LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
February 26, 2026
Dear Fellow Shareholders:
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am pleased to invite you to Source Energy Services Ltd.'s ("Source" or the "Company") 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the "Meeting") to be held on Friday, May 8, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. (MDT) in a virtual, audio-only webcast format.
The attached Management Information Circular ("Circular") sets out the business to be addressed at this year's Meeting and provides important information about voting, the directors who are standing for election this year, director and executive compensation, corporate governance, and environmental and social practices. Please take some time to read this document and submit your proxy or voting instruction form. Your vote is very important to Source.
2025 In Review
Despite some commodity price challenges, 2025 was another good year for Source as we delivered record volumes and record revenue. We enhanced our logistics capabilities with the Taylor terminal, strengthened our last mile logistics with additional trucking assets and expanded our Domestic sand capability to one million tonnes per year. We enhanced our shareholder return by initiating a share repurchase program which repurchased and cancelled 464,800 shares and we reduced our term loan by $23.7 Million.
Looking forward to 2026, despite some global instability, we believe the macroeconomic backdrop will continue to be favorable in the WCSB which will result in stable demand for Source's industry leading services. While our E&P customers continue to be disciplined in their capital spending, the small increases in spending have and will continue to lead to increased demand for our services. We also view some of the discussion of long-term diversification of the energy export market in Canada as a positive for the Canadian Energy industry.
Demonstrating Stakeholder Returns
We are committed to demonstrating excellence for all our stakeholders by enhancing shareholders returns, supporting vibrant and resilient communities wherever we operate and fostering a culture where employees feel engaged, inspired, and passionate about making a difference.
Please Vote
Your vote is important! Please use the proxy or voting instruction form provided to you to submit your vote prior to the deadline indicated on your proxy or voting instruction form.
Yours truly,
/s/ "Scott Melbourn"
Scott Melbourn
Chief Executive Officer and Director

VOTING INFORMATION
VOTING PROCEDURES
How do I vote?
Please follow the voting instructions based on whether you are a Registered Holder or a Beneficial Holder:
Registered Holders
You are a Registered Holder ("Registered Holder") if your name appears directly on your share certificate(s), or if you hold your Shares in book-entry form through the direct registration system (DRS) on the records of our transfer agent, Odyssey Trust Company.
Beneficial Holders
You are a Beneficial Holder ("Beneficial Holder") if you own Shares indirectly and the Shares are registered in the name of an intermediary. For example, you are a Beneficial Holder if your Shares are held in the name of a bank, trust company, securities broker, trustee, or custodian. In Canada, the majority of shares are registered under the name of CDS & Co. (the registration name for CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc.), which acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms.
HOW CAN I VOTE IF I AM A REGISTERED HOLDER?
Registered Holders: Option 1 – By Proxy

Registered Holders have the right to appoint another person or company to attend the Meeting and vote their Shares for them:
Registered Holders who wish to appoint a third-party proxyholder to attend, participate and vote at the Meeting as their proxyholder and vote their Shares must follow the 2-step process below. Failure to do so will result in such proxyholder not receiving a control number which is required to vote at the Meeting, and only being able to attend as a guest.
- Submit your form of proxy or voting instruction form: To appoint a third-party proxyholder, insert that person's name in the blank space provided in the form of proxy or voting instruction form and follow the instructions for submitting such form to the Transfer Agent prior to the voting deadline. This must be completed before registering such proxyholder, which is an additional step to be completed by the third-party proxyholder once you have submitted your form of proxy or voting instruction form.
- Registration of proxyholder and obtaining control number: You must also register the third-party proxyholder by emailing [email protected] by no later than the voting deadline, and provide Odyssey with your appointee's name, email, and number of Shares appointed and name of the Registered Holder, so that Odyssey may email the appointee their control number.
For more information, please see "How will my Shares be voted if I appoint a proxyholder?", below.
Registered Holders: Option 2 – At the Meeting
You do not need to do anything except attend the Meeting:
You will need your 12-digit control number, which can be found on your proxy form.

If you wish to vote Shares registered in the name of a legal entity, that entity must submit a properly executed proxy form to Odyssey Trust Company, which appoints you to vote the Shares on its behalf, by the proxy cut-off time.
HOW CAN I VOTE IF I AM A BENEFICIAL HOLDER?
If you are a Beneficial Holder who receives a proxy form, you should follow your intermediary's instructions for completing the form.
Without specific instructions, brokers, and other intermediaries (and their agents and nominees) are prohibited from voting Shares for their clients. Source does not know for whose benefit Shares registered in the name of CDS & Co. are held. Beneficial Holders can only be recognized at the Meeting for the purposes of voting Shares electronically on the day of the Meeting or by way of proxy by following the 2-step process as set forth below.
Often the form of proxy supplied to a Beneficial Holder by their broker/intermediary (or the agent of the broker) is very similar to the form of proxy provided to Registered Holders; however, its purpose is limited to instructing the broker/intermediary (or the agent of the broker) how to vote on behalf of the Beneficial Holder. The majority of brokers/intermediaries now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from its clients to Broadridge Investor Communication Solutions, Canada ("Broadridge"). Broadridge typically mails a form of proxy return form to Beneficial Holders and requests the Beneficial Holders to return the proxy forms to Broadridge. Broadridge then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of Shares to be represented at the Meeting. A Beneficial Holder receiving a proxy from Broadridge cannot use that proxy to vote Shares directly at the Meeting - the proxy must be returned to Broadridge well in advance of the Meeting in order for the Shares to be voted. Please carefully follow the voting instructions received in order to have your Shares voted at the Meeting.
Beneficial Holders: Option 1 – By Proxy

You will need your 16-digit control number, which can be found on your proxy form.

SOURCE ENERGY SERVICES LTD.
2026 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR
IS MY VOTE CONFIDENTIAL?
Yes.
Our registrar, Odyssey Trust Company, independently counts and tabulates the proxies to preserve the confidentiality of individual shareholder votes. Proxies are referred to Source only in cases where:
- a shareholder clearly intends to communicate with Management;
- there are questions as to the validity of a proxy; or
- it is necessary to do so to meet applicable legal requirements.
CAN I VOTE MY SHARES BY FILLING OUT AND RETURNING THE NOTICE?
No.
The notice sets forth the items to be voted on at the Meeting, but you cannot vote by marking the notice and returning it.
VOTING RESULTS
Following the Meeting, Source will post a report on voting results in the "Investors" section of our website, https://www.sourceenergyservices.com/ and issue a news release announcing the voting results. We will also file a copy of the results with Canadian securities regulatory authorities at SEDAR+ - Landing Page (sedarplus.ca). For more information, see the "Additional Information" section of this Circular.
ELECTRONIC DELIVERY OF SHAREHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS
NOTICE-AND-ACCESS
The "notice-and-access" provisions under National Instrument 54-101 – Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer (the "Notice-and-Access Provisions") are a set of rules developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators that allows issuers to provide meeting materials to securityholders via the internet. The Notice-and-Access Provisions allow issuers to mail a simpler set of materials to securityholders, rather than the traditional proxy package in paper form. Notice-and-access is more environmentally friendly as it helps reduce paper use and our carbon footprint and it should also reduce our printing and postage costs.
Instead of receiving printed copies of the notice of the Meeting, the Circular, the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2025 and management's discussion and analysis thereon ("Financial Information") (the Circular and Financial Information collectively, the "Meeting Materials"), both our Registered Holders and Beneficial Holders will receive a notice-and-access notification containing information on how to access the Meeting Materials electronically, and a proxy or voting instruction form, as applicable, enabling them to vote at the Meeting. We also provide paper copies of the Meeting Materials to Beneficial Holders who have standing instructions to receive, or for whom Source has otherwise received a request to provide, paper copies of materials.
This Circular together with related materials have been posted and is available for review on the Company's SEDAR+ profile at SEDAR+ (sedarplus.ca) and on our website at:
https://www.sourceenergyservices.com/investors/reports#notice.
Beginning March 25, 2026, shareholders may request a paper copy of the Circular for up to one year, at no charge. Requests for information about notice-and-access or for Meeting Materials may be made as follows:

