Keyera Corp. — 2026 Management Information Circular
Message from our Board Chair and CEO
Dear fellow Shareholders:
2025 was a defining year for Keyera. We strengthened the foundation of our business, advanced our strategic priorities, and positioned the company for a step change in growth. Through disciplined execution and clear direction, we advanced our integrated value chain and continued to build a business designed to deliver durable, long-term value for our shareholders.
This progress comes at a time when the global energy dynamic continues to shift. Demand is rising, while affordability and supply security remain critical priorities. At the same time, markets around the world are increasingly seeking reliable energy from trusted sources. Canada is uniquely poised to meet that need, and Keyera will play a vital role in delivering that energy by providing the infrastructure that will safely, efficiently, and responsibly connect supply from the wellhead to key NGL end markets.
As an organization, we are building strong momentum through decisive action and continuous improvement across every part of the business. In 2025, Keyera sanctioned three major growth projects, completed a strategic tuck in acquisition in Gathering and Processing, and announced the proposed acquisition of Plains' Canadian NGL business. Once complete, this transaction will expand our national platform and market access, as well as further enable reinvestment in Canada. It will position Keyera to deliver greater reliability and competitiveness for customers while supporting greater economic growth. Together with record annual fee-based segment margin contributions, these advancements highlight the resilience of our business model and the value of our integrated infrastructure.
Equally as important to what we do is how we operate and deliver. Every decision we make and every action we take is guided by our purpose and rooted in the values that define Keyera. We invest in our people whose skill, judgement, and dedication are essential to achieving our goals. We commit to responsible environmental stewardship, reducing our emissions intensity, and cultivating long-term and mutually beneficial relationships with partners, stakeholders, Indigenous nations, and communities where we serve. Perhaps most importantly, we relentlessly focus on delivering exceptional service to our customers, knowing that their success drives our business and generates lasting value for our shareholders.
Looking ahead, the foundation we reinforced in 2025 positions us well for a transformational 2026. The integration of the Plains business will be a principal priority, alongside the successful execution of our capital program. We are focused on capturing the full value of recent investments, advancing growth opportunities, and preserving financial strength.
Across all that we do, our priorities remain clear: safe and reliable operations, environmental and operational excellence, and maintaining the trust of those we serve. Keyera is ready to lead in Canada's energy future while delivering sustainable, long-term shareholder value for decades to come.
Our performance(1)
Our results in 2025 reflect the strength of our integrated business and the responsible way with which we operate. Across financial performance, operational execution, and sustainability, Keyera continued to demonstrate consistency, resilience, and a clear focus on creating sustainable value for shareholders.
Keyera achieved distributable cash flow (DCF) per share of $3.35 and annual adjusted EBITDA of $1.16 billion, both figures exclude acquisition related costs. We ended the year with a robust balance sheet, maintaining a net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio of 1.8x, below our target range of 2.5x to 3.0x. We also increased our quarterly dividend from $0.52 to $0.54, or $2.16 annually. Our fee-for-service realized margin reached a record $1.03 billion, reflecting increased asset utilization. We also advanced several capital-efficient growth projects, including the Frac II debottleneck, Frac III, and KAPS Zone 4.
These results are underpinned by a business model that prioritizes steady, fee-based cash flows, strong asset utilization, and disciplined capital allocation.
- Adjusted EBITDA, distributable cash flow and realized margin are not standard measures under GAAP and may not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other entities. Fee-for-service realized margin includes realized margin for the gathering and processing and liquids infrastructure segments. Realized margin is defined as operating margin excluding unrealized gains and losses on commodity-related risk management contracts. Please see "Non-GAAP Measures" attached to this circular as Schedule "C".
Keyera Corp. — 2026 Management Information Circular
In 2025, we also made meaningful progress against our sustainability priorities, achieving a 25% reduction in equity-based scope 1 & 2 GHG emissions intensity, meeting our ambitious target one year ahead of schedule. This progress is the result of deliberate investments, operational improvements, and a commitment to doing the right things in the right way.
Safety remains at the core of everything we do and how we do it. We are proud of our safety record, and we remain vigilant and focused on what matters most. Our priority remains managing critical risks, strengthening our safety programs, and reinforcing a culture where every employee and contractor returns 'Home Safe' each day. This commitment extends beyond our operations. It is integral to how we deliver reliable energy, support the communities where we operate, and take a balanced and pragmatic approach to reducing emissions while supporting energy security.
Governance
Strong governance and effective oversight are central to Keyera's success.
We are pleased to welcome Renee Zemljak to the Board as of January 1, 2026. Her commercial leadership and experience in transformational growth will further enhance the depth and diversity of our Board's already strong capabilities.
At the same time, Thomas O'Connor and Gianna Manes will not be standing for re-election at our annual and special meeting. We extend our sincere thanks for their many years of service and the contributions they have made to Keyera's growth and success.
Additional information on Renee, and the remaining nine Board nominees on pages 26 to 47 of this circular.
Our thanks
Our people are at the heart of our business. Their dedication enables us to provide safe, reliable, and affordable energy solutions every day. We thank the entire Keyera team for bringing our purpose and values to life.
We also appreciate the trust and partnership of our customers, stakeholders, and the communities where we operate.
Finally, we thank you - our shareholders - for your continued confidence and support. We do not take your trust for granted and we remain committed to delivering sustained value for your investment.
Please join us for our Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders on May 14, 2026, beginning at 10:00 a.m. Mountain Daylight Time. Full details are included in this circular.

Conduct of the Meeting

We view the use of technology-enhanced shareholder communications as a method to facilitate individual investor participation and believe it to be consistent with the goals of regulators, stakeholders, and others invested in the corporate governance process. Applying technology to the meeting by allowing virtual participation will make the meeting more relevant, accessible and engaging for all involved, permitting a broader base of shareholders to participate in the meeting, regardless of their geographic location.
Attending the meeting virtually or in person allows registered shareholders and duly appointed proxyholders, including Beneficial Shareholders (defined below) who have appointed themselves as proxyholder, to participate in and vote at the meeting and ask questions, all in real time.

Voting and proxies
Who is seeking my vote?
Management is soliciting your proxy for use at the meeting (or any reconvened meeting if adjourned or postponed). This solicitation is primarily by mail, but can also be made by telephone, via the internet, or other means of communication by directors, officers, or employees of Keyera. Costs of this solicitation will be borne by Keyera.
We have retained Kingsdale Advisors to provide a broad array of strategic advisory, governance, strategic communications, digital, and investor campaign services on a global retainer basis in addition to certain fees accrued during the life of the engagement upon the discretion and direction of the Corporation. Shareholders may contact Kingsdale Advisors, Keyera's strategic advisor by telephone at 1-800-348-1210 (toll-free in North America) or 1-437-561-5014 (text and call enabled outside North America), or by email at [email protected].
Who can vote?
You are entitled to receive notice of and vote at the meeting if you held common shares of Keyera at the close of business on the record date of March 26, 2026. As of the record date, we had 229,292,074 common shares issued and outstanding. Each common share represents the right to one vote on any item of business properly brought before the meeting (or any reconvened meeting, if adjourned or postponed).
Keyera Corp. — 2026 Management Information Circular
If a shareholder of record on the record date transfers ownership of their shares after the record date and not later than ten days before the meeting, the transferee produces properly endorsed share certificates or otherwise establishes they own such shares and demands their name be included on the list of shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting, the transferee will be entitled to vote those shares at the meeting.
To the best of the knowledge of Keyera and its directors and officers, as of the record date, no person or company beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, or exercised control or direction over, more than 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of Keyera.
How can I vote?
How you vote depends on whether you are a registered or non-registered (beneficial) shareholder. How you vote also depends on whether you vote in advance of the meeting or at the meeting (virtually or in-person).
Voting by proxy
Voting by proxy is the easiest way to vote because you are giving someone else the authority to attend the meeting and vote your shares for you (called your proxyholder). If you have given voting instructions in your form of proxy or voting instruction form, as applicable, your proxyholder must vote according to your instructions. See "Beneficial shareholders: Voting instructions – Voting in advance of the meeting" and "Registered shareholders: Voting instructions – Voting in advance of the meeting" sections below.
Voting during the meeting
Attending the meeting (online or in person) gives you an opportunity to hear directly from our management and ask questions. If you are a registered shareholder and you want to attend the meeting and vote your shares, do not complete or return your form of proxy. See "Conduct of the Meeting – How can I attend in person".
If you are a beneficial shareholder and want to attend the meeting and vote your shares, do not complete or return your form of proxy. See "Conduct of the Meeting – How can I attend in person" and "Beneficial shareholders: Voting instructions – Voting at the meeting".
Are you a beneficial shareholder?
If your shares are registered in the name of a nominee (such as a bank, trust company, securities broker, or other intermediary) you are a beneficial (or non-registered) shareholder. In this case, your holdings are recorded in an electronic system.
Keyera primarily uses a "book-based" system administered by CDS & Co. (CDS). In Canada, CDS acts as nominee for many banks, trust companies, and brokerage firms through which beneficial shareholders hold their shares. Many Keyera shares are therefore registered under CDS or its nominee. Keyera does not know for whose benefit the shares registered in the name of CDS are held.
Beneficial shareholders: Voting instructions

If you are a beneficial shareholder, your shares may be registered in the name of a broker or other intermediary, including CDS. Beneficial shareholders who do not object to their name being made known to the Corporation may be contacted by our strategic advisors to assist in conveniently voting their shares directly by telephone. We may also utilize the Broadridge QuickVoteTM service to assist such shareholders with voting their shares.
Voting in advance of the meeting
Voting instructions must be obtained from you by your broker or intermediary in advance of the meeting. Some brokers or intermediaries use a "voting instruction form" to seek instructions on how to vote your shares. Some delegate responsibility to obtain instructions from their clients to Broadridge, which typically mails a voting instruction form. As each intermediary has their own voting and mailing procedures, you must strictly follow the instructions of your intermediary to vote.
If your shares are registered in the name of CDS, they can only be voted in accordance with your specific direction. If your shares are held by CDS, you must provide specific voting instructions through your broker or their agent to vote your shares. Without your specific instructions, your broker or other intermediary (or their nominee) cannot vote your shares.
If you want someone else to vote your shares at the meeting on your behalf, mark your voting instructions in the voting section of the proxy form or voting instruction form and return it, following the instructions provided by your intermediary. You have the right to appoint a person or company to be your proxyholder and to act on your behalf at the meeting other than the persons designated in the proxy form or voting instruction form provided. This person need not be a Keyera shareholder. To have another person vote on your behalf at the meeting, follow the voting instructions in the enclosed proxy form. Register them as your proxyholder by emailing [email protected] by 10 a.m. MDT on or before May 12, 2026 and provide Odyssey with contact information for your proxyholder who will receive a control number via email. Failure to register the proxyholder will result in the proxyholder not receiving a control number, which will preclude them from voting in-person or online at the meeting.
If you do not appoint a proxyholder to vote on your behalf, the individuals named on the proxy form, Jim Bertram and Dean Setoguchi (the "management appointees"), will serve as your proxyholder and vote your shares in accordance with your instructions. If you do not specify your instructions, the management appointees will vote FOR each item of business at the meeting, as described in "Voting by proxy: voting by your proxyholder" below.
Voting at the meeting
To participate and vote at the meeting (online or in person), you must appoint yourself as proxyholder by: (i) inserting your name on the voting instruction form; and (ii) returning it in accordance with instructions provided by your intermediary. Your voting instruction form may also have a box where you can indicate that you intend to vote at the meeting. For questions regarding your voting instructions form, contact your intermediary for instructions.
To vote at the meeting, make arrangements with your intermediary well in advance of the meeting. Advance arrangements are also required if your shares are held in the name of CDS, as Keyera is unable to recognize you for purposes of voting your shares at the meeting (or depositing a proxy form).
To vote at the meeting, return your completed voting instruction form to your intermediary in accordance with their instructions. You cannot register with Odyssey to vote at the meeting if your voting instruction form has not been returned to your intermediary prior to the meeting in accordance with their instructions. Once the instructions and deadline prescribed by your intermediary have been followed (consistent with the "Voting by Proxy" section below) you must register as a proxyholder. To do so, you must email [email protected] by 10 a.m. MDT on or
Keyera Corp. — 2026 Management Information Circular
before May 12, 2026 and provide Odyssey with proxyholder contact information including their email address, number of shares appointed and the name in which the shares are registered.

