VOTING INFORMATION

Solicitation of Proxies

This Information Circular is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by management of Obsidian Energy for use at the Annual and Special Meeting of the holders of the common shares of Obsidian Energy to be held on Thursday, May 2, 2024, at 9:00 a.m. (Mountain Daylight Time) at the corporate head office of Obsidian Energy located at Suite 200, 207 9^th Avenue SW, Calgary, Alberta and at any adjournment or postponement thereof, for the purposes set forth in the Notice of Annual and Special Meeting enclosed herewith. Defined terms used in this Information Circular that are not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in "Appendix C - Glossary of Frequently Used Defined Terms, Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Advisory, Oil and Gas Information Advisory and Forward-Looking Statement Advisory". Unless otherwise indicated, all information provided in this Information Circular is given as at March 15, 2024.

The solicitation of proxies will be made primarily by mail. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by mail, directors and officers and certain employees of Obsidian Energy may solicit proxies personally by telephone or other telecommunication, but will not receive additional compensation for doing so.

Accompanying this Information Circular is an Instrument of Proxy for use by registered Shareholders. Instruments of Proxy must be received by TSX Trust Company at Proxy Department, P.O. Box 721, Agincourt, Ontario M1S 0A1, by internet at www.tsxtrust.com/vote-proxy, by facsimile at 1-416-595-9593 or by email at proxyvote@tmx.com, by not later than 9:00 a.m. (Mountain Daylight Time) on April 30, 2024 or, in the case of any adjournment or postponement of the Meeting, not less than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) prior to the time of any adjourned or postponed Meeting. The time limit for the deposit of proxies may be waived or extended by the Chair of the Meeting at his or her discretion without notice. See "Voting Options - Voting by Registered Shareholders" below.

The Record Date for the Meeting is the close of business on March 13, 2024. Only Shareholders of record as at that date are entitled to receive notice of the Meeting. Shareholders of record will be entitled to vote those Shares included in the list of Shareholders entitled to vote at the Meeting prepared as at the Record Date even if the Shareholder has since that time disposed of his or her Shares, provided however that, to the extent a Shareholder transfers the ownership of any of such Shareholder's Shares after the Record Date and the transferee of those Shares establishes that the transferee owns those Shares and demands, not later than 10 days before the Meeting, to be included in the list of Shareholders eligible to vote at the Meeting, such transferee will be entitled to vote those Shares at the Meeting.

An instrument appointing a proxy (including the accompanying Instrument of Proxy) shall be in writing and shall be executed by the Shareholder or his or her attorney authorized in writing or, if the Shareholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal or by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized. A proxy signed by a person acting as attorney or in some other representative capacity should reflect such person's capacity following his or her signature and should be accompanied by the appropriate instrument evidencing qualification and authority to act.

The persons named in the enclosed Instrument of Proxy are directors and/or officers of Obsidian Energy. Each registered Shareholder has the right to appoint a proxyholder other than the persons designated in the enclosed Instrument of Proxy, who need not be a Shareholder, to attend and to act for the Shareholder and on behalf of the Shareholder at the Meeting. To exercise such right, the name of the Shareholder's appointee should be legibly printed in the blank space provided.

Notice to Beneficial Shareholders

The information set forth in this section is of significant importance to many Shareholders, as a substantial number of Shareholders do not hold Shares in their own name. Shareholders who do not hold their Shares in their own name should note that only proxies deposited by Shareholders whose names appear on the records of the registrar and transfer agent for Obsidian Energy as the registered holders of Shares can be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting. If Shares are listed in an account statement provided to a Shareholder by a broker, then in almost all cases those Shares will not be registered in the Shareholder's name on the records of the registrar and transfer agent for Obsidian Energy. Such Shares will more likely be registered under the name of the Shareholder's broker or an agent of that broker. In Canada, the vast majority of such Shares are registered under the name of CDS & Co. (the registration name for CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc., which acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms). Shares held by brokers or their nominees can only be voted (for or against resolutions) or withheld from voting upon the instructions of the Beneficial Shareholder. Without specific instructions, the broker/nominees are prohibited from voting Shares for their clients. Obsidian Energy does not know for whose benefit the Shares registered in the name of CDS & Co. are held. The majority of Shares held in the United States are registered in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee for The Depository Trust Company, which is the United States equivalent of CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc.

Applicable regulatory policy requires intermediaries/brokers to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of Shareholders' meetings. Every intermediary/broker has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions, which should be carefully followed by Beneficial Shareholders to ensure that their Shares are voted at the Meeting. Often, the form of proxy or Voting Instruction Form supplied to a Beneficial Shareholder by its broker is substantially similar to the Instrument of Proxy provided to registered Shareholders; however, its purpose is limited to instructing the registered Shareholder how to vote on behalf of the Beneficial Shareholder. The majority of brokers and other intermediaries now delegate responsibility for obtaining voting instructions from clients to Broadridge. Broadridge typically mails a scannable Voting Instruction Form in lieu of the Instrument of Proxy provided to registered Shareholders. The Beneficial Shareholder is requested to complete and return the voting instruction form to Broadridge by mail or facsimile. Alternatively, the Beneficial Shareholder can call a toll-free telephone number or access the internet to vote the Shares held by the Beneficial Shareholder. Broadridge then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of Shares held by Beneficial Shareholders and to be represented at the Meeting. A Beneficial Shareholder receiving a Voting Instruction Form cannot use that

Voting Instruction Form to vote Shares directly at the Meeting. The Voting Instruction Form must be returned as directed therein well in advance of the Meeting to have the Shares voted.

Although you may not be recognized directly at the Meeting for the purposes of voting Shares registered in the name of your broker or other intermediary, you may attend the Meeting as a proxyholder for the registered Shareholder and vote your Shares in that capacity. If you wish to attend the Meeting and vote Shares you hold as a Beneficial Shareholder, you must do so as proxyholder for the registered Shareholder. To do this, you should enter your own name in the blank space on the Voting Instruction Form provided to you and return the document to Broadridge or your broker or other intermediary in accordance with the instructions therein well in advance of the Meeting.

The Corporation will not send proxy-related materials directly to non-objecting Beneficial Shareholders - such materials will be delivered to non-objecting Beneficial Shareholders by Broadridge or through the non-objecting Beneficial Shareholder's intermediary. Obsidian Energy will pay for the costs of an intermediary to deliver the proxy-related materials and Form 54-101F7 - "Request for Voting Instructions Made by Intermediary" to objecting Beneficial Shareholders.

Revocability of Proxy

A registered Shareholder who has submitted a proxy may revoke it at any time prior to the exercise thereof. If a person who has given a proxy attends the Meeting in person at which such proxy is to be voted, such person may revoke the proxy and vote in person. In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a proxy may be revoked by instrument in writing executed by the Shareholder or his attorney authorized in writing or, if the Shareholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal or by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized and deposited either at the above mentioned office of TSX Trust Company at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment or postponement thereof, at which the proxy is to be used, or with the Chair of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting prior to the commencement of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, and upon either of such deposits, the proxy is revoked.

Exercise of Discretion by Proxy

The Shares represented by Instruments of Proxy shall be voted for or against (or withheld from voting), as applicable, in accordance with the instructions of the Shareholder on any matter to be acted upon at the Meeting and, where the Shareholder specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the Shares shall be voted for or against (or withheld from voting), as applicable, on any matter in accordance with the specification so made.

In the absence of such specification, the Shares represented by an Instrument of Proxy will be voted in favour of the matters to be acted upon at the Meeting. The persons named in the Instrument of Proxy furnished by Obsidian Energy will have discretionary authority with respect to any amendments or variations of the matters of business to be acted on at the Meeting or any other matters properly brought before the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, in each instance, to the extent permitted by law, whether or not the amendment, variation or other matter that comes before the Meeting is routine and whether or not the amendment, variation or other matter that comes before the Meeting is contested. As of the date of this Information Circular, management of Obsidian Energy knows of no such amendment, variation or other matter to be acted on at the Meeting.

Voting Options

Voting by Registered Shareholders

You are a registered Shareholder if your Shares are held in your name or if you have a certificate for Shares bearing your name. As a registered Shareholder you can vote in the following ways:

Voting for Non-Registered or Beneficial Shareholders

If a Shareholder's Shares are not registered in such Shareholder's name, such Shares will be held in the name of a "nominee", usually a bank, trust company, broker, securities dealer or other financial institution and, as such, that nominee will be the legal entity entitled to vote those Shares and must seek the Beneficial Shareholder's instructions as to how to vote the Beneficial Shareholder's Shares. See "Notice to Beneficial Shareholders" above and the accompanying Voting Instruction Form for instructions on how to vote your Shares.

If you have any questions or require more information with respect to voting your Shares at the Meeting, please contact our Investor Relations department, who can be reached at 1-403-777-2500, or Toll Free at 1-888-770-2633, or by email at investor.relations@obsidianenergy.com

Notice-and-Access

Obsidian Energy has elected to use the "notice-and-access" provisions under National Instrument 54-101Communications with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer (the "Notice-and-Access Provisions") for the Meeting in respect of mailings to its Beneficial Shareholders but not in respect of mailings to its registered Shareholders. The Notice-and-Access Provisions are rules developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators that reduce the volume of materials that must be physically mailed to shareholders by allowing a reporting issuer to post an information circular in respect of a meeting of its shareholders and related materials online.

Obsidian Energy has also elected to use procedures known as "stratification" in relation to our use of the Notice-and-Access Provisions. Stratification occurs when a reporting issuer uses the Notice-and-Access Provisions to provide a paper copy of an information circular and, if applicable, a paper copy of financial statements and related Management's Discussion and Analysis ("Financial Information"), to some shareholders together with the notice (the "Notice-and-Access Notification") provided to shareholders under the Notice-and-Access Provisions. In relation to the Meeting, in addition to a Notice-and-Access Notification and request for voting instructions, Beneficial Shareholders who have previously requested to receive them will receive a paper copy of this Information Circular.

Beneficial Shareholders who have not already received but wish to receive a paper copy of this Information Circular should contact TSX Trust Company at the toll-free number 1-888-433-6443 or 1-416-682-3801 outside Canada and the U.S., by email at tsxt-fulfilment@tmx.com, or online at www.meetingdocuments.com/TSXT/obe or through Obsidian Energy's profile on SEDAR+ at any time up to one year after the date of the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. To allow Beneficial Shareholders a reasonable time to receive paper copies of the Information Circular and related materials prior to providing their voting instructions in respect of their Shares, any Beneficial Shareholders wishing to request paper copies as described above should ensure that such request is received by 3:30 p.m. (Mountain Daylight Time) on April 18, 2024. A Beneficial Shareholder may also call Obsidian Energy at 1-888-770-2633 (toll free) to obtain additional information about the Notice-and-Access Provisions.