If you request a paper copy of the Meeting Materials, you will not receive a new form of proxy so please retain the original form sent to you in order to vote.
Shareholders should submit their request by 5:00 p.m. (MDT) on April 27, 2026, to allow reasonable time to receive and review the Circular in advance of the Meeting and to vote their Shares.
Does Source provide electronic delivery of shareholder communications?
Yes. Electronic delivery is a voluntary program for our shareholders. Under this program, an email notification (with links to the documents posted on our website) is sent to you.
Electronic delivery reduces the cost and environmental impact of producing and distributing paper copies of documents in very large quantities. It also provides shareholders with faster access to information about Source.
HOW DO I ENROLL FOR ELECTRONIC DELIVERY OF SHAREHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS?
Registered Holders
If you are a Registered Holder, please go to https://odysseytrust.com/ca-en/help/. You will need information from your proxy form to register.
Beneficial Holders
For most Beneficial Holders, please go to ProxyVote.com - Powered by Broadridge for more instructions and to register. You will need your Enrollment Number/Control Number. You can find this number on your voting instruction form/proxy form.

The four (4) nominees to the Source Board are Chris Johnson, Jeff Belford, Scott Melbourn, and Steven Sharpe.
Each nominee is proposed to be elected for a term ending at the 2027 annual meeting of shareholders. Profiles for each of the four (4) nominees are provided on the following pages.
You will be asked to vote for each director on an individual basis. Each nominee has expressed their willingness to serve as a director of Source if elected. Source does not believe that any of the nominees will be unable to serve as a director but, if this should occur for any reason prior to the Meeting, the persons named in the enclosed proxy form may vote for another nominee at their discretion.
If Scott Melbourn or Derren Newell is your proxyholder and you have not given instructions on how to vote your Shares, he will vote "FOR" the election of each of the four (4) nominees named in this Circular. If a proposed nominee is unable to serve as a director or withdraws his or her name, the individuals named in your form of proxy or voting instruction form reserve the right to nominate and vote for another individual in their discretion.
Following the Meeting, Source will issue a press release that includes the number of votes cast for and withheld from each individual director.
MAJORITY VOTING POLICY
We have a majority voting policy that applies to the election of directors at the Meeting. This means that if a director receives more "withhold" votes than "for" votes at the Meeting, then the director will immediately tender his or her resignation to the Chair of the Board. The resignation is effective if it is accepted by the Board. The Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee will consider a director's offer to resign and make a recommendation to the Board whether or not to accept it. The Board will accept resignations, except in exceptional circumstances. The Board will have ninety (90) days from the Meeting to make and publicly disclose its decision by news release either to accept or reject the resignation (including reasons for rejecting the resignation, if applicable).
DIRECTOR QUALIFICATIONS
We believe that each of the director nominees possess character, integrity, judgment, business experience, a record of achievement and other skills and talents which enhance the Board and the overall management of the business and affairs of Source. Each director nominee understands our Company's principal operational and financial objectives, plans and strategies, financial position and performance, and the performance of Source relative to our principal competitors. The Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee considered these qualifications in determining to recommend the director nominees for election. Additional information is provided in the individual director profiles below and in the "Corporate Governance Practices" section of this Circular, which contains a "skills matrix" highlighting individual director skills and experiences.
NOMINATION OF DIRECTORS
The Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for selecting nominees for election to the Board. The Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for recommending suitable candidates for nomination for election or appointment as director and recommending the criteria governing the overall composition of the Board and governing the desirable characteristics for directors. In making such recommendations, the Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee considers: (a) the competencies and skills that the Board considers to be necessary for the Board, as a whole, to possess; (b) the competencies and skills that the Board considers to be necessary for each existing director to possess; (c) the competencies and skills that each new nominee will bring to the Board; and (d) whether or not each new nominee can devote sufficient time and resources to his or her duties as a member of the Board.
SOURCE ENERGY SERVICES LTD.
2026 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR
The Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee also reviews on a periodic basis the composition of the Board and analyzes the needs of the Board and recommends nominees who meet such needs.
Notwithstanding the above, pursuant to a nomination agreement dated April 13, 2017 between the Company and TriWest IV, the Company undertook, subject to certain conditions, to: (a) in the event TriWest IV and its affiliates beneficially own or exercise control or direction over at least 15% of the aggregate issued and outstanding Common Shares and Class B Shares, put forward two nominees of TriWest IV as directors proposed by the Company for election at any meeting of the shareholders at which directors are to be elected, and (b) in the event TriWest IV and its affiliates beneficially own or exercise control or direction over less than 15% but more than 7.5% of the aggregate issued and outstanding Common Shares and Class B Shares, put forward one nominee of TriWest IV as a director proposed by the Company for election at any meeting of the shareholders at which directors are to be elected. In the event TriWest IV and its affiliates beneficially own or exercise control or direction over less than 7.5% of the aggregate issued and outstanding Common Shares, the Company will not be obligated to include any nominee of TriWest IV as a director proposed by the Company at any meeting of the shareholders at which directors are to be elected.

Interlocking Directorships and Service on Other Boards
A board interlock occurs when two of the Company's directors also serve together on the board of another reporting issuer. Source has adopted a formal policy on external positions and board interlocks which requires that no more than two directors sit on the same public company board and that directors: (1) are able to devote the necessary time and attention to their duties as members of the Board, (2) avoid structural or fundamental conflicts by virtue of their sitting on other public company boards, and (3) are able to exercise independent judgment in the performance of those duties. The policy also sets out the procedure to be followed before an executive officer of the Company can be appointed to serve as a director of another company.
There were no interlocking Directors as at February 26, 2026.
Tenure
The Board has not adopted director term limits or other mechanisms of board renewal because:
- Source has found that having long standing directors on its Board does not negatively impact board effectiveness and instead contributes to boardroom dynamics such that Source has a consistently high performing Board;
- the imposition of director term limits implicitly discounts the value of experience and continuity amongst Board members and runs the risk of excluding experienced and valuable Board members because of an arbitrary determination;
- it is important to retain directors who hold significant investments in the Company, such that their interests are aligned with the interests of our shareholders;
- it is important to ensure that directors with significant and unique business experience in Source's industry are retained;
- directors with the level of understanding of Source's business, history and culture acquired through long service on the Board provide additional value; and
- term limits have the disadvantage of losing the contribution of directors who have been able to develop, over a period of time, insight into Source and its operations and thereby provide an increasing contribution to the Board.
Conflicts of Interest
Certain directors of the Company are also officers and/or directors of other companies engaged in mining and oil and natural gas businesses generally. As a result, situations may arise where the interest of such directors' conflict with their interests as directors and officers of other companies. The resolution of such conflicts is governed by applicable corporate laws, which require that directors act honestly, in good faith and with a view to the best interests of the Company. Conflicts, if any, will be handled in a manner consistent with the procedures set forth in the ABCA. The ABCA provides that in the event that a director has an interest in a material contract or material transaction, whether made or proposed, the director shall
SOURCE ENERGY SERVICES LTD.
2026 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR
disclose his or her interest in such contract or transaction to the Company and shall refrain from voting on any matter in respect of such contract or agreement unless otherwise provided by the ABCA.
Indemnity Agreements for Directors and Officers
Source has entered into indemnity agreements (in accordance with the indemnity provisions of the ABCA) with each of the directors and officers pursuant to which Source has agreed to indemnify such directors and officers from liability arising in connection with the performance of their duties.
DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
Approach to Director Compensation
Source's directors' compensation program has been designed to attract and retain the most qualified individuals to serve on its Board. The Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for reviewing and approving any changes to director compensation arrangements. Unlike compensation for the Named Executive Officers, the directors' compensation program is not designed to pay for performance; rather, directors receive retainers for their services in order to help ensure unbiased decision-making.
Director Compensation Components
The Company's non-executive director compensation program consists primarily of the following elements:
| DIRECTOR AND COMMITTEE MEMBER RETAINERS | |
|---|---|
| Form of Compensation | Cash |
| Purpose | Designed to help ensure unbiased decision making. |
| Determination | Each non-executive director receives an annual retainer fee paid quarterly, in arrears, pro-rated for partial service, if appropriate. |
| The Chair of each Committee receives an annual retainer fee paid quarterly, in arrears, pro-rated for partial service, if appropriate. | |
| DSU PLAN | |
| Form of Compensation | Cash |
| Purpose | Designed to motivate non-executive directors to achieve the longer-term objectives of the Company and serves to align the interest of non-executive directors with shareholders. |
| Determination | Each non-executive director may elect, once each calendar year, to receive all or a portion of their annual board retainer fee compensation in DSUs. DSUs vest on the date the non-executive director ceases to be a director and are paid out in cash only at such time. Dividend equivalents are earned at the same rate as cash dividends paid on the Common Shares. |
Directors receive annual retainers, Committee Chair retainers, and travel fees when applicable. Management directors do not receive fees for their service on Source's Board. The directors are also reimbursed for their reasonable expenses in connection with all meetings and relevant continuing education costs. Pursuant to the DSU Plan, in 2025 the Board chose not to do an annual grant as the Directors all chose to receive their annual retainers in DSUs. The timing and grant of DSUs granted to non-executive directors is determined by the Board, upon recommendation by the Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee. A summary of the DSU Plan is set out under the heading "Compensation Plan Information – Deferred Share Unit Plan". The table below shows director compensation in 2025.

