately 0.09% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares as at June 9, 2022.

COMPENSATION OF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

For the purposes of this section, a “Named Executive Officer” of the Corporation means each of the following:

(a) the chief executive officer (“ CEO ”) of the Corporation;
(b) the chief financial officer (“ CFO ”) of the Corporation;
(c) each of the Corporation’s three most highly compensated executive officers, or the three most highly compensated individuals acting in a similar capacity, other than the CEO and CFO, at the end of the most recently completed financial year whose total compensation was, individually, more than $150,000, as determined in accordance with subsection 1.3(6) of Form 51‐102F6, for that financial year; and
(d) each individual who would be a Named Executive Officer under paragraph (c) above but for the fact that the individual was neither an executive officer of the Corporation, nor acting in a similar capacity, at the end of that financial year.

MANAGEMENT CIRCULAR PROXY

In the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, the Corporation had the following six named executive officers (collectively, the “ Named Executive Officers ”): Suresh Narine, Executive Director, The Cooperative Republic of Guyana (“ Guyana ”) and Director of the Corporation, Hill‐York Poon, Interim CFO, Tralisa Maraj, Former CFO, Michael Stockinger (VP, Operations), Todd Durkee (VP, Development) and Kevin Lacy (Drilling Director).

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The compensation committee (the “ Compensation Committee ”) of the Board is responsible for ensuring that the Corporation has in place an appropriate plan for executive compensation and for making recommendations to the Board with respect to the compensation of the Corporation’s executive officers. The Compensation Committee ensures that total compensation paid to all Named Executive Officers is fair and reasonable and is consistent with the Corporation’s compensation philosophy.

Compensation plays an important role in achieving short and long‐term business objectives that ultimately drive business success. The Corporation’s compensation philosophy is to foster entrepreneurship at all levels of the organization through, among other things, the granting of stock options, which is a significant component of executive compensation. This approach is based on the assumption that the performance of the Corporation’s Common Share price over the long term is an important indicator of long‐term performance.

The Corporation’s compensation philosophy is based on the following fundamental principles:

(a) Compensation programs align with shareholder interests – the Corporation aligns the goals of executives with maximizing long term shareholder value;
(b) Performance sensitive – compensation for executive officers should be linked to operating and market performance of the Corporation and fluctuate with that performance;
(c) creating among directors, officers, consultants and employees, a corporate environment which will align their interests with those of the shareholders; and
(d) Offer market‐competitive compensation to attract and retain talent – the compensation program should provide market competitive pay in terms of value and structure in order to retain existing employees who are performing according to their objectives and to attract new individuals of the highest caliber.

The objectives of the compensation program in compensating all Named Executive Officers were developed based on the above‐mentioned compensation philosophy and are as follows:

(a) to attract and retain highly qualified executive officers;
(b) to align the interests of executive officers with Shareholders’ interests and with the execution of the Corporation’s business strategy;
(c) to evaluate executive performance on the basis of key measurements that correlate to long‐term shareholder value; and
(d) to tie compensation directly to those measurements and rewards based on achieving and exceeding predetermined objectives.

MANAGEMENT CIRCULAR PROXY

Compensation Program

The Corporation’s policies on executive compensation are intended to provide appropriate compensation for executives that is internally equitable, externally competitive and reflects individual achievements in the context of the Corporation. The overriding principles in establishing executive compensation provide that compensation should reflect:

fair and competitive compensation commensurate with an individual’s experience and expertise in order to attract and retain highly qualified executives;
recognition and encouragement of leadership, entrepreneurial spirit and team work;
an alignment of the financial interests of the executives with the financial interests of the Shareholders;
stock options and annual bonuses to reward individual performance and contribution to the achievement of corporate performance and objectives; and
contribution to enhancement of shareholder value.

No specific quantitative targets are set by the Compensation Committee with respect to compensation of Named Executive Officers. In addition, although performance of the Corporation is a factor that the Compensation Committee considers when determining or approving compensation of executive officers of the Corporation, it is primarily the factors described herein that determine the compensation of the Named Executive Officers of the Corporation.

