providers, including ExxonMobil global capability centres and other service providers located outside of Canada; receipt of regulatory and third-party approvals in a timely manner, especially with respect to large scale emissions reduction projects; applicable laws and government policies, including with respect to climate change, greenhouse gas emissions reductions and low carbon fuels; refinery utilization and product sales; the ability to offset any ongoing or renewed inflationary pressures; cash generation, financing sources and capital structure, such as dividends and shareholder returns, including the timing and amounts of share repurchases; capital and environmental expenditures; the capture of efficiencies within and between business lines and the ability to maintain near-term cost reductions as ongoing efficiencies; and commodity prices, foreign exchange rates and general market conditions, could differ materially depending on a number of factors.

These factors include global, regional or local changes in supply and demand for oil, natural gas, petroleum and petrochemical products, feedstocks and other market factors, economic conditions and seasonal fluctuations and resulting demand, price, differential and margin impacts, including Canadian and foreign government action with respect to supply levels, prices, trade tariffs, trade sanctions or trade controls, disruptions, realignment or breaking of trade alliances or agreements or a broader breakdown in global trade, and disruptions in military alliances or wars; political or regulatory events, including changes in law or government policy, applicable royalty rates, and tax laws; environmental regulation, including climate change and greenhouse gas regulation and changes to such regulation; environmental risks inherent in oil and gas activities; government policies supporting lower carbon investment opportunities; failure, delay, reduction, revocation or uncertainty regarding supportive policy and market development for the adoption of emerging lower-emission energy technologies and other technologies that support emissions reductions; the receipt, in a timely manner, of regulatory and third-party approvals, including for new technologies relating to the company's lower emissions business activities; third-party opposition to company and service provider operations, projects and infrastructure; competition from alternative energy sources, other emission reduction technologies, and established competitors in such markets; availability and allocation of capital; availability and performance of third-party service providers, including ExxonMobil global capability centres and other service providers located outside of Canada; unanticipated technical or operational difficulties; effectiveness of company risk management programs and emergency response preparedness; project management and schedules and timely completion of projects; transportation for accessing markets; commercial negotiations; unexpected technological developments; the results of research programs and new technologies, including with respect to autonomous operations and greenhouse gas emissions, and the ability to bring new technologies to commercial scale on a commercially competitive basis; reservoir analysis and performance; the ability to develop or acquire additional reserves; operational hazards and risks; cybersecurity incidents including incidents caused by actors employing emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence; currency exchange rates; the occurrence, pace, rate of recovery and effects of public health crises, including the responses from governments; general economic conditions, including continued or renewed inflation and the occurrence and duration of economic recessions or downturns; and other factors discussed in "Item 1A Risk factors" and "Item 7 Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations" in this annual report on Form 10-K.

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve a number of risks and uncertainties, some that are similar to other oil and gas companies and some that are unique to Imperial. Imperial's actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by its forward-looking statements and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on them. Imperial undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained herein, except as required by applicable law.

Forward-looking and other statements regarding Imperial's environmental, social and other sustainability efforts and aspirations are not an indication that these statements are material to investors or require disclosure in the company's filings with securities regulators. In addition, historical, current and forward-looking environmental, social and sustainability-related statements may be based on standards for measuring progress that are still developing, internal controls and processes that continue to evolve, and assumptions that are subject to change in the future, including future rule-making.

Energy demand models are forward-looking by nature and aim to replicate system dynamics of the global energy system, requiring simplifications. The reference to any scenario in this report, including any potential net-zero scenarios, does not imply Imperial views any particular scenario as likely to occur. In addition, energy demand scenarios require assumptions on a variety of parameters. As such, the outcome of any given scenario using an energy demand model comes with a high degree of uncertainty. Third-party scenarios discussed in this report reflect the modeling assumptions and outputs of their respective authors, not Imperial, and their use by Imperial is not an endorsement by the company of their underlying assumptions, likelihood or probability.

------

Investment decisions are made on the basis of Imperial's separate planning process. Any use of the modeling of a third-party organization within this report does not constitute or imply an endorsement by Imperial of any or all of the positions or activities of such organization.

Actions needed to advance the company's medium-term greenhouse gas emission-reductions plans are incorporated into its medium-term business plans, which are updated annually. The reference case for longer-term planning is based on ExxonMobil's Global Outlook (the Outlook) research and publication. The Outlook is reflective of the existing global policy environment and an assumption of increasing policy stringency and technology improvement to 2050. However, the Outlook does not attempt to project the degree of required future policy and technology advancement and deployment for the world to meet net zero by 2050. As future policies and technology advancements emerge, they will be incorporated into the Outlook, and the company's business plans will be updated accordingly. References to projects or opportunities may not reflect investment decisions made by the company. Individual projects or opportunities may advance based on a number of factors, including availability of stable and supportive policy, permitting, technological advancement for cost-effective abatement, insights from the company planning process, and alignment with partners and other stakeholders. Capital investment guidance in lower-emission investments is based on the company's corporate plan; however, actual investment levels will be subject to the availability of the opportunity set, public policy support, and focused on returns.

The term "project" as used in this report can refer to a variety of different activities and does not necessarily have the same meaning as in any government payment transparency reports.

The estimation of proved reserve volumes, which is based on the requirement of reasonable certainty, is an ongoing process based on rigorous technical evaluations, commercial and market assessments, detailed analysis of reservoir and well performance, development and production costs, and other factors. Furthermore, the company only records proved reserves for projects which have received significant funding commitments by management made toward the development of the reserves. Although the company is reasonably certain that proved reserves will be produced, the timing and amount recovered can be affected by a number of factors, including completion and optimization of development projects, reservoir performance, and facility processing capacity. In addition, proved reserves could be affected by an extended period of low prices which could reduce the level of the company's capital spending and also impact its partners' capacity to fund their share of joint projects.

*Technologies used in establishing proved reserves estimates* 

Imperial's proved reserves in 2025 were based on estimates generated through the integration of available and appropriate geological, engineering and production data, utilizing well established technologies that have been demonstrated in the field to yield repeatable and consistent results.

Data used in these integrated assessments included information obtained directly from the subsurface via wellbores, such as well logs, reservoir core samples, fluid samples, static and dynamic pressure information, production test data, and surveillance and performance information. The data utilized also included subsurface information obtained through indirect measurements, including seismic data, calibrated with available well control information. The tools used to interpret the data included seismic processing software, reservoir modeling and simulation software, and data analysis packages.

In some circumstances, where appropriate analog reservoirs were available, reservoir parameters from these analogs were used to increase the quality of and confidence in the reserves estimates.

------

*Preparation of reserves estimates* 

Imperial has a dedicated reserves management group that is separate from the base operating organization. Primary responsibilities of this group include oversight of the reserves estimation process for compliance with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations, review of annual changes in reserves estimates and the reporting of the company's proved reserves. This group also maintains the official reserves estimates for the company's proved reserves. In addition, this group provides training to personnel involved in the reserve estimation and reporting processes within Imperial.

The reserves management group maintains a central database containing the company's official reserves estimates. Appropriate controls, including limitations on database access and update capabilities, are in place to ensure data integrity within this central database. An annual review of the system's controls is performed by internal audit. Key components of the reserves estimation process include technical evaluations, commercial and market assessments, analysis of well and field performance, and long-standing approval guidelines. No changes may be made to reserves estimates in the central database, including the addition of any new initial reserves estimates or subsequent revisions, unless those changes have been thoroughly reviewed and evaluated by duly authorized personnel within the base operating organization. In addition, changes to reserves estimates that exceed certain thresholds require further review and endorsement by the operating organization and the reserves management group, culminating in reviews with and approval by senior management and the company's board of directors.

The internal qualified reserves evaluator is a professional geoscientist registered in Alberta, Canada and has 23 years of petroleum industry experience, including 14 years of reserves related experience. During the last 5 years, the majority of such evaluator's time was spent evaluating resources. The position provides leadership to the internal reserves management group and is responsible for filing a reserves report with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities. The company's internal reserves evaluation staff consists of 20 persons with professional designations, with an average of 13 years engaged with the company's resource evaluation. The company's internal reserves evaluation management team is made up of 12 persons with an average of 10 years engaged with the company's resource evaluation.

**Proved undeveloped reserves**

As at December 31, 2025, approximately 4.9 percent of the company's proved reserves were proved undeveloped reflecting volumes of 100 million oil-equivalent barrels. Proved undeveloped reserves are associated with Cold Lake and Kearl. This compared to 227 million oil-equivalent barrels of proved undeveloped reserves reported at the end of 2024. The decrease of 127 million oil-equivalent barrels of proved undeveloped reserves is attributed to first ore extraction from Syncrude's Mildred Lake Extension - West (MLX-W) and to Cold Lake drilling start-ups, partially offset by full funding of Cold Lake drilling.

As at December 31, 2025 there were no proved undeveloped reserves that have remained undeveloped for five years or more.

One of the company's requirements to report resources as proved reserves is that management has made significant funding commitments towards the development of the reserves. The company has a disciplined investment strategy and many major fields require a long lead-time in order to be developed. The company made investments of about $291 million during the year to progress the development of proved undeveloped reserves at Cold Lake, Syncrude, and Kearl.

*Exploratory and development activities regarding oil and gas resources* 

*Cold Lake*

To maintain production at Cold Lake, capital expenditures for additional production wells and associated facilities are required periodically. In 2025, additional development wells were drilled to add productive capacity. In 2026, a development drilling program is planned within the approved development area to add productive capacity.

Additionally, in 2022, the company approved the budget for the Leming Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) project that will re-develop the original pilot area of the Cold Lake field. Development activities commenced in 2023 and first oil production was achieved in November 2025.

The company also conducts experimental pilot operations to improve recovery of bitumen from wells by means of new drilling, production or recovery techniques.