Voting Shares and Principal Holders thereof

Obsidian Energy is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Shares and up to 90,000,000 preferred shares. As at March 15, 2024, 77,435,491 Shares and no preferred shares were issued and outstanding. At the Meeting, upon a show of hands, every Shareholder present in person or represented

by proxy and entitled to vote shall have one vote. On a poll or ballot, every Shareholder present in person or by proxy has one vote for each Share held.

If two or more persons hold Shares jointly, one of those Shareholders present at the Meeting may in the absence of the others vote the Shares, but if two or more of those persons who are present, in person or by proxy, vote, they shall vote as one on the Shares jointly held by them.

To the knowledge of the directors and executive officers of Obsidian Energy, no person or company beneficially owns, controls or directs, directly or indirectly, Shares carrying 10% or more of the voting rights attached to the issued and outstanding Shares.

Quorum for Meeting

At the Meeting, a quorum shall consist of two (2) or more persons either present in person or represented by proxy and representing in the aggregate not less than 25% of the outstanding Shares entitled to vote at the Meeting. If a quorum is not present at the beginning of the Meeting, the Shareholders present may adjourn the Meeting to a fixed time and place but may not transact any other business.

Approval Requirements

All of the matters to be considered at the Meeting are ordinary resolutions requiring approval by a majority of the votes cast in respect of the resolution by or on behalf of Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting, other than the advisory vote on Obsidian Energy's approach to executive compensation, which shall not be binding on Obsidian Energy.

MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON AT THE MEETING

Presentation of Financial Statements

The consolidated financial statements of Obsidian Energy for the year ended December 31, 2023, together with the auditors' report on those statements, have been mailed to the Shareholders who have requested such materials, in addition to this Information Circular, in accordance with applicable securities laws. A copy of such financial statements is also available through the internet on Obsidian Energy's SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca, on EDGAR at www.sec.gov, and on Obsidian Energy's website at www.obsidianenergy.com.

Appointment of Auditor

The Board recommends that KPMG LLP ("KPMG") be appointed auditor of Obsidian Energy for the ensuing year at a remuneration to be approved by the Board. KPMG has been the auditor of Obsidian Energy since August 23, 2021.

Shareholders will consider an ordinary resolution to appoint the firm of KPMG to serve as auditors of Obsidian Energy until the next annual meeting of the Shareholders. The Board of Directors and Management plan to vote FOR and recommend that you vote FOR this ordinary resolution at the Meeting.

Unless otherwise directed by the Shareholders appointing another proxy, the persons named in the enclosed Instrument of Proxy intend to vote IN FAVOUR of this ordinary resolution at the Meeting.

Election of Directors of Obsidian Energy

The articles of Obsidian Energy provide for a minimum of three (3) directors and a maximum of twelve (12) directors. There are currently seven (7) directors and the Board of Directors has fixed the number of directors to be elected at the Meeting for the ensuing year at seven (7) directors. All of the current directors have been elected for a term that ends at the close of the Meeting. Management does not contemplate that any of the director nominees will be unable to serve as a director but, if that should occur for any reason prior to the Meeting, the persons named in the enclosed Instrument of Proxy reserve the right to vote for another nominee at their discretion. Each director elected will hold office until the close of the next annual general meeting or until his or her successor is elected or appointed, unless his or her office is vacated earlier.

Management's seven (7) nominees for election as directors of Obsidian Energy by Shareholders are as follows:

The Board of Directors and Management plan to vote FOR and recommend that you vote FOR each of the aforementioned nominees for election as a director of Obsidian Energy at the Meeting.

Unless otherwise directed by the Shareholders appointing another proxy, the persons named in the enclosed Instrument of Proxy intend to vote FOR the election of each such nominee as a director of Obsidian Energy at the Meeting.

Information in respect of the nominees for election as directors of Obsidian Energy is set forth below under "Information Concerning the Board and Director Nominees-Biographical and Other Information for Director Nominees".

Individual Director Nomination and Majority Voting Policy

Obsidian Energy has a director nomination and majority voting policy providing for individual director nomination and majority voting. Such policy provides that in uncontested elections (i.e. elections where the number of nominees for directors is equal to the number of directors to be elected):

In accordance with this policy, the Instruments of Proxy and Voting Instruction Forms for this Meeting provide for voting for individual directors as opposed to voting for a slate of directors.

Advance Notice By-Law

The Board has adopted an advance notice by-law ("By-law No. 2"), which was approved by Shareholders at the Corporation's 2013 Annual General Meeting. By-law No. 2 sets forth procedures that must be followed by any Shareholder who intends to nominate any person for election as a director of the Corporation, other than pursuant to a proposal made in accordance with the ABCA, or a requisition of a shareholder meeting made pursuant to the ABCA. By-law No. 2 stipulates a deadline by which Shareholders must notify the Corporation of their intention to nominate directors and also sets out the information that Shareholders must provide regarding each director nominee and the nominating Shareholder in order for the requirements of By-law No. 2 to be met. These requirements are intended to provide all Shareholders, including those voting by proxy, with the opportunity to evaluate the nominees and vote in an informed and timely manner regarding said nominees. By-law No. 2 also ensures orderly and efficient shareholder meetings by providing a structured and transparent framework for nominating directors. No person nominated by a Shareholder will be eligible for election as a director of the Corporation unless nominated in accordance with the provisions of By-law No. 2. A copy of By-law No. 2 is available on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca) and on EDGAR (www.sec.gov).

Non-Binding Advisory Vote on Approach to Executive Compensation

As part of Obsidian Energy's ongoing commitment to robust governance practices, Shareholders are being provided an opportunity to participate in a non-binding 'say on pay' shareholder advisory vote with respect to Obsidian Energy's approach to executive compensation as disclosed in this Information Circular, particularly under the heading "Compensation Discussion & Analysis".

This non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation will provide Shareholders with the opportunity to vote "For" or "Against" our approach to executive compensation through the following resolution:

"BE IT RESOLVED THAT, on an advisory basis and not to diminish the role and responsibilities of the Board of Directors, the Shareholders accept the approach to executive compensation disclosed in the Information Circular of Obsidian Energy Ltd. (the "Corporation") dated March 15, 2024, and delivered in connection with the 2024 Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders of the Corporation."

As this is an advisory vote that is not required to be submitted to a vote of Shareholders under applicable securities and corporate laws, and therefore the results will not be binding upon the Board of Directors. However, the Board will consider the outcome of the vote in reviewing the Corporation's approach to executive compensation in the future.

The Board of Directors and Management plan to vote FOR and recommend that you vote FOR this non-binding advisory resolution at the Meeting.

Unless otherwise directed by the Shareholders appointing another proxy, the persons named in the enclosed Instrument of Proxy intend to vote FOR this non-binding advisory resolution at the Meeting.

STANDING COMMITTEE COMPOSITIONS

The following table identifies the Board's standing committees and their members as at March 15, 2024.

Notes:

DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

The Board is responsible for determining whether or not each director and director nominee is independent. In making this determination, the Board applies the definition of "independence" as set forth in National Instrument 58-101 Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices ("NI 58-101"). In applying this definition and these standards, the Board considers all relationships of the director and director nominees with Obsidian Energy, including business, family and other relationships. The Board also determines whether each member of Obsidian Energy's Audit Committee is independent pursuant to the requirements of National Instrument 52-110 Audit Committees.

The Board has determined that Mr. Loukas is not independent, as he is the President and Chief Executive Officer of Obsidian Energy. The Board has determined that all other directors and director nominees are independent under the standards of NI 58-101. In addition, all members of the Board's committees have been determined to be independent. All Audit Committee members have been determined to be independent in accordance with National Instrument 52-110 Audit Committees, and pursuant to the Audit Committee mandate.

The following table reflects the determinations made by the Board with respect to the independence of each existing director and each director nominee.

The Strategic Interlocking Board Memberships

As at March 15, 2024, none of the director nominees serve together as directors on the boards of other reporting issuers.

DIRECTORS' TERM AND RETIREMENT POLICY

The nominees for election as directors of Obsidian Energy, if elected, will serve until the close of the next annual meeting of Shareholders or until their successors are duly elected or appointed. Obsidian Energy's director retirement policy was amended on November 7, 2022 to raise the age limit to 73. This requires that each Non-Management Director, upon reaching the age of 73 (and annually thereafter), must offer their resignation as a director, following which the Board, after receiving the recommendation of the HRG&C Committee, shall determine whether to accept such resignation. None of the nominees for election as directors of Obsidian Energy are older than 73 years of age.

REMUNERATION OF DIRECTORS

OVERVIEW OF DIRECTOR REMUNERATION PROGRAM

The Board, through the HRG&C Committee, is responsible for developing and implementing the directors' compensation program. The main objectives of the directors' compensation program are to:

Unlike compensation for Obsidian Energy's executive officers, the remuneration plan for Non-Management Directors is not designed to pay for performance. As such, as of January 1, 2023, Non-Management Directors receive annual retainers for their services to help ensure unbiased decision-making (payment of meeting fees were terminated as of December 31, 2022). Share ownership, required through ownership guidelines, serves to align the directors' interests with the interests of the Shareholders. Consistent with this philosophy, Non-Management Directors are not eligible for RSUs or PSUs under the Award Plan, and do not participate in Obsidian Energy's Employee Retirement/Savings

Plan and to date, have not been allocated any options under the Stock Option Plan. In addition, Non-Management Directors participate in the DSU Plan pursuant to which they receive a portion of their compensation in the form of DSUs, which are not redeemable until after a Non-Management Director has retired from the Board. When redeemed, each DSU entitles the holder to a payment equal to the then current cash equivalent of the market price per Share, as calculated in accordance with the DSU Plan, thereby forming an additional alignment between directors' interests and remuneration and the interests of Shareholders and Shareholder returns. Management Directors (i.e. Mr. Loukas) are not eligible to participate in the DSU Plan. As noted above, the Board may grant Options as a component of compensation for key personnel, including Non-Management Directors in the future, provided that the total number of Options granted to Non-Management Directors will never exceed 1.0% of the outstanding Shares and the value of Options granted to any single Non-Management Director during a calendar year will not exceed $100,000. The Board believes that granting Options to Non-Management Directors within these limited parameters will create further alignment between directors' interests and remuneration and the interests of Shareholders and Shareholder returns.

