ANNUAL AND SPECIAL MEETING OF THE SHAREHOLDERS OF OBSIDIAN ENERGY LTD.

NOTICE AND ACCESS NOTIFICATION

You are receiving this notification as Obsidian Energy Ltd. (the “Corporation”) has decided to use the notice and access provisions under National Instrument 54-101 - Communications with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer for delivery of meeting materials to beneficial holders of its common shares (“Beneficial Shareholders”) in connection with the annual and special meeting of shareholders of the Corporation to be held on Monday, June 12, 2023 (the “Meeting”). Under “notice and access”, Beneficial Shareholders receive a proxy or voting instruction form enabling them to vote on the matters to be considered at the Meeting; however, instead of a paper copy of the notice of Meeting and the Corporation’s Management Proxy Circular in respect thereof (the “Circular” and together with the notice of Meeting, the “Meeting Materials”), Beneficial Shareholders receive this notification with information on how they may access the Meeting Materials electronically. The use of this alternative method of delivery is more environmentally friendly as it will help reduce paper use and also will reduce the cost of printing and mailing materials to shareholders.