*Aspen and other in-situ oil sands activities* 

In October 2018, the company received regulatory approval for the Aspen Solvent Assisted - Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SA-SAGD) project from the AER. Development was proposed to occur in two phases, each producing about 75,000 barrels per day, before royalties. The first phase of the project was approved by the company's board, and appropriated for $2.6 billion. Construction began late in the fourth quarter of 2018. In March 2019, the company slowed the pace of development given market uncertainty stemming from the Government of Alberta's temporary mandatory production curtailment regulations and other industry competitiveness challenges. Although the Government of Alberta repealed the regulatory authority for imposing temporary production curtailments at the end of 2021, major investment remains on hold due to continued market uncertainty. Aspen's pace will continue to be evaluated as the project remains an important opportunity for Imperial. The Enhanced Bitumen Recovery Technology (EBRT) field pilot on the Aspen lease received funding approval in 2023, with development work underway for pilot start-up anticipated by 2027. The pilot will test technology that has the potential to deliver higher bitumen production rates compared to industry average SAGD operations.

------

Work progresses on technical and technology evaluations to support potential future Clarke Creek and Corner in-situ development regulatory applications.

The company also has interests in other oil sands leases in the Athabasca region of northern Alberta. Evaluation wells completed on these leased areas established the presence of bitumen. The company continues to evaluate these leases to determine their potential for future development.

*Beaufort Sea* 

The company holds a 25 percent interest in two exploration licences in the Beaufort Sea. In 2016, the Federal Government of Canada declared Arctic waters off limits to new offshore oil and gas licences for five years subject to review at the end of that period. Existing licences were not impacted. In June 2019, the Federal Government approved selective changes to the *Canada Petroleum Resources Act* to prohibit and freeze the existing licences. In 2023, the Western Arctic - Tariuq (Offshore) Accord was signed and prohibition was extended to December 31, 2028. The Federal Government plans to co-develop a climate and marine science-based review of the moratorium. The company continues to hold the licences while maintaining community engagement and participation in the process.

*Exploratory and development activities regarding oil and gas resources extracted by mining methods* 

The company continues to evaluate other undeveloped, mineable oil sands acreage in the Athabasca region.

------

**Present activities**

*Review of principal ongoing activities*

*Kearl*

Kearl is a joint venture established to recover shallow deposits of oil sands using open-pit mining methods to extract the crude bitumen, which is processed through extraction and froth treatment trains. The company holds a 70.96 percent participating interest in the joint venture and ExxonMobil Canada Properties holds the other 29.04 percent. The product, a blend of bitumen and diluent, is typically shipped to the company's refineries, Exxon Mobil Corporation refineries and to other third parties. Diluent is natural gas condensate or other light hydrocarbons added to the crude bitumen to facilitate transportation.

During 2025, the company's share of Kearl's net bitumen production was about 188,000 barrels per day and gross production was about 199,000 barrels per day.

Total gross production for Kearl was about 280,000 barrels per day (199,000 barrels Imperial's share), which is a decrease of about 1,000 barrels per day (1,000 barrels Imperial's share) compared to 2024.

*Cold Lake*

Cold Lake is an in-situ heavy oil bitumen operation. The product, a blend of bitumen and diluent, is typically shipped to the company's refineries, Exxon Mobil Corporation refineries and to other third parties.

In 2025, net bitumen production at Cold Lake was about 122,000 barrels per day. The gross production was about 151,000 barrels per day, which is an increase of about 3,000 barrels per day compared to 2024.

*Syncrude*

Syncrude is a joint venture established to recover shallow deposits of oil sands using open-pit mining methods to extract crude bitumen, and then upgrade it to produce a high-quality, light (32 degrees API), sweet, synthetic crude oil. The company holds a 25 percent participating interest in the joint venture. The produced synthetic crude oil is typically shipped to the company's refineries, Exxon Mobil Corporation refineries and to other third parties.

In 2025, the company's share of Syncrude's net production was about 68,000 barrels per day. The gross production was about 79,000 barrels per day, which is an increase of about 4,000 barrels per day compared to 2024.

The Province of Alberta, in its capacity as lessor of Kearl, Cold Lake, and Syncrude oil sands leases, is entitled to a royalty on production. Royalties are subject to the oil sands royalty regulations which are based upon a sliding scale determined largely by the price of crude oil.

*Western provinces* 

The company's bitumen leases include about 161,000 net acres of oil sands leases near Cold Lake and an area of about 34,000 net acres at Kearl. The company also has about 68,000 net acres of undeveloped, mineable oil sands acreage in the Athabasca region. In addition, the company has interests in other bitumen oil sands leases in the Athabasca areas totalling about 171,000 net acres, which include about 62,000 net acres of oil sands leases in the Clyden area, about 34,000 net acres of oil sands leases in the Aspen area, about 29,000 net acres in the Clarke Creek area, about 28,000 net acres of oil sands leases in the Corner area, and about 18,000 net acres in the Chard area. The 171,000 net acres are suitable for in-situ recovery techniques.

The company's share of Syncrude joint venture leases covering about 55,000 net acres accounts for the entire synthetic crude oil acreage.

Oil sands leases have an exploration period of 15 years and are continued beyond that point by payment of escalating rentals or by production. The majority of the acreage in Cold Lake, Kearl and Syncrude is continued by production.

The company holds interests in an additional 385,000 net acres of developed and undeveloped land in the western provinces related to crude oil and natural gas.

Crude oil and natural gas leases and licences from the western provinces have exploration periods ranging from 2 to 15 years and are continued beyond that point by proven production capability.

*Canada lands* 

Land holdings in Canada lands primarily include exploration licence (EL) acreage in the Beaufort Sea of about 252,000 net acres and significant discovery licence (SDL) acreage in the Mackenzie Delta and Beaufort Sea areas of about 183,000 net acres.

Exploration licences on Canada lands have a finite term. If a significant discovery is made, a SDL may be granted that holds the acreage under the SDL indefinitely, subject to certain conditions.

The company's net acreage in Canada lands is either continued by production or held through ELs and SDLs.

*Atlantic offshore* 

Exploration licences on Atlantic offshore have a finite term. The Atlantic offshore acreage is continued by production licences or held by SDLs.

2024

Lower refinery throughput in 2024 reflected the impact of planned turnaround activities at Nanticoke, Sarnia and Strathcona refineries.

**Distribution**

The company maintains a nationwide distribution system to move petroleum products to market by pipeline, tanker, rail and road transport. The company owns and operates fuel terminals across the country, as well as natural gas liquids and products pipelines in Alberta, Manitoba and Ontario and has interests in the capital stock of two products pipeline companies.

------

**Marketing**

The company markets petroleum products throughout Canada under well-known brand names, most notably Esso and Mobil, to all types of customers.

The company supplies petroleum products through Esso and Mobil-branded sites and independent marketers. At the end of 2025, there were about 2,600 sites operating under a branded wholesaler model, in alignment with Esso and Mobil brand standards, whereby the company supplies fuel to independent third parties.

The company also sells petroleum products, including fuel, asphalt and lubricants, to large industrial and transportation customers, independent marketers, resellers, as well as other refiners. The company serves agriculture, residential heating and commercial markets through branded fuel and lubricant resellers.

The approximate daily volumes of net petroleum products (excluding purchases/sales contracts with the same counterparty) sold during the three years ended December 31, 2025, are set out in the following table.

---

In 2024, sales volumes decreased primarily due to the reclassification of benzene and aromatic solvent sales.

------

**Delivery commitments**

The company has no material commitments to provide a fixed and determinable quantity of oil or gas under existing contracts and agreements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

**Human capital resources**

Imperial operates in a complex, competitive and changing business environment where decisions and risks play out over time horizons that are often decades in length. This long-term orientation underpins the company's philosophy on talent development.

Talent development begins with recruiting exceptional candidates and continues with individually planned experiences and training designed to facilitate broad development and a deep understanding of the company's business across the business cycle. The company's compensation is market competitive, long-term oriented, and highly differentiated by individual performance. In addition, benefits and workplace programs support the company's talent management approach, and are designed to attract and retain employees for a long-term career. Overall, this multifaceted approach has resulted in strong employee retention.

Imperial views diversity as an opportunity. The company encourages and respects diversity of thought, ideas, and perspective in its workforce. The company considers diversity through all stages of employment including recruitment, training and development of its employees. The company's goal is to reflect the mix and diversity of the communities where it operates, and it continues to focus on diverse representation at all levels of the organization.

The number of regular employees was about 5,000 at the end of 2025 (2024 - 5,100, 2023 - 5,300). Regular employees are defined as active executive, management, professional, technical, administrative, and wage employees who work full-time or part-time for the company and are covered by the company's benefit plans and programs.

On September 29, 2025, the company announced restructuring plans to improve its performance by centralizing additional corporate and technical activities in global business and technology centres. The restructuring plans include a program of targeted workforce reductions and involves involuntary employee separations. The program is expected to reduce employee roles by approximately 20% and to be substantially completed by the end of 2027.

**Competition**

The Canadian energy and petrochemical industries are highly competitive. Competition exists in the search for and development of new sources of supply, the construction and operation of crude oil, natural gas and refined products pipelines and facilities, and the refining, distribution and marketing of petroleum products and chemicals. The energy and petrochemical industries also compete with other industries in supplying the energy, fuel and chemical needs of both industrial and individual consumers. Certain industry participants, including Imperial, are expanding the scope of investments in lower-emission energy and emission-reduction services and technologies.

------

**Government regulations**

**Petroleum, natural gas and oil sands rights** 

Most of the company's petroleum, natural gas and oil sands rights were acquired from governments, either federal or provincial. These rights, in the form of leases or licences, are generally acquired for cash or work commitments. A lease or licence entitles the holder to explore for petroleum, natural gas and/or oil sands on the leased lands for a specified period.

In western provinces, the lease holder can produce the petroleum or natural gas discovered on the leased lands and retains the rights based on continued production. Oil sands leases are retained by meeting the minimum level of evaluation, payment of rentals, or by production.

The holder of a licence relating to Canada lands and the Atlantic offshore can apply for a SDL if a discovery is made. If granted, the SDL holds the lands indefinitely subject to certain conditions. The holder may then apply for a production licence in order to produce petroleum or natural gas from the licenced land.

**Project approval** 

Approvals and licences from relevant provincial or federal governmental or regulatory bodies are required for the company to carry out, or make modifications to, its oil and gas activities. The project approval process for major projects can involve, among other things, environmental assessments (including relevant mitigation measures), stakeholder and Indigenous consultation and input regarding project concerns, and public hearings. Approval may be subject to various conditions and commitments arising through these processes.

