MANAGEMENT PROXY CIRCULAR

GENERAL INFORMATION

This management proxy circular (" Circular ") is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the management of Strata-X Energy Ltd. (" Strata-X " or the " Corporation ") for use at the extraordinary general meeting (the " Meeting ") of holders of common shares of the Corporation to be held on May 28, 2019, at 10:00 a.m. (Denver time) at 1620 Market St. Suite #3w, Denver, Colorado, USA 80202, and at any adjournment of the Meeting, for the purposes set out in the accompanying Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting (the " Notice of Meeting ") and at any adjournment thereof.

Except as otherwise stated, the information in this Circular is given as of April 23, 2019.

All amounts in this Circular are recorded in United States dollars unless specified otherwise.

PROXY INSTRUCTIONS

Solicitation of Proxies

The proxy solicitation is made on behalf of the management of the Corporation. Mailing of this Circular and the form of proxy (" Proxy Form ") will commence on or about May 1, 2019. The costs incurred in the preparation and mailing of the Proxy Form, Notice of Meeting and this Circular will be borne by Strata-X. In addition to solicitation by mail, proxies may be solicited personally, by telephone or other means of communication, by directors, officers and employees of the Corporation, who will not be specifically remunerated for such solicitations. The Corporation has arranged for intermediaries to forward meeting materials to beneficial owners of the shares held of record by those intermediaries and may reimburse the intermediaries for their reasonable fees and disbursements in that regard.

Appointment of Proxy

The purpose of a proxy is to designate persons who will vote the proxy on a shareholder’s behalf in accordance with the instructions given by the shareholder in the proxy.

The instrument appointing a proxy shall be in writing and shall be executed by the shareholder or their attorney authorized in writing or, if the shareholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal or by an officer or attorney of such corporation duly authorized.

The persons named in the enclosed Proxy Form are directors and/or officers of Strata-X (the “ Management Proxyholders ”). Each shareholder has the right to appoint a proxy holder other than the Management Proxyholders, who need not be a shareholder, to attend and to act for them and on their behalf at the Meeting. To exercise such right, the names of the Management Proxyholders should be crossed out and the name of the shareholder's appointee should be legibly printed in the blank space provided.

Voting by Proxy

Only registered shareholders or duly appointed proxyholders are permitted to vote at the Meeting. Holders of CDIs are not registered holders and should refer to the section entitled “CDI Holders May Give Instruction to CHESS Depositary Nominees Pty. Ltd. (“CDN”).” Shares represented by a properly executed proxy will be voted or be withheld from voting on each matter referred to in the Notice of Meeting in accordance with the instructions of the shareholder on any ballot that may be called for and if the shareholder specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the shares will be voted accordingly.

If a shareholder does not specify a choice and the shareholder has appointed one of the Management Proxyholders as proxyholder, the Management Proxyholder will vote on the matter as described under each item of business in this Information Circular.

  • 5 -

The enclosed form of proxy also gives discretionary authority to the person named therein as proxyholder with respect to amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice of the Meeting and with respect to other matters which may properly come before the Meeting. At the date of this Circular, management of the Corporation knows of no such amendments, variations or other matters to come before the Meeting.

Completion and Return of Proxies (for holders of TSX-V Common Shares)

The completed instrument of PROXY must be dated and signed and the duly completed instrument of proxy must be deposited at the Company's Transfer Agent, COMPUTERHSARE INVESTOR SERVICES INC. no later than forty eight (48) hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) prior to the time of the Meeting, or adjournment thereof or may be accepted by the Chairman of the Meeting prior to the commencement of the Meeting. The mailing address for proxies is:

Computershare Investor Services Inc.

100 University Avenue, 9th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2Y1 Fax number: 1-866-249-7775 Vote by Phone: Registered Shareholders: 1-866-732-VOTE (8683) Beneficial Shareholders: 1-866-734-VOTE (8683)

Vote Online: www.investorvote.com

The instrument of proxy must be signed by the shareholder or by his duly authorized attorney. If signed by a duly authorized attorney, the instrument of proxy must be accompanied by the original power of attorney or a notarially certified copy thereof. If the shareholder is a corporation, the instrument of proxy must be signed by a duly authorized attorney, officer, or corporate representative, and must be accompanied by the original power of attorney or document whereby the duly authorized officer or corporate representative derives his power, as the case may be, or a notarially certified copy thereof.

Instructions for holders of CHESS Depository Interests (CDI’s) are set out on the next page.

