MESSAGE TO SHAREHOLDERS

Dear Fellow Shareholders,

On behalf of the board of directors and management, we invite you to participate in our 2025 annual general meeting of shareholders to be held on April 14, 2025 at 3:00 pm MDT. The items to be acted on are outlined in the Notice of Annual General Meeting and the following pages of this information circular.

==> picture [76 x 59] intentionally omitted <==

We were very pleased with how the business performed in 2024. We achieved strong organic growth in both oil royalty production volumes and reserves in 2024 which were primarily the result of our strategy of investing in low-cost oil plays. Our oil royalty production volumes increased 6% over 2023, reaching an annual record of 13,125 barrels per day . Our proved plus probable oil royalty reserves also increased by 3.5%. The growth in both production and reserves was achieved through third-party operator activity on our royalty properties.

During the year, PrairieSky closed acquisitions of producing and non-producing properties which are expected to enhance our business on a per share basis over the short, medium and long term. We remained disciplined with our capital allocation strategy and returned cash to shareholders through our dividend, which increased to $1.00 per Common Share in 2024, and continued to pay down our bank debt. On February 10, 2025, we announced a 4% increase in our annual dividend policy to $1.04 per Common Share.

Good corporate governance is fundamental to our goal of long-term value creation and requires us to work diligently to bring integrity and excellence into everything we do. As part of our ongoing shareholder engagement, together, we met with several of our institutional shareholders to make introductions as the new Board Chair as well as to provide an opportunity to discuss governance. We welcome the feedback of all our shareholders on our statement of corporate governance practices included in this information circular.

We are continuing to enhance our disclosures with evolving reporting requirements and believe we are well positioned in ESG in both the Canadian oil and gas industry as well as the global community. We were pleased to be added to the Dow Jones Best-in-Class World Index and once again be a member of the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook 2025.

At PrairieSky we have a culture of ownership and it shows through in how our employees show up and demonstrate their commitment to our business each day. We thank them for their efforts. We would also like to thank our fellow directors for their dedication and stewardship throughout the year. Finally, thank you to our shareholders for your continued confidence and support.

/s/ "Margaret A. McKenzie"

INFORMATION CIRCULAR AND PROXY STATEMENT FOR THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

TO BE HELD ON MONDAY, APRIL 14, 2025

PROXIES

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

This information circular and proxy statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies for use at the annual general meeting (the " Meeting ") of the shareholders of PrairieSky Royalty Ltd. (" PrairieSky " or the " Company ") to be held in the Forester’s Lounge at the Calgary Petroleum Club, 319 Fifth Avenue S.W., Calgary, Alberta T2P 0L5 on Monday, April 14, 2025 at 3:00 p.m. (MDT), and at any adjournment thereof.

Forms of proxy must be addressed to and received by TSX Trust Company (the " Transfer Agent "), Attention: Proxy Department, 100 Adelaide Street West, Suite 301, Toronto, Ontario M5H 4H1 or by fax to 1-416-595-9593 at least 48 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, before the time of the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. Registered shareholders may also use the internet at www.voteproxyonline.com to vote their common shares of PrairieSky (" Common Shares "). Shareholders will be prompted to enter the control number which is located on the form of proxy. Votes by internet must be received by 3:00 p.m. (MDT) on Thursday, April 10, 2025 or at least 48 hours prior to the time of any adjournment or postponement of the Meeting, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. The website may also be used to appoint a proxyholder to attend and vote at the Meeting on the shareholder's behalf and to convey a shareholder's voting instructions.

Only shareholders of record at the close of business on February 28, 2025 will be entitled to vote at the Meeting, unless a shareholder has transferred any Common Shares subsequent to that date and the transferee shareholder, not later than 10 days before the Meeting, establishes ownership of such Common Shares and demands that the transferee's name be included on the list of shareholders entitled to vote at the Meeting.

The instrument appointing a proxy must be in writing and must be executed by you or your attorney authorized in writing or, if you are a company, by a duly authorized officer or attorney of the company.

The persons named in the enclosed form of proxy are our officers and/or directors. As a shareholder, you have the right to appoint a person or company, who need not be a shareholder, to represent you at the Meeting. To exercise this right, you should insert the name of the desired representative in the blank space provided on the form of proxy.

ADVICE TO BENEFICIAL HOLDERS OF COMMON SHARES

The information set forth in this section is of significant importance to you if you do not hold your Common Shares in your own name. Only proxies deposited by shareholders whose names appear on the records of the Company as registered holders of Common Shares (" Registered Shareholders ") can be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting. If Common Shares are listed in your account statement provided by your broker, then in almost all cases those Common Shares will not be registered in your name on PrairieSky's records. Such Common Shares will likely be registered under the name of your broker or an agent of that broker. In Canada, the vast majority of shares are registered under the name of CDS & Co., the registration name for CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. (" CDS "), which acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms. Common Shares held by your broker or their nominee can only be voted upon your instructions. Without specific instructions, your broker or their nominee is prohibited from voting your Common Shares. The Company does not know for whose benefit the Common Shares registered in the name of CDS & Co. are held. The majority of Common Shares held in the United States are registered in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee for The Depository Trust Company, which is the United States equivalent of CDS.

==> picture [540 x 15] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [468 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

Applicable regulatory policy requires your broker to seek voting instructions from you in advance of the Meeting. Every broker has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions, which you should carefully follow in order to ensure that your Common Shares are voted at the Meeting. Often, the form of proxy supplied by your broker is identical to the form of proxy provided to Registered Shareholders. However, its purpose is limited to instructing the Registered Shareholder how to vote on your behalf. The majority of brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Investor Communications, Canada (" Broadridge "), which mails a scannable voting instruction form (" VIF ") in lieu of the form of proxy. If you receive a VIF from Broadridge it cannot be used as a proxy to vote Common Shares directly at the Meeting as the proxy must be returned to them well in advance of the Meeting in order to have the Common Shares voted.

Although you may not be recognized directly at the Meeting for the purposes of voting Common Shares registered in the name of your broker, you may attend the Meeting as a proxyholder for the Registered Shareholder and vote your Common Shares in that capacity. If you wish to vote your Common Shares at the Meeting, you must do so as proxyholder for the Registered Shareholder. To do this, you should enter your own name in the blank space on the form of proxy or VIF provided to you and return the document to your broker or the agent of such broker in accordance with the instructions provided by such broker well in advance of the Meeting. It is important that the VIF or form of proxy be received by your broker or the agent sufficiently in advance of the Meeting to enable your broker or the agent to provide voting instructions on your behalf.

NOTICE-AND-ACCESS

The Company has elected to use the "notice-and-access" provisions under National Instrument 54-101 - Communications with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer (the " Notice-and-Access Provisions ") for the Meeting in respect of mailings to its non-registered shareholders (" Beneficial Shareholders ") but not in respect of mailings to its Registered Shareholders. The Notice-and-Access Provisions are rules developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators that reduce the volume of materials that must be physically mailed to shareholders by allowing a reporting issuer to post an information circular in respect of a meeting of its shareholders and related materials online.

The Company has also elected to use procedures known as 'stratification' in relation to its use of the Notice-and-Access Provisions. Stratification occurs when a reporting issuer using the Notice-and-Access Provisions provides a paper copy of an information circular and, if applicable, a paper copy of the financial statements and related management's discussion and analysis (together the " Financial Information ") to some shareholders together with a notice of a meeting of its shareholders. In relation to the Meeting, Registered Shareholders will receive a paper copy of each of a notice of the Meeting, this information circular and proxy statement and a form of proxy; whereas, Beneficial Shareholders will receive a Notice and-Access notification and a request for voting instructions. Furthermore, a paper copy of the Financial Information in respect of the most recent financial year of the Company will be mailed to Registered Shareholders as well as to those Beneficial Shareholders who have previously requested to receive them.

The Company will be delivering proxy-related materials directly to non-objecting Beneficial Shareholders with the assistance of Broadridge and intends to pay for intermediaries to deliver proxy-related materials to objecting Beneficial Shareholders .

REVOCABILITY OF PROXY

You may revoke your proxy at any time prior to a vote. If you or your proxyholder attend the Meeting in person, you or your proxyholder may revoke the proxy and vote in person at the Meeting. In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a proxy may be revoked by an instrument in writing executed by you or your attorney authorized in writing or, if you are a company, under your corporate seal or by a duly authorized officer or attorney of the company. To be effective, the instrument in writing must be deposited either at the head office of the Company at any time up to and including the last business day before the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment or postponement thereof, at which the proxy is to be used, or by a duly executed and deposited form of proxy bearing a later date or time than the date or time of the proxy being revoked.

PERSONS MAKING THE SOLICITATION

This solicitation is made on behalf of the Company's management. PrairieSky will bear the costs incurred in the preparation and mailing of the form of proxy, notice of annual general meeting and this information circular and proxy statement. In addition to mailing forms of proxy, proxies may be solicited by personal interviews, or by other means of communication, by the Company's directors, officers and employees who will not be remunerated therefor.

EXERCISE OF DISCRETION BY PROXY

The Common Shares represented by proxy in favour of management nominees will be voted on every matter at the Meeting. Where you specify a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the Common Shares will be voted or withheld from voting on any matter in accordance with the specification so made. If you do not provide instructions, your Common Shares will be voted in favour of the matters to be acted upon as set out herein. The persons appointed under the form of proxy are conferred with discretionary authority with respect to amendments or variations of those matters specified in the form of proxy and notice of annual general meeting and with respect to any other matters which may properly be brought before the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. At the time of printing this information circular and proxy statement, the Company knows of no such amendment, variation or other matter.

QUORUM FOR MEETING AND APPROVAL REQUIREMENTS

At the Meeting, a quorum shall consist of two (2) or more persons present in person at the Meeting and holding or representing by proxy not less than 25% of the outstanding Common Shares. If a quorum is not present at the opening of the Meeting, the shareholders present may adjourn the Meeting to a fixed time and place (including virtually) but may not transact any other business.

All of the matters to be considered at the Meeting other than the non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation are ordinary resolutions requiring approval by more than 50% of the votes cast in respect of the resolution at the Meeting. The vote on our approach to executive compensation is advisory and the results will not be binding on the board of directors the Company (the " Board ") (see " Matters to be Acted Upon at the Meeting – Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation ").

Beneficial Shareholders who wish to receive a paper copy of this information circular and proxy statement and/or the Financial Information should contact the Transfer Agent at the toll-free number 1-866-600-5869 or by email at [email protected] at any time up to and including the date of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON AT THE MEETING

The following matters will be voted on at the Meeting:

Proposal Management’s Recommendation
_Item 1:_Elect the Directors of the Company FOR
_Item 2:_Appoint the Auditors of the Company FOR
_Item 3:_Approve the AdvisoryVote on Executive Compensation FOR

ITEM 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The Board has fixed the number of directors at seven (7) members. Management is soliciting proxies, in the enclosed form of proxy, for an ordinary resolution in favour of the election as directors of the seven (7) nominees set forth below:

Margaret A. McKenzie P. Jane Gavan Andrew M. Phillips Anna M. Alderson Glenn A. McNamara Sheldon B. Steeves Anuroop S. Duggal

Information on each director is included in the " Information on the Nominated Directors " section of this information circular and proxy statement. The election of the directors will be conducted by voting on each director individually (see " Statement of Corporate Governance Practices – Nomination and Election of Directors – Majority Voting Policy "). In the event that a vacancy among such nominees occurs because of death or for any reason prior to the Meeting, the proxy shall not be voted with respect to such vacancy. All of the proposed nominees were elected as directors at the annual general meeting of shareholders of the Company held on April 22, 2024.

The term of office of each director nominee will be from the date of the Meeting until the next annual meeting of shareholders or until his or her successor is elected or appointed.

The Board unanimously recommends that the shareholders vote FOR the election of each of the director nominees and unless instructed otherwise, the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy will vote FOR the election of each of the director nominees.

ITEM 2: APPOINTMENT OF AUDITORS

Management is soliciting proxies, in the enclosed form of proxy, for an ordinary resolution in favour of the appointment of KPMG LLP, Chartered Professional Accountants, as auditors of the Company, to serve until the next annual meeting of shareholders and to authorize the Board to fix their remuneration as such. KPMG LLP has been the Company's auditor since November 2014. At the 2024 annual general meeting of shareholders of the Company, this resolution passed with 206,307,862 Common Shares voted in favour (97.093% of Common Shares voted at the meeting).

See the Company's annual information form for the year ended December 31, 2024 and dated February 10, 2025 (the " AIF ") on page 108 for additional information regarding the fees paid to our external auditors in 2024 and 2023.

On February 10, 2025, the Audit Committee conducted an annual review of the auditor, which was subsequently reviewed with the Board. Following this review, each of the Board and the Audit Committee unanimously resolved to reconfirm KPMG LLP as auditors of PrairieSky and recommend their appointment to shareholders. The Audit Committee last completed a comprehensive five-year audit quality review in February 2024.

The Board unanimously recommends that the shareholders vote FOR the appointment of auditors and unless instructed otherwise, the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy will vote FOR the appointment of auditors.