Keyera Corp. — 2020 Management Information Circular 20
Business of the meeting
Keyera Corp. — 2026 Management Information Circular 21
Business of the meeting
The meeting will address the business items below. An item is approved where a simple majority (50% plus one) of shareholders represented in person or by proxy at the meeting vote FOR the resolution, except the election of directors, which is subject to our Majority Voting Policy (described at page 59). The vote on executive pay is advisory and non-binding in nature. Information on each business item is provided below.
1. Receive our financial statements
At the meeting, we will present our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, together with the auditors' report. Our financial statements have been audited by our external auditors, Deloitte, Chartered Professional Accountants, reviewed by our Audit Committee, and approved by the Board. They have also been provided to each shareholder who requested a copy. Copies are available online at www.keyera.com or www.sedarplus.ca or can be requested from Investor Relations either at [email protected] or using the contact information on page 58.
2. Elect our directors
The Board has determined to nominate ten directors for election to our Board. Our director nominees are:
Jim Bertram Bob Pritchard
Isabelle Brassard Charlene Ripley
Michael Crothers Dean Setoguchi
Blair Goertzen Janet Woodruff
T. Tim Kitchen Renee Zemljak
All ten director nominees are current members of our Board. Each of our director nominees (except our CEO, Dean Setoguchi) is independent. Mr. Thomas O'Connor and Mrs. Gianna Manes will retire from the Board effective May 14, 2026 and are therefore not standing for re-election this year.
Renee Zemljak is standing for election as a director for the first time. She was appointed to the Board effective January 1, 2026, by Board resolution. Information about each director nominee, including their respective experience and expertise, share ownership and public company directorships, is provided starting at page 25.
All our director nominees (excluding Renee Zemljak) were elected to the Board at our 2025 annual and special meeting, with average support (or FOR votes) of 96.56%. Elected directors will hold office until the earlier of the next annual meeting of shareholders, or their successor is elected or appointed. Detailed information about our respective director nominees is provided starting at page 25.
The Board has adopted a policy that requires, in an "uncontested" election of directors, that shareholders be able to vote for, or withhold from voting, separately for each director nominee (Majority Voting Policy). If, with respect to any particular director nominee, the number of votes "withheld" from voting by shareholders exceeds the number of votes "for" the nominee by shareholders, then although the director nominee will have been successfully elected to the Board pursuant to applicable corporate laws, he or she will be required to promptly tender his or her resignation to the Chair of the Governance & Sustainability Committee (GSC) following the meeting of shareholders at which the director was so elected. The GSC will consider such resignation offer and will accept the resignation except in extenuating circumstances which, in the opinion of the GSC after due consideration, warrant the resigning director's continued service on the Board. The resignation will be effective when accepted by the GSC.
The GSC will make its decision and announce it in a press release within 90 days following the applicable meeting of shareholders. A director who tenders his or her resignation pursuant to the Majority Voting Policy will not participate in any meeting of the GSC at which the resignation is considered.
The proxy form allows shareholders to vote FOR all nominated directors, vote FOR some of them and WITHHOLD their vote for others, or WITHHOLD their vote for all of them.
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS SHAREHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE ELECTION OF OUR NOMINATED DIRECTORS
Unless instructed otherwise, the management appointees will vote FOR all nominated directors.
Keyera Corp. — 2026 Management Information Circular
3. Appoint the auditors
The Board is in agreement with the recommendation of the Audit Committee that shareholders re-appoint Deloitte as our independent auditors, to hold office for a one-year term until the close of our next annual meeting and authorize the Board to fix their remuneration. Deloitte is independent within the meaning of the Rules of Professional Conduct of the Chartered Professional Accountants of Alberta and has been our independent auditor since 2003. In accordance with these rules, the lead partner is limited to participating on an audit engagement to no more than seven years. The last rotation of the lead partner occurred in 2023.
In alignment with our commitment to corporate governance best practices, Keyera conducted a comprehensive and competitive external audit tender process during 2023 and early 2024. The Audit Committee consulted with the appropriate members of the Executive Leadership team and other stakeholder groups; including the supply chain and internal audit functions, to determine the necessary objectives and requirements of the evaluation and selection process. This included requirements to ensure an equitable, independent, and effective process, and included the consideration of shareholder expectations regarding the external audit function. After a robust tender process and review, the Audit Committee selected the firm that best met the evaluation criteria and objectives and provided their recommendation to the Board.
The Audit Committee reviews all audit plans, annual engagement letters and any non-audit engagements of the external auditors including all corresponding fees. Fees paid to the auditors are negotiated and reviewed by the Audit Committee and recommended to the Board for approval. Fees are based on the nature and complexity of the engagement, and auditors' time to complete the services. The Board believes fees paid to Deloitte in 2025 are both reasonable and comparable to those charged by other auditors providing similar services.
All audit and non-audit services provided to Keyera for the year ended December 31, 2025 were reviewed by the Audit Committee and approved by the Board.
At our 2025 annual and special meeting, the appointment of Deloitte as independent auditors was approved by 82% of votes cast. Fees paid to Deloitte in the last two financial years are shown in the following table:
| 2025 | 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Audit fees(1) | $926,804 | $987,908 |
| Audit-related fees(2) | $271,056 | $263,707 |
| Tax fees | $0 | $0 |
| All other fees(3) | $271,676 | $13,827 |
| Total | $1,469,536 | $1,265,442 |
- Fees for core audit services, such as independent audit and review of Keyera's annual and quarterly financial statements and ongoing regulatory filings.
- Fees for services related to financings, review related to non-routine regulatory filings, including prospectuses, and translation.
- Fees for all other approved non-audited related services, including an additional fee tied to the Plains acquisition incurred in 2025, other than those described above.
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS SHAREHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE APPOINTMENT OF DELOITTE LLP AS AUDITORS AND AUTHORIZE THE DIRECTORS TO FIX THEIR REMUNERATION
Unless instructed otherwise, the management appointees will vote FOR the appointment of Deloitte as auditors.
4. Reconfirm and Approve Our Shareholder Rights Plan
At the meeting, shareholders will be asked to vote on continuing our existing shareholder rights plan dated as of March 14, 2017 (the SRP) between Keyera and Odyssey, as rights agent.
The SRP must be approved by shareholders every three years. The current SRP was approved by our Board on March 17, 2017 and by our shareholders on May 9, 2017. The SRP was last reconfirmed and approved by shareholders on May 9, 2023. Shareholders will be asked at the meeting to vote to reconfirm and approve the SRP to continue it in its current form for another three-year period.
Under provincial securities regulations, a take-over bid generally means an offer to acquire voting securities of a person or persons, where the securities subject to the offer to acquire, together with securities already owned by the bidder and certain related parties, constitute 20 percent or more of the outstanding securities.
Keyera Corp. — 2026 Management Information Circular
Notwithstanding the protections afforded by securities regulations, there are still concerns related to the potential for unequal shareholder treatment due to the possibility that control of Keyera could be acquired pursuant to a private agreement under which one or a small group of shareholders dispose of shares at a premium to market price, which premium is not shared with the other shareholders. In addition, a person may slowly accumulate shares through stock exchange acquisitions which may result, over time, in an acquisition of control without payment of fair value for control or a fair sharing of a control premium among all shareholders.
The primary objectives of the SRP are to provide the Board with sufficient time to consider and, if appropriate, to explore and develop alternatives for maximizing shareholder value if a take-over bid is made for Keyera, and to provide every shareholder with an equal opportunity to participate in such a bid. It does so by encouraging a potential bidder to proceed either by way of a "Permitted Bid" (as defined in the SRP and provided in Schedule "A", and which requires the take-over bid to satisfy certain minimum standards designed to promote fairness) or with the concurrence of the Board. A summary of the principal terms of the SRP is provided in Schedule "A" – Shareholder rights plan summary. A copy of the full SRP is available on our website at www.keyera.com.
Odyssey was appointed as rights agent pursuant to a rights agent assumption agreement dated January 20, 2023 among Computershare Trust Company of Canada (the Original Rights Agent), Odyssey and Keyera (the Assumption Agreement). Under the Assumption Agreement, Odyssey agreed to assume all of the rights, duties, powers and obligations of the Original Rights Agent under the SRP, other than the indemnity in favour of the Original Rights Agent for matters occurring before January 20, 2023.
The SRP applies to the common shares, securities that are convertible into shares, as well as any other shares with voting rights that may be issued by Keyera. Currently, the common shares are the only class of shares issued and outstanding. Should Keyera issue a new class of voting shares in the future, the SRP would apply to those voting shares in the same manner described in this section. Keyera does not have any present intention of issuing any other class of voting shares.
The Board is not recommending reconfirmation and approval of the SRP in response to or in contemplation of any known take-over bid or other similar transaction. Neither management nor the Board is aware of any pending, threatened or proposed acquisition or take-over bid of Keyera. The SRP is also not intended as a means to prevent a take-over of Keyera, to secure the continuance of management or the Board in their respective offices, or to deter fair offers for the shares. In the event of a take-over bid or similar transaction, the Board will continue to have the right and responsibility to take such action and to make such recommendations to shareholders as may be considered necessary or appropriate in the circumstances.
The Board has determined that the SRP continues to be in the best interests of Keyera and our shareholders. At the Meeting, shareholders will have the opportunity to consider and, if deemed advisable, approve the following binding resolution:
"BE IT RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution that:
-
The shareholder rights plan (the Shareholder Rights Plan), as described in Keyera's management information circular, be continued and the shareholder rights plan agreement dated as of March 14, 2017 between Keyera and Odyssey (as successor to Computershare Trust Company of Canada), as rights agent, be and is hereby ratified, confirmed and approved.
-
The making on or prior to the date hereof of any amendments to the Shareholder Rights Plan as Keyera may consider necessary or advisable to satisfy the requirements of any stock exchange or professional commentators on shareholder rights plans in order to conform the Shareholder Rights Plan to versions of shareholder rights plans currently prevalent for reporting issuers in Canada is hereby approved.
-
Any one or more directors or officers of Keyera are hereby authorized, for and on behalf of Keyera, to take, or cause to be taken, any and all such acts and things and to execute and deliver, under the corporate seal of Keyera or otherwise, the agreement referred to above and any other agreements, instruments, notices, consents, acknowledgments, certificates, assurances and other documents (including any documents required under applicable laws or regulatory policies) and to perform and do all such other acts and things as such director or officer may consider necessary or advisable to give effect to the foregoing resolutions, such determination to be conclusively evidenced by the taking of any such action or such director's or officer's execution and delivery of any such agreement, instrument, notice, consent, acknowledgement, certificate, assurance or other document.
-
Notwithstanding the passing of this resolution by the shareholders, the Board of Directors may revoke this resolution before it is acted upon, without further approval of the shareholders, if the Board of Directors determines, in its sole discretion."
Keyera Corp. — 2026 Management Information Circular
To be approved, this resolution must be approved by a simple majority (50 percent plus one) of the votes cast thereon by the "Independent Shareholders" (as defined in the SRP, but generally meaning any shareholder other than an "Acquiring Person" (as defined in the SRP) or a person making a take-over bid for Keyera, and their associates and affiliates). Keyera is not currently aware of any shareholder whose votes will be ineligible to be counted towards the ordinary resolution to approve the ratification of the continuation of the SRP or any shareholders that would not qualify as Independent Shareholders.
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS SHAREHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE ABOVE RESOLUTION TO RECONFIRM AND APPROVE OUR SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN
Unless otherwise directed, the management appointees will vote FOR the above resolution authorizing the reconfirmation and approval of the SRP.
5. Approach to executive compensation
Consistent with our commitment to strong corporate governance, the Board is once again providing shareholders the opportunity to vote on our approach to executive compensation (say on pay vote). This year represents our thirteenth consecutive say on pay vote at our annual meeting. Over the past three years, our say on pay vote has received average support of 97% of votes cast at our annual meeting. At our 2025 annual and special meeting, our compensation approach was also supported by over 96% of votes cast at the meeting.
Although this resolution is non-binding, results of the vote and shareholder feedback regarding our compensation approach are carefully considered by the Board when making decisions regarding our program, as well as executive pay.
At the meeting, shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, approve the following non-binding resolution:
"BE IT RESOLVED THAT, on an advisory basis, and not to diminish the role and responsibilities of the Board of Directors of Keyera Corp., shareholders accept the approach to executive compensation as described in the compensation discussion and analysis section of Keyera's management information circular delivered in advance of the 2026 meeting of shareholders."
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS SHAREHOLDERS VOTE FOR OUR APPROACH TO EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Unless otherwise directed, the management appointees will vote FOR the approach to executive compensation, as described in this circular.
6. Other business
Other business properly brought before the meeting may also be addressed at the meeting. As of the date of this circular, the Board and management are not aware of any other items of business to be brought before the meeting.

To ensure effective stewardship of key corporate governance areas, the Board has adopted a formal standing committee structure. Each committee has written terms of reference and position descriptions for their respective chairs. Committee mandates are reviewed on an annual basis. Directors serving on all committees must be independent within the meaning of National Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees (NI 52-110). In 2025, the Board had four standing committees:
- Audit Committee,
- Human Resources Committee,
- Governance and Sustainability Committee, and

Committees assist the Board in the oversight of our financial management and reporting, environmental, health, and safety performance, corporate governance, ESG, sustainability and climate, safety and environment, as well as human resources and compensation practices. Committees are assisted by independent advisors who provide advice on key matters within the committees' respective mandates.
Activities and decisions arising from each committee, including recommendations to the Board, are formally reported by each committee chair to the full Board following each meeting.

Role of the Board
The Board is responsible for overseeing the Corporation's strategy, financial and business affairs, and enterprise risk management framework. The Board also oversees our approach to corporate governance, including sustainability, ESG matters, executive compensation, and ensures we have the policies and controls in place to promote principled, ethical business conduct.
Our Board is governed by a written Board mandate, attached as Schedule "B" to this circular. The Board mandate, as well as written position descriptions for the Board Chair, independent lead director, and our CEO, are all available at www.keyera.com.
Strategic planning
Keyera's vision is to be the North American leader in delivering energy infrastructure solutions. In support of this vision, Keyera is committed to delivering steady disciplined growth to create long-term value for shareholders. The four pillars of Keyera's strategy are to:
Drive competitiveness of our assets
Strengthen our Integrated value-chain
Ensure long-term business sustainability
Demonstrate financial discipline
The Board plays an integral role in the development and ongoing evaluation of Keyera's strategy. Progress against our strategic objectives is monitored through management updates at each Board meeting. The Board also holds an annual two-day strategy session to examine long-term forecasts, macro considerations, and emerging opportunities and risks for our business. The session includes presentations from external speakers on key issues relevant to our business and industry, and from our next level leaders and emerging talent which provide further insight into key business and operational matters.
Keyera Corp. — 2026 Management Information Circular
Financial oversight
The Board oversees the Corporation's financial management and reporting. Assisted by the Audit Committee, the Board reviews and approves our annual and quarterly financial statements, accompanying MD&A and earnings releases, as well as financing strategies, participation in the capital markets and related disclosures. It also oversees compliance with applicable audit, accounting, and financial reporting requirements. Each year, the Board also reviews and approves our annual operating and capital budgets.
The Board is responsible for ensuring robust procedures and internal controls are in place for financial reporting, internal audit, fraud and auditing matters, as well as for the reporting and investigations of complaints, including to our whistleblower hotline.
Risk management
The Board is responsible for overseeing our enterprise risk management (ERM) framework. Principal risks to our business and strategy are reviewed regularly by the Board to ensure risks are appropriately identified and mitigated. This includes oversight of sustainability and ESG-related risks.
The Board's oversight of enterprise risk is also supported by its committee structure. Each committee oversees risks within their specific mandate and, where appropriate, engages independent advisors to provide objective perspectives to assist these efforts. Coordinated Board oversight is maintained through committee chairs, who formally report on committee activities at each Board meeting. Individual director perspectives on enterprise risk are also solicited through our formal annual Board effectiveness evaluation and during one-on-one discussions with our Board Chair.
The ERM framework and the top risks are reviewed on a regular basis. In 2023, the Board updated the ERM framework to align with Keyera's corporate strategy. This was the first update to the framework since the initial assessment completed in 2021. Keyera's most material risks were updated and a renewed ERM mitigation and reporting framework was developed, which management shares with the Board at each regular meeting.
Detailed information about material risks applicable to Keyera are found in the "Risk Factors" section of our 2025 AIF available at www.keyera.com or www.sedarplus.ca.
ESG oversight
Regular, structured oversight of material ESG-related risks and opportunities is integral to maintaining long-term corporate resilience. The full Board oversees our approach to ESG and sustainability matters and performance, with the support of the four standing Board committees, including a dedicated GSC. The GSC is accountable for ensuring appropriate frameworks are in place to identify and manage key sustainability risks and opportunities, monitoring Keyera's sustainability and climate performance, and reviewing Keyera's sustainability-related reporting and disclosures. A key component of their sustainability oversight includes regular evaluation of feedback received from stakeholders, including our shareholders. The GSC reviewed our 2025 sustainability and climate performance and 2025 GHG reduction targets, and reviews on a quarterly basis our progress, relative to our 2035 GHG reduction targets.
The full Board receives updates on our sustainability and climate-related performance and progress on a quarterly basis. Additionally, the Board incorporates sustainability and climate matters during their annual strategic planning process, annual review of enterprise risks, and shareholder engagement activities.
Sustainability priorities
Under the guidance of the GSC, Keyera conducted a formal double materiality assessment in 2025 to help us better understand what sustainability topics are most important to our business and to our shareholders, Indigenous rightsholders and stakeholders. With the support of an independent third-party, we engaged with internal representatives and external stakeholders to evaluate sustainability topics in terms of their potential impact on Keyera's financial performance, as well as the impact these topics could have on people and the environment. Through this assessment, six near-term sustainability priorities were identified.
Keyera Corp. — 2026 Management Information Circular
Near-term sustainability priorities
Safety, Security & Integrity
GHG Emissions
Indigenous Relationships
Community Relationships
People & Culture
The results of the materiality assessment guide the inclusion of sustainability into corporate strategy over the near and longer-term, and ensure we are focused on sustainability matters that have the most impact on our business. Under the oversight of the Board, Keyera continues to advance the integration of these material sustainability considerations into core strategic and risk management processes, including our capital allocation, ERM, business planning and budgeting, and project delivery frameworks. For example, Keyera's capital allocation framework includes comprehensive emissions modelling as well as the evaluation of other material sustainability topics. This approach ensures Keyera's investment decisions include considerations of key sustainability priorities.
Keyera intends to continue to reduce emissions intensity from base operations by pursuing operational efficiencies, optimizing the utilization of our assets, investing in technology, and supporting renewable energy.
Safety and Integrity
Safety is not just a priority at Keyera – it is a key value. Safety is at the heart of everything we do and is embedded into the day-to-day work and management of Keyera operations through use of Operational Excellence Management System (OEMS). OEMS is a comprehensive framework that proactively identifies and mitigates risks through a systematic approach to continuous improvement. It ensures the consistent application of procedures for safe operating practices, hazard assessments, document control, and maintenance protocols. To ensure it effectively manages risk at each stage of project development, Keyera's OEMS has been integrated into our project delivery system, with an enhanced focus on process safety.
Protection of our people, community, and assets starts with reliable pipelines and facilities. Our integrity and reliability management (IRM) systems provide comprehensive frameworks to proactively identify risks, monitor our assets, and ensure consistent maintenance practices are observed across our operations. These IRM systems and corresponding integrity management plans are regularly audited by third parties and regulators. Our IRM program includes: regular, priority-based in-line inspections and surveys; 24-hour monitoring of our pipelines; a geohazard risk monitoring program that tracks ground, slope, and high-water disturbances in real time; water crossings and slope inspections for pipelines; application of chemicals, coatings, and cathodic protection to prevent corrosion; comprehensive programs for assessing, prioritizing, and completing system repairs; and detailed maintenance and turnaround plans.
Reporting and disclosure
As part of our commitment to transparent and high-quality disclosure, Keyera releases a full sustainability report every two years, with performance updates on alternate years. Keyera's sustainability disclosures are developed based on guidance from international reporting frameworks such as the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) Foundation's International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB)—Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB), as well as the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI).

