ALPINE SUMMIT ENERGY PARTNERS ANNOUNCES
INCREASED DIVIDEND POLICY FOR 2023
Nashville, Tennessee and Vancouver, British Columbia - December 13, 2022 (Newsfile Corp.) - Alpine Summit Energy Partners, Inc. ("Alpine Summit" or the "Company") (TSXV: ALPS.U) (Nasdaq: ALPS) is pleased to announce that Alpine Summit's Board of Directors has approved the Company's capital return program for 2023, which consists of i) increasing the existing monthly dividend by 5% and ii) continuing the share buyback program under the previously announced and approved normal course issuer bid.
The dividend policy approved by the Board is expected to commence in January 2023 and provides for the Company to distribute a portion of the funds received by the Company from its operating subsidiary, HB2 Origination, LLC ("HB2"), to its shareholders and other unitholders of HB2 (which represents approximately 54.4 million Subordinate Voting Shares ("SVS"), on a fully converted basis, as of the date of this news release). Starting in January 2023, the dividend is expected to be equal to US$0.0315 per SVS.
"We are pleased that the Board has approved an increase to the dividend policy, which we believe demonstrates the Company's ongoing execution of its development program and strong production growth," said Craig Perry, Chief Executive Officer of Alpine Summit.

Such forward-looking information and forward-looking statements are not representative of historical facts or information or current condition, but instead represent only Alpine Summit's beliefs regarding future events, plans or objectives, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside of Alpine Summit's control. Generally, such forward-looking information or forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "plans", "expects", "is expected", "budget", "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts", "intends", "anticipates", "believes", or the negative or variations of such words and phrases or may contain statements that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might" or "will be taken", "will continue", "will occur" or "will be achieved". The forward-looking information and forward-looking statements contained herein may include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the monthly dividend policy approved by the directors of the Company for 2023, including the expected amount of such monthly dividend, and repurchases under the share buyback program during 2023.

In addition, in connection with the forward-looking information and forward-looking statements contained in this news release, Alpine Summit has made certain assumptions. Among the key factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking information and statements are the following: the impact that listing on Nasdaq has on relationships, including with regulatory bodies, employees, suppliers, contractors and competitors, as well as the potential for Alpine Summit to fail to meet Nasdaq's continued listing requirements; changes in general economic, business and political conditions, including changes in the financial markets; changes in applicable laws; and compliance with extensive government regulation. Should one or more of these risks, uncertainties or other factors materialize, or should assumptions underlying the forward-looking information or statements prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein as intended, planned, anticipated, believed, estimated or expected. Although Alpine Summit believes that the assumptions and factors used in preparing, and the expectations contained in, the forward-looking information and statements are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on such information and statements, and no assurance or guarantee can be given that such forward-looking information and statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such information and statements.