Summary of the Non-Management Director Remuneration Program

The following table summarizes the fee structure for Non-Management Directors of Obsidian Energy effective January 1, 2023 and as at March 15, 2024.

Notes:

Management Director Compensation

Management Directors (currently being Mr. Loukas) do not receive any retainers, fees or other remuneration in their capacities as directors of Obsidian Energy. For information on the compensation received by Mr. Loukas in 2023 in his capacity as President and Chief Executive Officer of Obsidian Energy, see "Compensation Discussion & Analysis - Executive Compensation Data".

Procedure for Review of Director Compensation Program

The HRG&C Committee performs an annual review of Obsidian Energy's director remuneration program to ensure that such program continues to achieve the objectives listed above, as well as to assess the continued appropriateness of such objectives. The HRG&C Committee formulates and makes recommendations to the Board regarding the form and amount of remuneration for directors, and the Board establishes the form and amount of compensation for directors based on these recommendations.

On December 6, 2022, the Board approved an amendment to the Non-Management Director Remuneration Program, effective January 1, 2023, as set forth above.

DEFERRED SHARE UNIT PLAN

Under the DSU Plan, DSUs are granted by Obsidian Energy to Non-Management Directors, providing rights to receive, on a deferred payment basis, a cash payment based on the volume weighted average trading price of the Shares on the TSX for the five trading days immediately preceding the date of payment. Management Directors (i.e. Mr. Loukas) are not eligible to participate in the DSU Plan.

A director's remuneration that is required and/or elected to be received in the form of DSUs is referred to as "Deferred Remuneration". Obsidian Energy credits DSUs in respect of Deferred Remuneration to a director's account on the date that the director's Deferred Remuneration would otherwise be payable. The number of DSUs to be credited is determined by dividing the amount of the Deferred Remuneration by the volume weighted average trading price of the Shares on the TSX for the five trading days immediately preceding the date the DSUs are credited. DSUs are issued in lieu of cash payments to the director on the grant date.

Purpose of the DSU Plan: The purpose of the DSU Plan is to: (i) promote a greater alignment of interests between Non-Management Directors of Obsidian Energy and the Shareholders by providing a means to accumulate a meaningful financial interest in Obsidian Energy that is commensurate with the responsibility, commitment and risk of Non-Management Directors; (ii) provide a compensation plan that is competitive and rewards long-term success of Obsidian Energy as measured in Total Shareholder Returns for Obsidian Energy; and (iii) assist Obsidian Energy's ability to attract and retain qualified individuals with the experience and ability to serve as Non-Management Directors.

DSU Grants: In 2021, the DSU Plan provided that:

For information regarding the Share ownership requirements for directors, see "Remuneration of Directors - Director Equity Ownership Requirements".

Treatment of Dividends: When dividends are paid on Shares, additional DSUs are credited to a director's account as of the dividend payment date, based on the aggregate dollar amount of the dividends notionally payable in respect of such number of Shares as is equal to the number of DSUs credited to the director's account on the dividend payment date, divided by the volume weighted average trading price of the Shares on the TSX for the five trading days immediately preceding the dividend payment date.

Vesting: DSUs vest immediately upon being credited to a director's account.

Maturity Date for DSUs: A director is not entitled to receive payment of any amount for DSUs credited to his or her account until following that director's retirement from all positions with Obsidian Energy, or where a director has (except as a result of death) otherwise ceased to hold any positions with Obsidian Energy. Upon a director retiring or ceasing to hold any position with Obsidian Energy, all DSUs credited

to the director's account will be redeemed by Obsidian Energy as of the maturity date, being December 1st of the calendar year immediately following the year in which the retirement or cessation occurred or such earlier date following the retirement or cessation as elected by the director by notice to Obsidian Energy (either such date, the "Maturity Date"). Special rules apply with respect to determination of the maturity date for directors who are United States taxpayers or where the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, otherwise applies.

Payment on Maturity: A director is not entitled to receive any amount prior to his or her Maturity Date (as described above). Within ten calendar days following the Maturity Date, Obsidian Energy will make a lump sum cash payment, net of any applicable withholdings, to the director equal to the number of DSUs credited to the director's account as of the date of retirement or cessation, multiplied by the volume weighted average trading price of the Shares on the TSX for the five trading days immediately preceding the Maturity Date.

Payment on Death: If a director dies while in office or after ceasing to hold all positions with Obsidian Energy but before the Maturity Date, Obsidian Energy will, within 90 days of the date of death, make a lump sum cash payment to the director's legal representative in an amount equal to the number of DSUs credited to the director's account as of the date of death multiplied by the volume weighted average trading price of the Shares on the TSX for the five trading days immediately preceding the date of death.

Administration of the DSU Plan: Subject to the HRG&C Committee reporting to the Board on all matters relating to the DSU Plan and obtaining approval of the Board for those matters required by the HRG&C Committee's mandate, the DSU Plan is administered by the HRG&C Committee.

DIRECTOR EQUITY OWNERSHIP REQUIREMENTS

Obsidian Energy's director and executive equity ownership policy (the "Equity Ownership Policy"), which was last amended by the Board on March 6, 2018, provides that: (a) each Non-Management Director, other than the Board Chair, is required to meet and maintain ownership of a minimum value of Shares representing at least three times the Non-Management Director's total annual retainer within a period expiring at the later of March 6, 2021 and five years from the date they join the Board; and (b) the Board Chair is required to meet and maintain ownership of a minimum value of Shares representing at least three times the Board Chair's total annual retainer within a period expiring five years from the date of appointment as Board Chair. The table below summarizes the minimum Share ownership requirements applicable to Non-Management Directors.

In calculating ownership status, all Shares owned, directly or indirectly, by the director, as reported on SEDI, are included. In addition, any DSUs held by the director, are included in the calculation of Shareholdings, as reported on SEDI.

As at March 15, 2024, each director either: (a) holds, indirectly or directly; or (b) remains within the applicable period to accumulate; the requisite number of Shares as required under the Equity Ownership Policy. For more information regarding the Directors' equity holdings, see the table under

"Director Equity Ownership" below. For information regarding the minimum equity ownership requirements for Obsidian Energy's executives, see "Compensation Discussion & Analysis - Executive Equity Ownership Requirements".

Director Compensation Table

The following table and related notes disclose all amounts and forms of compensation provided to the individuals who served as Non-Management Directors of Obsidian Energy in 2023.

Notes:

Outstanding Share-Based Awards and Option-Based Awards

Applicable Canadian securities legislation defines a "share-based award" as an award under an equity incentive plan of equity-based instruments that do not have option-like features, including, for greater certainty, common shares, restricted shares, restricted share units, deferred share units, phantom shares, phantom share units, common share equivalent units and stock. As of January 1, 2011, Obsidian Energy adopted the DSU Plan, which allows for the grant of DSUs to Non-Management Directors of Obsidian Energy. DSUs fall within the definition of "share-based award". For more information regarding the DSU Plan, see "Remuneration of Directors - Deferred Share Unit Plan". Applicable Canadian securities legislation defines an "option-based award" as an award under an equity incentive plan of options, including, for greater certainty, share options, share appreciation rights and similar instruments that have option-like features. Obsidian Energy has not granted any "option-based awards" to our Non-Management Directors since 2007 but may in the future given the approval of the amended Stock Option Plan in 2020. The Board commenced the use of Option grants as a component of compensation for key personnel in 2021 and may elect to use them for Non-Management Directors in the future, subject to certain limitations.

The following table sets forth information regarding all share-based awards and option-based awards outstanding as at December 31, 2023 that were held by each individual who was serving as a Non-Management Director on such date.

OTHER BOARD INFORMATION

BOARD AND DIRECTOR PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT

The HRG&C Committee annually assesses the performance of the entire Board and each of the directors. To assist in this process, each year the HRG&C Committee makes use of one or more of the following, which are reviewed and, if necessary, revised, on an annual basis:

When completing the self-assessment skills/expertise matrix, each director is asked to indicate their self-assessment of expertise in the skill/expertise categories using the scale reflected below:

Typically, every member of the Board completes a Board performance assessment survey, the individual director peer feedback survey and the individual director self-assessment skill/expertise matrix. This approach allows directors to provide feedback regarding the effectiveness and performance of the Board, and to discuss the respective contributions and performance of each Non-Management Director based on a number of factors and characteristics. For 2023, the Board completed each of the surveys.

DIRECTOR ORIENTATION AND EDUCATION

Director Orientation Program

The Board provides new directors with director orientation materials consisting of various background documents of Obsidian Energy, provides access to all material corporate records, prior Board materials and the Board's manual. Obsidian Energy's director orientation program also includes a one-day session of management presentations and meetings providing specific information on various areas of Obsidian Energy's business and matters relating to the Board. New directors are also encouraged to attend committee meetings, regardless of membership, as part of their orientation process. The Board's strategy session also serves as a useful orientation tool.

Director Continuing Education

Obsidian Energy has adopted Governance Guidelines that provide that, among other things, with the approval of the HRG&C Committee or its designee, directors may, at the expense of Obsidian Energy, participate in continuing education programs that are designed to maintain or enhance their skills and abilities as directors or to enhance their knowledge and understanding of Obsidian Energy's business and operations. In addition to more formal continuing education programs, senior management strives to provide ongoing education and information for the Board, including the following:

In addition, all directors have a standing invitation to attend all committee meetings, regardless of membership, and are encouraged to attend at least one meeting of each committee per year.

BOARD MEMBERSHIP IN 2023

Seven (7) individuals served as directors of Obsidian Energy for the entire 2023 financial year, being Messrs. Brydson, Crossley, Faust, Kernaghan, Loukas and Ritchie and Ms. Bosman.

OTHER DISCLOSURES FOR DIRECTOR NOMINEES

To the knowledge of management of Obsidian Energy, no proposed director of Obsidian Energy (nor any personal holding company of any such persons):

except with respect to those Orders described at the end of this section;

To the knowledge of management of Obsidian Energy, no proposed director (or personal holding company of any proposed director) has been subject to:

On July 29, 2014, Obsidian Energy announced that the Audit Committee of the Board was conducting a voluntary, internal review of certain of Obsidian Energy's accounting practices and that certain of Obsidian Energy's historical financial statements and related MD&A must be restated, which might result in the release of its second quarter 2014 financial results being delayed (which ultimately proved to be the case). Furthermore, and in conjunction with the announcement, the Corporation advised that its historical financial statements and related audit reports and MD&A should not be relied upon. As a result, the Alberta Securities Commission issued a Management Cease Trade Order on August 5, 2014 (the "ASC MCTO") against, among others in management and the Board at the time, Mr. Brydson. On September 18, 2014, Obsidian Energy filed restated audited annual financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, restated unaudited interim financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, restated MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2013 and the quarter ended

March 31, 2014, and related amended documents. Obsidian Energy also filed its unaudited interim financial statements for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 and the related MD&A and management certifications on September 18, 2014. Following such filings, the ASC MCTO was revoked on September 23, 2014.

