PEYTO ANNOUNCES INTENT TO ADJOURN ANNUAL MEETING

Peyto Exploration & Development Corp. intends to adjourn the annual general meeting of shareholders, currently scheduled for May 17, 2023, at 3 p.m. (Calgary time), and to reconvene the meeting on June 13, 2023, at 3 p.m. (Calgary time) at plus-15 level, 600 -- 3rd Avenue S.W., Calgary, Alta., T2P 0G5, in order to give shareholders additional time to cast their votes at the meeting. Beneficial shareholders who have yet to receive their meeting materials including voting instruction form should immediately contact their financial adviser or broker.

To implement the adjournment, the meeting will be convened on May 17, 2023, but the company intends to then immediately adjourn the meeting until June 13, 2023. Other than a motion to adjourn the meeting, no other business is expected to be considered at the meeting on May 17, 2023, and management's corporate presentation is now scheduled to occur after the formal portion of the adjourned meeting on June 13, 2023.

Peyto is encouraged by the support of its shareholders and is committed to continuing its progress to increasing gender diversity on the board. The board has recruited two new independent female directors in the past year who are each standing for election at the meeting and represent 25 per cent of the current slate of board nominees. In addition, the board is committed to increasing the percentage of female directors on the board to 30 per cent for the 2024 annual meeting of Peyto shareholders. The directors of Peyto are also committed to continuing their active engagement and contributions to the company and have all committed to attend substantially all meetings of the board and applicable committees and in any case not less than 75 per cent of all meetings as well as providing increased transparency in future meeting materials regarding these contributions.

The company may use Broadridge Financial Solutions Inc.'s QuickVote service to assist beneficial Peyto shareholders with voting. The company's proxy solicitation agent, Laurel Hill, may contact certain beneficial Peyto shareholders who have not objected to the company knowing who they are (non-objecting beneficial owners, or NOBOs) to conveniently obtain a vote directly over the telephone. Shareholders who have already voted do not need to recast their votes unless they wish to change their vote. Shareholders who have not already voted or wish to change their vote are strongly encouraged to do so promptly using the instructions provided in the company's information circular and in the form of proxy or voting instruction form or by contacting Laurel Hill toll-free within North America at 1-877-452-7184 (1-416-304-0211 outside North America), or by e-mail at assistance@laurelhill.com.