Revocation of Proxies

A shareholder who has submitted a proxy may revoke it at any time up to and including the close of business on the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment of the Meeting, by signing a statement in writing (or having your attorney, as authorized in writing, sign a statement) to this effect and delivering it to the Corporation at its registered office at Suite 2080-777 Hornby Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6Z 1S4, Attention: Shauna Hartman or the Corporation’s transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc.,100 University Avenue, 9th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2Y. If a person who has given a proxy attends personally at the Meeting at which such proxy is to be voted, such person may revoke the proxy at the Meeting and vote in person. In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a proxy may also be revoked by depositing such written statement with the Chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment of the Meeting.

BENEFICIAL HOLDERS OF COMMON SHARES

The information set out in this section is of significant importance to many shareholders who do not hold their common shares in their own name. Only proxies deposited by shareholders whose names appear on the register of the Corporation as the registered holders of common shares can be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting. Most shareholders of the Corporation are “non-registered” shareholders because the shares they own are not registered in their names but instead are registered in the name of a nominee such as a brokerage firm through which they purchased the shares; a bank, trust company, trustee or administrator of self-administered RRSPs, RRIFs, RESPs and similar plans; or a clearing agency (each a “Nominee”) such as CDS Clearing and Depositary Services Inc., or, in Australia, CDN. If you purchased your shares through a broker, you are likely an unregistered holder. Common shares held by your broker or their nominee can only be voted upon based on your instructions. Without specific instructions, your broker or their nominee is prohibited from voting your shares. Therefore, beneficial shareholders should ensure that instructions respecting the voting of their common shares are communicated to the appropriate person or entity.

  • 6 -

Non-Registered Holders Other Than CDI Holders

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 shares are voted at the Meeting. Often, the form of proxy supplied by your broker is identical to the Proxy Form 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. Broadridge mails a scanable voting instruction form in lieu of the Proxy Form provided by Strata-X. You are asked to complete and return the voting instruction form to them by mail or facsimile. Alternately, you can call their toll-free telephone number, 1-888-237-1900, or access Broadridge's internet website at www.broadridge.com to vote your common shares. They then tabulate the results of all instructions received and provide appropriate instructions respecting the voting of the common shares to be represented at the Meeting. If you receive a voting instruction form from Broadridge it cannot be used as a proxy to vote shares directly at the Meeting as the voting instruction form must be returned to Broadridge well in advance of the Meeting in order to have your common shares voted or to appoint an alternative representative to attend at the Meeting in person to vote such common shares.

If you arc a beneficial shareholder and wish to vote in person at the Meeting, you should insert your own name in the space provided on the voting instruction form provided to you by your nominee and return the completed form to Broadridge. Do not complete the voting section of the form as your vote will be taken at the Meeting.

In addition, Canadian securities legislation now permits the Corporation to forward meeting materials directly to “non objecting beneficial owners”. If the Corporation or its agent has sent these materials directly to you (instead of through a Nominee), your name and address and information about your holdings of securities have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the Nominee holding on your behalf. By choosing to send these materials to you directly, the Corporation (and not the Nominee holding on your behalf) has assumed responsibility for (i) delivering these materials to you and (ii) executing your proper voting instructions. Please return your voting instructions as specified in the “Completion and Return of Proxy” section above. The Corporation does not intend to pay for intermediaries to forward materials to “objecting beneficial owners” under NI 54-101, and as a result such “objecting beneficial owner” will not receive this Circular or a proxy form unless the “objecting beneficial owner’s” intermediary assumes the cost of delivery.

CDI HOLDERS MAY GIVE INSTRUCTION TO CDN

A “ CDI ” is a CHESS Depositary Interest representing an uncertificated unit of beneficial ownership in the common shares of the Corporation registered in the name of CDN. One CDI represents one underlying common share of the Corporation. “ CHESS ” refers to the Clearing House Electronic Subregister System, which is the electronic system pursuant to which CDIs of the Corporation trade on the Australian Securities Exchange (the “ ASX ”).

Holders of CDIs are non-registered or beneficial owners of the underlying common shares, which underlying shares are registered in the name of CDN. As holders of CDIs are not the legal owners of the underlying common shares, CDN is entitled to vote at meetings of shareholders on the instruction of the registered holder of the CDIs.