Share Ownership Guidelines
The Company has adopted the following share ownership guidelines pursuant to which the Company's non-executive directors are required to own, directly or indirectly, such number of Common Shares or DSUs, as the case may be, with an aggregate value as follows:
| SHARE OWNERSHIP GUIDELINES | |
|---|---|
| Participant | Share Ownership Guidelines |
| Non-executive Directors | 3x previous years base retainer |
Common Shares or DSUs held for purposes of the non-executive director share ownership guidelines are valued at the higher of the value at the time of award or acquisition and the closing trading price of the Common Shares on the TSX (or if applicable, any other recognized exchange) on the last trading day of the financial year of Source.
Each director has five years from the later of the introduction of the share ownership guidelines and the date of their initial election or appointment as a director to achieve this minimum share ownership requirement.
DIRECTOR SHARE OWNERSHIP

|---|---|---|

The Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee has overall responsibility for the administration of our executive compensation program. The Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee's mandate has been reproduced in Appendix "B" of this Circular.
Risks of Compensation Policies and Practices
The Company's compensation program is designed to provide executive officers incentives for the achievement of near-term and long-term objectives, without motivating them to take unnecessary risk.
SOURCE ENERGY SERVICES LTD.
2026 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR
The Board provides regular oversight of the Company's risk management practices and may delegate to the Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee the responsibility to provide risk oversight of Source's compensation policies and practices, and to identify and mitigate compensation policies and practices that could encourage inappropriate or excessive risk taking by members of Management. As part of its review and discussion of executive compensation, the Board noted the following factors that will discourage the Company's executives from taking unnecessary or excessive risk:
- the Company's approach to performance evaluation and compensation will provide greater rewards to an officer achieving both short-term and long-term agreed-upon objectives;
- executive officers and directors will be required to hold a minimum amount of Common Shares under the Company's share ownership guidelines;
- Board discretion with respect to incentive awards and payouts in the event incentives are understated or overstated due to extraordinary circumstances or conditions;
- a commitment to periodic evaluation and testing by the Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee of variable compensation plan metrics;
- a formal hedging prohibition that limits the ability for executive officers to reduce their exposure to increases or decreases in the Company's Share price; and
- a formal clawback policy specifying the recoupment of incentive compensation applicable to the executive officers upon material financial restatements and misconduct.
Based on this review, the Board believes that the Company's total executive compensation program does not encourage executive officers to take unnecessary or excessive risk.
Share Ownership Guidelines
The Company has adopted the following share ownership guidelines pursuant to which Source's CEO, CFO, and any other employee specified by the Board, are required to hold, directly or indirectly, such number of Common Shares, PSUs, or RSUs, as the case may be, with an aggregate value as follows:
| EXECUTIVE OFFICER SHARE OWNERSHIP GUIDELINES | |
|---|---|
| Participant | Share Ownership Guidelines |
| CEO | 3x base salary |
| CFO | 1.5x base salary |
Common Shares, PSUs, and RSUs are valued at the higher of: (a) value at the time of award or acquisition; and (b) the current Market Price of the Common Shares. Each officer has five years from the later of the introduction of the executive share ownership guidelines and the date of their appointment as an officer to achieve this minimum share ownership requirement.
Executive Officer Share Ownership Table
| EXECUTIVE OFFICER SHARE OWNERSHIP | ||
|---|---|---|
| Name | Ownership Multiple of Salary | Progress Towards Guidelines |
| Scott Melbourn | >3x base salary | 100% compliant |
| Derren Newell | >1.5x base salary | 100% compliant |
Hedging Prohibition
The Company is of the view that its securities should be purchased by its directors, officers, and employees for investment purposes only. Pursuant to the Company's disclosure, trading and confidentiality policy, transactions that could be perceived as speculative or influenced by positive or negative perceptions of Source's prospects, including the use of puts, calls, collars, spread bets, contracts for difference and hedging transactions are not considered to be in Source's best interests and must be avoided. In particular, directors, officers and employees of Source are prohibited from engaging in hedging activities of any kind respecting Source's securities or related financial instruments including, without limitation, selling a call or buying a put on the Company's securities or purchasing the Company's
SOURCE ENERGY SERVICES LTD.
2026 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR
securities with the intention of reselling them within six months or selling the Company's securities with the intention of buying them within six months (other than the sale of Company securities shortly after they were acquired through the exercise of securities granted under a share-based compensation arrangement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the above-mentioned restrictions will not be applicable to any of the Company's securities held by a representative of the Company that are in excess of the required ownership thresholds under the Company's director share ownership guidelines or the Company's executive share ownership guidelines, as the case may be.
Clawback Policy
The Board adopted a clawback policy specifying the consequences with respect to incentive awards in the event of gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct resulting in a restatement of the Company's financial statements. The clawback policy provides that where there is a restatement of the financial results of Source for any reason other than a restatement caused by a change in applicable accounting rules or interpretations, and, in connection with such restatement an executive officer engaged in gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct, the Board or the Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee may: (a) require that the executive officer return or repay to Source, or reimburse Source for, all or part of the after-tax portion of any excess compensation; and/or (b) cause all or part of any awarded and unpaid or unexercised performance-based compensation (whether vested or unvested) that constitutes excess compensation for an executive officer to be cancelled.
In determining whether to require any cancellation, repayment or reimbursement under the clawback policy, the Board or the Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee shall have regard to, in its sole discretion and in light of the circumstances, Source's best interests. In making such determination, the Board may take into account any considerations it deems appropriate, including, without limitation: (a) the applicable governing law including the likelihood of success and the cost of pursuing recovery; (b) any prejudice to the interests of Source, including in any related proceeding or investigation; and (c) the participation of the executive officer in the circumstances relating to the financial restatement, including his or her involvement in any gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct.
For purposes of the clawback policy, "excess compensation" means the difference between the amount or value of any performance-based compensation actually paid or awarded to an executive officer subsequent to the effective date of the policy and the amount or value that would have been paid or awarded as calculated or determined based on the financial statements of Source as restated (and shall include an entire amount or value of an award or payment where it is determined that no award or payment would have been made based on the financial statements of Source as restated), and "performance-based compensation" includes all bonuses and other incentive compensation that is paid or awarded to any executive officer, the award, amount, payment and/or vesting of which was calculated or determined having regard to or based in whole or in part on the application of performance criteria or financial metrics measured during the three years preceding the applicable restatement and includes incentive compensation awarded or paid in any form, including cash or equity-based, whether vested or unvested.
Compensation Philosophy and Objectives
The Company's approach to executive compensation is to "pay for performance". Accordingly, base salary is generally positioned near market median levels, while variable compensation opportunity (short and long-term incentives) is structured to provide above-market total compensation for high levels of corporate and individual performance.
Compensation elements are designed to balance the following compensation objectives:
- total compensation realization will be aligned with the overall performance of the Company;
- compensation programs will encourage a long-term view to shareholder value creation as a significant portion of each executive's variable pay and executives will be required to have a significant personal financial interest in the Company; and
SOURCE ENERGY SERVICES LTD.
2026 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR
- compensation programs will facilitate the attraction, retention and motivation of qualified, experienced, and talented executives who will, in turn, drive shareholder value creation.
Compensation Consultant
Source did not engage with a compensation consultant in 2025.
Compensation Benchmarking
The Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee, as part of its compensation review process, benchmarks the compensation levels and practices of companies that can be considered reasonably similar to the Company. In selecting a peer group of companies and/or sectors to benchmark, the Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee considers characteristics and variables such as:
- Canadian-based, publicly-traded organizations operating in the oilfield services sector;
- organizations of similar size and with a similar scope of operations; and
- organizations from which future executives may reasonably be expected to be recruited from or to which the Company could reasonably expect to otherwise be in competition with, for senior level talent.
The compensation benchmark information derived from such sources will not necessarily be directly acted upon by the Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee but may be one of a number of factors the Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee considers from time to time in its review of executive compensation. In order to assist the Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee with its compensation benchmarking, a peer group of the following 10 energy services companies has been developed:
| PEER GROUP | ||
|---|---|---|
| Akita Drilling Ltd. | Ensign Energy Services Inc. | Trican Well Service Ltd. |
| Black Diamond Group Ltd. | Mullen Group Inc. | Western Energy Services Corp. |
| Calfrac Well Services Ltd. | Secure Waste Infrastructure Corp. | |
| CES Energy Solutions Corp. | Total Energy Services Inc. |
Compensation Components
The Company's executive compensation program consists primarily of the following elements:
| BASE SALARY | |
|---|---|
| Form of Compensation | Cash |
| Purpose | Forms a baseline level of compensation for role fulfillment commensurate with the experience, skills, and market demand for the executive role and/or incumbent. |
| Determination | Salaries are based on relevant marketplace information, experience, individual performance, and level of responsibility. Actual salary levels are set in relation to the Company's compensation philosophy and relative to the emphasis on other compensation program elements. The Company generally intends to pay salaries near market median levels and increase salaries commensurate with the growth and complexity of the Company and the position in question. |

