PARAMOUNT RESOURCES LTD. ANNOUNCES RENEWAL OF NORMAL COURSE ISSUER BID AND JULY DIVIDEND

The Toronto Stock Exchange (the TSX) has accepted Paramount Resources Ltd.'s notice to renew its normal course issuer bid (NCIB) for its Class A common shares. The renewal of the NCIB provides the company with the continued flexibility to increase shareholder returns through the repurchase of common shares at times when management believes that the market price of the common shares does not reflect their underlying value.

The NCIB will commence on July 8, 2025, and is due to expire on July 7, 2026. Paramount may purchase up to 7,512,273 common shares under the NCIB. This represents 10 per cent of the public float of 75,122,737 common shares as of June 24, 2025, out of a total of 143,610,624 common shares outstanding as of that date. Under TSX rules, a maximum of 182,145 common shares may be purchased under the NCIB in any one day, representing 25 per cent of the average daily trading volume of the common shares on the TSX for the six months ended May 31, 2025, of 728,580 common shares. Paramount may also make one block purchase per calendar week which exceeds the daily purchase restriction, subject to the rules of the TSX. Any purchases of common shares under the NCIB will be made through the facilities of the TSX or alternative Canadian trading systems at the market price at the time of purchase. Any common shares acquired under the NCIB will be cancelled.

The company was authorized to purchase up to 7,888,902 common shares under its current NCIB, which is due to expire on July 7, 2025. Paramount has purchased and cancelled 5,667,300 common shares under this NCIB.

The company is also pleased to announce that its board of directors has declared a cash dividend of five cents per common share that will be payable on July 31, 2025, to shareholders of record on July 15, 2025. The dividend will be designated as an eligible dividend for Canadian income tax purposes.
