Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since those dates.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our common shares involves risks. Before you decide to invest in our common shares, you should carefully consider all risks described in the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus, including subsequent documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus. Discussions of certain risks and uncertainties affecting us are provided under the heading “Risk Factors” beginning on page 31 of our Annual Information Form for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, filed as Exhibit 99.1 to our Annual Report on Form 40-F for the year ended December 31, 2024, which was filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 25, 2025, as updated from time to time by our filings under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and other information contained in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus from time to time.

WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION

We have filed under the Securities Act a registration statement on Form S-8 relating to the common shares. This prospectus forms a part of the registration statement. This prospectus does not contain all of the information included in the registration statement, certain portions of which have been omitted as permitted by the rules and regulations of the SEC. For further information about us and our common shares you are encouraged to refer to the registration statement and the exhibits that are incorporated by reference into it.

We are subject to the information and periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, applicable to “foreign private issuers” (as such term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) and we fulfill our obligations with respect to those requirements by filing or furnishing reports with the SEC. The SEC maintains an internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information regarding our company and other issuers that file electronically with the SEC. The address of the SEC internet site is www.sec.gov/edgar. This information is also available on our website at www.obsidianenergy.com. The information on our website is not incorporated by reference into the registration statement and should not be considered a part of the registration statement or this prospectus.

We are a foreign private issuer, and therefore are exempt from the rules under the Exchange Act related to the furnishing and content of proxy statements, and our group’s officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act relating to their purchases and sales of our group’s securities. In addition, we are not required under the Exchange Act to file annual, quarterly and current reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as U.S. companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act.

Also, we may incorporate by reference future reports on Form 6-K that we furnish subsequent to the date of this prospectus by stating in those Form 6-K’s that they are being incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

Any statement contained in a document incorporated by reference into this prospectus shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this prospectus to the extent that a statement contained in this prospectus, in one of those other documents or in any other later filed document that is also incorporated by reference into this prospectus modifies or supersedes that statement. Any such statement so modified shall not be deemed, except as so modified, to constitute a part of this prospectus. Any such statement so superseded shall be deemed not to constitute a part of this prospectus.

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

We are a corporation organized under the laws of Alberta, Canada and our principal offices are located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The enforcement by investors of civil liabilities under the United States federal or state securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact that we have been organized under the laws of Alberta, Canada, that most of our officers and directors are residents of Canada, that some or all of the experts named in this prospectus are residents of Canada, and that all or a substantial portion of their assets and our assets are located outside of the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for United States investors to effect service of process within the United States upon us and upon those directors, officers or experts who are not residents of the United States, or to realize in the United States upon judgments of courts of the United States, predicated upon civil liability of such persons under United States federal or state securities laws. There is doubt as to the enforceability in Canada against us or against our directors, officers or experts who are not residents of the United States, in original actions or in actions for enforcement of judgments of United States courts of liabilities based solely upon the United States federal or state securities laws. We have appointed Puglisi & Associates, 850 Library Ave, Suite 204, Newark, Delaware 19711, as our agent in the United States upon which service of process against us may be made in any action based on this prospectus.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein include forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events or our future performance. All statements other than statements of historical fact may be forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as “anticipate”, “continue”, “estimate”, “expect”, “forecast”, “budget”, “may”, “will”, “project”, “could”, “plan”, “intend”, “should”, “believe”, “outlook”, “objective”, “aim”, “potential”, “target” and similar words suggesting future events or future performance. In addition, statements relating to “reserves” or “resources” are deemed to be forward-looking statements as they involve the implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, that the reserves and resources described exist in the quantities predicted or estimated and can be profitably produced in the future.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and the assumptions on which such forward-looking statements are made, are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, as there can be no assurance that the plans, intentions or expectations upon which the forward-looking statements are based will occur. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve numerous assumptions, known and unknown risks and uncertainties that contribute to the possibility that the predictions, forecasts, projections and other forward-looking statements contained or incorporated by reference herein will not be correct, which may cause our actual performance and financial results in future periods to differ materially from any estimates or projections of future performance or results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, among other things:

