GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE BUSINESS

Precision is an independent North American provider of oil and natural gas drilling and drilling-related services and products. The Corporation specializes in providing onshore drilling services in most major
conventional and unconventional oil and natural gas basins in Canada and the United States and has an emerging presence internationally. Precision also provides well servicing and ancillary wellsite products and services in Canada.

Three-year History

2011

Capital
Expenditures and Rig Fleet Upgrades. Precision placed 19 newly constructed or new build Super Series rigs into service in 2011 under previously negotiated contracts, including seven Precision Super Single rigs in Canada and one
Precision Super Single and 11 Super Triple rigs in the United States. These rig deliveries were part of Precisions property, plant and equipment capital expenditure program which totaled $726 million in 2011, including $455 million for
expansion capital and $271 million for the maintenance and upgrade of existing assets and infrastructure. Expansion and upgrade capital includes the purchase of long-lead items for the Corporations capital inventory which includes top drives,
drill pipe, control systems, engines and other long-lead items, which can be used for North American or international new build rig opportunities and rig tier upgrades.

Rig Decommissioning.In December 2011, Precision announced the decommissioning of 36 drilling rigs, including 19 in Canada and 17 in the United States, and 13 well servicing rigs in Canada. The drilling rigs
were all Tier 3 (as defined hereinafter), primarily mechanical, lower horsepower units without advanced technology. Certain component parts of the decommissioned rigs will be used in ongoing operations. Precision took a non-cash, pre-tax charge to
earnings of $115 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 in connection with the decommissioning.

U.S. Senior Note Offering.On
July 29, 2011, the Corporation completed its offering (the 2021 Note Offering) of US$400 million aggregate principal amount of 6.50% senior unsecured notes due 2021 (the 2021 Notes). The net proceeds from
the 2021 Note Offering are being used by the Corporation to fund its capital expenditure program and for general corporate purposes. See Description of Capital Structure  Material Debt.

Credit Facility Amendment.On June 19, 2011, Precision entered into an amendment to the Secured Facility (as defined hereinafter)
which: (i) reduced the margins and rates applicable to interest rates and fees payable under the Secured Facility; (ii) extended the maturity date of the Secured Facility to November 17, 2015 from November 17, 2013;
(iii) increased the amount of unsecured indebtedness permitted to be incurred under the Secured Facility; (iv) increased the consolidated senior debt to EBITDA ratio from 2.5:1 to 3:1; and (v) increased the consolidated total debt to
EBITDA ratio from 3.5:1 to 4:1. See Description of Capital Structure  Material Debt.

Canadian Senior Note Offering.On March 15, 2011, the Corporation completed its offering
(the 2019 Note Offering) of $200 million aggregate principal amount of 6.50% senior unsecured notes due 2019 (the 2019 Notes) in a private placement offering to Canadian investors. The net proceeds and cash on
hand were in effect used to repay the $175 million 10% senior unsecured notes (the 10% Senior Note) issued to Her Majesty the Queen in Right of the Province of Alberta, represented by Alberta Investment Management Corporation
(AIMCo). The aggregate repayment of approximately $204 million for the 10% Senior Note included $175 million in principal, accrued interest and a make-whole premium. The make-whole premium of $27 million was a charge to earnings
in the first quarter of 2011. See Description of Capital Structure  Material Debt.

Tax Reassessment.In
February 2011, Precision received a notice of reassessment from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) for federal tax and interest relating to a transaction that occurred in the 2005 tax year. Precision objected to the reassessment and,
during 2011, reached agreements with the CRA and Alberta Finance to resolve the results of the prior year audit. Based on the settlement agreements, Precision received income tax reassessments from the CRA and Alberta Finance totaling $37 million in
income tax plus interest of $13 million. As part of the settlement agreements, Precision waived all rights to appeal the reassessments.

Transition to International Financial Reporting Standards.As of January 1, 2011, Precision began preparing its financial statements
under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and future financial statements will be prepared in compliance with IFRS as if Precision had always followed these standards. The transition to IFRS did not materially
impact debt covenants or affect cash flows. Except for changes to management reports, no significant changes to internal controls over financial reporting or disclosure were required as a result of the transition to IFRS.

Directional Drilling.On March 29, 2011, Precision announced the closing of the acquisition of Drake Directional Drilling, LLC and
Drake MWD Services, LLC which provide directional drilling and measurement while drilling (MWD) services in Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Colorado. On September 12, 2011, Precision announced the closing of the acquisition of
Axis Energy Services Holdings Inc. which provides directional drilling and MWD services, primarily in western Canada.

International
Expansion.In the first quarter of 2011, Grey Wolf International opened new offices in Dubai, United Arab Emirates and Bogota, Colombia, and in the fourth quarter contracted three rigs for operations in Saudi Arabia to work on multi-year
contracts. Precision delivered these three upgraded rigs from its existing United States rig fleet to Saudi Arabia in the fourth quarter of 2011 and the first quarter of 2012.

2010

Senior Note Offering.On November 17, 2010, the
Corporation completed its offering (the 2020 Note Offering) of US$650 million aggregate principal amount of 6.625% senior unsecured notes due 2020 (the 2020 Notes). The net proceeds from the 2020 Note Offering
were used to repay, in full, the outstanding indebtedness under the Corporations then existing secured credit facility. See Description of Capital Structure  Material Debt.

Credit Facility.In connection with the closing of the 2020 Note Offering, Precision terminated its then existing secured credit facilities
and entered into a US$550 million secured revolving credit facility (the Secured Facility). See Description of Capital Structure  Material Debt.

The Arrangement.On June 1, 2010, the Trust converted from an income trust structure to a corporate structure pursuant to the
Arrangement. The Arrangement was approved at the annual and special meeting of the holders of trust units (Trust Unitholders) of the Trust and the holders of exchangeable limited partnership units (Exchangeable LP
Unitholders, and together with the Trust Unitholders, the Unitholders) of Precision Drilling Limited Partnership (PDLP) held on May 11, 2010, with over 99% of the votes cast by Unitholders being
voted in favor of the Arrangement. On May 12, 2010, the Alberta Court of Queens Bench granted the final order required in connection with the Arrangement. Pursuant to the Arrangement, former Trust Unitholders received one Common Share for
each trust unit of the Trust (Trust Unit) held and former Exchangeable LP Unitholders received one Common Share for each exchangeable limited partnership unit of PDLP (Exchangeable LP Unit) held.

2009

Integration of Grey Wolf.Precision strengthened its presence in the United States oil and natural gas drilling market by substantially completing the integration of Grey Wolf, Inc. (Grey
Wolf), a United States-based land drilling contractor acquired by Precision on December 23, 2008 (the Grey Wolf Acquisition). The integration of Precision and Grey Wolf entailed realigning personnel, implementing a
new organizational structure and financial systems and aligning vertical support systems in the United States, particularly supply chain and equipment management.

Rig Decommissioning.In December 2009, Precision announced the decommissioning of 38 drilling rigs including 26 in the Canadian fleet and 12 in the United States. All were Tier 3 rigs, primarily mechanical,
lower horsepower units without advanced technology. Certain component parts of the decommissioned rigs will be used in ongoing operations. Precision also decommissioned 30 service rigs and nine snubbing units. Precision took a non-cash, pre-tax
charge to earnings of $82 million in the fourth quarter of 2009 in connection with the decommissioning.

Refinancing Activities.Precision completed activities that enabled it to repay its then existing unsecured credit facility, entered into in connection with the Grey Wolf Acquisition, to reduce total debt, lower its debt to capitalization ratio and significantly reduce
annual interest expense.



| | § |  | An offering of 46 million Trust Units was completed on February 18, 2009, which provided gross proceeds of US$172.5 million. The proceeds were used
to repurchase the outstanding convertible notes assumed in conjunction with the Grey Wolf Acquisition.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | § |  | On April 22, 2009, the Trust completed a private placement of 35,000,000 Trust Units at a price of $3.00 per Trust Unit and warrants to acquire
15,000,000 Trust Units at an exercise price of $3.22 per Trust Unit within five years of the date of issue (the Warrants) for aggregate proceeds of approximately $105 million. In addition, Precision completed a private placement
of the 10% Senior Note. The purchaser of the Trust Units, Warrants and the 10% Senior Note was AIMCo. The proceeds from the issuance of the Trust Units, Warrants and the 10% Senior Note were used to reduce the obligations of Precision under its then
existing unsecured credit facility. See Description of Capital Structure  Material Debt.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | § |  | A rights offering that allowed Unitholders to purchase Trust Units at a price of $3.00 per Trust Unit was completed on June 3, 2009, for gross proceeds
of $103 million, for a total of 34,441,950 additional Trust Units outstanding.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Debt Repayment.During the
fourth quarter of 2009, the Trust reduced its outstanding debt by US$81 million through voluntary debt prepayments of US$75 million and a quarter-end prepayment of US$6 million. As a result of the voluntary prepayments, Precision realized additional
non-cash pretax expense in the quarter of $8 million related to the amortization of deferred financing costs. The financing activities reduced Precisions blended interest rate to approximately 8.4% and reduced Precisions cash interest
expense and overall leverage.