Approval of large energy projects may be impacted by the environmental assessment framework under Canada's *Impact Assessment Act* (IAA). The IAA includes broader consideration for social, health, economic and gender-based impacts, the impact on Canada's climate change commitments (including a requirement under the Strategic Assessment for Climate Change to provide a credible plan for the project to deliver net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050), reliance on strategic and regional assessments and adjusted regulatory review timelines. In October 2023, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that the new federal assessment scheme was unconstitutional in part. In November 2024, Alberta referred the constitutionality of the amended Impact Assessment Act to the Court of Appeal of Alberta. The impact of this legislation is not fully apparent, but it may impact the cost, manner, duration and ability to advance large energy projects and project expansions.

**Environmental protection** 

The company regards protecting the environment in connection with its various operations as a priority. The company is subject to extensive environmental regulations in Canada that apply to all phases of exploration, development, operation, and final closure. These requirements cover the management and monitoring of potential environmental impacts during active operations, including practices for land disturbance, wildlife protection, specifications for equipment operation and material storage and limitations on discharges to the environment. It also includes conducting environmental surveys and collecting operational measurements and sampling to confirm that practices are adequately protecting the environment. These regulations also specify the actions and requirements for final reclamation, abandonment and closure of facilities. The company works in cooperation with government agencies, industry associations and communities to address existing, and to anticipate potential, environmental protection issues. The company also maintains extensive operating procedures, processes and emergency response plans to address environmental risks at its operations.

As discussed in "Item 1A. Risk factors" in this report, compliance with existing and potential future government regulations, including environmental regulations, may have material effects on the capital expenditures, earnings, and competitive position of the company. Imperial takes new and ongoing measures throughout its operations each year to prevent and minimize the impact of its operations on air, land and water. These include significant investments in refining infrastructure and technology to manufacture fuels, continued evaluation and implementation of technologies and products to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, adherence to federal and provincial greenhouse gas emissions reduction and reporting programs, enhanced water and land management, and expenditures for asset retirement obligations. In the past five years, the company has made capital and operating expenditures of about $8.0 billion on environmental protection and facilities. In 2025, the company's environmental capital and operating expenditures totalled approximately $1.7 billion, which was spent primarily on activities to protect the land, air, and water including remediation projects. Environmental expenditures are expected to increase to approximately $2.0 billion in 2026, with capital expenditures expected

------

to account for approximately 48 percent of the total. Costs for 2027 are anticipated to be approximately $1.7 billion, with capital expenditures expected to account for approximately 41 percent of the total.

**Crude oil** 

*Production* 

The maximum allowable gross production of crude oil from wells in Canada is subject to limitations by various regulatory authorities on the basis of engineering and conservation principles.

Additionally, the Government of Alberta has in the past used temporary mandatory production curtailment regulations to impose production limits on large producers in Alberta, such as those implemented in 2019 and repealed in 2021.

*Exports* 

Export contracts of more than one year for light crude oil and petroleum products and two years for heavy crude oil (including bitumen) require the prior approval of the Canada Energy Regulator (CER) and the Government of Canada. Export contracts of less than one year for light crude oil and petroleum products and two years for heavy crude oil (including bitumen) require an order from the CER.

**Natural gas** 

*Production* 

The maximum allowable gross production of natural gas from wells in Canada is subject to limitations by various regulatory authorities. These limitations are to ensure oil recovery is not adversely impacted by accelerated gas production practices. These limitations do not impact gas reserves, only the timing of production of the reserves and did not have a significant impact on Imperial's 2025 gas production rates.

*Exports* 

The Government of Canada has the authority to regulate the export price for natural gas. Exports of natural gas from Canada require approval by the CER and the Government of Canada. The Government of Canada allows the export of natural gas by CER order without volume limitation for terms not exceeding 24 months.

**Royalties** 

The Government of Canada and the provinces in which the company produces crude oil and natural gas impose royalties on production from lands where they own the mineral rights. Some producing provinces also receive revenue by imposing taxes on production from lands where they do not own the mineral rights.

Different royalties are imposed by the Government of Canada and each of the producing provinces. Royalties imposed on crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids vary depending on a number of parameters, including well production volumes, selling prices and recovery methods. For information with respect to royalties for Kearl, Cold Lake and Syncrude, see "Upstream" section entitled "Present activities" under Item 1.

**Investment Canada Act** 

The *Investment Canada Act* requires Government of Canada approval, in certain cases, of the acquisition of control of a Canadian business by an entity that is not controlled by Canadians. The acquisition of natural resource properties may, in certain circumstances, be considered a transaction that constitutes an acquisition of control of a Canadian business requiring Government of Canada approval.

The Act also requires notification of the establishment of new unrelated businesses in Canada by entities not controlled by Canadians, but does not require Government of Canada approval except when the new business is related to Canada's cultural heritage or national identity. The Government of Canada is also authorized to take any measures that it considers advisable to protect national security, including the outright prohibition of a foreign investment in Canada.

By virtue of the majority stock ownership of the company by ExxonMobil, the company is considered to be an entity which is not controlled by Canadians.

------

**Competition Act** 

The Competition Bureau seeks to ensure that Canadian businesses and consumers prosper in a competitive and innovative marketplace. The Competition Bureau is responsible for the administration and enforcement of the *Competition Act* (the Act). A merger transaction, whether or not notifiable, is subject to examination by the Competition Bureau to determine whether the merger will have, or is likely to have, the effect of preventing or lessening substantially competition in a definable market. The assessment of the competitive effects of a merger is made with reference to the factors identified under the Act.

The Act also provides that a dominant firm (or a firm that is jointly dominant with others) can face possible prohibition orders if it engages in conduct that is intentionally anti-competitive, or if its conduct has prevented or lessened competition substantially (or is likely to do so) in a market in which it has an interest. If such a firm engaged in intentionally anti-competitive acts that resulted in a substantial prevention or lessening of competition, then the firm may be subject to administrative monetary penalties and monetary awards to persons affected, and if a prohibition order is not likely to restore competition in that market the firm may be subject to an alternative or additional remedial order to overcome the effects of the practice, including the divestiture of assets or shares.

Similarly, an agreement between competitors that substantially prevents or lessens competition may be prohibited in whole or in part. Orders may be directed against any party to the agreement or any other person, and may require additional or alternative actions to restore competition, including the divestiture of assets or shares. Agreements between non-competitors, a significant purpose of which is anti-competitive, are subject to the same framework. Administrative monetary penalties may also be imposed.

**Item 1A. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Risk factors**

Imperial's financial and operating results are subject to a variety of risks inherent in oil, gas and petrochemical businesses and the pursuit of lower-emission business opportunities. Many of these risk factors are not within Imperial's control and could adversely affect Imperial's business, financial and operating results, or financial position. These risk factors include:

**Supply and demand**

The oil, gas, fuels and petrochemical businesses are fundamentally commodity businesses. This means the company's operations and earnings may be significantly affected by changes in oil, natural gas and petrochemical prices, and by changes in margins on refined products and petrochemicals. Crude oil, natural gas, petrochemical and petroleum product prices and margins depend on local, regional, and global events or conditions that affect supply and demand for the relevant commodity or product. Commodity prices have been volatile, and the company expects that volatility to continue during the lifespan of its major assets. Any material decline in crude oil prices could have a material adverse effect on the company's Upstream operations, results, financial position, proved reserves and the amount spent to develop reserves. On the other hand, a material increase in crude oil prices could have a material adverse effect on the company's Downstream margins, depending on the market conditions for refined products. The company's pursuit of lower-emission business opportunities including carbon capture and storage, hydrogen, lower-emission fuels, and lithium also depends on the growth and development of markets for those products and services, including implementation of supportive and stable government policies and developments in technology to enable those products and services to be provided on a cost-effective basis at commercial scale. See "Climate change, energy transition and greenhouse gas restrictions" in this Item 1A. The company may also be impacted by changes in other commodities the company utilizes, such as prices and availability of feedstocks for lower-emission fuels including renewable diesel.

*Economic conditions*

The demand for energy and petrochemicals is generally linked closely with broad-based economic activities and levels of prosperity. The occurrence of economic downturns, recessions or other periods of low or negative economic growth will typically have a direct adverse impact on the company's results. Other factors that affect general economic conditions, such as changes in population growth rates or living standards, government regulation or austerity programs, national or regional trade tariffs, trade sanctions or trade controls, international monetary and currency exchange rate fluctuations, decoupling of economies, disruptions to or realignment or breaking of current or historical military alliances, security or public health issues and responses, extended government shutdowns, the inability to access debt markets due to rating, banking, or legal constraints, liquidity crises, market bubbles and corrections, de-dollarization in global trade or the growth or use of alternative common currencies, and other events or conditions that impair the functioning of financial markets and institutions, also pose risks to the company, including risks to the safety of the company's financial assets and to the ability of the company's partners, suppliers and customers to fulfill their commitments to the company.

Disruptions to or realignment or breaking of current or historical trade alliances or agreements or global trade and supply chain networks, changes in international trade patterns or shipping routes, or a broader breakdown in global trade, pose risks. During 2025, the United States announced a variety of trade-related actions, including the imposition of tariffs on imports from Canada and other countries. In response, Canada announced its own retaliatory tariffs. The United States and Canada have continued to discuss a potential end to or reduction in such tariffs, but the full impact and duration of such tariffs is uncertain. Furthermore, there remains a possibility of further escalation in the trade dispute, and there is uncertainty regarding the future status of existing international trade agreements to which Canada is a party, including the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement on trade. Although the impact of such actions on Imperial and its partners, suppliers and customers is uncertain, such actions could depress economic activity, reduce demand for the company's products, limit or disrupt supply chains, increase costs, reduce market prices and export volumes of the company's products, or otherwise have a material adverse effect on the company's business, financial condition or results of operations.