There are four elements to the Corporation’s executive compensation program:

Base salary ;
Short‐term compensation incentives (primarily bonuses) for annual and personal performance;
Long‐term compensation incentives (primarily stock options) related to long‐term increase in shareholder value; and

 Benefits and perquisites .

The Corporation does not have any formal or informal policy or target for allocating compensation between short‐term and long‐term compensation, between cash and non‐cash compensation or among the different forms of non‐cash compensation. Although the Compensation Committee has no specific pre‐established policy or target for the allocation between cash and non‐cash or short‐term and long‐ term compensation, the pay mix is largely dictated by competitive market practice combined with a philosophy of calibrating incentive levels to performance results. The Compensation Committee determines on a case‐by‐case basis the appropriate level and mix of the various compensation components based on their judgment and experience, compensation information compiled by management and recommendations of the Executive Chairman (except for his own compensation) to provide a total compensation structure that is designed to motivate senior officers to achieve the business goals set by the Corporation and reward the Corporation’s executives when they achieve these goals.

MANAGEMENT CIRCULAR PROXY 10

Base Salary

Base salary represents a key component of a Named Executive Officer’s compensation package as it is the first step in ensuring a competitive structure based on a number of factors, including peer group comparison.

The base salaries and benefits of the Named Executive Officers are set within guidelines developed by the Compensation Committee and are consistent with the principles set out above. The Corporation believes that it is appropriate to establish compensation levels based in large part on benchmarking against comparable companies, both in terms of compensation practices as well as levels of compensation. In this way, the Corporation will be able to gauge if its compensation is competitive in the marketplace for its talent, as well as ensure that the Corporation’s compensation is reasonable. Accordingly, the Compensation Committee will continue to review the compensation levels for the executive officers against compensation levels of comparable companies.

In determining the base salary and bonus to be paid to Named Executive Officers, the Compensation Committee will consider the particular responsibilities related to the position, the experience level of the executive officer and the necessary compensation required to retain the executive officer involved. In determining the base salaries and bonuses for the Named Executive Officers, the Compensation Committee intends to select an appropriate group of peer companies and review information on the compensation practices for executive compensation using published survey data from both the oil and gas industry.

The base salary for each of the Named Executive Officer of the Corporation is reviewed and established annually. Base salaries are also reviewed from time to time to ensure comparability with the oil and gas industry practices.

Short‐Term Compensation Incentives

Each Named Executive Officer has targets to work towards, which are set annually. Bonuses paid to Named Executive Officers of the Corporation are determined based on the general results of the Corporation and achievement of business objectives. As detailed above, the Executive Chairman provides input on executive compensation, including bonuses, but the final determination is made by the Compensation Committee.

Long‐Term Compensation Incentives

Long‐term incentive compensation for Named Executive Officers has historically been provided through grants of stock options pursuant to the stock option plan (see Matters to be Acted Upon at Meeting ‐ Item 3 Stock Option Plan ). Stock option grants to Named Executive Officers are made periodically as the Compensation Committee determines appropriate. The number of stock options granted is based on each individual’s salary level, responsibility and performance and takes into account the number and terms of stock options that have been previously granted to that individual. The Compensation Committee believes that the grant of stock options to the Named Executive Officers serves to motivate achievement of the Corporation’s long‐term strategic objectives and helps to align the financial interests of the executive officers with the financial interest of the Shareholders. Previous grants are taken into account when considering new grants.

Please see the heading entitled “Summary Compensation Table for Named Executive Officers” below for a description of the stock options granted to Named Executive Officers in 2021, 2020 and 2019.

MANAGEMENT CIRCULAR PROXY 11

Benefits and Perquisites

Some of the Named Executive Officers are eligible to participate in the same benefits as offered to all full‐time employees. This includes participation in a traditional employee benefit plan including health and dental care and various forms of life and disability insurances.