Mr. Gordon Ritchie was a director of Gemini Corporation ("Gemini"), a reporting issuer listed on the TSX Venture Exchange, from November 2012 to December 2016, and again from May 2017 to April 2018. In April 2018, Gemini's senior secured creditor ATB Financial applied to the Alberta Court of Queen's Bench for a receivership order, which was granted on April 19, 2018. FTI Consulting Canada Inc. was appointed as receiver and manager of all the company's current and future assets, undertakings and properties. The shares of Gemini were officially cease-traded on May 4, 2018 and all of the company's board of directors and officers resigned concurrently with the appointment of the Receiver.

Mr. Michael J. Faust was a Director and President and Chief Executive Officer of SAExploration Holdings, Inc. ("SAEX"), and a number of its subsidiaries, which, at the time a publicly-traded company on the OTC Markets Pink Open Market, and four wholly-owned subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code on August 27, 2020 (the "Restructuring"). SAEX and its subsidiaries continued to operate their businesses and manage their properties as debtors in possession and emerged from bankruptcy on December 18, 2020 further to the December 10, 2020 Confirmation Order entered by United States Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of Texas, Houston Division, approving the Debtors' Second Amended Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization. SAEX completed the Restructuring and emerged as a privately held company. Mr. Faust remains a member of the Board of Directors of this private company.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

OBJECTIVE OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION DISCLOSURE

The following disclosure is intended to provide insight into our executive compensation as a key aspect of the overall stewardship and governance of Obsidian Energy, and to help investors understand how decisions about executive compensation are made at Obsidian Energy particularly in the context of the Corporation's long-term strategy.

Shareholders have an opportunity to participate in a non-binding 'say on pay' advisory vote with respect to Obsidian Energy's approach to executive compensation, as disclosed in this Information Circular. This is just one way Obsidian Energy engages our Shareholders and seeks input on our compensation practices. Obsidian Energy regularly engages with and welcomes feedback from Shareholders on this and other matters and considers this feedback in determining appropriate executive compensation and pay for performance metrics going forward.

IDENTIFICATION OF NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

Obsidian Energy's Named Executive Officers ("NEOs") are the individuals who served as Obsidian Energy's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and the Corporation's three other most highly compensated executive officers in 2023. The NEOs and the positions held by each of them in 2023 are listed below:

APPROACH TO EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Obsidian Energy's executive compensation philosophy is to pay for performance. To that end, Obsidian Energy's total compensation program for executives is designed toward equity-based compensation, which inherently links a significant portion of each executive's compensation with Total Shareholder Return. The design also considers individual and organizational performance while striving for market-competitive pay and the ability to attract new and retain existing highly qualified and talented executives. Compensation practices, including the blend of base salary and short and long-term incentives, are regularly assessed to ensure that they are competitive, reflect appropriate ties to individual, business unit and organizational performance, and support Obsidian Energy's long-term strategies.

An important element of Obsidian Energy's compensation philosophy is a belief that employees at more senior levels of the organization have a greater degree of influence on both departmental and overall organizational performance. As a result, Obsidian Energy's executive officers, including the NEOs, have a greater proportion of their annual incentive awards based on organizational performance and success, while incentive compensation for employees at less senior levels has a more significant weighting on individual performance.

Executive Compensation Objectives

Obsidian Energy's total compensation program uses fixed and variable compensation, as well as employee group benefits, based on organizational and individual performance and marketplace peer practices.

The objectives of Obsidian Energy's total compensation program for our NEOs are as follows:

Executive Compensation Overview

The table below describes the elements of Obsidian Energy's 2023 executive compensation program:

Notes:

We continually look at our approach to executive compensation to ensure it is competitive with our industry peers and aligns the interests of management with those of Shareholders.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PEER GROUP AND BENCHMARKING

Each year, the total compensation for the NEOs is reviewed by the HRG&C Committee and compared to the total compensation for executives holding similar positions with members of a peer group of comparator organizations (the "Executive Compensation Peer Group"). In identifying the Executive Compensation Peer Group each year, emphasis is placed on Canadian-based organizations, specifically those operating within the exploration and production sector of the energy industry and exhibiting comparable size, operations, corporate ownership structure and business complexity, and with whom we compete for executive talent.

Based mainly on the above criteria, a peer group of entities is identified and compensation data regarding the comparator entities is used as a factor in the review and consideration of appropriate levels and composition of compensation for Obsidian Energy's executives.

Obsidian Energy targets total compensation for executive officers at the median of the Executive Compensation Peer Group and above for those who achieve superior individual performance and assist Obsidian Energy in achieving superior organizational performance. The HRG&C Committee uses data regarding the Executive Compensation Peer Group as a guideline and applies discretion in making compensation recommendations to the Board in conjunction with other considerations, particularly individual and organizational performance.

Following is the list of entities comprising the Executive Compensation Peer Group selected to assess Obsidian Energy's 2023 total compensation for executives:

In addition to the general considerations identified above, Obsidian Energy applied the following key principles when developing our Executive Compensation Peer Group for 2024:

In reviewing the Executive Compensation Peer Group for 2024, the Board determined that the following companies were no longer suitable and replaced them with more comparable organizations.

* Companies added to 2024 Executive Compensation Peer Group_

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION DECISIONS FOR 2023

Base Salary Decisions for 2023

Base salaries are reviewed annually by the HRG&C Committee, taking into account:

Annual base salaries are recommended by the HRG&C Committee and approved by the Board early in each calendar year.

The HRG&C Committee reviewed the annual total compensation for each of the NEOs, and based on Executive Compensation Peer Group data, market conditions and internal equity, recommended the changes in base salary for the NEOs noted below. The Board, including our independent members, approved these recommendations.

The following table reflects the 2023 base salary decisions of the Board with respect to the NEOs. Further information is provided in the "Summary Compensation Table" under "Compensation Discussion & Analysis - Executive Compensation Data".

Notes:

Cash Bonus Decisions for 2023

Each year, executive cash bonuses are independently reviewed and recommended by the HRG&C Committee and determined by the independent members of the Board, considering the following factors:

The HRG&C Committee and the Board exercise discretion in assessing overall performance to ensure that cash bonus awards are not unduly influenced by an unusual result in any one given area, and to allow for recognition of unanticipated results in areas that might not be reflected by the pre-determined corporate performance measures. Obsidian Energy's approach to cash bonuses for executives, with our relationship to overall corporate performance, emphasizes a "team" approach to success. Cash bonuses do, however, also reflect a consideration of individual performance.

Obsidian Energy's annual cash incentive plan rewards NEOs based on actual performance achieved versus the approved annual targets in each of the corporate and individual annual incentive plan components.

For the NEOs, corporate performance at target accounts for 75% of their STIP award and individual performance at target accounts for 25% of the STIP award. The maximum annual bonus potential is capped at 200% of the STIP target. The Board, upon the recommendation of the HRG&C Committee, can use discretion to increase or decrease the STIP awards in light of Obsidian Energy's actual performance for the year and any extenuating circumstances.

Measuring Corporate Performance

The HRG&C Committee sets financial and operational goals and measures early in the year based on business objectives, management's recommendations and market conditions. Each measure has a weighting and minimum (minimum level of performance required to be eligible for cash bonus), target and maximum (level of performance at which incentive award is capped) achievement levels.

Following the conclusion of the year, the HRG&C Committee assesses actual corporate performance based on performance outcomes and assigns a score for each measure. Based on such assessment, corporate component ranges from 0 to 150% of the STIP target.

Measuring Individual Performance

Individual performance is based on how well each NEO performs in their role and achieves goals set at the beginning of the performance year. The individual component ranges from 0 to 50% of the STIP target based on the assessment of individual performance.

Performance Assessment for 2023

In 2023, Obsidian Energy continued to focus on a culture of high performance and continuous improvement. The following table identifies the performance measures the HRG&C Committee and the Board used to evaluate and assess our corporate performance in 2023, and their assessment of how we performed in 2023 relative to these performance measures. The performance measures focused on four key areas - values, delivery, growth and relative share price performance. Each focus area includes key measures relevant to that area.

Notes:

2023 Cash Bonus Awards

The table below displays the cash bonus awards for the NEOs for 2023 performance as determined by the Board on February 21, 2024.

PSU, RSU and Stock Option Grant Decisions for 2023

In 2023, pursuant to the Award Plan and the Stock Option Plan, employees, including the NEOs, may be provided with an initial grant of PSUs, RSUs and Options, respectively, upon their commencement of service, as a competitive tool for employee attraction and retention as well as long-term incentive. PSUs, RSUs and Options may also be granted from time to time in connection with the promotion of an employee, including a NEO. Additional PSUs, RSUs and Options are also granted annually to certain employees, including the NEOs, as a long-term incentive and retention tool. These annual grants of PSUs, RSUs and Options are assessed by the HRG&C Committee each year beginning with a review of recommendations from management. In determining long-term incentive grants to NEOs, the HRG&C Committee and the Board consider market data from Mercer regarding anticipated awards by members of the Executive Compensation Peer Group under similar equity-based plans for similar executive positions and responsibilities, as well as overall corporate performance in the prior year and each executive's individual skills and capabilities. The HRG&C Committee and the Board also consider previous PSU, RSU and Option grants made to NEOs when considering new PSUs, RSUs and Option grants.

The mix of PSUs, RSUs and Options rewards executives for creating Shareholder value and achieving specific financial and operational results. NEOs will only realize value from Options when the share price exceeds the grant price over a sustained period of time. Any payout from the PSUs is dependent on successfully meeting shareholder return metrics relative to a peer group of companies over a three year period. Proceeds from the RSU grant will be directly linked to the share price at the time of vesting.

The PSUs, RSUs and Options granted to each of the NEOs are reflected in the following tables, as well as in the "Summary Compensation Table" under "Compensation Discussion & Analysis - Executive Compensation Data".

Notes:

Breakdown of Executive Benefits and Perquisites in 2023

All of our employees, including the NEOs, participate in a market competitive benefits program, which includes forms of insurance, extended health and dental coverage, short and long-term disability coverage, health spending account and emergency travel assistance.