We plan to release a full sustainability report in 2026. More information about our annual performance scorecard is provided starting at page 83.
Cyber risk oversight
Keyera utilizes a number of information technology systems for the management of its business and the operation of its facilities. Structured oversight of cybersecurity risks is integral to the reliability and security of these systems. The Board, assisted by the Audit Committee, is responsible for monitoring Keyera's approach to cybersecurity and for reviewing the management of risks associated with Keyera's information technology systems, including the effectiveness of Keyera's cybersecurity practices and the identification, mitigation and oversight related to the development, implementation and use of artificial intelligence technologies.
Keyera management regularly updates the Audit Committee and the Board on existing and emerging cybersecurity issues and steps Keyera is taking to mitigate related cybersecurity risks. These quarterly updates include information provided by internal and external experts. Additionally, the Audit Committee receives continuing education on cybersecurity, artificial intelligence and associated risk mitigation throughout the year. See: "Serving as a director – Continuing education" on page 60.
Executive compensation
All decisions involving CEO and executive compensation are reviewed by the HRC and approved by the Board. This oversight ensures that our program design and corresponding pay outcomes align with our commitment to pay for performance. More information on our approach to executive compensation is provided in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis (CD&A), starting at page 74.
Board succession
Board succession planning is a key responsibility of the Board. Each year, the Board, with the assistance of the GSC, reviews Board composition, skill, and tenure, including relative to our director skills matrix, to identify the skills and experience desired for potential director candidates. This process is supported by formal processes, including our annual Board and director effectiveness evaluation. In 2025, our director skills matrix was updated to reflect the range of skills and experience required by the Board. Our director skills matrix is set out at page 62.
In 2025, Mr. Thomas O'Connor and Mrs. Gianna Manes confirmed that they will retire from the Board and are not standing for re-election at the meeting. The GSC engaged a third-party firm to identify and evaluate external candidates to join the Board. The GSC then conducted interviews and recommended the nominees to the Board. For further details on the Board renewal process and what the Board looks for when considering new board nominee candidates refer to "Board renewal" in this circular.
Keyera Corp. — 2026 Management Information Circular
Leadership succession
The Board oversees succession planning in respect of our CEO and senior executive team. Assisted by the HRC, the Board reviews executive succession on an ongoing basis, and formally at its June meeting. To assist these efforts, Keyera engages external consultants to assist in the leadership development for our senior executives, including potential internal CEO successors.
Leadership diversity
Board diversity
Effective governance requires diverse perspectives, as well as open and constructive debate, among our directors. The Board's approach is outlined in our Board renewal guidelines and Board renewal policy, which provide our written policy on diversity. When evaluating potential director candidates, and in accordance with our Board renewal guidelines, the Board considers many characteristics including age, ethnicity, gender, geographic representation, and relevant business and/or functional experience.
In respect of gender specifically, given our relatively high proportion of female directors since 2017, the Board currently does not use mandatory quantitative targets or quotas. The Board considers gender diversity to be an important consideration in evaluating Board composition and identifying potential director nominees and as such the identification of potential female director nominees is an ongoing aspect of our Board succession planning process. The Board continues to actively monitor its approach, as well as the composition of the Board, relative to its longstanding commitment to diversity, as well as the expectations of our shareholders and other stakeholders.
In respect of our independent director nominees standing for election at this meeting, four of the nine (or 44%) are women.
PERCENTAGE OF INDEPENDENT FEMALE DIRECTOR NOMINEES
Management diversity
The Board is responsible for ensuring we continue to attract and retain highly qualified senior executives with the experience and breadth of perspective needed to advance our strategic objectives. In respect of diversity, the Board seeks to ensure that our senior executive team is not only high performing but also reflects our workforce and strengthens our organizational culture. In 2025, three of our six senior executives (or 50%) were women and two of our six senior executives (or 33%) were visible minorities.


In respect of gender specifically, given our high proportion of female senior executives, the Board currently does not use mandatory quantitative targets or quotas for women in senior executive positions. However, the Board and our executive team continue to seek ways to increase gender and other forms of diversity within our leadership and technical talent base. To enhance awareness and sensitivity within our workforce, Keyera has also engaged external diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) experts and requires all employees to attend DEI training. Keyera has also enhanced
Keyera Corp. — 2026 Management Information Circular
its external candidate applicant process to capture diversity statistics through a self-disclosure process. In addition, gender distribution analytics and data tracking form a key part of internal succession planning processes.
The Board continues to actively monitor these approaches, as well as the composition of our senior executive team, relative to its longstanding commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion and the expectations of our shareholders and other stakeholders.
Ethical business conduct
The Board fosters a culture of accountability and integrity, through policies and practices intended to promote ethical business conduct, as well as detect and address potential wrongdoing.
Keyera's commitment to ethical conduct is articulated in our Code of Conduct (Code). The Code, which applies to all Keyera directors, officers, employees, and contractors, defines requirements in respect of ethical business conduct, legal, and regulatory compliance, as well as the responsibility of all individuals to report suspected wrongdoing. The Code is supported by additional policies that give detailed guidance on key areas of corporate compliance.
The Code specifically prohibits retaliation of any kind against individuals who, in good faith, report concerns regarding potential wrongdoing. Areas of ethical conduct covered by the Code include:
- business relationships and fair dealing
- conflicts of interest
- compliance with applicable laws
- disclosure and insider trading
- entertainment and gifts
- political contributions and lobbying
- health, safety, and environmental matters
- integrity of financial information
- privacy and confidentiality
- protection of corporate assets
- public and stakeholder relations
- appropriate workplace conduct
Executives, employees, and certain contractors are required to re-certify their commitment to the Code and the conduct policies on an annual basis. The Board also reviews the Code on a regular basis, including relative to new legal or regulatory developments, as well as changes to our business.
The Audit Committee oversees complaints and investigations involving reports to our whistleblower hotline and reports to the Board as necessary. The Code is available at www.keyera.com. Copies may also be obtained from the contacts listed below. Further information is also provided in our 2025 AIF, available at www.keyera.com or www.sedarplus.ca.
Whistleblower hotline
Reporting of suspected wrongdoing is required of all executives and employees and encouraged among our contractors, customers, and other stakeholders. Reports can be made anonymously through our whistleblower hotline (our Hotline) or directly to our SVP, Sustainability, External Affairs & General Counsel, our Human Resources or Legal teams, or any Keyera leader.
Our Hotline is administered by an external third-party and enables anonymous 24-7 reporting. Complaints received by our Hotline are sent directly to the Chair of the Audit Committee and the SVP, Sustainability, External Affairs & General Counsel. Investigations are conducted under the direction of our SVP, Sustainability, External Affairs & General Counsel, who reports on complaints, investigations and findings to the Audit Committee on a quarterly basis. Internally reported complaints are addressed using similar protocols. Reports involving any accounting, internal accounting control, auditing or other financial irregularity are reported directly to the Audit Committee chair. Significant complaints and investigations are reported by management or the Audit Committee chair to the full Board.
Shareholder engagement
Keyera engages with shareholders through accurate, timely public reporting, quarterly conference calls, investor conferences, and one-on-one investor meetings, along with regular dialogue and disclosures regarding our financial and operational performance, and strategic initiatives. Feedback received from shareholders is reviewed by the Board at each quarterly meeting and at its annual strategy session. Shareholder feedback regarding corporate governance, including executive compensation and practices, is also regularly reviewed by the GSC and HRC. Examples of some of the shareholder engagement activities undertaken by management in 2025 include:

Keyera Corp. — 2026 Management Information Circular
Serving as a director
Director independence
Independence is a key aspect of an effective Board. All of our director nominees (with the exception of our CEO, Dean Setoguchi) are independent. Mr. Setoguchi is not independent by virtue of his role as President & CEO of Keyera.
Pursuant to the Board and committee mandates, Board and committee members (including their respective chairs) must be independent. To facilitate open dialogue and debate among the Board members, the independent directors also meet in camera, without the non-independent director and management present, at every regularly scheduled and specially held meeting. This practice was observed at each regularly scheduled and special Board and committee meeting held in 2025.
Each year, the Board evaluates the independence of its directors to assess whether there are any relevant facts or circumstances that could be reasonably expected to interfere with their individual exercise of independent judgment. Based on its assessment, the Board has determined each of our director nominees (excluding our CEO, Dean Setoguchi, as described above) to be independent.
Chair and independent lead director
We consider our Board Chair, Jim Bertram, to be independent. This determination is based on: (i) Canadian securities rules, which require a director complete a three-year "cooling off" period after serving as an executive officer of a company (which period, for Mr. Bertram, was completed on June 1, 2019); and (ii) guidelines of certain proxy advisory organizations, which generally require a five-year "cooling off" period before such a director may be considered independent (which period, for Mr. Bertram, occurred on June 1, 2021). With over 35 years in the energy industry, along with current directorships with other large, complex publicly traded companies, Mr. Bertram brings extensive industry and corporate governance expertise, as well as strong leadership skills, to our Board.
Notwithstanding the Board's determination that Mr. Bertram is independent, the Board recognizes that some stakeholders may be of the view that a former executive is not independent. As such, the Board has appointed director Blair Goertzen to serve in the capacity of Independent Lead Director since 2025. Mr. Goertzen also serves as Chair of the HSE Committee.
To facilitate the exercise of independent judgment and identify and mitigate potential conflicts of interest, the Board has adopted the following practices.
| Maintaining independent judgment | Mitigating conflicts of interest |
|---|---|
| ☑ Board and committees retain independent advisors whenever required or appropriate. | ☑ Directors must disclose potential conflict of interests to Board Chair, independent lead director and Corporate Secretary. |
| ☑ Director independence is annually assessed as part of our director nomination, Board evaluation, and annual individual questionnaire process, consistent with National Policy 58-201 Corporate Governance Guidance. | ☑ Potential conflicts of interest are disclosed by each director as part of the director nomination, director evaluation, and director questionnaire processes. |
| ☑ All directors must advise the Board Chair, independent lead director, CEO and Corporate Secretary immediately of any changes that could affect their independence. | ☑ Directors are subject to our Code and conduct policies, including in respect of conflicts and related matters. |
| ☑ Directors must immediately advise the Board Chair, independent lead director, CEO and Corporate Secretary prior to accepting a directorship on any public company, including any potential Board interlock. Each proposed appointment is reviewed by the GSC. | ☑ Directors must annually and throughout the year formally disclose any outside Board positions they hold and other significant relationships, including those that pose a conflict to their obligations as a director. |
| ☑ None of our nominated directors receive or have received, directly or indirectly, compensation from Keyera other than for services as a director, or as described herein. | ☑ Directors must recuse themselves from any discussion, decision and/or voting on any matter in which the director may have an actual or potential conflict of interest. |
Keyera Corp. — 2026 Management Information Circular 61
Director skills and experience
Effective Board oversight is best achieved by a composition of directors with a broad range of expertise and competencies which are relevant to our business. The Board seeks to ensure directors have a diversity of experience and perspective to support both informed decision-making as well as constructive debate. To assess our current Board composition and potential director candidates, the Board considers the following skills in current and potential directors:
| Director skills and experience | |
|---|---|
| Executive leadership | Experience leading an organization as CEO, senior executive, or leading a significant business segment or functional area of an organization. |
| Corporate governance | Strong understanding of corporate governance gained through experience as a senior executive or Board member of public or private companies. |

Board interlocks
Keyera currently does not have a formal policy on board interlocks, however, seeks to minimize these through regular monitoring and reporting of any potential interlocks to the GSC. Directors must advise the Board Chair, independent lead director, CEO and Corporate Secretary before accepting a position on another public board. Proposed appointments that could create an interlock are referred to the GSC for review and resolution.
Keyera does not currently have any director interlocks.
The following nominees were directors of other reporting issuers (or equivalent) as of March 26, 2026.
| Director | Reporting Issuer |

| Woodruff | Altus Group Limited, Ballard Power Systems Inc. |
Board tenure
The Board has tenure guidelines under which a director will generally not stand for re-election after reaching age 72 or serving more than twelve years on the Board. As a director approaches such thresholds, the GSC will initiate a transition plan. To maintain flexibility and maximize Board effectiveness, the Board has discretion to retain or nominate a director aged 72 or older or who has served more than twelve years on the Board.
Board effectiveness
The GSC is responsible for assessing the overall effectiveness of the Board, its committees, and individual directors. This assessment is conducted annually. Each Board member completes an anonymous Board effectiveness questionnaire, which includes questions on significant areas of focus from the previous year, significant areas of focus for the future, relationship with management and questions on areas for progress and improvement. Additionally, each Board member attends one on one director interviews with the Board Chair. Feedback from this process is aggregated, with results reviewed by the GSC and by the independent directors as part of a peer review process during an in-camera session of the annual Board strategy session. The Board periodically uses external advisors to assist with its Board evaluation. An evaluation using external expert governance advisors was completed in 2025. The external advisors undertook a governance review and interviewed all Directors and certain members of senior management. Feedback and recommendations arising out of the externally facilitated evaluation was reviewed with the GSC and the Board, and an implementation workplan in respect of same was developed by the GSC.
Board renewal
The GSC assists the Board in identifying suitable director candidates for nomination to our Board. In doing so, the GSC considers various criteria including professional experience, gender, ethnicity, age, potential interlocking directorships, and conflicts of interest. In identifying potential candidates, the GSC also takes into consideration various factors, including:
- breadth of experience, expertise and perspective among our existing directors;
- experience, skills, and perspective required by the Board, including relative to our director skills matrix and Board renewal guidelines;
- additional or complementary experience, perspective, or skills the candidate could bring to the Board; and
- whether the candidate is capable of dedicating sufficient time and energy to serve as a Board member.
The GSC maintains an evergreen list of potential candidates and engages an external search firm to assist in the identification of potential director candidates.
Keyera Corp. — 2026 Management Information Circular
In respect of gender specifically, given our relatively high proportion of female directors, the Board currently does not use mandatory quantitative targets or quotas for women on the Board. The Board continues to actively monitor its approach, as well as the composition of our Board, relative to its longstanding commitment to diversity, as well as the expectations of our shareholders and other stakeholders.
Director orientation
The GSC is responsible for overseeing director orientation and continuing education. Upon appointment, new directors are provided an orientation package, which includes: key strategic, operational, and financial information about Keyera, governance policies and terms of reference, business conduct policies, financial risk policies, board committee and meeting schedules, committee composition and yearly board and committee workplans, information about director and officer liability, Keyera's organizational charts and core disclosure documents.
New directors also meet with the Board Chair, independent lead director, CEO, and members of our executive team to discuss key aspects of our business. Directors also participate in field site visits to experience our operations and meet field staff.
Continuing education
Throughout the year, directors receive presentations on various aspects of our business and issues impacting our industry. Outside of regular meetings, continuing director education is encouraged through a paid subscription to the Institute of Corporate Directors and reimbursement of courses and conferences. Corporate governance and other key materials are made available to directors on our online director portal.
In 2025, the Board received presentations from management and external experts during regular meetings and at the Board's annual strategy session. Some examples of specific presentations to the Board in 2025 include:

Director compensation
Director compensation program
Director compensation is intended to attract and retain qualified individuals with the experience, skills, and attributes required to oversee our strategic affairs and material risks in an increasingly complex environment. Director compensation is reviewed by the GSC and approved by the Board. To remain competitive, compensation is generally targeted at the median (or P50) range of competitive data from our compensation peer group. Director compensation is provided to our independent directors. Only our CEO, Dean Setoguchi, does not receive additional compensation for his director role.
Compensation structure
Director compensation consists of a flat annual retainer, rather than individual meeting fees. Annual retainers are paid quarterly, in arrears, and pro-rated from the date of director's appointment. Directors also receive reimbursement for required air travel and accommodation related to in-person meetings, as well as for reasonable out of pocket expenses related to such attendance. Annual compensation paid to our directors in 2025 is shown in the table below.
| Board position | 2025 annualized retainer |
|---|---|
| Board Chair^{(1)} | $340,000 |
| Independent Lead Director^{(2)} | $250,000 |
| Independent Directors | $200,000 |
| Committee annual retainers | |
| Audit Committee Chair | $45,000 |
| Committee Chair (GSC, HRC & HSE) | $30,000 |
| Committee member | $15,000 |
- For Mr. Bertram, includes annual base retainer of $200,000, plus an annual Board Chair retainer of $140,000.
- For Mr. Goertzen, includes annual base retainer of $200,000, plus an annual independent lead director retainer of $50,000.
Directors receive no other compensation from Keyera in their capacity as directors. Specifically, our directors receive no bonus, incentive, or other compensation upon joining the Board, and do not participate in incentive compensation, pension, or employee benefit plans. No meeting fees were paid to our directors in 2025 beyond amounts set out above.
The only equity-based awards received by our directors are DSUs granted under our director Deferred Share Unit Plan, described below.
Form of director compensation
Effective January 1, 2025, directors may elect to receive annual compensation in DSUs or a combination of DSUs and cash, provided at least 50% of annual compensation is taken in DSUs. DSUs are granted quarterly in arrears, consistent with payment of cash fees. Directors receive at least (i) 50% of their total annual retainer in DSUs, or (ii) 60% of their total annual retainer as DSUs until they meet their required share ownership level, as described below.
The number of DSUs granted is determined based on the volume weighted average price (VWAP) of Keyera common shares over the twenty trading days prior to the grant date. DSUs attract dividend equivalent units relative to the value of dividends declared by Keyera using the same pricing mechanism. DSUs are settled in cash once the director ceases to hold office. They are entitled to designate up to two payment dates for the settlement of their DSUs, which shall not be earlier than the day following the date they cease to hold office and shall not be later than December 15 of the calendar year following such date. If a director fails to designate a specific payment date for settlement of their DSUs the payment date shall be December 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which they ceased to hold office. DSUs are valued based on the VWAP of our common shares over the five trading days prior to the date a director ceased to hold office.
Details regarding 2025 DSU elections by our directors are provided in the "director equity ownership" table at page 67.
Keyera Corp. — 2026 Management Information Circular 67
Director share ownership requirements
Keyera's Director Equity Ownership Guidelines (the Guidelines) require each director to hold shares with a value equivalent to three times their base annual retainer within five years of their appointment to the Board. DSUs received as part of a director's annual retainer count toward their share ownership requirements. Directors who do not meet their required share ownership must receive at least 60% of their annual compensation in DSUs. Current share ownership levels of each director are included in the profiles starting at page 25. As of March 26, 2026, all current directors were in compliance with the Guidelines, with two directors noted as "In progress" in the table below having until their applicable compliance deadline to meet their share ownership requirements.