The refinancing activities described above enabled the repayment and retirement of Precisions then
existing bridge loans of $296 million (US$235 million).

Other Events.On January 2, 2009, Precision transferred
substantially all of the assets of its Precision Drilling (Precision Drilling), Rostel Industries (Rostel Industries) and Columbia Oilfield Supply (Columbia Oilfield Supply) divisions to
Precision Drilling Canada Limited Partnership in consideration for a 99.9% limited partnership interest in Precision Drilling Canada Limited Partnership. The general partner is a wholly-owned subsidiary, Precision Diversified Oilfield Services
Corp., which holds the remaining 0.1% interest. Precision Drilling Canada Limited Partnership carries on the businesses which comprise Precisions Contract Drilling Services segment. See Description of the Business of Precision 
Contract Drilling Services Segment.

On October 31, 2009 Precision Drilling Oilfield Services Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Precision which commenced drilling operations in the United States prior to the Grey Wolf Acquisition, merged with and into Precision Drilling Company, LP.

Precision Drilling

Overview.At the end of 2011, Precision operated a versatile fleet of 337 land rigs capable of drilling a range of shallow to very deep or extended-reach wells in Canada, the United States and
internationally.

In Canada, Precision owned and operated the largest fleet of land drilling rigs at December 31, 2011. It actively
marketed 188 drilling rigs located throughout western Canada, which accounted for approximately 24% of the industrys fleet of 786 drilling rigs.

|------------------------------------------------------------------- |  | 
|Precision Drilling Corporation 2011 Annual Information
Form     | 9



---

In the United States, at the end of 2011, Precision operated 143 land drilling rigs, the fourth
largest fleet, representing approximately 5% of the countrys estimated 2,885 total marketed land drilling rigs.

Internationally,
Precision had two land drilling rigs operating in Mexico, three land drilling rigs in or being deployed to Saudi Arabia and one idle rig in Colombia at year-end 2011.

Drilling Contracts.Contract terms offered by Precision are generally dependent on the complexity and risk of operations, on-site drilling conditions, type of equipment used and the anticipated duration of
the work to be performed. Drilling contracts can be for single or multiple wells and may vary in duration from a day or two on shallow single-well applications to multiple-year, multiple-well drilling programs. Term drilling contracts typically
provide for fixed utilization rates for a minimum six-month duration, early termination penalties, cost escalations and contract renewal options. Short-term contracts to provide drilling rigs on a well-to-well basis are typically subject to
termination by the customer on short notice or with little or no penalty. Precision had term contracts in place for an average of 125 drilling rigs in 2011, 45 in Canada and 80 in the United States.

Precision primarily markets its drilling rigs on a regional basis through sales and marketing personnel. Contracts to drill wells are obtained
either through competitive bidding or as a result of relationships and negotiations with customers.

Oil and natural gas well drilling
contracts are performed on a daywork or turnkey basis. On a daywork basis, Precision contracts to provide a drilling rig with required personnel and the customer supervises the drilling of the well. Precision charges the customer a fixed
rate per day regardless of the number of days needed to drill the well. Daywork contracts usually also provide for a reduced day rate (or a lump sum amount) to mobilize the rig to the well location, to rig-up and rig-down on location and to
demobilize the rig. On a daywork basis, Precision ordinarily bears no part of the costs arising from downhole risks (such as time delays for various reasons, including a stuck or broken drill string or blowouts). Under a turnkey contract, Precision
contracts to drill a well to an agreed depth, under specified conditions, for a fixed price. Compared to daywork contracts, turnkey contracts involve a higher degree of risk to Precision and, accordingly, normally provide greater profit or loss
potential. See Risk Factors  There are risks associated with turnkey drilling operations which could adversely affect Precisions business.

In Canada, Precisions contracts have been carried out almost exclusively on a daywork basis. In the United States, the majority of Precisions contracts have been carried out on a daywork basis with the
exception of approximately 3%, based on rig utilization in 2011, which were performed on a turnkey basis. Precisions newly constructed or new build drilling rigs generally have term contracts in place prior to the rig being completed and in
many cases have a two-year to five-year term contracts in place at the time construction commences.

Competition.The land
drilling industry is highly competitive and fragmented with the top ten providers owning only approximately 50% of the marketed United States rig fleet. The market for land drilling rigs is increasingly differentiated on the basis of technology.
Precisions Tier 1 and Tier 2 rigs, which represent 80% of its fleet, typically experience higher utilization levels and more stable dayrates than Tier 3 rigs.

Drilling Fleet Capabilities.Precisions rigs are categorized as Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3. The tiers indicate which rigs are suited to meet more complex drilling requirements and are generally more
mobile. Precisions fleet of 337 rigs at the end of 2011 comprised 144 Tier 1 rigs, 126 Tier 2 rigs and 67 Tier 3 rigs.

Tier 1,
including Super Series, drilling rigs are high performance, of innovative design and manufacture, capable of drilling directionally or horizontally, are highly mobile requiring fewer trucking loads and often include the following capabilities:
highly mechanized tubular handling equipment; integrated top drive or top drive adaptability; advanced mechanical, silicone controlled rectifier (SCR) and AC power distribution and control efficiencies; electronic control of the
majority of operating parameters; specialized drilling tubulars; and high-capacity mud pumps. Tier 1 drilling rigs are better suited to meet the challenges of complex customer resource exploitation requirements in the North America shale and
unconventional plays.

Tier 2 drilling rigs are high performance rigs where new equipment and modifications have been applied
to improve performance and enhance directional and horizontal drilling capability. Improvements include: some mechanization of tubular handling equipment; top drive adaptability; mechanical or SCR type power systems; increased hookload and or
racking capabilities; upgraded power generating, control systems and other major components; and high-capacity mud pumps. Tier 2 rigs are generally less mobile than Tier 1 rigs.

Tier 3 includes rigs which provide an acceptable level of performance for certain drilling requirements but would require major equipment upgrades
to meet the criteria of a Tier 2 or Tier 1 rig. Tier 3 rigs are typically conventional mechanical rigs with no automation and lower pumping capacity, and Precision believes that developments in the land drilling industry will result in the virtual
obsolescence of Tier 3 rigs in the North American markets over the near term.

Precisions rigs are capable of drilling to depths
in excess of 9,000 metres or 30,000 feet, are rated up to 4,000 horsepower and can drill virtually all types of onshore conventional and unconventional oil and gas wells in North America. In 2011, Precision had a footprint in virtually all of the
large resource plays in Canada and the United States, including the Horn River, Montney, Cardium, Viking and Lower Shaunovan formations in Canada and the Bakken, Barnett, Haynesville, Marcellus, Eagle Ford and Granite Wash resource plays in the
United States. A list of Precisions contract drilling rigs, including detailed inventory and layout specifications, is available at www.precisiondrilling.com.

Key factors which contribute to lower customer well costs include low unplanned mechanical downtime, which is managed through preventive maintenance programs, detailed inspection processes, strategically placed
spare equipment, supply chain management, continuous equipment upgrades, and efficient use of non-productive time that includes moving, rig-up and rig-out time, which is minimized by decreasing the number of move loads per rig, using lighter move
loads, and using mechanized equipment for safer and quicker rig component connections.

Directional Drilling

Directional drilling entails the use of specialized tubulars and drill string components to establish and maintain the necessary well trajectory to
achieve a desired subsurface location of the well in relation to the surface location. Directional equipment includes mud motors which are hydraulically driven by the drilling fluid to rotate the drill bit and MWD systems which monitor wellbore
trajectory and formation characteristics in real time while drilling is in progress. At the end of 2011, Precision had approximately 65 directional drilling job capacity in Canada and the United States. In addition to operational, technical and
maintenance facilities in Canada and the United States, directional drilling is also supported by centres in Calgary, Alberta and Houston, Texas for real-time management of directional and horizontal drilling operations in the field.

Grey Wolf International

Grey Wolf International is the platform for Precisions entry into the international oil and gas drilling and workover market. The nature of international oilfield service operations involves relatively long
sales cycles with bidding periods, contract award periods and rig mobilization periods measured in months. Grey Wolf International is actively exploring opportunities in various international markets.

In October 2011, Grey Wolf International entered multi-year daywork drilling contracts for three land drilling rigs to operate in Saudi Arabia. All
three rigs were refurbished to contract specifications at Precisions facilities in Texas. By the end of 2011, one of the rigs had been delivered to Saudi Arabia and the other two were still being deployed. Grey Wolf International also
continues to operate two drilling rigs under contracts with a major service provider in Mexico. In early 2011, Precision opened regional offices in Dubai, United Arab Emirates and Bogota, Colombia.

Rostel Industries

Rostel Industries manufactures custom drilling rigs and manufactures and refurbishes drilling rig and service rig components. Rostel Industries is
fundamental to Precisions vertical integration, as approximately 93% of Rostel Industries revenues in 2011 were related to Precision business units. The in-house ability to repair or provide new components for either drilling or service
rigs also improves the efficiency and reliability of Precisions fleets. Rostel Industries markets specialized services to the energy services industry, including inspection and certification of critical drilling components including overhead
equipment, well control equipment and handling tools. Rostel Industries expertise includes an in-house engineering group to design and certify equipment. Rostel Industries also designs and builds a significant portion of the components for
Precisions Super Single drilling rigs and seeks to develop products that can be applied to new rigs and retro-fitted to improve the versatility of many of Precisions existing rigs.