In addition, some of the Named Executive Officers are eligible to receive (but may opt not to take) the following enhanced perquisites and benefits, which are not otherwise available to other employees:

the Corporation makes contributions equal to 7% of the Named Executive Officer’s base salary to a defined contribution retirement plan;
membership in a social club agreed to in advance by the Corporation;
participation in the Corporation’s health benefit plan and coverage for the Named Executive Officer and his or her family is paid by the Corporation. The Corporation deposits an amount of up to $3,000 per year in a flexible savings account for the Named Executive Officer’s supplemental expenses not covered by the health benefit plan;
dental coverage is 50% to a maximum of $3,000 annual for major interventions and unlimited reimbursement for minor procedures;
coverage for vision care under the Corporation’s vision plan for the Named Executive Officer and his or her family;
life insurance coverage equal to two times base salary up to a maximum of $1,000,000; and
transportation allowance of up to $1,000 per month.
per diem payment of $1,000 for every day spent in Guyana on the Corporation’s business, including the payment of all reasonable expenses.

The Corporation does not view these benefits as a significant element of its compensation structure, as they constitute only a small percentage of total compensation, but does believe that perquisites and benefits should be used in conjunction with base salary to attract, motivate and retain individuals in a competitive environment.

Compensation Risk Management

The Compensation Committee evaluates the risks, if any, associated with the Corporation’s compensation policies and practices. The Corporation’s policies and practices respecting compensation are consistent for all Named Executive Officers, employees and consultants and have been designed in a manner which is in the best interests of the Corporation and its Shareholders providing a balanced compensation approach including fixed and variable compensation and short and longer term incentives. The stock option component of the compensation provided by the Corporation to its executive officers is both “longer term” and “at risk” and, accordingly, is directly linked to the achievement of longer term value creation. Since the benefits of such compensation, if any, are generally not realized until a significant period of time has passed, the incentive to take inappropriate or excessive risks with regard to their compensation that are financially beneficial to them at the expense of the Corporation and its Shareholders is limited. The Compensation Committee believes that it is unlikely that an executive officer would take inappropriate or excessive risks at the expense of the Corporation and its Shareholders that would be beneficial to them with regard to their short term compensation when their longer term

MANAGEMENT CIRCULAR PROXY

compensation might be put at risk from their actions. Due to the size of the Corporation, the Compensation Committee is able to monitor and consider any risks which may be associated with the Corporation’s compensation policies and practices. Risks, if any, may be identified and mitigated through regular meetings of the Board during which financial and other information relating to the Corporation are reviewed.

The Compensation Committee has not identified any risks arising from the Corporation’s compensation policies and practices that it believes would be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Corporation. Although the Corporation has not as yet adopted any specific policies in this regard, in the event that a director or an executive officer purchases financial instruments that are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in the market value of the Corporation’s equity securities granted as compensation or held, directly or indirectly by the director or the executive officer, such purchases must be disclosed in insider reporting filings. To date, no such purchases have been undertaken by any director of executive officer of the Corporation.

During the financial year ended December 31, 2021, none of the Named Executive Officers elected to exchange any compensation awarded to, earned by, paid to, or payable to the Named Executive Officer under a program that would allow the Named Executive Officer to receive awards, earnings, payments, or payables in another form.

There was no re‐pricing or other significant changes to the terms of any share‐based or option‐ based award program during the most recently completed financial year or in any prior years.

The following table sets forth the annual and long‐term compensation for services rendered to the Corporation paid and payable for the financial year of the Corporation ended December 31, 2021, in respect of the Named Executive Officers.

(2) Includes the dollar amount of options granted during the year based on the grant date fair value. The fair value of the stock options issued during the year ended December 31, 2021 has been calculated using the Black‐Scholes option pricing model, based on the following weighted average assumptions: risk‐free interest rate of 1.02%; expected life of 5 years; weighted expected volatility of 107.56%; forfeiture rate of 0%; and expected dividend yield of Nil%. The fair value of the stock options issued during the year ended December 31, 2019 has been calculated using the Black‐Scholes option pricing model, based on the following assumptions: risk‐free interest rate of 1.54%; expected life of 5 years; weighted expected volatility of 124.66%; forfeiture rate of 0%; and expected dividend yield of Nil%. Option based awards represent the grant date fair value for option‐based awards. Both the grant date fair value and accounting fair value for option‐based awards are calculated using the Black‐Scholes model using the assumptions described herein. The grant date fair value of option‐based awards as presented will differ from the compensation expense included for these grants in the Corporation’s financial statements because, in accordance with IFRS accounting requirements, the compensation expense reflects only the fair value amortized in the period based on each grant’s vesting terms.