*Other demand-related factors*

Factors that may affect the demand for crude oil, gas, fuels and petrochemicals, and therefore could impact the company's results, include technological improvements in energy efficiency; seasonal weather patterns; increased competitiveness of, or government policy support for, alternative energy sources or potential substitutes for the company's products; new product quality regulations; technological changes or consumer preferences that alter fuel choices, such as technological advances in energy storage or other critical areas that make wind, solar, nuclear or other alternatives more competitive for power generation; government actions to increase strategic reserves to enhance energy security; increased demand for artificial intelligence, including the construction and expansion of artificial intelligence data centers; changes in customer or consumer

------

preferences for the company's products, including consumer demand for alternative fuel or electric transportation or alternatives to plastic products; broad-based changes in personal income levels, interest rates and inflation; and security or public health issues and responses such as epidemics and pandemics. See also "Climate change, energy transition and greenhouse gas restrictions" in this Item 1A below.

*Other supply-related factors*

Commodity prices and margins also vary depending on a number of factors affecting supply. For example, increased supply from the development of new or previously inaccessible oil and gas supply sources and technologies to enhance recovery from existing sources tends to reduce commodity prices to the extent such supply increases are not offset by commensurate growth in demand. Similarly, increases in industry refining or petrochemical manufacturing capacity relative to demand tend to reduce margins on affected products. Crude oil, gas and petrochemical supply levels can also be affected by factors that reduce available supplies, such as the level of and adherence by participating countries or others to production quotas established by OPEC or "OPEC+" and other agreements among sovereigns; government policies that restrict (or may have a consequence of restricting) oil and gas production or exports, or increase associated production, reporting or compliance costs, including actions intended to reduce greenhouse gas emissions as described under "Climate change, energy transition and greenhouse gas restrictions" in this Item 1A, and previous Government of Alberta curtailment regulations; collective actions by non-governmental organizations and financial institutions to withhold funding or support from oil and gas producers; the occurrence of wars or hostile actions, including disruption of land or sea transportation routes; natural disasters; trade tariffs, sanctions or broader breakdowns in global trade; disruptions in competitors' operations; and unexpected pipeline or rail constraints that may disrupt and have in the past disrupted supplies. For example, Russia's military action in Ukraine impacted global crude oil and gas supply levels and prices, and contributed to a volatile commodity environment. There also may be new or emerging factors that could increase global oil, gas, and petrochemical supply levels in the short or long term, such as government policies and actions intended to boost or expand development of domestic or foreign oil and gas reserves or accelerate the pace of production reaching the market, including access to previously unavailable, sanctioned, or protected oil and gas resources or the availability or opening of new shipping routes. Dynamic and unpredictable world events may lead to new oil and gas opportunities becoming available or current opportunities becoming less available or unavailable, and such events may adversely affect the company's business and results to the extent that the company is unable to compete effectively for, or is excluded from, such opportunities or any new or existing investments result in reduced returns. Technological change can also alter the relative costs for competitors to find, produce, and refine oil and gas and to manufacture petrochemicals.

*Canadian-specific market factors*

The market price for western Canadian heavy crude oil is typically lower than light and medium grades of oil, principally due to the higher transportation and refining costs. Western Canadian crude oil may also be subject to limits on transportation capacity to markets. Future crude price differentials between western Canadian crude oil relative to prices in the U.S. Gulf Coast are uncertain and changes in the heavy or light crude oil differentials could have a material adverse effect on the company's business. For example, the United States government has indicated it may reduce trade sanctions on Venezuela and take certain steps intended to increase the volume of crude oil produced in Venezuela, and either of these actions could adversely impact western Canadian crude oil price differentials compared to the U.S. Gulf Coast and therefore the company's business. Additionally, in the past, increased differentials have led the Government of Alberta to enact temporary mandatory production curtailment regulations that imposed production limits on large producers in Alberta, such as Imperial; although the regulatory authority to impose curtailments was repealed at the end of 2021, the use of similar curtailment regulations in the future could have an adverse effect on the company's business. A significant portion of the company's production is bitumen, which is blended with diluent for transportation and marketability of heavy crude oil. Increases to diluent prices, relative to heavy crude oil prices, could also have an adverse effect on the company's business.

*Other market factors*

Market factors may also result in losses from commodity derivatives and other instruments used to hedge price exposures or for commodity and treasury trading activities. Imperial's future business results, including cash flows and financing needs, may also be affected by the occurrence, severity, pace and rate of recovery of future public health epidemics or pandemics, the responsive actions taken by governments and others, and the resulting effects on regional and global markets and economies. If the company's mitigation and response efforts prove insufficient, then large outbreaks of epidemics, pandemics or other health crises at operating sites, particularly in remote locations and where work camps are utilized, could materially impact the company's personnel and its operations, reducing productivity and increasing costs.

**Government and political factors**

Imperial's results can be adversely impacted by political, legal or regulatory developments affecting operations and markets. Changes in government policy or regulations, changes in law or interpretation of settled law,

------

challenges to legislative jurisdiction between different levels of government, third-party opposition to company or infrastructure projects, and duration of regulatory reviews could impact the company's existing operations and planned projects. This includes actions by governments, policy makers, regulators or other actors to delay or deny necessary licences and permits; pause, reduce or retract government incentives for emissions reductions; disrupt or impact reliability as a result of policy decisions on types and pricing of energy available; or restrict the availability of oil and gas leases, investment opportunities or the operation of third-party infrastructure on which the company relies, such as pipelines to transport the company's Upstream production to market or that supply feedstock to the company's refineries. Additionally, changes in environmental regulations, assessment processes or other laws (including but not limited to in respect of climate change and greenhouse gas emissions and company communications relating thereto), regulatory interpretations that exclude or disfavour the company's products under government policies or programs intended to support new or developing markets or technologies or that are otherwise not technology-neutral, and increasing and expanding consultation with stakeholders and Indigenous communities, may increase the cost of compliance or reduce or delay available business opportunities and adversely impact the company's results.

Other government and political factors that could adversely affect the company's financial results include increases or changes in taxes or government royalty rates (including retroactive claims or punitive taxes on oil, gas and petrochemical operations) and changes in trade policies and agreements (including those potential tariffs and retaliatory actions discussed above in this Item 1A under "Economic conditions"). Changes in taxation policy could impact the company's financial results and ability to return surplus cash to shareholders. Further, the adoption of regulations mandating efficiency standards, emission standards, procurement standards, or the use of alternative fuels or uncompetitive fuel components, could affect the company's operations. Many governments are providing tax advantages and other subsidies to support alternative energy sources or are mandating the use of specific fuels or technologies. Governments are also introducing bans on certain technologies that could impact demand for products, such as the Government of Canada's regulations to gradually reduce the proportion of permitted sales of new internal combustion engine cars and light trucks from 2026-2034 and ban such sales beginning in 2035. Governments and others are also promoting research into new technologies to reduce the cost and increase the scalability of alternative energy sources, and the success of these initiatives may decrease demand for the company's products. Actions by policy makers, regulators or others may require changes in the company's business or strategy that could result in reduced returns.

Governments may establish regulations with respect to the control of the company's production, such as the Government of Alberta's temporary mandatory production curtailment regulations that were in effect from 2019 through 2021, as discussed in the "Supply and demand" section above. Government intervention in free markets may introduce unintended consequences such as market volatility and uncertainty, misallocation of resources, and erosion of investor confidence.

**Environmental risks** 

All phases of the Upstream, Downstream and Chemical businesses are subject to environmental regulation pursuant to a variety of Canadian federal, provincial, territorial and municipal laws and regulations, as well as international conventions (collectively, "environmental legislation").

Environmental legislation imposes, among other things, restrictions, liabilities and obligations in connection with the generation, handling, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of hazardous substances and waste and in connection with spills, releases and emissions of various substances into the environment. As well, environmental regulations are imposed on the qualities and compositions of the products sold and imported, and include those aimed at reducing consumption or addressing environmental concerns with certain end products. Changes to these requirements could adversely affect the company's results by impacting commodity prices, increasing costs and reducing revenues.

Environmental legislation also requires that wells, facility sites and other properties associated with the company's operations be operated, maintained, monitored, abandoned and reclaimed to the satisfaction of applicable regulatory authorities. This includes the requirement for specific approvals for many areas of interaction with the environment, such as land use, air quality, water use, biodiversity protection and waste, including mine tailings management. The failure to operate as anticipated and adhere to conditions, the delay or denial of approvals, and changes to conditions or regulations, could negatively impact the company's ability to operate its projects and facilities (including but not limited to resulting in mandatory facility shutdowns or suspensions) and adversely affect the company's results.

*Regulation of air, water and land*

The implementation of, and compliance with, policies and regulations related to air, water and land, such as Alberta's Lower Athabasca Regional Plan and Wetland Policy applicable to the company's oil sands assets, could restrict development in current and future areas of operation. Of note, there are currently a number of court actions against the government by Indigenous groups regarding the assessment of cumulative impacts and infringement on exercise of treaty rights. These cases may inform future government decisions and policies

------

regarding land use planning and resource development, and could impact the requirements or willingness to grant regulatory licenses or approvals. The company also depends on water obtained under licences for withdrawal, storage, reuse and discharge in both its Upstream and Downstream businesses, including future projects and expansions. Water use may be limited by regulatory requirements, seasonal fluctuations, regional drought, competing demands, environmental sensitivities, increasingly stringent water management standards, and changes to conditions or availability of licences, which may restrict and adversely affect the company's operations. Additionally, a number of air quality regulations and frameworks are being developed or have been implemented at the federal and provincial levels, including sulphur dioxide limits for refineries in Ontario, and volatile organic compounds and benzene controls required for petroleum liquid storage tanks and loading operations at refining and terminal locations, and could impact existing and planned operations and projects through increased capital and operating expenses including retrofits to existing equipment, and could adversely impact the company's operations and financial results.

*Regulation of wildlife*

Federal and provincial legislation aimed at protecting sensitive, threatened or endangered wildlife, such as woodland caribou and species of migratory birds, may also increase restoration and offset costs and impact the company's projects. If it is determined that such wildlife and their habitat are not sufficiently protected, governments or other parties may take actions to limit the pace or ability to develop in areas of Imperial's current and future projects.

