Ovintiv Receives Approval to Renew Share Buyback Program

Ovintiv has received regulatory approvals for the renewal of its share buy-back program.

For 2026, Ovintiv has committed to returning at least 60% of annual Non-GAAP Free Cash Flow to shareholders. The Toronto Stock Exchange has accepted Ovintiv's notice of intention to renew its normal course issuer bid to purchase up to 26,973,037 common shares during the 12-month period commencing October 5, and ending October 4, 2027. The number of shares authorized for purchase represents 10 percent of Ovintiv's public float as of September 21, 2026, as calculated pursuant to TSX rules. Purchases will be made on the open market through the facilities of the TSX, New York Stock Exchange, other designated exchanges and/or alternative trading systems in Canada and the United States at the market price at the time of acquisition, as well as by other means permitted by stock exchange rules and securities laws including Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Ovintiv has also renewed its automatic share purchase plan allowing it to purchase common shares under the NCIB when Ovintiv would ordinarily not be permitted to purchase shares due to regulatory restrictions and customary self-imposed blackout periods. Pursuant to the ASPP, Ovintiv will provide instructions during non-blackout periods to its designated broker, which may not be varied or suspended during the blackout period. Purchases by Ovintiv's designated broker will be in accordance with applicable stock exchange rules and securities laws and the terms of the ASPP. All purchases made under the ASPP are included in computing the number of common shares purchased under the NCIB. The ASPP has been pre-cleared as required by the TSX.