ITEM 3 – Stock Option Plan

The Corporation maintains a stock option plan (the “ Plan ”) for the benefit of directors, officers, employees, consultants and other service providers of the Corporation and its subsidiaries in order to assist the Corporation in attracting, retaining and motivating such persons by providing them with the opportunity, through stock options (“ Options ”), to acquire an increased proprietary interest in the Corporation.

At the last annual and special meeting of Shareholders of the Corporation held on June 30, 2021, Shareholders approved the Plan which provided that the maximum number of Common Shares issuable pursuant to Options under the Plan be set at a number which is equal to 10% of the issued and outstanding

MANAGEMENT CIRCULAR PROXY

Common Shares. The policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “ Exchange ” or “ TSXV ”) require the Corporation approve the Plan at each annual meeting of its Shareholders.

Summary of the Plan and Recent Amendments

Options may be granted under the Plan to directors, senior officers, employees and consultants of the Corporation and its subsidiaries and other designated persons as designated from time to time by the Board. The number of Common Shares which may be reserved for issuance under the current Plan, as amended, is limited to 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares as at the date of the grant of Options. The maximum number of Common Shares which may be reserved for issuance to any one director, senior officer or employee under the Plan is 5% of the Common Shares outstanding at the time of the grant (calculated on a non‐diluted basis) and 2% with respect to any one consultant of the Corporation. Any Common Shares subject to an option which for any reason is cancelled or terminated prior to exercise will be available for a subsequent grant under the Plan. The option price of any Common Shares cannot be less than the closing price of the Common Shares on the day immediately preceding the day upon which the option is granted, less any discount permitted by the policies of the Exchange. Options granted under the current Plan may be exercised during a period not exceeding ten years, (subject to a right of the directors to extend the expiry date of an option if the expiry date of such option should occur during a period pursuant to which a holder of the option is subject to a trading blackout, in which case the expiry date of the option may be extended to allow for the term of the option to expire on the date which is five days after the end of such blackout period) and also subject to earlier termination upon the termination of the optionee’s employment, upon the optionee ceasing to have a designated relationship with the Corporation, as applicable, or upon the retirement, permanent disability or death of the optionee. The options under the current Plan are non‐transferable. The Plan contains provisions for adjustment in the number of Common Shares issuable thereunder in the event of a subdivision, consolidation, reclassification or change of the Common Shares, a merger or other relevant changes in the Corporation’s capitalization.

Subject to Shareholder approval in certain circumstances, the Board may from time to time amend or revise the terms of the Plan or may terminate the Plan at any time. The Plan does not contain any provision for financial assistance by the Corporation in respect of options granted under the Plan.

Annual Approval of the Plan

Pursuant to the rules of the Exchange, Shareholders are being asked to approve and confirm the Plan. A copy of the Plan is attached as Schedule A hereto. In order to confirm and re‐approve the Plan a majority of votes cast at the Meeting must be voted in favour of the Plan.

Accordingly, Shareholders will be asked to approve the following resolution:

“BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Corporation’s stock option plan as described in the Management Information Circular dated June 9, 2022, be and it is hereby confirmed including reserving for the issuance under the stock option plan at any time a maximum of 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares in the capital of the Corporation.”

The Board has approved the terms of the Plan and recommends Shareholders vote in favour of the proposed resolution.

PROXIES RECEIVED IN FAVOUR OF MANAGEMENT WILL BE VOTED FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE STOCK OPTION PLAN RESOLUTION, UNLESS THE SHAREHOLDER HAS SPECIFIED IN THE PROXY THAT HIS OR HER COMMON SHARES ARE TO BE VOTED AGAINST SUCH RESOLUTION.