==> picture [468 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

ITEM 3: ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The underlying principle for executive pay and PrairieSky’s compensation programs is "pay for performance". We believe that this philosophy achieves the goal of attracting, retaining and motivating employees at all levels, while encouraging behavior that results in the Company's growth and creation of long-term shareholder value. PrairieSky’s compensation programs use a combination of cash and long-term incentives to reflect the Company’s "pay for performance" philosophy and provide for a significant portion of an executive’s compensation at risk while considering good governance practices and corporate risk management.

PrairieSky’s Board welcomes and values input from PrairieSky shareholders on the Company’s compensation programs and provides shareholders with an advisory vote on compensation, commonly referred to as a "say on pay" at the Meeting. As part of the Company’s commitment to strong corporate governance practices, an advisory vote on pay has been held annually since 2017. Shareholders have the opportunity to vote "For" or "Against" our approach to executive compensation (to have a "say on pay") through the following resolution which conforms to the language of the resolution recommended by the Canadian Coalition for Good Governance:

"Resolved, on an advisory basis and not to diminish the role and responsibilities of the board of directors of PrairieSky Royalty Ltd., that the shareholders accept the approach to executive compensation disclosed in the Company’s information circular and proxy statement delivered in advance of the 2025 annual general meeting of shareholders of PrairieSky Royalty Ltd."

As this is an advisory vote, the results will not be binding upon the Board; however, the Board will consider the outcome of the vote as part of its ongoing review of executive compensation. The Board believes that it is essential for the shareholders to be well informed of the Company's approach to executive compensation and considers this advisory vote to be an important part of the ongoing process of engagement between the shareholders and the Board. A detailed discussion of our executive compensation program is provided in the " Compensation Discussion and Analysis " section of this information circular and proxy statement. At the 2024 annual general meeting of shareholders of the Company, this resolution passed with 206,685,414 Common Shares voted in favour (98.473% of Common Shares voted at the meeting).

The Board unanimously recommends that the shareholders vote FOR the advisory vote on executive compensation and unless instructed otherwise, the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy will vote FOR the advisory vote on executive compensation.

None of the proposed directors (nor any personal holding company of any of such persons) is, as of the date hereof, or was within ten years before the date hereof, a director, chief executive officer or chief financial officer of any company (including PrairieSky) that was subject to a cease trade order (including a management cease trade order), an order similar to a cease trade order or an order that denied the relevant company access to any exemption under securities legislation, in each case that was in effect for a period of more than 30 consecutive days (collectively, an " Order ") that was issued while the director was acting in the capacity as director, chief executive officer or chief financial officer; or was subject to an Order that was issued after the director ceased to be a director, chief executive officer or chief financial officer and which resulted from an event that occurred while that person was acting in the capacity as director, chief executive officer or chief financial officer.

Other than as disclosed below, none of the proposed directors (nor any personal holding company of any of such persons) is, as of the date hereof, or has been within the ten years before the date hereof, a director or executive officer of any company (including PrairieSky) that, while that person was acting in that capacity, or within a year of that person ceasing to act in that capacity, became bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency or was subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold its assets.

Ms. Margaret McKenzie was a director of Endurance Energy Ltd. (" Endurance "), a corporation engaged in the exploration and production of natural gas.

None of the proposed directors (nor any personal holding company of any of such persons) has been subject to any penalties or sanctions imposed by a court relating to securities legislation or by a securities regulatory authority or has entered into a settlement agreement with a securities regulatory authority or any other penalties or sanctions imposed by a court or regulatory body that would likely be considered important to a reasonable investor in making an investment decision.

VOTING POLICY FOR ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Director nominees are voted for on an individual, not a slate, basis. Furthermore, the Board has adopted a Policy on Directors' Voting Procedures (the " majority voting policy "), which provides that if a nominee for election as a director receives a greater number of votes "withheld" than votes "for" at an uncontested meeting of the shareholders, such nominee shall offer his or her resignation as a director to the Board promptly following the meeting of shareholders at which the director was elected. Upon receiving such offer of resignation, the Governance and Compensation Committee (the " GC Committee "), a subcommittee of the Board as detailed below, will consider such offer and make a recommendation to the Board whether to accept it or not. In the absence of special circumstances, it is expected that the Board will accept the resignation consistent with an orderly transition. The director will not participate in any GC Committee or Board deliberations on the resignation offer. It is anticipated that the Board will make its decision to accept or reject the resignation within 90 days. See " Statement of Corporate Governance Practices – Nomination and Election of Directors – Majority Voting Policy " at page 30 hereof.

STATEMENT OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES

The Board has adopted mandates, position descriptions and corporate governance principles and practices that meet the independence and other governance standards and guidelines set out in National Instrument 52-109 – Certification of Disclosure in Issuers Annual and Interim Filings , National Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees (" NI 52-110 "), National Instrument 58-101 – Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices (" NI 58-101 ") and National Policy 58-201 – Corporate Governance Guidelines . The corporate governance principles address various topics, including:

  • responsibilities and duties of the Board;

  • composition of the Board, including criteria for remaining a director;

  • compensation of the Board;

  • composition and responsibilities of the Audit Committee, the Reserves Committee and the GC Committee;

  • relationship of the Board with management;

  • director orientation and continuing education; and

  • diversity of the Board.

THE BOARD

Currently, the Company has seven (7) directors, six (6) of whom, including the Chair of the Board, are independent as specified in NI 58-101 and one (1) of whom is not as he is the CEO. A total of seven (7) directors are nominated for election at the Meeting, six (6) of whom are independent as specified in NI 58-101. A director is independent if he or she has no direct or indirect material relationship with the Company or its subsidiaries. A "material relationship" is a relationship which could, in the view of the Board, be reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of a director’s independent judgment. Certain types of relationships are, by their nature, considered to be material relationships.

Our Board mandate requires that the Board must hold in camera meetings regularly, without non-independent directors, officers or other management team members present. Both the Board, as well as all Board committees, meet in camera and independent of management at every meeting, generally immediately following regularly scheduled Board meetings and committee meetings or prior to passing resolutions proposed at such meetings. The chairs of the Board and the Board committees follow up with the CEO as necessary with respect to matters requiring management action that are raised at these in camera meetings. The Board also excuses members of management and any non-independent directors from portions of any meeting at which a potential conflict arises or where otherwise appropriate. In 2024, four (4) Board meetings were called and the independent directors met, in camera at or following each meeting. The Board also held several update calls and meetings with management which were not formally constituted as Board meetings.

The Board, through review and approval by the Board Chair and the GC Committee, limits the number of other director positions a PrairieSky director may hold. Prior to nominating any director for election or re-election to the Board, the GC Committee considers whether the director has external commitments that may impede his or her ability to devote sufficient time and focus to the Company's affairs. In determining whether a director's external commitments may impede his or her ability to devote sufficient time and focus to the Company's affairs, the GC Committee considers third-party proxy advisor guidelines as well as each director's individual circumstances, including the nature of the boards the director serves, whether such boards are within a consolidated group of companies, the director's performance including attendance at meetings and the special skills and qualities the director brings to the Board. The directors of the Company who are also directors of other reporting issuers (or the equivalent) are as follows:

DIRECTOR TERM LIMITS

The Board has adopted the Board Renewal Policy which provides a framework for the Company to allow for renewal of the Board by providing for the "deemed resignation" of a director on the earlier of the director: (i) reaching the age of 72; or (ii) having served as a non-executive director of the Company for 15 years.

Upon receipt of a "deemed resignation", the GC Committee will consider whether the continued service of the director would be in the best interests of the Company in light of, among other relevant considerations, the individual director's and the Board's competencies and skills, the size of the Board and the composition of the Board in light of PrairieSky's Board Diversity Policy (as described below) and will make a recommendation to the Board to accept or reject the deemed resignation of the individual director.

If the GC Committee recommends that the Board accept the director's deemed resignation, it shall recommend that the deemed resignation be accepted in conjunction with the Company's next annual general meeting of shareholders or such other date as it reasonably believes will allow for orderly transition. The Board shall consider but is not obligated to follow the recommendation of the GC Committee.

If the deemed resignation of a director pursuant to the Board Renewal Policy is not accepted, the director shall be deemed to re-submit such resignation prior to each annual meeting of shareholders beginning on the next calendar year following the year in which the initial deemed resignation was submitted.

The Board Renewal Policy is available on the Company's website under Corporate Governance Policies and Related Documents at www.prairiesky.com/governance.

TENURE

The GC Committee considers the benefits of regular renewal in the context of the needs of the board at the time and the benefits of the institutional knowledge of the board members. As at December 31, 2024, the Board was comprised of 7 directors with an average tenure of approximately 6 years. The tenure of the PrairieSky’s directors is summarized as follows: three of our directors have been on our Board for approximately 10 years, including the CEO; one of our directors has been on our board for approximately 6 years; and three of our directors have been on our board for less than 2 years.

DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION

The Company maintains an inclusive work environment and diverse workforce that is focused on respect, integrity and inclusion. PrairieSky is committed to maintaining an inclusive work environment that is focused on providing advancement opportunities to persons of all genders, ethnicities and orientations, based on merit and recognizes the value of a diverse and inclusive environment, as it enables broader exchanges of perspectives and enriches discussions at all levels of the business. Annually, the Company provides mandatory diversity and inclusion training for employees which is prepared and presented by a third-party and maintains a blind hiring procedures to reduce unconscious bias in our talent recruitment process.

At December 31, 2024, the Company had three female directors (50% of the independent directors). Of the six (6) independent directors to be nominated at the Meeting, three (3) (50%) are female and one (1) is a racially diverse person bringing overall diversity of the independent members of the Board beyond gender to sixty six percent (66%). Of the Company’s executive, one executive officer (25% of the executive officers) is female and one executive officer is a racially diverse person (25% of the executive officers) bringing overall diversity of the executive officers beyond gender to fifty percent (50%). At December 31, 2024, of the Company's full and part-time employees, 63% were women and of the Company's managers, 67% were women.

BOARD DIVERSITY

The Board has adopted the Board Diversity Policy that recognizes the beneficial impact of diversity on decision-making and overall Board performance. The Board Diversity Policy formally recognizes that the nomination and appointment of candidates with multiple perspectives, knowledge, skills, expertise, education, industry experience and personal characteristics such as age, gender, ethnicity and other distinctions will contribute to the continued success of the Company.

==> picture [540 x 15] intentionally omitted <==

21

==> picture [468 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

The Board Diversity Policy sets out the framework for PrairieSky's approach to Board diversity and outlines the key criteria for the composition of the Board to promote the Company's commitment to diversity and inclusion. In early 2021, the GC Committee and the Board approved certain amendments to the Board Diversity Policy including committing to a "Board Gender Diversity Target" to increase the Board composition to achieve at least thirty percent (30%) women directors by 2025. The Board has surpassed this target and once again in 2025, of the directors proposed for re-election at the Meeting, three candidates, including our Board Chair, are women which represents forty-three (43%) of the Board and 50% of independent directors. The Board also has one director who is a racially diverse person. In line with PrairieSky’s Board Diversity Policy, the Board will give significant consideration to fulfilling and/or maintaining its diversity targets, and specifically adding female and other diverse candidates who otherwise bring complementary skills to the Board, in the event of an earlier planned or unplanned retirement. The Board Diversity Policy also includes a mandate to foster inclusivity across the organization including at the Board level, for persons who identify as ethnic, racial or Indigenous. At the current time, there is no plan to increase the size of the Board beyond seven (7) directors (six (6) independent directors).

The GC Committee oversees the evaluation and assesses and considers the effectiveness of the Board as a whole, the committees of the Board and the contribution of individual members on a periodic basis. The GC Committee, in conjunction with the Board, also reviews the experience, qualifications and skills of PrairieSky's incumbent directors to ensure that the composition of the Board and committees and the competencies of the members are in line with those that the GC Committee considers that the Board and respective committees should possess.

In considering suitable candidates for appointment or re-election to the Board, or whether to accept the deemed resignation of a director pursuant to the Board Renewal Policy, the GC Committee shall: (i) consider all aspects of diversity including, but not limited to, those described above, in order to enable the GC Committee to discharge its duties and responsibilities effectively; (ii) assess the skills and backgrounds collectively represented on the Board to ensure that they reflect the diverse nature of the business environment in which PrairieSky operates; (iii) consider candidates on merit against objective criteria having due regard to the benefits of diversity on the Board; and (iv) engage, as deemed necessary, qualified independent external advisors to identify and assess candidates that meet the Board's skills and diversity criteria.

In addition, when identifying potential candidates for appointment to the Board in order to achieve the Board diversity target, the GC Committee shall: consider candidates on merit against objective criteria and with due regard for the benefits of diversity on the Board; maintain an "evergreen" list of potential candidates for election to the Board, which list would include parity between men and women candidates from a broad range of organizations; periodically assess the effectiveness of the nomination process designed to achieve the Company's diversity objectives outlined in the Board Diversity Policy; and consider the level of representation of women on the Board and ensure that women are included in the short list of candidates being considered for a Board position.

Each year the GC Committee is to: (i) assess the effectiveness of the Board Diversity Policy and related objectives; (ii) monitor and review the Company's progress in achieving its aspirational target for gender diversity; (iii) monitor the implementation of the Board Diversity Policy; and (iv) report to the Board and recommend any revisions that may be necessary. Additionally, the Board intends to review its Diversity Policy upon release of any new amendments or guidelines from the Canadian Securities Administrators as well as any other changes to recommended best practices.