The NEOs are offered a limited number of perquisites to maintain market competitiveness and to assist them in carrying out their responsibilities. These perquisites include parking and access to executive health medical services.

The table below reflects the breakdown of benefits and perquisites provided to the NEOs in 2023:

Notes:

Pension Plan Benefits

Obsidian Energy does not have a pension plan in which NEOs participate that provides for payments or benefits at, following, or in connection with retirement, such as a defined benefit plan or a defined contribution plan. Instead, Obsidian Energy offers contributions to the Savings Plan as described in the "Executive Compensation Overview". In addition, Obsidian Energy does not have any deferred compensation plans in which NEOs are eligible to participate.

2023 and 2024 Developments Relating to Mr. Loukas as President and Chief Executive Officer

Effective January 1, 2023, Mr. Loukas and Obsidian Energy entered into a new employment contract, whose terms were agreed to in October 2023, to continue Mr. Loukas' service as President and Chief Executive Officer through 2023 and 2024. The contract provided that:

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION REVIEW PROCESS

Role of the HRG&C Committee

The HRG&C Committee is responsible for assisting the Board in fulfilling its duties regarding employee and executive compensation matters. More specific responsibilities in the HRG&C Committee's mandate relating to compensation include the annual review and provision of recommendations to the independent members of the Board with respect to the following:

Composition and Independence of the HRG&C Committee

The current members of the HRG&C Committee as at March 15, 2024 are Messrs. Brydson, Kernaghan and Faust and Ms. Bosman.

The HRG&C Committee mandate requires that each member of the committee be independent in accordance with the definition of "independent" director in NI 58-101. All members of the HRG&C Committee in 2023 and as at March 15, 2024 have been determined by the Board to be independent directors within the meaning of NI 58-101. None of the members of the HRG&C Committee in 2023 and

as at March 15, 2024 is an officer, employee or former officer of Obsidian Energy or of any subsidiaries of Obsidian Energy.

Consistent with best practices, all of the committee members have experience in executive compensation by virtue of their experience as directors, former directors, senior officers or former senior officers of large public and private companies. The Board believes that the HRG&C Committee collectively has the knowledge, experience and background required to fulfill its mandate.

The HRG&C Committee formally met three times in 2023, held "in-camera" sessions with external advisors as required, and held "in-camera" sessions without the presence of management at the start and/or end of each meeting.

Role of Human Resources Management

In fulfilling its mandate, the HRG&C Committee receives information from Obsidian Energy's human resources management team ("HR Management"). HR Management prepares materials for the HRG&C Committee regarding the compensation of Obsidian Energy's executive officers. In addition, HR Management works closely with members of our senior executive team in developing compensation recommendations for executives, including the Named Executive Officers, and works with the HRG&C Committee Chair and the Corporate Secretary to plan HRG&C Committee meetings.

External Compensation Consultant

Since 2001, Obsidian Energy has retained Mercer (Canada) Limited ("Mercer"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. ("MMC"), as an external consulting company to provide advice and information in relation to the compensation of Obsidian Energy's executives and other employees, including peer compensation data. In 2022 and 2023, Mercer provided support to the HRG&C Committee to formulate compensation recommendations to the Board for Obsidian Energy's executives, including the NEOs, through the provision of benchmark market data, and attendance at a number of HRG&C Committee meetings as well as other discussions to review market trends and issues, including certain "in-camera" portions of meetings, as invited by the HRG&C Committee.

Neither the Board nor the HRG&C Committee is required to pre-approve other services that Mercer or its affiliates provide to the Corporation at the request of Obsidian Energy management. However, based on all of the factors relevant to Mercer's and the individual executive compensation consultant's independence from management as discussed above, the Board and the HRG&C Committee are satisfied that the advice received from Mercer and the individual executive compensation consultant is objective and not influenced by Mercer's or its affiliates' relationship with Obsidian Energy.

Fees Paid to Mercer and its Affiliates in 2022 and 2023

MANAGING COMPENSATION RISK

The Board has overall responsibility for risk oversight for Obsidian Energy, with a focus on the most significant risks facing Obsidian Energy, including strategic, operational and reputational risks. The Board conducts one or more strategic planning and review meetings with management per year, and a large component of each of these meetings is devoted to risk assessment and management. The Board's risk oversight process includes oversight of management's risk assessment and mitigation processes and is assisted by the work of the committees of the Board in carrying out their mandates.

The HRG&C Committee reviews strategic, operational and reputational risks in connection with compensation matters and considers the implications of each on our compensation program in making recommendations to the Board. These risks are managed by employing specific strategies aimed towards balancing and reducing compensation-related risks.

The main risk management strategies employed by the Board to manage executive compensation related risk are the design of the executive compensation program itself, which includes a balanced pay mix, incentives tied to the short, medium and long term, a long-term incentive program with a sizable stock component, quantitative and qualitative performance goals, the use of minimum Share ownership requirements for executives, and the adoption in November 2023, effective October 2, 2023, of a new policy called the Incentive Compensation Recovery Policy (the "Recovery Policy") which replaced the Executive Incentive Compensation Recoupment Policy (the "Recoupment Policy"), which was originally put in place in March 2015 and was last amended in March 2018. The Recovery Policy provides for the recovery of erroneously awarded incentive compensation in the event that Obsidian Energy is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirements under securities laws. The Recovery Policy is designed to comply with Section 10D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), related rules and the listing standards of NYSE AMERICAN or any other securities exchange on which the Company's shares are listed in the future.

At-Risk Compensation

The significant portion of Obsidian Energy's executive compensation being "at-risk" helps to discourage executives from taking inappropriate or excessive risks. In particular, the inherent alignment between executive interests and the interests of Shareholders offered by the equity-based compensation component of Obsidian Energy's compensation program limits circumstances in which executives might take inappropriate or excessive risks that would benefit their compensation at the expense of Obsidian Energy or our Shareholders. The vesting of Option, PSU and RSU awards over time further encourages executives to focus on Total Shareholder Return over the longer term.

In establishing compensation programs, one of the HRG&C Committee's objectives is to design programs that reward performance relative to industry peers and align the interests of Management with those of Shareholders. The HRG&C Committee seeks to achieve this objective by, among other things:

Executive Incentive Compensation Recovery Policy

Effective October 2023, we augmented our compensation risk management strategy with the adoption of the Recovery Policy (previously under the Recoupment Policy). The Recovery Policy applies to those individuals defined under the policy as "Covered Executives", but at the very least covers the President and Chief Executive Officer and all officers reporting directly to him or her (each a "Covered Executive" for the purposes of this section only), and provides that in the event that:

then the Board will determine and recover the Overcompensation Amount from the Executive. The Board shall recover any Overcompensation Amount in accordance with the Recovery Policy, except to the extent that certain conditions are met and the Board has determined that such recovery would be impracticable, all in accordance with Rule 10D-1 of the Exchange Act and NYSE American or any other securities exchange on which Obsidian Energy's shares are listed in the future. The full text of the Recovery Policy is available on the Corporation's website at www.obsidianenergy.com.

Anti-Hedging

Obsidian Energy directors, officers and employees may not knowingly, directly or indirectly: (a) sell a security of Obsidian Energy if they do not own or have not fully paid for the security; (b) buy or sell a call or put in respect of an Obsidian Energy security; or (c) purchase financial instruments (including prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, or units of exchange funds) that are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in market value of Obsidian Energy equity securities granted as compensation

or held, directly or indirectly, by the director, officer or employee. However, Obsidian Energy directors, officers and employees may sell a Share which they do not own if they own another security convertible into Shares or an option or right to acquire Shares sold and, within 10 days after the sale, they: (i) exercise the conversion privilege, option or right and deliver the Share to the purchaser; or (ii) transfer the convertible security, option or right, if transferable to the purchaser.

Executive Equity Ownership Requirements

Under the Director and Executive Share Ownership Policy, each executive of Obsidian Energy (including each NEO) is required to meet and maintain ownership of the applicable minimum value of Shares. On March 6, 2018, the Board decided to increase the shareholder requirements of the non-Chief Executive Officer NEOs to 2.0 times salary from 1.0 time. The NEOs will have five years from their appointment to their executive position to satisfy this requirement.

In calculating the value of Shares owned, all Shares owned, directly or indirectly, by the executive are included, including any Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of Options and not subsequently sold. Options held, but which have not been exercised, are excluded for the purpose of calculating the value of Shares owned. PSUs held by the executives are also excluded from the calculation. However, unvested RSUs (the total of which is less the anticipated tax withholdings based on using RSU vested shares to remit tax obligations) held by the executives under the Award Plan are included in the calculation.

The following table summarizes the Shares beneficially owned or controlled or directed, directly or indirectly, by each of the NEOs who were employees of Obsidian Energy as at March 15, 2024 (excluding any Shares purchased by the NEOs pursuant to the Savings Plan since December 31, 2023) and value-at-risk statistics for the applicable NEOs of Obsidian Energy as at March 15, 2024 (excluding the impact of any Shares purchased by the NEOs pursuant to the Savings Plan since December 31, 2023).

In each case it has been assumed that distributions and dividends paid have been reinvested.

Total Shareholder Return

Notes:

Obsidian Energy's HRG&C Committee reviews total NEO compensation with pay for performance in mind. Our total NEO compensation has generally been consistent with shareholder experience given that a large portion of it is tied to Share price performance. The increase from 2019 to 2020 is due to the departure of several executives throughout 2019 that resulted in less salary and bonus compensation for that year. In 2020 and 2021, the executive team was in place for the entire year and, therefore, received a complete year of compensation. The increase from 2021 to 2022 is primarily due to the grant date fair market value of the RSUs granted to Mr. Loukas in March 2023 as compensation for services rendered in the 2022 year, as such grant value is based on the share price at the time of the actual grant occurs versus when the terms of the deal were agreed to. The difference between the grant value at the time of grant and the value of the RSUs at the time the terms were decided is $1.46 million of increased grant value. Without such increased value, the total compensation for NEOs in 2022 would be consistent with 2021 total compensation. Due to the future vesting schedule of the RSUs, Mr. Loukas will not realize immediate value from these RSUs, and such future value will be based on the share price at the time of vesting. While the total reported compensation for NEOs was consistent for 2022 versus 2023, Mr. Loukas' total compensation for 2023 decreased by $380,000 compared to 2022, and would have decreased by another $240,000 had his 2023 RSUs and PSUs been granted at the same time as the other NEOs. Granting at the same time as the other NEOs would not have changed the number of units granted, but the reported fair value would have been reported to be less based on the Obsidian Energy share price at the time of the grant. Market increases to the remaining NEOs resulted in slight increases to long-term incentive grant values and higher 2023 cash bonus payments, which were also higher due to the 2023 corporate performance score of 142%, compared to 100% for 2022.