MANAGEMENT CIRCULAR PROXY

ITEM 4 – Stock Option Extension

Dr. Suresh Narine, the Executive Chairman of the Corporation, was previously granted a stock option by the Corporation on May 3, 2017 to buy one million Common Shares of CGX at a price of $0.085 per Common Share (the “ 2017 Option ”), which initially had an expiry date of May 3, 2022. Given Dr. Narine’s contributions to the Corporation and as it has not been prudent to have Dr. Narine exercise the 2017 Option, the Board on May 2, 2022 approved extending the expiry date of the 2017 Option by an additional year to May 3, 2023 (the “ Extension ”) subject to the Shareholders and the TSXV approving the Extension. The Board expects that the TSXV will approve the Extension provided a majority of the Shareholders of the Corporation approve the Extension.

Accordingly, Shareholders will be asked to approve the following resolution:

“BE IT RESOLVED THAT the expiry date of the 2017 Option granted to Dr. Suresh Narine, the Executive Chairman of the Corporation, be extended to May 3, 2023.”

As noted above, the Board has approved the Extension.

PROXIES RECEIVED IN FAVOUR OF MANAGEMENT WILL BE VOTED FOR THE EXTENSION, UNLESS THE SHAREHOLDER HAS SPECIFIED IN THE PROXY THAT HIS OR HER COMMON SHARES ARE TO BE VOTED AGAINST SUCH RESOLUTION.

INDEBTEDNESS OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

No director, executive officer or other senior officer of the Corporation, or any associate of any such director or officer, is, or has been at any time since the incorporation of the Corporation, indebted to the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries nor is, or at any time since the incorporation of the Corporation has, any indebtedness of any such person to another entity been the subject of a guarantee, support agreement, letter of credit or other similar arrangement or understanding provided by the Corporation.

STATEMENT OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES

The Board and senior management of the Corporation consider good corporate governance to be central to the effective and efficient operation of the Corporation. The Board has confirmed the strategic objectives of the Corporation are to seek out, explore and develop oil and gas reserves.

National Instrument 58‐101 – Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices (“ NI 58‐101 ”) requires that if management of an issuer solicits proxies from its security holders for the purpose of electing directors, certain prescribed disclosure in respect of corporate governance matters be included in its management information circular.

The Exchange also requires listed companies to provide, on an annual basis, the corporate governance disclosure which is prescribed by NI 58‐101.

The prescribed corporate governance disclosure for the Corporation is that contained in Form 58‐ 101F2 – Corporate Governance Disclosure (Venture Issuers) (“ Form 58‐101F2 ”) and is set out below.

National Policy 58‐201 ‐ Corporate Governance Guidelines (“ NP 58‐201 ”) establishes corporate governance guidelines which apply to all public companies. The Corporation has reviewed its own corporate governance practices in light of these guidelines. In certain cases, the Corporation’s practices comply with the guidelines; however, the Board considers that some of the guidelines are not suitable for

MANAGEMENT CIRCULAR PROXY

the Corporation at its current stage of development and therefore these guidelines have not been adopted. The Corporation will continue to review and implement the corporate governance guidelines as the business of the Corporation progresses and becomes more active in operations.

Form 58–101F2 – Corporate Governance Disclosure (Venture Issuers)

Board of Directors

The Board is currently composed of six directors. NP 58‐201 states that the board of directors of every listed company should be constituted with a majority of individuals who qualify as “independent” directors. Under NI 58‐101, which provides that a director is independent if he or she has no direct or indirect “material relationship” with the Corporation. “Material relationship” is defined as a relationship which could, in the view of the Board, be reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of a director’s independent judgment. Of the proposed nominees, two directors being, Gabriel de Alba and Veronique Giry are executive officers of Frontera, the majority Shareholder of the Corporation. In assessing Form 58‐101F2, control means the direct or indirect power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a person or company, whether through ownership of voting securities or otherwise. The members of the Board other than those named have considered this definition and Frontera’s share ownership and determined that Mr. de Alba and Ms. Giry are not “independent” within the meaning of NI 58‐101.

