NuVista Receives TSX Approval for the Renewal of its Normal Course Issuer Bid - Seite 2

NuVista has entered into an automatic share purchase plan ("ASPP") with a broker in order to facilitate repurchases of its common shares. Under the Corporation's ASPP, the broker may repurchase shares under the normal course issuer bid during the Corporation's self-imposed blackout periods. Purchases will be made by the broker based upon the parameters prescribed by the TSX and applicable securities laws and the terms of the plan and the parties' written agreement. Outside of these blackout periods, common shares may be purchased under the 2023 NCIB in accordance with management's discretion.

Under the previous normal course issuer bid (the "2022 NCIB"), NuVista repurchased 18,190,261 common shares at a weighted average price paid per share of $11.59. The 2022 NCIB was completed on June 12, 2023.

As of the close of business on June 2, 2023, the Corporation had 216,575,775 common shares issued and outstanding and a public float of 167,937,793 common shares. All common shares acquired under the 2023 NCIB will be cancelled.