•

the risk that (i) the tariffs that are currently in effect on goods exported from or imported into Canada continue in effect for an extended period of time, the tariffs that have been threatened are implemented, that tariffs that are currently suspended are reactivated, the rate or scope of tariffs are increased, or new tariffs are imposed, including on oil and natural gas, (ii) the U.S. and/or Canada imposes any other form of tax, restriction or prohibition on the import or export of products from one country to the other, including on oil and natural gas, and (iii) the tariffs imposed or threatened to be imposed by the U.S. on other countries and retaliatory tariffs imposed or threatened to be imposed by other countries on the U.S., will trigger a broader global trade war which could have a material adverse effect on the Canadian, U.S. and global economies, and by extension the Canadian oil and natural gas industry and the Company, including by decreasing demand for (and the price of) oil and natural gas, disrupting supply chains, increasing costs, causing volatility in global financial markets, and limiting access to financing;

•

the possibility that we change our budgets (including our capital expenditure budgets) in response to internal and external factors, including those described herein;

•

the possibility that the Company will not be able to continue to successfully execute our business plans and strategies in part or in full, and the possibility that some or all of the benefits that the Company anticipates will accrue to our Company and our stakeholders as a result of the successful execution of such plans and strategies do not materialize (such as our inability to return capital to shareholders and/or reduce debt levels to the extent anticipated or at all);

•

the possibility that the Company ceases to qualify for, or does not qualify for, one or more existing or new government assistance programs, that the impact of such programs falls below our expectations, that the benefits under one or more of such programs is decreased, or that one or more of such programs is discontinued;

•

the impact on energy demand and commodity prices of regional and/or global health related events and the responses of governments and the public thereto, including the risk that the amount of energy demand destruction and/or the length of the decreased demand exceeds our expectations;

•

the risk that there is another significant decrease in the valuation of oil and natural gas companies and their securities and in confidence in the oil and natural gas industry generally, whether caused by regional and/or global health related events, the worldwide transition towards less reliance on fossil fuels and/or other factors;

•

the risk that the financial capacity of the Company’s contractual counterparties is adversely affected and potentially their ability to perform their contractual obligations;

•

the possibility that the revolving period and/or term out period of our credit facility and the maturity date of our senior unsecured notes is not extended (if necessary), that the borrowing base under our credit facility is reduced, that the Company is unable to renew or refinance our credit facilities on acceptable terms or at all and/or finance the repayment of our senior unsecured notes when they mature on acceptable terms or at all and/or obtain new debt and/or equity financing to replace our credit facilities and/or senior unsecured notes or to fund other activities;

•

the possibility that we are unable to complete one or more repurchase offers pursuant to our senior unsecured notes when otherwise required to do so;

•

the possibility that we are forced to shut-in production, whether due to commodity prices decreasing, extreme weather events such as wild fires, inability to access our properties due to blockades or other activism, or other factors;

•

the risk that OPEC and other nations fail to agree on and/or adhere to production quotas from time to time that are sufficient to balance supply and demand fundamentals for oil;

•

general economic and political conditions in Canada, the U.S. and globally, and in particular, the effect that those conditions have on commodity prices and our access to capital;

•

industry conditions, including fluctuations in the price of oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas, price differentials for oil and natural gas produced in Canada as compared to other markets, and transportation restrictions, including pipeline and railway capacity constraints;

•

fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, including the impact of the Canadian/U.S. dollar exchange rate on our revenues and expenses;

•

fluctuations in interest rates, including the effects of interest rates on our borrowing costs and on economic activity, and including the risk that elevated interest rates cause or contribute to the onset of a recession;

•

the risk that our costs increase due to inflation, supply chain disruptions, scarcity of labour and/or other factors, adversely affecting our profitability;

•

unanticipated operating events or environmental events that can reduce production or cause production to be shut-in or delayed (including extreme cold during winter months, wild fires, flooding and droughts (which could limit our access to the water we require for our operations));

•

the risk that wars and other armed conflicts adversely affect world economies and the demand for oil and natural gas, including the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine and/or hostilities in the Middle East;