The Board Diversity Policy is available on the Company's website under Corporate Governance Policies and Related Documents at www.prairiesky.com/governance.

REPRESENTATION OF WOMEN IN EXECUTIVE POSITIONS

The Company has not adopted specific targets for women in executive positions. The Board believes that the appointment of executive officers should be made based on each candidate's experience, knowledge, education, management capabilities and competency, as well as the effect of the appointment on the diversity of the Company's executive officers as a whole. Our Senior Vice-President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer (" CFO ") is a woman (25% of executive officers in 2024) and of the Company's employees at December 31, 2024, 63% were women and of the Company's managers, 67% were women. We believe the Company's philosophy of development and promotion from within will strengthen our values and culture, aid in retention of talent and provide a diversity of options for succession.

BUSINESS CODE OF CONDUCT

The Board has adopted a written Business Code of Conduct that encourages and promotes a culture of sound, ethical and responsible business conduct and the highest levels of personal conduct and ethical standards that is applicable to all individuals engaged in the Company's business, including all employees, contractors, suppliers, officers and directors of the Company. The Company has filed a copy of its Business Code of Conduct on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.com under the Company's profile and on the Company's website under Corporate Governance Policies and Related Documents at www.prairiesky.com/governance.

The Business Code of Conduct reflects PrairieSky's core values of honesty, integrity and fairness and was developed in alignment with key principles from the United Nations Global Compact, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the United Nations' Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the United Nation's Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, and the International Labor Organization's Declaration of Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work. The principles in the Business Code of Conduct shape the Company's activities and address the following matters relating to four main categories of (A) Ethics and Integrity, (B) Labour Practices and Standards, (C) Environment, and (D) Compliance: compliance with laws and regulations; commitments to anti-corruption, anti-bribery; prohibitions on inducements, gifts and facilitation payments; avoiding conflicts of interest; promoting fair dealing and no improper advantages; avoiding unfair competition; prohibition on taking advantage of corporate opportunities; imposing anti-fraud measures and mandatory reporting; respecting confidentiality; securities trading, insider reporting and trading in restricted securities; disclosure procedures; maintaining accurate books and records; data privacy and information security; protection, and acceptable use, of systems and assets; restrictions on political involvement and lobbying activities; respecting fundamental human rights; expressly prohibiting discrimination, harassment in the workplace and promoting diversity and equal opportunity; commitment to health and safety; commitment to respecting Indigenous community rights and the environment; recognizing the benefits of community investment; outlining the responsibilities of covered persons; detailing non-compliance with the Business Code of Conduct; mandatory reporting of illegal or unethical behavior; monitoring and enforcement actions by the Company; and waivers and amendments of the Business Code of Conduct. No waiver of the Business Code of Conduct may be made where the conduct subject to the waiver contravenes any applicable law, rule, regulation or stock exchange requirement. Waivers of the Business Code of Conduct for officers or directors may only be made by the Board and will be promptly disclosed to the extent required by law, rule, regulation or stock exchange requirement.

The Business Code of Conduct applies to all individuals engaged in the Company's business, including all employees, contractors, suppliers, officers and directors of the Company. All employees (including executive officers) and directors are required to certify compliance with the Business Code of Conduct when joining PrairieSky and on an annual basis, along with other Company policies that are congruent with the Business Code of Conduct and provide more detailed information and requirements on specific topics. New directors, officers, employees and contractors are required to receive an orientation about the Company's Business Code of Conduct and other Company policies when they commence their engagement with PrairieSky. In addition, the Board has the responsibility to monitor compliance with the Business Code of Conduct and to recommend improvements as deemed necessary or appropriate. The Company monitors compliance with the Business Code of Conduct, and the Board and management of the Company encourage and promote a culture of ethical business conduct in the following ways: (i) annual review and certification; (ii) Business Code of Conduct training program; (iii) fraud response plan; (iv) Business Code of Conduct violation reporting; and (v) internal audit functions.

The GC Committee and the Board review and update the Company's Business Code of Conduct regularly to ensure that it is consistent with current industry trends and standards, clearly communicates PrairieSky's organizational mission, values, and principles, and, most importantly, serves as a reference guide for directors, management, employees, suppliers and consultants of the Company to support everyday decision making. The Business Code of Conduct was last reviewed and amended by the GC Committee in 2024 and ratified by the Board in 2024.

INVESTIGATIONS PRACTICE POLICY

In addition to the Business Code of Conduct, the Board has adopted an investigations practice policy which includes procedures to address the confidential, anonymous submission by all individuals engaged in the Company's business, including all former, present and prospective employees, contractors, officers and directors of concerns regarding any suspected violations of the Company's Business Code of Conduct or any related policies. The Board believes that providing a

==> picture [540 x 15] intentionally omitted <==

23

==> picture [468 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

forum to raise concerns about ethical conduct and treating all complaints with the appropriate level of seriousness fosters a culture of ethical conduct. See the Company's website at www.prairiesky.com/governance under Corporate Governance Policies and Related Documents and the headings "Investigations Practice Policy" and "Whistleblower Process" for further information regarding the investigations practice and the independent anonymous whistleblower hotline (www.prairiesky.confidenceline.net).

SUPPLIER CODE OF CONDUCT

The Company’s Supplier Code of Conduct (the " Supplier Code ") has been implemented across its supply chain which consists almost exclusively of professional service providers, information technology services and applications, and other service providers that support the Company's office and remote work environments. This includes consultants, contractors, advisors and other business partners through which PrairieSky procures goods and services, as well as their employees, subcontractors and sub-suppliers. PrairieSky is committed to conducting its business ethically and legally, with honesty, integrity, and fairness. PrairieSky's high standard of responsible business practices not only applies to the Business Code of Conduct, but also extends to our suppliers through the Supplier Code which was developed in alignment with principles from the United Nations Global Compact, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the United Nations’ Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, and the International Labor Organization’s Declaration of Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work. The Supplier Code was updated in 2024 and applies to all of PrairieSky's suppliers including all entities that provide goods or services, whether to or on behalf of PrairieSky. The Supplier Code requires full compliance with applicable laws, including fundamental human rights, non-discrimination, freedom of association and collective bargaining, Indigenous and community rights, and health and safety. The Supplier Code also includes PrairieSky's standards as they relate to the environment, pollution prevention and resource reduction, waste, energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, forced labour, as well as ethics and integrity requirements including anti-corruption and bribery provisions. For a complete description of the Supplier Code please refer to our website at www.prairiesky.com/governance under Corporate Governance Policies and Related Documents .

HUMAN RIGHTS, HEALTH AND SAFETY, DISCRIMINATION, HARASSMENT AND EQUAL OPPORTUNITY

The Company has adopted: (i) a Human Rights Policy; (ii) a Respectful Workplace Policy; (iii) an Environment, Climate Change, Health and Safety Policy; and (iv) a Joint Worksite Health and Safety Committee Policy which, collectively, in addition to the Company's Business Code of Conduct, provide the framework for the Company to maintain a safe working environment, free of discrimination and harassment, in which all individuals are treated with respect and dignity, are able to contribute fully and have equal opportunities.

At PrairieSky, respect for human rights is fundamental to the way we do business and is part of the Company's core values across all of its business activities. The Human Rights Policy was updated in 2024 and articulates PrairieSky's responsibility to respect all applicable employment, labour and human rights laws and regulations as well as internationally proclaimed human rights principles. The Human Rights Policy was developed based on the principles of the United Nations Global Compact (of which the Company is a signatory), the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Labor Organization's Declaration of Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work to confirm PrairieSky's alignment with respect to human rights and to ensure its compliance with all legislation (including, but not limited to, employment standards codes, human rights acts, personal information protection acts and occupational health and safety codes) and recognized standards.

The foregoing policies also deal with harassment and workplace violence, for which the Company has zero tolerance. Such policies articulate the Company's position with respect to: (i) diversity, equal opportunity, discrimination, harassment and threats or acts of violence; (ii) ensuring a safe work environment for its employees; (iii) its commitment to the protection of the environment; (iv) reporting inappropriate conduct, harassment and workplace violence; (v) disciplinary measures; and (vi) the development of procedures to prevent and address human rights issues as PrairieSky supports the Ten Principles of the United Nations Global Compact with respect to human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption.

More details on PrairieSky's commitment to the Ten Principles of the United Nations Global Compact can be found at www.unglobalcompact.org/what-is-gc/participants/138331-PrairieSky-Royalty-Ltd. PrairieSky's progress report in relation to

its commitment to the principles set forth in the United Nations Global Compact can be found in our Sustainability Report on PrairieSky's website at www.prairiesky.com/responsibility/our-approach. In addition, the Company’s first report detailing its compliance with the Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act (the " Modern Slavery Act ") was prepared on May 22, 2024 and is available on the Company’s website at www.prairiesky.com/responsibility/governance.

ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL, GOVERNANCE AND CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY

The Company aims to provide long-term shareholder and stakeholder value by actively managing risk and upholding the highest standards of governance and ethics. The Company approaches our relationships with all stakeholders with integrity and respect and takes care to select operators and suppliers that share its core values. While PrairieSky does not operate, develop or produce any hydrocarbons from its lands, PrairieSky recognizes its business model is dependent on the industry operating in a responsible fashion.

The Company's Environment, Climate Change, Health and Safety Policy was last updated in 2024 and reflects PrairieSky's intention to be environmentally and socially responsible in its business, including supporting and participating in various environmental initiatives, meeting compliance with environmental, climate change and occupational health and safety laws, providing regular, objective reporting on environmental, climate change and health and safety performance (through PrairieSky's annual Sustainability Report, discussed above), and through consultation and engagement with employees and stakeholders to share perspectives on environmental, health and safety issues. For a complete description of the Environment, Climate Change, Health and Safety Policy, please refer to our website at www.prairiesky.com/governance under Corporate Governance Policies and Related Documents .

A detailed description of PrairieSky's comprehensive environmental, social and governance (" ESG ") disclosures is included in our annual Sustainability Report which includes our Global Reporting Initiative (" GRI "), Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (" SASB ") and World Economic Forum (" WEF ") Reference Index, as well as our progress report on the principles set forth in the United Nations Global Compact. Our Sustainability Report can be found on our website at www.prairiesky.com/responsibility/our-approach and includes our Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (" TCFD ") and independent assurance statements verifying key environmental data, greenhouse gas emissions and other key performance indicators.

PrairieSky has been recognized as a top-rated company within our industry by Sustainalytics ESG Risk Ratings, being awarded the ESG Industry and Regional Top-Rated Badges awarded to top ranked companies among Global Oil and Gas Producers and in the U.S. and Canada, respectively. Company specific information and ratings by Sustainalytics Company, including information regarding PrairieSky, are available at www.sustainalytics.com. PrairieSky also achieved a "AAA" rating from MSCI ESG ratings, denoting companies leading the industry in managing the most significant ESG risks and opportunities. PrairieSky achieved a score of 66 out of 100 on the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment and has once again been included in the Sustainability Yearbook 2025 for corporate sustainability excellence. In addition, PrairieSky is now a constituent of the Dow Jones Best-in-Class World Index.

PrairieSky completed the 2024 CDP Corporate Questionnaire and was awarded a "B" rating in the 2024 climate change category and "B" in the 2024 water security category, an increase from "B-" in the prior year. A detailed and independent methodology is used by CDP, a recognized global leader in environmental reporting. A "B" rating indicates that the Company has addressed the environmental impacts of its business and ensures good environmental management. For further information, please refer to the CDP website.

In addition, PrairieSky has adopted numerous policies relating to its business conduct and corporate governance, including its Business Code of Conduct, Board Diversity Policy, Board Renewal Policy, Shareholder Engagement Policy, Investigations Practice Policy, Disclosure Policy, Securities Trading and Insider Reporting Policy, Restricted Securities Trading Policy, Human Rights Policy, Respectful Workplace Policy, Environment, Climate Change, Health and Safety Policy, Supplier Code of Conduct and a Community Investment Program.

LOBBYING AND INDUSTRY PARTICIPATION

The Business Code of Conduct sets out our approach to lobbying in circumstances where PrairieSky may have contact with elected officials and certain civil servants of the federal, provincial or municipal governments for the purposes of developing or amending laws, regulations, policies or guidelines, or to obtain a financial benefit, such as a grant or contribution. Where such contact occurs, the Business Code of Conduct requires that appropriate processes and controls be put in place to ensure that these contacts comply with applicable rules, regulations and internal requirements. The Company may, from time to time, participate in public policy discussions on a wide range of issues relevant to its business, including through its participation in and support of industry organizations. All PrairieSky lobbying activities with public office holders are planned, coordinated, recorded and must be conducted by senior management of the Company. In 2024, PrairieSky did not conduct any direct lobbying activities.

In no circumstances shall any employee, officer or director use or associate their position with the Company with any personal political activity or donation or in any circumstances in which any such association could be reasonably inferred.

PrairieSky is committed to disclosing expenditures made in connection with lobbying and/or political activities on an annual basis. In 2024, PrairieSky made no political contributions. PrairieSky incurred expenditures of $85,000 to participate in industry groups which provided industry updates and access to educational resources. The Company's past or future participation in any industry association does not signify comprehensive support for any positions undertaken by it.

RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company's enterprise risk management program (" ERM Program ") ensures that the key objectives and strategy for the success of PrairieSky are a focus for the Board and management and are being actively measured and managed. The risk management framework of the Company is a multi-faceted process involving management, the Audit Committee, the GC Committee and the Board, where the ERM Program provides a common risk management framework to identify, assess, monitor and mitigate key business risks.

The ERM Program provides a detailed identification, assessment and reporting of risks to PrairieSky's business, and a related risk analysis to address risk, which is monitored and overseen by the Board. Also included in the ERM Program are the roles of management and the Board relating to risk. The Board is responsible for strategic aspects and the enforcement of an appropriate risk culture throughout the organization, including through the GC Committee relating to compensation aspects and through the Audit Committee as it relates to financial matters and cyber risk. The Board is charged with the supervision of the risk analysis and senior management conducts a periodic (at least annual) detailed analysis of risks, recommends mitigation plans, where appropriate, and is responsible for the implementation and review of the effectiveness of such mitigation plans.

Detailed information with respect to the material risks applicable to PrairieSky, including principal risks and climate change risks, are included in the " Risk Factors " section of the AIF filed on our SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.com and available on PrairieSky's website at www.prairiesky.com.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY, ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, SYSTEMS SECURITY AND CYBER RISK

The Audit Committee, along with management, is responsible for the risk oversight of PrairieSky’s information technology, systems security and the Company’s overall IT strategy to address and mitigate cybersecurity threats. PrairieSky’s cybersecurity controls are evaluated through periodic engagement of independent third parties to assess risk, test controls and measure the progress and maturing of our program against industry benchmarks. PrairieSky’s program includes ongoing cybersecurity education and quarterly awareness training for all employees. PrairieSky has not experienced a cyber or information security breach in its history but recognizes that there is an ever-present threat. We continually work to improve our security posture and remain diligent. PrairieSky has a cyber-incident response plan and in 2024 held a table-top exercise with an external party to walk through a cyber incident response scenario. PrairieSky has cyber liability insurance in place and works together with insurers and third parties, such as external legal counsel, to update our policies and procedures. In addition, as artificial intelligence (AI) begins to have a transformative effect across our industry, the Board, along with management, has been assessing the benefits and risks of AI deployment in the workplace. The Board is responsible for

==> picture [540 x 15] intentionally omitted <==

26

==> picture [468 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

ensuring that a system is in place to identify the principal risks to the Company and that the best practical procedures are implemented to monitor, manage and mitigate such risks. This would include the need to adopt policies and procedures that would be applicable to PrairieSky’s use of AI systems to mitigate the identified risks. The assessment of AI adoption by the Company remains ongoing as of the date of this information circular and proxy statement.

SHAREHOLDER ENGAGEMENT

PrairieSky recognizes the importance of meaningful and consistent engagement with shareholders. The Company has adopted policies and programs that ensure we understand and, when appropriate, address shareholder concerns. The Company has a comprehensive program designed to engage with shareholders which we believe aligns with best practice policies for director and shareholder engagement on governance matters.

MATERIAL INTERESTS

The Company is engaged in the oil and natural gas royalty business. In general, the private investment activities of directors are not prohibited; however, should an existing investment pose a potential conflict of interest, the potential conflict is required to be disclosed to the CEO and CFO, who will in turn make necessary disclosures to the Board. Officers are required to provide the same information to the Corporate Secretary, who will in turn make necessary disclosures to the Board.

It is acknowledged that directors of the Company may be directors or officers of other entities engaged in the oil and natural gas business, and that such entities may compete directly or indirectly with the Company. Any director of the Company who is a director or officer of any entity engaged in the oil and natural gas business is required to disclose such occurrence to the Board. Any director or officer of the Company who is actively engaged in the management of, or who owns: (i) an investment

==> picture [540 x 15] intentionally omitted <==

28

==> picture [468 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

of 1% or more of the outstanding voting shares; or (ii) an investment that represents greater than 5% of his or her personal net worth, in public or private entities engaged in the oil and natural gas business, is required to disclose such holdings to the Board. In the event that any circumstance should arise as a result of such positions or investments being held or otherwise which in the opinion of the Board constitutes a conflict of interest which may reasonably affect such person's ability to act with a view to the best interests of the Company, the Board will take such actions as are reasonably required to resolve such matters with a view to the best interests of the Company. Such actions, without limitation, may include excluding such directors from certain information or activities of the Company.

ANTI-HEDGING POLICY AND OTHER RESTRICTIONS ON TRADING ACTIVITIES

The Company has adopted a Securities Trading and Insider Reporting Policy which, among other things, provides that executive officers and directors cannot participate in speculative activity related to the Company's securities to artificially protect themselves against declines in share price. The Securities Trading and Insider Reporting Policy provides that executive officers and directors are prohibited, at any time, from: (i) entering into a sale of the Company's securities that they do not own or have a right to own (a speculative practice, called "selling short", which is done in the belief that the price of a stock is going to fall and the seller will then be able to cover the sale by buying the stock back at a lower price); and (ii) selling a "call option" or buying a "put option" in respect of any of the Company's securities (as such persons could profit from the Company's share price falling). Executive officers and directors are also prohibited from participating in or entering into any equity monetization transactions involving any of the Company's securities that are part of the Company's long-term incentive programs which have not vested or the Common Shares that constitute part or all of the Company's requirements under the Company's minimum share ownership guidelines.

In addition to the Securities Trading and Insider Reporting Policy and given the unique nature of the Company's business, the Board has adopted the Restricted Securities Trading Policy to assist management and the Board in identifying potential conflicts of interest and ensuring adherence to good governance practices and applicable securities laws with respect to trading in securities of the Company and oil and natural gas companies in Western Canada, many of whom may be engaged in business with the Company from time to time. Pursuant to the Restricted Securities Trading Policy, the Company's legal department and Corporate Secretary of the Company maintain a restricted list of companies who are engaged in active business negotiations with the Company and for whom the Company may have material information from time to time (such as well results) which is not generally available to the public. All employees, contractors and consultants of the Company are required to contact the CFO prior to trading in any securities of an issuer who is engaged in the oil and natural gas or natural resources business in Western Canada (including the Company), to determine, prior to such trade, whether the issuer is on the restricted list. Directors and officers are required to consult with the CEO and notify the Corporate Secretary and Board Chair prior to trading in such securities. If the issuer is on the restricted list, such individuals shall not trade, directly or indirectly, securities of the issuer. Violations of the Restricted Securities Trading Policy may result in disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment or contract, as applicable. The Company may refer violations of the Restricted Securities Trading Policy or relevant laws to the appropriate regulatory authorities. Actions that violate or appear to violate the Restricted Securities Trading Policy must be reported in accordance with the Company's Investigations Practice Policy.

See also " Compensation Discussion and Analysis – Compensation Governance – Short Selling Restrictions ".

NOMINATION AND ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The GC Committee is responsible for recommending suitable candidates for nomination for election as directors of the Company in accordance with the terms of its mandate. The shareholders are entitled to elect directors of the Company.

The Board and GC Committee regularly discuss and evaluate the experience, qualification and skills of our directors with a view to ensuring the appropriate skill and experience profile is represented at the Board and committee level. See " Statement of Corporate Governance Practices – Director Skills and Experience ". Some of the key competencies that the Company believes directors should have are: corporate executive experience, oil and natural gas operational experience, oil and natural gas contracts and land experience, financial acumen and expertise, capital markets experience, sustainability experience or an appetite to learn and expand their skillset in this area and knowledge in the areas of compensation, governance and health, safety and environment. Character and behavioral qualities including credibility, integrity, professionalism and communication skills are also important attributes taken into account when recruiting new directors. In conjunction with this

==> picture [540 x 15] intentionally omitted <==

29

==> picture [468 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

exercise, the Board keeps an "evergreen" list of potential candidates for consideration as future Board members and regularly discusses the same. The Chair of the Board and CEO from time to time arrange meetings with such candidates to determine interest and availability with a view to making recommendations to the Board if and when appropriate. When necessary, the GC Committee may engage the services of a search firm to assist them in the identification of director candidates with the necessary skills or experience the Board requires.

MAJORITY VOTING POLICY

The Board has adopted the majority voting policy, which provides that if a nominee for election as a director receives a greater number of votes "withheld" than votes "for" at an uncontested meeting of the shareholders, such nominee shall offer his or her resignation as a director to the Board promptly following the meeting of shareholders at which the director was elected. Upon receiving such offer of resignation, the GC Committee will consider such offer and make a recommendation to the Board whether to accept the resignation or not. In the absence of special circumstances, it is expected that the Board will accept the resignation consistent with an orderly transition. The director will not participate in any GC Committee or Board deliberations on the resignation offer. It is anticipated that the Board will make its decision to accept or reject the resignation within 90 days.

ADVANCE NOTICE NOMINATIONS

The Company's by-laws include "advance notice provisions" designed to: (i) facilitate an orderly and efficient annual meeting of shareholders or, where the need arises, special meeting of shareholders, process; (ii) ensure that all shareholders receive adequate notice of director nominations and sufficient information with respect to all nominees; and (iii) allow shareholders to register an informed vote having been afforded reasonable time for appropriate deliberation. As a whole, these provisions are intended to provide shareholders, directors and management of the Company with a clear framework for nominating directors. In particular, these provisions of the by-laws fix a deadline (being not less than 30 days before the date of an annual meeting of shareholders and, in the case of a special meeting, the 15[th] day following the day on which the first public announcement of the date of the special meeting of shareholders was made) by which shareholders of record must submit director nominations to the Company prior to any annual or special meeting of shareholders, and also set forth the information that a shareholder must include in the notice to the Company for the notice to be in proper written form in order for any director nominee to be eligible for election at any annual or special meeting of shareholders. The Company's by-laws are available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.com and the Company's website at www.prairiesky.com and were confirmed by the Company's shareholders on April 11, 2014.

SUCCESSION PLANNING

The GC Committee is accountable for reviewing management's ongoing succession, leadership and talent strategy programs and plans. Management, on a regular basis, provides the Chair of the GC Committee and Board Chair with a detailed succession plan for each significant position and identifies possible succession gaps in the current staff. Further, the GC Committee, CEO and CFO conduct a detailed review of current employees who are potential successors for all senior positions, with a focus on senior management roles. The review includes an assessment of each individual's strengths and development requirements, an estimate as to when such individuals may be prepared to accept such a role change and any current plans for such individual's career and educational development. The potential for the Company to recruit an external candidate as CEO is also regularly discussed and is considered a viable option that does not require implementation at this stage. The succession and leadership plans are reviewed regularly with the Chair of the GC Committee. All meetings of the GC Committee and meetings of the Board in 2024 included in camera sessions, with and without the CEO, at which human resource issues and succession were periodically discussed. In the event of an emergency, the Board and GC Committee have temporary succession plans that can be implemented. The Company is confident that appropriate succession strategies are being implemented to ensure the Company's business will continue to be strongly managed in the future.

SHARE OWNERSHIP GUIDELINES

The Company has adopted share ownership guidelines to encourage alignment with the interests of shareholders by requiring its directors and management to build and hold equity in the Company in accordance with prescribed guidelines.

Independent directors are required to accumulate and hold, within three years of his or her appointment, Common Shares representing three times his or her annual total compensation, including any DSUs granted to such directors. Up to 75% of such target Common Share ownership can be represented by DSUs. Officers of the Company are required, within three years of their appointment, to accumulate a multiple of their annual salary in the form of Common Shares, as follows: CEO (five times); CFO and Vice-President, Business Development and Chief Commercial Officer of the Company (" CCO ") (four times) and Vice President, Geosciences and Capital Markets of the Company (two times). No share-based compensation (RSUs, as defined herein, PSUs and ODSUs) are counted towards achieving such targets.

The valuation of DSUs and Common Shares is determined on an annual basis as the greater of the fair market value at: (i) the date of grant or purchase, as the case may be; and (ii) the closing trading price of the Common Shares on the TSX on December 31 or last day on which the Common Shares traded on such exchange prior to December 31. The value of holdings reflected in each of the tables below is based on the December 31, 2024 closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX of $28.03.

OTHER OWNERSHIP GUIDELINES (STAFF)

The Company has also adopted share ownership guidelines for managers and certain other personnel to encourage alignment with the interests of shareholders. Certain non-executive personnel of the Company are required, within three years of their appointment, to accumulate a multiple of their annual salary in the form of Common Shares, as follows: Controller and General Counsel (1.5 times); Managers (1.0 times); and other select employees (1.0 times). No share-based compensation (RSUs or PSUs) are counted towards achieving such targets, and there are some restrictions on selling Common Shares, whether purchased through the Retirement Savings Plan (which is described below), in the open market, or received upon vesting or exercise of a RSU or PSU, as applicable, until such time as the target ownership is achieved. All full-time employees are shareholders of the Company.

BOARD AND COMMITTEE MEETINGS WITHOUT MANAGEMENT

The non-management directors meet without members of management present at every meeting of the Board and at every meeting of all committees of the Board. Each regularly scheduled Board and committee meeting's agenda includes an in camera session at each meeting. See " Statement of Corporate Governance Practices – The Board ".