*Regulation of oil sands*

The company's mining operations are, among other regulations, subject to tailings management regulations that establish approval, monitoring, reporting and performance criteria for tailings ponds and management plans. A failure or perceived failure to satisfy the requirements or if the company's tailings management operations do not operate in the manner anticipated by the company or third parties could materially impact the company's ability to operate its assets. Further, the absence or evolving nature of policies and regulations for the timing and closure of tailings ponds, including the approved technologies and methods for closure (such as the use of end pit lakes and water-capped tailings), and dam safety and delicensing directives, regulations, guides and abandonment requirements, could have a material impact on conditions for approvals and ultimate mine closure costs. Additionally, successful management and closure requires the release of water to the environment, and although an Alberta water release policy and federal oil sands effluent regulations are being developed, the timing and impact of these regulations is uncertain and the absence of effective regulation could negatively impact the company's operations and financial results.

*Environmental assessments*

In addition, certain types of operations, including exploration and development projects and significant changes to certain existing projects, may require the submission and approval of environmental impact assessments mandated under both federal and provincial regulations. The Government of Canada's environmental assessment framework under the *Impact Assessment Act* expands assessment considerations beyond the environment to include social, health, economic, and gender-based impacts and the impact on Canada's climate change commitments (including a requirement under the Strategic Assessment for Climate Change to provide a credible plan for the project to deliver net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050). It also includes a reliance on strategic and regional assessments and adjusted regulatory review timelines. In October 2023, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that the new federal assessment scheme was unconstitutional in part. In November 2024, Alberta referred the constitutionality of the amended *Impact Assessment Act* to the Court of Appeal of Alberta. The impact of this legislation is not fully apparent, but it may impact the cost, manner, duration and ability to advance large energy projects and project expansions.

*Compliance costs*

Compliance with environmental legislation can require significant expenditures and failure to comply with environmental legislation may result in the cessation of operations, imposition of fines and penalties, and liability for clean-up costs and damages.

The costs of complying with environmental legislation in the future could have a material adverse effect on the company's financial condition or results of operations. The company anticipates that changes in environmental legislation may require, among other things, reductions in emissions from its operations to the air and water and may result in increased capital expenditures. Changes in environmental legislation (including, but not limited to, application of regulations related to air, water, land, biodiversity and waste, such as mine tailings and the production or use of new or recycled plastics, as well as laws and regulations affecting production of the company's products, trading, carbon capture and storage, hydrogen, lower-emission fuels or lithium) or changes in advertising, insurance or other laws that penalize the company for past or current production of legal and/or permitted products and operations may increase the cost of operation or compliance or reduce or delay available business opportunities. Future changes in environmental legislation and the enforcement of regulations could occur and result in stricter standards and enforcement, larger fines, penalties and liability, and

------

increased capital expenditures and operating costs, which could have a material adverse effect on the company's financial condition or results of operations.

*Risk management*

There are operational risks inherent in oil and gas exploration and production activities, as well as the potential to incur substantial financial liabilities, if the company does not manage those risks effectively. Environmental hazards and risks, including severe weather, drought, forest fires and geological events, may impact the company's operational performance. For example, the company's oil sands operations have in the past been particularly affected by extreme cold or wet weather and wildfires. The ability to insure risks is limited by the capacity of the applicable insurance markets, which may not be sufficient to cover the likely cost of a major adverse operating event. Accordingly, the company's primary focus is on prevention, including through its rigorous operations integrity management system. The company's future results will depend on the continued effectiveness of these efforts. See also "Safety, business controls and risk management" under "Operational and other factors" in this Item 1A below.

**Climate change, energy transition and greenhouse gas restrictions** 

*Greenhouse gas emissions reductions* 

Driven by concern over the risks of climate change, the provinces and the Government of Canada have adopted or have revised regulatory frameworks to report on or reduce greenhouse gas emissions including emissions from the production and use of oil and gas and their products, as well as increase the use of or support for different emission-reduction technologies. These actions are being taken both independently by national and regional governments and within the framework of United Nations Conference of the Parties' summits under which Canada has endorsed objectives to reduce the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) over the coming decades, with an ambition ultimately to achieve "net zero". Net zero means that emissions of greenhouse gases from human activities would be balanced by actions that remove such gases from the atmosphere. Expectations for transition of the world's energy system to lower-emission sources, and ultimately net zero, derive from hypothetical scenarios that reflect many assumptions about the future (including supportive policy and technology advancements) and reflect substantial uncertainties. The company's actions with respect to the energy transition carry risks that the transition, including underlying technologies, government policies, and markets as discussed in more detail below, will not be available or develop at the pace or in the manner estimated by current net-zero scenarios. The success of Imperial's strategy for the energy transition will also depend on its ability to recognize key signposts of changes in the global energy system on a timely basis, and the corresponding ability to direct investment to the technologies and businesses, at the appropriate stage of development, to best capitalize on the company's competitive strengths. The company's results may be impacted if the implementation pace and uncertainty of policy reduces the global competitiveness of the Canadian oil and gas industry and the company's crude oil and refined products. Political government changes may create further policy uncertainty resulting in greater investment uncertainty and industry competitiveness concerns.

*Greenhouse gas restrictions* 

Government actions intended to reduce greenhouse gas emissions include adoption of carbon emissions pricing, cap and trade regimes, carbon taxes, emissions limits, increased mileage and other efficiency standards, low carbon fuels standards, mandates for sales of electrical vehicles, restrictions on sales of gasoline-only vehicles, mandates for disclosure of plans to reduce emissions or reduce the use or production of certain products, mandates for use of specific fuels or technologies, and other incentives or mandates designed to support certain technologies for transitioning to lower-emission energy sources. International accords and underlying regional and national regulations covering climate change and greenhouse gas emissions continue to evolve with uncertain timing and outcome, making it difficult to predict their business impact. Such laws and policies could make the company's products more expensive or less competitive, reduce or delay available business opportunities, reduce demand for hydrocarbons, and shift hydrocarbon demand toward lower greenhouse gas emission energy sources. Current, pending and potential greenhouse gas regulations or policies may also increase compliance costs (such as complying with increased or mandatory disclosure or due diligence requirements and government mandated energy transition plans), increase abatement costs including taxes and levies, increase abandonment and reclamation obligations and impact decommissioning timelines, lengthen project evaluation and implementation times, impact reserves evaluations and affect operations. Increased costs may not be recoverable in the marketplace, could negatively affect the company's returns and could reduce the global competitiveness of the company's crude oil, natural gas and refined products.

In 2024, the Government of Canada updated its nationally determined contribution (NDC) under the Paris Agreement on climate change, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions economy-wide by 45 to 50 percent below 2005 levels by 2035, a substantial increase in ambition beyond its original and prior NDC. To implement these goals, the Government of Canada uses a number of policy tools including the *Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act* (GGPPA), which sets a federal backstop carbon price Canada-wide through a carbon levy applied to fossil fuels ($50 per tonne CO2 equivalent emissions starting in 2022 and increasing by $15 per tonne annually to

------

$170 per tonne in 2030), and an output-based pricing system for large industrial emitters. Under the GGPPA, provinces are required to either adopt the GGPPA, or obtain equivalency by adopting a price-based system (with a minimum of the federal carbon pricing) or a cap and trade system. Further, in 2021 the Government of Canada enacted legislation to formalize Canada's target to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 and establish interim emissions reductions targets at five year intervals. Under the Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act, the Government of Canada is required to develop an emissions reduction plan for 2030 consistent with achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, and additional sector specific regulations may be developed to achieve this target. Under a November 2025 Memorandum of Understanding between the Government of Canada and the Government of Alberta, Canada and Alberta both confirmed they remain committed to achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.

The Government of Alberta obtained federal equivalency for its Technology Innovation and Emissions Reduction Regulation (TIER) that came into effect in 2020 and applies to facilities with CO2 emissions in excess of 100,000 tonnes per year. TIER is designed to reduce emissions by putting a price on a nominal percentage of a facility's emissions, which percentage increases annually in accordance with TIER (for oil sands mining and upgrading facilities, the percentage has increased from 20% for 2020 to 26% for 2026, and is to continue to increase to 38% by 2030 under current regulations). In a November 2025 Memorandum of Understanding, the Government of Canada and the Government of Alberta committed to work collaboratively to design and commit to globally competitive, long-term carbon effective prices, carbon levy recycling protocols, and sector-specific stringency factors for Alberta emitters in the oil and gas and electricity sectors through Alberta's TIER system, which will ramp up to a minimum effective credit price of $130 per tonne, although the date for introduction of the effective price and the rate of price increases over time remain to be determined. In December 2025, the Government of Alberta introduced a compliance pathway under TIER allowing facilities to earn compliance credits though investments in approved emissions-reduction projects in Alberta. Further, the Alberta Oil Sands Emissions Limit Act sets a limit of 100 megatonnes of CO2 per year of emissions in the oil sands sector, but oil sands emissions remain below the limit and it is not yet possible to predict the impact of this act on the company's future oil sands operations in Alberta. With respect to other provinces, Ontario obtained federal equivalency for its Emissions Performance System, which put a price on 8 percent of a facility's emissions in 2022. The price increased by 2.4 percent in 2023 and 1.5 percent in 2024, and will increase by 1.5 percent per year thereafter. British Columbia has carbon pricing in place for all industrial emissions, with pricing that matches the federal carbon pricing schedule since 2022. Increases in carbon pricing could adversely impact the company's operations and financial results unless the company can adapt its operations through technological innovation and investment in a cost-effective manner or meet compliance through offset credits or other mechanisms.

There are also various renewable and low carbon fuel standards being developed or already applicable to the company's products. In 2022, the Government of Canada finalized the Clean Fuel Regulations, which require the reduction in carbon intensity of liquid transportation fuels supplied in Canada starting in July 2023. The regulations require fuel suppliers to reduce the carbon intensity of gasoline and diesel by reducing the GHG emissions within the fossil fuel life cycle, blending in low carbon intensity renewables or fuel switching away from fossil fuels. Similarly, British Columbia introduced a Low Carbon Fuel Standard in 2013, which increased to a 10 percent carbon intensity reduction requirement in 2020. Beginning in 2023, the British Columbia government has further increased the carbon intensity reductions to a total of 30 percent by 2030 (compared to the 2010 baseline). Compliance can be achieved by either blending renewable fuels with low carbon intensity or by purchasing credits. In 2025, both Ontario and British Columbia introduced domestic (Canadian) renewable fuel content requirements into their provincial fuel regulations.