•

the possibility that fuel conservation measures, alternative fuel requirements, increasing consumer demand for alternatives to hydrocarbons, government mandates requiring the sale of electric vehicles and/or electrification of the power grid, and technological advances in fuel economy and renewable energy generation systems could permanently reduce the demand for oil and natural gas and/or permanently impair the Company’s ability to obtain financing and/or insurance on acceptable terms or at all, and the possibility that some or all of these risks are heightened as a result of the response of governments, financial institutions and consumers to a regional and/or global health related event and/or the influence of public opinion and/or special interest groups; and

•

the other factors described under “Risk Factors” in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein and in our public filings available in the United States at www.sec.gov/edgar.

Readers are cautioned that this list of risk factors should not be construed as exhaustive.

The forward-looking statements contained and incorporated by reference in this prospectus speak only as of the date of this prospectus or the document incorporated by reference, as applicable. Except as expressly required by applicable securities laws, we do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The forward-looking statements contained and incorporated by reference in this prospectus are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.

Total Capitalization	$	2,313.6

SELLING SECURITYHOLDER

This prospectus relates to the possible resale by the selling securityholder of up to 1,304,806 common shares.

The selling securityholder may offer and sell, from time to time, any or all of the common shares being offered for resale pursuant to this prospectus. In this prospectus, the term “selling securityholder” includes (i) the person identified in the table below (as such table may be amended from time to time by means of an amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part or by a supplement to this prospectus) and (ii) any donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest that acquire any of the securities covered by this prospectus after the date of this prospectus from the named selling securityholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other non-sale related transfer.

The table below sets forth, as of the date of this prospectus, the name of the selling securityholder for which we are registering common shares for resale to the public, and the aggregate number of common shares that the selling securityholder may offer pursuant to this prospectus. In accordance with SEC rules, individuals and entities below are shown as having beneficial ownership over shares they own or have the right to acquire within 60 days, as well as shares for which they have the right to vote or dispose of such shares. Also, in accordance with SEC rules, for purposes of calculating percentages of beneficial ownership, shares which a person has the right to acquire within 60 days of September 30, 2025 are included both in that person’s beneficial ownership as well as in the total number of shares issued and outstanding used to calculate that person’s percentage ownership but not for purposes of calculating the percentage for other persons. In some cases, the same common shares are reflected more than once in the table below because more than one holder may be deemed the beneficial owner of the same common shares. We have based percentage ownership on 66,988,168 common shares outstanding as of the date of this prospectus.

Because the selling securityholder may dispose of all, none or some portion of their securities, no estimate can be given as to the number of securities that will be beneficially owned by the selling securityholder upon termination of this offering. For purposes of the table below, however, we have assumed that after termination of this offering none of the securities covered by this prospectus will be disposed of by the selling securityholder and further assumed that the selling securityholder will not acquire beneficial ownership of any additional securities during the offering. In addition, the selling securityholder may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, or may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, at any time and from time to time, our securities in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act after the date on which the information in the table is presented. Please see the section titled “Plan of Distribution” for further information regarding the selling securityholder’s method of distributing these securities.

Unless otherwise indicated, the business address of the beneficial owner listed in the table below is c/o Obsidian Energy Ltd. Suite 200, 207 - 9th Avenue S.W., Calgary, Alberta, Canada T2P 1K3.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The selling securityholder may, from time to time, in one or more transactions, sell any or all of their common shares on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which our common shares are traded or in negotiated transactions. These sales may be at fixed prices or prices that may be changed or at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices, including sales made directly on the Toronto Stock Exchange, NYSE American or other existing trading markets for our common shares. The prices at which the common shares may be offered may vary as between purchasers and during the period of distribution. The selling securityholder will act independently of our company in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. The selling securityholder may sell the common shares to or through underwriters or dealers, and also may sell common shares to one or more other purchasers directly or through agents, including sales pursuant to ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which a broker-dealer solicits purchasers, or pursuant to delayed delivery contracts, by remarketing firms or by other means.

