B. Business Overview Information regarding the business of the Company is included in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus under the sections titled Business of Hammerhead and
Certain Information About Hammerhead and Hammerhead Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, which are incorporated herein by reference. Hammerheads net present value of future net revenue (before income tax) for proved plus probable reserves as at December 31, 2021 was approximately
$2.6 billion (discounted at 10%). Since December 31, 2021, commodity prices have materially increased and had such higher commodity prices been in effect as at December 31, 2021, Hammerheads net present value of future net
revenue (before income tax) for its reserves would have been materially higher. In order to quantify the impact on Hammerheads net present value of future net revenue, Hammerhead obtained the forecast price and costs of Sproule, McDaniel and
GLJ as of January 1, 2023 for the future crude oil, natural gas and natural gas product prices (the Updated Pricing). Using the Updated Pricing, Hammerheads net present value of future net revenue (before income tax and
discounted at 10%) would increase from approximately $2.6 billion using December 31, 2021 forecast prices to approximately $3.8 billion using the Updated Pricing, representing a 46.2% increase. On February 23, 2023, the Company announced its production results for the month of January 2023, including average daily production of 40,308 boe per
day (consisting of 123,154 mcf/d of Shale Gas, 15,555 bbls/d of Tight Oil, and 4,227 bbls/d of NGLs). C. Organizational Structure The Company was formed by amalgamation on February 22, 2023 under the laws of the Province of Alberta and has one significant subsidiary, which is listed

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS The discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company is included in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus under the section
titled Hammerhead Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, which is incorporated herein by reference. The Company is currently planning and executing on over C$100.0 million of pipeline and facility expansions within both its North and South Karr area in
order to accommodate the Companys expected growth in production. In the North Karr location, the Company is planning to spend C$32.0 million to expand its current facility, which is expected to be completed and onstream by March of 2023.
As at September 30, 2022, the Company had incurred costs of C$14.9 million related to its North Karr facility. In South Karr the Company is planning to build a new facility. The project is estimated to cost C$61.0 million and is
targeted to be onstream by November of 2023. As at September 30, 2022, the Company had committed to approximately C$21.9 million and had incurred approximately C$6.2 million related to the new South Karr facility project.  I-3

The Company has embarked on a decarbonization investment campaign across its asset base with the
Companys CCS program. The program is expected to drive a reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 79% on an absolute basis and approximately 89% on a per boe basis by 2029, as compared to 2021 levels, assuming that each of
the Companys oil batteries are converted to CCS from 2024 through 2029. Prior to any construction or sequestration activity the Company must
receive final approval from the Alberta Department of Energy. The timeframe of approval is dependent on regulatory review and will be received by the second quarter of 2023 at the earliest. There is no guarantee that such approval will be received
on this timeline or at all. Presently the Company does not have the right to sequester carbon emissions nor is it authorized to generate credits or monetize the emissions sequestered. The key milestones of the project, once approval from the Department of Energy is received include, drilling a deep acid injection well and confirming
adequate injectivity, finalizing the design engineering and lastly obtaining final approval from the Companys board to proceed with the first battery pilot project. The Company plans to drill the injection well and finalize the engineering
designs during the latter half of 2023. Upon successful testing of the acid injection well, the Company will present the pilot project to the Companys board in order to obtain approval by the fourth quarter of 2023. Upon approval, the Company
will initiate construction of the pilot battery. Construction is planned for the first half of 2024. The Company expects to spend between $60.0 million to $75.0 million to build facilities, pipeline and disposal well assets at the pilot
battery in Gold Creek. The remaining capital will be spent in the following five years; to construct carbon capture and storage facilities on the Companys other four batteries. The total anticipated spend on the project is $240 million.
As at September 30, 2022 the Company has not incurred costs or signed contractual commitments related to the CCS program.  ITEM 6.

Plan as the New SPAC Board may, in its sole discretion, consider appropriate in the circumstances to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights granted to Participants thereunder and/or to provide for the Participants to receive and accept such
other securities or property in lieu of Shares, and the Participants shall be bound by any such determination. No adjustment shall be made with respect

