DENVER, Oct. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Ovintiv Inc. (NYSE: OVV) (TSX: OVV) ("Ovintiv" or the "Company") and Logan Energy Corp. ("Logan") (TSXV: LGN) today announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement whereby Ovintiv will acquire all of the outstanding shares of Logan in an all-cash transaction that values Logan at approximately $890 million (C$1.26 billion) including expected Net Debt at closing. The acquisition is expected to add approximately 420 total net 10,000-foot equivalent oil well locations, and approximately 266,000 net acres (approximately 200,000 core acres, 80% undeveloped) in the Montney oil window. Current production from the acquired assets is approximately 20 MBOE/d (approximately 7 thousand barrels per day ("Mbbls/d") of oil and condensate, 70 million cubic feet per day ("MMcf/d") of natural gas and 1 Mbbls/d of other NGLs (C2 to C4)). The assets are located in close proximity to Ovintiv's existing Montney operations and include two new oil batteries and additional natural gas processing capacity.

"This bolt-on transaction delivers value for our shareholders by adding high margin oil and condensate production and infrastructure, utilizing our operational advantage to drive significant synergies, and adding to our already deep drilling inventory and future growth optionality," said Ovintiv President and CEO, Brendan McCracken. "The Logan assets have demonstrated leading oil productivity performance and will immediately compete for capital alongside the rest of our portfolio."

The transaction is expected to be funded through a combination of the Company's cash on hand, borrowings under its credit facility and its commercial paper program.

Transaction Overview:

• Immediately Accretive – The transaction is expected to be immediately and long-term accretive across key operational and financial metrics including Non-GAAP Cash Flow per Share of 5%, and Non-GAAP Free Cash Flow per Share of 3% in 2027.
• Increases Montney Scale – The transaction is expected to add approximately 420 total net 10,000-foot equivalent oil well locations (220 premium return locations and approximately 200 upside locations, all located in the Simonette and Pouce Coupe areas). Ovintiv's core land position in the Montney is expected to increase to approximately 720,000 net acres. Also included in the transaction is approximately 60,000 net acres with exposure to the Duvernay shale. A map of Ovintiv's pro forma acreage is available on its website at: https://investor.ovintiv.com/image/OVV+Pro+Forma+Montney+Map.pdf.
• Significant Synergies – The transaction is expected to generate cost synergies of approximately $60 million annually, comprised primarily of capital savings, production cost savings and overhead cost reductions. Capital cost savings are estimated at more than $2 million per well across the acquired assets, consistent with Ovintiv's current Montney well costs.
• Infrastructure Ownership – Logan has 100% ownership in two new oil batteries in Simonette with combined capacity of 24 Mbbls/d, the first of which came online during the third quarter of 2026, and the second is expected to come online by the end of the first quarter of 2027. Logan also has 50% ownership at a natural gas processing facility in Simonette with total capacity of 90 MMcf/d and 65% ownership in a natural gas processing facility in Pouce Coupe with total capacity of 57 MMcf/d. Ownership in these facilities is expected to enhance Ovintiv's Montney margins and provide future growth optionality.
• Maintains Strong Balance Sheet – Following closing of the transaction early in the first quarter of 2027, Ovintiv expects its Net Debt to be below $4 billion. The Company's targeted shareholder returns remain unchanged with at least 60% of 2026 Non-GAAP Free Cash Flow expected to be returned to shareholders via share buybacks and regular dividend payments. Beyond 2026, the target range remains unchanged at 50% to 100%.

NOTE 1: Non-GAAP Measures
Certain measures in this news release do not have any standardized meaning as prescribed by U.S. GAAP and, therefore, are considered non-GAAP measures. These measures may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies and should not be viewed as a substitute for measures reported under U.S. GAAP. These measures are commonly used in the oil and gas industry and/or by Ovintiv to provide shareholders and potential investors with additional information regarding the Company's liquidity and its ability to generate funds to finance its operations. For additional information regarding non-GAAP measures, see the Company's website. This news release contains references to non-GAAP measures as follows:

• Non-GAAP Cash Flow and Non-GAAP Cash Flow per Share are non-GAAP measures. Non-GAAP Cash Flow is defined as cash from (used in) operating activities excluding net change in other assets and liabilities, and net change in non-cash working capital. Non-GAAP Cash Flow per Share is Non-GAAP Cash Flow divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding.
• Non-GAAP Free Cash Flow and Non-GAAP Free Cash Flow per Share are non-GAAP measures. Non-GAAP Free Cash Flow is defined as Non-GAAP Cash Flow in excess of capital expenditures, excluding net acquisitions and divestitures. Non-GAAP Free Cash Flow per Share is Non-GAAP Free Cash Flow divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Forecasted Non-GAAP Cash Flow and forecasted Non-GAAP Free Cash Flow assume strip pricing as of October 20, 2026. Due to their forward-looking nature, management cannot reliably predict certain of the necessary components of the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measures, such as changes in operating assets and liabilities. Accordingly, Ovintiv is unable to present quantitative reconciliations of such forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures. Amounts excluded from these non-GAAP measures in future periods could be significant.
• Net Debt is a non-GAAP measure defined as long-term debt, including the current portion, less cash and cash equivalents.

ADVISORY REGARDING OIL AND GAS INFORMATION – The conversion of natural gas volumes to barrels of oil equivalent ("BOE") is on the basis of six thousand cubic feet to one barrel. BOE is based on a generic energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent economic value equivalency at the wellhead. Readers are cautioned that BOE may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. The term "liquids" is used to represent oil, NGLs and condensate. The term "condensate" refers to plant condensate.

ADVISORY REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS – This news release contains forward-looking statements or information (collectively, "forward-looking statements") within the meaning of applicable securities legislation, including Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Readers are cautioned against unduly relying on forward-looking statements, which are based on current expectations and, by their nature, involve numerous assumptions that are subject to both known and unknown risks and uncertainties (many of which are beyond our control) that may cause such statements not to occur, or actual results to differ materially and/or adversely from those expressed or implied.

While the Company considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and beyond the Company's control. Although the Company believes the expectations represented by its forward-looking statements are reasonable based on the information available to it as of the date such statements are made, forward-looking statements are only predictions and statements of our current beliefs and there can be no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct.