In effecting sales, brokers or dealers engaged by the selling securityholder may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. Broker-dealer transactions may include purchases of common shares by a broker-dealer as principal and resales of common shares by the broker-dealer for its account pursuant to an applicable prospectus supplement, ordinary brokerage transactions or transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers. Such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling securityholder and/or the purchasers of the securities offered hereby for whom such broker-dealers may act as agents or to whom they sell as principal, or both (which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions). Any broker-dealers participating in the distribution of the common shares covered by an applicable prospectus supplement may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commissions received by any of those broker-dealers may be deemed to be underwriting commissions under the Securities Act.

The selling securityholder may sell common shares other than pursuant to this prospectus or an applicable prospectus supplement under available exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The selling securityholder may sell none, some or all of the common shares. We cannot predict when or in what amounts the selling securityholder may sell any of its common shares.

If necessary, we will prepare a prospectus supplement in connection with the offer and sale of common shares by the selling securityholder.

The aggregate proceeds to the selling securityholder from the sale of the common shares offered by it will be the purchase price of the common shares less expenses and discounts or commissions, if any. The selling securityholder may reserve the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of common shares to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the common shares by the selling securityholder. We will bear all costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the common shares to be sold by the selling securityholder, other than brokerage commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, attributable to the sale of securities offered under this prospectus, which will be borne by the selling securityholder.

Underwriters, dealers and agents who participate in the offer and sale of the common shares may be entitled, under agreements to be entered into with the selling securityholder, to indemnification by the selling securityholder against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and Canadian securities legislation, or to contribution with respect to payments which such underwriters, dealers or agents may be required to make in respect thereof. Such underwriters, dealers and agents may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for us in the ordinary course of business.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED

Our common shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol “OBE” and on the NYSE American under the symbol “OBE”.

We are authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares without nominal or par value and 90,000,000 preferred shares without nominal or par value.

A description of the common shares is set forth under the headings “Capitalization of Obsidian Energy” and “Dividends and Dividend Policy” in our Annual Information Form for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, filed as Exhibit 99.1 to our Annual Report on Form 40-F for the year ended December 31, 2024, all of which description is incorporated herein by reference as part of our Annual Report on Form 40-F for the year ended December 31, 2024. The foregoing description is only a summary of certain terms and conditions of the common shares and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our Articles of Amalgamation and By-Laws, each of which has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

DESCRIPTION OF ARTICLES AND BY-LAWS

Conflict of Interest

Our By-Laws provide that a director or officer of our company who is a party to a material contract or material transaction or proposed material contract or proposed material transaction with our company, or is a director or an officer or has a material interest in any person who is a party to a material contract or proposed material contract or material transaction or proposed material transaction with our company, must disclose the nature and extent of his or her interest at the time and in the manner provided in the ABCA. Except as provided in the ABCA, no such director may vote on any resolution to approve such contract or transaction. If a material contract or material transaction is made between us and one or more of our directors or officers, or between us and another person of which a director or officer of our company is a director or officer or in which he or she has a material interest: (i) the contract or transaction is neither void nor voidable by reason only of that relationship, or by reason only that a director with an interest in the contract or transaction is present at or is counted to determine the presence of a quorum at a meeting of directors or committee of directors that authorized the contract or transaction; and (ii) a director or officer or former director or officer of our company to whom a profit accrues as a result of the making of the contract is not liable to account to us for that profit by reason only of holding office as a director or officer, if the director or officer disclosed his or her interest in accordance with the provisions of the ABCA and the contract was approved by our directors or our shareholders and it was reasonable and fair to us at the time it was approved.

Even if the above conditions are not met, our By-Laws provide that a director or officer acting honestly and in good faith will not be accountable to us or to our shareholders for any profit realized from a material contract or material transaction for which disclosure is required by the ABCA, and any such contract or transaction will not be void or voidable by reason only of the director or officer’s interest therein, provided that the material contract or material transaction was approved or confirmed by special resolution at a meeting of our shareholders, disclosure of the interest was made to our shareholders in a manner sufficient to indicate its nature before the contract or transaction was approved or confirmed, and the contract or transaction was reasonable and fair to us at the time it was approved or confirmed.