ASSESSMENT OF DIRECTORS, THE BOARD AND BOARD COMMITTEES

The members of the Board collectively assess the performance of the Board as a whole, the committees of the Board and all directors. Such assessment occurs annually with an emphasis on the overall effectiveness and contributions made by the Board as a whole, the committees of the Board and all directors individually. Such assessment process involves a confidential director questionnaire and discussions among the Chair of the Board, the Chairs of the committees and individual directors relating to overall Board assessment, individual committee assessments, Chair of the Board assessment, individual committee chair assessments, individual director self-assessments and peer assessments. The Chair of the Board meets with each individual director to discuss the above matters and any key items raised in the confidential director questionnaire. The Chair of the Board, with the assistance of the CFO, is responsible for drafting, collecting and assessing questionnaires, and facilitating discussions. The Chair of the Board reports on the results of this process to the Board. The GC Committee is also permitted to retain external advisors to assist with the assessment process. The assessment for 2024 was conducted in the first quarter of 2025.

DIRECTOR SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

The Board and the GC Committee review the experience, qualifications and skills of our directors to ensure that the composition of the Board and committees and the competencies and skills of the members are in line with those that the GC Committee considers that the Board and respective committees should possess.

The Board identifies and evaluates the competencies and skills of the members based on the individual experience and background of each director. This exercise is performed both on an ad-hoc basis and at least annually based on selfassessment by each director whereby each director is asked to rate their experience and background in a variety of key subject areas. This data is compiled into a matrix representing the broad Board skills for current directors. This matrix is maintained to identify areas for strengthening the Board, if any, and address them through the recruitment of new members.

The following skills matrix outlines the experience and background of, but not necessarily the technical expertise of, the individual directors based on information provided by such individuals. The Board and the GC Committee are confident that the composition of the Board and the committees following the Meeting will reflect the competencies and skills that the Board and committees should possess.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

LETTER OF INTRODUCTION BOARD CHAIR AND GC COMMITTEE CHAIR

Dear Fellow Shareholders,

On behalf of the Board of Directors and the GC Committee, we are pleased to provide our Compensation Discussion and Analysis to you in the following pages of this information circular and proxy statement. Your feedback is important to us, as is your vote, and we hope that you attend the Meeting in person or by proxy.

We were pleased to receive 98.5% support on the Company’s annual say on pay advisory vote at the annual meeting of shareholders of the Company held on April 22, 2024. Over the past 5 years, our say on pay has received average support of 95.0%, which demonstrates shareholder support of our compensation approach. We are committed to transparency and comprehensive disclosure of our compensation practices. We are also committed to a disciplined approach to executive compensation and our underlying compensation philosophy of “pay for performance”.

GC Committee Key Initiatives

  • Succession planning and talent management are key priorities for the GC Committee. During 2024, the GC Committee reviewed the management succession plan, identifying key talent and succession candidates.

  • The GC Committee reviewed and updated all of the Company’s corporate governance policies in 2024, including updates to meet regulatory reporting under the Modern Slavery Act.

  • Annually, the GC Committee reviews total compensation components and how management is evaluated within our pay for performance philosophy.

  • The GC Committee and management designed updated short-term and long-term incentive corporate performance scorecards for 2025 with the goal of creating further clarity and focus on deliverables and guiding conversations amongst the Board, management and employees throughout the year.

2024 COMPENSATION

In making compensation decisions, the GC Committee process considers the following key principles: alignment with shareholders, pay for performance, market competitive pay to attract and retain talent, good governance and risk management.

Annually, executive pay and incentive levels are benchmarked against the approved executive compensation peer group. This approach is�aligned�with�market�compensation�practices�and�ensures�we�offer�competitive�pay�packages�for�executives�that�both�incentivize�and� retain our executives and are aligned with our pay for performance compensation philosophy.

Compensation Peer Group: For 2024, the GC Committee reviewed the compensation peer group and determined to remove the real estate investment trusts (REITs) and add certain oil and gas and royalty companies which the GC Committee deemed to be more closely impacted by the same macro-economic factors and competition for capital as PrairieSky. The GC Committee consulted with its compensation advisor, Hugessen Consulting Inc. (“ Hugessen ”), on changes to provide a market lens.

2024 COMPENSATION DECISIONS

Base Salary: �For�2024,�the�CEO’s�salary�remained�flat�with�2023.�The�CFO�received�a�salary�increase�of�3.7%�to�reflect�the�increase�in�her� responsibility.�The�CCO�joined�the�Company�in�October�2023�and�his�salary�remained�flat�into�2024.�The�Vice�President,�Geosciences�and� Capital Markets joined PrairieSky in 2024. In setting executive salaries, the Committee reviewed market comparatives in consultation with Hugessen.

Short-Term Incentive Plan (STIP): PrairieSky’s corporate performance for 2024 was evaluated by the GC Committee based on certain corporate�objectives.�For�2024,�the�Board�approved�a�STIP�score�of�1.75�out�of�a�possible�2.0�which�reflected�outperformance�by�the� Company and management.

Long-Term Incentives: For 2024, the Board approved target grants for NEOs allocated 75% to PSUs and 25% to ODSUs. Target grants were set to align with the market and to provide compensation aligned with corporate results and shareholders. The PSU multiplier is determined based 50% on relative total shareholder return (“ rTSR ”) and 50% on the execution of the strategy and business plan.

VESTING OF 2022 PSU GRANT (THREE-YEAR PERFORMANCE PERIOD JANUARY 1, 2022 - DECEMBER 31, 2024)

The CEO and CFO’s 2022 grant of PSUs vested on January 15, 2025. A performance multiplier of 1.8167x was applied to the vesting. The performance multiplier was based 50% on rTSR performance over the three-year period from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2024 and 50% on the execution of the strategy and business plan. The Company achieved a TSR of 124% and top decile rTSR performance against its performance peer group over the three-year period and achieved an evaluation of “outperform” on execution of the strategy and business plan objectives, all of which are discussed below.

==> picture [82 x 93] intentionally omitted <==

COMPENSATION CHANGES FOR 2025

For 2025, the GC Committee has made certain changes to executive compensation as follows:

Short-term incentives for NEOs other than the CEO will include an allocation of 25% based on personal performance and 75% on corporate performance. Personal performance will be evaluated based on objectives set with the CEO at the beginning of the year. Mr. Phillips performance will continue to be evaluated 100% based on corporate performance.

Long-term incentive grants will be allocated 65% to PSUs and 35% to ODSUs. The GC Committee, Board and management are committed to aligning compensation with PrairieSky’s long-term results and strategy. The GC Committee believes the incremental allocation to ODSUs, which do not become payable until the executive leaves the Company, is aligned with this philosophy.

On behalf of our full Board, we encourage you to take some time to read this compensation discussion and analysis and invite you to vote on our approach to executive compensation at this year’s annual meeting of shareholders. As always, we welcome your feedback, comments and questions at [email protected].

We�hope�you�find�the�above�information�useful�and�look�forward�to�engaging�with�you�at�the�Meeting�and�throughout�the�upcoming�year.�

COMPENSATION GOVERNANCE

COMPOSITION AND ROLE OF THE GC COMMITTEE

The GC Committee is responsible for, among other things, overseeing compensation across the organization with a particular focus on the executive officers of the Company which for 2024 included the CEO, CFO, CCO, and Vice President, Geosciences and Capital Markets. This important function includes assessing salaries, annual short-term incentive awards (bonus), longterm incentive awards, and measuring performance. The GC Committee is currently comprised of P. Jane Gavan (Chair), Anuroop S. Duggal, Glenn A. McNamara and Sheldon B. Steeves.

COMPENSATION GOVERNANCE PRACTICES

COMPENSATION GOVERNANCE PRACTICES
What We Do X What We Don’t Do
Pay for Performance
• Design a compensation package that rewards performance based on the
achievement of performance goals and objectives and to be competitive with
comparable companies in the market in which the Company competes for
talent.
• Executive compensation is mostly variable and not guaranteed.
• Executive compensation is aligned with both individual and Company
performance over the short-, medium- and long-term.
• A significant portion of executive compensation is long-term and linked to
individual and Company performance at the time of grant and vesting.
• Payouts will be reduced (including down to 0) when performance is
significantly below expectations.
Strong and Efective Compensation Governance
• Our Board has discretion to adjust incentive awards and payouts based on
performance and risk appetite.
• We cap payouts from our incentive plans.
• We have a qualified, experienced and independent GC Committee that uses an
independent advisor.
• Shareholders have a "say on pay" and we engage in discussion with
stakeholders.
Clawback
• We may claw back or require forfeiture of awards in situations of fraud,
misconduct, inappropriate risk-taking or material misstatement of our financial
results (see Clawback Policy – Recoupment of Incentive Compensation below).
Double-Trigger Change of Control Provisions
• We have double-trigger change-of-control provisions in our equity plans,
requiring both a change of control and termination before equity vesting or
other benefits apply.
Stock Ownership Guidelines
• All NEOs and directors are subject to share ownership guidelines with
conditional holding requirements.
Environmental, Social and Governance
• We include ESG metrics as part of performance metrics in our annual incentive
plan and long-term incentive plan.
• Other ESG-related objectives form part of the strategic deliverables of our CEO
and other NEOs and are considered when individual compensation decisions
are made.
X No Hedging nor Assignment
• Executives are not permitted to use hedging to undermine the
risk alignment in our compensation plans.
• Executives are not allowed to assign, pledge, or transfer their
equity-based awards.
X No Guarantees
• We do not have employment agreements with multi-year
guarantees.
• We do not guarantee a minimum level of vesting in our
Incentive Plans (as defined herein).
X No Repricing, Back-dating or Cancellation of Options
• PrairieSky suspended the grant of Options (as defined herein) in
2021. Shareholders would be required to approve unallocated
Options under the Option Plan (as defined herein) prior to any
grants being made under the plan.
X No Tax Gross-Ups
• We do not provide gross-ups on benefits or perquisites.

SHORT SELLING RESTRICTIONS

The Company's directors and officers are prohibited from knowingly selling, directly or indirectly, any of the Company's securities if such person selling such security does not own or has not fully paid for the security to be sold. Directors and officers are also not permitted to buy or sell a call or put in respect of any of the Company's securities. Notwithstanding these prohibitions, directors and officers may sell a Common Share which they do not own if they own another security convertible into Common Shares or an option or right to acquire Common Shares sold and, within 10 days after the sale, the director or officer: (i) exercises the conversion privilege, option or right and delivers the Common Share so associated to the purchaser;

==> picture [540 x 15] intentionally omitted <==

39

==> picture [468 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

or (ii) transfers the convertible security, option or right, if transferable to the purchaser. See also " Statement of Corporate Governance Practices – Anti-Hedging Policy and Other Restrictions on Trading Activities ".

CLAWBACK POLICY (RECOUPMENT OF INCENTIVE COMPENSATION)

The Company has adopted a policy regarding recoupment of any incentive payment (including cash payments, ODSUs granted under the ODSU Plan, Options granted under the Option Plan or share unit awards granted under the amended and restated share unit incentive plan (the " Original Incentive Plan ") and the 2021 share unit incentive plan (the " 2021 Incentive Plan ") and the Common Shares issuable on exercise or vesting thereof, as the case may be), to an executive officer where:

  • the payment or grant was predicated upon achieving certain financial results that were subsequently the cause of a substantial restatement of the Company's financial statements;

  • the Board determines the executive officer engaged in gross negligence, intentional misconduct or fraud that caused or substantially caused the need for substantial restatement of the Company's financial statements; and

  • a lower incentive compensation payment or grant would have been made to the executive officer based upon the restated financial results.

In such circumstances, the Company will seek to recover from such executive officer, in the case of cash incentive payments, the amount by which that executive officer's incentive payments for the relevant period exceeded the lower payment that would have been made based on the restated financial results and in the case of equity incentive awards, the number of equity incentive awards by which the executive officer's grant for the relevant period exceeded the lower number of equity incentive awards that would have been granted based on the restated financial results. In addition, if an executive officer commits fraud, theft, embezzlement or serious misconduct, whether or not there is a substantial restatement of the Company's financial statements, the Board can, at its discretion, cancel some or all of the executive officer's vested or unvested incentive awards, and require repayment of all or a portion of the incentive awards that have already been paid.

COMPENSATION PHILOSPHY

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY AND GUIDING PRINCIPLES

The Board recognizes that the Company's success depends greatly on its ability to attract, retain and motivate employees at all levels, which can only occur if the Company has an appropriately structured and executed compensation program. The Company's compensation policies are founded on the principle that executive and employee compensation should be consistent with shareholders' interests and the Company's incentive programs are therefore intended to encourage decisions and actions that will result in the creation of long-term shareholder value, while specifically not rewarding excessive risktaking by management or employees.

PAY FOR PERFORMANCE PHILOSOPHY

The foundation of PrairieSky's compensation program is "pay for performance", which rewards the executive for leadership and creation of long-term value for shareholders. The executive officers are fully aligned with shareholders through the compensation program, as well as their significant personal investments in Common Shares.

The principal objectives of the Company's executive compensation program are as follows:

  • To align management's interests with those of the shareholders;

  • To reward both leadership and performance that creates long-term shareholder value;

  • To attract and retain qualified management; and

  • To have a compensation package that is competitive within the marketplace.

Through the GC Committee, the Board reviews the executive compensation program regularly as part of our commitment to continuous improvement and refines it as appropriate to align more closely with our strategic objectives, building shareholder value, mitigating risk, and improving competitiveness.

In determining the compensation to be paid to management, the GC Committee considers various items including corporate achievements, comparative market data and information supplied by management or external consultants with expertise on such matters.