Columbia Oilfield Supply and Grey Wolf Supply

Columbia Oilfield Supply in Canada and Grey Wolf Supply in the United States are general supply stores that procure, package and distribute large volumes of consumable oilfield supplies. The two supply warehouses
achieve economies of scale through bulk purchasing and standardized product selection and then coordinate distribution to Precision rig sites. Columbia Oilfield Supply and Grey Wolf Supply play a key role in supply chain management as approximately
99% of their oilfield supply activities support Precision operations in North America.

Columbia Oilfield Supply and Grey Wolf Supply
contribute to Precisions competitiveness by reducing the administrative workload on operations staff in the field.

Completion
and Production Services Segment

The Completion and Production Services segment comprises a number of subsidiaries providing
completion and workover services and ancillary services and equipment rentals to oil and natural gas exploration and production companies primarily in Canada. In May 2010, the snubbing service business, formerly known as Live Well Service, was
combined with Precision Well Servicing. At December 31, 2011, Precisions Completion and Production Services segment comprised:

Precision Well Servicing

Precision Well Servicing provides customers with well servicing rigs for a complete range of oil and natural gas well services including completion, workover, abandonment, well maintenance, well re-entry
preparation, snubbing and most recently, coil-tubing service rigs. The Precision Well Servicing rig fleet is deployed throughout western Canada. Well servicing jobs are typically short, and preferably during daylight hours, so the ability of a
service rig to be close to customer demand and to move quickly from one site to another is critical. Well servicing requires its own unique skill set and crews must deal with the potential dangers and safety concerns of working with pressurized
wellbores.

Types of Activities.Well servicing operations have two distinct functions  completions and workovers.
For a completion operation, the customer often will contract a small, specialized service rig and crew to take over from a larger, more expensive drilling rig to prepare a newly drilled well for initial production by working jointly with other
services to open the producing zones and stimulate the producing zones to improve productivity. Completion activities may require a few days to several weeks to complete depending on well depth and complexity. In contrast, workover services are
generally provided according to preventive maintenance schedules or on a call-out basis when a well needs major repairs or modifications. Workover services generally involve remedial work such as repairing or replacing equipment in the well,
enhancing production, re-completing a new producing zone, recovery of lost equipment or abandoning the well and may require a few days to several weeks to complete depending on the extent of the repair or modification to be performed. A typical gas
well in western Canada is likely to require one or more workovers during its operating life compared with four or five workovers for some conventional oil wells. A well for some heavy oil and bitumen production could require many workovers during
its lifecycle.

Demand and Rates.Precision Well Servicing typically charges its customers an hourly rate for its services based
on such considerations as market demand in the region, the type of rig and the equipment required. The demand for well completion services is related to the level of drilling activity in a region whereas the demand for production or workover
services is based upon the total number of existing active wells, their age and their producing characteristics. Consequently, demand for completion services is generally more volatile than workover services.

Snubbing Services.Precision Well Servicing markets 12 portable hydraulic rig-assist snubbing units and five self-contained snubbing units
in western Canada and one self-contained snubbing unit in the United States. Snubbing units are equipped with specialized snubbing devices which allow tubing to be installed in or removed from a well, or snubbed, while the well is under
pressure and production has been suspended.

Rig-assist units work with a service rig to complete the snubbing activity for a well.
Self-contained units do not require a service rig on site and are capable of snubbing and many other services traditionally completed by a service rig.

Snubbing is primarily used to enhance production on natural gas wells. Snubbing units perform certain workover and completion activities without neutralizing the well, as opposed to traditional well servicing
operations that require pressure in a well to be neutralized using fluids which may impair production in order to safely perform services.

Precision Rentals

Precision Rentals provides approximately 11,100 pieces of oilfield rental equipment from five operating centers and 11 stocking points located
throughout western Canada, supported by a technical centre in central Alberta. Most exploration and production companies do not own the specialty equipment used in oil and natural gas operations and rely on suppliers such as Precision Rentals for
access to large inventories of drilling, completion and production equipment.

Precision Rentals inventory of equipment is
marketed through distinct product categories: surface equipment, including drilling and production tanks and other fluid handling equipment; tubular equipment, such as specialty drill string tubulars; well-control equipment, comprising blowout
preventers and diverter systems; and wellsite accommodations, which comprise fully equipped units that provide on-site office and lodging for field personnel. In 2011, the 86 small-flow wastewater treatment units developed by Terra Water Systems for
remote work sites were transferred to and are now marketed by Precision Rentals.

LRG Catering

LRG Catering provides food and accommodation to personnel working at the wellsite, typically in remote locations in western Canada. LRG Catering has
56 drill camps and two base camps in western Canada and four drill camps in the United States. LRG Caterings mobile camps each include five or six building units that typically accommodate 20 to 25 rig crew members and other personnel and, if
required, individual dormitory units that accommodate up to 45 additional personnel are also available. LRG Catering has also configured several of its camps and dormitories to provide housing and meals for a 200-man base camp and a 500-man base
camp on separate major projects in western Canada. As the oil and gas industry moves to more remote locations in search of new reserves, there is demand for crews to stay near the worksite, often in camps, throughout the duration of a drilling
program. LRG Catering serves Precision and other companies in the upstream oil and gas sector and periodically secures opportunities to serve other industries that operate in remote locations.

Terra Water Systems

Terra Water Systems provides portable wastewater handling, treatment, and disposal facilities at remote sites. The facilities offer customers an
environmentally sound solution to treating wastewater, eliminating the traditional tank-and-haul process that raises concerns regarding the timing, hauling and disposal of effluent.

In addition to the small-flow wastewater treatment units transferred to Precision Rentals in 2011, Terra Water Systems has four large-flow
wastewater treatment plants and three potable water production plants that are used in base camp and other large remote work site markets in western Canada. System management for each plant facility includes biweekly service visits by technical
staff and sampling and independent laboratory effluent testing. With a focus on ease of operation, treated effluent quality and elimination of odors, Terra Water Systems wastewater treatment plants align with existing environmental, health and
safety regulations for surface release of treated wastewater.

Supplemental operational information

Health, Safety and Environment

Precision has a long-standing commitment to health, safety and the environment in all aspects of its operations, a commitment that is fostered through its Target Zero vision. Target Zero promotes a
culture that never accepts an injury to a Precision employee and encourages the recognition and reduction of risks at job sites to reach the goal of zero injuries. Precision remains focused toward the safety of its employees  a core value at
Precision.

In 2011, 65% of Precisions drilling rigs and 80% of its service rigs worked without a recordable injury and 85% of its
drilling rigs and 97% of its service rigs were lost time free. Overall in 2011, Precisions total hours worked increased 21%, recordable injury frequency increased 4% and the lost time accident frequency decreased 29% compared to 2010.

Precision develops solutions to manage the loss of energy and resources. Rig designs incorporate high
efficiency diesel engines which meet applicable regulatory emission specifications and AC electric power generation, distribution and control systems which incorporate variable frequency drive technologies to increase efficiency and reduce fuel
consumption. Engines are equipped with advanced muffler systems to reduce noise, variable pitch fans on engine radiator systems reduce horsepower requirements and rig drawworks also use regenerative braking to eliminate brake noise produced by
conventional band brake systems. Rigs also use alternative power sources for heat generation in cold operating conditions and alternative fuel types for generating power. Where applicable, thermal insulation is applied to rig buildings to reduce
winter heating load requirements and rigs are designed for heat generation efficiency in cold weather by directing air flow from radiators on power generation engines to heat surrounding rig buildings. Precision continuously reviews its rig designs
and rig components and uses advanced technologies to improve life cycles, reduce energy and improve safety and operating efficiency.

Precision is aware of the critical importance that must be placed on climate change and impact on the environment. Rigs are designed for high
moving efficiency which reduces the number of trucks required to relocate a rig to a new customer site and once on location, Precisions reduced footprint design and construction decreases the surface land area required for the rig
to operate. Where customers require high well density such as heavy oil drilling programs, Precisions pad rig design not only reduces the surface area required to operate, it also eliminates the need for trucks to move between well centers.
Precision has also implemented its own spill containment devices for use under equipment which minimize potential spills around areas of high environmental exposure on the drill site.

Precision is committed to continue developing solutions that support a sustainable society, including research on alternative methods for fuel
types for power and heat generation, noise abatement, carbon emissions and waste energy recovery systems.

Employees

Precision had approximately 7,813 employees at the end of 2011, including 1,257 in salaried positions and 6,556 in hourly
positions. Changes in drilling activity due to seasonality or economic conditions result in more dramatic changes in hourly employees than salaried employees. Due to the cyclical nature of oilfield service work and the resulting uncertainty of
continuing employment as well as generally higher utilization levels over the past decade, there is a highly competitive environment for experienced personnel in the oilfield services industry.