be forfeited. If any Legacy Options may not be exercised due to any Black-Out Period at any time within the
three-business day period prior to the normal expiry date of such Legacy Options (the Restricted Options), the expiry date of all Restricted Options shall be extended for a period of seven business days following the end of the Black-Out Period (or such longer period as permitted by the Exchange and approved by the Committee). Cashless
Exercise Subject to the provisions of the Legacy Share Option Plan, if permitted by the Committee, an Optionee may elect to exercise a vested Legacy
Option by surrendering such Legacy Option in exchange for the In-the-Money Value of Legacy Option in lieu of purchasing the number of New SPAC Common Shares then
issuable on the exercise of the vested Legacy Option. If the Optionee so elects to exercise Legacy Option, the Optionee shall be entitled to payment of the In-the-Money
Value of the vested Legacy Option determined as of the Pricing Date. The In-the-Money Value shall be paid in New SPAC Common Shares issued from treasury with the number
of New SPAC Common Shares issuable being equal to the number obtained by dividing the In-the-Money Value of Legacy Options in respect of which such election is made by
the Current Market Price on the Pricing Date. Surrender Offer A Optionee may make an offer (the Surrender Offer) to the Company, at any time, for the disposition and surrender by the Optionee to the Company
(and the termination thereof) of any of Legacy Options granted under the Legacy Share Option Plan for an amount (not to exceed the Fair Market Value of New SPAC Common Shares less the exercise price of Legacy Options) specified in the Surrender
Offer by the Optionee, and the Company may, but is not obligated to, accept the Surrender Offer, subject to any regulatory approval required. If the Surrender Offer, either as made or as renegotiated, is accepted, Legacy Options in respect of which
the Surrender Offer relates shall be surrendered and deemed to be terminated and cancelled and shall cease to grant the Optionee any further rights thereunder upon payment of the amount of the agreed Surrender Offer by the Company to the Optionee.
The Company may, in its sole discretion, elect to allow an Optionee to claim such deductions in computing taxable income of such Optionee, if any, that may be available to the Optionee in respect of any amount received by the Optionee, provided that
the Company shall be under no obligation, express or implied, to make such election.  I-15

Alterations in Shares In the event: (a) of any change in New SPAC Common Shares through subdivision, consolidation, reclassification, amalgamation, merger or otherwise; or
(b) that any rights are granted to all or substantially all shareholders to purchase New SPAC Common Shares at prices substantially below Fair Market Value; or (c) that, as a result of any recapitalization, merger, consolidation or other
transaction, New SPAC Common Shares are converted into or exchangeable for any other securities or property; then New SPAC Board may make such adjustments to the Legacy Share Option Plan, to any Legacy Options and to any agreements for Legacy
Options outstanding under the Legacy Share Option Plan, and make such amendments to any agreements for Legacy Options outstanding under the Legacy Share Option Plan, as New SPAC Board may, in its sole discretion, consider appropriate in the
circumstances to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights granted to Optionees thereunder and/or to provide for the Optionees to receive and accept such other securities or property in lieu of New SPAC Common Shares, and the Optionees shall be
bound by any such determination. For greater certainty, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary to the foregoing paragraph, no adjustment shall be
made in accordance with respect to the issue of New SPAC Common Shares being made pursuant to or in connection with (i) any share option plan or share purchase plan, including the Legacy Share Option Plan, in force from time to time for
existing or proposed officers, directors, employees or Service Providers of the Company, or (ii) the issuance of additional New SPAC Common Shares pursuant to a public offering or private placement by the Company or a take-over bid or tender
offer made by the Company for the securities of another entity. Provisions Related to Merger/Sale etc. Except in the case of a transaction that is a Change of Control and to which accelerated vesting and termination of Legacy Options applies, if the Company
enters into any transaction or series of transactions whereby the Company or All or Substantially All of the Assets would become the property of another 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, prior to or contemporaneously with the consummation of such transaction, the Company and the Successor will execute such
instruments and do such things as the Committee may determine are necessary to establish that upon the consummation of such transaction the Successor will assume the covenants and obligations of the Company under the Legacy Share Option Plan
outstanding on consummation of such transaction. Any such Successor shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of the Company under the Legacy Share Option Plan with the same effect as though the Successor had
been named as the Company therein and thereafter, the Company shall be relieved of all obligations and covenants under the Legacy Share Option Plan and the obligation of the Company to the Optionees in respect of Legacy Options shall terminate and
be at an end and the Optionees shall cease to have any further rights in respect thereof including, without limitation, any right to acquire New SPAC Common Shares upon vesting of Legacy Options. Termination of Option Notwithstanding any other
provision in the Legacy Share Option Plan or the terms of any option agreement, if there takes place a Change of Control, all issued and outstanding Legacy Options shall terminate on the 90th day
after the occurrence of such Change of Control, or at such earlier time as may be established by the New SPAC Board, in its absolute discretion, prior to the time such Change of Control takes place. Amendments The Committee may, subject to any required
approval of any Exchange, amend or discontinue the Legacy Share Option Plan and Legacy Options granted thereunder at any time without the approval of the shareholders of the Company or any Optionee whose Legacy Option is amended or terminated,
provided  I-16