Additionally, on April 14, 2017, Dr. Suresh Narine was appointed Executive Director, Guyana of the Corporation. This is an executive position and, as such, Dr. Narine is no longer considered independent as of the date of such appointment.

The Board has determined that the current constitution of the Board of three independent directors being Dennis Mills, Hermann Tribukait and Dr. Zoback, is appropriate for the Corporation’s present stage of development.

The Board has free access to the Corporation’s external auditors, legal counsel and to any of the Corporation’s officers.

Forward‐Looking Information

This Circular includes “forward‐looking statements”, within the meaning of applicable securities legislation, which are based on the opinions and estimates of management and are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those projected in the forward looking statements. Forward‐looking statements are often, but not always, identified by the use of words such as “seek”, “anticipate”, “budget”, “plan”, “continue”, “estimate”, “expect”, “forecast”, “may”, “will”, “project”, “predict”, “potential”, “targeting”, “intend”, “could”,

MANAGEMENT CIRCULAR PROXY 30

“might”, “should”, “believe” and other similar words suggesting future outcomes or statements regarding an outlook. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, risks associated with the offshore and onshore oil and gas industry (including operational risks in exploration development and production; delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration or development projects or capital expenditures; the uncertainty of reserve estimates; the uncertainty of estimates and projections in relation to production, costs and expenses; the uncertainty surrounding the ability of CGX to obtain all permits, consents or authorizations required for its operations and activities; and health safety and environmental risks), the risk of commodity price and foreign exchange rate fluctuations, the risk of CGX not being able to fund the capital and operating expenses necessary to achieve its business plan, the uncertainty associated with commercial negotiations and negotiating with foreign governments and risks associated with international business activities, as well as those risks described in public disclosure documents filed by CGX. The ability of the Company to carry out its business plan is primarily dependent upon the continued support of its shareholders, the discovery of economically recoverable reserves and the ability of the Company to obtain financing to develop such reserves. Due to the risks, uncertainties and assumptions inherent in forward‐looking statements, prospective investors in securities of CGX should not place undue reliance on these forward‐looking statements. Statements in relation to “reserves” and “resources” are deemed to be forward‐looking statements, as they involve the implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, that the resources and reserves described can be profitably produced in the future.

Although the forward‐looking statements contained in this Circular are based on assumptions that management believes to be reasonable, the Company cannot assure investors that actual results will be consistent with these forward‐looking statements.

Readers are cautioned that the foregoing lists of risks, uncertainties and other factors are not exhaustive. The forward‐looking statements contained in this Circular are made as of the date hereof and the Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward‐looking statements contained in this document or in any other documents filed with Canadian securities regulatory authorities, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except in accordance with applicable securities laws.

Options may also be granted to a corporation, which is wholly‐owned by an Eligible Optionee, if the corporation agrees not to effect or permit any transfer of ownership or option of shares of such corporation, nor to issue further shares of any class in such corporation to any other individual or entity, as long as any Options granted to the corporation remain outstanding, without the prior written consent of the Exchange. Unless the context otherwise requires, the term Eligible Optionee as used herein shall include any such corporation.

(6) Granting of Options

The Board may from time‐to‐time grant Options to Eligible Optionees. At the time an Option is granted, the Board shall determine the number of Shares of the Corporation available for purchase under the Option and subject to the other provisions of the Plan, all other terms and conditions of the Option. The Shares to be issued to Option Holders upon the exercise of Options shall be allotted and authorized for issuance by the Board prior to the exercise thereof. An Eligible Optionee may hold more than one Option at any time, however:

(a) at no time shall the number of Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to Options granted to any one Eligible Optionee exceed 5% of the issued Shares;
(b) no one Eligible Optionee may be granted, in any twelve (12) month period, Options to purchase a number of Shares equal to more than 5% of the issued Shares at the Award Date (on a non‐diluted basis);

(c) An Option Holder may exercise an Option in whole or in part at any time or from time‐to‐ time during the Exercise Period provided that, with respect to the exercise of part of an Option, the Board may at any time and from time to time, subject to subsection (d), fix limits, vesting requirements or restrictions in respect of which an Option Holder may exercise part of any Option held by him. Any Option or part thereof not exercised within the Exercise Period shall terminate and become null, void and of no effect as of 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the Expiry Date.