Precisions performance relies on experienced, well-trained personnel. Precision invests in processes and systems that lead to employee
development, leadership and retention. Individuals are actively developed within a talent management system focused on developing, nurturing and retaining people in key positions as well as top performers and potential leaders for the future. These
programs include skill development around leadership, communication and corporate values. Precision also has remuneration systems to retain experienced field personnel during all market cycles, focused recruitment initiatives and a performance
management system which links compensation to the achievement of specific corporate and individual goals.

Precision measures
performance excellence through its safety record and reputation to attract and retain employees as industry manpower shortages are often experienced in peak operating periods. Emphasis is placed on retention of experienced employees in driller, rig
manager and field superintendent positions and Precisions retention rates for these key positions exceeded 85% in Canada and 86% in the United States in 2011.

The Secured Facility also provides for:
(a) a standby fee for each lender calculated on the unused amount of its commitment at a percentage based on the applicable Margin Ratio; (b) an issuance fee on the outstanding amount of the letters of credit equal to the margin applicable
to LIBOR loans (subject to reduction in fees for non-financial letters of credit); and (c) a fronting fee to be paid to each fronting lender.

Repayment.The Secured Facility contains a requirement that it be repaid in full on November 17, 2015, subject to the optional extension referenced above.

Guarantees and Security.The Corporation and all of its Material Subsidiaries have pledged substantially all of their respective present and
future assets, secured by a perfected first priority lien, subject to certain permitted encumbrances, as security for their obligations under the Secured Facility (including obligations to cash management providers, operating lenders and swap
providers). In addition, all Material Subsidiaries have guaranteed the Corporations obligations under the Secured Facility (including those owed to any cash management providers, operating lenders or swap providers).

Upon receiving a corporate credit rating of at least BBB- from Standard & Poors Ratings Services
(S&P) and Baa3 from Moodys Investors Service, Inc., (Moodys) security will, at the Corporations option, be released (with a corresponding obligation to re-grant security if the
rating drops below the above-referenced threshold after such release). Precision currently has a corporate credit rating of BB+ from S&P and Ba1 from Moodys.

Certain Covenants and Events of Default.The Secured Facility contains a number of covenants that, subject to certain exceptions, will,
among other things, restrict the Corporations and its Material Subsidiaries ability to: (i) incur or assume additional indebtedness; (ii) dispose of assets; (iii) make or pay dividends, share redemptions or other
distributions; (iv) change their primary business; (v) incur or assume liens on assets; (vi) engage in transactions with affiliates; (vii) enter into mergers, consolidations or amalgamations; and (viii) enter into
speculative swap agreements. The Secured Facility also contains customary affirmative covenants and events of default.

The Secured
Facility requires compliance with the following financial ratios, each for the most recent four consecutive fiscal quarters: (i) a maximum consolidated senior debt to EBITDA ratio of 3:1; (ii) a maximum consolidated total debt to EBITDA
ratio of 4:1; and (iii) a minimum interest coverage ratio of 2.75:1.

At December 31, 2011, Precision had available $25
million and US$15 million under secured operating facilities, of which no amounts had been drawn. Availability of the $25 million facility was reduced by outstanding letters of credit in the amount of $0.5 million. The facilities are primarily
secured by charges on substantially all present and future property of Precision and its Material Subsidiaries. Advances under the $25 million facility are available at the banks prime lending rate, United States base rate, United States LIBOR
plus applicable margin or Bankers Acceptance plus applicable margin, or in combination and under the US$15 million facility at the banks prime lending rate.

2020 Notes

On November 17, 2010, the Corporation completed a
US$650 million private placement offering of 6.625% senior unsecured notes. The 2020 Notes were issued and are governed under the terms of the 2020 Note Indenture. The 2020 Notes are denominated in United States dollars and all payments on the 2020
Notes are made in United States dollars.

The net proceeds of the 2020 Note Offering were used to repay all of the outstanding
indebtedness under Precisions then existing secured credit facility and for general corporate purposes. The 2020 Notes mature on November 15, 2020, and bear interest at 6.625%, payable in cash semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and
November 15 of each year, commencing on May 15, 2011, to the holders of record at the close of business on May 1 or November 1, as the case may be,

Credit Ratings

The following information relating to the Corporations credit ratings is provided as it relates to the Corporations
financing costs, liquidity and operations. Specifically, credit ratings affect the Corporations ability to obtain short-term and long-term financing and the cost of such financing. Additionally, the ability of the Corporation to engage in
certain business activities on a cost effective basis depends on the Corporations credit ratings. A reduction in the current rating on the Corporations debt by its rating agencies, particularly a downgrade below current ratings, or a
negative change in the Corporations ratings outlook could adversely affect the Corporations cost of financing and its access to sources of liquidity and capital.

The following table outlines the credit ratings received by the Corporation:



|                                                                       |  |           |  |          
|---------------------------------------------------------------------- |  | --------- |  | ---------
|                                                                       |  | Moodys   |  | S&P      
|Corporate Credit Rating                                                |  | Ba1       |  | BB+      
|Senior Secured Bank Credit Facility Rating                             |  | Not rated |  | Not rated
|Senior Unsecured Credit Rating (2020 Notes, 2019 Notes and 2021 Notes) |  | Ba1       |  | BB+      

Moodys issuer credit rating is an opinion of the ability of the issuer to honour senior unsecured financial
obligations and contracts. S&Ps issuer credit rating is a forward-looking opinion about an obligors overall financial capacity (its creditworthiness) to pay its financial obligations. Long-term credit ratings are intended to provide
an independent measure of the credit quality of long-term debt.

Moodys credit ratings are on a rating scale that ranges from Aaa
to C, which represents the range from highest to lowest quality of such securities rated. A rating of Ba by Moodys is the fifth highest of nine categories and denotes obligations judged to have speculative elements and are subject
to substantial credit risk. The addition of a 1, 2 or 3 modifier after a rating indicates the relative standing within a particular rating category. The modifier 1 indicates that the issue ranks in the higher end of its generic rating category, the
modifier 2 indicates a mid-range ranking and the modifier 3 indicates a ranking in the lower end of that generic rating category.

S&Ps credit ratings are on a rating scale that ranges from AAA to D, which represents the range from highest to lowest quality. A credit
rating of BB by S&P is the fifth highest of ten categories. According to the S&P rating system, an obligor with debt securities rated BB is less vulnerable in the near-term than other lower-rated obligors. However, it
faces major ongoing uncertainties and exposure to adverse business, financial or economic conditions which could lead to the obligors inadequate capacity to meet its financial commitments. The addition of a plus (+) or minus (-)
designation after the rating indicates the relative standing within a particular rating category.

The credit ratings assigned by the
rating agencies are not recommendations to purchase, hold or sell the debt nor do the ratings comment on market price or suitability for a particular investor. There is no assurance that any rating will remain in effect for any given period or that
any rating will not be revised or withdrawn entirely by a rating agency in the future if, in its judgment, circumstances so warrant. Each agencys rating should be evaluated independently of any other agencys rating.

period in which the services are proposed to be provided, Precisions management will, in conjunction with the Corporations external auditor, prepare and submit to the Audit Committee a complete list of all proposed services to be
provided to Precision by the external auditor. Under the Audit Committee pre-approval procedures, for those services proposed to be provided by the external auditor that have not been previously approved by the Audit Committee, the Chairman of the
Audit Committee has the authority to grant pre-approvals of such services. The decision to pre-approve a service covered under this procedure is required to be presented to the full Audit Committee at the next scheduled meeting. At each of the Audit

INTERESTS OF EXPERTS

KPMG LLP, Chartered Accountants, is the external auditor of the Corporation and has prepared an opinion with respect to the Corporations
consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2011. In connection with the audit of the Corporations annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011, the auditors confirmed that they are
independent within the meaning of the Rules of Professional Conduct of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Alberta and within the meaning of the United States Securities Act of 1933and the applicable rules and regulations thereunder
adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).

EVALUATION OF
DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of December 31, 2011, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Corporations
disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) was carried out by the
Corporations management with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer of Precision. Based upon that evaluation, the principal executive officer and the principal financial and
accounting officer of Precision have concluded that as of December 31, 2011, the Corporations disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Corporation in reports that it files
or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to the Corporations management,
including the principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer of Precision, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

It should be noted that while Precisions principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer believe that the Corporations disclosure controls and procedures provide a reasonable
level of assurance that they are effective, they do not expect that the Corporations disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and fraud. A control system, no matter how well
conceived or operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.

INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS.

affect the Corporations internal control over financial reporting.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in the Common Shares is subject to certain risks. Investors should carefully review and consider the risks described below and all other information contained in this Annual Information Form before
making an investment decision and consult their own experts where necessary.

Precisions operations are dependent on the price
of oil and natural gas.