that, subject to the terms of the Legacy Share Option Plan, no amendment to the Legacy Share Option Plan or
Legacy Options granted pursuant to the Legacy Share Option Plan may be made without the consent of the Optionee, if it adversely alters or impairs any Legacy Option previously granted to such Optionee under the Legacy Share Option Plan. Without
limitation of the foregoing, such amendments include, without limitation: (a) amendments of a housekeeping nature nature, including, without limitation, amending the wording of any provision of the Legacy Share Option Plan for the
purpose of clarifying the meaning of existing provisions or to correct or supplement any provision of the Legacy Share Option Plan that is inconsistent with any other provision of the Legacy Share Option Plan, correcting grammatical or typographical
errors and amending the definitions contained within the Legacy Share Option Plan respecting the administration of the Legacy Share Option Plan; (b) amending Legacy Options under the Legacy Share Option Plan, including with respect to the
expiry date (provided that the term of the Legacy Option does not exceed fifteen years from the date the Legacy Option is granted and that such Legacy Option is not held by an Insider) and effect of termination of a Optionees employment or
cessation of the Optionees service; or (c) amendments necessary to comply with applicable law or the requirements of any Exchange. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Legacy Share Option Plan or any outstanding Legacy Option granted
thereunder may not be amended without shareholder approval to:  (a)
permit Legacy Options to be issued other than pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement;  (b)
increase the number of New SPAC Common Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to Legacy Options in excess of the
limit prescribed in the Legacy Share Option Plan;  (c)
extend the expiry date of any Legacy Option granted to an Insider (other than as permitted by the terms and
conditions of the Legacy Share Option Plan );  (d)
permit an Optionee to transfer Legacy Options to a new beneficial holder other than for estate settlement
purposes;  (e)
reduce the limitations on Legacy Options contained in the Legacy Share Option Plan; and  (f)
change the Legacy Share Option Plan to modify or delete any of the above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may amend or terminate the Legacy Share Option Plan or any outstanding Legacy Option granted under the Legacy
Share Option Plan at any time without the approval of the shareholders of the Company or any Optionee whose Legacy Option is amended or terminated in order to conform the Legacy Share Option Plan or such Legacy 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 or adversely alter or impair any Legacy Option previously granted. The following table sets forth the aggregate number of outstanding Legacy Options and Legacy RSUs that are outstanding under the Legacy Plans upon
completion of the Business Combination.  I-17

Award Plan) and an equity incentive share option plan (the New SPAC Share Option Plan and together with the New SPAC Equity Incentive Award Plan, the New SPAC Incentive Plans) in order to facilitate the grant of equity
incentive awards to directors, employees (including executive officers) and consultants of the Company and certain of its affiliates and to enable the Company to obtain and retain the services of these individuals, which is essential to the
Companys long-term success. A third party compensation consulting advisor was engaged to review executive and director compensation plans including the New SPAC Incentive Plans. The New SPAC Incentive Plans became effective immediately
following the SPAC Amalgamation Effective Time, and are, along with any grants made thereunder, subject to the ratification by the Companys shareholders at the Companys annual general meeting to be held in 2023. The relevant terms of the
New SPAC incentive plans are summarized below.  I-18

To the extent permitted by law, the Committee may delegate or
sub-delegate to one or more of its members, to any director or officer of the Company or to one or more agents all or any of the powers conferred on the Committee under the New SPAC Equity Incentive Award
Plan, and the Committee or any person to whom it has delegated or sub-delegated authority as aforesaid may employ one or more persons to render advice with respect to any responsibility the Committee or such
person may have under the New SPAC Equity Incentive Award Plan. For greater certainty and without limiting the discretion conferred on the Committee
pursuant to the New SPAC Equity Incentive Award Plan, the Committees decision to approve the grant of an Award in any period shall not require the Committee to approve the grant of an Award to any Service Provider in any other period; nor
shall the Committees decision with respect to the size or terms and conditions of an Award in any period require it to approve the grant of an Award of the same or similar size or with the same or similar terms and conditions to any Service
Provider in any other period. The Committee shall not be precluded from approving the grant of an Award to any Service Provider solely because such Service Provider may previously have been granted an Award under the New SPAC Equity Incentive Award
Plan or any other similar compensation arrangement of the Company or a member of the HEI Group. There is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Service Providers or Participants under the New SPAC Equity Incentive Award Plan. The terms and
conditions of Awards need not be the same with respect to any Participant or with respect to different Participants. No Service Provider has any claim or right to be granted an Award. Granting of Awards Each Award granted under the New SPAC
Equity Incentive Award Plan shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the New SPAC Equity Incentive Award Plan and evidenced by a written agreement between the Company and the Participant (an Incentive Award Agreement in the
case of an Incentive Award and a Share Award Agreement in the case of a Share Award) which agreement shall comply with, and be subject to, the requirements of the Exchange. Dividend Equivalents At the discretion of the Board, the
New SPAC Equity Incentive Award Plan provides for cumulative adjustments to the number of Shares to be issued pursuant to Awards on each date that dividends are paid on the Shares by an amount equal to a fraction having as its numerator the amount
of the dividend per Share and having as its denominator the price, expressed as an amount per Share, paid by participants in the Companys Dividend Reinvestment Plan, if any, to reinvest their dividends in additional Shares on the applicable
dividend payment date, provided that if the Company has suspended the operation of such plan or does not have such a plan, then the reinvestment price shall be equal to the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the trading day immediately preceding the
dividend payment date. Under the New SPAC Equity Incentive Award Plan, in the case of a non-cash dividend, including Shares or other securities or property, the Committee will, in its sole discretion and
subject to the approval of the Exchange, determine whether or not such non-cash dividend will be provided to the Participant and, if so provided, the form in which it shall be provided. Vesting Pursuant to the terms of the New SPAC Equity
Incentive Award Plan, the Restricted Awards and the Performance Awards shall vest at the end of their three-year terms, respectively. Limits on
Issuances Notwithstanding any other provisions of the New SPAC Equity Incentive Award Plan, the aggregate number of Shares reserved for issuance from
time to time pursuant to Awards granted and outstanding thereunder at any time, and the aggregate number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to Awards granted thereunder, shall not exceed 2,826,350 Shares. This prescribed maximum may be
subsequently increased to any specified amount, provided the increase is authorized by a vote of the Shareholders.  I-22