The increase in total reported compensation from 2021 to 2023 is, however, consistent with Obsidian Energy's cumulative Total Shareholder Return during that same period, when Obsidian Energy share returns have performed near or above the aforenamed market indexes.

SUMMARIES OF EQUITY COMPENSATION PLANS

EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT/SAVINGS PLAN

As of January 1, 2011, Obsidian Energy established an amended and restated Employee Retirement/Savings Plan (the "Savings Plan") for all employees of Obsidian Energy, including the NEOs, to provide a means by which employees can save for their retirement and at the same time, enhance and develop the interest of the employees in the growth and development of Obsidian Energy by providing them with the opportunity to acquire an increased ownership interest in Obsidian Energy through the purchase of Shares. Obsidian Energy does not have a pension plan for our executives or any other employees that provides for payments or benefits at, following or in connection with retirement. Instead,

the Savings Plan is offered as an alternative that Obsidian Energy believes is a competitive yet affordable means for Obsidian Energy to help ensure market competitiveness in the attraction and retention of talented executives and other employees. Based on publicly available data, Obsidian Energy believes that the total benefit to executives and other employees under the Savings Plan is competitive with total retirement benefits offered by organizations of the Executive Compensation Peer Group.

Under the Savings Plan, each employee may elect to contribute not less than 1% and not more than 10% of their base annual salary to the Savings Plan (the "Employee's Contribution"). For each one dollar ($1.00) contribution to the Savings Plan by an employee, Obsidian Energy contributes up to $1.00 on behalf of the employee ("Obsidian Energy's Contribution"). Each month, an independent trustee acquires, on behalf of the employee, Shares through the TSX using the Employee's Contribution and Obsidian Energy's Contribution for that month.

The Savings Plan also provides that an employee may elect to direct, in that employee's discretion, that the Employee's Contributions and related Obsidian Energy Contributions be deposited in an investment vehicle designated by Obsidian Energy, such as an investment savings account or money market fund to be administered by Obsidian Energy or our agent, rather than such contributions being used to acquire Shares.

The employer portion match is structured to include a minimum employee contribution of 2.5% (5% in the case of NEOs) to be allocated towards the purchase of Obsidian Energy Shares in order to obtain the full 10% employer match portion. If the minimum employee 2.5% (5% in the case of NEOs) was not met, the employer match portion would be to a maximum of 7.5% of employee salary.

RESTRICTED AND PERFORMANCE SHARE UNIT PLAN

The following is a summary of the Award Plan as of December 31, 2023 and as of the date hereof. No amendments were made to the Award Plan during 2023.

The Award Plan is meant to enhance the alignment of our executives' and other employees' interests with those of our Shareholders by providing an additional element of compensation based on the market performance of our Shares.

The purpose of the Award Plan is to promote a proprietary interest in the Corporation and greater alignment of interests between officers, employees and consultants of the Corporation and the shareholders, provide a compensation system for such officers, employees and consultants that are reflective of their responsibility and to assist the Corporation in attracting and retaining experienced individuals. The Award Plan is administered by the Board (which may delegate its authority to one of its committees), which has authority to interpret the Award Plan, including any questions in respect of any Share Unit Awards granted thereunder. The Share Unit Awards granted under the Award Plan are not assignable.

Under the Award Plan, Share Unit Awards may be granted in respect of Shares provided that the aggregate number of Shares reserved for issuance under the Award Plan does not exceed 4.5% of the aggregate number of issued and outstanding Shares.

Notwithstanding any other provision in the Award Plan, Share Unit Awards may be granted to officers, employees and consultants of the Corporation (each, a "Grantee") provided: (i) the number of Shares issuable to Insiders at any time, under all Security Based Compensation Arrangements, including

the Award Plan, shall not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding Shares; and (ii) the number of Shares issued to Insiders within any one year period, under all Security Based Compensation Arrangements, including the Award Plan, shall not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding Shares. As of March 15, 2024, the Corporation's issued and outstanding Shares were 77,435,491. Directors who are not employees of the Corporation or any affiliate of the Corporation are not eligible to receive Share Unit Awards under the Award Plan.

Share Unit Awards initially have a notional value equivalent to the value of a Share. RSU Awards vest on the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of grant, and are paid out within 30 days of the vesting date, unless otherwise determined by the Board at the time of grant, and subject to certain other events described below. No payment may be made upon settlement of an RSU Award on a date following December 31 of the third calendar year following the year in which the RSU Award was granted (the "Expiry Date"). Upon vesting, each RSU Award will be paid out at the election of the Board in cash, or by purchase of Shares or by the issuance of Shares. If paid out in cash each RSU Award will have a value equal to the weighted average Share price on the TSX for the five Trading Days immediately prior to the payment date multiplied by the number of Shares notionally underlying the RSU Award, as adjusted for dividends paid on the Shares while such RSU Award was outstanding. If the Board elects to pay out the RSU Awards by buying the Shares, Obsidian Energy will purchase the number of fully paid and non- assessable Shares underlying such RSU Awards, subject to adjustment for dividends, from the open market. If the Board elects to pay out the RSU Award in Shares, Obsidian Energy will issue the number of fully paid and non-assessable Shares underlying such RSU Award, subject to adjustments for dividends.

PSU Awards vest on the later of the completion of the Performance Period applicable to such PSU Award and the third anniversary of the date of grant of such PSU Award and are paid out within 90 days of the vesting date, unless otherwise determined by the Board at the time of grant and subject to certain other events described below. No payment may be made upon settlement of the PSU Award on a date following the Expiry Date. At the time of payout, the Board will apply a "Payout Multiplier" to a PSU Award which may increase or decrease the number of Shares notionally underlying such PSU Award. The Payout Multiplier may range from zero to 2.0 and will be based on Obsidian Energy's performance during the Performance Period.

Upon vesting, each PSU Award will be paid out in cash or Shares at the election of the Board. If paid out in cash, each PSU Award will have a value equal to the weighted average Share price on the TSX for the five Trading Days immediately prior to the payment date multiplied by the number of Shares notionally underlying the Share Unit Award, as adjusted for the Payout Multiplier and dividends paid on the Shares while such PSU Award was outstanding. If the Board elects to pay out the PSU Award in Shares, Obsidian Energy will issue the number of fully paid and non-assessable Shares notionally underlying such PSU Awards as adjusted for the Payout Multiplier and dividends paid on the Shares while such PSU Award was outstanding. In addition, the Board may elect to settle PSU Awards by purchasing Shares on the TSX and providing such Shares to the holder of such PSU Awards.

Under the Award Plan, in case of a Grantee's death, we will make a cash payment or issue Shares to such employee's legal representatives in respect of all Share Unit Awards held by the Grantee at the date of death (and all unvested Share Unit Awards will be deemed to have vested as of the date of death), and the Payout Multiplier applicable to any PSU Awards held by the Grantee at the time of death shall be determined by the Board in its sole discretion. In addition, if a Grantee ceases to be an officer, employee or consultant of Obsidian Energy due to a termination for cause or as a result of a voluntary resignation, all Share Unit Awards granted to such Grantee under the Award Plan will be terminated and all rights to

receive payments thereunder will be forfeited by the Grantee as at the date such Grantee ceased to be an officer, employee or consultant (the "Cessation Date"). If a Grantee ceases to be an officer, employee or consultant of Obsidian Energy due to a termination not for cause, all Share Unit Awards granted to such Grantee under the Award Plan which have not otherwise vested within 90 days following the Cessation Date will be terminated and all rights to receive payments thereunder will be forfeited by the Grantee. If a Change of Control occurs prior to the date on which the Corporation pays cash or issues Shares to the Grantee in respect of an outstanding Share Unit Award and the Grantee is terminated without cause in connection with such Change of Control or within six (6) months following such Change of Control, the Payment Date for all such Share Unit Awards held by the Grantee (regardless of whether the vesting date has occurred) shall be the Cessation Date and the Payout Multiplier shall be determined by the Board acting reasonably. Alternatively, if within six (6) months following a Change of Control, the Grantee voluntarily resigns for an event or events that constitute Good Reason, the Payment Date for all such Share Unit Awards held by the Grantee (regardless of whether the vesting date has occurred) shall be the Cessation Date and the Payout Multiplier shall be determined by the Board acting reasonably. All of these provisions are subject to any alternative arrangements that may be contained in a separate Share Unit Award Agreement or employment agreement between the Corporation and a particular Grantee.

If the Corporation completes a transaction or a series of transactions whereby substantially all of the Shares or substantially all of the Corporation's property or assets become the property or assets of another person (the "Continuing Entity") the Corporation and the Continuing Entity shall take all necessary steps prior to or contemporaneously with the consummation of such transaction(s) to ensure all Share Unit Awards remain outstanding following the completion of the transactions and the Continuing Entity will assume all covenants and obligations of the Corporation under the Award Plan, the outstanding Share Unit Awards and the Share Unit Award Agreements in a manner that preserves and does not impair the rights of the recipients in any material respect, and the Continuing Entity may exercise every right and power of the Corporation under the Award Plan, and Obsidian Energy shall be relieved of our obligations thereunder.

Pursuant to the terms of the Award Plan, the Board may, at any time, without the approval of the Shareholders suspend, discontinue or amend the Award Plan or a Share Unit Award made thereunder provided that unless a holder of Share Unit Awards otherwise agrees, the Board may not suspend, discontinue or amend the Award Plan or amend any outstanding Share Unit Award in a manner that would adversely alter or impair any Share Unit Award previously granted to such holder. Further, the Board may not, without the approval of the Shareholders, amend the Award Plan or a Share Unit Award to: (i) increase the percentage of issued and outstanding Shares that are available to be issued pursuant to granted and outstanding Share Unit Awards; (ii) increase the number of Shares that may be issued to Insiders of the Corporation under the Award Plan; (iii) permit non-employee directors to be eligible recipients under the Award Plan or in any other way permit non-employee directors to become eligible to receive Share Unit Awards under the Award Plan; (iv) extend the Expiry Date of any Share Unit Award granted under the Award Plan; (v) permit the transfer or assignment of Share Unit Awards; or (vi) amend the amendment provisions of the Award Plan.

DATA REGARDING OUTSTANDING SHARE UNIT AWARDS

The table below reflects the numbers of Share Unit Awards outstanding as at December 31, 2023 and as a percentage of issued and outstanding Shares.

STOCK OPTION PLAN

The following is a summary of the Stock Option Plan as of December 31, 2023 and as of the date hereof. No amendments were made to the Stock Option Plan during 2023.