Precision sells its services to oil and natural gas exploration and production companies. Macroeconomic and
geopolitical factors associated with oil and natural gas supply and demand are prime drivers for pricing and profitability within the oilfield services industry. Generally, when commodity prices are relatively high, demand for Precisions
services are high, while the opposite is true when commodity prices are low. The markets for oil and natural gas are separate and distinct. Oil is a global commodity with a vast distribution network, although the differential between benchmarks such
as West Texas Intermediate and European Brent crude oil can fluctuate. As in all markets, when supply, demand and other market factors change, so can the spreads between benchmarks. Natural gas is most economically transported in its gaseous state
via pipeline, and its market is dependent on pipeline infrastructure and is subject to regional supply and demand factors. However, recent developments in the transportation of liquefied natural gas in ocean going tanker ships have introduced an
element of globalization to the natural gas market. The volatility of crude oil and natural gas prices accounts for much of the cyclical nature of the oilfield services business.



|                                                                     |  |

Worldwide military, political and economic events, including sovereign debt concerns in Europe, lower
expectations for global economic growth or initiatives by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and other major petroleum exporting countries, for instance, may affect both the demand for, and the supply of, oil and natural gas.
Weather conditions, governmental regulation (both in Canada and elsewhere), levels of consumer demand, the availability of pipeline capacity, United States and Canadian natural gas storage levels and other factors beyond Precisions control may
also affect the supply of and demand for oil and natural gas and thus lead to future price volatility. A prolonged reduction in oil and natural gas prices would likely depress the level of exploration and production activity. This would likely
result in a corresponding decline in the demand for Precisions services and could have a material adverse effect on Precisions revenues, cash flows and profitability. Lower oil and natural gas prices could also cause Precisions
customers to seek to terminate, renegotiate or fail to honor Precisions drilling contracts which could affect Precisions ability to realize upon the anticipated revenues which support its capital expenditure program and new build rig
deliveries. Additionally, lower oil and natural gas prices, oilfield services demand and rig utilization could affect the fair market value of Precisions rig fleet, which in turn could trigger a write down for accounting purposes. There can be
no assurance that the future level of demand for Precisions services or future conditions in the oil and natural gas and oilfield services industries will not decline.

Precisions accounts receivable are with customers involved in the oil and natural gas industry, whose revenues may be impacted by fluctuations in commodity prices. The collection of receivables may be
adversely affected by any prolonged weakness in oil and natural gas prices.

The intense price competition and cyclical nature of the
contract drilling industry could have an adverse effect on revenue and profitability.

The contract drilling business is highly
competitive with numerous industry participants, and the drilling contracts Precision competes for are usually awarded on the basis of competitive bids. Precision believes pricing and rig availability are the primary factors considered by
Precisions potential customers in determining which drilling contractor to select. Precision believes other factors are also important. Among those factors are: the drilling capabilities and condition of drilling rigs; the quality of service
and experience of rig crews; the safety record of the contractor and the particular drilling rig; the offering of ancillary services; the ability to provide drilling equipment adaptable to, and personnel familiar with, new technologies and drilling
techniques; and the mobility and efficiency of rigs.

The contract drilling industry historically has been cyclical and has experienced
periods of low demand, excess rig supply, and low dayrates, followed by periods of high demand, short rig supply and increasing dayrates. Periods of excess drilling rig supply intensify the competition in the industry and often result in rigs being
idle. There are numerous contract drilling competitors in each of the markets in which Precision competes. In all of those markets, an oversupply of drilling rigs can cause greater price competition. Contract drilling companies compete primarily on
a regional basis, and the intensity of competition may vary significantly from region to region at any particular time. If demand for drilling services is better in a region where Precision operates, Precisions competitors might respond by
moving in suitable drilling rigs from other regions, by reactivating previously stacked rigs or purchasing new drilling rigs. An influx of drilling rigs into a market area from any source could rapidly intensify competition and make any improvement
in the demand for Precisions drilling rigs short-lived, which could in turn have a material adverse effect on Precisions revenues, cash flows and earnings.

Precisions business results and the strength of its financial position are affected by its ability to strategically manage its capital expenditure program in a manner consistent with industry cycles and
fluctuations in the demand for contract drilling services. A failure by Precision to effectively manage its capital expenditures or respond to market signals relating to the supply or demand for contract drilling and oilfield services could have a
material adverse effect on Precisions revenues, operations and financial condition.

New capital expenditures in the contract drilling industry expose Precisions business to the
risk of oversupply of equipment.

Periods of high demand often promote increased capital expenditures on oilfield service equipment,
including drilling rigs. The number of drilling rigs competing for work in the market areas where Precision operates has increased due to the entry into those markets of newly-built or upgraded rigs, including as a result of Precisions capital
expenditure program. Precision expects that more of these newer rigs will continue to enter market areas where Precision operates. As a result of the relatively long life span of oilfield service equipment and the waiting period between the time a
decision is made to upgrade or build new equipment and the time such equipment is placed into service, the supply of drilling rigs in the industry may exceed actual demand. Excess supply as result of industry-wide capital expenditures could lead to
reduced demand for term drilling contracts and Precisions equipment and services. Furthermore, the addition of these drilling rigs has and could continue to intensify price competition and could possibly lead to a decrease in rates in the
oilfield services industry generally and decreased utilization of existing rigs. The materialization of the above factors would have an adverse effect on Precisions revenues, cash flows, earnings and asset valuation.

Any difficulty Precision experiences retaining, replacing or adding personnel could adversely affect Precisions business.

Precision may not be able to find enough skilled labor to meet its needs, which could limit growth. Precision may also have problems finding enough
skilled and unskilled laborers in the future if demand for Precisions services increases. Shortages of qualified personnel have occurred in the past during periods of high demand. The demand for qualified rig personnel generally increases as a
result of overall stronger demand for land drilling services and as new and refurbished rigs are brought into service by Precision and its competitors. Increased demand typically leads to wage rate increases which may or may not be reflected by
service rate increases.

Other factors may also inhibit Precisions ability to find enough workers to meet employment needs. The
work currently performed by Precisions employees requires skilled workers who can perform physically demanding work. As a result of volatility in oil and natural gas activity and the demanding nature of the work, workers may choose to pursue
employment in fields that offer a more desirable work environment at wage rates that are competitive with Precisions. Precision believes that success is dependent upon the ability to continue to employ and retain skilled technical personnel
and qualified rig personnel. Precisions inability to employ or retain skilled technical personnel and qualified rig personnel generally could have a material adverse effect on its operations.

Precisions ability to provide reliable services is dependent upon the availability of well-trained, experienced crews to operate its field
equipment. Precision must also balance the requirement to maintain a skilled workforce with the need to establish cost structures that fluctuate with activity levels. Within Precision, the most experienced employees are retained during periods of
low utilization by having them fill lower level positions on field crews. Many of Precisions businesses experience manpower shortages in peak operating periods. These shortages are likely to be further exacerbated by the number of rigs being
added to the industry along with the entrance and expansion of newly formed oilfield service companies.

There are certain risks
associated with Precisions dependence on third-party suppliers.

Precision sources certain key rig components, raw materials,
equipment and component parts from a variety of suppliers located in Canada, the United States and overseas. Precision also outsources some or all services for the construction of drilling and service rigs, including for new build rigs announced as
part of Precisions capital expenditure program. See Three Year History  2011  Capital Expenditures and Rig Fleet Upgrades. While Precision maintains relationships with a number of key suppliers and contractors,
maintains an inventory of key components, materials, equipment and parts and orders long lead time components in advance, Precision may be subject to cost increases, delays in delivery due to the high activity or financial hardship of suppliers or
contractors, or other unforeseen circumstances relating to third parties. If current or alternate suppliers are unable to provide or deliver the necessary components, materials, equipment, parts and services Precision requires as part of its
businesses, including the construction of new build drilling rigs, any resulting delays by Precision in the provision of services to customers may have a material adverse effect on Precisions revenues, cash flows and earnings.

Poor safety performance could lead to a decline in the demand for Precisions
services.

Standards for the prevention of incidents in the oil and gas industry are governed by service company safety policies and
procedures, accepted industry safety practices, customer-specific safety requirements and health and safety legislation. A key factor considered by Precisions customers in selecting oilfield service providers is safety. Deterioration in
Precisions safety performance could result in a decline in the demand for services and could have a material adverse effect on Precisions revenues, cash flows and earnings.

Precision is subject to various environmental, health and safety laws, rules, legislation and guidelines which can impose
material liability or greater costs on Precisions business or lead to a decline in the demand for Precisions services.

Precisions operations are subject to numerous laws, regulations and guidelines relating to the protection of the environment and of health and
safety, including those governing the management, transportation and disposal of hazardous substances and other waste materials. These laws, regulations and guidelines include those relating to spills, releases, emissions and discharges of hazardous
substances or other waste materials into the environment, requiring removal or remediation of pollutants or contaminants and imposing civil and criminal penalties for violations. Some of the laws, regulations and guidelines that apply to
Precisions operations also authorize the recovery of natural resource damages by the government, injunctive relief, and the imposition of stop, control, remediation and abandonment orders. Additionally, Precisions land drilling
operations may be conducted in or near ecologically sensitive areas, such as wetlands, which are subject to special protective measures and which may expose Precision to additional operating costs and liabilities for noncompliance with applicable
laws. Some environmental laws and regulations may impose strict, and in certain cases joint and several, liability, which means that in some situations Precision could be exposed to liability as a result of conduct that was lawful at the time it
occurred or conduct of, or conditions caused by, prior operators or other third parties, including any such liability related to any offsite treatment or disposal facility. The costs arising from compliance with such laws, regulations and guidelines
may be material to Precision.