(ii) that an Option can be exercisable for an Additional Period or for its remaining term (which Additional Period or remaining term may not exceed one year) after the death of an Eligible Optionee;
(iii) the vesting schedule for Options granted under the Plan;
(iv) that, subject to the approval of the Exchange, an Option may provide for early exercise and/or termination or other adjustment in the event of a death of a person and in other circumstances, such as if the Corporation shall resolve to sell all or substantially all of its assets, to liquidate or dissolve, or to merge, amalgamate, consolidate or be absorbed with or into any other corporation, if a take‐over bid is made for Shares of the Corporation, or if any change of control of the Corporation occurs.
(g) In the event that the Option Holder should die while he or she is still a Director, Employee or Consultant, as applicable, the Expiry Date shall be twelve (12) months from the date of death of the Option Holder.

(12) Exercise of Option

An Option may be exercised only by the Option Holder or his Personal Representative.

MANAGEMENT CIRCULAR PROXY 36

(13) Issue of Share Certificates

As soon as practicable following the receipt of the Exercise Notice, the Administrator shall cause to be delivered to the Option Holder a certificate for the Shares so purchased. If the number of Shares so purchased is less than the number of Shares subject to the Option Certificate surrendered, the Administrator shall forward a new Option Certificate to the Option Holder concurrently with delivery of the aforesaid share certificate for the balance of the Shares available under the Option.

(14) Exercise Restrictions

The Board may, at the time an Option is awarded or upon renegotiation of the same, attach restrictions relating to the exercise of the Option, including vesting provisions. Any such restrictions shall be recorded on the applicable Option Certificate.

(15) Payment of Exercise Price

All Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option shall be paid for in full in Canadian funds at the time of exercise of the Option and prior to the issue of the shares. All Shares issued in accordance with the foregoing shall be issued as fully paid and non‐assessable Shares.

(16) Non‐Exercise

If any Stock Option granted pursuant to the Plan is not exercised for any reason whatsoever, upon the expiry of such Stock Option pursuant to the terms of its grant or the terms of such plan, the shares reserved and authorized for issuance pursuant to such Stock Option shall be available for subsequent Stock Options under the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at no time shall there be outstanding under the Plan Stock Options exceeding, in the aggregate, the number of Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to Stock Options under the Plan.

(17) Non‐Assignability

Other than a limited right of assignment, subject to the terms upon which the Option is granted, in the event of the death of an Eligible Optionee to allow the exercise of Stock Options by the Eligible Optionee's legal representative, Stock Options granted hereunder shall not be assignable or transferable.

(18) Adjustment in Certain Circumstances

Prior to the complete exercise of any Option, in the event:

(a) of any change in the Shares through subdivision, consolidation, reclassification, amalgamation, merger or otherwise; or
(b) of any stock dividend to holders of Shares (other than such stock dividends issued at the option of shareholders of the Corporation in lieu of substantially equivalent cash dividends); or
(c) that any rights are granted to holders of Shares to purchase Shares at prices substantially below fair market value; or
(d) that as a result of any recapitalization, merger, consolidation or otherwise the Shares are converted into or exchangeable for any other shares;

then in any such case the Board may make such adjustment in the Plan and in the Options granted

MANAGEMENT CIRCULAR PROXY

under the Plan as the Board may in its sole discretion deem appropriate to prevent substantial dilution or enlargement of the rights granted to, or available for, holders of Options, and such adjustments may be included in the Options.

No fractional Shares shall be issued upon the exercise of the Options and accordingly, if as a result of the event an Option Holder would become entitled to a fractional share, such Option Holder shall have the right to purchase only the next lowest whole number of Shares and no payment or other adjustment will be made with respect to the fractional interest so disregarded. Additionally, no lots of Shares in an amount less than 500 Shares shall be issued upon the exercise of the Options unless such amount of Shares represents the balance left to be exercised under the Options.