| ANNUAL PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE | |
|---|---|
| Form of Compensation | Cash |
| Purpose | To recognize short-term (typically annual) efforts and milestone achievement that are aligned with the long-term success of the Company. |
| Determination | Annual performance incentive payments will be determined by the Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee based upon a discretionary assessment of individual, corporate and safety performance. Based on this discretionary assessment of performance, incentive payments can range from 0% to 150% of base salary for the CEO, with the target at 100%, and 0% to 120% of base salary for the remaining NEOs, with the target at 50% to 80%. For 2025, the Board used its discretion in determining annual performance incentive payouts. |
| MTIP | |
| --- | --- |
| Form of Compensation | Cash |
| Purpose | Designed to motivate the NEO's to grow cashflow generation so that excess Free Cash Flow^{(1)} can be used to reduce Source's long-term debt. |
| Determination | For the two year period, ending May 31, 2024, a determination of cumulative Free Cash Flow generated from the business including a provision to fund this program was calculated, starting from June 1, 2022. Upon achieving the cumulative Free Cash Flow^{(1)} target as determined by the Board of Directors on May 31, 2024, a payout was determined. The payout could range from 0% to 150% with a maximum payout of $1.6 million per participant. This program was not renewed once it was completed in 2024. |
Note:
(1) Free Cash Flow is not defined under IFRS, see “Non-IFRS Measures” below.
| LTIP | |
|---|---|
| Form of Compensation | Cash or Common Shares (issued from treasury or purchased on the secondary market) |
| Purpose | Designed to motivate executives and employees to create and grow sustainable shareholder total return over successive three-year performance cycles, through the use of RSUs and PSUs. |
| Determination | RSUs vest rateably over three years and may be subject to other performance restrictions, subject to the determination of the Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee. PSU awards are limited to the executive and senior-managerial levels in the Company. These units will vest subject to the achievement of various performance targets, including, but not limited to, relative “return on capital employed” targets and financial and/or operational performance targets. RSU and PSU accounts are credited with additional units in accordance with the LTIP in the event dividends on the Common Shares are paid by the Company. Previous grants of LTIP awards are reviewed when new grants are awarded, but that is only one of many factors taken into consideration when determining grants under the LTIP. |
| OPTION PLAN | |
|---|---|
| Form of Compensation | Common Shares (issued from treasury) |
| Purpose | Promotes a share ownership perspective among executives, encourages executive retention, encourages executives to generate sustained share price growth over the longer term (i.e. five years) and aligns Management's interests with shareholders' interests through participation in share price appreciation. |
| Determination | Grants of Options are typically made upon the commencement of an executive's employment with the Company based on the executive's experience, skill set and level of responsibility within the Company. Additional grants may be made annually at the discretion of the Board based on the individual's contribution to corporate performance, as well as the overall competitiveness of the executive compensation package. The Board determines the Exercise Price of Options at the time of grant, provided that the Exercise Price may not be lower than the Market Price. The Board also has the discretion to determine the term of Options, which is not to exceed five years, and vesting provisions, which are typically one-third on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date. |
Pension, Benefits and Perquisites
The Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee annually reviews the benefits provided to the NEOs, which are generally the same as those provided to other employees of the Company. The Company offers only limited perquisites to the NEOs, and only where the Company believes such perquisites are market competitive and promote the retention of the NEOs or promote the efficient performance of their duties. The Company does not believe that perquisites and benefits should represent a significant portion of the compensation package for NEOs. In 2025, each NEOs' perquisites and benefits totaled less than $36,500, representing less than 3.7% of total compensation for the NEOs.
Compensation Methodology
The Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee annually reviews the base salary, annual performance incentives, medium-term incentives, and long-term equity incentives of executive officers and NEOs. The Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee analyzes Source's compensation packages alongside the peer group of comparable energy services companies. Drawing on this analysis, the Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee then makes recommendations to the Board. The Board reviews and evaluates the recommendations regarding base salaries, annual bonuses, medium-term incentives, and equity incentive compensation for executive officers and NEOs and decides on the appropriate compensation package. In addition, the Board approves corporate goals and objectives for the executive officers' and NEOs' compensation.
Determination of Compensation
In making compensation recommendations, the Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee reviews the various elements of each executive officer and NEO's compensation in the context of the total compensation package. Based on this review, the Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee evaluates whether the intended relationship between performance and compensation is being achieved or whether changes are required in order to bring this relationship in line with Source's compensation objectives. The Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board exercise discretion based on the Company's performance and the individual contributions of each executive officer and NEO in determining actual compensation. In determining the total compensation payable to the executive officers and NEOs for 2025, the Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board considered a range of relevant factors, including but not limited to: Source's financial results, the current economic environment, the duties and responsibilities of each executive officer and NEO and their respective performance and current compensation levels, previous Share-based or option-based awards, as well as other factors discussed in this CD&A.