Remuneration of Directors, Officers and Employees

Our By-Laws provide that subject to our Articles of Amalgamation, our directors may fix the remuneration of our directors, officers and employees. Any remuneration paid to a director of our company will be in addition to the salary paid to the director in his or her capacity as an officer or employee of our company. Our directors may also by resolution award special remuneration to any director in undertaking any special services on our behalf. Our directors, officers and employees are also entitled to be paid their traveling and other expenses properly incurred by them in connection with the affairs of our company.

Our By-Laws further provide that subject to our Articles of Amalgamation, a majority of the number of our directors constitutes a quorum at any meeting of directors and, notwithstanding any vacancy among the directors, and subject to the ABCA, a quorum of directors may exercise all the powers of the directors. None of our Articles of Amalgamation, By-Laws or the ABCA contain any explicit restrictions on our directors’ ability to fix the remuneration of directors in the absence of an independent quorum of directors. However, our directors are subject to the conflict of interest rules described above under “Conflict of Interest”, our directors fix the remuneration of directors in accordance with policies adopted by our directors from time to time, and our directors are subject to statutory and common law fiduciary duties at all times. Questions arising at any meeting of our directors are decided by a majority of votes. In the case of an equality of votes, the chair of the meeting does not have a second or casting vote.

Borrowing Powers of Directors

Our Articles of Amalgamation provide that our directors may, without authorization of our shareholders:

(i)

borrow money on the credit of our company;

(ii)

issue, reissue, sell or pledge debt obligations of our company;

(iii)

subject to the ABCA, give a guarantee on behalf of our company to secure performance of an obligation of any person; and

(iv)

mortgage, hypothecate, pledge or otherwise create a security interest in all or any property of our company, owned or subsequently acquired, to secure any obligation of our company.

The ABCA provides that our directors will have these powers unless our Articles of Amalgamation or By-Laws provide otherwise. Any amendment to our Articles of Amalgamation or By-Laws would need to be approved by the holders of our common shares in accordance with the requirements of the ABCA. The ABCA also provides that unless our Articles of Amalgamation or By-Laws provide otherwise, our directors may, by resolution, delegate the powers referred to above to a director of our company, to a committee of our directors, or to an officer of our company.

Voting Rights

Our Articles of Amalgamation provide that the holders of our common shares are entitled to notice of, to attend and to one vote per share held at any meeting of our shareholders (other than meetings of a class or series of shares other than the common shares as such). Our directors do not stand for re-election at staggered intervals.

The holders of our common shares are entitled to receive dividends as and when declared by our Board of Directors on the common shares as a class, subject to prior satisfaction of all preferential rights to dividends attached to shares of other classes of our shares ranking in priority to the common shares in respect of dividends. Pursuant to our By-Laws, any dividend unclaimed after a period ending on the last business day prior to the third anniversary of the date on which the dividend has been declared to be payable will be forfeited and will revert to us and will be deemed to have been transferred to us on that date.

Our Articles of Amalgamation further provide that the holders of our common shares are entitled in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of our company, whether voluntary or involuntary, or any other distribution of our assets among our shareholders for the purpose of winding-up our affairs, and subject to prior satisfaction of all preferential rights to return of capital on dissolution attached to all shares of other classes of our shares ranking in priority to the common shares in respect of return of capital on dissolution, to share rateably, together with the holders of shares of any other class of our shares ranking equally with our common shares in respect of return of capital on dissolution, in such of our assets as are available for distribution.

Changes to Shareholder Rights

In accordance with the ABCA, the rights of holders of our common shares may be changed by amending our Articles of Amalgamation or, to the extent applicable, our By-Laws. An amendment to our Articles of Amalgamation or By-Laws, as applicable, would require the approval of the holders of our common shares in accordance with the requirements of the ABCA.