Purpose: The Board believes that equity-based incentive compensation, such as the Stock Option Plan, is an integral component of compensation for directors, officers and other employees. The attraction and retention of qualified personnel has been identified as one of the key risks to Obsidian Energy's long-term strategic growth plan. The Stock Option Plan is intended to maintain Obsidian Energy's competitiveness within the Canadian oil and gas industry and facilitate the achievement of Obsidian Energy's long-term goals by providing an increased incentive for personnel to contribute to the future success and prosperity of Obsidian Energy and by strengthening the alignment of the interests of personnel with the interests of Shareholders.

Grants: The Stock Option Plan provides that any director, officer or other employee of, or person or company engaged by, Obsidian Energy or any of our subsidiaries or affiliates (each a "Service Provider") is eligible to participate in the Stock Option Plan and may be granted Options to purchase Shares from the treasury of Obsidian Energy from time to time thereunder, subject to the terms and limitations contained in the Stock Option Plan.

Restrictions on Number of Shares Issuable: The Stock Option Plan is administered by a committee of the Board comprised of one or more directors appointed by the Board to administer the Plan or, if no such committee is appointed, the Board (in each case, the "Committee"). The Committee may designate eligible Service Providers to whom Options may be granted and the number of Shares to be optioned to each, provided that the number of Shares to be optioned will not exceed the limitations set out below:

(Paragraphs (a) through (e) above are collectively referred to as the "Option Grant Restrictions".)

Any increase in the number of issued and outstanding Shares (whether as a result of the exercise of Options or otherwise) will result in an increase in the number of Shares that may be issued on exercise of Options outstanding at any time and any increase in the number of Options granted will, upon exercise, make new grants available under the Stock Option Plan. Options that are cancelled, terminate or expire prior to the exercise of all or a portion thereof will result in the Shares that were reserved for issuance thereunder being available for a subsequent grant of Options pursuant to the Stock Option Plan to the extent of any Shares issuable thereunder that are not issued under such cancelled, terminated or expired Options.

Vesting: The Committee may, in their sole discretion, determine: (i) the time during which Options will vest; (ii) the method of vesting; or (iii) that no vesting restriction shall exist. In the absence of any determination by the Committee to the contrary, the Stock Option Plan provides that Options will vest and be exercisable as to one-fifth of the total number of Shares subject to the Options on each of the first, second, third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the date of grant. The Board has determined that, until otherwise determined by the Board, Options will vest as to one-fourth of the total number of Options granted on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the date of grant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, at their sole discretion at any time or in the option agreement in respect of any Options granted, accelerate or provide for the acceleration of vesting of Options previously granted.

Change of Control: Notwithstanding any other provision in the Stock Option Plan or the terms of any agreement with a holder of Options, in the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the Stock Option Plan) and within one (1) year of the Change of Control there is an event or events that constitute Good Reason (as defined in the Stock Option Plan) for the Optionee, the Optionee shall have the right for a period of thirty (30) days following the event or events that constitute Good Reason to terminate their employment upon providing Obsidian Energy with two (2) week's advance written notice (the "Notice"). In the event the Optionee makes such election, all issued and outstanding Options will be exercisable (whether or not then vested) immediately prior to the time the Optionee provides the Notice and shall terminate on the 90^th day after the occurrence of such Notice except in the case of employees who have executive employment agreements, or at such earlier time as may be established by the Board, in their absolute discretion, prior to the time such Notice takes place.

Exercise Price: The exercise price of Options will be fixed by the Committee when Options are granted, provided that the exercise price of Options may not be less than the volume weighted average trading price of the Shares on the TSX for the five trading days immediately preceding the time of grant, calculated by dividing the total value by the total volume of Shares traded for the five trading-day period at the time an Option is granted (the "Market Price").

Term/Expiry: The period during which an Option is exercisable shall, subject to the provisions of the Stock Option Plan requiring or permitting acceleration of rights of exercise or the extension of the exercise period, be such period, not in excess of six years, as may be determined by the Committee, and in the absence of any determination to the contrary will be six years from the date of grant (the "Termination Date"). The Board has determined that, until otherwise determined by the Board, Options will be granted with a Termination Date that is five years from the date of grant. If the normal expiry date of any Options falls within any period of time when, pursuant to any policies of Obsidian Energy, securities of Obsidian Energy may not be traded by certain persons as designated by Obsidian Energy (such period of time, a "Black-Out Period") or within seven business days following the end of any Black-Out Period (such Options, the "Affected Options"), then the expiry date of all Affected Options will be extended to the date that is seven business days following the end of the Black-Out Period (or such longer period as permitted by the TSX and approved by the Committee). The foregoing extension applies to all Options whatever the date of grant and shall not be considered to be an extension of the term of the Options.

If permitted by the Committee, an Option holder may elect to exercise an Option by surrendering such Option in exchange for the issuance of such number of Shares as is equal to the number determined by dividing the Market Price (calculated as at the date of exercise) into the difference between the Market Price (calculated as at the date of exercise) and the exercise price of such Option. Upon exercise, the number of Shares actually issued shall be deducted from the number of Shares reserved with the TSX for future issuance under the Stock Option Plan and the balance of the Shares that were issuable pursuant to the Options so surrendered shall be considered to have been cancelled and available for further issuance.

An Option holder may make an offer (the "Surrender Offer") to Obsidian Energy, at any time, for the disposition and surrender by the Option holder to Obsidian Energy (and the termination thereof) of any Options for an amount (not to exceed the Fair Market Value of the Shares less the exercise price of the Options) specified in the Surrender Offer by the Option holder, and Obsidian Energy may, but is not obligated to, accept the Surrender Offer. If the Surrender Offer, either as made or as renegotiated, is accepted, the Options in respect of which the Surrender Offer relates will be surrendered and terminated upon payment of the amount of the agreed Surrender Offer by Obsidian Energy to the Option holder. For purposes of "Summaries of Equity Compensation Plans - Stock Option Plan", "Fair Market Value" means the weighted average of the prices at which the Shares traded on the TSX for the five trading days on which the Shares traded on the TSX immediately preceding such date.

Assignment: Options are not assignable by the Option holder either in whole or in part and, upon any purported assignment being made in contravention of the terms of the Stock Option Plan, such Options will become null and void.

Amendment Provisions: The Board may, by resolution, amend or discontinue the Stock Option Plan and any Option granted under it (together with any related Option agreement) at any time without Shareholder approval; provided however, that without the prior approval of the Shareholders (or such other approval as may be required by the TSX or such other stock exchange on which the Shares are listed and posted for trading), the Board may not: (i) increase the maximum number of Shares issuable pursuant to this Plan; (ii) reduce the exercise price of an Option or cancel an Option and subsequently issue the holder of such Option a new Option or other entitlement in replacement thereof; (iii) extend the term of an Option beyond the original expiry date of such Option; (iv) make an amendment to the Stock Option Plan or an Option that would permit an Option holder to assign or transfer an Option to a new beneficial Option holder, other than for estate settlement purposes in the case of the death of an Option holder; (v) make an amendment to the Stock Option Plan that would add to the categories of persons eligible to participate therein, including to permit Non-Management Director participation on a discretionary basis;

(vi) make an amendment to the Stock Option Plan to remove or amend the Option Grant Restrictions; or (vii) make an amendment to the Stock Option Plan to remove or amend the amendment provisions described above. Any amendment to the Stock Option Plan or to outstanding Options that requires approval of any stock exchange on which the Shares are listed for trading may not be made without the approval of such stock exchange. The Board may amend or discontinue the Stock Option Plan or outstanding Options at any time without the consent of an Option holder, provided that such amendment shall not adversely alter or impair any Option previously granted under the Stock Option Plan. The Committee may amend or terminate the Stock Option Plan or any outstanding Option at any time without the approval of the Shareholders or any Option holder whose Option is amended or terminated, in order to conform the Stock Option Plan or such Option, as the case may be, to applicable law or regulation or the requirements of any relevant stock exchange or regulatory authority, whether or not that amendment or termination would affect any accrued rights, subject to the receipt of the approval of that stock exchange or regulatory authority.

Termination/Death: Unless Obsidian Energy and an Option holder agree otherwise in an Option agreement or other written agreement (such as an agreement of employment or consultancy), each Option provides that:

It shall not be considered a termination of the Service Provider relationship if an Option holder is placed on a leave of absence ("Leave") which is considered by the Committee as continuing to maintain the Service Provider relationship. In such a case, the Service Provider relationship shall be continued until the later of: (i) the date when the Leave equals 90 days; and (ii) the date when an Option holder's right to re- employment is no longer guaranteed either by applicable law or by contract; provided that in the event that active employment or service provision is not renewed at the end of the Leave, the Service Provider relationship will be deemed to have ceased at the beginning of the Leave. If an Option holder takes a Leave for a period of time that is greater than 90 days, the Committee may, in their sole discretion, modify or change the vesting terms of any Options granted to such Option holder in order to take into account the period of the Leave.

Change in Structure: In the event: (i) of any change in the Shares through subdivision, consolidation, reclassification, amalgamation, merger or otherwise; or (ii) that, as a result of any recapitalization, merger, consolidation or other transaction, the Shares are converted into or exchangeable for any other securities or property; subject to any required approval of the TSX, the Board may make such adjustments to the Stock Option Plan and to any Options, and may make such amendments to any option agreements, as the Board may, in their sole discretion, consider appropriate in the circumstances to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights granted to Option holders andor to provide for the Option holders to receive and accept such other securities or property in lieu of Shares, and the Option holders will be bound by any such determination. If Obsidian Energy fixes a record date for a distribution to all or substantially all of the holders of the Shares of cash or other assets (other than a dividend in the ordinary course of business), subject to any required approval of the TSX, the Board may, in their sole discretion, but will not be required to, make an adjustment to the exercise price of any Options outstanding on the record date for such distribution and make such amendments to any option agreements to give effect thereto, as the Board may, in their sole discretion, consider appropriate in the circumstances.