Notes:
(1) No Share-based awards were granted in 2025 or 2024, instead a one-time cash payment was made. Grant date fair value of the Share-based awards for the NEOs for 2023 is based on the five-day weighted average trading price of Common Shares on March 8, 2023, of $3.27. A five-day volume weighted average was used to value these units consistent with IFRS 2 on the grant date and the Company's practice of granting share-based awards.
(2) Reflects payments made by Source to each of the NEOs for health and insurance benefits, RRSP matching contributions and parking benefit and an automobile allowance. The NEOs receive minimal perquisites and other benefits. All perquisites represent less than 3.71% of the value reported.
(3) The aggregate compensation paid to the NEOs for the year ended December 31, 2025, was $3,939,308.
(4) Mr. Furlong was appointed President of Production on April 18, 2023.
(5) Mr. Melbourn receives no compensation in his capacity as a director.
(6) The MTIP which was implemented in 2022 to incent the NEOs to generate cash flow that could be used to pay down long term debt concluded in 2024 when the cumulative free cash flow target was achieved, and the participants were paid out. The program was not renewed.

COMPENSATION PLAN INFORMATION
The Company has three compensation plans, being: (i) the LTIP; and (ii) the DSU Plan of which, the LTIP (providing for the grant of RSUs and PSUs) is considered equity-based plans and the DSU Plan is a cash-settled plan.
The following is a summary of the Company's compensation plans.
Long Term Incentive Plan
The LTIP provides for grants of RSUs and PSUs (RSUs and PSUs, as applicable, referred to as a "Unit") to Eligible Persons (defined under the LTIP to be designated officers, employees, or consultants of the Company or any of its affiliates). The purpose of the LTIP is to advance the interests of the Company by: (i) providing Eligible Persons with appropriate incentives; (ii) encouraging stock ownership by such Eligible Persons; (iii) increasing the proprietary interest of Eligible Persons in the success of the Company; (iv) promoting the growth and profitability of the Company; (v) encouraging Eligible Persons to take into account long-term corporate performance; (vi) rewarding Eligible Persons for sustained contributions to the Company and/or significant performance achievements of the Company; and (vii) enhancing the Company's ability to attract, retain and motivate Eligible Persons.

2026 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR
The maximum number of Common Shares reserved for issuance, in the aggregate, under the LTIP and all other Share-based compensation arrangements is 10% of the aggregate number of outstanding Shares from time to time (calculated on a non-diluted basis). In addition: (a) the maximum number of Common Shares issuable to insiders and their associates at any time under all security-based compensation arrangements of the Company collectively shall not exceed 10% of the aggregate number of issued and outstanding Shares from time to time (calculated on a non-diluted basis); and (b) the maximum number of Common Shares that may be issued to insiders and their associates within any one year period under all security-based compensation arrangements of the Company collectively shall not exceed 10% of the aggregate number of issued and outstanding Shares from time to time (calculated on a non-diluted basis) (collectively, the "Insider Participation Limit").
The LTIP is administered by the Board which has authority to delegate the administration and operation of the LTIP to a committee and to determine the terms and conditions of any grant of RSUs and PSUs.
Under the LTIP:
- settlement of a vested Unit will entitle the holder to receive a Common Share, either issued from treasury or purchased on the secondary market, or an amount of cash equal to the Market Value of a Common Share on the vesting date;
- all vested Units shall be settled within sixty (60) days of the vesting date, but in no event shall any Unit be settled later than December 31 of the third calendar year following the year in which the services giving rise to the award were rendered;
- the vesting of RSUs and PSUs will be prescribed by the Board at the time of grant in the applicable grant agreement;
- if a Unit settlement date falls on, or within nine business days immediately following a period in which the Company is in a black-out, then the settlement date will be automatically extended to the tenth business day following the date the relevant black-out period or other trading restriction imposed by the Company is lifted, terminated or removed;
- except as otherwise provided by the LTIP, upon the occurrence of a change of control, all unvested Units then outstanding will be substituted by or replaced with Units or similar awards of the surviving corporation or the potential successor on the same terms and conditions as the original Units (as adjusted for the change of control), and the vesting of RSUs and PSUs held by a holder who ceases to be an Eligible Person under the LTIP within 12 months of a change of control, due to termination without cause or resignation for Good Reason (as defined in the LTIP), will (in the Board's discretion) be accelerated in full using performance metrics at the time of the change of control; and
- unvested RSUs and PSUs held by a holder who: (i) retires, or in the Board's discretion held by a holder who ceases to be an Eligible Person under the LTIP due to disability, continue to vest and vested RSUs and PSUs may be settled in accordance with the LTIP and the applicable grant agreement; (ii) ceases to be an eligible person under the LTIP due to resignation or termination of employment without cause, and otherwise in the case of a holder who ceases to be an eligible person under the LTIP due to disability, immediately terminate and vested RSUs and PSUs must be settled on the earlier of the original expiry date and 180 days; (iii) ceases to be an eligible person as a result of death, vest in respect of unvested RSUs and PSUs in the year of death on a prorated basis (and all remaining unvested RSUs and PSUs immediately terminate) and vested RSUs and PSUs must be settled on the earlier of the original expiry date and 180 days; and (iv) ceases to be an eligible person due to termination of employment for cause, terminate (along with vested RSUs and PSUs) on the last date the holder was actually and actively employed with the Company.
The LTIP includes provisions regarding adjustments to the amounts payable pursuant to Units to preclude dilution or enlargement of the benefits to participants in the event of any merger, amalgamation, arrangement, rights offering, subdivision, consolidation or reclassification of the Common Shares or other relevant change in the capitalization of the Company, or stock dividends or distributions (excluding dividends or distributions which may be paid in cash or in Common Shares at the option of the holder), or
SOURCE ENERGY SERVICES LTD.
2026 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR
the exchange of Common Shares for other securities or property. Under the LTIP, RSUs and PSUs may not be transferred or assigned, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
Subject to the applicable rules of the TSX, the Board may from time to time, in its absolute discretion and without the approval of the shareholders, make the following amendments to the LTIP or any Unit:
- any amendment to the vesting provisions of the LTIP and any grant agreement;
- any amendment to the LTIP, any grant agreement or any Unit as necessary to comply with applicable law or the requirements of the TSX or any other regulatory body having authority over the Company, the LTIP or the shareholders;
- any amendment of a "housekeeping" nature, including, without limitation, to clarify the meaning of an existing provision of the LTIP, correct or supplement any provision of the LTIP that is inconsistent with any other provision of the LTIP, correct any grammatical or typographical errors or amend the definitions in the LTIP regarding administration of the LTIP;
- any amendment respecting the administration of the LTIP; and
- any other amendment that does not require the approval of shareholders under the LTIP.