Compensation discussion and analysis
Keyera Corp. — 2026 Management Information Circular 72
Message from our HRC Chair
To our fellow Shareholders:
On behalf of the Human Resources Committee (HRC) and the Board, I am pleased to share an overview of our executive compensation program and how it supports Keyera's performance and long-term strategy.
Our approach to executive compensation
Our approach is grounded in a simple principle: compensation should reflect performance. We leverage at-risk compensation programs that are directly tied to the achievement of financial, operational, and strategic objectives that drive long-term value creation.
The Committee maintains active oversight of the program to ensure it remains aligned with our strategy, reflects evolving market practices, and supports responsible decision-making. In doing so, we are guided by four core objectives:
- Reward performance against clearly defined corporate priorities.
- Align compensation with sound risk management practices, ensuring there is appropriate balance between risk and reward.
- Maintain competitiveness within our peer group.
- Support strong financial outcomes with responsible performance over the long-term.
This disciplined approach continues to receive strong shareholder support. In 2025, 96% of shareholders voted in favour of our approach to executive compensation. We view this as an important endorsement and remain committed to ongoing engagement and continuous improvement.
2025 performance and compensation(4)
2025 was an excellent year for Keyera. We delivered strong financial and operational results, advanced key growth initiatives, and strengthened the foundation for the next phase of our growth.
We achieved annual adjusted EBITDA of $1.16 billion and distributable cash flow per share of $3.35, both figures exclude acquisition related costs. We ended the year with a strong balance sheet, with net debt to adjusted EBITDA below our targeted range, and we increased our quarterly dividend by 4% to $2.16 annually.
Operationally, we maintained reliable performance across our assets and achieved another year of strong safety outcomes. We also made meaningful progress on our sustainability priorities and achieved a 25% reduction in equity-based scope 1 & 2 GHG emissions intensity one year ahead of our target. Record fee for service realized margin of $1.03 billion reflected strong demand for our services and high asset utilization. At the same time, we continued to advance capital efficient growth projects, including the Frac II debottleneck, Frac III, and KAPS Zone 4.
These results are directly reflected in our compensation outcomes. For 2025, the annual incentive corporate scorecard resulted in a multiplier of 1.02x against Board approved targets. Our 2022 PSU awards vested in the top quartile of our performance peer group, supported by a three-year relative total shareholder return ranking of 95.72% and pre-tax DCF per share $3.53 (see page 88 for additional details). In addition, we made modest adjustments to NEO salaries to better align with the median of our peer group.
The Committee remains focused on maintaining a strong and transparent link between performance and pay, ensuring that outcomes reflect both the results achieved and the manner in which they are delivered.
4 Adjusted EBITDA, distributable cash flow and realized margin are not standard measures under GAAP.

These insights supported targeted development plans to strengthen leadership capability and position the organization for continued success.
Our focus for 2026
Looking ahead, the Committee will continue to ensure that our compensation framework evolves alongside our strategy and the external environment. This includes monitoring market developments, incorporating shareholder feedback, and maintaining strong alignment between performance and pay.
In 2026, a key priority will be supporting the successful integration of Plains employees into Keyera's culture and leadership programs. This will be critical to sustaining our performance and realizing the full value of this transformational opportunity.
The Compensation Discussion and Analysis section that follows provides further detail on our philosophy, programs, governance practices, and compensation outcomes for our NEOs.
On behalf of the Committee, I would like to thank Keyera's employees for their continued dedication and contributions. Their commitment is central to the Company's success. As I will not be standing for re-election at the upcoming annual meeting, I would also like to express my sincere appreciation for the opportunity to serve on the Board and to chair the Human Resources Committee. It has been a privilege to work alongside this talented and committed group of directors and management. I am confident in the strength of Keyera's leadership, the clarity of its strategy, and the strong foundation in place to support continued success in the years ahead.

Human Resources Committee
Human Resources Committee
The HRC assists the Board in overseeing the development and administration of our executive compensation program. The HRC recommends annual compensation for our CEO and other executives, establishes performance measures and targets under our incentive plans, and oversees overall program design. Recommendations developed by the HRC regarding our program, including executive pay, are reviewed and approved by the full Board.
The HRC regularly evaluates and monitors our compensation program, including with the assistance of independent advisors, to ensure it remains competitive, addresses compensation-related risks, and reflects strong compensation governance. The HRC also assists the Board with succession planning for the CEO and other senior executive roles and monitors our approach in respect of diversity, equity and inclusion. Specific responsibilities of the HRC are set out in written terms of reference, available at www.keyera.com.
Keyera Corp. — 2026 Management Information Circular
Compensation philosophy
To ensure our executive compensation program aligns with shareholder interests, executive compensation decisions are based on four fundamental principles:

Performance-driven: Executive compensation consists of predominantly performance-based elements that encourage the achievement of our key business objectives and align with the experience of our shareholders

Risk-mitigated: Our program is applied consistently across our business and to both our executives and employees. Compensation-related risk is reduced through thoughtful program design, formal governance mechanisms, and the exercise of Board discretion where required to avoid outcomes that are unintended or misaligned with shareholder interests

Competitive: Our program is regularly monitored to ensure compensation is generally at the median (P50) of our compensation peer group to ensure we can attract, motivate, and retain the executive talent required to deliver value to our shareholders

Balanced: A balance of compensation elements and a variety of performance metrics in our incentive compensation program incents strong results over both short and longer-term time horizons
Performance-focused
Compensation for our executives consists of predominantly performance-based (or "at risk") elements. To encourage sustainable value creation over various time horizons, performance measures in our incentive compensation plans consist of key financial, safety, environmental, and operational metrics. These performance metrics and corresponding targets are rigorously evaluated by our HRC, including relative to actual performance results, to ensure consistency with corporate performance and shareholder interests.
For 2025, 68% of total direct compensation for our CEO, Dean Setoguchi, was comprised of performance-based compensation. Similarly, for our remaining NEOs, an average of approximately 62% of 2025 total direct compensation consisted of these same "at risk" elements, as illustrated below:
CEO COMPENSATION
68% total performance based compensation
OTHER NEO COMPENSATION
62% total performance based compensation
Keyera Corp. — 2026 Management Information Circular
Independent advice
The HRC receives advice and perspective from independent external advisors, which is considered when determining annual executive pay, overall program design, and the competitiveness of our program, including relative to our compensation peer group.
In early 2024, the HRC went through a competitive process to review and select its independent advisor. In May 2024, Southlea Group was engaged as the HRC's independent advisor. Southlea supports the HRC in the execution of its mandate, by providing analysis and advice regarding the overall competitiveness of our program, including peer group, executive compensation, program design, and performance metrics under our incentive compensation plans. Southlea also assists the HRC with the evaluation of compensation-related risks. Southlea attends each HRC meeting and has a direct relationship with the HRC Chair. Southlea does not provide services to management without pre-approval by the HRC Chair.
Mercer was retained as the independent advisor to the HRC until May 2024. Mercer provided no other services directly to management in 2025 but did incur fees related to participation in annual market surveys. Fees paid to each consultant in 2025 and 2024 are provided below:
| Advisor | 2025 | 2024 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Executive compensation fees ($)1) | All other fees ($)2) | Executive compensation fees ($)1) | All other fees ($)2) | |
| Mercer | 0 | 19,320 | 27,749 | 28,775 |
| Southlea | 216,216 | 42,952 | 176,914 | N/A |
- For Mercer, executive compensation fees relate to services provided through April 2024 as the HRC's independent advisor. For Southlea, executive compensation fees refer to services related to analysis and advice pertaining to executive compensation philosophy, compensation peer group and LTI design in 2023 and up to April 2024, when they were appointed as the HRC's independent advisor.
- For Mercer, all other fees refer to fees paid by management for services related to Keyera's participation in annual market surveys. For Southlea, all other fees refer to fees paid for services related to the integration costs for the Plains acquisition
Market competitiveness
To attract and retain high performing executive talent, our program must be competitive relative to our peers. Executive compensation is therefore benchmarked against comparable roles from a group of similarly sized companies approved by the HRC. Compensation is generally targeted at the median (or P50) of this group, subject to adjustments to reflect individual experience and/or scope of responsibilities. Such benchmarking is conducted relative to an executive's annual "target total compensation", which is the aggregate of base salary, target annual short-term incentive and annual LTI award.
Compensation peer group
For benchmarking purposes, the HRC annually assesses executive compensation relative to a group of Canadian energy peers against whom we compete for executive talent (our compensation peer group) and are comparable in terms of size, scope and complexity. Assisted by Southlea, the HRC examines the compensation peer group on an annual basis to ensure it remains an appropriate comparator group. In 2024, the HRC evaluated Keyera's positioning relative to the peer group using the following criteria:
| Comparative factor | Target range (percentage) | 2025 result (percentile) |
|---|---|---|
| Total assets | 33 to 300 | Below P50 |
| EBITDA | 33 to 300 | Below P50 |
| Enterprise value | 33 to 300 | Above P50 |
| Market capitalization | 33 to 300 | Above P50 |
| Revenue | 33 to 300 | Above P50 |
Keyera Corp. — 2026 Management Information Circular
Following this review, the HRC approved the following compensation peer group for 2025 compensation decisions, comprised of 10 companies from the Canadian midstream, pipeline, exploration, downstream and production sectors. Market data from the peer group was used by the HRC to evaluate annual NEO compensation and the overall competitiveness of our program.
| 2025 Compensation Peer Group | ||
|---|---|---|
| AltaGas Ltd. | Parkland Corporation | Vermilion Energy Inc. |
| ARC Resources Ltd. | Pembina Pipeline Corporation | Whitecap Resources Inc. |
| Gibson Energy Inc. | Tourmaline Oil Corp. | |
| MEG Energy Corp. | Veren Inc. |
In 2025, the HRC completed a comprehensive review of the compensation peer group to address industry consolidation as well as the pending acquisition of Plains Midstream's Canadian assets with consideration of Keyera's relative size, scope and complexity on a pro-forma basis. The selection criteria were expanded to consider other related companies in the energy sector, including relevant power generation companies. The following compensation peer group was approved for 2026 compensation decisions.

Compensation risk management
The HRC regularly evaluates our program to ensure it does not inadvertently encourage executives to engage in inappropriate risk taking that could have a material adverse impact on our business. The HRC seeks to reduce compensation-related risk through the following program design features:
- the use of a consistent program across our three business segments, as well as for executives and employees;
- alignment of compensation with the market P50 of our peer group;
- incentive compensation performance measures that consist of quantifiable, verifiable financial, safety and operational metrics, including distributable cash flow per share (DCFPS) $^5$ and relative total shareholder return (RTSR);
- performance metrics in our incentive plan are stress-tested by the HRC relative to various performance and shareholder return outcomes both prior to approval and when assessing actual performance results;
- the vast majority (75%) of annual executive LTI grants are performance-based, for which all vesting is deferred for a three-year period;
- performance multipliers under our annual bonus and LTI awards are capped at a maximum of two times target;
- reasonable severance and termination provisions;
- robust share ownership guidelines and clawback provisions; and
- prior to approving final performance results under our incentive plans, the Board considers a broad range of factors, including overall corporate performance and prevailing market conditions, and may apply discretion to adjust calculated results up or down to avoid unintended outcomes and ensure shareholder alignment.
$^5$ DCFPS, meaning Distributable Cash Flow Per Share, represents cash flow from our operating activities, adjusted for changes in non-cash working capital, inventory write-downs, maintenance capital expenditures, and lease payments divided by the weighted average number of outstanding shares during the performance period, is a non-GAAP ratio, and may not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other entities. See Non-GAAP reconciliation in Schedule "C". For 2025 company scorecard purposes, DCFPS is calculated on an after-tax basis (pre-tax distributable cash flow per share or PTDCF).
Keyera Corp. — 2026 Management Information Circular
Executive share ownership guidelines
Executive share ownership guidelines are designed to encourage executives to retain a proprietary interest in Keyera and promote alignment with shareholder interests. In 2025, the GSC reviewed the competitiveness of our guidelines and increased the required share ownership multiple to 5 times base salary for CEO and 3 times for other NEOs (from 3 times and 2 times, respectively). Executives have five years from appointment to achieve their required ownership level and must maintain compliance during their tenure. Unvested LTI awards previously granted to executives do not count for purposes of the guidelines requiring executives to own common shares in order to comply with the guidelines which is more stringent than most of our compensation peer group. The share ownership status under the guidelines of each of NEO at March 26, 2026 is below.
| NEO | Required share ownership (base salary multiple) | Total shares (#) | Total Subscription Receipts (#) | Total share value ($) (1) | Share value (base salary multiple) (2) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dean Setoguchi | 5 times | 232,936 | 20,000 | 13,329,727 | 17 times |
| Eileen Marikar | 3 times | 42,073 | Nil | 2,217,247 | 4 times |
| James Urquhart | 3 times | 39,489 | Nil | 2,081,070 | 4 times |
| Jarrod Beztilny (3) | 3 times | 106,443 | Nil | 5,609,546 | 14 times |
| Christy Elliott (4) | 3 times | 15,330 | Nil | 807,891 | 2 times |
- Share value based on calculated 30-day average closing price of common shares up to and including March 26, 2026, which was $52.70.
- Share and subscription receipt value calculated by dividing the total value of shares held by each NEO at March 26, 2026, by their respective 2025 base salary set out in summary compensation table on page 92, rounded to the nearest whole number.
- Mr. Beztilny ceased to be a NEO of Keyera on February 2, 2026. His total number of shares is as at February 2, 2026.
- Ms. Elliott was appointed SVP, Sustainability, External Affairs and General Counsel on July 4, 2023, and has until July 4, 2028, to attain her required share ownership level.
Clawback policy
Keyera's executive incentive compensation clawback policy is applicable to all executives, not just our CEO. The policy authorizes the Board to cancel, seek recovery and/or reimbursement of any short or long-term incentive compensation granted, paid or payable to an executive where he or she is determined to have engaged in either: (i) fraud, gross negligence or intentional misconduct which gives rise to material non-compliance with any financial reporting requirement which results in a required restatement of all or a portion of Keyera's financial results; and/or (ii) defined material misconduct. Under the policy, the Board has full discretion to pursue other recourse deemed appropriate in the circumstances.
Hedging prohibitions
Keyera has approved anti-hedging restrictions which prohibit directors, officers, and employees from entering speculative transactions involving Keyera securities. These prohibitions include the use of puts, calls, collars, spread trades, short selling, or engaging in hedging activities of any kind, including buying, selling or entering into: (i) any derivative instruments, agreements or securities the market price, value or payment obligations of which are derived from or based on the value of securities of Keyera; or (ii) any other derivative instruments, agreements, arrangements or understandings (commonly known as equity monetization transactions) the effect of which is to alter, directly or indirectly, an individual's economic interest in securities of Keyera, or the director's or officer's economic exposure to Keyera.
Keyera Corp. — 2026 Management Information Circular