If any Award granted under the New SPAC Equity Incentive Award Plan shall expire, terminate or be cancelled
for any reason without the Shares issuable thereunder having been issued in full, any unissued Shares to which such Award relates shall be available for the purposes of the granting of further Awards under the New SPAC Equity Incentive Award Plan. The aggregate number of Shares issuable pursuant to Awards granted to any single Service Provider shall not exceed 5% of the issued and outstanding
Shares, calculated on an undiluted basis and assuming all Awards will be settled in Shares. In addition: (i) the number of Shares issuable to insiders at any time, under all security based compensation arrangements of the Company, 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 of the Company, shall not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding
Shares. Share Award Terms The Company may grant
Restricted Awards and Performance Awards that, at the option of the Company, either: (a) entitle the holder on vesting to be issued the number of Shares designated in the Restricted Award or Performance Award, as applicable; or (b) entitle
the holder on vesting to receive an amount equal to the value of the Restricted Award or Performance Award, as applicable, (being an amount equal to the number of Awards multiplied by the Fair Market Value of the Shares), which amount will in the
sole and absolute discretion of the Company (and without the consent of the Participant), be settled in (i) cash, (ii) Shares acquired by the Company on the Exchange, (iii) Shares issued from the treasury of the Company, or (iv) any
combination of the foregoing. In the case of Performance Awards, the number of Shares issuable or the value of the Award, as applicable, is multiplied by a payout multiplier. The payout multiplier is determined by the Committee based on an
assessment of the achievement of pre-defined corporate performance measures in respect of the applicable period as determined by the Committee. The payout multiplier may not be less than 0% or more than 200%. Exercise of Share Awards A Participant may elect to
exercise Share Awards at any time and from time to time from and including the day the Vesting Date in respect of such Share Awards occurs until the Expiry Date of such Share Awards, by delivering to the Company a duly completed and executed
Exercise Notice; provided, that no Participant who is resident in the United States may exercise Share Awards unless the Shares issuable by the Company upon such exercise are registered under the U.S. Securities Act or are issued in compliance with
an available exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act. If any Share Award may not be exercised due to any Black-Out Period at any time within the three business day period prior
to the Expiry Date of such Share Award the Expiry Date of all such Share Awards shall be extended for a period of seven business days following the end of the Black-Out Period (or such longer period as
permitted by the Exchange and approved by the Committee). Black-out Periods If a Participant is prohibited from trading in securities of the Company as a result of the imposition by the Company of a trading blackout (a Blackout
Period) and the issue or payment date of the Shares underlying an Award held by such Participant falls within the Blackout Period, then the issue or payment date of such Shares shall be extended to the date that is seven business days
following the end of such Blackout Period; provided that if the expiry date of the Awards would occur as a result of such extension, the Awards will be settled on the expiry date in cash rather than Shares.  I-23

