Pursuant to a statutory plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”) under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta), effective May 12, 2025, Whitecap Resources Inc., a corporation governed by the laws of the Province of Alberta (“Whitecap”), acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Registrant pursuant to a business combination agreement dated March 9, 2025, by and among Whitecap and the Registrant.