Shareholder Meetings

Our By-Laws provide that, subject to sections 131 and 132 of the ABCA, our annual meeting of shareholders must be held at our registered office or at a place elsewhere within Alberta (or outside Alberta if permitted by our Articles) determined by our directors on such day in each year and at such time that our directors may determine. Our Articles of Amalgamation provide that our annual meeting of shareholders may be held at any place within Alberta or at any of the following cities: Vancouver, British Columbia; Victoria, British Columbia; Winnipeg, Manitoba; Toronto, Ontario; Ottawa, Ontario; Montreal, Quebec; or Halifax, Nova Scotia. The ABCA requires that we hold an annual meeting of our shareholders each year, no later than 15 months after the date of our prior annual shareholders meeting.

In addition, our directors may at any time call a special meeting of shareholders to be held on the day and at the time and, subject to section 131 of the ABCA, at the place within Alberta that our directors may determine (or, if our Articles of Amalgamation so provide, outside Alberta).

Under the ABCA, where a company is a reporting issuer, notice of a meeting of shareholders is required to be provided at least 21 days, but no more than 50 days, prior to the date on which the meeting is to be held.

The ABCA permits a record date to be fixed for determining shareholders entitled to receive notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders. If a record date is fixed, it must be a date that is at least 21 days, but no more than 50 days, prior to the date on which the meeting is to be held. If a record date is not fixed, the record date will be determined in accordance with the provisions of the ABCA.

Our By-Laws state that the only persons entitled to be present at a meeting of shareholders are:

(i)

those entitled to vote at the meeting;

(ii)

our directors, officers and auditors;

(iii)

others who, although not entitled to vote, are entitled or required under any provision of the ABCA, our Articles of Amalgamation or our By-Laws to be present at the meeting;

(iv)

our legal counsel when invited by us to attend the meeting; and

(v)

any other person on the invitation of the chair of the meeting or with the consent of the meeting.

Pursuant to our By-Laws, votes at meetings of our shareholders may be given either personally or by proxy. Every question submitted to any meeting of our shareholders will be decided on a show of hands except when a ballot is required by the chair of the meeting or is demanded by a shareholder or proxyholder entitled to vote at the meeting. A shareholder or proxyholder may demand a ballot either before or on the declaration of the result of any vote by show of hands. At every meeting at which he or she is entitled to vote, every shareholder present in person and every proxyholder has one vote on a show of hands. Upon a ballot at which he or she is entitled to vote, every shareholder present in person or by proxy will (subject to the provisions, if any, of our Articles of Amalgamation) have one vote for every share for which he or she is entitled to vote. In the case of an equality of votes the chair of the meeting shall not, either on a show of hands or on a ballot, have a second or casting vote in addition to the vote or votes to which he or she may be entitled as a shareholder or proxyholder.

At any meeting, unless a ballot is demanded by a shareholder or proxyholder entitled to vote at the meeting, a declaration by the chair of the meeting that a resolution has been carried unanimously or by a particular majority or lost or not carried by a particular majority shall be conclusive evidence of the fact without proof of the number or proportion of votes recorded in favor of or against the resolution.

If at any meeting a ballot is demanded on the election of a chair or on the question of adjournment or termination, the ballot must be taken promptly without adjournment. If a ballot is demanded on any other question or as to the election of directors, the ballot must be taken in the manner and either at once or later at the meeting or after adjournment as the chair of the meeting directs. The result of a ballot will be deemed to be the resolution of the meeting at which the ballot was demanded. A demand for a ballot may be withdrawn.

With the consent of the chair of the meeting, a shareholder or any other person entitled to attend a meeting of shareholders may participate in the meeting by electronic means, telephone or other communication facilities that permit all persons participating in the meeting to hear or otherwise communicate with each other and a person participating in such a meeting by those means is deemed for the purposes of the ABCA and our By-Laws to be present at the meeting.

If our directors or shareholders call a meeting of shareholders, the directors or the shareholders, as the case may be, may (with the consent of the chair of the meeting) determine that the meeting will be held, in accordance with the regulation to the ABCA, if any, entirely by electronic means, telephone or other communication facility that permits all participants to communicate adequately with each other during the meeting.

The chair of the meeting may with the consent of the meeting adjourn any meeting of shareholders from time to time to a fixed time and place and if the meeting is adjourned by one or more adjournments for an aggregate of less than 30 days it is not necessary to give notice of the adjourned meeting other than by announcement at the time of an adjournment.