- any amendment to the Insider Participation Limit;
- an amendment to any of the amending provisions of the LTIP;
- any change that would materially modify the eligibility requirements for participation in the LTIP, including any amendment to the definition of Eligible Persons relating to the grant of Units to non-employee directors of the Company; and
- an amendment that would permit Units to be transferable or assignable.
The Board may suspend or terminate the LTIP at any time, or from time to time amend or revise the terms of the LTIP or of any Unit granted under the LTIP and any grant agreement relating thereto, provided that except as otherwise provided in the LTIP no such suspension, termination, amendment or revision will be made: (a) except in compliance with applicable law and with the prior approval, if required, of the TSX or any other regulatory body having authority over the Company, the LTIP or the shareholders; and (b) in the case of an amendment or revision to the LTIP or any grant agreement, if it would materially adversely affect the rights of any participant, without the consent of the participant.
Deferred Share Unit Plan
The DSU Plan allows for grants of DSUs to non-executive directors and other persons at the discretion of the Board of Directors. The DSU Plan shares the same purpose as the LTIP (see "Long Term Incentive Plan").
Under the DSU Plan, each non-executive director may elect, once each calendar year, to receive all or a portion of his or her annual Board retainer fee compensation in DSUs, including any fees paid to such non-executive director for attendance at meetings of the Board or Committees thereof. DSUs vest on the date the non-executive director ceases to be a director and are paid out in cash only at such time. Dividend equivalents are earned at the same rate as cash dividends paid on the Common Shares.
The DSU Plan is administered by the Board, which has authority to delegate the administration and operation of the DSU Plan to a committee and to determine the terms and conditions of any grant of DSUs. Under the DSU Plan:
- the number of DSUs granted at any particular time pursuant to the DSU Plan will be calculated by: (a) in the case of an election to receive all or a portion of the director's annual Board retainer
SOURCE ENERGY SERVICES LTD.
2026 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR
in DSUs, by dividing (i) the dollar amount of the elected amount by (ii) the Market Value of a Common Share on the applicable award date; or (b) in the case of a grant of DSUs pursuant to the DSU Plan, by dividing (i) the dollar amount of such grant by (ii) the Market Value of a Common Share on the date of grant;
- DSUs shall be redeemed within five business days following the filing of a notice of redemption or ninety days following a holder's death, as applicable;
- redemption of all full and fractional DSUs will entitle the holder to a lump sum cash payment, through the Company's regular payroll practices, equal to the number of DSUs (including fractional DSUs) to be redeemed, multiplied by the Market Value per Common Share determined as at such redemption date;
- DSUs vest on the day the holder ceases to be a participant for any reason including as a result of retirement, death, voluntary or involuntary termination, or disability unless otherwise determined by the Board in accordance with the DSU Plan; and
- except as otherwise provided by the DSU Plan, upon the occurrence of a change of control, all unvested DSUs then outstanding will be substituted by or replaced with DSUs or similar awards of the surviving corporation or the potential successor on the same terms and conditions as the original DSUs.
The DSU Plan also contains provisions which effect appropriate adjustments in the amounts payable, as the case may be, as determined as appropriate by the Board, to preclude a dilution or enlargement of the benefits under the DSU Plan, in the event of any merger, amalgamation, arrangement, rights offering, subdivision, consolidation, or reclassification of the Common Shares or other relevant change in the capitalization of the Company, or stock dividend or distribution (excluding dividends or distributions which may be paid in cash or in Common Shares at the option of the holder), or exchange of the Common Shares for other securities or property.
DSUs may not be transferred or assigned. The Board may suspend or terminate the DSU Plan at any time, or from time to time amend or revise the terms of the DSU Plan or of any DSU granted under the DSU Plan and any grant agreement relating thereto, provided that except as otherwise provided in the DSU Plan no such suspension, termination, amendment or revision will be made: (a) except in compliance with applicable law and with the prior approval, if required, of the TSX or any other regulatory body having authority over the Company, the DSU Plan or the shareholders; and (b) in the case of an amendment or revision to the DSU Plan or any grant agreement, if it would materially adversely affect the rights of any participant, without the consent of the participant.
Stock Option Plan
The Option Plan allows for grants of Options to officers, and employees of the Company. The Option Plan shares the same purpose as the LTIP (see "Long Term Incentive Plan"). Non-executive directors are not permitted to participate in the Option Plan.
The maximum number of Common Shares reserved for issuance, in the aggregate, under the Option Plan and all other security-based compensation arrangements of the Company (being the LTIP), is 10% of the aggregate number of outstanding Common Shares from time to time (calculated on a non-diluted basis) less any Units granted under the LTIP. The Option Plan also includes the Insider Participation Limit.
The Option Plan is administered by the Board, which has authority to delegate the administration and operation of the Option Plan to a committee and to determine the terms and conditions of any grant of Options. Under the Option Plan:
- an Option may be exercised at a price (the "Exercise Price") established by the Board at the time that the Option is granted, but in no event can the Exercise Price be less than the Market Price of the Common Shares at the time of the grant;
- unless otherwise determined by the Board and except as otherwise provided by the Option Plan, all Options will expire on the fifth anniversary of the date of grant, subject to earlier termination in the event the holder ceases to be an officer or employee of the Company or if the Board
SOURCE ENERGY SERVICES LTD.
2026 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR
determines, in its sole discretion, to accelerate the expiry time in connection with a “change of control” (as defined in the Option Plan);
- Options will vest as to one-third of the total grant on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date, or as otherwise set out by the Board in the applicable grant agreement;
- if an Option expiry date falls on, or within nine business days immediately following a period in which the Company is in a black-out, then the expiry date will be automatically extended to the tenth business day following the date the relevant black-out period or other trading restriction imposed by the Company is lifted, terminated or removed;
- in the event of a change of control, all unvested Options will be replaced with stock options or similar awards of the surviving corporation on the same terms and conditions as the original Options (as adjusted for the change of control), failing which, in the discretion of the Board, the vesting of Options will be accelerated and similarly accelerated in the discretion of the Board if within 12 months of a change of control a holder's employment is terminated without cause or the holder resigns for Good Reason (as defined in the Option Plan); and
- unvested Options held by a holder who: (i) retires, and in the Board's discretion held by a holder who ceases to be an eligible person under the Option Plan due to disability, continue to vest and vested Options may be exercised in accordance with the Option Plan and the applicable option agreement; (ii) ceases to be an eligible person under the Option Plan due to resignation or termination of employment without cause, and otherwise in the case of a holder who ceases to be an eligible person under the Option Plan due to disability, immediately terminate and vested Options may be exercised on the earlier of the original expiry date and 180 days following the termination date; (iii) ceases to be an eligible person as a result of death, vest in respect of unvested Options in the year of death on a prorated basis (and all remaining unvested Options immediately terminate) and vested Options may be exercised on the earlier of the original expiry date and 180 days following the termination date; and (iv) ceases to be an eligible person due to termination of employment for cause, terminate (along with vested Options) on the last date the holder was actually and actively employed with the Company.
The Option Plan also contains provisions which effect appropriate adjustments to the number and kind of shares or other securities to be received upon exercise of outstanding Options, or to the Exercise Price per Common Shares of outstanding Options, in the event of a subdivision, re-division, consolidation, reclassification of shares of the Company, in the event of any special distribution to all shareholders, in the event of any consolidation, amalgamation, merger with or into another corporation and in the event of any transfer of the entirety or substantially the entirety of the undertaking or assets of the Company to another corporation.
Options may not be transferred or assigned other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Subject to the applicable rules of the TSX, the Board may from time to time, in its absolute discretion and without the approval of the shareholders, make the following amendments to the Option Plan or any Option:
- any amendment to the vesting provisions of the Option Plan and any option agreement;
- any amendment to the Option Plan, and option agreement or any Option as necessary to comply with applicable law or the requirements of the TSX or any other regulatory body having authority over the Company, the Option Plan or the shareholders;
- any amendment to the Option Plan and any option agreement to permit the conditional exercise of any Option;
- any amendment of a "housekeeping" nature, including, without limitation, to clarify the meaning of an existing provision of the Option Plan, correct or supplement any provision of the Option Plan that is inconsistent with any other provision of the Option Plan, correct any grammatical or typographical errors or amend the definitions in the Option Plan regarding administration of the Option Plan;
- any amendment respecting the administration of the Option Plan; and
- any other amendment that does not require the approval of shareholders under the Option Plan.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES
The Company’s corporate governance practices are continually reviewed for current and future industry trends, issues, and best practices to ensure that effective compliance and loss prevention controls measures are implemented.
2025 Highlights:
- 99.07% average vote in favour of the election of our directors at the 2025 Meeting
- 75% Board independence, 100% Committee Chair independence
- Broad representation of executive experience
- 100% share ownership compliance
BOARD EFFECTIVENESS
The Board believes that given its size and structure, it is organized properly, functions effectively and is able to facilitate independent judgment in carrying out its responsibilities, including those set forth in the mandate of the Board. To enhance such independent judgement, while the Company's independent directors may not hold regularly scheduled meetings at which the non-independent directors and Management are not in attendance, at the end of, or during, each Board meeting, the members of Management who are present at such meeting, including Mr. Melbourn, will leave the meeting in order that the independent directors can discuss any necessary matters without Management and the non-independent directors being present.
BOARD MANDATE
The Board is responsible to supervise the management of the business and affairs of the Company. The stewardship of the Company involves the Board in strategic planning, risk identification, management and mitigation, senior management determination and succession planning, communication planning and internal control integrity with the objective of enhancing shareholder value.
The Mandate of the Board of Directors (reproduced in Appendix "C" of this Circular), which is reviewed at least annually, sets out the responsibilities of the Board of Directors.
Board Assessments
The Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for assessing the Board, its committees, and the individual directors. The Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee, with the participation of the Chair of the Board, may recommend changes to enhance Board performance based upon these communications and its review and assessment of the composition of the Board and current industry and regulatory standards.
Board Diversity
Source is committed to diversity and inclusion at all levels of its workforce and the Board's approach to the identification and nomination of candidates for election to the Board is in keeping with that commitment. The Board of Directors believes that a board made up of highly qualified individuals from diverse backgrounds who possess the required expertise and enhance the Board and the overall management of the business and affairs of Source will foster better corporate governance. Accordingly, the Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee will, when identifying candidates to recommend for election or appointment to the Board:
- consider only candidates who possess character, integrity, judgment, business experience, a record of achievement and other skills and talents;
- consider whether each new nominee can devote sufficient time and resources to his or her duties as a member of the Board; and
- consider diversity criteria including gender, age, ethnicity, and geographical background.
Consideration of Gender in Director Nominations and Executive Appointments
In recent years, Source has undergone a reorganization which saw the departure of three directors, and the retirement of our previous CEO, who was also a director. It is the current intention of the Board to focus on Source's business and will maintain its Board as it is for the time being.
SOURCE ENERGY SERVICES LTD.
2026 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR
The Company has adopted a written Diversity Policy. The objective of the Diversity Policy is to reflect the consideration of diversity when making merit-based selections of suitable candidates for election or reappointment to the Board and for employment with, or promotion within, the Company. Source considers diversity to encompass a wide variety of factors including age, gender, ethnicity, personal attributes, business and industry knowledge, skills and experience, educational background and life experience and therefore has not established specific targets regarding the representation of women on the Board or in senior leadership positions, including executive officer. The Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee will seek a diversity of candidates in recruiting, assessing, and selecting such candidates and believes in finding the most qualified individuals available with the skills and experience to provide strong stewardship, with gender being one of many factors taken into consideration when evaluating individuals.
The Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee reviews the Diversity Policy as part of overseeing the preparation of, and recommendation to, the Board of required disclosures of governance practices to be included in any disclosure document of the Company, as required.
Source's executive officer team consists of the CEO, and CFO, each having been with Source for at least 10 years. While Source has no plans to expand the executive management team at this time, the level of representation of women in executive officer positions when making executive officer appointments in the future would be a key consideration. At present, Source's senior management team comprises two presidents: the President of Distribution and the President of Production. Additionally, there are four vice presidents and one director, overseeing Sales & Marketing, Corporate Development, HSE & Sustainability, Capital Projects, and Finance. Notably, the Vice President of Finance and our Director of HSE & Sustainability are women, with females making up 28% of the senior management team.
As of December 31, 2025, 18% of Source's workforce are women: 14% in Canada; 4% in the United States. In 2019, Source created and adopted a Diversity Policy to promote and encourage an inclusive and diverse workplace, to:
- improve the quality of decision-making through the consideration of diverse perspectives and ideas;
- attract and retain the best employees;
- increase innovation.
The Diversity Policy serves to reinforce Source's commitment to being an equal opportunity employer, respecting an employee's gender, age, colour, ethnicity, Indigenous origin or heritage, religion, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, veteran status, physical attributes, education, language, culture and any other personal characteristics, in all aspects of employment including: selection, job assignment, compensation, discipline, termination and access to benefits and training. Source believes that diversity and inclusion contribute to a positive and efficient workforce, which benefits Source's employees, clients, and stakeholders.
Position Descriptions
The Board has approved written position descriptions or terms of reference for the Chair of the Board and the Chair of each of the Audit Committee, the Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee, and the Health, Safety and Environment Committee. The Board has also developed a written position description for the CEO.
Orientation and Continuing Education
The Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for the orientation and continuing education of the members of the Board. As new directors join the Board, they are provided with, among other things, corporate policies, Board and Committee mandates, historical information about Source, information about Source's operations, performance, and its strategic plan and an outline of the general duties and responsibilities entailed in carrying out their duties.
SOURCE ENERGY SERVICES LTD.
2026 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR
Source encourages directors to attend, enroll or participate in courses and/or seminars dealing with financial literacy, corporate governance, and related matters. Each director of Source has the responsibility for ensuring that he or she maintains the skill and knowledge necessary to meet his or her obligations as a director.
For directors joining the Source Board, Management provides an extensive orientation session that provides information on Source's assets, operations, and commercial arrangements. The orientation session involves a number of the Source management team and also provides directors with the opportunity to tour Source's facilities in Canada and the US.
RISK MANAGEMENT OVERSIGHT
Business Risks
Source employs risk management strategies and policies to ensure that any exposures to risk are in compliance with Source's business objectives and risk tolerance levels. The Board has the responsibility to identify, understand and monitor the principal risks affecting the business in which the Company is engaged, to achieve a proper balance between risks incurred and the potential return to shareholders, and to establish systems to monitor and manage those risks with a view to the long-term viability of the Company. It is the responsibility of management to ensure that the Board and its Committees are kept well informed of changing risks. The Board functions include annually evaluating the Company's risk management culture, overseeing the Company's risk-taking activities and risk management programs, and establishing mitigation strategies. The Board is responsible for ensuring that the Company's business strategies and allocations of capital are in line with the Company's risk appetite and tolerance and must ensure that the Company has effective risk management programs and practices. The principal mechanisms through which the Board reviews risks are through the execution of the duties of the Audit Committee, the Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee, and the Health, Safety and Environment Committee, to ensure that risks are being properly measured, monitored, and reported throughout the Company and through the strategic planning process.
Ethical Business Conduct
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
The Board encourages and promotes an overall culture of ethical business conduct by promoting compliance with applicable laws, rules, and regulations, providing guidance to Management to help them recognize and deal with ethical issues, promoting a culture of open communication, honesty and accountability and ensuring awareness of disciplinary action for violations of ethical business conduct. In connection with its commitment to ensuring the ethical operation of Source, the Board has adopted a code of business conduct and ethics, a copy of which is available on our website at:
https://www.sourceenergyservices.com/investors/governance#policies
A copy can also be found under the Company's profile at SEDAR+ - Landing Page (sedarplus.ca).
Any reports of variance from the code of business conduct and ethics are to be reported to the Board.
The Board monitors compliance with the code of business conduct and ethics through reports by Management to the Board and requires that all directors, officers, and designated employees provide an annual certification of compliance with the code. A director who has a material interest in a matter before the Board or any Committee on which he or she serves is required to disclose such interest as soon as the director becomes aware of it. In situations where a director has a material interest in a matter to be considered by the Board or any Committee on which he or she serves, such director may be required to absent himself or herself from the meeting while discussions and voting with respect to the matter are taking place. Directors will also be required to comply with the relevant provisions of the ABCA regarding conflicts of interest.