An Option Holder who performs Investor Relations Activities shall provide written notice to the Board of each of his trades of securities of the Corporation, within five (5) business days of each trade.

(20) Expenses

All expenses in connection with the Plan shall be borne by the Corporation.

(21) Withholding Taxes

The exercise of each Option granted under this Plan is subject to the condition that if at any time the Corporation determines, in its discretion, that the satisfaction of withholding tax or other withholding liabilities is required under applicable law in respect of such exercise, such exercise is not effective unless such withholding has been effected to the satisfaction of the Corporation. In such circumstances, the Corporation may require that an Option Holder pay to the Corporation, in addition to and in the same manner as the Exercise Price for the Shares, such amount as the Corporation is obliged to remit to the relevant taxing authority in respect of the exercise of the Option. Any such additional payment is due no later than the date as of which any amount with respect to the Option exercised first becomes includable in the gross income of the Option Holder for tax purposes.

(22) Compliance with Laws

The Corporation shall not be obliged to issue any shares upon exercise of Options if the issue would violate any law or regulation or any rule of any governmental authority or stock exchange. The Corporation shall not be required to issue, register or qualify for resale any shares issuable upon exercise of Options pursuant to the provisions of a prospectus or similar document, provided that the Corporation shall notify the Exchange or any other stock exchange on which the shares of the Corporation are listed and any other appropriate regulatory bodies in Canada of the existence of the Plan and the issuance and exercise of Options. The Option Holder agrees to comply with all such laws, rules and regulations and agrees to furnish to the Corporation any information, report and/or undertakings required to comply with and to fully cooperate with the Corporation in complying with such laws, rules and regulations.

(23) Disinterested Shareholder Approval

Disinterested shareholder approval shall be obtained by the Corporation prior to any reduction in the Exercise Price if the Eligible Optionee is an Insider of the Corporation at the time of a proposed reduction of the Exercise Price.

(24) Form of Option Agreement

(25) Amendments to the Plan

(a) The Board may, at any time and from time to time, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan without shareholder approval, provided that no such amendment, suspension or termination may be made without obtaining any requisite regulatory or Exchange approval or the consent or deemed consent of an Optionholder where such amendment, suspension or termination materially prejudices the rights of the Optionholder.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of 25(a), the Board may not, without the prior approval of the shareholders of the Corporation, make amendments to the Plan for any of the following purposes:
(i) to increase in the maximum number of Shares issuable under the Plan as set out in Section 3;
(ii) to reduce the Exercise Price of outstanding Options,
(iii) to cancel an Option for the purpose of exchange for reissuance at a lower Exercise Price to the same person;
(iv) to extend the Expiry Date of an outstanding Option, except where the Expiry Date is extended because it would have occurred during a Black Out Period;
(v) to extend the Expiry Date of an outstanding Option, except where the Expiry date has been accelerated due to the death, termination upon retirement, termination by reason of disability or otherwise of the Optionee, provided however, that the Option cannot be extended beyond the Expiry Date originally set at the time of the Option grant;
(vi) to amend the Plan to permit the grant of an Option with an Expiry Date of more

MANAGEMENT CIRCULAR PROXY

than ten (10) years from the Award Date;

(vii) to amend the transferability provision of the Plan, other than to permitted assigns or for estate planning or estate settlement purposes;
(viii) to amend this Section 25(b); and

(26) Termination of the Plan

The Board may terminate this Plan at any time provided that such termination shall not alter the terms or conditions of any Option or impair any right of any Option Holder pursuant to any Option awarded prior to the date of such termination and notwithstanding such termination the Corporation, such Options and such Option Holders shall continue to be governed by the provisions of this Plan.

(27) Delegation of Administration of the Plan

Subject to the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) or any other legislation governing the Corporation, the Plan shall be administered by the Board, or an Administrator on the instructions of the Board or such committee of the Board formed in respect of matters relating to the Plan.