The majority of executive compensation at PrairieSky is performance based and "at risk". Compensation considered "at risk" includes cash short-term incentives (bonuses), RSUs, PSUs and ODSUs. Approximately 85% of the CEO's compensation and on average 72% of other NEO's compensation is "at risk".

BENCHMARKING EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

To benchmark the magnitude and mix of management's compensation arrangements, in forming the compensation market for the Company (the " Compensation Market "), the Board has considered the size, scope, stage of development and risk profile of the Company against a peer group of companies using the following parameters:

  • companies in the oil and natural gas and mining industries with a royalty or dividend-focused business model;

  • comparable market capitalization to the Company; and

  • companies with producing properties and significant undeveloped acreage in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin.

Based on these parameters, the following is the peer group of companies used in determining the Compensation Market for 2024:

2024 Executive Compensation Performance Peer Group 2024 Executive Compensation Performance Peer Group
ARC Resources Ltd. Royal Gold,Inc. Veren Inc.
Franco-Nevada Corporation Texas Pacific Land Corporation Vermilion EnergyInc.

STIP (ANNUAL BONUS)

The STIP or annual bonus is meant to compensate the executive officer for achieving and surpassing annual corporate performance goals. The GC Committee maintains discretion to adjust amounts based on additional factors, including share price performance and economic or industry conditions. During years when the executive officer has significantly outperformed, bonuses have been tempered due to challenging conditions in the oil and natural gas industry. In other years, the executive officers have been rewarded generously, consistent with the Company's pay for performance philosophy.

Annual bonuses are paid in cash and determined using the following formula:

OFFICER DEFERRED SHARE UNITS

The Company adopted the Officer Deferred Share Unit (" ODSU ") Plan effective November 29, 2019. Pursuant to the ODSU Plan, the Board may grant ODSUs to officers and employees from time to time and the GC Committee may determine the vesting schedule of the ODSUs (if any). The purpose of the ODSU Plan is to assist the Company in attracting and retaining individuals with experience and ability to act as officers and employees of the Company and to promote a proprietary interest in the Company and a greater alignment of interests between officers and the shareholders. Since inception of the ODSU Plan, the Board has only awarded ODSUs to officers of the Company. See " Incentive Award Programs – Officer Deferred Share Unit Plan (ODSU Plan) ".

PERFORMANCE SHARE UNITS

The 2021 Incentive Plan provides for grants of PSUs to officers and employees of the Company to align the interests of executives with the interests of shareholders by making a significant portion of an executive’s long-term incentive compensation dependent on performance against the Company’s long-term financial performance and strategic goals and on the fair market value of the Common Shares. Since inception of the Company, the Board has only awarded PSUs to officers and select senior employees of the Company.

The PSU multiplier is measured based on a 50% weighting to rTSR against a peer group over a three-year period and a 50% weighting on performance against the Company's Strategy and Business Plan Performance Scorecard over the same period.

Management’s execution of the Strategy and Business Plan is measured by the GC Committee annually, with the three-year cumulative total being utilized to calculate the contribution towards the performance payout multiplier at vesting.

See " Incentive Award Programs – Incentive Plans ".

Relative Total Shareholder Return ( " rTSR " )

Company performance is evaluated against its three-year rTSR, which provides an objective assessment of market performance over a longer period of time. rTSR is measured against a group of performance peers and represents 50% of the overall performance payout multiplier for PSUs.

==> picture [540 x 15] intentionally omitted <==

47

==> picture [468 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

Performance is measured on a linear basis, by reference to the following table:

Minimum Target Maximum
Relative TSR Positioning <25thPercentile 50thPercentile 75thPercentile
Relative TSR Multiplier 0.0x 1.0x 2.0x

Maximum full credit for top quartile performance would be 2.0x (weighted 50% to overall score), declining on a linear basis to the bottom quartile which would be zero (0.0x), which is consistent with how the rTSR has been applied in prior years. The actual result is measured at the end of the performance period. For the 2024 PSU grants, the performance period is from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026.

For the 2022 PSU grants, the three-year performance period was from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2024. Based on the rTSR over the performance period, a score of 1.0x (2.0x score given top quartile performance weighted at 50%) was achieved. Results are discussed further below.

Performance Peer Group

The following table outlines the companies selected to be part of PrairieSky’s 2022, 2023 and 2024 performance peer groups. Annually, the GC Committee reviews the composition of the Company’s performance peer group which is used to determine the rTSR portion of the performance payout multiplier for PSUs. In determining the 2024 performance peer group, the GC Committee removed REITs and added incremental oil and gas and royalty companies as the GC Committee believes these companies are more closing impacted by the same macro-economic factors and more closely compete for capital with PrairieSky.

Strategy And Business Plan

Execution of the Strategy and Business Plan is calculated at end of each year and a cumulative three-year score for the performance period is applied. The Strategy and Business Plan maximum possible score is 1.0x maximum (scale of 0.0-2.0x and weighted 50%), with each of the applicable three year's scores contributing 0.3333 points. Performance on each category of the Strategy and Business Plan is weighted on the scale below, with anything below 25% given nil (0) credit.

CEO COMPENSATION

The compensation of the CEO is reviewed annually and determined by the Board. The level of CEO compensation is determined considering all factors which the Board deems appropriate, including Chief Executive Officer salaries for companies of comparable size, industry, geography and complexity. The grant of incentive awards is determined by the Board, upon recommendation of the GC Committee, based on considerations such as the Company's overall performance, relative shareholder returns and/or other relevant factors.

TOTAL SHAREHOLDER RETURN AND CEO COMPENSATION

PrairieSky’s compensation is structured to provide alignment with the long-term interests of shareholders. The following table compares the CEO’s total awarded direct compensation (target compensation) over time and the alignment with actual total direct compensation. The table includes:

  • The value of total awarded direct compensation (target compensation) which includes base salary, actual shortterm incentive (annual bonus) and long-term incentives (PSUs, ODSUs, Options) at grant date value; and

  • The value of actual total direct compensation valued at December 31, 2024 which includes base salary, actual shortterm incentive (annual bonus), vested PSUs that have paid out and exercised Options. Also included is realizable compensation which includes all unvested PSUs as well as all vested and unvested ODSUs.

The table below compares:

  • The CEO’s grant date value of total awarded direct compensation (target compensation) relative to the actual total direct compensation value received from his compensation commencing 2020; and

  • The value of $100 of total awarded direct compensation in relation to the value of $100 invested in Common Shares at the beginning of the periods indicated.

Notes:

(1) Total awarded direct compensation includes base salary, actual annual short-term incentive paid, LTIP value at the time of grant (PSUs, Options, ODSUs).

(2) Actual total direct compensation Includes base salary, actual annual short-term incentive paid, value of vested PSUs, value of exercised Options and the fair market value of unvested PSUs and vested and unvested ODSUs, including dividend equivalents. PSUs are paid out upon vesting, following the three-year performance period. ODSUs are not paid out until the NEO leaves the Company, subject to the terms of the ODSU Plan.

(4) Includes 2022 PSU grant which vested and was paid on January 15, 2025. A performance payout multiplier of 1.8167x, as described above, was applied to the 2022 PSU grant. The value of the 2022 PSUs was determined using the five-day weighted average trading price ending on January 14, 2025 of the Common Shares of $28.07 and included reinvested cash dividends made on the underlying Common Shares for the period from the date of grant to the vesting date.

(5) The value of unvested 2023 and 2024 PSU grants is based on the December 31, 2024 closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX of $28.03 and includes dividend equivalents. A payout multiplier of 1.0x has been assumed for the 2023 and 2024 PSU grants. If a performance payout multiplier at the maximum 2.0x were applied, such PSUs would be worth an incremental $3.2 million in respect of 2023 compensation and an incremental $2.8 million in respect of 2024 compensation, assuming a price of $28.03 per Common Share as at December 31, 2024. The actual performance payout multiplier will be determined at the end of each performance period.

The chart below outlines the CEO’s actual total direct compensation value as of December 31, 2024 and the total shareholder return between December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2024, including dividends.

The CEO’s compensation has aligned with shareholder returns as shown in the table and chart above. ODSUs will remain outstanding until the CEO leaves the Company providing alignment with shareholders.

CEO OWNERSHIP AND VALUE AT RISK

The table below outlines Mr. Phillips’ total vested and unvested PrairieSky equity as at December 31, 2024. His Common Share ownership based on market value is $27.0 million or 45x times his salary and his total ownership and value at risk is $48.2 million. Mr. Phillips’ Common Share ownership and vested ODSUs, which are not paid out until he leaves the Company, represent 1.81x the number of outstanding and unvested PSUs and ODSUs demonstrating shareholder alignment.

Notes:

(1) PSUs include the 2022, 2023 and 2024 grants, all of which were unvested at December 31, 2024. The 2022 PSU grant in the table above represents the number of PSUs vested and paid on January 15, 2025 at a performance payout multiplier of 1.8167x, as described above. The 2022 PSUs were valued using the fiveday weighted average trading price ending on January 14, 2025 of the Common Shares on the TSX of $28.07 and include reinvested cash dividends to the vesting date on January 15, 2025. A payout multiplier of 1.0x has been assumed for the 2023 and 2024 PSU grants. If a payout multiplier at the maximum 2.0x is applied, such PSUs would be worth an incremental $3.2 million in respect of 2023 compensation and an incremental $2.8 million in respect of 2024 compensation assuming the closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX on December 31, 2024 of $28.03. The actual performance payout multiplier will be determined at the end of each performance period. PSUs for 2023 and 2024 include dividend equivalents.

(2) ODSUs are not paid out until the NEO leaves the Company, subject to the terms of the ODSU Plan. The value of ODSUs is based on the December 31, 2024 closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX of $28.03 and includes dividend equivalents.

  • (3) Common Share value is based on the December 31, 2024 closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX of $28.03.

PERFORMANCE GRAPH

The graph below compares the performance of the Company since December 31, 2019 (with all dividends reinvested) to the S&P/TSX Composite Index, the S&P/TSX Capped Energy Index, and the average return for each of the peer groups (peer group 2024 and peer group 2022-2023), each starting with an investment of $100 on December 31, 2019. See " Compensation Discussion and Analysis – Executive Compensation – Compensation Philosophy – Benchmarking Executive Compensation " for more information on our peer group.

PrairieSky's focus is on long-term shareholder value and providing returns to shareholders in an industry subject to commodity price cycles. From December 31, 2019 to December 31, 2021, the Company's return was below the S&P/TSX Composite Index. The Company’s return exceeded the S&P Composite Index in 2022 to December 31, 2024. Over the five-year period from December 31, 2019, the Company’s return has been in-line with S&P/TSX Capped Energy Index. As compared to the Company’s 2022-2023 peer group, the Company’s performance trailed the peer group and then surpassed the peer group in 2023 and 2024. In 2024, the peer group was updated to remove real estate investment trusts and add royalty and oil and natural gas companies. Based on returns since 2019, the 2024 peer group has outpaced PrairieSky’s return and is expected to be more aligned with the challenges of the industry and the macro-economic environment. At points during this five-year period, granted NEO compensation was adjusted downward to reflect these challenges and the impact on PrairieSky's share price. Realized compensation has aligned with share price performance over the period which is consistent with our pay for performance philosophy.

In 2024, the Company's total shareholder return was 25%, which was above the S&P/TSX Composite Index, the S&P/TSX Capped Energy Index and the 2022-2023 peer group average. In 2024, the GC Committee undertook a review of PrairieSky’s peer group as previously discussed. For 2024, PrairieSky’s return was 1% below the new peer group average. Total direct compensation for our NEOs is aligned with shareholders as a substantial majority of total direct compensation is linked to PrairieSky's share price and overall performance. The following table illustrates total shareholder returns for 2024.

2024
PrairieSky Royalty Ltd. 25%
S&P/TSX Composite Index 22%
S&P/TSX Capped Energy Index 15%
2022-2023 Peer Group Average 17%

Notes:

(1) No Options have been granted since 2020 and all previously granted Options have been exercised or have expired. The GC Committee and the Board do not expect to grant any further Options under the Option Plan.

(2) The number of share-based awards includes dividend equivalents.

(3) Represents the market value of the RSUs, PSUs and ODSUs calculated based on the December 31, 2024 closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX of $28.03. An assumed multiplier of 1.0x has been applied to the PSUs. If the maximum multiplier of 2.0x is applied to the PSUs, the market value of the PSUs not paid out or distributed would be $21,822,100 for Mr. Phillips; $7,681,600 for Ms. Kazeil; $1,988,900 for Mr. Bertram; and $373,700 for Mr. Murphy.

(4) All RSUs and PSUs are paid out upon vesting. ODSUs are not paid out until the NEO leaves the Company, subject to the terms of the ODSU Plan.

Notes:

(1) The value of the RSUs and PSUs that vested in 2024 was calculated based on the weighted average trading price of the Common Shares for the five trading days ending immediately prior to the vesting date multiplied by the number of PSUs on such date, adjusted to reflect reinvested cash dividends made on the underlying Common Shares for the period from the date of grant to the vesting date. The 2021 Incentive Plan is not considered a security-based compensation arrangement under the applicable rules of the TSX as share unit awards granted thereunder may only be settled in cash in accordance with the 2021 Incentive Plan.