As a result, registered holders of CDIs can expect to receive a voting instruction form (a “ VIF ”), together with the Meeting materials, from the Company. These VIFs are to be completed by holders of CDIs who wish to vote at the Meeting and returned to the Company in accordance with the instructions contained therein. Completed VIF forms must be returned to the Company by 5.00pm (Sydney time) on May 24, 2019 or no later than fortyeight (48) hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, prior to the cut-off time for the receipt of proxies before any adjourned or postponed Meeting.

CDN is required to follow the voting instructions properly received from registered holders of CDIs. If you hold your interest in CDIs through a broker, dealer or other intermediary, you will need to follow the instructions of your intermediary.

A registered holder of a CDI can request CDN to appoint the holder (or a person nominated by the registered holder) as proxy to exercise the votes attaching to the underlying common shares represented by the holders of CDIs. In such case, as holder the CDI may, as proxy, attend and vote in person at the Meeting.

  • 7 -

If you hold your interest in CDIs through a broker, dealer or other intermediary, you will need to follow the instructions of your intermediary and request a form of legal proxy which will grant you the right to attend the Meeting and vote in person.

Registered holders of CDIs that wish to change their vote must in sufficient time in advance of the Meeting contact the Company to arrange to change their vote. If you hold your interest in CDIs through a broker, dealer or other intermediary, you must in sufficient time in advance of the Meeting arrange for your intermediary to change its vote through the Company in accordance with the revocation procedure set out above.

APPLICATION OF CANADIAN CORPORATE AND SECURITIES LAW - NOTICE TO HOLDERS OF CDIS

The Corporation is an oil and gas company trading on the TSX Venture Exchange (“ TSX - V ”) (under the symbol SXE), on the ASX (under the symbol SXA). The Corporation was continued into and currently exists under and is governed by the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (“ BCBCA ”) and the provisions of the Corporation’s Notice of Articles and Articles. The Corporation is registered as a foreign company in Australia pursuant to the Australian Corporations Act (2001) (Cth) (the “ Corporations Act ”).

Chapters 6, 6A, 6B and 6C of the Australian Corporations Act

The Corporation is not subject to Chapters 6, 6A, 6B and 6C of the Corporations Act dealing with the acquisition of shares (i.e. substantial holdings and takeovers).

Summary of Canadian Legal Requirements Respecting the Acquisition of Securities of the Corporation

Applicable Canadian laws, like their Australian equivalent, are very technical. Accordingly, shareholders should consult their own Canadian legal advisors with respect to Canadian legal requirement matters, rather than relying upon this general summary.

In general, subject to compliance with applicable Canadian securities laws, a holder of shares in the capital of a corporation incorporated under the BCBCA is entitled to transfer his, her or its shares to anyone else upon compliance with the provisions of the BCBCA and the articles of the corporation.

Canadian securities laws impose certain limitations on the acquisition of securities. The issuance to the public and trading of securities in Canada is regulated at the provincial/territorial level by securities legislation administered by the relevant provincial or territorial securities commission.

Takeover bids are regulated primarily by provincial and territorial securities legislation and, to a limited extent, the corporate statutes under which the target company is incorporated. Under provincial or territorial securities regulations, an offer to acquire shares of an issuer by a “control person” of that issuer may constitute a formal take-over bid. Under the Securities Act (British Columbia), a “control person” is generally defined as any person, company or combination of persons or companies whose holdings represent a sufficient number of securities of the issuer to materially affect the control of that issuer. A holding of more than 20%, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, is deemed to materially affect control of the issuer. In addition, any offer to acquire voting or equity securities where such securities together with the offeror’s securities represent an aggregate of 20% or more of the outstanding securities of that class will constitute a take-over bid.

Unless an exemption from formal take-over bid requirements under applicable Canadian securities legislation can be obtained, persons or companies seeking to make a take-over bid must comply with detailed rules governing bids prescribed by applicable provincial or territorial securities laws. For example, under the applicable securities legislation, exempt bids include bids made over the facilities of the TSX-V and a bid for not more than 5% of the outstanding securities of a class of securities, so long as the aggregate number of securities of that class acquired by the offeror and any person acting jointly or in concert with the offerer in the previous twelve months is not greater than 5% of the class and the bid is for a price not in excess of the market price for those securities.

Reporting by Substantial Shareholders and Insiders

Under the insider reporting and trading rules of applicable Canadian securities legislation, reporting obligations and trading restrictions are placed on substantial shareholders. A reporting “insider” generally includes any person or company who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, voting securities, or who exercises control or

  • 8 -

direction over voting securities or a reporting issuer or a combination of both, carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to all outstanding voting securities.

