ITEM 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Asset-Sale Term Credit Agreement and Two-Year Term Credit Agreement

On December 10, 2024, Ovintiv Inc. (“Ovintiv”) entered into (i) an Asset-Sale Term Credit Agreement (the “Asset-Sale Term Credit Agreement”) and (ii) a Two-Year Term Credit Agreement (the “Two-Year Term Credit Agreement”), in each case, by and among Ovintiv, as Borrower, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and the lenders party thereto (each a “Term Credit Agreement” and, collectively, the “Term Credit Agreements”). The Asset-Sale Term Credit Agreement provides for a 364-day term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1.5 billion and the Two-Year Term Credit Agreement provides for a two-year term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1.0 billion (each, a “Term Loan Facility” and, collectively, the “Term Loan Facilities”) to be funded on the date (as applicable, the “Funding Date”) on which certain conditions, including the prior or substantially concurrent consummation of the Montney Acquisition (defined below), have been satisfied or waived by the requisite lenders under the applicable Term Credit Agreement. The Term Loan Facilities are intended to partially finance the previously announced acquisition by Ovintiv of assets from Paramount Resources Ltd. (the “Montney Acquisition”). As used herein, the “Asset-Sale Term Loan Facility” refers to the Term Loan Facility governed by the Asset-Sale Term Credit Agreement, and the “Two-Year Term Loan Facility” refers to the Term Loan Facility governed by the Two-Year Term Credit Agreement.

The Two-Year Term Loan Facility is scheduled to mature on the second anniversary of the Funding Date, and the Asset-Sale Term Facility is scheduled to mature 364 days after the Funding Date. The Asset-Sale Term Loan Facility bears interest, at Ovintiv’s option, at (i) the Base Rate (as defined in the Asset-Sale Term Credit Agreement), plus an applicable margin ranging from 0 basis points to 100 basis points, depending on Ovintiv’s credit ratings, or (ii) the Adjusted Term SOFR (as defined in the Asset-Sale Term Credit Agreement), plus an applicable margin ranging from 100 basis points to 200 basis points, depending on Ovintiv’s credit ratings. The Two-Year Term Loan Facility bears interest, at Ovintiv’s option, at (a) the Base Rate (as defined in the Two-Year Term Credit Agreement), plus an applicable margin ranging from 12.5 basis points to 112.5 basis points, depending on Ovintiv’s credit ratings, or (b) the Adjusted Term SOFR (as defined in the Two-Year Term Credit Agreement), plus an applicable margin ranging from 112.5 basis points to 212.5 basis points, depending on Ovintiv’s credit ratings. Ovintiv’s obligations under the Term Credit Agreements are guaranteed by Ovintiv Canada ULC, a British Columbia corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Ovintiv (“Ovintiv Canada”).

Each of the Term Credit Agreements contains representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default that Ovintiv considers customary for an agreement of that type, including a covenant that requires Ovintiv’s ratio of consolidated debt to consolidated capitalization (expressed as a percentage) not to exceed 60% as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. Under each of the Term Credit Agreements, if an event of default exists, the lenders holding more than 50% of the commitments under the applicable Term Credit Agreement may terminate all of the commitments under the applicable Term Credit Agreement and require the immediate repayment of all outstanding borrowings under the applicable Term Credit Agreement.

One or more lenders party to the Term Credit Agreements have in the past performed, and may in the future, from time to time, perform investment banking, financial advisory, lending or commercial banking services for Ovintiv and its subsidiaries, for which they have received, and may in the future receive, customary compensation and reimbursement of expenses.

The above description of the material terms and conditions of the Asset-Sale Term Credit Agreement and the Two-Year Term Credit Agreement is a summary only and does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Asset-Sale Term Credit Agreement and the Two-Year Term Credit Agreement, which are filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
