Further Information on the Company

Introduction

Southern Energy is an established oil and gas producer headquartered and incorporated in Alberta, Canada, with oil and gas interests in properties located in the south-eastern United States, primarily in Mississippi.

The Group has controlling operated interests in properties covering approximately 30,000 net acres in the Mississippi Interior Salt Basin, which include its two principal properties Mechanicsburg and Mount Olive East, and approximately 1,200 net acres in the Black Warrior Basin. The majority of the Group's leases (97 per cent.) contain producing wells and are 'held by production', requiring no additional drilling or operations for the Group to maintain its existing interest.

The Group currently has a working interest in 239 producing wells. Aggregate Gross production attributable to the Group's working interests is approximately 2,150 boe/d, predominantly comprised of 11.9 MMscf/d of gas production (Q1 2021 average) from conventional, low-decline, long-life reserves in fields with abundant infrastructure, low operating costs and premium commodity pricing. The majority of the Group's producing assets have a predictable and consistent production profile and have been on production for more than 10 years.

As at 1 April 2021, the Group's total Company Gross Proved (1P) gas reserves were 55.9 Bcf, with Net attributable of 44.2 Bcf. Proved plus Probable (2P) Company Gross gas reserves were 62.4 Bcf, with Net attributable of 49.4 Bcf. The corresponding liquids reserves (comprising oil, condensate and NGLs) were 1,063 Mbbl Gross, 851 Mbbl Net 1P, with 2P reserves of 1,236 Mbbl Gross, 988 Mbbl Net.

In addition to increasing production through acquisitions of further properties, the Group's portfolio also provides the opportunity to increase production through infill drilling on its existing properties.

The Company's Common Shares are listed on the 'TSXV' under the trading symbol 'SOU'.

Highlights and Strategy

Southern Energy is focused on building value through the consolidation and development of gas and oil assets in south-eastern United States, where there are a series of mature basins with proven low-cost producing assets, with a current focus on the Mississippi Interior Salt Basin. The Group intends to increase its production base by over 25,000 boe/d over the next two years through continued asset consolidation and development, targeting conventional assets with low decline, long life, multi-zone organic growth potential ranging from 1,500 to 15,000 boe/d, which the Group is currently evaluating.

The Group aims to build a high-margin asset base of sufficient scale with significant low-risk drilling inventory that continues to generate free cash flow to deliver shareholder distributions over the medium term to long term. To accomplish this objective, the Board seeks to balance two primary growth drivers: (a) adding accretive Proved developed producing acquisitions; and (b) executing low-risk development drilling to achieve organic reserves growth.

During periods where the Board believes commodity prices are depressed, the Group employs a disciplined acquisition strategy to add low-decline assets that are synergistic with existing operations at attractive metrics to its portfolio, while paying only for Proved developed producing reserves. During periods of relatively stronger commodity pricing, the Board intends to focus on the infill development of the Group's existing large-scale drilling inventory within assets exhibiting historically low recovery factors.

As part of its acquisition growth strategy, the Group evaluates oil and gas properties throughout the south-eastern United States that will result in meaningful reserve and production additions. The Group seeks to add high-quality, long-life reservoirs in proven growth areas that offer existing infrastructure, opportunities for operating cost reductions, low-cost oil and gas drilling opportunities and operational control.

The Group has made two acquisitions in its focus area over the past four years and has rigorously optimized production and operating costs over that time. While spending minimal maintenance capital on the assets, Southern Energy has lowered per unit operating costs by more than 40 per cent. over the past four years by employing proven strategies to maximize value in under-exploited assets. The Group sees similar opportunities on the larger consolidation opportunities that it is evaluating and is excited to implement these cost control strategies on a larger scale.

Southern Energy leverages the specialised skill and knowledge of its Board and management team to compile, interpret and evaluate technical data, drill and complete wells, design and operate production facilities and numerous additional activities required to explore for and produce oil and natural gas.

The south-eastern United States is strategically located near Henry Hub, which commands premium natural gas pricing. The Group currently sells the majority of its produced natural gas and oil at the wellhead pursuant to variable price contracts, where it receives Henry Hub pricing (less minor proximity adjustments) for its natural gas and Louisiana Light Sweet pricing (less adjustments for proximity and quality) for its oil. The Board believes that the Group will benefit from its exposure to the expanding Gulf Coast LNG export market and the current tightening in the US gas supply/demand balance as shale gas growth has become largely unprofitable, LNG exports increase and an increasing market share for clean gas-fired power generation in the United States.

The Group's ESG objectives are supported by a low plug and abandonment liability on its existing assets and its focus on low emission natural gas assets in the Gulf Coast.

Key Investment Proposition

The key objective of the Group is to deliver long-term material value for its stakeholders through the growth and development of its oil and gas production portfolio. The Directors and the Proposed Director believe that an investment in the Company should be attractive to prospective investors for the following reasons:

• The Group intends to capitalise on its significant regional geologic database developed over the preceding seven years to build on the Group's existing strong base of long life, low decline (<12 per cent.) assets, which provide low risk and stable cash flows;
• The Board and management team have significant combined experience in the oil and gas industry and within the region in which they are operating, and are currently interested in approximately 16.7 per cent. of the Common Shares;
• With minimal capital development on its assets, the Group has a track record of optimising the performance of its assets through rigorous operating cost savings and production, marketing and lift optimisations effected in an environmentally conscious and safety driven manner;
• The Group intends to make additional accretive acquisitions of Proved Developed Producing conventional assets with exposure to premium offtake pricing, following a disciplined consolidation strategy of acquiring low decline long life assets with multi-zone organic growth potential without paying value for extensive upside; and
• The Group's current portfolio provides the opportunity to pursue low-risk development drilling and reserves growth, where assets have historically been under-developed with relatively low historical recovery from vertical wells, and such characteristics would form part of the Group's criteria for future acquisitions.

All reserves and resources information in this announcement is derived from the CPR, prepared in in accordance with National Instrument 51-101 - Standards of Disclosure of Oil and Gas Activities ('NI 51-101') and the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook (the 'COGE Handbook'). Reserves values are based on NSAI's April 1, 2021 forecast prices and costs. All reserve references in this press release are 'gross reserves'. Gross reserves are a company's total working interest reserves before the deduction of any royalties payable by such company and before the consideration of such company's royalty interests. It should not be assumed that the present worth of estimated future cash flow of net revenue presented herein represents the fair market value of the reserves. There is no assurance that the forecast prices and costs assumptions will be attained and variances could be material. The recovery and reserve estimates of the Company's oil, NGLs and natural gas reserves provided herein are estimates only and there is no guarantee that the estimated reserves will be recovered. Actual oil, natural gas and NGLs reserves may be greater than or less than the estimates provided herein.

This announcement contains various references to the abbreviation 'boe' which means barrels of oil equivalent, and 'Bcf' which means billions of cubic feet. Where amounts are expressed on a boe basis, natural gas volumes have been converted to oil equivalence at six thousand cubic feet (Mcf) per barrel (bbl). The term boe may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet per barrel is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead and is significantly different than the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil and natural gas. This conversion factor is an industry accepted norm and is not based on either energy content or current prices. Such abbreviation may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation.

References to 'oil' in this announcement include light crude oil and medium crude oil, combined. NI 51-101 includes condensate within the product type of 'natural gas liquids'. References to 'natural gas liquids' or 'NGLs' include pentane, butane, propane, ethane and condensate. References to 'gas' or 'natural gas' relates to conventional natural gas.