Shareholders who become insiders must file an “Insider Profile” in the prescribed form under National Instrument 55-102 – System for Electronic Disclosure by Insiders (“SEDI”). Further insider reports must be filed within five calendar days of any change in the ownership or control or direction over securities of the Corporation of that insider. Insider reports must be filed electronically on SEDI at www.sedi.ca.

Waivers Granted by the ASX

CDI holders should note that the Corporation has been granted waivers from certain Listing Rules of the ASX. In particular, the Corporation has received a waiver from ASX Listing Rule 14.2.1 which requires that a form of proxy allow a securityholder to vote for or against each resolution.

Under applicable Canadian securities laws, the form of proxy to be provided must only allow securityholders to vote in favour of or to withhold their vote in respect of a resolution to elect a director or appoint an auditor, but not to vote against it. The Corporation’s waiver from ASX Listing Rule 14.2.1 only applies to the extent necessary to permit it to comply with the proxy requirements under applicable Canadian securities laws and for so long as such laws prevent the Corporation from permitting Shareholders to vote against a resolution to elect a director or appoint an auditor.

The Corporation has also received a waiver from ASX Listing Rule 14.3 to the extent necessary to permit the Corporation to accept nominations for the election of directors in accordance with Canadian securities laws. Under ASX Listing Rule 14.3, an ASX listed entity must accept nominations for the election of directors up to 35 business days (or in the case of a meeting that securityholders have requested directors to call, 30 business days) before the date of the meeting at which directors may be elected, unless the entity’s constitution provides otherwise. Part 5, Division 7 of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) provides a mechanism for Shareholders to submit proposals for consideration at an annual meeting, including nominations for election of directors, up to 90 days prior to the anniversary date of the previous annual meeting. If the proposal includes a nomination for election, the proposal must be signed by one or more holders of shares representing an aggregate of not less than 5% of the voting shares. A Shareholder who is entitled to submit a proposal is also entitled to discuss at an annual meeting any subject, including nominations for election of directors, in respect of which they would be entitled to make a proposal. In this manner, nominations for election of directors may be made at the meeting, and it is possible that a person could be elected director without his or her nomination disclosed prior to the date of the meeting.

INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

None of the directors, officers or nominees for election as a director of the Corporation, or any of their associates or affiliates, has or has had any interest, direct or indirect, in any matter to be acted upon at the Meeting other than as set out in this Circular.

VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINICIPAL HOLDERS OF VOTING SECURITIES

Record Date

The board of directors of Strata-X has fixed April 23, 2019 (the "Record Date") , as the record date for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to receive the Notice of Meeting and vote at the Meeting. Each shareholder as at the record date is entitled to one vote for each common share of Strata-X held. Shareholders of record will be entitled to vote those shares included in the list of shareholders entitled to vote at the Meeting prepared as at the Record Date, unless any such shareholder transfers their shares after the Record Date and the transferee of those shares establishes that they own the shares and demands, not later than the close of business on the date ten days before the Meeting, that the transferee's name be included in the list of shareholders entitled to vote at the Meeting, in which case such transferee shall be entitled to vote such shares at the Meeting.

Voting Securities

The Corporation has only two classes of shares, being the common and preferred shares.

The authorized capital of the Corporation consists of an unlimited number of common shares and an unlimited number of preferred shares. As of April 23, 2019 , there were 89,538,318 common shares issued and outstanding and

  • 9 -

no preferred shares issued and outstanding. Of such issued and outstanding common shares, 66,440,555 were held by CDN on behalf of holders of CDIs. All references to outstanding shares (or common shares) in this Circular include the shares held by CDN (“ Shares ”) and all references to holders of shares includes both holders of common shares and holders of CDIs (“ Shareholders”) .

Each common share carries the right to one vote. A quorum will be present at the Meeting if there is at least one person present holding or representing by proxy in the aggregate not less than 5% of the shares entitled to be voted at the Meeting.

The Corporation’s common shares are listed and traded in Canada on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol “SXE.V”. The CDIs are listed on the ASX under the symbol “SXA”.

To the knowledge of the directors and executive officers of the Company, as of the date of this Information Circular, only the following beneficially own, directly or indirectly, or exercise control or direction over, 10% or more of the common shares of the Company.

