Such forward-looking information relates to internal projections, expectations, estimates or beliefsrelating to future events or future performance . All statements contained herein, other than statements of historical fact, maybe forward-looking information. Forward-looking information is often, but not always, identified by the use of words such as "seek", "anticipate", "plan", "continue", "estimate", "expect", "may", "will", "project", "predict", “propose”, "potential", "targeting", "intend", "could", "might", "should", "believe" and similar expressions. These statements are only predictions and actual events or results may differ materially.

Therefore, investors should not unduly rely on the forward-looking information contained in this investor presentation as actual results may vary.

With respect to forward-looking information contained in this presentation, the recapitalized corporation has made assumptions regarding, among other things: the legislative and regulatory environment in the jurisdiction where it intends tooperate, the impact of increasing competition, costs related to exploration, drilling, seismic and the development of oil and gas properties will remain consistent with historical experiences, anticipated results of exploration and drilling activities and the price of oil and gas. The forward-looking information contained in this investor presentation involves known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking information.

Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking information contained in this presentation as a result of the following risk factors: volatility in the market prices for oil and natural gas, unanticipated changes in anyapplicable royalty regime, uncertainties associated with estimating resources and reserves, geological problems, technical problems, drilling and seismic problems, liabilities and risks including environmental liabilities and risks inherent in oil andnatural gas operations, fluctuations in currency and interest rates, incorrect assessments of the value of acquisitions, unanticipated results of exploration and development drilling and related activities, competition for capital, competition for acquisitions of reserves and resources, competition for undeveloped lands, competition for skilled personnel, unpredictable weather conditions, the impact of general economic conditions and political conditions, industry conditions including changesin laws and regulations including adoption of new environmental laws and regulations, the possibility of future financings and divestitures, expectations regarding future production and obtaining required approvals of regulatory authorities.

The forward-looking information contained in this investor presentation speaks only as of the date of this investor presentation and is expressly qualified, in its entirety, by this cautionary statement and the recapitalized corporation disclaims any intent or obligation to update publicly any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or results or otherwise, other than as required by applicable securities laws.

An investment in securities involves a high degree of risk and potential investors are advised to seek their own investment and legal advice.

BOE Disclosure The term barrels of oil equivalent (“BOE”) may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A BOE conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet per barrel (6Mcf/bbl) of natural gas to barrels of oil equivalence is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.

U.S. Gulf Coast Gas Demand to Increase 20+ Bcf/d in Next 5 years

5

Positioning Southern for the future

The U.S. Gas Depletion Story: 2020 and Beyond• Unprecedented production of 100+ Bcf/d with annual decline rate of > 25%• System requires ~ 25 Bcf/d of new annual production to stay flat• Producers currently focused on fiscal responsibility and FCF – not growth

Associated Gas Supply Becoming Capital Constrained• Constrained to self-funded growth opposed to equity/debt funded growth• Low oil prices (~ $25 WTI) not expected to incent incremental oil drilling• Permian and Marcellus likely entering extended period of decline in 2H20

Structural Demand From Increasing U.S. Natural Gas Exports• LNG exports currently ~ 9 Bcf/d• Second wave of LNG projects adding another 10+ Bcf/d of exports by 2025• Pipeline exports to Canada and Mexico to exceed 10 Bcf/d by 2025

Industrial Power Demand in Gulf Coast States increasing• Industrial power demand increase of ~ 10% in 2018 is expected to continue• U.S. industrial natural gas power demand now over 25 Bcf/d • Recent major manufacturing plants include Yokohama, Mercedes & Toyota

• Target large scale growth through consolidation at current commodity pricing • Optionality for low risk drilling in under-developed, low-decline assets

Consolidating and developing high quality low risk conventional assets in under-exploited basins in U.S. Gulf Coast states

• Track record of substantial acquisition and organic growth in previous companies• More than 6 years of operating experience in these basins

Capitalizing on management’s technical experience in the area to enhance asset values

• Consolidate large scale natural gas assets connected to Henry Hub pricing• Assets offer optionality to develop oil that attracts a premium to WTI pricing

Focusing on accretive PDP acquisition of conventional assets with exposure to premium commodity pricing

Positioning Southern to return significant value to shareholders in a responsible, respectful and environmentally efficient manner

Hedging Summary

Hedging Position:

• As at May 2020:

• Calendar 2020 average natural gas hedge price of ~ $2.55/MMBTU (~ 50% of current natural gas production base)

• Calendar 2021 average natural gas hedge price of ~ $2.45/MMBTU (~ 44% of current natural gas production base)