(2) ODSUs typically vest evenly over a three-year period but are not paid out until after the NEO leaves the Company, subject to the terms of the ODSU Plan. The ODSU value is based on the December 31, 2024 closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX of $28.03 and includes reinvested cash dividends made on the underlying Common Shares from the date of grant to December 31, 2024.

(3) No Options are outstanding. No Options have been granted since 2020 and the GC Committee and the Board do not expect to grant any further Options under the Option Plan.

(4) 2024 bonus reflects amounts earned in the 2024 fiscal year.

TERMINATION AND CHANGE OF CONTROL BENEFITS

The Company has entered into Amended Executive Employment Agreements with the CEO and CFO and Executive Employment Agreements with the CCO and Vice-President, Geosciences and Capital Markets. The terms of such employment agreements are in accordance with current market standards for agreements of a similar nature and include provisions that provide for payment of severance in certain circumstances, which include the aggregate of: (i) the executive officer's annual base salary, plus (ii) the average annual bonus awarded to the executive officer over the prior three years, plus (iii) 25% of base salary for the loss of benefits. The severance payment will be calculated based on a notice period multiplier of two for the CEO, one and a half for the CFO and one for the CCO and Vice-President, Geosciences and Capital Markets (the " Termination Payment "). For purposes of the executive employment agreements, termination may be by the Company (other than for cause) or at the election of the Named Executive Officer (within a six-month period following a change of control) for any one or more of the following reasons which constitute "good reason": (i) the failure of the Company to agree to perform any material terms of the executive employment agreement; (ii) the Company requiring the executive officer, without the executive officer's consent, to be based or perform his or her employment duties elsewhere than the Company's principal offices in Calgary, Alberta, except for required travel or temporary projects in connection with the Company's business; or (iii) the Company failing to provide or failing to agree to provide the executive officer with the same or a materially similar or comparable position, responsibilities, duties, compensation and benefits, as described herein, as previously provided to the executive officer by the Company.

The Company is entitled to terminate the executive employment agreements at any time for just cause and is then obligated to pay such executive officer's salary (and accrued unused vacation) through to the termination date. The Company is also entitled to terminate the executive employment agreements at any time for any reason other than just cause and is then obligated to pay to the executive officer the Termination Payment.

The Board has also adopted a Retirement Policy that applies to employees and executive officers of the Company. The Amended Executive Employment Agreements, Executive Employment Agreements, the 2021 Incentive Plan, the ODSU Plan and the grant agreements in respect of awards thereunder each refer to "Retirement" or the retirement of such person from employment with the Company in accordance with the normal retirement policy of the Company. Such references are to the Retirement Policy, as amended from time to time.

An employee or executive officer of the Company shall be considered eligible for "Retirement" from employment with the Company (including, for greater certainty, any subsidiary of the Company) if they meet both the following criteria: (a) reaching an age of 55; and (b) having no less than 10 years of continuous service as an employee or officer of the Company. For the purposes of determining no less than 10 years of continuous service as an employee or officer of the Company under the Retirement Policy, certain exceptions apply including but not limited to certain events which are deemed to lead to a cessation of continuous service as an employee.

The following chart illustrates the payments that each of the CEO, CFO, CCO and Vice-President, Geosciences & Capital Markets would receive, in certain circumstances, in the event of their termination as at December 31, 2024. In all events below, subject to contractual agreements, the Board maintains ultimate discretion on all payouts.

Notes:

(1) All RSUs, PSUs and ODSUs are valued using the December 31, 2024 closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX of $28.03, and include dividend equivalents to December 31, 2024.

(2) PSUs have been valued using a payout multiplier of 1.0x.

(3) Assumes replacement securities underlying the RSUs, PSUs and ODSUs are not available. See "Incentive Award Programs" below.

(4) An officer or employee of the Company is eligible for "Retirement" if they achieve both the following criteria: (a) reach an age of 55; and (b) have no less than 10 years of continuous service as an employee or officer of the Company. Based on the foregoing criteria, the NEOs would not be eligible for retirement until the following dates: Mr. Phillips – April 2032; Ms. Kazeil – June 2025; Mr. Bertram – January 2042 and Mr. Murphy – May 2035.

RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN

The Company has adopted a plan to provide all employees of the Company, including the Named Executive Officers, the opportunity to save for retirement that is comparable to the Company's peers. This plan consists of a group registered savings plan, a group non-registered savings plan and a tax-free savings account plan in which the Company matches a percentage of

==> picture [540 x 15] intentionally omitted <==

59

==> picture [468 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

a participant's contributions. In June 2022, the GC Committee along with the Board of Directors approved changes to the retirement savings plan for employees, excluding the executive officers, to respond to rising inflation and for retention purposes. Effective July 1, 2022, the plan was adjusted to match employee contributions, excluding executive officers, from 1:1 up to a maximum of 12% of base salary to a new matching ratio of 1:1.67 up to a maximum of 9%, meaning that for a maximum contribution of 9% of base salary, the Company will make a matching contribution equal to 15% of base salary. The plan requires that the Company's matching savings plan contributions be used by the external custodian and manager of the plan to purchase Common Shares through the facilities of the TSX. The retirement savings plan was amended in 2023 to allow employee contributions to be invested in Common Shares or other investments to provide employees with more flexibility to manage their financial portfolios. All executive officers contribute 100% of their savings plan contributions to purchase Common Shares. No Common Shares are issued from treasury as part of the retirement savings plan. Effective January 1, 2023, the executive officers have moved to the new matching ratio available to employees in the last half of 2022.

The retirement savings plan is considered an automatic securities purchase plan and contains certain restrictions with respect to changing contribution levels, changing investment directions and also withdrawal of investments in the plan. Changes to investment levels and directions can only be made twice per year, with the written approval of the Senior Vice-President, Finance and CFO and only become effective 60 days after the approval is granted. No changes may be made during a blackout period imposed by the Company.

The portion of retirement savings plan contributions made by the Company is escrowed and restricted for a two-year period, meaning that the employee cannot sell or withdraw any portion of such funds during such escrow without approval of the Company, which is only granted in exceptional circumstances. The portion of savings plan contributions made by an employee are escrowed for a one-year period. In accordance with Company policies, no transactions involving Common Shares may be made by a savings plan participant without prior approval, other than automatic and ordinary course purchases of Common Shares under the savings plan made by the external custodian and manager of the plan. The savings plan does not have an automatic-disposition feature.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

COMPONENTS OF COMPENSATION

Director compensation consists of a flat annual retainer, rather than individual meeting fees. 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 independent directors in 2024 is shown in the table below. There has been no change in director compensation since 2018.

Board Position Annual Cash Retainer(1) Annual Equity Retainer(1) Total Retainer(1)
Board Chair $150,000 $150,000 $300,000
Independent Directors $60,000 $100,000 $160,000
Committee Chair Retainers
Audit Committee Chair $15,000 - $15,000
GC Committee Chair $10,000 - $10,000
Reserve Committee Chair $10,000 - $10,000

Note:

(1) Retainers are prorated for any partial year.

Directors receive no other compensation from PrairieSky 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 2024 beyond amounts set out above.

The only equity-based awards received by directors of PrairieSky are DSUs granted under our deferred share unit plan, described below.

==> picture [468 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

THE DSU PLAN

The Company has adopted a deferred share unit plan (the " DSU Plan ") for its directors. Prior to the start of each year, the Company's directors are able to elect to take all or a portion of their annual retainer and any additional compensation in the form of DSUs. DSUs will vest once they are credited to the director's DSU account and may only be redeemed after the director ceases to be a director of the Company.

Newly appointed or elected directors receive their initial grant of DSUs upon or after joining the Board, if the Company is under a trading blackout at such time. In cases where trading blackouts exist, the annual DSU grant (or initial DSU grant for newly appointed or elected directors) is postponed until after the trading blackout is lifted. When a dividend is paid on Common Shares, if any, each director's DSU account will be allocated additional DSUs equal in value to the dividend paid on an equivalent number of Common Shares. When a director ceases to be a director of the Company, by December 15 of the first calendar year following the year that the directorship ceased, a director will be entitled to request redemption of the DSUs following which the value of the redeemed DSUs will be paid to the director in cash on an after-tax basis. The value of the DSUs on any particular date will be calculated by multiplying the number of DSUs in the director's DSU account by the then market value of a Common Share.

The following table sets forth information concerning the annualized compensation paid to the directors during 2024. Mr. Phillips, the CEO, is not included in the following table as he did not receive any compensation (including any annual retainer or grant of DSUs) for serving as a director of the Company.

DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS INSURANCE AND INDEMNIFICATION

The Company maintains liability insurance for its directors and officers with coverage and terms that are customary for a company of its size in the industry in which it operates. The policies provide coverage to the Company's directors and officers for any actual or alleged breach of duty, neglect, error, misstatement, misleading statement, omission, or act in discharging their duties, individually or collectively. The Company is also insured under the policies in the event it is permitted or required by law to indemnify individual directors and officers. The policies which provide coverage in the amount of $60 million for the 12-month period ended May 29, 2025, are subject to certain exclusions. The deductible amount on the policies is $500,000 and the total annual premium for the 2024/2025 policies is $212,000.

In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and officers. The indemnification agreements generally require that the Company indemnify and hold the indemnitees harmless to the greatest extent permitted by law for liabilities arising out of the indemnitees' service to the Company as directors and officers, if the indemnitees acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company and, with respect to criminal or administrative actions or proceedings that are enforced by monetary penalty, if the indemnitee had no reasonable grounds to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The indemnification agreements also provide for the advancement of defence expenses to the indemnitees by the Company.

INCENTIVE AWARD PROGRAMS

INCENTIVE PLANS

The Original Incentive Plan was adopted in 2014 and provided for the grant of restricted share units ("RSUs") and performance share units ("PSUs" and together with RSUs, the "share unit awards") to employees, including management. Directors were not eligible to participate in the Original Incentive Plan.

The Original Incentive Plan allowed the Company to settle share unit awards with Common Shares, subject to certain exceptions. As at December 31, 2024, nil Common Shares were issuable pursuant to outstanding share unit awards under the Original Incentive Plan as all PSUs and RSUs issued under the Original Incentive Plan have either vested or were forfeited. See " Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans ".

In January 2021, the Company adopted the 2021 Incentive Plan and replaced the Original Incentive Plan for future grants of share unit awards. Any share unit awards granted prior to 2021 were granted under the Original Incentive Plan while all share unit awards granted thereafter were granted pursuant to the 2021 Incentive Plan. The 2021 Incentive Plan only allows for settlement of vested share unit awards in cash (as opposed to Common Shares) and therefore is not considered a "securitybased compensation arrangement" or an "equity compensation plan". Directors are not eligible to participate in the 2021 Incentive Plan.

The Original Incentive Plan and 2021 Incentive Plan are collectively referred to as the "Incentive Plans". Copies of the Incentive Plans are available under the Company’s SEDAR+ provide at www.sedarplus.com and on the Company’s website at www.prairiesky.com/governance.

The purpose of the 2021 Incentive Plan is to align the interests of the employees with those of shareholders and to assist the Company in attracting and retaining the talent it requires. The Board has delegated its authority to administer the Incentive Plans to the GC Committee (comprised of independent directors), which has authority to interpret the 2021 Incentive Plan, including any questions in respect of any share unit awards granted thereunder. The Board has the authority to amend or terminate the 2021 Incentive Plan at any time, in whole or in part, subject to certain exceptions. The share unit awards granted thereunder are not assignable.

Share unit awards initially have a notional value equivalent to the value of a Common Share. RSUs vest and are paid out no more than three years from the date of the grant, provided the recipient remains employed with the Company on such date, and subject to certain other events described below. No payment may be made upon settlement of the RSUs on a date

==> picture [540 x 15] intentionally omitted <==

63

==> picture [468 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

following the Outside Date (as defined below). Upon vesting, each RSU granted under the Original Incentive Plan will be paid out in cash or Common Shares at the election of the GC Committee and if paid in cash, will have a value equal to the five-day weighted average trading price for the Common Shares on the TSX immediately prior to the vesting date. If the GC Committee elects to pay out the RSUs granted under the Original Incentive Plan in Common Shares, the Company will issue the number of fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares underlying such share unit awards subject to adjustments for dividends (as described below) and other corporate actions.

Each RSU granted under the 2021 Incentive Plan will, upon vesting, be paid out in cash and will have a value equal to the fiveday weighted average trading price for the Common Shares on the TSX immediately prior to the vesting date.

PSUs also vest and are paid out no more than three years after the date of the grant, provided the recipient remains employed with the Company on such date, and subject to certain other events described below. No payment may be made upon settlement of the PSUs on a date following the Outside Date. At the time of payout, the Board will apply a "payout multiplier" to the PSU grant which may increase or decrease the amount of the payout relative to the target award. The payout multiplier may range from zero to 2.0x and will be determined by the Board based on the Company's performance, relative to a performance target set at the time of grant, over the vesting period.

For grants of PSUs to the executive officers beginning in the 2019 calendar year, the Board adopted multiple performance measures for PSU payout multiplier calculations, while maintaining total shareholder return with a 50% weighting. The first of these grants (2019) vested in the first quarter of 2022 following the three-year performance period.