The issue of energy and the environment has created intense public debate in Canada and around the world
in recent years that is likely to continue for the foreseeable future and could potentially have a significant impact on all aspects of the economy. The trend in environmental regulation has been to impose more restrictions and limitations on
activities that may impact the environment. Any regulatory changes that impose additional environmental restrictions or requirements on Precision or its customers could adversely affect Precision through increased operating costs and potential
decreased demand for Precisions services. For example, there is growing concern about the apparent connection between the burning of fossil fuels and climate change. Laws, regulations or treaties concerning climate change or greenhouse gas
emissions may have an adverse impact on the demand for oil and natural gas, which could have a material adverse effect on Precision. Additionally, governments in Canada and the United States are reviewing more stringent regulation or restriction of
hydraulic fracturing, a technology used by certain of Precisions customers which involves the injection of water, sand and chemicals under pressure into rock formations to stimulate oil and natural gas production, which could negatively impact
the exploration of unconventional energy resources which are not commercially viable without the use of hydraulic fracturing. Laws relating to hydraulic fracturing are in various stages of development at levels of governments in markets where
Precision operates. There can be no assurance of the outcome of these developments, their effect on the regulatory landscape and the contract drilling industry, or that additional governmental organizations will not in the future choose to review
and seek to pass legislation in respect of hydraulic fracturing.

While Precision maintains liability insurance, including insurance for
certain environmental claims, the insurance is subject to coverage limits and certain of Precisions policies exclude coverage for damages resulting from environmental contamination. Precision cannot assure that insurance will continue to be
available to Precision on commercially reasonable terms, that the possible types of liabilities that may be incurred by Precision will be covered by its insurance, or that the dollar amount of such liabilities will not exceed Precisions policy
limits. Even a partially uninsured claim, if successful and of sufficient magnitude, could have a material adverse effect on Precisions business, results of operations and prospects.

Business in Precisions industry is seasonal and highly variable.

In Canada and the northern part of the United States, the level of activity in the oilfield service industry is influenced by
seasonal weather patterns. During the spring months, wet weather and the spring thaw make the ground unstable. Consequently, municipalities and counties and provincial and state transportation departments enforce road bans that restrict the movement
of rigs and other heavy equipment, thereby reducing activity levels and placing an increased level of importance on the location of Precisions equipment prior to the imposition of the road bans. The timing and length of road bans is dependent
upon the weather conditions leading to the spring thaw and the weather conditions during the thawing period. Additionally, certain oil and natural gas producing areas are located in areas of western Canada that are inaccessible, other than during
the winter months, because the ground surrounding or containing the drilling sites in these areas consists of terrain known as muskeg. Until the muskeg freezes, the rigs and other necessary equipment cannot cross the terrain to reach the drilling
site. Moreover, once the rigs and other equipment have been moved to a drilling site, they may become stranded or otherwise be unable to relocate to another site should the muskeg thaw unexpectedly. Precisions business results depend, at least
in part, upon the severity and duration of the winter season.

There are risks and uncertainties associated with
international operations which could negatively affect Precisions business.

Precision conducts a portion of its business
outside of Canada and the United States, in areas such as Mexico and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. In addition, Precisions growth plans contemplate establishing operations in additional foreign countries, including countries where the political
and economic systems may be less stable than those in Canada or the United States. Precisions international operations are subject to risks normally associated with conducting business in foreign countries, including, but not limited to:
uncertain political and economic environments; the loss of revenue, property and equipment as a result of expropriation, confiscation, nationalization, war, terrorist threats, civil insurrection and geopolitical and other political risks;
fluctuations in foreign currency and exchange controls; increases in duties, taxes and governmental royalties; renegotiation of contracts with governmental entities; and changes in laws and policies governing operations of foreign-based companies.
If a dispute arises out of Precisions international operations, Precision may be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of foreign courts or may not be able to subject foreign persons to the jurisdiction of a court in Canada or the United
States.

Government-owned petroleum companies located in some of the countries in which Precision operates, or may choose to operate in
the future, may have policies, or may be subject to governmental policies, giving preference to the purchase of goods and services from companies that are majority-owned by local nationals. As a result of these policies, Precision may rely on joint
ventures, license arrangements and other business combinations with local nationals in these countries which may expose to Precision to certain counterparty risks, including the failure of such local nationals to satisfy contractual obligations or
comply with laws of local or international application to Precision.

In the international markets in which Precision operates, it is
subject to various laws and regulations that govern the operation and taxation of its businesses and the import and export of its equipment from country to country, the imposition, application and interpretation of which could prove to be uncertain
or subject to change. Since Precision derives a portion of its revenues from subsidiaries outside of Canada, the payment of dividends or the making of other cash payments or advances by these subsidiaries may be subject to restrictions or exchange
controls on the transfer of funds in or out of the respective countries or result in the imposition of taxes on such payments or advances. Precision has organized its foreign operations, in part, based on certain assumptions about various tax laws
(including capital gains and withholding taxes), foreign currency exchange and capital repatriation laws and other relevant laws of a variety of foreign jurisdictions. While Precision believes that such assumptions are reasonable, there can be no
assurance that foreign taxing or other authorities will reach the same conclusion. Further, if such foreign jurisdictions were to change or modify such laws, Precision could suffer adverse tax and financial consequences.

Additionally, while Precision has developed policies and procedures designed to achieve compliance with applicable international laws, Precision
could be exposed to potential claims, economic sanctions or other restrictions for alleged or actual violations of international laws in connection with its international operations, including anti-corruption and trading sanctions legislation. The
Canadian government, the United States Department of Justice, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, the United States Office of Foreign Assets Control and other agencies and authorities have



|                                                                     |  | 
|-------------------------------------------------------------------- |  |

a broad range of civil and criminal penalties they may seek to impose against corporations and individuals for such violations, including, but not limited to, injunctive relief, disgorgement,
fines, penalties and modifications to business practices and compliance programs.

While the impact of the foregoing factors cannot be
accurately predicted, if any of the risks materialize, they could have a material adverse effect on Precisions reputation, business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

New technology could reduce demand for certain rigs or place Precision at a disadvantage versus competitors.

Complex drilling programs for the exploration and development of conventional and unconventional oil and natural gas reserves demand high
performance drilling rigs. The ability of drilling rig service providers to meet this demand will depend on continuous improvement of existing rig technology such as drive systems, control systems, automation, mud systems and top drives to improve
drilling efficiency. Precisions ability to deliver equipment and services that meet customer demand is critical to its continued success. Precision cannot assure that its rig technology will continue to meet demands, especially as rigs age and
technology advances, or that competitors will not achieve technological improvements that are more advantageous, timely or cost effective than improvements developed by Precision.

There are risks associated with turnkey drilling operations which could adversely affect Precisions business.

Precision derives a portion of its revenues from turnkey drilling contracts and expects that turnkey drilling will continue to
represent a part of Precisions service offering. Under a typical turnkey drilling contract, Precision would agree to drill a well for a customer to a specified depth and under specified conditions for a fixed price. As part of this
arrangement, Precision would typically provide technical expertise and engineering services, as well as most of the equipment required for the drilling of turnkey wells. Precision would use subcontractors for related services. In the typical turnkey
drilling arrangement, Precision would not receive progress payments and would be entitled to be paid by the customer only after the terms of the drilling contract have been performed in full. In addition, difficulties are encountered from time to
time on wells being drilled under turnkey contracts and unanticipated costs may be incurred, not all of which have been or may be covered by insurance. For these reasons, the risk under turnkey drilling contracts is substantially greater than for
wells drilled on a daywork basis, because under such contracts Precision must assume most of the risks associated with drilling operations that are generally assumed by the customer under a daywork contract. The occurrence of operating cost overruns
or operational difficulties on turnkey jobs could have a material adverse effect on Precisions financial position and results of operations.

Business acquisitions entail numerous risks and may disrupt Precisions business or distract management attention from operating Precisions business.

Precision contemplates that, as part of its business strategy, it will continue to consider and evaluate acquisitions of, or significant investments
in, businesses and assets that are complementary to Precision. Any acquisition that Precision completes could have a material adverse effect on its operating results, its financial condition and/or the price of its securities. Acquisitions involve
numerous risks, including: unanticipated costs and liabilities; difficulty of integrating the operations and assets of the acquired business; the ability to properly access and maintain an effective internal control environment over an acquired
company in order to comply with public reporting requirements; potential loss of key employees and customers of the acquired companies; and an increase in Precisions expenses and working capital requirements.

Precision may incur substantial indebtedness to finance future acquisitions and also may issue equity securities or convertible securities in
connection with any such acquisitions. Debt service requirements could represent a burden on Precisions results of operations and financial condition. Precision will also be required to meet certain conditions in order to borrow money to fund
future acquisitions. Acquisitions could also divert the attention of management and other employees from Precisions day-to-day operations and the development of new business opportunities. Even if Precision is successful in integrating future
acquisitions into its operations, Precision may not derive the benefits, such as operational or administrative synergies, that it expects from such acquisitions, which may result in the commitment of its capital resources without the expected
returns on such capital. In addition, Precision may not be able to continue to identify attractive acquisition opportunities or successfully acquire identified targets.



|                                                                     |  |

Precisions operations face many risks of interruption and casualty losses.