Compensation governance practices
Outlined below is an overview of certain key features of our compensation practices:
What we do
| All executive compensation decisions are reviewed and approved by the full Board. |
|---|
| Executive compensation consists of predominantly performance-based or "at risk" elements tied to the achievement of Board approved financial, strategic and ESG performance metrics (68% for our CEO and an average of 62% for our remaining NEOs). |
| LTI grants to our NEOs in 2025 consisted of: (i) 75% PSUs, for which vesting and payout is deferred for a full three-year period and conditional upon three-year performance RTSR and Board-approved pre-tax DCF per share target; and (ii) 25% restricted share units (RSUs), which vest in equal one-third increments over a three-year period, and for which ultimate value is determined by our share price. |
| The HRC stress tests performance targets in our incentive compensation plans against various scenarios to assess the extent of stretch included in the targets, as well as potential outcomes, to ensure alignment with shareholder interests. |
| Performance measures in our annual and long-term incentive plans are correlated with shareholder interests (DCF per share, RTSR) and key safety and operational metrics. |
| Both our annual and long-term incentive plans have threshold performance levels (below which no payout is made) and maximum performance multiplier is capped at two times target. |
| The HRC receives advice from independent compensation consultants to ensure our program is competitive and aligns with strong compensation governance. |
| NEOs participate in the same compensation program as employees, other than limited executive perquisites. |
| All executives are subject to an incentive compensation clawback policy which authorizes the Board to cancel or recover incentive compensation where the executive engages in material misconduct or conduct that contributes to a required restatement of our financial results. |
| All executive employment agreement (EEA) entitlements are double trigger, requiring both a change of control and subsequent termination of employment in order for cash severance entitlements to be payable. All executive and employee LTIs are subject to the same double trigger requirements. |
| Directors and senior executives are subject to minimum share ownership requirements. |
| An anti-hedging policy prohibits directors and executives from participating in speculative activity related to our shares, including activities to protect against declines in share price. |
| For the past thirteen years, we have held an annual "say on pay" vote, which has been approved on average by 98% of shares voted at our annual shareholder meeting. |
What we do not do
| No stock options granted to our executives. |
|---|
| No EEAs with multi-year guaranteed pay increases, annual bonus awards, or LTI grants. |
| No change of control or termination payments greater than two times cash pay multiple for executives, including the CEO (such entitlements are limited to two-times maximum, and were reduced for incoming executives in 2023). |
| No single trigger change of control payments. |
| No re-pricing, back-dating, or replacement of cancelled LTIs. |
| No payment of dividends on LTIs prior to vesting. |
| No tax gross-ups or excessive perquisites are provided to our executives. |
| No defined benefit or supplemental pension plan for any employee, including executives. |
Keyera Corp. — 2026 Management Information Circular
2025 compensation program
Base salary
Each year, the HRC reviews base salaries relative to corresponding data from our compensation peer group and the individual skills and experience of our executives. For 2025, the HRC recommended increases (ranging from 3.1 – 8.7%) to certain NEO base salaries to align with market. These recommendations, approved by the Board and effective January 1, 2025, are outlined in the table below.
| Name | 2024 base salary ($) | 2025 base salary ($) | Change (%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dean Setoguchi | 735,000 | 775,000 | 5.4% |
| Eileen Marikar | 460,000 | 500,000 | 8.7% |
| James Urquhart | 460,000 | 475,000 | 3.3% |
| Jarrod Beztilny | 390,000 | 410,000 | 5.1% |
| Christy Elliott | 385,000 | 397,000 | 3.1% |
Annual incentive awards
Our annual incentive plan is a key element of our pay for performance philosophy. For each NEO, annual incentive is based on annual results relative to Board-approved performance metrics and targets in the following four performance categories:
Financial performance (70%)
Distributable cash flow per share
Safety performance (10%)
Lost-time Injury Frequency (LTIF), reporting frequency and process safety Events (PSE) – Pro-active Indicators
Growth (10%)
Sanctioned growth capital + Project development/M&A
Competitiveness (10%)
Emission reductions + Sustained operating margin improvement
The above performance measures constitute our annual company scorecard. Each year, Board-approved annual scorecard results are used to determine the corporate multiplier for annual incentive awards. Performance measures are closely reviewed each year to ensure targets will drive high performance across Keyera. The same scorecard and corporate multiplier are used to determine annual incentive award eligibility for all employees, including our NEOs.
The respective weighting of corporate versus individual performance results for bonus purposes increases with an employee's level of responsibility. In 2025, 90% of annual bonus award eligibility for our CEO, Dean Setoguchi, was based on our company scorecard results. For our remaining NEOs, corporate performance was weighted 80% as shown below:
2025 CEO BONUS
2025 OTHER NEO BONUS
Keyera Corp. — 2026 Management Information Circular
Despite calculated annual company scorecard results, the Board retains discretion to adjust the corporate multiplier up or down to ensure overall compensation outcomes align with broader market conditions, operational or financial performance, and our shareholders experience over the same period.
Target annual incentive opportunity
Annual incentive opportunity for our NEOs is expressed as percentage of base salary (target incentive award). Executives are eligible to earn between 0 and 200% (maximum) of their target incentive award based on annual performance, as described above. The following table shows the respective annual target incentive award eligibility for our NEOs for 2025.
2025 NEO annual incentive award eligibility
| NEO | 2025 base salary ($) | Target (% salary) | Target ($) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dean Setoguchi | 775,000 | 100% | 775,000 |
| Eileen Marikar | 500,000 | 75% | 375,000 |
| James Urquhart | 475,000 | 75% | 356,250 |
| Jarrod Beztilny | 410,000 | 75% | 307,500 |
| Christy Elliott | 397,000 | 75% | 297,750 |
2025 company scorecard
Achievement of the annual financial, safety, competitiveness and growth objectives in our company scorecard is among the key measures of our success. In 2025, metrics in our scorecard included after-tax DCFPS as well as safety, growth and competitiveness metrics.
70% of the 2025 corporate scorecard was based on an after-tax DCFPS target. DCFPS measures cash flow generated from our operations and the adequacy of internally generated cash flow to fund dividends and our growth initiatives. DCFPS is publicly reported in our quarterly and annual financial disclosures, providing shareholders a clear line of sight into our performance. DCFPS results are also used to determine our annual bonus pool, to ensure bonus awards are fully funded from cash flow.
The remaining 30% of the 2025 corporate scorecard was based on safety, competitiveness and growth. These metrics and corresponding targets were carefully selected by the HRC to reinforce the importance of creating a competitive asset base combined with the sustainable execution of our results to Keyera and to our stakeholders.
Following completion of the calendar year, calculated scorecard results are reviewed by the HRC, HSE Committee, and the Board. In addition to calculated results, the HRC, HSE Committee, and the Board also consider overall company performance and prevailing external conditions to ensure compensation outcomes are appropriate, including relative to the experience of our shareholders. Against this broader context, the Board determines whether to exercise discretion to adjust calculated scorecard results. Once approved by the Board, final corporate scorecard results constitute the multiplier used to determine the corporate performance portion of annual bonus awards for our employees, including our NEOs.
2025 annual incentive plan decisions
Performance metrics for the 2025 company scorecard were reaffirmed by the Board in February 2025. Targets for each metric were carefully evaluated to assess rigor, including relative to various performance outcomes. For DCFPS, potential targets were stress-tested, including relative to commodity price, maintenance capital expenditures and cash tax sensitivities, to assess potential impacts on our overall annual financial and operating performance, as well as corresponding shareholder returns over the same period.
Scorecard results which meet the Board-approved target correlate to a performance multiplier of 1.0 times, subject to discretionary adjustments by the Board. Annual bonus award payouts are capped at a maximum performance multiplier of 2.0 times the target award.
Keyera Corp. — 2026 Management Information Circular
2025 DCFPS (weighted 70%)
In February 2025, the Board, upon recommendation of the HRC, approved a 2025 DCFPS target for purposes of the annual company scorecard. This target was approved with key considerations reviewed that could impact the overall DCFPS. Some of the key considerations reviewed included: reliability across assets, timing of cash flow from capital projects, increased operating costs due to global inflation and commodity price volatility. Following such examination, the Board approved the recommended target and corresponding performance thresholds.
2025 DCFPS results were approved by the Board in February 2026, following review by the HRC at its February 2026 meeting. In particular, the 2025 DFCPS target was reviewed relative to Keyera's actual 2025 DCFPS on an adjusted basis which included removing one-time Plains acquisition costs. Such results, representing 70% of the 2025 scorecard results, resulted in a calculated performance multiplier of 0.83 times which was approved by the Board.
2025 safety, competitiveness and growth metrics (weighted 30%)
In February 2025, the Board approved performance targets related to the safety, competitiveness and growth focus areas, which were used in the 2025 company scorecard.
Each focus area (safety, competitiveness and growth) carries a 10% weighting and the corresponding performance measures have the potential to significantly impact financial, operational, and reputational aspects of the business. For 2025, performance that meets the corresponding targets correlates to a performance multiplier of 1.0 times. For 2025, Keyera outperformed the majority of performance targets which resulted in an aggregate score equal to 1.5 times. Following a thorough review, the Board approved performance multipliers for safety (0.8 times), competitiveness (1.6 times) and growth (2.0 times). Such results, in aggregate, represent 30 percent of the total 2025 corporate scorecard results.
2025 company scorecard results
For 2025, approved performance results under our annual company scorecard were as follows:
| Scorecard metric | Weight | Performance result | Performance multiplier | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DCFPS | 70% | Target not achieved | 0.83 times | |
| Safety | Lost-time injury frequency (LTIF) | Target not achieved | ||
| Reporting Frequency | 10% | Target exceeded | 0.8 times | |

2025 annual bonus awards
The following table outlines the corresponding 2025 annual bonus awards for our NEOs for 2025, including respective performance component weightings.
| NEO | 2025 base salary ($) | Target award (% of salary) | Corporate performance weighting (%) | Approved company score | Individual performance weighting (%) | Actual 2025 award ($) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Long-term incentive (LTI) program
The largest proportion of annual compensation for our NEOs consists of annual LTI awards. Annual LTI grants provide our NEOs an opportunity to receive long-term, variable compensation based on the achievement of specific Board-approved performance objectives and appreciation in our share price. By encouraging delivery of long-term, sustainable shareholder value, LTI awards are designed to align NEO and shareholder interests. Our LTI program also seeks to mitigate compensation-related risk by deferring vesting or payout of 75% of annual grants for a full three-year period.
In 2025, annual LTI grants to our NEOs consisted of 75% PSUs, and 25% RSUs, as described below.
Upon vesting, PSU and RSU value is determined based on the value of our common share closing price on the Friday prior to the payment date. For PSUs, this value is multiplied by the approved PSU performance multipliers described below. PSUs and RSUs are settled by either cash payment, or at the election of the holder, delivery of common shares purchased on the open market. PSUs and RSUs may be settled by common shares issued from Keyera's treasury. For additional details on the terms of the LTI Plan, see Schedule "D" – Long-term Incentive Plan Summary.
Performance share units (PSUs) (75% of 2025 LTI grants)
PSUs are notional share units, equivalent in value to a Keyera common share. For 2025, PSUs represent 75% of the value of LTI grants to our NEOs. When a dividend is paid on our common shares, PSUs attract dividend equivalent units, payable only upon vesting of the underlying PSU. PSUs are fully cliff vested, such that no PSUs vest until the three-year Performance Period (as defined in Schedule "D") is completed.
Vesting and payout eligibility of PSUs are contingent on Keyera's achievement of a Board approved pre-tax DCFPS target, as well as our RTSR performance against a specified peer group, each measured over a three-year period. Upon vesting, PSUs are settled by either a cash payment or, at the election of the holder, common shares either issued by Keyera from treasury or purchased on the open market. The value of a PSU (including dividend equivalent units) upon vesting is determined by multiplying the number of PSUs by the approved corporate performance multiplier for such grant, and the share closing price on the Friday prior to the payment date.
For grants made in 2025, upon recommendation of the HRC, the Board approved two PSU performance metrics, weighted as follows: (i) pre-tax DCFPS (weighted 50%); and (ii) RTSR (weighted 50%). The approved 2025 PSU performance metrics and corresponding weightings are described below.
Keyera Corp. — 2026 Management Information Circular
Pre-tax DCFPS target (weighted 50%)
Vesting and payout eligibility of 50% of PSU awards granted to our NEOs was determined by Keyera's performance relative to a Board-approved three-year average pre-tax DCFPS target.
To develop this target, the HRC uses the Corporation's prior year pre-tax DCFPS results as a baseline. Potential targets are then evaluated relative to historical and projected utilization rates, cash flow from capital projects, marketing results and commodity price forecasts. Taking into consideration overall industry conditions, the HRC evaluates various DCFPS performance scenarios to assess potential impacts on shareholder return, as well as corresponding compensation outcomes. Based on this analysis, the HRC recommends a three-year average pre-tax DCFPS target to the Board for review and, if considered appropriate, approval.
Performance results which achieve the average three-year pre-tax DCFPS target generally correlate to a PSU performance multiplier of 1.0 times. Maximum is capped at a performance multiplier of 2.0 times. For PSU grants made to our NEOs in 2025, the performance range and corresponding multipliers based on average pre-tax DCFPS are shown below:
| Three-year DCFPS performance(1) | Performance threshold | PSU performance multiplier (absolute) | PSU performance multiplier (weighted 50%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| <91.5% of target | Minimum | 0 | 0 |
| Target | Target | 1.0 times | 0.5 times |
| >107% of target | Maximum | 2.0 times | 1.0 times |
- Actual performance above is approximate; percentages are rounded to the nearest whole number.
RTSR performance (weighted 50%)
Vesting and payout eligibility of 50% of PSU awards granted to our NEOs is determined by Keyera's three-year RTSR performance. Such performance is assessed by the HRC relative to a pre-approved PSU Performance Peer Group.
The approved PSU Peer Group used to determine RTSR performance for PSU grants, consisted of the following nine midstream peer companies against whom Keyera competes for investment capital:
| 2025 PSU Peer Group | ||
|---|---|---|
| AltaGas Ltd. | ONEOK Inc. | Targa Resources Inc. |
| Enbridge Inc. | Pembina Pipeline Corporation | TC Energy Corporation |
| Gibson Energy Inc. | Plains All American Pipeline LP | Tidewater Midstream Ltd. |
Keyera Corp. — 2026 Management Information Circular 87
The RTSR thresholds and corresponding LTI performance multipliers for PSUs granted in 2025 to our NEOs are provided below:
| RTSR rank position | PSU performance multiplier (absolute) | PSU performance multiplier (weighted 50%) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2.00 | 1.00 |
| 2 | 1.75 | 0.88 |
| 3 | 1.50 | 0.75 |
| 4 | 1.25 | 0.63 |
| 5 | 1.00 | 0.50 |
| 6 | 1.00 | 0.50 |
| 7 | 0.75 | 0.375 |
| 8 | 0.50 | 0.25 |
| 9 | 0.25 | 0.125 |
| 10 | 0.00 | 0.00 |
Keyera's RTSR resulting rank within the PSU Peer Group will equate to the PSU performance multiplier achieved. Maximum RTSR performance is capped at 2.0 times of target.
Restricted share units (25% of 2025 LTI grants)
RSUs are notional share units, equivalent in value to a Keyera common share. When a dividend is paid on our common shares, RSUs attract dividend equivalent units, payable only upon vesting of the underlying RSU. Upon vesting, RSUs are settled by either a cash payment or, at the election of the holder, common shares either issued by Keyera from treasury or purchased on the open market. RSUs represent 25% of the Grant Date value of LTI grants to our NEOs in 2025. RSUs vest in annual, equal one-third increments over a three-year period. Upon vesting, RSU value is determined based on the value of our common share closing price on the Friday prior to the payment date.
2025 LTI awards
Annual LTI grants were reviewed by the HRC in February and approved by the Board in February. For 2025, the Board approved the following LTI grants for our NEOs, which were effective February 13, 2025. The Grant Date value of these LTI awards (as defined in the LTI Plan) is provided below:
| NEO | 2025 Grant Date value ($) (1) | LTI awards (#) | % of 2025 base salary | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PSU | RSU | Total | |||
| Dean Setoguchi | 3,874,961 | 69,577 | 23,192 | 92,769 | 500% |
| Eileen Marikar | 1,500,002 | 26,933 | 8,978 | 35,911 | 300% |
| James Urquhart | 1,211,288 | 21,749 | 7,250 | 28,999 | 255% |
| Jarrod Beztliny | 963,509 | 17,300 | 5,767 | 23,067 | 235% |
| Christy Elliott | 833,687 | 14,969 | 4,990 | 19,959 | 210% |
- Grant Date values are based on the VWAP of our common shares over the 20 trading days before such Grant Date, which was $41.77.