The Government of Canada's *Impact Assessment Ac*t links environmental assessment approvals to climate change-related goals, and has also discussed a goal of establishing legally-binding policies for being carbon-neutral by 2050. Changes and policies related to this act could adversely impact the company's ability to progress new oil sands projects. Uncertainty exists regarding federal overreach into provincial jurisdiction to implement such changes and policies. In October 2023, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that the *Impact Assessment Act* was unconstitutional in part. In November 2024, Alberta referred the constitutionality of the amended *Impact Assessment Act* to the Court of Appeal of Alberta. The impact of this legislation is not fully apparent.

Governments may also impose restrictions on production of, or emissions from, oil and gas and electricity to the extent they view such measures as a viable approach for pursuing national and global energy and climate policies. For example, following the publication of a regulatory framework in December 2023, in November 2024, the Government of Canada released proposed regulations that will impose a cap on greenhouse gas emissions from upstream oil and gas activities by 2030, and in December 2024 the Government of Canada released final Clean Electricity Regulations that will require reductions in the carbon intensity of electricity provided to the grid between 2035 and 2050. Although the Government of Canada and Government of Alberta entered into a Memorandum of Understanding in November 2025, under which the Government of Canada committed to not implement the oil and gas emissions cap and to suspend the Clean Electricity Regulations in

------

Alberta pending a new carbon pricing agreement with Alberta to be negotiated in 2026, many details remain to be determined and uncertainty about the future of these policies remains. Concern over the risks of climate change may lead governments to make laws applicable to the energy industry progressively more stringent over time. Political actors, non-governmental organizations, and their agents also seek to collectively advance climate change objectives indirectly, such as by seeking to reduce the availability or increase the cost of financing and investment in the oil and gas sector. These actions include delaying or blocking needed infrastructure, utilizing shareholder governance mechanisms against companies or their shareholders or financial institutions in an effort to deter investments in oil and gas activities, and taking other actions intended to promote changes in business strategy for oil and gas companies.

*Technology and lower-emission solutions*

Achieving societal ambitions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and ultimately achieve net-zero emissions will require new technologies and added infrastructure to reduce the cost and increase the scalability of solutions to reduce emissions. The company is continuing research and collaboration efforts to advance the development and deployment of carbon capture and storage, hydrogen, lower-emission fuels and lithium. The company's future results and ability to succeed through the energy transition while helping meet Canada's emission-reduction goals and meet its own emission reduction goals will depend in part on the success of these research and collaboration efforts. It will also rely on the company's ability to adapt and apply the strengths of its current business model to providing the energy products of the future in a cost-competitive manner.

*Policy and market development* 

The scale of the world's energy system means that, in addition to developments in technology discussed above, meeting society's needs for energy and reducing emissions will require appropriate support from governments and private participants throughout the global economy. Ultimately, market solutions with sound business fundamentals are necessary to incentivize and sustain wide-spread solutions that drive emissions reductions. The company's ability to develop and deploy carbon capture and storage, hydrogen, lower-emission fuels, lithium, and other new energy technologies at commercial scale will depend in part on the development of stable and supportive government policies and markets. Failure or delay of these policies or markets to materialize or be maintained, or the development of these policies or markets in a manner that differs from the company's expectations, could adversely impact or delay these investments. Policy and other actions that result in restricting the availability of hydrocarbon products without a commensurate reduction in demand may have unpredictable adverse effects, including increased commodity price volatility; periods of significantly higher commodity prices and resulting inflationary pressures; and local or regional energy shortages. Such effects, in turn, may depress economic growth or lead to rapid or conflicting shifts in policy by different actors, with resulting adverse effects on the company's business.

In addition, the existence of supportive policies in any jurisdiction is not a guarantee that those policies will continue in the future. The company's operations and planned projects that have been developed with regard to current or anticipated policies, including but not limited to policies relating to carbon emission credits, may become uneconomic or otherwise adversely impacted if such policies change or are not adopted as anticipated. See also the discussion of "Supply and demand", "Government and political factors", and "Project management" in this Item 1A.

**Currency** 

Prices for commodities produced by the company are commonly benchmarked in U.S. dollars. The majority of Imperial's sales and purchases are related to these industry U.S. dollar benchmarks. As the company records and reports its financial results in Canadian dollars, to the extent that the value of the Canadian dollar strengthens, the company's reported earnings will be negatively affected. The company does not currently make use of derivative instruments to offset exposures associated with foreign currency.

**Other business risks** 

*Reliance upon third-party suppliers, service providers and ExxonMobil global capability centres*

Imperial is reliant on a number of key chemicals, catalysts and third-party service providers, including input and output commodity transportation (pipelines, rail, trucking, marine) and utilities providing services, including electricity and water, to various company operations. The lack of availability, capacity or proximity, with respect to pipeline facilities and railcars, could negatively impact the company's ability to produce at capacity levels. Transportation disruptions, including those caused by events unrelated to the company's operations, could adversely affect the company's price realizations, refining and other operations, and sales volumes. This includes outages of key third-party infrastructure, such as pipelines servicing the company's oil sands assets or pipelines supplying feedstock to its refineries, which could impact the company's ability to operate its assets or

------

limit the ability to deliver production and products to market. A third-party utilities outage could have an adverse impact on the company's operations and ability to produce.

The company also enters into contractual relationships with suppliers, partners and other counterparties to procure and sell goods and services, including with counterparties located outside of Canada. Furthermore, the company has agreements with affiliates of ExxonMobil to provide services to the company and to share common business and operational support services to allow the companies to consolidate duplicate work and systems and benefit from global best practices and expertise, and in 2025 the company announced restructuring plans to centralize additional corporate and technical activities in ExxonMobil global business and technology centres, leveraging its relationship with ExxonMobil to realize substantial efficiency and effectiveness benefits from scale, integration and technology. The company's operations, market position and financial condition may be adversely impacted if these counterparties fail to fulfil their obligations. For counterparties located outside of Canada, the risk of such failure may be enhanced and the company's ability to mitigate against such failure may be reduced as a result of a lack of physical proximity, foreign government actions or other geopolitical factors.

*Litigation*

The company may also be adversely affected by the outcome of litigation, including class actions or arbitrations, and by government investigations or enforcement, in respect of greenhouse gas emissions, the promotion of the company's products, or alleged non-compliance with applicable laws or regulations. Such proceedings are subject to uncertainty and success is not guaranteed, and the company may incur significant expenses and devote significant resources in defending such proceedings.

*Operating costs and inflation*

Current and future increases in operating costs such as energy, transportation and materials, including through shipping, supply chain disruptions and inflationary cost pressures, could adversely affect the company's financial results if it is unable to control or offset these costs. In addition to direct potential impacts on the company's costs and revenues, market factors such as rates of inflation may indirectly impact results to the extent such factors reduce general rates of economic growth and therefore energy demand, as discussed under "Supply and demand". As inflationary pressures generally stabilized in Canada and other countries during 2025, many governments were able to lower interest rates over the period. Potential tariffs and retaliatory actions discussed above in this Item 1A under "Economic conditions" could reintroduce inflationary effects and may adversely impact the company through availability of financing, cost of debt, and exchange rate fluctuations. Additional information regarding the potential future impact of market factors on the company's businesses is included or incorporated by reference under "Item 7A Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk" in this report.

**Operational and other factors** 

In addition to external economic and political factors, Imperial's future business results also depend on the company's ability to successfully manage those factors that are at least in part within its control, including its capital allocation into existing and new businesses. The extent to which the company manages these factors will impact its performance relative to competition. For projects in which the company is not the operator such as Syncrude, Imperial depends on the management effectiveness of one or more co-venturers whom the company does not control.

*Project management* 

The nature of the company's Upstream, Downstream and Chemical businesses depend on complex, long-term, and capital intensive projects that require a high degree of project management expertise to maximize efficiency. This includes development, engineering, construction, commissioning and ongoing operational activities and expertise. The company's results are affected by its ability to develop and operate projects and facilities as planned, and by events or conditions that affect the advancement, operation, cost or results of such projects or facilities. These risks include the company's ability to obtain the necessary environmental and other regulatory approvals; changes in regulations; the ability to negotiate successfully with joint venturers, partners, governments, suppliers, customers and others; the ability to protect and enforce the company's contractual and legal rights (including with joint venture partners); the ability to model and optimize reservoir performance and production reliability; changes in resources and operating costs including the availability and cost of materials, equipment and qualified personnel; the ability to qualify for certain incentives available under supportive government policies for emerging markets and technologies; the impact of general economic, business and market conditions; and the company's ability to prevent, to the extent possible, and respond effectively to unforeseen technical difficulties that could delay project start-up or cause unscheduled downtime.

------

*Operational efficiency*

An important component of Imperial's competitive performance, especially given the commodity-based nature of the company's business, is the ability to operate efficiently, including the company's ability to manage expenses and improve production yields on an ongoing basis. This requires continuous management focus, including technological integration and improvements, cost control, productivity enhancements and regular reappraisal of the company's asset portfolio. The company's operations and results also depend on key personnel and subject matter expertise, the recruitment, development and retention of high caliber employees, and the availability of skilled labour.

*Research and development and technical change*

Imperial relies upon the research and development organizations of the company and ExxonMobil, with whom the company conducts shared research. Innovation and technology are important to maintain the company's competitive position, especially in light of the technological nature of Imperial's business, the dynamic and rapidly evolving technological landscape, and the need for continuous efficiency improvement.

The company's research and development organizations must be able to adapt to a changing market, regulatory and policy environment, including developing or deploying technologies to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions intensity. To remain competitive, the company must also continuously adapt and capture the benefits of new and emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence, including growing the company's capabilities to utilize digital data technologies to gain new business insights and support business decisions and operations.