Except in the case of a transaction that is a Change of Control (as defined in the Stock Option Plan), if Obsidian Energy enters into any transaction or series of transactions whereby Obsidian Energy or all or substantially all of the assets of Obsidian Energy and our subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis) would become the property of any other trust, body corporate, partnership or other person (a "Successor"), whether by way of takeover bid, acquisition, reorganization, consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement, merger, transfer, sale or otherwise (each a "Transaction"), prior to or contemporaneously with the consummation of such Transaction, Obsidian Energy and the Successor will execute such instruments and do such things as necessary to establish that upon the consummation of such Transaction the Successor will assume the covenants and obligations of Obsidian Energy under the Stock Option Plan and the option

agreements outstanding on consummation of such Transaction. Any such Successor shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of Obsidian Energy under the Stock Option Plan and Option agreements. Alternatively, and in lieu of making such provision, in the event of such Transaction (provided that if the Transaction constitutes a takeover bid, it (i) is not exempt from the takeover bid requirements of applicable securities legislation, and (ii) shall have been approved or recommended for acceptance by the Board) Obsidian Energy shall have the right to satisfy any obligations to the Option holder in respect of any Options outstanding by paying to the Option holder, in cash, and as proceeds of disposition for an Option holder's Options, the difference between the exercise price of all unexercised Options and the fair market value of the securities to which the Option holder would be entitled upon exercise of all unexercised Options. Any determinations as to fair market value of any securities will be made by the Committee, and any reasonable determination made by the Committee will be binding and conclusive and, upon payment as aforesaid, the Options will terminate.

DATA REGARDING OUTSTANDING OPTIONS

The table below reflects the numbers of Options outstanding as at December 31, 2023 and as a percentage of issued and outstanding Shares.

TERMINATION AND TERMINATION UPON CHANGE OF CONTROL BENEFITS

The following is a summary of the provisions of each contract, agreement, plan or arrangement that provides for payments to a Named Executive Officer at, following or in connection with any termination (whether voluntary, involuntary or constructive), resignation, retirement, a change in control of Obsidian Energy or a change in a Named Executive Officer's.

NEO AGREEMENTS

Obsidian Energy has entered into executive employment contracts (the "NEO Agreements") with each of its Named Executive Officers. The NEO Agreements continue in effect to and including the earliest of: (i) the date of voluntary retirement of the Named Executive Officer; (ii) the voluntary resignation of the Named Executive Officer; (iii) the death of the Named Executive Officer; (iv) termination of the employment of the Named Executive Officer by Obsidian Energy for cause; or (v) termination of the employment of the Named Executive Officer by Obsidian Energy other than for cause.

Definitions

For the purposes of the disclosure under "Termination and Termination Upon Change of Control Benefits", the following terms have the following meanings:

"Annual Bonus" means an amount equal to either: (i) if the NEO has been employed by Obsidian Energy for two (2) years or more as of the Termination Date, the average of the annual bonus received by the Named Executive Officer in the two (2) year period immediately prior to the Termination Date; or (ii) if the Named Executive Officer has not been continuously employed by Obsidian Energy for a period of two (2) years prior to the Termination Date, the average of the annual bonus received by the Named Executive

Officer during the Named Executive Officer's year or partial year(s) of service immediately prior to the Termination Date, and in the event that any such bonus was subject to a pro rata adjustment as a result of the Named Executive Officer working for a portion of the year in which the bonus award was made, such bonus shall, for the purpose of the calculation, be deemed to be equal to the annualized value of a full year bonus as if the Named Executive Officer had been employed for the entire year in which the bonus award was made; but does not include, in either case, any amounts related to awards under the Stock Option Plan, the Award Plan or any other long-term incentive arrangements put into place by Obsidian Energy.

In the case of Mr. Loukas, Annual Bonus means an amount equal to the annual bonus received by the Executive in respect of the calendar year immediately prior to the Termination Date but does not include any amounts related to awards under the Stock Option Plan, the RPSU Plan or any other long-term incentive arrangements put into place by the Corporation, or any retention award.

"Annual Compensation" means the sum of the Annual Salary plus the Annual Bonus (but does not include any amounts related to awards under the Stock Option Plan, the Award Plan or any other long-term incentive arrangements put into place by Obsidian Energy) plus an amount equal to 15% of the Annual Salary (representing a reasonable estimate of benefits and perquisites of employment) and an amount equal to the Corporation's contribution to NEO under the Savings Plan for the year.

"Annual Salary" means the Named Executive Officer's annual salary as set out in his or her NEO Agreement, and as adjusted from time to time.

"Board" means the Board of Directors of Obsidian Energy Ltd.

"Change of Control" has the meaning ascribed thereto in the Stock Option Plan.

"Constructive Dismissal" means unless consented to in writing by the Named Executive Officer, any action which constitutes constructive dismissal of the Named Executive Officer including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (i) a material decrease in the title, position, responsibilities, powers or reporting relationships of the Named Executive Officer; (ii) a reduction in the Annual Salary (excluding the Annual Bonus) of the Named Executive Officer, except where all senior executives of Obsidian Energy are subject to relatively similar reductions in their annual salary; (iii) a requirement to relocate to another city; or (iv) any other material reduction in the value of the Named Executive Officer's Annual Compensation, benefits, plans and programs (excluding the Annual Bonus, Award Plan, Stock Option Plan and any other long-term incentive arrangements put into place by the Corporation), except where all senior executives of Obsidian Energy are subject to relatively similar reductions in such value that is unrelated to a Change of Control.

"Good Reason" shall mean any adverse change by Obsidian Energy and without the agreement of the Named Executive Officer in the duties, powers, rights, discretions, responsibilities, salary, title or lines of reporting, such that immediately after such change or series of changes, the responsibilities, status and compensation of the Named Executive Officer, taken as a whole, are not at least substantially equivalent to those assigned to the Named Executive Officer immediately prior to such change or series of changes;

"PSUs" means any PSUs granted to the Named Executive Officer in 2019 and any years thereafter.

"RSUs" means any RSUs granted to the Named Executive Officer in 2018 and any years thereafter.

"Termination Date" means the Named Executive Officer's last day actively at work for Obsidian Energy, regardless of the reason for the cessation of employment.

Termination of Employment by Obsidian Energy Other than for Cause; Constructive Dismissal

Upon the termination of a Named Executive Officer's employment by Obsidian Energy as a result of Constructive Dismissal or other than for cause of the Named Executive Officer, the Named Executive Officer is entitled to receive a retiring allowance (the "Retiring Allowance") in the form of a cash payment equal to the product of a factor (being: 2.0 in the case of Mr. Loukas and 1.5 in the cases of each of the other Named Executive Officers) multiplied by the Annual Compensation of the Named Executive Officer, as at the Termination Date, less required withholdings.

In addition to the Retiring Allowance:

Termination Following a Change of Control

In the event of a Change of Control and provided the NEO remains employed with the Corporation on the date of such Change of Control, the Corporation shall provide the NEO with a cash payment in respect of all outstanding PSUs in respect of which payment has not yet been made to the NEO, conditional upon the Change of Control occurring, immediately prior to the effective time of the Change of Control, and the amount of the PSU award to be paid in respect of the outstanding PSUs shall be calculated in accordance with the Award Plan and the performance period shall end on the effective date of the Change of Control (or such other date as the Board determines) (collectively, the "PSU Award Payout").

If the NEO's employment is terminated without cause in connection with a Change of Control or within the six (6) months following a Change of Control, the payment date for all Share Unit Awards held by the NEO regardless of whether the vesting date has occurred, shall be the Termination Date and the

payout multiplier applicable to all such Share Unit Awards shall be determined by the Board, acting reasonably.

If within six (6) months of a Change of Control the NEO voluntarily resigns for an event or events which constitute Good Reason, the payment date for all Share Unit Awards held by the NEO regardless of whether the vesting date has occurred, shall be the Termination Date and the payout multiplier applicable to all such Share Unit Awards shall be determined by the Board, acting reasonably.

If there is a Change of Control and within one (1) year of the Change of Control there is an event or events that constitute Good Reason, the applicable Named Executive Officer shall have the right for a period of thirty (30) days following the event or events that constitute Good Reason, to elect to treat the event or events constituting Good Reason as a without cause termination, such election to be effective no less than two weeks after providing notice to the Corporation. In the event the NEO makes such election, the Corporation shall pay the NEO the Retiring Allowance, the Award Plan Payout and the other payments described above under "Termination of Employment by Obsidian Energy Other than for Cause; Constructive Dismissal". If the NEO makes the aforementioned election, the NEO has agreed that at the request of the Board, such NEO must continue his employment with Obsidian Energy for a period of up to six (6) months at the NEO's then existing compensation package to assist in an orderly transition of management.

Other Termination by the Named Executive Officer

Other than Mr. Loukas, each Named Executive Officer is entitled to terminate the Named Executive Officer's employment with Obsidian Energy at the Named Executive Officer's pleasure upon providing thirty (30) days' prior written notice to such effect to Obsidian Energy. In such event, the Named Executive Officer shall not be entitled to any further compensation except for earned and unpaid salary, Employee Retirement/Savings Plan contributions and vacation pay accrued and owing up to and including the Termination Date.

Confidentiality Provisions

The NEO Agreements contain provisions regarding the non-disclosure of confidential information relating to the business, corporate affairs and operations of Obsidian Energy and our affiliates. These confidentiality provisions survive for a specified period of time following the termination for any reason of a Named Executive Officer's employment, except in circumstances where such confidential information is or becomes known to the public other than by a breach by the Named Executive Officer of his NEO Agreement.

Services during a Change of Control

In the event that a person takes steps to effect a Change of Control which the Board considers, in their sole discretion, could in fact effect a Change of Control, or Obsidian Energy enters into any agreement to effect a Change of Control, each Named Executive Officer agrees in his NEO Agreement that he will not voluntarily leave the employ of Obsidian Energy or cease to be an officer of Obsidian Energy or its affiliates until the earlier of such time as: (i) that person has abandoned or terminated his steps to effect a Change of Control or the Board considers, in their sole discretion, that such steps will not in fact effect a Change of Control; (ii) a Change of Control has been effected; or (iii) such agreement to effect a Change of Control has been terminated.

Executive Incentive Compensation Recovery Policy

Each of the NEOs (collectively, the "Recovery Executives") has agreed to comply with the terms of the Recovery Policy and irrevocably authorize Obsidian Energy to deduct from each Recovery Executives' respective salaries, wages, vacation allowances, expenses reimbursements, severance and/or any other incentive compensation, all amounts relating to the portion of that Recovery Executive's incentive compensation (including bonus, Options, PSUs and RSUs) relating to the year(s) subject to a restatement of Obsidian Energy's financial statements due to our material non-compliance with any applicable financial reporting requirements (other than that caused by a change in applicable financial reporting requirements or applicable accounting rules or interpretations) which is in excess of the amount of incentive compensation that would have been computed in accordance with the results as restated under the restatement, all amounts shall be calculated without regard to taxes paid. The full text of the Recovery Policy is available on the Corporation's website at www.obsidianenergy.com.