Merger and Sale, etc. If the Company enters into any transaction or series of transactions, other than a transaction that is a Change of Control and whereby the Company or All or
Substantially All of the Assets 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, then prior to or contemporaneously with the consummation of such transaction: (a) the Company and the Successor will execute such instruments and do such things as the Committee may determine
are necessary to establish that upon the consummation of such transaction the Successor will have assumed the covenants and obligations of the Company under the New SPAC Equity Incentive Award Plan and the Award Agreements outstanding on
consummation of such transaction and such Successor shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under the New SPAC Equity Incentive Award Plan and such Award Agreements with the same effect as
though the Successor had been named as the Company in the New SPAC Equity Incentive Award Plan and therein and thereafter, the Company shall be relieved of all obligations and covenants under the New SPAC Equity Incentive Award Plan and such Award
Agreements and the obligation of the Company to the Participants in respect of the Awards shall terminate and be at an end and the Participants shall cease to have any further rights in respect thereof including, without limitation, any right to
acquire or receive Shares on the Vesting Date(s) applicable to such Awards; or (b) if the Awards (and the covenants and obligations of the Company under the New SPAC Equity Incentive Award Plan and the Award Agreements outstanding on
consummation of such transaction) are not so assumed by the Successor, then the Vesting Date for all Shares awarded pursuant to such Awards that have not yet been issued as of such time shall be the date which is immediately prior to the date upon
which the transaction is consummated. Change of Control In the event (a) of any change in the Shares through subdivision, consolidation, reclassification, amalgamation, merger or otherwise; (b) that any
rights are granted to all Shareholders to purchase Shares at prices substantially below Fair Market Value; or (c) that, as a result of any recapitalization, merger, consolidation or other transaction, the Shares are converted into or
exchangeable for any other securities, then, in any such case, the Board may, subject to any required approval of the Exchange, make such adjustments to the New SPAC Equity Incentive Award Plan , to any Awards and to any Award Agreements outstanding
under the New SPAC Equity Incentive Award Plan as the Board may, in its sole discretion, consider appropriate in the circumstances to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights granted to Participants thereunder. Agreement to be Bound If a Participant fails to
acknowledge an Award by acceptance of the Award Agreement within the time specified by the Committee, the Company reserves the right to revoke the Award. Participation in the New SPAC Equity Incentive Award Plan by any Participant shall be construed
as irrevocable acceptance by the Participant of the terms and conditions set out in the New SPAC Equity Incentive Award Plan and all rules and procedures adopted thereunder and as amended from time to time. Amendment and Termination of Plan The New SPAC Equity
Incentive Award Plan and any Awards granted pursuant to the New SPAC Equity Incentive Award Plan may, subject to any required approval of the Exchange, be amended, modified or terminated by the Board without the approval of Shareholders. Without
limitation of the foregoing, such amendments include, without limitation: (a) amendments of a housekeeping nature, including, without limitation, amending the wording of any provision of the New SPAC Equity Incentive Award Plan for
the purpose of clarifying the meaning of existing provisions or to correct or supplement any provision of the New SPAC Equity Incentive Award Plan that is inconsistent with any other provision of the New SPAC Equity Incentive Award Plan, correcting
grammatical or typographical errors and amending the definitions contained within the New SPAC Equity Incentive Award Plan respecting the administration of the New SPAC Equity Incentive Award Plan; (b) amending Awards under the New SPAC Equity

Service Provider means an officer or employee of, or a person or company engaged by, one or more
of the entities comprising the HEI Group to provide services to an entity within the HEI Group. Purpose and Administration The purpose of the New SPAC Share Option Plan is to aid in attracting, retaining and motivating the officers, employees and other eligible Service Providers of
the HEI Group in the growth and development of the HEI Group by providing them with the opportunity through Options to acquire an increased proprietary interest in the Company. The New SPAC Share Option Plan is administered by a committee of the New SPAC Board appointed from time to time by New SPAC Board to administer New SPAC Share
Option Plan or, if no such committee is appointed, New SPAC Board (the Committee) pursuant to any rules of procedure that may be fixed by New SPAC Board. To the extent permitted by law, the Committee may delegate or sub-delegate to one or more of its members, to any director or officer of the Company or to one or more agents all or any of the powers conferred on the Committee under the New SPAC Share Option Plan, and the
Committee or any person to whom it has delegated or sub-delegated authority as aforesaid may employ one or more persons to render advice with respect to any responsibility the Committee or such person may have
under the New SPAC Share Option Plan. For greater certainty and without limiting the discretion conferred on the Committee pursuant to the New SPAC Share
Option Plan, the Committees decision to approve the grant of a New SPAC Option in any period shall not require the Committee to approve the grant of a New SPAC Option to any Service Provider in any other period; nor shall the Committees
decision with respect to the size or terms and conditions of a New SPAC Option grant in any period require it to approve the grant of a New SPAC Option of the same or similar size or with the same or similar terms and conditions to any Service
Provider in any other period. The Committee shall not be precluded from approving the grant of a New SPAC Option to any Service Provider solely because such Service Provider may previously have been granted a New SPAC Option under the New SPAC Share
Option Plan or any other similar compensation arrangement of the Company or a member of the HEI Group. There is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Service Providers or Optionees under the New SPAC Share Option Plan. The terms and
conditions of New SPAC Options need not be the same with respect to any Optionee or with respect to different Optionees. No Service Provider has any claim or right to be granted a New SPAC Option. Granting of New SPAC Options The Committee may from time
to time designate officers and employees of, and other eligible Service Providers to, the HEI Group to whom New SPAC Options may be granted and the number of New SPAC Common Shares to be optioned to each, provided that the number of New SPAC Common
Shares to be optioned shall not exceed the limitations provided. Limitations to New SPAC Share Option Plan Notwithstanding any other provision of the New SPAC Share Option Plan: (a) the maximum number of New SPAC Common Shares that may be issued on exercise of
New SPAC Options under the New SPAC Share Option Plan shall be limited to 250,000 New SPAC Common Shares; (b) no one Service Provider may be granted any New SPAC Option which, together with all New SPAC Options then held by such Optionee, would
entitle such Optionee to receive a number of New SPAC Common Shares which is greater than 5% of the outstanding New SPAC Common Shares, calculated on an undiluted basis; (c) the number of New SPAC Common Shares (i) issued to Insiders of
the Company, within any one year period; and (ii) issuable to Insiders of the Company, at any time; under the New SPAC Share Option Plan, or when combined with all of the Companys other security based compensation arrangements shall not
exceed 10% of the Companys total issued and outstanding New SPAC Common Shares, respectively. For this purpose, security based compensation arrangements has the meaning ascribed thereto in Part VI of the TSX Company Manual.  I-28