The PSUs granted to the CEO and CFO under the Original Incentive Plan in 2020 were applied a payout multiplier, upon vesting in January 2023 following a three-year performance period, based on: (i) 50% on total shareholder return as compared against the applicable Compensation Market; and (ii) 50% on a corporate scorecard including measurable performance compared to strategic plans approved by the GC Committee. The Company's strategic plan is designed to create value for shareholders over the long term. The GC Committee and the Board believe measurement of the executive officers' achievements against these plans should form an integral component of long-term executive compensation. Calculation of performance is done annually, along with rationale for each measure, and reported at the end of the three-year performance period given that the Company does not provide guidance or financial/operational forecasts.

Under no instances will the payout multiplier exceed 2.0x. Upon vesting, each PSU granted under the Original Incentive Plan was paid out in cash or Common Shares and if paid in cash had a value equal to the five-day weighted average trading price on the TSX for the Common Shares immediately prior to the vesting date, as adjusted for the payout multiplier. If the GC Committee elected to pay out the PSUs in Common Shares, which it never did, the Company would issue the number of fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares underlying such share unit awards subject to adjustments for dividends and other corporate actions.

Each PSU granted under the 2021 Incentive Plan will be paid out in cash with a value equal to the five-day weighted average trading price on the TSX for the Common Shares immediately prior to the vesting date, as adjusted for the payout multiplier. PSU grants in 2022 vested in January 2025 and received a payout multiplier of 1.8167x which reflects first quartile performance measured against the 2022 Compensation Market and top quartile performance against other measured Company targets and objectives contained in the Corporate Scorecard. See " Compensation Discussion and Analysis – Executive Compensation – Components of Compensation – Long-term Incentive Program " and " Compensation Discussion and Analysis – Executive " Compensation – 2022 PSU Grants Vesting January 2025 - Three Year Performance Measurement Scorecard (2022-2024) .

Payouts of vested share unit awards will also include consideration for dividends paid on the Common Shares over the vesting period by notionally reinvesting the dividends in the share unit awards. All share unit awards which do not vest will be forfeited and cancelled.

The 2021 Incentive Plan provides that the aggregate number of notional Common Shares represented by granted incentive awards (together with any Common Shares reserved for issuance under any security-based compensation arrangements adopted by the Company) shall not exceed 2% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares.

The 2021 Incentive Plan provides for the extension of the payment date of a share unit award, where the payment date for such award occurs during, or within 10 business days of the end of a Company-imposed trading blackout applicable to the relevant participant. In such cases, the payment date shall be extended to the 10[th] business day after the expiry of the blackout period provided that in any case; such payment date cannot be later than December 31 in the third calendar year after which such share unit award was granted (the " Outside Date ").

Pursuant to the terms of the 2021 Incentive Plan, the Board may, at any time, without the approval of the shareholders suspend discontinue or amend the 2021 Incentive Plan or a share unit award made thereunder, provided that, unless a holder of share unit awards agrees, the Board may not suspend, discontinue or amend the 2021 Incentive Plan or amend any outstanding share unit award in a manner that would adversely alter or impair any share unit award previously granted to a grantee under the 2021 Incentive Plan, and any such suspension, discontinuance or amendment of the 2021 Incentive Plan or amendment to a share unit award shall apply only in respect of share unit awards granted on or after the date of such suspension, discontinuance or amendment.

Under the 2021 Incentive Plan, in case of an employee's retirement, death or disability, the Company will make a payment to such employee or his or her legal representatives in respect of share unit awards held by the employee equal to the target amount of any such share unit awards at the date of grant. In addition, if an employee's employment is terminated by reason of voluntary resignation or for just cause, all awards granted to such employee under the Incentive Plans will be terminated and all rights to receive payments thereunder will be forfeited by the employee. If an employee's employment is terminated by the Company without just cause, the employee will only be entitled to payments in respect to such share unit awards for which the vesting date occurs prior to the termination date of employment. These provisions are subject to any alternative arrangements that may be contained in a separate grant agreement or employment agreement between the Company and a particular employee. See " Compensation Discussion and Analysis – Executive Compensation – Compensation Tables – Termination and Change of Control Benefits ".

If the Company completes a change of control transaction, and as a result of such transaction the holders of Common Shares receive securities of the continuing entity (replacement securities) in full substitution or replacement for the Common Shares, all share unit awards will remain outstanding with appropriate adjustments made to (i) the number of replacement securities notionally underlying the share unit awards held by each holder, and (ii) dividends paid on the Common Shares (as replaced by the replacement securities) during the term of such share unit awards, in each case to appropriately account for, and provide economic equivalence based on, the exchange ratio of replacement securities issued for Common Shares. In addition, following any transaction where the share unit awards remain outstanding, the minimum payout multiplier applicable to those share unit awards upon vesting will be 1.0x. However, if: (i) the continuing entity does not (or, upon the occurrence of the transaction, will not) substitute or replace, or the nature of the transaction does not provide for the full substitution or replacement of, the Common Shares with replacement securities on the above described terms; (ii) the Board determines, acting reasonably, that such substitution or replacement is not practicable or does not substantially preserve the rights of the holders of share unit awards; (iii) the Board determines, acting reasonably, that such substitution or replacement would give rise to adverse tax results to holders of share unit awards; or (iv) the replacement securities are not (or, upon the occurrence of the transaction, will not be) listed and posted for trading on a recognizable stock exchange; then the holder will receive a cash payment in respect of all outstanding share unit awards in respect of which payment has not been made (whether or not otherwise vested or payable), conditional upon the transaction being completed. Such cash payment will be based on the market value of the Common Shares on the effective date of the transaction and, in the case of PSUs, be adjusted for the payout multiplier factor based on the performance period ended on the effective date of the transaction, and, in the case of PSUs and RSUs, taking into account dividends declared by the Company up to the effective date of the transaction.

During the 2024 calendar year, PSUs and RSUs granted to the NEOs represented 75% and 0%, respectively, of the grant date value of their annual long-term incentives grant. The RSUs granted to the Vice President, Geosciences and Capital Markets represented a one-time grant upon joining PrairieSky. The grant date value of PSUs and RSUs granted to the Named Executive Officers in fiscal 2024 is included under the " Share-Based Awards " column in the " Summary Compensation Table " starting on page 55.

OFFICER DEFERRED SHARE UNIT PLAN (ODSU PLAN)

The Company adopted the ODSU Plan effective November 29, 2019, a copy of which is available on the Company's website at www.prairiesky.com/governance. Pursuant to the ODSU Plan, the Board may grant ODSUs to officers from time to time and the GC Committee may determine the vesting schedule of the ODSUs (if any). The purpose of the ODSU Plan is to assist the Company in attracting and retaining individuals with experience and ability to act as officers and employees of the Company and to promote a proprietary interest in the Company and a greater alignment of interests between officers and the shareholders.

Upon a grant of ODSUs, an officer's account will be credited with notional ODSUs. When a cash dividend is paid on Common Shares, if any, each officer's ODSU account will be allocated additional ODSUs calculated by dividing: (i) the value of dividends that would have been paid to such officer if the ODSUs recorded in his or her account had been Common Shares; by (ii) the closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX on the date immediately prior to the date the cash dividend is paid. Where the date on which the dividends are deemed to be paid on the ODSU falls within a Blackout Period (as defined in the ODSU Plan), then the deemed dividend payment date shall automatically occur and be effective on the second Trading Day (as defined in the ODSU Plan) immediately following the end of such Blackout Period.

The ODSUs granted under the ODSU Plan may be redeemed by the officer for a lump sum cash payment following the later of: (i) the date the officer ceased to actively perform active day-to-day duties; and (ii) the end of the notice period applicable to the officer's termination of employment (the " Officer's Termination Date "). In the case of an officer whose employment ceases for any other reason than Just Cause (as defined in the ODSU Plan) or as a result of voluntary resignation (other than a bona fide retirement), all ODSUs will vest and the value of the ODSUs credited to the officer's account will be redeemable by the officer (or his or her estate, if the officer has died) following the Officer's Termination Date. In the case of an officer whose employment has been terminated for Just Cause or who has voluntarily resigned (other than a bona fide retirement), the value of all vested ODSUs credited to the officer's account will be redeemable following the Officer's Termination Date, but no unvested ODSUs will be redeemable. Upon a Change of Control (as defined in the ODSU Plan), all ODSUs credited to an officer's account will vest.

Following an Officer's Termination Date, the former officer will be entitled to redeem his or her ODSUs for a lump sum cash payment equal to the value calculated by multiplying the closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX (or any such stock exchange on which the Common Shares are then listed) on the date immediately prior to the date on which the officer provides written notice of redemption to the Company by the number of ODSUs in the former officer's account, net of applicable withholdings. There is no ability for the Company to settle any redeemed ODSUs in Common Shares of the Company. If the former officer does not redeem his or her vested ODSUs within fifteen business days following the Officer's Termination Date, the ODSUs shall be automatically redeemed on the fifteenth business day following the Officer's Termination Date. The Company may defer the payment of the cash lump sum to a date no later than December 31 of the first calendar year following the Officer's Termination Date, notwithstanding any notice of redemption by the officer. The foregoing deferral payment option does not apply following a Change of Control.

An aggregate of 54,233 ODSUs were granted on January 1, 2024, all of which were granted to the CEO, CFO and CCO. An additional 2,163 were granted to the Vice President, Geosciences and Capital Markets on January 29, 2024 upon joining PrairieSky. The ODSU grants represented 25% of the NEO's long-term incentive awards for 2024. See " Compensation Discussion and Analysis – Executive Compensation – Components of Compensation – Long-term Incentive Program ".

OPTION PLAN

The Company had adopted an amended and restated Stock Option Plan (the " Option Plan ") for its employees, including management, a copy of which is available under the Company's SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.com and the Company's website at www.prairiesky.com\governance.

The Option Plan provided for options to purchase Common Shares (" Options ") to be granted from time to time to eligible employees. Directors were not eligible to participate in the Option Plan. Pursuant to the Option Plan, the maximum number of Common Shares that could be issued pursuant to the exercise of Options granted under the Option Plan was limited, in the

==> picture [540 x 15] intentionally omitted <==

66

==> picture [468 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

aggregate, to 5% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares (on a non-diluted basis) at any time, less the number of Common Shares reserved for issuance at such time pursuant to any other security-based compensation arrangement of the Company (including the Original Incentive Plan).

Under the Option Plan, the Board had the power to determine the time or times when Options were granted, vested and became exercisable. The Option Plan provided that the expiry date of an Option would be no more than the date which is five years from the date of grant of such Option. Although not prescribed in the Option Plan, except in certain circumstances, the Board provided for gradual vesting periods for each grant of Options, in proportions determined by the Board, with the first portion vesting on the date that is one year after the date of grant, another portion vesting on the second anniversary of the date of grant and a final portion vesting on the third anniversary of the date of grant. The exercise price of an Option must be no less than the closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX on the last business day preceding the date on which the Option is approved by the Board (or where the approval occurs during a blackout period, the 10th business day after the expiry of the blackout period). Additionally, the Option Plan contained a "cashless exercise" feature.

Pursuant to the Option Plan, the maximum number of Common Shares that could be issued to insiders of the Company under the Option Plan was 5% of the total issued and outstanding Common Shares (calculated on a non-diluted basis) at the date of grant, less the aggregate number of Common Shares reserved for issuance to insiders under any other security-based compensation arrangement of the Company (the " Aggregate Insider Option Limit "). The maximum number of Common Shares that could be issued to any individual holder under the Option Plan was 5% of the number of issued and outstanding Common Shares (calculated on a non-diluted basis) at the date of grant, less the aggregate number of Common Shares reserved for issuance to such holder under any other security-based compensation arrangement of the Company (the " Individual Option Limit "). In addition, the maximum number of Common Shares that could be issued to any one insider of the Company under the Option Plan within a one year period was the Individual Option Limit, excluding Common Shares issued to the insider under the Option Plan or any other security-based compensation arrangement during the preceding one year period and the maximum number of Common Shares that could be issued to insiders of the Company under the Option Plan within a one year period was the Aggregate Insider Option Limit, excluding Common Shares issued to insiders of the Company under the Option Plan or any other security-based compensation arrangement during the preceding one year period.

The Company did not grant any Options in years after 2020 and the GC Committee and the Board do not expect to grant any further Options under the Option Plan. To the extent that any Options are granted in the future, such Options would not be exercisable until such time as the Company obtained shareholder approval for such grants in accordance with the policies of the TSX. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had nil outstanding Options.

OTHER INFORMATION

SECURITIES AUTHORIZED FOR ISSUANCE UNDER EQUITY COMPENSATION PLANS

The Company no longer has any Common Shares authorized for issuance under the Option Plan or the Original Incentive Plan as the Company did not seek approval of any unallocated Options or share unit awards under the Option Plan and Original Incentive Plan in 2020 and 2021, respectively, in accordance with the policies of the TSX. The GC Committee and the Board currently have no intention of granting Options under the Option Plan or share unit awards under the Original Incentive Plan in the future.

ANNUAL BURN RATE UNDER EQUITY COMPENSATION PLANS

The Company no longer has any dilutive instruments outstanding. Beginning in 2021, all long-term incentive awards granted by the Company are in non-dilutive instruments. All historical and potentially dilutive Options, RSUs and PSUs have vested, expired or were cancelled. The Company has nil dilutive instruments outstanding.