Any adjourned meeting shall be duly constituted if held in accordance with the terms of the adjournment and a quorum is present at the adjourned meeting. The persons who formed a quorum at the original meeting are not required to form the quorum at the adjourned meeting. Any business may be brought before or dealt with at the adjourned meeting that might have been brought before or dealt with at the original meeting in accordance with the notice calling the same.

Two persons present and holding or representing by proxy one-quarter of the shares entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders constitutes a quorum. If a quorum is present at the opening of a meeting of shareholders, the shareholders present may proceed with the business of the meeting, notwithstanding that a quorum is not present throughout the meeting. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if we have only one shareholder, or one shareholder holding a majority of the shares entitled to vote at the meeting, that shareholder present in person or by proxy constitutes a meeting and a quorum for the meeting.

A resolution in writing signed by all the shareholders entitled to vote on that resolution is as valid as if it had been passed at a meeting of the shareholders. A resolution in writing dealing with all matters required by the ABCA or our By-Laws to be dealt with at a meeting of shareholders, and signed by all the shareholders entitled to vote at that meeting, satisfies all the requirements of the ABCA and our By-Laws relating to meetings of shareholders.

Qualification of Directors

In accordance with the ABCA, a person must be at least 18 years of age in order to serve as a director of our company.

Our Director and Executive Share Ownership Policy provides that: (a) each non-management member of our Board of Directors, other than the Chair, is required to meet and maintain ownership of a minimum value of our common shares representing at least three times the non-management director’s total annual retainer within five years from the date they join our Board of Directors; and (b) the Chair of the Board of Directors is required to meet and maintain ownership of a minimum value of our common shares representing at least three times the Chair’s total annual retainer within five years from the date of appointment as Chair. The number of common shares deemed to be held by an individual is calculated in accordance with the Policy.

Nomination of Directors

Our By-Laws set forth procedures that must be followed by any shareholder who intends to nominate any person for election as a director, other than pursuant to a proposal made in accordance with the ABCA, or a requisition of a shareholder meeting made pursuant to the ABCA. Our By-Laws stipulate a deadline by which shareholders must notify us of their intention to nominate directors and also sets out the information that shareholders must provide regarding each director nominee and the nominating shareholder in order for the requirements of the By-Laws to be met. These requirements are intended to provide all shareholders, including those voting by proxy, with the opportunity to evaluate the nominees and vote in an informed and timely manner regarding said nominees. These procedures also ensure orderly and efficient shareholder meetings by providing a structured and transparent framework for nominating directors. No person nominated by a shareholder will be eligible for election as a director unless nominated in accordance with the provisions of the By-Laws.

INDEMNIFICATION

Our By-Laws provide that no director or officer of our company will be liable to us for the acts, receipts, neglects or defaults of any other director or officer or employee or for joining in any receipt or act for conformity or for any loss, damage or expense happening to us through the insufficiency or deficiency of title to any property acquired by us or for or on behalf of our company or for the insufficiency or deficiency of any security in or upon which any of the monies of or belonging to us shall be placed out or invested or for any loss or damage arising from the bankruptcy, insolvency or tortious act of any person, firm or corporation including any person, firm or corporation with whom or which any monies, securities or effects shall be lodged or deposited or for any loss, conversion, misapplication or misappropriation of or any damage resulting from any dealings with any monies, securities or other assets belonging to us or for any other loss, damage or misfortune whatever which may happen in the execution of the duties of his or her respective office of trust or in relation thereto, unless the same shall happen by or through his or her failure to exercise the powers and to discharge the duties of his or her office honestly, in good faith with a view to our best interests, and in connection therewith to exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances, provided that nothing herein contained shall relieve a director or officer from the duty to act in accordance with the ABCA or relieve him or her from liability for a breach of that duty under the ABCA.