New SPAC Options that are cancelled, surrendered, terminated or expire prior to the exercise of all or a
portion thereof shall result in the New SPAC Common Shares that were reserved for issuance thereunder being available for a subsequent grant of New SPAC Options pursuant to the New SPAC Share Option Plan to the extent of any New SPAC Common Shares
issuable thereunder that are not issued under such cancelled, surrendered, terminated or expired New SPAC Options. Vesting The Committee may, in its sole discretion, determine: (i) the time during which New SPAC Options shall 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, New SPAC Options will vest and be exercisable as to one-quarter (1/4) of the total
number of New SPAC Common Shares subject to the New SPAC Options on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the date of grant (computed in each case rounded down to the nearest whole New SPAC Common Share with any fractional
amount vesting on such fourth anniversary) subject to continued employment or service with the HEI Group. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, at its sole discretion at any time or in the option agreement in respect of any New SPAC
Options granted, accelerate or provide for the acceleration of vesting of New SPAC Options previously granted. New SPAC Option Price The exercise price of New SPAC Options granted under the New SPAC Share Option Plan shall be fixed by the Committee when such New SPAC Options are granted,
provided that the exercise price of New SPAC Options shall not be less than such minimum price as may be required by the Exchange, if any, on which the New SPAC Common Shares are listed at the time of grant. New SPAC Option Terms The period during which a New SPAC
Option is exercisable shall, subject to the provisions of the New SPAC Share Option Plan requiring or permitting the acceleration of rights of exercise or the extension of the exercise period, be such period, not in excess of fifteen years, as may
be determined from time to time by the Committee, but subject to the rules of any Exchange(s) or other regulatory body having jurisdiction, and in the absence of any determination to the contrary will be five years from the date of grant. Each New
SPAC Option shall, among other things, contain provisions to the effect that New SPAC Option shall be personal to the Optionee and shall not be assignable. In addition, unless the Company and an Optionee agree otherwise in an agreement for New SPAC
Options or other written agreement (such as an agreement of employment or a retirement agreement), each New SPAC Option shall provide that:  (a)
upon the death of the Optionee, the New SPAC Option shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the date
determined by the Committee which shall not be more than 12 months from the Cessation Date and, in the absence of any determination to the contrary, 12 months from the Cessation Date and (ii) the Expiry Date of such New SPAC Option;  (b)
if the Optionee shall no longer be an officer of or be in the employ of, or consultant or other Service
Provider to, any of the entities comprising the HEI Group (other than by reason of death or termination for Cause, voluntary resignation or retirement), the New SPAC Option shall terminate on the earlier of (i) expiry of the period as
prescribed by the Committee at the time of grant, following the Cessation Date; and, in the absence of any determination to the contrary, at the later of (A) ninety (90) days following the Cessation Date, and (B) the end of the notice
period used for calculating severance to which the Optionee is entitled as a result of the Optionees cessation as a Service Provider pursuant to a written contract of employment, if any, with an entity in the HEI Group; and (ii) the
Expiry Date of such New SPAC Option;  I-29