Vesting of 2022 PSU awards
PSUs granted to our NEOs in 2022 were settled in 2025. Keyera's three-year pre-tax DCFPS (weighted at 50%) and RTSR performance (weighted at 50%) as compared to the corresponding targets approved by the Board in June 2022 are set out below:
| Vesting and settlement of 2022 PSU awards | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DCFPS target (3-Year) | Actual DCFPS (3-Year) | Contribution to corporate multiplier at 50% | RTSR ranking | Contribution to corporate multiplier at 50% | Final corporate multiplier |
| $3.14 | $3.53 | 1.0000 | 95.72% | 0.9572 | 1.9572 |
The value of 2022 PSUs that vested in 2025 was calculated based on a corporate performance multiplier of 1.9572 (reflecting performance from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2025) as follows:
- Keyera's three-year average pre-tax DCFPS (weighted at 50%) of $3.53 was above the 2022 DCFPS target of $3.146; and
- Three-year total shareholder return results (weighted at 50%) of 95.72% (relative to the Performance Peer Group).
The number and corresponding value of 2022 PSU awards granted to our NEOs which vested and settled in 2025 is set out in the following table:
| NEO | 2022 PSUs settled in 2025 (#) | 2022 Grant Date value ($)^{(1)} | Value of 2022 PSUs settled in 2025 ($)^{(2)} |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dean Setoguchi | 73,881 | 2,325,035 | 7,376,650 |

| Christy Elliott^{(3)} | 8,580 | 270,013 | 856,670 |
- PSU grants to our NEOs in 2022 were effective July 1, 2022. Grant Date values above are calculated based on the VWAP of our common shares over the 20 trading days before such Grant Date, which was $31.47.
- PSUs granted to our NEOs in 2022 vested and were settled effective August 13, 2025. Above settlement values were calculated based on multiplying the number of PSUs granted by the corporate multiplier of 1.9572, using an adjustment ratio of 1.19334 for dividends paid on common shares since the Grant Date and using the closing price of our common shares on August 8, 2025 of $42.75, the last trading day before settlement.
- Ms. Elliott started at Keyera effective July 4, 2023.
Executive perquisites
To remain competitive, NEOs receive limited executive perquisites, including one business club membership, executive life insurance and an annual executive medical examination. The value of these benefits does not represent a significant element of executive compensation. NEOs also participate in the same benefit and pension plans as our employees. For more information regarding the value of perquisites provided to our executives, see the Summary Compensation Table at page 92.
- Three-year average pre-tax DCFPS is not a standard measure under GAAP and may not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other entities. Please see "Non-GAAP Measures" attached to this circular as Schedule "C".

The graph below shows the value of a $100 investment made January 1, 2021 in Keyera common shares, the S&P/TSX Composite Index and the TSX Capped Energy Index at the end of the last five years (assuming reinvestment of dividends throughout the term). The closing price of Keyera common shares on December 31, 2025 was $44.00.
Total direct compensation includes base salary, annual bonus awards, LTI awards and contributions made under Keyera's defined contribution pension plan.

| Total Direct Compensation for NEOs ($MM) | $11 | $11 | $14 | $13 | $14 |
The total return on Keyera common shares has been positive from 2021 to 2025. Like many energy-sector companies, Keyera experienced a value decline in 2020 due to the impact of COVID-19 on the world economy and realized a significant value recovery and increase in 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 as the economy recovered. Since a significant percentage of our NEOs' compensation is "at-risk" (see "Compensation discussion and analysis – Performance-focused" at page 76) the total compensation paid to the NEOs has closely tracked the performance of Keyera common shares.

Outstanding share-based awards
The following table sets forth all outstanding share-based awards for each NEO unvested as at December 31, 2025. As Keyera does not have an option plan, there are no outstanding option-based awards for our NEOs. Share-based awards below refer to PSUs previously granted to our NEOs in 2023, 2024 and 2025 and RSUs granted in 2023, 2024 and 2025, under our LTI Plan.
| NEO | Number of unvested PSU awards(1) | Number of unvested RSU awards | Market or payout value of LTI awards that have not vested(2) | Market or payout value of vested LTI awards not yet paid or distributed(2) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dean Setoguchi | 214,731 | 47,004 | 12,655,037 | - |
| Eileen Marikar | 79,663 | 17,699 | 4,701,693 | - |

| Christy Elliott | 59,579 | 11,777 | 3,480,174 | - |
- The only share-based awards granted to our NEOs are PSUs and RSUs granted under our LTI Plan. The value of PSUs that vest and are settled (in cash, shares purchased on the open market or issued from treasury) at the end of the three-year performance period is based on corporate performance relative to a Board approved pre-tax DCFPS target and RTSR performance over a three-year performance period, which is multiplied by our common share closing price on the Friday immediately preceding the delivery date. The value of RSUs that vest and are settled (in cash, shares purchased on the open market or shares issued from treasury) is based on the value of our common share closing price on the Friday immediately preceding the delivery date, as described further in Schedule "D" – Long-term incentive plan summary.
- Market or payout value of unvested LTI awards above calculated based on closing price of common shares on December 31, 2025 of $44.00 multiplied by target LTI performance factor of 1.0 times applied to the PSUs and includes corresponding dividend equivalent units based on maintaining Keyera's dividend at $0.54 per share per quarter through to the settlement date. The actual amount paid to the NEO upon vesting of the PSUs may be higher or lower than the amounts presented above, based on actual corporate performance.
- Under our LTI Plan, PSUs and RSUs do not vest until the vesting date. In the case of PSUs, the vesting date is three years following the date of grant. RSUs granted to our NEOs in 2025 vest in annual, equal one-third increments over the three-year life of the grant. As all LTI grants to our NEOs prior to 2025 are granted in July, the first third of 2025 RSU grants to our NEOs vested in February 2026. There were therefore no vested, unpaid share-based awards outstanding (including RSUs) for any of our NEOs as at December 31, 2025. (See "Compensation Discussion and Analysis – Long-Term Incentive Plan").
Incentive plan awards: value vested or earned during the year
The following table shows the value of incentive plan awards vested or earned for each NEO during the year ended December 31, 2025. As Keyera does not have an option plan, our NEOs do not receive option-based awards. Share-based awards refer to (i) PSUs granted to our NEOs in 2022 that vested and were settled in 2025 and (ii) RSUs granted to our NEOs in 2022, 2023 and 2024 that vested and were settled in 2025. Non-equity incentive plan compensation refers to 2025 annual bonus awards which were paid to our NEOs in cash in February 2026.
| NEO | Share-based awards value vested during the year ($)(3) | Non-equity incentive plan compensation value earned during the year ($)(3) |

Retirement benefits
Executives participate in the same defined contribution (DC) registered pension plan available to all employees. Under the plan, participants select from various investment options and manage their own accounts. Keyera does not have a defined benefit pension plan. Pension contributions made by Keyera are based on a combination of age plus years of credited service. Keyera's contribution rates are as follows:
| Age plus credited service | Less than 45 years | 45 and 54 years | 55 years or more |
|---|---|---|---|
| Contribution rate (% base salary) | 6% | 8% | 10% |
Pensionable earnings are based on an employee's base salary. Contributions by Keyera to an employee's DC pension plan are subject to limitations imposed by the Canadian Revenue Agency which was $33,810 in 2025 (contribution limit). Where contribution amounts made by Keyera on behalf of the NEO exceed the contribution limit, the excess amount is paid to the NEO in cash, less taxes, and withholdings each month. Keyera does not have a supplemental pension plan for its executives.
On November 13, 2025, the Board, upon recommendation by the HRC and the HRC's independent advisor, Southlea, approved a change to Keyera's pension plan that changed the retirement age from 65 to 55 with 10 years of service or a combination of age plus service equaling at least 65. As this change was to Keyera's pension plan, there were no amendments to the LTI Plan and therefore no shareholder approval was required. Normal retirement can now begin at 55 provided that the participant has 10 years of service, or where a combination of age plus service totals 65.. Payments must begin by the end of the calendar year of the participant's 71st birthday. The DC pension and corresponding contribution value for our NEOs in 2025 is shown in the table below.
| NEO | Accumulated value at start of year ($) | Compensatory ($)^{1)} | Accumulated value at year end ($) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dean Setoguchi | 523,082 | 76,998 | 625,045 |
| Eileen Marikar | 545,253 | 49,494 | 643,942 |
| James Urquhart | 341,777 | 47,310 | 411,488 |
| Jarrod Beztliny | 756,677 | 40,743 | 903,071 |
| Christy Elliott | 52,149 | 31,632 | 92,959 |
- Amounts include pension contributions made by Keyera on behalf of each NEO, plus any excess pension contribution amount. Messrs., Setoguchi, Urquhart, and Beztliny, and Ms. Marikar reached the contribution limit before the end of the year. Therefore, the excess amount was paid to these NEOs in cash, subject to tax withholdings. There were no above-market or preferential earnings.
Termination and change of control benefits
Executive employment agreements
Each of our NEOs have EEAs which provide for prescribed cash severance entitlements (described below) upon termination of employment, including following a change of control (CofC) transaction. Severance entitlements for our NEOs are generally consistent whether their employment is terminated: (i) involuntarily by the corporation (without cause); or (ii) by the NEO for specified "good reason", including where either of the foregoing events occurs at or within a specified time following a CofC transaction.
Under the EEAs, where an NEO's employment is terminated for any of the reasons described above, he or she will receive a cash payment equal to the aggregate of the NEO's: (i) annual base salary; (ii) target annual bonus award or prior three-year average annual bonus award (whichever is greater); and (iii) value of benefits (valued at 20% of base salary), multiplied by a 24-month severance period. The NEO also receives a lump sum of $20,000 for outplacement services.
In the event of a CofC transaction, the NEO is entitled to the same cash severance payment where, in the eighteen-month period following such transaction, his or her employment is terminated either: (i) involuntarily by the corporation
- For SVPs appointed after July 2021, severance entitlements are up to a maximum of 18 months (from prior 24 months).
Keyera Corp. — 2026 Management Information Circular
(without cause); or (ii) the NEO elects to terminate for "good reason". Such severance payments are commonly referred to as "double trigger", as they require both a CofC transaction and subsequent termination of employment for such cash severance to be payable.
The EEAs also address NEO entitlements where employment ends due to termination for cause, resignation, retirement, or death, described below.
The EEAs contain restrictive covenant provisions that apply to the NEO's post-employment conduct.
Long-term incentive entitlements
Keyera's LTI Plan includes a "double trigger" LTI vesting provisions which apply upon a CofC of Keyera. Such provisions require both the occurrence of a CofC and subsequent termination of employment for unvested LTIs to vest and be paid out. For executives, including our NEOs, these double trigger LTI provisions now align with the cash severance provisions of their EEAs, described above. Such changes apply to LTI grants starting in July 2022, and therefore include 2023, 2024 and 2025 annual LTI grants, to our NEOs.
Annual LTI awards
Under the current LTI Plan, in the event of termination of employment (without cause), an NEO's unvested LTI awards vest and are paid out on a pro-rata basis, based on time between the original grant date and the termination date. For PSU awards, pre-tax DCFPS performance is determined based on Keyera's performance up to the most recently completed quarter that is at least 20 days prior to the termination date. If four or fewer fiscal quarters were completed, such performance is calculated using a performance multiplier of 1.0 times. In such event, RTSR performance is calculated from the grant date to end of the last fiscal quarter. In both cases, the final number of vested share units are valued based on the VWAP of our common shares over the first 20 days of the 22 trading days prior to the termination date.
In the event of a CofC, if the acquiring company cannot replace unvested LTIs, such LTIs shall vest and be valued by using the applicable closing price of our common shares on the second trading day immediately prior to the effective date of the CofC transaction. For PSUs, pre-tax DCFPS performance is determined using Keyera's actual performance from the PSU grant date to the last date of the month before the CofC effective date unless four quarters or less have been completed since such CofC effective date, in which case target PSU performance of 1.0 times is used, and RTSR performance is determined based on actual performance from the grant date to the second trading day before the CofC effective date.
Change of control definition
Under both the current EEAs and LTI Plan, a "change of control" is defined as a transaction or series of transactions involving, in respect of Keyera: (i) the disposition of all or substantially all of its assets to a third party; (ii) its liquidation, dissolution or winding up; (iii) a transaction that results in its shareholders no longer controlling more than 50% of its voting securities and/or its directors no longer constituting a majority of our Board; (iv) acquisition by a third party of 50% or more of our outstanding shares; (v) a change in the composition of the Board as a result of a contested election whereby the majority of whom directors prior to such election are not subsequently elected to the Board; or (vi) the Board determines a CofC to have occurred.
Keyera Corp. — 2026 Management Information Circular 96
Termination events
NEOs' respective entitlements under our current EEAs and LTI Plan, including on or following a change of control, are outlined below.
| Termination event | Description | EEA entitlement | LTI Plan entitlement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Without Cause | NEO's employment is involuntarily terminated by Keyera other than for cause (whether in normal course or following change of control) | Cash payment based on NEO's base salary; annual bonus award target or prior 3-year average award (greater of) and benefits, calculated using a 24-month severance period.^{15} NEO also receives $20,000 for outplacement services | Unvested PSUs and RSUs outstanding as of such date vest and are settled in cash (or as otherwise determined by the Board) on a pro-rata basis relative to time between the grant date and termination date. The value of any settlement amount paid is calculated using the VWAP of our common shares over the first 20 days of the 22 trading days prior to the termination date. |
| The Payout Multiplier applicable to PSUs shall generally be calculated based on shareholder return and operational metrics for periods completed prior to the termination date. | |||
| For entitlements upon a CofC transaction, see narrative under "Long-term incentive entitlements" above | |||
| Good Reason | NEO elects to terminate employment for "good reason" (defined as a unilateral fundamental change in the NEO's role, compensation or reporting relationship or a required relocation). In the event of a change of control, the NEO must make this election within six months following the transaction | Same severance entitlements as described for a "termination without cause" above | Same treatment as described for "without cause" above |
| For Cause | Termination of NEO's employment by Keyera for "cause" as defined by common law | NEO is paid for any amounts owed up to date of termination. Receives no severance or other entitlements | Unvested PSUs and RSUs are immediately forfeited by NEOs and cancelled |
| Resignation | NEO resigns from Keyera | NEO is paid for any amounts owed to date of resignation. Receives no severance or other entitlements | Unvested PSUs and RSUs are immediately forfeited by NEOs and cancelled |
| Retirement | NEO retires from Keyera (and is of retirement age) | NEO is paid for any amounts owing to date of retirement. Receives no severance or other entitlements beyond accrued pension amounts | PSUs and RSUs held at the date of retirement are settled and paid out, on a pro-rata basis, in accordance with the calculation and methodology described under "without cause" above. |
| Death | Death of NEO | NEO's estate is paid for any amounts owed up to date of death. HRC has discretion to award any annual bonus award earned to date of death | PSU and RSU grants are accelerated and paid out to NEO's estate |
- For SVPs appointed after July 2021, severance entitlements are up to a maximum of 18 months (from prior 24 months).

| Total | 4,584,104 | 5,129,513 | 3,230,339 | 3,858,583 |
- Cash severance amounts include, where applicable, an NEO's base salary, employee benefits (valued at 20% base salary) for a 24-month period for Mr. Setoguchi, Ms. Marikar, Mr. Urquhart, and Mr. Beztliny. Ms. Elliott is calculated at 18 months. For all NEOs, amounts include a $20,000 lump sum cash payment for outplacement services.
- In the event of a termination without cause or retirement, vesting of previously granted unvested LTI awards is accelerated, however, such awards are settled and paid out based on timing of termination date relative to the original LTI grant date. For PSUs, where termination occurs prior to the first anniversary of grant, 33.33% of unvested LTI awards are paid out; between the first and second anniversary of grant, 66.66% are paid out, and 100% are paid out in event of termination after the second anniversary of the respective LTI grant date. In addition, RSUs that would have otherwise been received within the 12 months following the termination date are paid out. The above values are calculated using the foregoing schedule, assuming a December 31, 2025 termination date, and based on the closing price of our common shares on December 31, 2025, which was $44.00.
- In the event of a termination without cause or upon a change of control, annual bonus award payments are based on two times the greater of the target annual bonus award or the prior three-year average annual incentive award.
- For termination upon a change of control, all unvested PSUs and RSUs fully accelerate and are paid in cash, as described above.
- For the above, annual bonus award entitlements for all NEOs have been calculated as though each had reached age 55 with 10 years of service. Such retiree (age 55 or over with 10 years of service) treatment provides NEOs with a full-year annual bonus award upon retirement based on target value. Under our annual bonus plan, NEOs who retire before age 55 do not receive an annual bonus award. Of our NEOs, Mr. Setoguchi and Mr. Urquhart are currently age 55 or older.
- Upon death, annual bonus award is calculated as of target and an NEO's unvested PSU and RSU awards vest upon date of death, however performance is based on: (i) pre-tax DCFPS a payout multiplier of 1.0 times (if four or less quarters are completed or average pre-tax DCFPS from grant date to last completed fiscal quarter that is at least 20 days before death (where death occurs in second or third years of grant)); (ii) RTSR calculated from end of last fiscal quarter prior to date of death. Above PSU values have been calculated based on: (i) a share price of $44.00, the closing price of Keyera common shares on December 31, 2025 (ii) dividend paid up to December 31, 2025; and (iii) PSU payout multiplier in accordance with the plan.