Our By-Laws require that we indemnify our directors and officers, our former directors and officers and any person who acts or acted at our request as a director or officer of a body corporate of which we are or were a shareholder or creditor, and his or her heirs and legal representatives, against all costs, charges and expenses, to the maximum extent permitted under the ABCA. We have entered into indemnification agreements with our officers and directors that indemnify those persons to the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Pursuant to these agreements, we have agreed to provide an advance of defence costs prior to final disposition of a proceeding, subject to an obligation to repay in certain circumstances.

As permitted by the ABCA, our By-Laws also state that we may purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any person referred to in the above paragraph against any liability incurred by him or her:

(a)

in his or her capacity as a director or officer of our company, except where the liability relates to his or her failure to act honestly and in good faith with a view to our best interests; or

(b)

in his or her capacity as a director or officer of another body corporate where he or she acts or acted in that capacity at our request, except where the liability relates to his or her failure to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the body corporate.

We have purchased insurance against potential claims against our directors and officers and against loss for which we may be required or permitted by law to indemnify those directors and officers.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the applicable provisions of the ABCA and our By-Laws, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Sections 15, 16 and 17 of our By-Law No.1, contain the following provisions with respect to the protection and indemnification of our directors and officers:

For the Protection of Directors and Officers

15. No director or officer of the Corporation shall be liable to the Corporation for the acts, receipts, neglects or defaults of any other director or officer or employee or for joining in any receipt or act for conformity or for any loss, damage or expense happening to the Corporation through the insufficiency or deficiency of title to any property acquired by the Corporation or for or on behalf of the Corporation or for the insufficiency or deficiency of any security in or upon which any of the monies of or belonging to the Corporation shall be placed out or invested or for any loss or damage arising from the bankruptcy, insolvency or tortious act of any person, firm or corporation including any person, firm or corporation with whom or which any monies, securities or effects shall be lodged or deposited or for any loss, conversion, misapplication or misappropriation of or any damage resulting from any dealings with any monies, securities or other assets belonging to the Corporation or for any other loss, damage or misfortune whatever which may happen in the execution of the duties of his or her respective office of trust or in relation thereto, unless the same shall happen by or through his or her failure to exercise the powers and to discharge the duties of his or her office honestly, in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Corporation, and in connection therewith to exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances, provided that nothing herein contained shall relieve a director or officer from the duty to act in accordance with the Act or relieve him or her from liability for a breach of that duty under the Act.

Indemnities to Directors and Others

16. The Corporation shall indemnify a director or officer of the Corporation, a former director or officer of the Corporation or a person who acts or acted at the Corporation’s request as a director or officer of a body corporate of which the Corporation is or was a shareholder or creditor, and his or her heirs and legal representatives, against all costs, charges and expenses, to the maximum extent permitted under the Act and may enter into indemnification agreements with each such persons from time to time. Nothing herein contained shall limit the right of any person entitled to indemnity to claim indemnity apart from the provisions of this paragraph 16.

Insurance

17. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any person referred to in paragraph 16 against any liability incurred by him or her:

(a)

in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Corporation, except where the liability relates to his or her failure to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Corporation; or

(b)

in his or her capacity as a director or officer of another body corporate where he or she acts or acted in that capacity at the Corporation’s request, except where the liability relates to his or her failure to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the body corporate.

The Corporation has purchased insurance against potential claims against the directors or officers of the Corporation and against loss for which the Corporation may be required or permitted by law to indemnify such directors and officers.

The Corporation has entered into indemnification agreements with its officers and directors that indemnify such persons to the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Pursuant to these agreements, the Corporation has agreed to provide an advance of defence costs prior to final disposition of a proceeding, subject to an obligation to repay in certain circumstances.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Corporation pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) and our By-Laws, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is therefore unenforceable.

Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.

The common shares being reoffered and resold pursuant to the Reoffer Prospectus were deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act promulgated thereunder, as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering and pursuant to a written compensatory benefit plan.

Item 9. Undertakings.

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

(1)

To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

(i)

To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

(ii)

To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in the volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;

(iii)

To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;

Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by such paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.

(2)

That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3)

To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered hereby, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

SIGNATURES

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Calgary, Province of Alberta, Canada on October 7, 2025.