Whistleblower Policy
The integrity, transparency, and accountability of the financial, administrative and management practices of Source is critical. This information guides the decisions of the Board and is relied upon by stakeholders of Source. For these reasons, it is critical for Source to maintain a workplace where concerns regarding questionable business practices can be raised without fear of any discrimination, retaliation, or harassment. Accordingly, the Board has adopted a whistleblower policy which provides employees, clients, and contractors with the ability to report, on a confidential and anonymous basis, any violation within Source including (but not limited to), criminal conduct, falsification of financial records or unethical conduct. The Board believes that providing a forum for employees, clients, contractors, officers, and directors to raise concerns about ethical conduct and treating all complaints with the appropriate level of seriousness fosters a culture of ethical conduct. A copy of our whistleblower policy is available on our website:
https://www.sourceenergyservices.com/investors/governance#policies.
Shareholder Engagement Policy
Source's Board believes in the importance of engaging in constructive communication with Source's shareholders. Constructive engagement with shareholders can provide valuable insight that will assist the Board in maintaining the high standards of governance to which the Board is committed. The Board has adopted a Shareholder Engagement Policy to promote open and sustained dialogue with Source's shareholders. Management is principally responsible for shareholder communications and engagement. In addition, the Board wishes to ensure there is the opportunity for direct dialogue between directors and shareholders. Shareholders are encouraged to initiate communications directly with the Board. A copy of our Shareholder Engagement Policy is available on our website:
https://www.sourceenergyservices.com/investors/governance#policies.
Anti-Corruption Policy
Source is committed to conducting the business of the Company ethically and legally. Source strongly believes that the Company has a responsibility to take an active stand against bribery and corruption. The Board has adopted an Anti-Corruption Policy to maintain our corporate reputation and protect the interests of our securityholders, employees, customers, suppliers, business partners, stakeholders, and the communities we serve. The purpose of the Anti-Corruption Policy is to affirm Source's compliance with applicable domestic and foreign anti-corruption legislation where it conducts business, and its commitment to such compliance, by establishing rules and providing guidance for conducting business in accordance with such legislation. A copy of our Anti-Corruption Policy is available on our website:
https://www.sourceenergyservices.com/investors/governance#policies.
Political Contributions and Lobbying
Source does not align itself with any political party nor does it make contributions to political parties or candidates for political office. Further, Source does not directly engage in any political lobbying. Source is, however, a member of certain industry associations that have, in the past, been sporadically active in lobbying.
ENVIRONMENT, SOCIAL, AND GOVERNANCE
A strong corporate governance framework is critical for executing our strategy. The stewardship of Source involves the Board in strategic planning, risk identification, management and mitigation, senior management determination and succession planning, communication planning and internal control integrity with the objective of enhancing shareholder value.
The principal mechanisms through which the Board reviews ESG performance are through the execution of the duties of the Board's sub-committees, which are to ensure that risks are being properly measured, monitored, and reported throughout the Company and through the strategic planning process:

