FRONTERA ANNOUNCES PRELIMINARY RESULTS OF SUBSTANTIAL ISSUER BID

Frontera Energy Corp. has released the preliminary results of its substantial issuer bid, pursuant to which the company offered to purchase from shareholders for cancellation up to $42-million (equivalent to $30-million (U.S.)) of its outstanding common shares at a purchase price of $12 per share. The offer expired at 5 p.m. Eastern Time on Jan. 24, 2025.

In accordance with the terms and conditions of the offer and based on the preliminary calculation of Computershare Investor Services Inc., as depositary for the offer, Frontera expects to take up and pay for 3.5 million shares (approximately 4.33 per cent of the total number of Frontera's issued and outstanding shares as of Jan. 23, 2025) at the purchase price. After the cancellation of the shares taken up and paid for by the company, Frontera anticipates that approximately 77.29 million shares will be issued and outstanding.

Approximately 73,178,094 shares were validly tendered and not withdrawn. Since the offer was oversubscribed, the tendered shares will be purchased on a pro rata basis following the determination of the final results of the offer. Frontera currently expects that shareholders who tendered will have approximately 4.78 per cent of their tendered shares purchased by the company.

The number of shares to be purchased and the proration factor are preliminary, remain subject to verification by the depositary, and assume that all shares tendered through notice of guaranteed delivery will be delivered within the one-trading-day settlement period. Upon takeup of the shares validly tendered to the offer, Frontera will issue a press release disclosing the final results, including the final proration factor.

Promptly after such press release, payment for the shares accepted for purchase will be made in accordance with the terms of the offer and applicable law, and the depositary will return all other shares tendered and not purchased.

The terms and conditions of the offer are described in the offer to purchase and issuer bid circular dated Dec. 19, 2024, letter of transmittal and notice of guaranteed delivery, copies of which were filed and are available without charge on SEDAR+.

The company intends to recommence purchases of shares pursuant to a new normal course issuer bid following the announcement of its fourth quarter and year-end results.