Precisions operations are subject to many hazards inherent in the drilling and well servicing industries, including blowouts,
cratering, explosions, fires, loss of well control, loss of hole, reservoir damage, damaged or lost equipment and damage or loss from inclement weather or natural disasters. Any of these hazards could result in personal injury or death, damage to or
destruction of equipment and facilities, suspension of operations, environmental damage, damage to the property of others and damage to producing or potentially productive oil and natural gas formations through which Precision drills. Generally,
drilling and service rig contracts provide for the division of responsibilities between a drilling or service rig company and the customer, and Precision seeks to obtain indemnification from its customers by contract for certain of these risks.
Precision also seeks protection through insurance. However, Precision cannot ensure that such insurance or indemnification agreements will adequately protect it against liability from all of the consequences of the hazards described above. The
occurrence of an event not fully insured or indemnified against, or the failure of a customer or insurer to meet its indemnification or insurance obligations, could result in substantial losses. In addition, insurance may not be available to cover
any or all of these risks, or, even if available, may not be adequate. Insurance premiums or other costs may rise significantly in the future, so as to make such insurance prohibitively expensive or uneconomic. This is of particular concern in the
wake of significant events such as terrorist attacks in the United States, severe hurricane damage and well blowout damage in the United States Gulf Coast region, all of which have resulted in significantly increased insurance costs, deductibles and
coverage restrictions. In future insurance renewals, Precision may choose to increase its self insurance retentions, and thus assume a greater degree of risk, in order to reduce costs associated with increased insurance premiums.

Precisions business is affected by governmental regulations and policies.

Certain activities conducted by Precision are affected by factors that are beyond Precisions control or influence. Precisions operations
are directly affected by fluctuations in exploration, development and production activity carried on by Precisions customers which, in turn, are dictated by numerous factors, including economic conditions, global energy prices and government
policies. The addition, elimination or curtailment of government regulations and incentives could have a significant impact on the oil and natural gas business in Canada, United States and other markets in which Precision operates or may choose to
operate in the future. These factors could lead to a decline in the demand for Precisions services, resulting in a material adverse effect on revenues, cash flows and earnings.

Precision could face negative tax consequences for previous transactions.

The business and operations of Precision are complex and Precision has executed a number of significant financings, business combinations,
acquisitions and dispositions over the course of its history. The computation of income taxes payable as a result of these transactions involves many complex factors as well as Precisions interpretation of relevant tax legislation and
regulations. Precisions management believes that the provision for income tax is adequate and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and applicable legislation and regulations. However, there are tax filing positions that
have been and can still be the subject of review by taxation authorities who may successfully challenge Precisions interpretation of the applicable tax legislation and regulations, with the result that additional taxes could be payable by
Precision and the amount owed, with estimated interest but without penalties, could be up to $58 million.

Precision
will require sufficient cash flows to service and repay its indebtedness.

Precision will require sufficient cash flows in the future
in order to service and repay its indebtedness. Precisions ability to generate cash in the future will be, to a certain extent, subject to general economic, financial, competitive and other factors that may be beyond its control. In addition,
Precisions ability to borrow funds in the future to service its debt, if necessary, will depend on covenants in the Secured Facility, the 2020 Note Indenture, the 2019 Note Indenture, the 2021 Note Indenture and other debt agreements Precision
enters into in the future. Future borrowings may not be available to Precision under the Secured Facility or from the capital markets in amounts sufficient to enable Precision to pay its obligations as they mature or to fund other liquidity
requirements. If Precision is not able to obtain such borrowings or generate cash flow from operations in an amount sufficient to enable it to service and repay its indebtedness, Precision will need to refinance its indebtedness or be in default
under the agreements governing its indebtedness and could be



|                                                                     |  |

---

forced to reduce or delay investments and capital expenditures or to dispose of material assets. Such refinancing or alternative measures may not be available on favorable terms or at all. The
inability to service, repay and/or refinance our indebtedness could negatively impact Precisions financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, Precision conducts a substantial portion of its operations through subsidiaries, certain of which will not be guarantors of its indebtedness. The assets and operations of the non-guarantor subsidiaries
are not material and such subsidiaries do not have any obligation to pay amounts due on the indebtedness or to make funds available for that purpose. Accordingly, repayment of indebtedness by Precision is dependent on the generation of cash flow by
its guarantor subsidiaries and their ability to make such cash available to Precision, by dividend, debt repayment or otherwise. Precisions guarantor subsidiaries may not be able to, or may not be permitted to, make distributions to enable
Precision to make payments in respect of its indebtedness. Each guarantor subsidiary is a distinct legal entity, and, under certain circumstances, legal and contractual restrictions may limit Precisions ability to obtain cash from its
subsidiaries. While the agreements governing certain of Precisions existing indebtedness will limit the ability of its subsidiaries to incur consensual restrictions on their ability to pay dividends or make other intercompany payments to
Precision, these limitations are subject to qualifications and exceptions. In the event that Precision does not receive distributions from its guarantor subsidiaries, it may be unable to make required principal and interest payments on its
indebtedness which could materially and adversely affect Precisions financial position and results of operations.

The Secured Facility, the 2020 Note Indenture, the 2019 Note Indenture and the 2021 Note Indenture contain restrictive
covenants.

The Secured Facility, the 2020 Note Indenture, the 2019 Note Indenture and the 2021 Note Indenture contain a number of
covenants that, among other things, restrict Precisions and certain of its subsidiaries ability to conduct certain activities. In addition, under the Secured Facility, Precision will be required to satisfy and maintain certain financial
ratio tests. See Description of Capital Structure  Material Debt. Precisions ability to meet such tests could be affected by events beyond its control, and Precision may not be able to meet such tests. A breach of any of
these covenants could result in a default under the Secured Facility, the 2020 Note Indenture, the 2019 Note Indenture or the 2021 Note Indenture. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Secured Facility, the 2020 Note Indenture, the
2019 Note Indenture or the 2021 Note Indenture, the applicable lenders or note holders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under the Secured Facility, the 2020 Note Indenture, the 2019 Note Indenture or the 2021 Note Indenture, as the
case may be, to be immediately due and payable and terminate all commitments to extend further credit.

A successful
challenge by the tax authorities of the expenses deducted by Precision or its subsidiaries could negatively affect the value of the Common Shares.

There can be no assurance that taxation authorities will agree with the classification of expenses claimed by Precision or its subsidiaries or that the taxation authorities will not seek to challenge the amount of
interest expense deducted. If the taxation authorities successfully challenge the classification or deductibility of any such expenses, the return to Shareholders may be adversely affected.

Precision has retained liabilities as a consequence of prior reorganizations.

Precision, the successor entity to amalgamations involving its predecessor companies and the Arrangement, has retained all liabilities of its
predecessor companies, including liabilities relating to corporate and income tax matters.

There are risks
associated with increased capital expenditures.

The timing and amount of capital expenditures incurred by Precision will directly
affect the amount of cash available to Precision. The cost of equipment generally escalates as a result of, among other things, high input costs in periods of high demand for oilfield service equipment, including Precisions drilling rigs.
Precision cannot assure that it will be able to recover higher capital costs through rate increases to Precisions customers.

The loss of key management personnel could reduce Precisions competitiveness
and prospects for future success.

The future success and growth of Precision is dependent, in part, upon the expertise and
experience of its key management personnel. No assurance can be provided that Precision will be able to retain key management personnel and the loss of such persons could have a material adverse effect on Precisions operations and financial
condition.

The results of Precisions assessment of goodwill and/or capital assets for impairment may result in
a non-cash charge against Precisions consolidated net income.

Precision is required to assess its goodwill balance for
impairment at least annually. It is also required to assess its capital assets balance for impairment when certain internal and external factors may indicate the necessity for further analysis. Any impairment write down to goodwill or capital assets
would result in a non-cash charge against net earnings and any such charge could be material.

The calculation of any impairment is
subject to management estimates and assumptions. Factors that may be considered in such a calculation include, but are not limited to, declines in Precisions share price and market capitalization, reduced future cash flow and earnings
estimates, significantly reduced or depressed markets in the industry in which Precision and its subsidiaries operate and general economic conditions.

Precisions operations are subject to foreign exchange risk, which could cause results to fluctuate significantly from period to period.

Precisions United States and international operations have revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the
Canadian dollar, principally in United States dollars and currencies which are pegged to the United States dollar. As a result, Precisions income statement, balance sheet and statement of cash flow are impacted by changes in currency exchange
rates.



| | § |  | Translation into Canadian Dollars.For the purpose of preparing Precisions consolidated financial statements, the financial statements of each
foreign operation that does not have a Canadian dollar functional currency are translated into Canadian dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated using
average exchange rates for the month of the respective transaction. Gains or losses resulting from these translation adjustments are recognized initially in other comprehensive income and reclassified from equity to net earnings on disposal or
partial disposal of the foreign operation. Changes in currency exchange rates could materially increase or decrease Precisions foreign currency-denominated net assets on consolidation which would increase or decrease, as applicable,
shareholders equity. As well, changes in currency exchange rates will affect the translation of the revenue and expenses of Precisions United States and international operations and will result in lower or higher net earnings than would
have occurred had the exchange rate not changed. If the Canadian dollar strengthens versus the United States dollar, the Canadian dollar equivalent of net earnings from international operations will be negatively impacted.

| | § |  | Transaction Exposure.Precision has long-term debt denominated in United States dollars. Precision has designated its United States dollar denominated
unsecured senior notes as a hedge against the net asset position of its United States operations. This debt is converted at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet dates with the resulting gains or losses included in the statement of
comprehensive income. If the Canadian dollar strengthens versus the United States dollar, Precision will incur a foreign exchange gain from the translation of this debt. The vast majority of Precisions international operations are transacted
in United States dollars or United States dollar-pegged currencies. Transactions for Precisions Canadian operations are primarily transacted in Canadian dollars. However, Precision occasionally purchases goods and supplies in United States
dollars for its Canadian operations. These types of transactions and foreign exchange exposure would not typically have a material impact on Precisions financial results.