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
NON-IFRS MEASURES
This Circular refers to certain financial measures that are not determined in accordance with IFRS. These financial measures do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS and Source's method of calculating these measures may differ from the method used by other entities and, accordingly, they may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. These financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (loss), cash flows from operating activities, gross margin and other measures of financial performance as determined in accordance with IFRS.
Source believes that the non-IFRS measure of Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure to management and investors to provide relative performance and measure changes in respect of Source's financial performance in the context of earnings generated to fund capital investments and meet financial obligations. Adjusted Gross Margin is useful to management and investors in measuring pricing and operating cost performance relative to other publicly listed competitors throughout North America. Adjusted EBITDA per MT and Adjusted Gross Margin per MT are calculated by taking the non-IFRS measures and dividing by sand volumes for the periods stated.
Free Cash Flow is a useful measure to management and investors as it reflects the Company's ability to generate cash flows that can be used to pay down long-term debt or provide other forms of returns to investors. The movement in cash flows from operating activities is often included in the calculation of Free Cash Flow; however, changes in working capital can have significant fluctuations due to the seasonality of Source's operations. Management believes use of Adjusted EBITDA in the calculation is more representative of the funds generated to pay down debt and other returns to investors.
Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings generated to fund capital investments and meet financial obligations. It represents, for the period presented, net income (loss) plus income taxes, interest expense, cost of sales - depreciation, depreciation, amortization, impairment expense (reversal) and loss (gain) on debt modification and extinguishment; and is adjusted to add back or deduct, as applicable, the following expense charges or benefits incurred in such period which, in management's view, are not indicative of the underlying business performance: finance expense excluding interest expense, loss (gain) on asset disposal, transaction and related professional fees, unrealized loss (gain) on derivative instruments and foreign exchange, gain on settlement of deferred revenue, share-based compensation, loss (gain) on sublease and other expense (recovery) as it relates to the incident at the Fox Creek terminal facility, one-time retirement payments and asset repairs which will be fully recovered through insurance proceeds. The reconciliation to the most comparable IFRS measure, net income (loss), can be found in the table below.
Adjusted Gross Margin represents a margin more comparable to other publicly listed competitors throughout North America. It represents, for the period presented, gross margin plus cost of sales - depreciation. The reconciliation to the most comparable IFRS measure, gross margin, can be found in the table below.
Free Cash Flow represents, for the period presented, Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted for financing expense paid, capital expenditures (net of proceeds on disposal of property, plant and equipment and reimbursement of capital costs and excludes expenditures for the Taylor facility which are funded through a project finance facility), payments for lease obligations, cash income taxes paid or recovered for the

current taxation year and various non-cash operating activities. Free Cash Flow is considered a key non-IFRS measure as it reflects Source's ability to generate cash flows that can be used to pay down long-term debt or provide other forms of returns to investors. The reconciliation to the most comparable IFRS measure, net income, can be found in the table below.
This Circular makes reference to these non-IFRS measures. These non-IFRS measures and other financial estimates of management are based upon variable components. There can be no assurance that these components and future calculations of non-IFRS measures will not vary. Investors are cautioned not to consider these non-IFRS measures in isolation or place undue reliance on ratios or percentages calculated using these non-IFRS measures.

A majority of the Directors shall be "independent" for the purposes of National Policy 58-201 – Corporate Governance Guidelines ("NP 58-201").
The Board shall appoint a chair (the "Chair") from among its members. The role of the Chair is to act as the leader of the Board, to manage and coordinate the activities of the Board and to oversee execution by the Board of this Mandate.

The Board may, from time to time, engage consultants or members of the Company's management team that are not directors of the Company and these persons may attend meetings or portions of meetings as invited guests of the Board. Otherwise, the Board will consist only of Directors and only Directors and a Corporate Secretary, appointed by the Board, may attend meetings of the Board.
Section 2 Operation
The Board operates by delegating certain of its authorities to management and by reserving certain powers to itself. The Board retains the responsibility of managing its own affairs including selecting its Chair, nominating candidates for election to the Board, constituting committees of the full Board and determining Director compensation. Subject to the Company's constating documents and Applicable Laws, the Board may constitute, seek the advice of and delegate powers, duties and responsibilities to committees of the Board.
The full Board considers all major decisions of the Company, except that certain analyses and work of the Board will be performed by standing committees empowered to act on behalf of the Board. The Company has a number of standing committees, including the Audit Committee, the Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee and the Health, Safety and Environment Committee, and has the authority to appoint other committees to steward certain other matters. Each standing committee must have a mandate that has been approved by the Board.
Each committee shall operate according to the mandate approved by the Board and outlining its duties and responsibilities and the limits of authority delegated to it by the Board. The Board shall review and reassess the adequacy of the mandate of each committee on a regular basis and, with respect to the Audit Committee, at least once a year.
The Chair shall annually propose the leadership and membership of each committee. In preparing recommendations, the Chair will take into account the preferences, skills and experience of each Director. Committee chairs and members are appointed by the Board at the first Board meeting after the annual shareholder meeting or as needed to fill vacancies during the year.
The Board will hold four regularly scheduled meetings each year. The independent members of the Board shall also meet before or after its regularly scheduled meetings without members of management or non-independent Directors present. Special meetings will be called as necessary. Directors are expected to attend all Board meetings and all Board committee meetings where such Director is a member of such committee, although it is understood that conflicts may occasionally arise that prevent a Director from attending a meeting. Attendance at Board meetings and Board committee meetings in person is preferred, but attendance by teleconference or other electronic communication established by the Board or such Board committee is permitted. In advance of each regular Board and committee meeting and, to the extent feasible each special meeting, information and presentation materials relating to matters to be addressed at the meeting will be distributed to each Director. It is expected that each Director will review presentation materials in advance of a meeting.