There are risks associated with existing and new operations and projects that rely on new technology, including that the results of implementing the new technology may differ from simulated, piloted or expected results. The failure to develop and adopt new technology may have an adverse impact on the company's operations, ability to meet regulatory requirements and operational commitments and targets (including those relating to environmental sustainability and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions), and financial results.

The company's Kearl site has converted all of its haul trucks to autonomous operation. The autonomous system is composed of perception systems, sensors and mechanical components on each truck, which feed information to a number of onboard computer systems. These onboard computer systems send real time information over a wireless network to a central server and database that displays real time information to central control room operators who manage the overall fleet's operation. Computer automation systems are used to both maneuver the individual trucks and in an overarching truck assignment application which manages truck routing patterns. The use of the autonomous system helps the company to capture productivity improvements while also reducing costs and further enhancing operational safety. Failure of the autonomous system to operate as intended could result in material adverse impacts to production at the Kearl site and the company's financial results, physical harm to people or the environment, damage or destruction of company assets, and negative reputational consequences. The company applies risk management, internal controls and controls management systems in respect of these risks relating to autonomous haul trucks, as described in "Safety, business controls and risk management" in this Item 1A below. See also "Cybersecurity" and "Reputation" in this Item 1A below.

*Safety, business controls and risk management*

The scope and nature of the company's operations present a variety of significant hazards and risks, including operational hazards and risks such as explosions, fires, pipeline ruptures and crude oil, chemical or produced water spills. Imperial's operations are also subject to the additional hazards of pollution, releases of toxic gas and environmental hazards and risks, including severe weather (such as extreme cold or wet weather events that have previously impacted the company's oil sands operations), drought, forest fires and geological events. The company's results and ability to achieve its business objectives depend on effectively identifying, assessing, and mitigating these inherent risks, maintaining robust operational integrity, and reducing the potential for human error. To manage these risks, the company applies rigorous management systems, including an integrated operations integrity management system framework, structured processes for equipment inspection, surveillance, maintenance and replacement, and ongoing enhancements to critical safeguards. The company also maintains a disciplined framework of internal controls and applies a controls management system for monitoring compliance with this framework. The company's Upstream and Downstream operations may experience loss of production, slowdowns or shutdowns and increased costs due to the failure of interdependent systems, and substantial liabilities and other adverse impacts could result if the company's management systems and controls do not function as intended.

------

*Preparedness*

The company's operations have been and in the future may be disrupted by severe weather events, natural disasters, human error, cyberattacks, and similar events. The company's facilities are designed, engineered, constructed, and operated to withstand a variety of extreme climatic and other conditions, with safety factors built in to cover a number of uncertainties, including those associated with permafrost stability, temperature extremes, extreme rainfall events, earthquakes and other events. The company's consideration of changing weather conditions and inclusion of safety factors in design cover the engineering uncertainties that climate change and other events may potentially introduce. Imperial's ability to mitigate the adverse impacts of these events depends in part upon the effectiveness of its robust facility engineering, rigorous emergency preparedness and response, and business continuity planning.

*Cybersecurity*

The company is regularly subject to attempted cybersecurity disruptions from a variety of sources, including state-sponsored actors and actors potentially employing emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence technologies. The company's defensive preparedness includes multi-layered technological capabilities for prevention and detection of cybersecurity disruptions: non-technological measures such as threat information sharing with governmental and industry groups; annual internal training and awareness campaigns including routine testing of employee awareness via mock threats; and an emphasis on resiliency including business response and recovery. See "Item 1C. Cybersecurity" for information on the company's program for managing cybersecurity risks.

The company has limited ability to influence third parties, including the company's partners, suppliers, service providers (including providers of cloud-based services for the company's data or applications) and customers, to implement strong cybersecurity controls, and the company is exposed to potential harm from cybersecurity events that may affect their operations.

If the measures the company is taking to protect against cybersecurity disruptions prove to be insufficient or if the company's proprietary data is otherwise not protected, the company, as well as its customers, employees or third parties, could be adversely affected. Cybersecurity disruptions could cause physical harm to people or the environment; damage or destroy assets; compromise business systems; result in proprietary information being altered, lost or stolen; result in employee, customer or third-party information being compromised; or otherwise disrupt the company's business operations. The company could incur significant costs to remedy the effects of a major cybersecurity disruption, in addition to costs in connection with resulting regulatory actions, litigation or reputational harm.

*Competition*

As noted in Item 1 above, the Canadian energy and petrochemical industries are highly competitive. Technology and expertise provided by industry service companies may enhance the competitiveness of firms that may not have the internal resources and capabilities of Imperial. As described in more detail above, the company's hydrocarbon-based energy products are also subject to growing and, in many cases, government-supported competition from alternative energy sources. In addition, as the company enters new markets in pursuit of lower-emission business opportunities, the company will need to compete effectively with established competitors in these markets, as well as with new market entrants seeking to capitalize on these opportunities, while successfully navigating changing market conditions or technologies.

*Reputation*

Imperial's reputation is an important corporate asset. Factors that could have an impact on the company's reputation include an operating incident or significant cybersecurity disruption; changes in consumer views concerning the company's products; changes in consumer media preferences from traditional mainstream media to decentralized and personalized media; a perception by the public that the company is not being fully transparent in the sharing of information regarding its operations that is or may be relevant to community decision-making; actions taken by the company's business partners; a perception by investors or others that insufficient progress is being made with respect to the company's ambition in the energy transition, or that pursuit of this ambition may result in allocation of capital to investments with reduced returns; divergent and evolving policy, legal and regulatory developments, societal views and investor pressures regarding the energy transition; and other adverse events such as those described in this Item 1A. Negative impacts on Imperial's reputation could, in turn, make it more difficult for the company to compete successfully for new opportunities, obtain necessary regulatory approvals, obtain financing, and attract talent, or they could reduce customer or consumer demand for the company's branded products. Imperial's reputation may also be harmed by events which negatively affect the image of the industry as a whole, including public and investor perception of Alberta oil sands in relation to greenhouse gas emissions, Indigenous rights and environmental impact.

------

*Reserves*

The company's future production and cash flows from bitumen, synthetic crude oil, liquids and natural gas reserves are highly dependent upon the company's success in exploiting its current reserves. To maintain production and cash flows over the long term, the company must replace produced reserves, which can be accomplished through exploration discovery of new resources, appraisal and investments in developing discovered resources, or acquisition of reserves. To the extent cash flows from operations are insufficient to fund capital expenditures and external sources of capital become limited or unavailable, the company's ability to make the necessary capital investments to maintain and grow oil and natural gas reserves will be adversely impacted. In addition, the company may be unable to find and develop or acquire additional reserves to replace oil and natural gas production at acceptable costs.

Estimates of economically recoverable oil and natural gas reserves and future net cash flows involve many uncertainties, including factors beyond the company's control. Key factors with uncertainty include: geological and engineering estimates, including that additional information obtained through seismic and drilling programs, reservoir analysis and production and operational history may result in revisions to reserves; the assumed effects of regulation or changes to regulation by government agencies, including royalty frameworks and environmental regulations (such as the regulation of greenhouse gas emissions, including accelerated timelines and emission reduction stringency to meet government goals, which could impose significant compliance costs on the company, require new technology, or impact the economic viability of certain projects); future commodity prices, where low commodity prices may affect reserves development; abandonment and reclamation costs, including reclamation and tailings requirements for mining operations; and operating costs. Actual production, revenues, taxes and royalties, development costs, abandonment and reclamation costs, and operating expenditures, with respect to reserves, will likely vary from such estimates, and such variances could be material.

**Item 1B.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Unresolved staff comments** 

None.

**Item 1C.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cybersecurity** 

Imperial recognizes the importance of cybersecurity in achieving its business objectives, safeguarding its assets, and managing its daily operations. Accordingly, the company integrates cybersecurity risks into its overall enterprise risk management system. The board of directors oversees the company's risk management approach and structure, which includes an annual review of the company's cybersecurity program.

The company's cybersecurity program is managed by the Canada Information Technology (IT) Manager, with support from cross-functional teams led by IT and operational technology cybersecurity operations managers in the company and in Exxon Mobil Corporation and its affiliates (collectively, Cybersecurity Operations Managers). The Cybersecurity Operations Managers are responsible for the day-to-day management and effective functioning of the cybersecurity program, including the prevention, detection, investigation, and response to cybersecurity threats and incidents. The Cybersecurity Operations Managers collectively have many years of experience in cybersecurity operations.

IT management provides updates to the company's senior management throughout the year, covering, as appropriate, the company's cybersecurity strategy, initiatives, key security metrics, penetration testing and benchmarking learnings, and business response plans, as well as the evolving cybersecurity threat landscape.

The company's cybersecurity program includes multi-layered technological capabilities designed to prevent and detect cybersecurity disruptions and leverages industry standard frameworks, including the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework. The cybersecurity program incorporates an incident response plan to engage cross-functionally and report cybersecurity incidents to appropriate levels of management based on potential impact. The company conducts annual cybersecurity awareness training and routinely tests cybersecurity awareness and business preparedness for response and recovery, which are developed based on real-world threats. In addition, IT management exchanges threat information with governmental and industry groups and proactively engages independent, third-party cybersecurity experts to test, evaluate, and recommend improvements on the effectiveness and resiliency of its cybersecurity program through penetration testing, breach assessments, regular cybersecurity incident drill testing, threat information sharing, and industry benchmarking. The company takes a risk-based approach with respect to its third-party

------

service providers, tailoring processes according to the nature and sensitivity of the data or systems accessed by such third-party service providers and performing additional risk screenings and procedures, as appropriate.

As of the date of this report, the company has not identified any risks from known cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any prior cybersecurity incidents, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the company including its business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition.

While the company believes its cybersecurity program to be appropriate for managing constantly evolving cybersecurity risks, no program can fully protect against all possible adverse events. For additional information on these risks and potential consequences if the measures the company is taking prove to be insufficient or if the company's proprietary data is otherwise not protected, see "Item 1A. Risk factors: Operational and other factors - Cybersecurity" in this report.