INFORMATION ON MATTERS TO BE ACTED ON AT THE MEETING

RATIFICATION OF ISSUE OF 8,333,334 UNITS TO SOPHISTICATED OR PROFESSIONAL INVESTORS (Resolution 1)

Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if thought fit, pass the following ordinary resolution with or without amendment:

“That for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.4 and for all other purposes, Shareholders ratify the previous issue of 8,333,334 Units ( Placement Units ) in the Corporation, to unrelated Sophisticated Investors and Professional Investors (having the meaning ascribed to those terms in the Corporations Act (“ Sophisticated and Professional Investors ”) on the terms and conditions set out in this Circular”.

On 26 February 2019, the Corporation announced an issue of 8,333,334 Units to Sophisticated and Professional Investors at an issue price of AUD$0.06 per Unit ( Placement Units ) (raising AUD$500,000 before costs). Each Placement Unit consisted of one CDI (with each CDI representing one common share) and one Warrant for every two CDIs subscribed for. Each Warrant is exerciseable in to one CDI at an exercise price of AUD$0.07 until February 28, 2021.

ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A provide that an ASX listed corporation must not, subject to certain exceptions, issue or agree to issue new equity securities (which includes CDIs) equivalent in number to more than 15% (LR7.1) or a further 10% (LR7.1A) of its capital in any 12 month period without the prior approval of its shareholders. However, equity securities issued with shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4 do not count towards the 15% or 10% limit.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 provides that an issue of equity securities made without prior approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and/or 7.1A can be treated as having been made with that approval if shareholders subsequently approve it and if the issue did not breach the 15% or 10% limit. The issue of the Placement Units did not breach the combined 15% and 10% limits.

The Corporation is seeking Shareholder approval under this resolution to ratify the issue of the Placement Units so as to preserve its capacity to issue further equity securities in the next 12 months without the need to obtain further Shareholder approval (subject to the Exchange Rules and the ASX Listing Rules).

For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.5 the Corporation advises as follows (with all share numbers and share prices stated on a post-Consolidation basis):

(a) Number of securities alloted

The number of Placement Units issued was 8,333,334. This comprised 8,333,334 CDIs, together with 4,166,674 Unquoted Warrants (over CDIs).

8,099,498 CDIs were issued within the Company’s LR7.1A 10% limit, with the balance of securites (233,826 CDIs and 4,166,674 Unquoted Options) issued within the Company’s LR7.1 15% limit.

(b) Price at which the Tranche 1 Placement Units were issued

The Placement Units were issued at an issue price of AUD$0.06 per Unit.

(c) Terms of Placement Units

The CDIs are fully paid. The underlying shares for the Placement CDIs rank equally with all other common shares and the holder of the Placement CDIs have the same rights as all other CDI holders.

A summary of the material terms of the Unquoted Warrants is set out below:

  • The Warrants will expire on 28 February 2021 ( Expiry Date ) unless earlier exercised.

  • The Warrants are non-transferable.

  • 11 -

  • The Warrants may be exercised at any time wholly or in part by delivering a duly completed Warrant Exercise Form together with a cheque for the exercise price of AUD$0.07 each to the Company at any time prior to the Expiry Date.

  • Upon the valid exercise of the Warrants and payment of the exercise price, the Company will issue fully paid Shares/CDIs ranking pari passu with the then issued Shares/CDIs.

  • The Company shall apply for listing on ASX of the resulting CDIs of the Company issued upon exercise of any Warrants.

  • Holders of Warrants do not have any right to participate in new issues of securities in the Company made to Shareholders generally. The Company will, where required pursuant to the Listing Rules, provide holders of Warrants with notice prior to the books record date (to determine entitlements to any new issue of securities made to shareholders generally) to exercise the Warrants, in accordance with the requirements of the Listing Rules.

  • Holders of Warrants do not participate in any dividends unless the Warrants are exercised and the resultant Shares are issued prior to the Record Date to determine entitlements to the dividend.

  • If there is a pro rata issue (except a bonus issue), the exercise price of a Warrant may be reduced, subject to receipt of any required regulatory or stock exchange approvals, according to the following formula:

Wn = W - E[P - (S + D)]

N + 1

Where:

  • Wn = the new exercise price of the Warrant;

  • W = the old exercise price of the Warrant:

  • E = the number of underlying Shares into which one Warrant is exercisable;

  • P = the average market price per Share (weighted by reference to volume) of the underlying Shares during the five trading days ending on the day before the ex rights date or ex entitlements date;

  • S = the subscription price for a Share under the pro rata issue;

  • D = the dividend due but not yet paid on existing underlying Shares (except those to be issued under the pro rata issue); and

  • N = the number of Shares with rights or entitlements that must be held to receive a right to one new Share.