Keyera Corp. — 2020 Management Information Circular 100
Schedule “A”
- Shareholder rights plan summary
Keyera Corp. — 2026 Management Information Circular
The following is a summary of the principal terms of the SRP of Keyera proposed to be continued and reconfirmed, provided requisite shareholder approval is obtained at the meeting. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the SRP, which is available on our website at www.keyera.com.
Overview
The SRP provides a mechanism, whereby a take-over bid must remain open for at least 105 days (unless shortened by Keyera as permitted by regulations) and must remain open for a further 10 days after an acquiring person (as described below) publicly announces that the shares deposited or tendered and not withdrawn constitute more than 50% of the shares outstanding held by independent shareholders (as described below).
Under the SRP, Keyera has issued one right (Right) for each share issued and outstanding since May 9, 2017, being the effective date of the SRP, and one Right has and will be issued for each share issued since May 9, 2017 and prior to the earlier of the separation time (as described below) and the termination of the SRP. The Rights automatically trade and transfer with their underlying shares unless and until an event occurs that causes a separation, which would include a flip-in event (as described below) or the announcement of an intention to commence a take-over bid (other than Permitted Bid, as described below). The Rights are not exercisable unless and until there is such a separation. The issuance of the Rights does not change the manner in which shareholders currently trade their shares.
A flip-in event would occur if a person were to become an "acquiring person", that is, if a person acquires beneficial ownership (as defined in the SRP) of at least 20% of the outstanding shares other than pursuant to certain exceptions such as a Permitted Bid or any other take-over bid in respect of which the Board has waived the application of the SRP (i.e., an exempt acquisition). If the person acquires shares under a Permitted Bid or exempt acquisition or one of the other specified exceptions, they are not considered to be an acquiring person and no flip-in event occurs. If a person does become an acquiring person, each Right then entitles each holder (other than the acquiring person or any of its affiliates, associates or joint actors) to purchase shares at a 50% discount. Each holder of a Right may then purchase that number of common shares having a fair market value at the relevant time equal to twice the exercise price for an amount equal to the exercise price, in effect permitting common shares to be acquired at a substantial discount to the market price at the time of exercise.
The acquiring person is not permitted to exercise any Rights. The SRP provides that the acquiring person's Rights become null and void when the flip-in event occurs. The SRP also provides that the Board may either waive the SRP or redeem the Rights at a nominal price in certain circumstances. The SRP thereby encourages unsolicited bidders to either make a Permitted Bid or to approach the Board with their offer and attempt to convince the Board to either waive the flip-in event or to redeem the Rights. If the offer is coercive or inadequate, the Board can choose not to cooperate with the bidder and not to agree to waive the SRP or redeem the Rights.
Key Characteristics
The key characteristics of the SRP are described in more detail below:
-
Creation and Issuance of Rights. Pursuant to the SRP, Keyera issued one Right for each share outstanding on May 9, 2017, being the date of the shareholder meeting in 2017 when the current version of the SRP was approved by shareholders and will continue to issue one Right for each additional share issued since May 9, 2017 but prior to the earlier of any separation time and the expiration time (as described below). Any certificates issued for shares after May 9, 2017 (but prior to the close of business at the separation time or the expiry of the Rights) will continue to include a legend evidencing the Rights. The issuance of the Rights is not dilutive and does not affect reported earnings or cash flow per share unless the Rights separate from the underlying shares in connection with which they were issued and become exercisable or are exercised. The issuance of the Rights also does not change the manner in which shareholders currently trade their common shares of Keyera, and is not intended to interfere with Keyera's ability to undertake equity offerings in the future.
-
Term of SRP. The SRP must be reconfirmed by shareholders every three years to remain in effect and will remain in effect until the "expiration time", which, pursuant to the SRP, is defined as the earlier of: (i) the "termination time", generally being the date on which the Rights are redeemed due to operation of the SRP; and (ii) the close of business on the date on which the SRP is not reconfirmed at an annual meeting of shareholders of Keyera in the year 2020 and every third annual meeting of shareholders thereafter. In order to be reconfirmed at a reconfirmation meeting, the SRP must be reconfirmed by a resolution passed by a majority of votes cast by independent shareholders who vote in respect thereof.
Keyera Corp. — 2026 Management Information Circular
-
Separation Time. The Rights are not exercisable, and are not separable from the shares in connection with which they were issued until the "separation time" being the close of business on the 10th trading day after the earlier of: (a) the first date of public disclosure of facts indicating that a person has become an acquiring person (i.e. that there has been a flip-in event); (b) the date of commencement or first public announcement of the intent of a person to commence a take-over bid that does not qualify as a Permitted Bid; and (c) the date on which a Permitted Bid ceases to qualify as a Permitted Bid. Unless and until the separation time occurs, the Rights will continue to be attached to and trade with the shares.
-
Flip-in Event. When a person becomes an acquiring person, the Rights beneficially owned by the acquiring person (or any of its affiliates, associates or joint actors) on or after the earlier of the separation time and the first date of public announcement that an acquiring person has become such, shall become null and void. All other Rights holders are entitled to purchase common shares at a substantial discount to the market price at the time of exercise.
-
Acquiring Person. An acquiring person is a person that becomes the beneficial owner of 20% or more of the outstanding shares, other than through certain types of acquisitions specified in the SRP, including; a voting share reduction (generally, a repurchase or redemption of shares by Keyera which has the effect of increasing the person's or company's percentage ownership of Keyera); a permitted bid acquisition (an acquisition of shares made pursuant to a Permitted Bid or Competing Permitted Bid, as described below); an exempt acquisition (an acquisition in respect of which the Board has waived the application of the SRP or an acquisition made pursuant to a shareholder-approved transaction such as an amalgamation or arrangement or an acquisition made as an intermediate step in a larger transaction where the acquiring party distributes the shares out to its securityholders); and a pro rata acquisition (generally, the acquisition of shares pursuant to a rights offering, public offering or private placement where such person does not acquire a greater percentage of shares than such person's percentage of shares beneficially owned immediately prior to such acquisition).
-
Beneficial Ownership, Exemptions for Portfolio Managers and Others, and Permitted Lock-up Agreements. In determining whether a person has become an acquiring person, all shares over which the person has beneficial ownership must be included. A person is deemed to beneficially own any shares which are owned by its associates or affiliates or by persons or companies "acting jointly or in concert" with such person and any shares which such person (or any of its affiliates, associates or joint actors) has the right to acquire within 60 days. Specific exclusions clarify that portfolio managers, fund managers, trust companies, crown agents engaged in the management of investment funds and pension plan and registered plan administrators are not caught simply because they hold such security in the ordinary course of their duties. In addition, to the extent there had been any shareholders holding at least 20% of the outstanding shares as of May 9, 2017, such shareholders would have been grandfathered and would not trigger a flip-in event as a result of their current holdings but would become an acquiring person upon the acquisition of additional shares amounting to more than 1% of the outstanding shares. Keyera is not aware of any such 20% shareholder.
A person may also be considered to be the beneficial owner of shares that are subject to a lock-up agreement. A lock-up agreement is an agreement under which a shareholder (a "Locked-Up Shareholder") agrees to deposit or tender its shares to a particular bid (the "Lock-Up Bid"). The person who makes the Lock-Up Bid will be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the shares of the Locked-Up Shareholder unless the agreement it enters into with the Locked-Up Shareholder is a "permitted lock-up agreement". In order for a lock-up agreement to constitute a "permitted lock-up agreement", certain conditions must be met (a "Permitted Lock-Up Agreement").
A Permitted Lock-Up Agreement is one which the terms of such agreement are publicly disclosed and a copy is made publicly available and which permits the Locked-up Shareholder to withdraw its shares from the Lock-Up Bid to tender to another take-over bid or support another transaction that will provide greater value to the Locked-Up Shareholder than the Lock-Up Bid, subject to certain exceptions. If the Lock-Up Bid is for less than 100% of the shares, a Permitted Lock-Up Agreement must also permit the Locked-Up Shareholder to withdraw its shares from the lock-up to tender to another take-over bid or support another transaction offering to acquire a greater number of shares for at least the same consideration per share, again subject to certain exceptions. A Permitted Lock-Up Agreement is not allowed to require a Locked-Up Shareholder to pay excessive fees, penalties, expense reimbursement or other amounts if it fails to deposit or tender its shares to the Lock-Up Bid or withdraws shares previously tendered in order to deposit such shares to another take-over bid or support another transaction.
- Permitted Bids and Competing Permitted Bids. An offeror can avoid causing a flip-in event by making a take-over bid that meets all of the requirements of a "Permitted Bid" under the SRP, being a take-over bid that meets certain requirements, including that the bid must: (i) be made by way of a take-over bid circular; (ii) be made to

all shareholders of record, other than the offeror, for all or a portion of the shares outstanding; (iii) be open for acceptance for at least 105 days following the date of the take-over bid (or such shorter period as permitted by securities regulations); (iv) require a minimum deposit of more than 50% of the shares held by "independent shareholders" (i.e., generally, shareholders who are not, or are not related to, the acquiring person), as defined in the SRP; (v) unless the take-over bid is withdrawn, allow the shares to be deposited up to the close of business on the first date on which the deposited shares are taken up or paid for; (vi) allow the shares deposited pursuant to the take-over bid to be withdrawn until they are taken up and paid for; and (vii) if the required minimum amount of shares are deposited, require the offeror to make a public announcement of that fact and leave the take-over bid open for deposits of shares for an additional 10 days after the announcement.
The SRP also allows for a competing Permitted Bid (a "Competing Permitted Bid") to be made while a Permitted Bid is in existence. A Competing Permitted Bid is a take-over bid that is made after a Permitted Bid has been made but prior to its expiry, termination or withdrawal and that satisfies all the requirements of a Permitted Bid as described above, except that no shares can be taken up or paid for prior to the close of business on the last day of the minimum initial deposit period that such take-over bid must remain open for deposits.
- Redemption Rights and Waiver. An offeror can also avoid causing a flip-in event by negotiating with the Board and convincing them to allow a take-over bid that is not a Permitted Bid but is made by means of a take-over bid circular sent to all holders of shares. In such circumstances, the Board can waive the flip-in event and deem the take-over bid to be an exempt acquisition. Any such waiver in respect of a particular take-over bid will also constitute a waiver of any other take-over bid made to all holders of shares during the period when the first take-over bid is outstanding. The Board can also waive the flip-in event in certain other circumstances; for example, if a person has inadvertently become an acquiring person and within a specified period of time reduces its beneficial shareholdings below 20% of the outstanding shares such that the person is no longer an acquiring person.
Further, the SRP permits the Board to redeem (buy back and cancel) the Rights for a nominal price ($0.00001 per Right) in certain circumstances. The redemption right must generally be made for all and not less than all the Rights and must be made prior to the occurrence of a flip-in event. In addition, the Board may also elect to redeem all of the outstanding Rights prior to a flip-in with shareholder approval.
- Exercise Price. The exercise price is three times the current market value of the common shares from time to time. Before a flip-in event, a Rights holder would receive one share upon the exercise of a Right, the effect of which is to render the Rights of little or no value at the time of issue. After a flip-in event, all Rights holders, other than the acquiring person, would be entitled to purchase common shares at a substantial discount to the market value. The exercise price and the number of Rights are subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events, including a subdivision or consolidation of the common shares, the declaration of a dividend payable through the issuance of certain securities or the issuance of certain securities in exchange for or in lieu of shares.
- Trading of Rights. Until the separation time, the Rights will be evidenced by the outstanding certificates for the associated shares and the Rights may be transferred with, and only with, the associated shares. Unless and until the separation time occurs (or earlier termination or expiration of the Rights), the surrender for transfer of a certificate representing shares will also constitute the transfer of the Rights associated with the shares represented by the certificate. If the separation time occurs, Keyera will either mail separate certificates evidencing the Rights or otherwise register the Rights in an uncertificated "book entry form", but in either case will maintain a separate register for the holders of Rights.
- Deemed Redemption. The SRP provides that, in the event a person acquires shares pursuant to a Permitted Bid or any other take-over bid in respect of which the Board has waived the application of the SRP, the Rights are no longer valid and are deemed to have been redeemed by the Board of Directors.
- Amendments. If the SRP is approved at the meeting, amendments will thereafter be subject to the approval of a majority of independent shareholders, voting in person or by proxy at the applicable meeting, unless to correct any clerical or typographical error or (subject to confirmation at the next meeting of shareholders) make amendments that are necessary to maintain the validity of the SRP as a result of changes in applicable legislation, rules or regulations.

Keyera Corp. — 2020 Management Information Circular 109
Schedule "C"
- Non-GAAP measures
This circular refers to certain financial measures that are not determined in accordance with IFRS® Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board applicable to publicly traded companies in Canada, also known as Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). In particular, this circular refers to the following non-GAAP and other financial measures:
- DCF, or distributable cash flow, which is calculated as cash flow from operating activities adjusted for changes in non-cash working capital, inventory write-downs, maintenance capital expenditures and lease payments, including the periodic costs related to prepaid leases. Commencing with the 2025 LTIP expense settlement, shares delivered to employees under the LTIP are being issued from treasury instead of being acquired in the marketplace. As a result, the calculation of DCF now includes an adjustment for the value of these shares as they do not require an exchange of cash. DCF (adjusted for acquisition-related items), includes net of tax adjustments for: (i) acquisition and integration costs associated with the Plains acquisition, and (ii) net financing adjustments related to the long-term debt issued to partially fund the Plains acquisition purchase price (including incremental interest expense and interest income earned), which have been added back to the calculation of DCF. DCF is used to assess the level of cash flow generated from ongoing operations and to evaluate the adequacy of internally generated cash flow to fund dividends. Keyera also uses after-tax and pre-tax DCF as a performance metric under each of our annual incentive awards and LTI Plan, respectively. See "Dividends: Funds from Operations, Distributable Cash Flow and Payout Ratio" in Keyera's 2025 MD&A;
- DCFPS, or DCF per share, which is calculated by dividing DCF, or DCF (adjusted for acquisition-related items), by the weighted average number of our common shares outstanding for the relevant period. DCF and DCFPS are direct measures used for purposes of Keyera's executive compensation programs;
- Adjusted EBITDA, which means earnings before finance costs, taxes, depreciation, amortization, impairment expense, unrealized gains/losses, and any other non-cash items such as gains/losses on the disposal of property, plant, and equipment. Adjusted EBITDA (adjusted for acquisition-related items), includes an adjustment for the acquisition and integration costs associated with the Plains acquisition. Adjusted EBITDA is a measure used as an indication of earnings generated from operations after consideration of administrative and overhead costs, and Keyera believes adjusted EBITDA is a key indicator of Keyera's financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA is also an indirect measure used as part of Keyera's executive compensation programs. See "EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA" in Keyera's 2025 MD&A;
- Payout ratio, which is calculated as dividends declared to shareholders divided by DCF, or DCF (adjusted for acquisition-related items). Payout ratio is used to assess the sustainability of Keyera's dividend payment program;
- Realized margin, means operating margin excluding unrealized gains and losses on commodity-related risk management contracts; and
- Fee-for-service realized margin, includes realized margin for the Gathering and Processing and Liquids Infrastructure segments.
Management believes that these supplemental measures facilitate the understanding of Keyera's results of operations, leverage, liquidity and financial position and gives useful information to investors and shareholders as they provide increased transparency and insight into the performance of the Corporation.
These are not standard measures under GAAP and, therefore, may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other entities. Readers should refer to Keyera's 2025 annual consolidated financial statements and associated MD&A filed on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca for a full discussion of Keyera's financial performance and where applicable, a reconciliation of these measures to their most closely related GAAP measures.
Comparable measures
Keyera calculates comparable measures by adjusting certain GAAP and non-GAAP measures for specific items it believes are significant but not reflective of Keyera's underlying operations in the period. Except as otherwise described herein, these comparable measures are calculated on a consistent basis from period to period and are adjusted for specific items in each period, as applicable.
Keyera's decision not to adjust for a specific item is subjective and made after careful consideration. Specific items may include:
- income tax refunds and adjustments to enacted tax rates;
- certain fair value adjustments relating to risk management activities;
- legal, contractual and bankruptcy settlements;
- acquisition costs; and
- restructuring costs.
Keyera Corp. — 2026 Management Information Circular 111
Distributable cash flow (DCF)
DCF adjusted for acquisition-related items for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $767 million. DCF was converted to DCFPS by dividing DCF of $767 million by 229,205,151, being the weighted average number of Keyera shares outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2025. This calculation applies to the determination of the corporate multiplier for executive annual incentive awards payments as described above in this circular. For LTI program payments, cash taxes are added back to DCF and DCFPS (pre-tax DCFPS or three-year average pre-tax DCFPS).
The following table presents the reconciliation of cash flow from operating activities, as calculated under GAAP, to DCF.
| Funds from Operations and Distributable Cash Flow

Adjusted EBITDA
Keyera's adjusted EBITDA, adjusted for acquisition-related items, for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $1.16 billion. Keyera's HRC reviews key financial performance indicators, including adjusted EBITDA, in determining Keyera's corporate multiplier for executive annual incentive awards payments as described in this circular. The following table presents the reconciliation of net earnings, as calculated under GAAP, to adjusted EBITDA.