Precision may be unable to obtain access to additional financing.

Precision may find it necessary in the future to obtain additional debt or equity financing to support ongoing operations, to undertake capital
expenditures, to repay existing or future indebtedness (including the Secured Facility, the 2020 Notes, the 2019 Notes and the 2021 Notes) or to undertake acquisitions or other business combination transactions. Continued or future volatility or
uncertainty in the credit markets may increase costs associated with issuing debt and Precision cannot assure that additional financing will be available to it when needed or on terms acceptable or favorable to Precision. Precisions inability
to raise financing to support ongoing operations or to fund capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt repayments or other business combination transactions could limit growth and may have a material adverse effect on Precisions revenues, cash
flows and profitability.

Conditions in the credit markets in the future may adversely affect business.

The ability to make scheduled debt repayments, to refinance debt obligations or access financing depends on the financial condition
and operating performance of Precision, which is subject to prevailing economic and competitive conditions and to certain financial, business and other factors beyond its control. Continued or future volatility in the credit markets may increase
costs associated with debt instruments due to increased spreads over relevant interest rate benchmarks, or affect Precisions, or third parties it seeks to do business with, ability to access those markets. Precision may be unable to maintain a
level of cash flow from operating activities sufficient to permit it to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest on its indebtedness.

In addition, should there be continued or future volatility or uncertainty in the capital markets, access to financing may be uncertain, which may have an adverse effect on the industry in which Precision operates
and its business, including future operating results. Precisions customers may curtail their drilling programs, which could result in a decrease in demand for drilling rigs and a reduction in dayrates, reduction in the number and profitability
of turnkey jobs and/or utilization. In addition, certain customers could experience an inability to pay suppliers, including Precision, in the event they are unable to access the capital markets to fund their business operations.

Sales of additional Common Shares could negatively affect the value of the Common Shares.

Precision may issue additional Common Shares in the future to fund the requirements of Precision and other entities now or hereafter owned directly
or indirectly by Precision. Such additional Common Shares may be issued without the approval of Shareholders. Shareholders have no pre-emptive rights in connection with such additional issues. The Board of Directors has discretion in connection with
the price and the other terms of the issue of such additional Common Shares. See Description of Capital Structure  Description of Common Shares.

The price of Common Shares may experience volatility.

The price of Common
Shares may be volatile. Some of the factors that could affect the price of the Common Shares are increases or decreases in revenue or earnings, changes in revenue or earnings estimates by the investment community and speculation in the press or
investment community about Precisions financial condition or results of operations. General market conditions and Canadian, United States or international economic factors and political events unrelated to the performance of Precision may also
affect the price of Common Shares. For these reasons, investors should not rely on past trends in the price of Trust Units or Common Shares to predict the future price of Common Shares or Precisions financial results.

Asset valuation variability could negatively affect the value of the Common Shares.

The net asset value of the assets of Precision from time to time will vary depending upon factors which are beyond the control of Precision. The
trading price of the Common Shares also fluctuates due to factors beyond the control of Precision and such trading prices may be greater or less than the net asset value of Precision assets.

Precision expects to maintain its status as a foreign private issuer in
the United States and thus will be exempt from a number of rules under the Exchange Act and will be permitted to file less information with the SEC than a company incorporated in the United States.

As a foreign private issuer, Precision is exempt from certain rules under the Exchange Act that impose disclosure requirements, as well
as procedural requirements, for proxy solicitations under Section 14 of the Exchange Act. Precisions directors, officers and principal shareholders are also exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit recovery provisions
of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Moreover, Precision is not required to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as United States companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange
Act, nor is Precision generally required to comply with Regulation FD, which restricts the selective disclosure of material non-public information. Accordingly, there may be less information concerning Precision publicly available than there is for
United States public companies and such information may not be provided as promptly. In addition, Precision is permitted, under a multi-jurisdictional disclosure system adopted by the United States and Canada, to prepare its disclosure documents in
accordance with Canadian disclosure requirements, including preparing its financial statements in accordance with IFRS, which differs in some respects from United States GAAP.

Precision may become a passive foreign investment company (PFIC), which could result in adverse United States tax consequences to United States investors.

Management does not believe that Precision is, or will be treated as, a PFIC for United States tax purposes. Since PFIC status is determined on an
annual basis and will depend on the composition of Precisions income and assets from time to time, it is possible that Precision could be considered a PFIC in 2011 or a future taxable year. Such characterization could result in adverse United
States tax consequences to a United States investor. In particular, a United States investor would be subject to United States federal income tax at ordinary income rates, plus a possible interest charge, in respect of any gain derived from a
disposition of the Common Shares, as well as certain distributions by Precision. In addition, a step-up in the tax basis of the Common Shares would not be available upon the death of an individual holder.

If an investor acquires 10% or more of the Common Shares it may be subject to taxation under the CFC rules.

Under certain circumstances, a United States person who directly or indirectly owns 10% or more of the voting power of a foreign corporation that is
a controlled foreign corporation (CFC) (generally, a foreign corporation in which 10% United States shareholders own more than 50% of the voting power or value of the stock of such foreign corporation) for an uninterrupted period
of 30 days or more during a taxable year and who holds any shares of the foreign corporation on the last day of the corporations tax year must include in gross income for United States federal income tax purposes its pro rata share of certain
income of the CFC even if such share is not distributed to such person. Precision is not presently a CFC, but this could change in the future.

Limitation of Committees Role

While the Committee has the responsibilities and powers set forth in its Charter, it is not the duty of the Committee to prepare financial
statements, plan or conduct audits or to determine that the Corporations financial statements and disclosures are complete and accurate and are in accordance with IFRS and applicable rules and regulations. These are the responsibilities of the
Management and the external auditor.

The Committee, the Chair of the Committee and any Committee members identified as having
accounting or related financial expertise are members of the Board of Directors, appointed to the Committee to provide broad oversight of the financial, risk and control-related activities of the Corporation, and are specifically not accountable or
responsible for the day-to-day operation or performance of such activities.

Although the designation of a Committee member as having
accounting or related financial expertise for disclosure purposes is based on that individuals education and experience, which that individual will bring to bear in carrying out his or her duties on the Committee, such designation does not
impose on such person any duties, obligations or liabilities that are greater than the duties, obligations and liabilities imposed on such person as a member of the Committee and Board of Directors in the absence of such designation. Rather, the
role of a Committee member who is identified as having accounting or related financial expertise, like the role of all Committee members, is to oversee the process, not to certify or guarantee the internal or external audit of the Corporations
financial information or public disclosure.

4. Committee Structure and Authority

(a) Composition

The
Committee shall consist of no fewer than three members, at least 25 percent of whom must be resident Canadians. Each member of the Committee shall be independent under the requirements or guidelines for audit committee service under
applicable securities laws and the rules of any stock exchange on which the shares of the Corporation are listed for trading.

Each
member of the Committee must be financially literate as such term is interpreted by the Board of Directors in its business judgment in light of, and in accordance with, the applicable requirements or guidelines. At least one of the
members of the Committee must also have accounting or related management financial expertise as such term is defined from time to time under the applicable requirements or guidelines.

No Committee member shall serve on the audit committees of more than three other issuers without prior determination by the Board of Directors that
such simultaneous service would not impair the ability of such member to serve effectively on the Committee.

(b) Appointment and
Replacement of Committee Members

Each member of the Committee shall serve at the pleasure of the Board of Directors. Any member
of the Committee may be removed or replaced at any time by the Board of Directors, and shall automatically cease to be a member of the Committee upon ceasing to be a Director of the Corporation. The Board of Directors may fill vacancies on the
Committee by appointment from among its number. The Board of Directors shall fill any vacancy if the membership of the Committee is less than three directors or Canadian residency requirements are not met. If and whenever a vacancy shall exist on
the Committee, the remaining members may exercise all their power so long as a quorum remains in office and minimum Canadian residency requirements are met. Subject to the foregoing, the members of the Committee shall be appointed by the Board of
Directors annually and each member of the Committee shall hold office until the next annual meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation after his or her election or until his or her successor shall be duly qualified and appointed.

(c) Quorum

A
majority of the Committee with at least 25 percent resident Canadians, present in person or by telephone or other telecommunication device that permits all persons participating in the meeting to speak to each other, shall constitute a quorum.

of any outside expert or advisor.
