IPC Announces TSX Approval for Renewal of Normal Course Issuer Bid (NCIB 2024/2025)

International Petroleum Corporation ("IPC" or the "Corporation") (TSX, Nasdaq Stockholm: IPCO) is pleased to announce that the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") has approved IPC's notice of intention to renew IPC’s normal course issuer bid (the "NCIB").

Under the NCIB, IPC is authorized to purchase, through the facilities of the TSX and/or Nasdaq Stockholm, or as otherwise permitted under Canadian securities laws, as and when considered advisable by IPC, up to 7,465,356common shares in the capital of the Corporation (the "Common Shares"), representing approximately 6.2% of the 119,882,701 Common Shares outstanding as at November 29, 2024 (or 10% of IPC's "public float" (as defined in the TSX Company Manual) of 74,653,562 Common Shares as at November 29, 2024), over a period of twelve months commencing on December 5, 2024 and ending on December 4, 2025, or until such earlier date as the NCIB is completed or terminated by IPC.

The maximum number of Common Shares which can be purchased each day on Nasdaq Stockholm will be 25% of the average daily trading volume of the Common Shares for the 20 trading days preceding the date of purchase, subject to certain exceptions for block purchases. In addition, IPC will be limited to daily purchases of no more than 15,952 Common Shares on the TSX, being 25% of IPC's average daily TSX trading volume of 63,811 Common Shares during the six months ended November 30, 2024 (excluding purchases of Common Shares on the TSX by IPC under its previous NCIB), subject to certain exceptions for block purchases and other prescribed exemptions available under applicable Canadian securities laws. IPC currently does not hold any Common Shares in treasury.

In connection with the NCIB, IPC has entered into an automatic share purchase plan (the "ASPP") with its designated broker to allow IPC to repurchase Common Shares when it would ordinarily not be permitted to purchase Common Shares due to regulatory restrictions and customary self-imposed blackout periods. Pursuant to the ASPP, IPC may provide standard instructions during non-blackout periods to its designated broker, which instructions may not be varied or suspended during the blackout period. Outside of any blackout periods, Common Shares will be purchased in accordance with management's discretion. All purchases made under the ASPP will be included in computing the number of Common Shares purchased under the NCIB. The ASPP has been reviewed and pre-cleared by the TSX and may be terminated by IPC or its broker in accordance with its terms, or will terminate on the expiry of the NCIB.

Any Common Shares that IPC purchases under the NCIB will be purchased on the open market through the facilities of the TSX and/or Nasdaq Stockholm, or as otherwise permitted under Canadian securities laws, at the prevailing market price at the time of such purchase and in accordance with the applicable rules and policies of the TSX and Nasdaq Stockholm and applicable Canadian and Swedish securities laws. The actual number of Common Shares that will be purchased, and the timing of any such purchases, will be determined by IPC, subject to the limits imposed by the TSX, Nasdaq Stockholm and under applicable Canadian securities laws. There cannot be any assurances as to the number of Common Shares that will ultimately be acquired by IPC. Any Common Shares purchased by IPC under the NCIB will be cancelled.

IPC believes that the purchase of Common Shares for cancellation represents an effective use of IPC's capital, is in the best interest of IPC and is an efficient way to return value to IPC's shareholders.

IPC's previous normal course issuer bid for the purchase of up to 8,342,119 Common Shares, commenced on December 5, 2023 and was fully completed by November 15, 2024. The Common Shares acquired under IPC's previous normal course issuer bid were acquired for a weighted average price of CAD$17.01 per Common Share. Purchases were made through the facilities of the TSX and Nasdaq Stockholm, including pursuant to the previous automatic share purchase plan.