Keyera Corp. — 2020 Management Information Circular 113
Schedule “D”
- Long-term incentive plan summary
Keyera Corp. — 2026 Management Information Circular
Introduction
Keyera's long-term incentive plan (LTI Plan) is designed to attract and retain certain individuals by awarding them for achievements of Keyera's longer term objectives and success by granting them RSU Awards and PSU Awards, as described below (each, an LTI award). Participants are paid with reference to the price of Keyera's common shares (the Shares) at the time of vesting, which promotes alignment of participants' interests with those of the shareholders.
The LTI Plan was initially adopted by the Board on July 1, 2021, and on February 1, 2022, the Board approved certain amendments to the LTI Plan to allow future vested LTI awards made under the LTI Plan to be settled with Shares issued from Keyera's treasury, which provides additional flexibility to Keyera and aligns the LTI Plan with those in place for a number of Keyera's peers and competitors. Keyera's shareholders approved these amendments to the LTI Plan at the May 10, 2022 shareholder meeting, and no amendments to the LTI Plan have been made since such approval was obtained. As the LTI Plan provides for the issuance of Shares from Keyera's treasury to settle LTI awards, the LTI Plan is considered to be a "security-based compensation arrangement" for the purposes of the TSX and its unallocated awards were approved by shareholders on May 15, 2025. A copy of the LTI Plan is attached a Schedule "D" to the management information circular of Keyera dated March 24, 2022 in respect of its 2022 annual meeting of shareholders.
Eligibility
Eligibility and participation in the LTI Plan are at the discretion of the HRC and the Board. Only full-time and part-time employees of Keyera and its affiliates are eligible to receive LTI awards under the LTI Plan. Non-employee directors of Keyera do not participate in the LTI Plan.
LTI Awards
An LTI award is an opportunity to receive Shares of Keyera or cash in lieu of Shares, on a specified date in the future (the Payment Date), subject to the termination provisions described below.
There are two different types of LTI awards: restricted share unit awards (RSU Awards) and performance-based share unit awards (PSU Awards).
RSU Awards: RSU Awards are settled in three equal annual installments following each of the first, second and third anniversaries from the date granted (the Grant Date) regardless of Keyera's performance. The value of the payment is based on the number of vesting RSU Awards, subject to adjustments to reflect the value of dividends paid to Keyera's shareholders between the Grant Date and vesting date of the LTI award (the Vesting Date) and is payable either in Shares or as a cash payment determined by multiplying the number of vesting RSU Awards by the fair market value of the Shares.
PSU Awards: PSU Awards are settled following the end of a three-year performance period beginning on the Grant Date (the Performance Period). The value of the payment is based on the number of vesting PSU Awards, subject to adjustments to reflect the value of dividends paid to Keyera's shareholders between the Grant Date and the Vesting Date and the payout multiplier applicable to such PSU award (the Payout Multiplier), and is payable either in Shares or as a cash payment determined by multiplying the number of vesting PSU Awards by the fair market value of the Shares, as described in more detail below.
Adjustments to LTI Awards
At the time the LTI awards are granted, and subject to the discretion of the Board, one LTI award entitles the participant to one Share on the Payment Date. Once the LTI awards have been granted, they are subject to adjustments that affect the number of Shares (or cash in lieu) that will be paid on the Payment Date.
Adjustment Ratio (RSU Awards and PSU Awards): Both RSU Awards and PSU Awards are subject to adjustments to reflect the value of the dividends paid by Keyera between the Grant Date and the Payment Date (the Adjustment Ratio). The Adjustment Ratio has the effect of increasing the number of Shares (or cash in lieu) to be paid on the Payment Date by an amount equal to the dividends paid by Keyera to its common shareholders.
Payout Multiplier (PSU Awards Only): For PSU Awards, the number of Shares (or cash in lieu) to be paid on the Payment Date will be adjusted by the Payout Multiplier. Subject to the Board's discretion to adjust the Payout Multiplier up or down to align the settlement value of PSU Awards granted on the respective Grant Date with the performance of Keyera for the applicable Performance Period, the Payout Multiplier is based on Board-approved
performance measures. For PSU awards granted in 2022, the Payout Multiplier was based on the following financial performance measures over a three-year Performance Period: i) three-year average pre-tax distributable cash flow per Share (PTDCF); and ii) relative total shareholder return (RTSR) within a defined peer group. The weighting of these performance measures for the Performance Period is 50% PTDCF and 50% RTSR.
Settlement of LTI Awards
LTI awards granted prior to July 1, 2022 may only be settled by payment in either Shares purchased on the open market or cash in lieu of Shares, at the election of the employee, subject to the sole discretion of Keyera. Share Awards granted on or after July 1, 2022 under the LTI Plan may, in addition to the foregoing, be settled with Shares issued from Keyera's treasury. If determined by Keyera, in its sole discretion, prior to the relevant payment date, these Shares may automatically be sold on the TSX by a broker, dealer or plan administrator without any discretion exercised or instructions provided by the holder, and the proceeds of such sales will be used to fund all or a portion of the cash settlement amount to be paid to the holder based on the fair market value of the Shares at the time of vesting.
LTI Award Pool
The LTI Plan states that the number of Shares reserved for issuance from Keyera's treasury from time to time pursuant to LTI awards granted and outstanding under the LTI Plan will not exceed 2.25% of the aggregate number of issued and outstanding Shares (on a non-diluted basis) at such time. All LTI awards granted prior to July 1, 2022 must be settled in cash or by delivering Shares purchased on the open market.
Following the expiration, cancellation or other termination of any LTI awards under the LTI Plan (including upon the vesting and payout of LTI awards), the number of Shares reserved for issuance under the LTI awards which have expired, been cancelled or terminated will automatically become available for issuance in respect of new LTI awards that may subsequently be granted under the LTI Plan, up to the 2.25% maximum limit. As the LTI Plan does not have a fixed maximum number of Shares reserved for issuance under the LTI Plan, the TSX requires that the approval of all unallocated LTI awards under the LTI Plan be sought by Keyera every three years from a majority of its shareholders.
As of December 31, 2025, there were 387,733 RSU Awards and 1,573,308 PSU Awards, for an aggregate of 1,961,041 Share Awards, outstanding that could be settled by the issuance of Shares from treasury upon vesting of such awards, representing 0.86% of the 229,282,818 issued and outstanding Shares as of that date. As such, an aggregate of 3,197,822 Shares were available for issuance for future grants of RSUs and PSUs under the LTI Plan, representing 1.39% of the issued and outstanding Shares. As of March 26, 2026, there were 485,809 RSU Awards and 1,939,328 PSU Awards, for an aggregate of,425,137 Share Awards, outstanding that could be settled by the issuance of Shares from treasury upon vesting of such awards, representing 1.06% of the 229,292,074 issued and outstanding Shares as of that date. As such, as of March 26, 2026, an aggregate of,733,935 Shares are available for issuance for future grants of RSUs and PSUs under the LTI Plan, representing 1.19% of the issued and outstanding Shares.
The maximum number of Shares that may be issued from treasury to an individual under the LTI Plan or any other security-based compensation arrangement of Keyera shall not exceed 5% of the issued and outstanding Shares (on a non-diluted basis) at the date of grant of the LTI award.
The maximum number of Shares that may be issued from treasury to insiders of Keyera (as defined in the Securities Act (Alberta)), together with their associates and affiliates, as a whole under the LTI Plan or any other security-based compensation arrangement of Keyera within any one year period or at any time shall not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding Shares (on a non-diluted basis) at the dates of issuance of Shares or grant of the LTI award.
As the number of Shares that may be issued upon the vesting of RSUs (due to accumulated notional dividends from the Grant Date) and PSUs (due to accumulated notional dividends and the application of the Payout Multiplier) may be higher than the number of RSUs or PSUs, as applicable, granted and outstanding, it is possible that the number of Shares issuable upon vesting of RSUs and PSUs at a particular time, plus the number of RSUs and PSUs that remain issued and outstanding at such time, could exceed 2.25% of the number of then outstanding Shares. Until such RSUs or PSUs vest, there is significant uncertainty as to the number of Shares ultimately issuable upon the vesting of such RSUs or PSUs. However, the number of Shares available for subsequent issuance at any time under the LTI Plan will still only be the 2.25% limit described above, and to the extent that more than 2.25% of the then-issued and outstanding Shares would be required to settle a vested tranche of awards at any time, any excess awards that would result in a Share issuance exceeding this limit will only be settled in cash or by Shares purchased on the open market.

Burn Rate
The burn rate (Burn Rate) shows how rapidly a company is using its shares reserved for equity compensation plans. Keyera's Burn Rate is calculated by dividing the number of Share Awards granted in a given year by the weighted average number of issued and outstanding Shares in the same year. The following table summarizes Keyera's Burn Rate in respect of the LTI Plan for grants made on or after July 1, 2022, as prior to such time no Share Awards could be settled with Shares issued from treasury.

Termination, Change of Control and Retirement
Change of Control. If any Change of Control Transaction (as defined in the LTI Plan) is completed and a participant ceases to be an employee of Keyera because the participant's employment is terminated either:
(a) for an employee other than an executive of Keyera, without cause on or within 12 months of the date of completion of such Change of Control Transaction or, in respect of an executive of Keyera, such period as provided under their respective EEA; or
(b) for an executive of Keyera, for "Good Reason" (as defined in the LTI Plan) on or within such period as provided under the respective EEA immediately following the date of completion of such Change of Control Transaction,
then all outstanding RSU Awards and PSU Awards held by such participant shall be deemed to vest on the Termination Date (as defined in the LTI Plan) and be paid in cash. The Payout Multiplier applied to such vested PSU Awards shall be based on shareholder return, fiscal and operational metrics calculated either immediately prior to the effective date of
Keyera Corp. — 2026 Management Information Circular
the Change of Control Transaction (if the holder's employment is terminated on such date) or for a recently completed period prior to the employee's termination date (if the holder's employment is terminated after the effective date of the Change of Control Transaction).
Termination Without Cause or for Good Reason. The Payment Date for the outstanding LTI awards will be accelerated and a participant will be entitled to receive a portion of the Shares (in the form of cash payment) that they would otherwise have been entitled to receive as follows:
-
RSU Awards:
-
outstanding Shares that would have been received within the 12-month period immediately following the termination date.
-
PSU Awards:
-
where the termination date occurs prior to the first anniversary of the Grant Date, 33.33% of the Shares originally granted under the PSU Award;
-
where the termination date occurs on or after the first anniversary of the Grant Date, but prior to the second anniversary of the Grant Date, 66.66% of the Shares originally granted under the PSU Award; and
-
where the termination date occurs on or after the second anniversary of the Grant Date, 100% of the Shares originally granted under the PSU Award,
and the Payout Multiplier applicable to such awards shall generally be calculated based on shareholder return and operational metrics for periods completed prior to the employee's termination date.
All other outstanding LTI awards immediately expire and any right to receive Shares or cash in lieu thereunder is forfeited.
Termination for Cause or Voluntary Resignation. All LTI awards that have not been settled on or prior to the effective date of the termination of employment in such circumstances will expire immediately and any right to receive Shares pursuant to such LTI awards are forfeited.
Retirement®. On the holder's retirement date, the vesting of all outstanding LTI awards will be accelerated and the participant will be entitled to receive a portion of the Shares (in the form of cash payment, unless determined otherwise by the Board) that they would otherwise have been entitled to receive as follows:
-
RSU Awards:
-
outstanding Shares that would have been received within the 12-month period immediately following the termination date.
-
PSU Awards:
-
if termination occurs prior to the first anniversary of the Grant Date, 33.33% of the Shares;
-
if termination occurs after the first anniversary, but prior to the second anniversary of the Grant Date, 66.66% of the Shares; and
-
if termination occurs after the second anniversary of the Grant Date, 100% of the Shares.
The Payout Multiplier applicable to such PSU Awards shall generally be calculated based on shareholder return and operational metrics for periods completed prior to the employee's retirement date. All outstanding LTI awards and entitlements related thereto that do not result in payment due to the termination provisions described above will be immediately terminated and cancelled and any right to receive Shares or cash in lieu thereunder will be forfeited.
Adjustments and Accelerated Vesting
If Keyera completes any merger, amalgamation, arrangement, business combination, consolidation or similar transaction, sale of all or substantially all of its assets, or is the subject of a take-over bid, or participates in any similar transaction (any of the foregoing referred to as a Transaction), the continuing person resulting from such Transaction (whether as a successor to the Corporation or a new parent entity, the Successor Entity) shall either: (i) assume all
6 Participant's normal retirement date is outlined in "Retirement benefits" and determined in accordance with the provisions of a pension plan sponsored by Keyera, or such other retirement date (including an earlier retirement date) as may be deemed as such by Keyera under a written retirement arrangement with the participant.
Keyera Corp. — 2026 Management Information Circular
outstanding Share Awards, which shall remain outstanding and continue in effect following the effective date of such Transaction in accordance with their terms; or (ii) substitute or replace the Share Awards with similar awards having substantially similar economic and other terms as the Share Awards outstanding immediately prior to the Transaction (Replacement Awards), in each case with adjustments made as required to appropriately and equitably account for and provide economic equivalence based on the securities or other property for which the Shares were exchanged pursuant to the Transaction (including without limitation, adjustments to the number of securities or property underlying the Share Awards or Replacement Awards, as applicable, held by each holder).
However, if: (i) the Successor Entity does not assume or substitute or replace the Share Awards with Replacement Awards on the above-described terms, (ii) any securities or property for which the Shares are exchanged in such Transaction are not listed on a recognized stock exchange in Canada or the United States, or (iii) the Board determines, in its sole discretion, that such substitution or replacement is not practicable or impairs or does not substantially preserve the rights of the holders of Share Awards, then in each case all outstanding Share Awards shall become fully vested and paid out in cash on the basis of Keyera's share performance and metrics achieved prior to the date of the Transaction and based on the fair market value of the Shares at such time.
If a Transaction constitutes a Change of Control Transaction and the holder's employment is terminated in certain circumstances, the applicable provisions described above under "Termination, Change of Control and Retirement" shall apply.
The LTI Plan also contains customary anti-dilution provisions that provide for appropriate adjustments to the Share Awards in the event of a subdivision, consolidation, reclassification, recapitalization or similar transaction affecting the Shares that does not constitute a Transaction.
Amendments and General Matters
-
The Board may, at any time, without the approval of Keyera's shareholders or holders of LTI awards, suspend, discontinue or amend the LTI Plan or an LTI award. However, the Board may not amend the LTI Plan or an LTI award without the approval of the holders of a majority of Shares who vote at a shareholder meeting to:
-
increase the number of Shares, or the percentage of the issued and outstanding Shares, reserved for issuance pursuant to the LTI Plan;
-
expand the categories of individuals who are eligible to participate in the LTI Plan;
-
extend the term of any LTI award beyond the term of such awards provided for under the terms and conditions of the LTI Plan;
-
remove or increase the limits on the number of Shares issuable to any individual holder or to insiders;
-
permit the transfer or assignment of LTI awards, except to permit a transfer to a family member, an entity controlled by the holder of the LTI awards or a family member, a charity or for estate planning or estate settlement purposes; or
-
amend the amendment provisions of the LTI Plan,
unless the change to the LTI Plan or an LTI award results from the application of the adjustment or anti-dilution provisions of the LTI Plan.
Additionally, no suspension, discontinuance or amendment may be made by the Board in respect of previously issued LTI awards that would adversely alter or impair those awards granted to participants under the LTI Plan.
- LTI awards are personal to the holder and are non-transferable and non-assignable, other than as required for estate settlement purposes in the event of the holder's death.
The LTI Plan does not provide for or contemplate the provision of financial assistance to holders, as no financial payment is required to be made by the holder under the operation of the LTI Plan.