##### Table of Contents

(c)
if the Optionee shall no longer be an officer of or be in the employ of, or consultant or other Service
Provider to, any of the entities comprising the HEI Group by reason of termination for Cause, the New SPAC Option shall terminate immediately on the Cessation Date (whether notice of such termination occurs verbally or in writing);  (d)
if the Optionee shall no longer be an officer of or be in the employ of, or consultant or other Service
Provider to, any of the entities comprising the HEI Group by reason of voluntary resignation, effective as of the day that is 14 days after the Cessation Date the New SPAC Option shall terminate; and  (e)
if the Optionee shall no longer be an officer of or be in the employ of any of the entities comprising of the
HEI Group due to the Optionees retirement, New SPAC Option shall continue in accordance with its terms and the exercise period shall not be accelerated as a result of the Optionees retirement; provided that the number of New SPAC Common Shares that the Optionee (or his or her heirs or successors) shall be entitled to purchase until such date of
termination: (i) shall in the case of death of the Optionee, be all of New SPAC Common Shares that may be acquired on exercise of New SPAC Options held by such Optionee (or his or her heirs or successors), whether or not previously vested, and
the vesting of all such New SPAC Options shall be accelerated on the Cessation Date; and (ii) in any case other than death or termination for Cause, shall be the number of New SPAC Common Shares which the Optionee was entitled to purchase on
the Cessation Date. In the event of termination for cause, all of New SPAC Common Shares optioned, whether vested or unvested, shall be forfeited. If any
New SPAC Options may not be exercised due to any Black-Out Period at any time within the three-business day period prior to the normal expiry date of such New SPAC Options (the Restricted Options),
the expiry date of all Restricted Options shall be extended for a period of seven business days following the end of the Black-Out Period (or such longer period as permitted by the Exchange(s) and approved by
the Committee). Cashless Exercise Subject to the
provisions of New SPAC Share Option Plan, if permitted by the Committee, an Optionee may elect to exercise a vested New SPAC Option by surrendering such New SPAC Option in exchange for the In-the-Money Value of New SPAC Option in lieu of purchasing the number of New SPAC Common Shares then issuable on the exercise of the vested New SPAC Option. If the Optionee so elects to exercise New SPAC
Option, the Optionee shall be entitled to payment of the In-the-Money Value of the vested New SPAC Option determined as of the Pricing Date. The In-the-Money Value shall be paid in New SPAC Common Shares issued from treasury with the number of New SPAC Common Shares issuable being equal to the number obtained by
dividing the In-the-Money Value of New SPAC Options in respect of which such election is made by the Current Market Price on the Pricing Date. Surrender Offer A Optionee may make an offer (the
Surrender Offer) to the Company, at any time, for the disposition and surrender by the Optionee to the Company (and the termination thereof) of any of New SPAC Options granted under New SPAC Share Option Plan for an amount (not to exceed
the Fair Market Value of New SPAC Common Shares less the exercise price of New SPAC Options) specified in the Surrender Offer by the Optionee, and the Company may, but is not obligated to, accept the Surrender Offer, subject to any regulatory
approval required. If the Surrender Offer, either as made or as renegotiated, is accepted, New SPAC Options in respect of which the Surrender Offer relates shall be surrendered and deemed to be terminated and cancelled and shall cease to grant the
Optionee any further rights thereunder upon payment of the amount of the agreed Surrender Offer by the Company to the Optionee.  I-30

Alterations in Shares In the event: (a) of any change in New SPAC Common Shares through subdivision, consolidation, reclassification, amalgamation, merger or otherwise; or
(b) that any rights are granted to all or substantially all shareholders to purchase New SPAC Common Shares at prices substantially below Fair Market Value; or (c) that, as a result of any recapitalization, merger, consolidation or other
transaction, New SPAC Common Shares are converted into or exchangeable for any other shares; then New SPAC Board may, subject to any required approval by the TSX, make such adjustments to New SPAC Share Option Plan, to any New SPAC Options and to
any agreements for New SPAC Options outstanding under New SPAC Share Option Plan, and make such amendments to any agreements for New SPAC Options outstanding under New SPAC Share Option Plan, as New SPAC Board may, in its sole discretion, consider
appropriate in the circumstances to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights granted to Optionees thereunder and/or to provide for the Optionees to receive and accept such other securities or property in lieu of New SPAC Common Shares, and the
Optionees shall be bound by any such determination. For greater certainty, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary to the foregoing paragraph, no
adjustment shall be made in accordance with respect to the issue of New SPAC Common Shares being made pursuant to or in connection with (i) any share option plan or share purchase plan, including the New SPAC Share Option Plan, in force from
time to time for existing or proposed officers, directors, employees or Service Providers of the Company, or (ii) the issuance of additional New SPAC Common Shares pursuant to a public offering or private placement by the Company or a take-over
bid or tender offer made by the Company for the securities of another entity. Provisions Related to Merger/Sale etc. Except in the case of a transaction that is a Change of Control and to which accelerated vesting and termination of New SPAC Options applies, if the Company
enters into any transaction or series of transactions whereby the Company or All or Substantially All of the Assets would become the property of another 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, prior to or contemporaneously with the consummation of such transaction, the Company and the Successor will execute such
instruments and do such things as the Committee may determine are necessary to establish that upon the consummation of such transaction the Successor will assume the covenants and obligations of the Company under the New SPAC Share Option Plan
outstanding on consummation of such transaction. Any such Successor shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of the Company under the New SPAC Share Option Plan with the same effect as though the Successor had
been named as the Company therein and thereafter, the Company shall be relieved of all obligations and covenants under the New SPAC Share Option Plan and the obligation of the Company to the Optionees in respect of New SPAC Options shall terminate
and be at an end and the Optionees shall cease to have any further rights in respect thereof including, without limitation, any right to acquire New SPAC Common Shares upon vesting of New SPAC Options. Acceleration of Vesting and Termination of Option Notwithstanding any other provision in New SPAC Share Option Plan or the terms of any option agreement, upon the consummation of a Change of Control, all
issued and outstanding New SPAC Options shall be automatically fully vested and exercisable (whether or not then vested) immediately prior to the time such Change of Control takes place and shall terminate on the 90th day after the occurrence of such Change of Control, or at such earlier time as may be established by the New SPAC Board, in its absolute discretion, prior to the time such Change of Control takes
place.  I-31

Employment Agreements In connection with the Arrangement, the Company entered into new employment agreements with certain members of the Companys management. Other than Scott
Sobie, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, each of the executives are subject to the same form of employment agreement. Termination
and Change of Control Benefits A summary of the termination and change of control payments contained within the executive employment agreements are
summarized below. Pursuant to their employment agreement, if terminated without just cause, the executive (the Executive) would be entitled
to severance payments including (i) one times (two times for the Companys Chief Executive Officer (the CEO)) their annual salary, (ii) an amount equal to their current performance target percentage multiplied by the
amount determined in (i), (iii) an amount equal to 15% of their current salary to account for lost benefits, and (iv) if the termination is after the conclusion of a bonus year, but prior to a bonus being awarded for such year, a bonus payment
equal to the average of the cash bonuses paid for the two (2) year prior to the termination. Additionally, the Executive (other than the CEO) would be entitled to an amount equal to l/12th of the total payments in (i)-(iii) for each full year
of employment, up to a maximum additional amount of 50% of the total payments in (i)-(iii). If the Executive is terminated without just cause, prior to the vesting dates of their equity incentives, any such awards and options shall be prorated based
on the number of completed months from each respective grant date to the date of their termination plus twelve (12) months plus one (1) additional month for each full year of employment with Hammerhead up to a maximum of eighteen
(18) months (24 months for the CEO), divided by thirty six (36), and such prorated awards and options will accelerate and vest on the date of termination and be available to exercise, valued or issued in accordance with the Legacy Plans, the
New SPAC Equity Incentive Award Plan and the New SPAC Share Option Plan. If there is a change in control, the Executive would be entitled, within one year following the change of control, to terminate employment under certain good reason events and
still receive the foregoing severance benefits. Such payments are subject to a release of claims. In addition, the CEO may elect to resign between 11 and 16 months after the effective date, and still receive the foregoing severance payments.
Pursuant to their employment agreement, the Executives employment would be deemed to have terminated on death and their personal representatives would be entitled to receive the pro rata annual salary earned but not yet paid up to and
including the date of termination, accrued and unused vacation and reimbursable expenses. In addition, the Executives personal representatives would be entitled to receive a cash bonus payment calculated by taking the most recent cash bonus
paid to the Executive, multiplied by the number of days in the calendar year up to the date of their death, and divided by 365. Indemnification The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and certain officers to indemnify such individuals, to the fullest
extent permitted by law and subject to certain limitations, against all liabilities, costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by such individuals in an action or proceeding to which any such individual was made a party by reason of being an
officer or director of the Company or an organization of which the Company is a shareholder or creditor if such individual serves such organization at our request. C. Board Practices Information regarding the board of
directors of the Company subsequent to the Business Combination is included in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus under the section titled Management of New SPAC After the Business Combination and is incorporated herein by reference.  I-33

D. Employees Information regarding the employees of the Company is included in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus under the section titled Business of Hammerhead and
Certain Information About Hammerhead  Employees and Training and is incorporated herein by reference. E. Share Ownership Information regarding the ownership of the New SPAC Common Shares by our directors and executive officers is set forth in Item 7.A of this Report.  ITEM 7.
MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS A. Major Shareholders The following table and
accompanying footnotes set forth information known to the Company regarding the actual beneficial ownership of the New SPAC Common Shares by:  

each person who is, or is expected to be, the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding New SPAC Common
Shares;  

each of the Companys current directors and named executive officers; and  

all directors and officers of the Company, as a group. The SEC has defined beneficial ownership of a security to mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of voting power and/or investment power
over such security. A shareholder is also deemed to be, as of any date, the beneficial owner of all securities that such shareholder has the right to acquire within 60 days after that date through (i) the exercise of any option, warrant or
right, (ii) the conversion of a security, (iii) the power to revoke a trust, discretionary account or similar arrangement, or (iv) the automatic termination of a trust, discretionary account or similar arrangement. In computing the
number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, New SPAC Common Shares subject to options or other rights (as set forth above) held by that person that are currently exercisable, or will become
exercisable within 60 days thereafter, are deemed outstanding, while such shares are not deemed outstanding for purposes of computing percentage ownership of any other person. Each person named in the table has sole voting and investment power with
respect to all of the New SPAC Common Shares shown as beneficially owned by such person, except as otherwise indicated in the table or footnotes below. The beneficial ownership of the Company is based on 90,778,275 New SPAC Common Shares issued and outstanding as of February 23, 2023. In computing the
number of New SPAC Common Shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of such person, the Company deemed to be outstanding all New SPAC Common Shares subject to New SPAC Warrants, Legacy Options and Legacy RSUs held by the
person that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of February 23, 2023. The Company did not deem such shares outstanding, however, for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Unless otherwise indicated and subject to applicable community property laws, we believe that all persons named in the table below have sole voting and
investment power with respect to all New SPAC Common Shares beneficially owned by them. To our knowledge, no New SPAC Common Shares beneficially owned by any executive officer, director or director nominee have been pledged as security. Unless
otherwise indicated, the address of each Company shareholder named below is c/o Hammerhead Energy Inc., Suite 2700, 525 8th Avenue SW, Calgary, Alberta, T2P 1G1.  I-34