**Item 5. Market for registrant's common equity, related stockholder matters and issuer purchases of equity securities**

**Market information** 

The company's common shares are listed and trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange in Canada, and have unlisted trading privileges and trade on the NYSE American LLC in the United States. The symbol for the company's common shares on these exchanges is IMO.

As of February 11, 2026 there were 8,219 holders of record of common shares of the company.

**Information for security holders outside Canada** 

Cash dividends paid to shareholders resident in the United States are, under the Canada-US income tax convention, subject to a Canadian non-resident withholding tax of 15 percent.

The withholding tax is reduced to 5 percent on dividends paid to a corporation resident in the U.S. that owns at least 10 percent of the voting shares of the company. The rate of withholding applicable to other jurisdictions may vary.

The company is a qualified foreign corporation for purposes of the reduced U.S. capital gains tax rates, which are applicable to dividends paid by U.S. domestic corporations and qualified foreign corporations.

There is no Canadian tax on gains from selling shares owned by non-residents not carrying on business in Canada, as long as the shareholder does not, in any given 60-month period, own 25 percent or more of the shares of the company.

Canada has approved several positions with respect to the *Multilateral Convention to Implement Tax Treaty Related Measures to Prevent Base Erosion and Profit Shifting* ("MLI")*,* which may impact the taxability of dividends and capital gains in Canada if the shareholder's country of residence has also approved these same positions of the MLI.

The foregoing tax information is not intended to provide legal or tax advice, and shareholders are encouraged to consult a professional advisor with respect to all tax-related issues.

During the fourth quarter, the company did not issue or sell any unregistered equity securities.

**Item 13. Certain relationships and related transactions, and director independence**

Sections of the company's management proxy circular are contained in the "Proxy information section", starting on page <u>[113](#i2069983a27c948fbac54d446c7cf7036_565)</u>. The company's management proxy circular is prepared in accordance with Canadian securities regulations.

Reference is made to the section under "Corporate governance disclosure" entitled "Independence of our board members and nominees", on page <u>[124](#i2069983a27c948fbac54d446c7cf7036_604)</u> of this report.

Reference is made to the section under "Corporate governance disclosure" entitled "Transactions with Exxon Mobil Corporation", on page <u>[154](#i2069983a27c948fbac54d446c7cf7036_655)</u> of this report.

N.A. Hansen and T.T. Bryja are deemed under the relevant standards to be non-independent members of the board of directors and the committees on which they have served (in 2025, they were each members of the executive resources committee, safety and sustainability committee, nominations and corporate governance committee and finance committee; as of January 29, 2026, in connection with the board's periodic review of its governance structures and practices, the executive resources committee and the nominations and corporate governance committee consist solely of independent directors, and as a result T.T. Bryja and N.A. Hansen ceased serving on those two committees). As employees of Exxon Mobil Corporation, N.A. Hansen and T.T. Bryja are each independent of the company's management and are able to assist these committees by reflecting the perspective of the company's shareholders.

**Item 14. Principal accountant fees and services**

**Auditor information** 

The audit committee of the board of directors recommends that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC) be reappointed as the auditor of the company until the close of the next annual meeting. PwC has been the auditor of the company for more than five years and is located in Calgary, Alberta. PwC is a participating audit firm with the Canadian Public Accountability Board and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB).

**Auditor fees** 

The aggregate fees of PwC for professional services rendered for the audit of the company's financial statements and other services for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| thousands of Canadian dollars | **2025** | 2024 |
| Audit fees | **2550** | 2635 |
| Audit-related fees | **95** | 90 |
| Tax fees | **—** |  |
| All other fees | **—** |  |
| Total fees | **2645** | 2725 |

---

Audit fees included the audit of the company's annual financial statements, internal control over financial reporting, and a review of the first three quarterly financial statements in 2025. Audit-related fees consisted of other assurance services including the audit of the company's retirement plan and royalty statement audits for oil and gas producing entities. The company did not engage the auditor for any other services.

The audit committee formally and annually evaluates the performance of the external auditor, recommends the external auditor to be appointed by the shareholders, recommends their remuneration and oversees their work. The audit committee also approves the proposed current year audit program of the external auditor, assesses the results of the program after the end of the program period and approves in advance any non-audit services to be performed by the external auditor after considering the effect of such services on their independence.

All of the services rendered by the auditor to the company were approved by the audit committee.

**Auditor independence** 

The audit committee periodically discusses with PwC their independence from the company and from management. PwC have confirmed that they are independent with respect to the company within the meaning of the Rules of Professional Conduct of the Chartered Professional Accountants of Alberta, the PCAOB and the rules of the SEC. The company has concluded that the auditor's independence has been maintained.

**Frequently used terms**

Listed below are definitions of several of the company's key business and financial performance measures. The definitions are provided to facilitate understanding of the terms and how they are calculated. Certain measures included in this document are not prescribed by U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). These measures constitute "non-GAAP financial measures" under Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation G and Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K, and "specified financial measures" under National Instrument 52-112 Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Disclosure of the Canadian Securities Administrators.

Reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measure, and other information required by these regulations, have been provided. Non-GAAP financial measures and specified financial measures are not standardized financial measures under GAAP and do not have a standardized definition. As such, these measures may not be directly comparable to measures presented by other companies, and should not be considered a substitute for GAAP financial measures.

**Capital employed** 

Capital employed is a non-GAAP financial measure that is a measurement of net investment. When viewed from the perspective of how capital is used by the business, it includes the company's property, plant and equipment and other assets, less liabilities, excluding both short-term and long-term debt. When viewed from the perspective of the sources of capital employed in total for the company, it includes total debt and equity. The most directly comparable financial measure that is disclosed in the financial statements is total assets within the company's Consolidated balance sheet. Both of these views include the company's share of amounts applicable to equity companies, which the company believes should be included to provide a more comprehensive measurement of capital employed.

**Return on average capital employed (ROCE)** 

ROCE is a non-GAAP ratio. The company's total ROCE is net income excluding the after-tax cost of financing divided by total average capital employed (an average of the beginning and end-of-year amounts). Net income includes Imperial's share of net income of equity companies, consistent with the definition used for capital employed, and excludes the cost of financing. Capital employed is a non-GAAP financial measure and is disclosed and reconciled above. The company has consistently applied its ROCE definition for many years and views it as one of the best measures of historical capital productivity in a capital-intensive, long-term industry. Additional measures, which are more cash flow based, are used to make investment decisions.

**Cash flows from (used in) operating activities and asset sales** 

Cash flows from operating activities and asset sales is a non-GAAP financial measure that is the sum of the net cash provided by operating activities and proceeds from asset sales reported in the Consolidated statement of cash flows. This cash flow reflects the total sources of cash both from operating the company's assets and from the divesting of assets. The most directly comparable financial measure that is disclosed in the financial statements is cash flows from (used in) operating activities within the company's Consolidated statement of cash flows. The company employs a long-standing and regular disciplined review process to ensure that assets are contributing to the company's strategic objectives. Assets are divested when they no longer meet these objectives or are worth considerably more to others. Because of the regular nature of this activity, the company believes it is useful for investors to consider sales proceeds together with cash provided by operating activities when evaluating cash available for investment in the business and financing activities, including shareholder distributions.

**Operating costs** 

Operating costs is a non-GAAP financial measure that is the costs during the period to produce, manufacture, and otherwise prepare the company's products for sale – including energy costs, staffing and maintenance costs. It excludes the cost of raw materials, taxes and interest expense and is presented on a before-tax basis. The most directly comparable financial measure that is disclosed in the financial statements is total expenses within the company's Consolidated statement of income. While the company is responsible for all revenue and expense elements of net income, operating costs represent the expenses most directly under the company's control and therefore, are useful in evaluating the company's performance.

**Net income (loss) excluding identified items** 

Net income (loss) excluding identified items is a non-GAAP financial measure that is total net income (loss) excluding individually significant non-operational events with an absolute corporate total earnings impact of at least $100 million in a given quarter. The net income (loss) impact of an identified item for an individual segment may be less than $100 million when the item impacts several segments or several periods. The most directly comparable financial measure that is disclosed in the financial statements is "Net income (loss)" within the company's Consolidated statement of income. Management uses these figures to improve comparability of the underlying business across multiple periods by isolating and removing significant non-operational events from business results. The company believes this view provides investors increased transparency into business results and trends, and provides investors with a view of the business as seen through the eyes of management. Net income (loss) excluding identified items is not meant to be viewed in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss) as prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. All identified items are presented on an after-tax basis.

**Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations**

**Overview**

The following discussion and analysis of the company's financial results, as well as the accompanying financial statements and related notes to consolidated financial statements to which they refer, are the responsibility of the management of Imperial Oil Limited.

The company's accounting and financial reporting fairly reflect its integrated business model involving exploration for, and production of, crude oil and natural gas; manufacture, trade, transport and sale of crude oil, natural gas, petroleum products, petrochemicals and a variety of specialty products; and pursuit of lower-emission business opportunities including carbon capture and storage, hydrogen, lower-emission fuels, and lithium.

Imperial, with its resource base, financial strength, disciplined investment approach and technology portfolio, is well-positioned to participate in substantial investments to develop new Canadian energy supplies. The company's reportable segments are Upstream, Downstream, and Chemicals. The company's integrated business model generally reduces the company's risk from changes in commodity prices. While commodity prices depend on supply and demand and may be volatile on a short-term basis, the company's investment decisions are grounded on fundamentals reflected in its long-term business outlook, and use a disciplined approach in selecting and pursuing the most attractive investment opportunities. The annual company plan process establishes the economic assumptions used for evaluating investments and sets operating and capital objectives. ExxonMobil's *Global Outlook* (the Outlook), developed annually, is the foundation for the plan assumptions*.* Price ranges for crude oil, including price differentials, refinery and chemical margins, volumes, operating costs including greenhouse gas emissions pricing, and foreign currency exchange rates are part of the company plan assumptions developed annually. Company plan volume projections are based on individual field production profiles, which are also updated at least annually. Major investment opportunities are evaluated over a range of potential market conditions. All major investments are reappraised to ensure the company learns from its investment decisions, and the development and execution of the project. Lessons learned are incorporated into future projects.

The term "project" as used in this report can refer to a variety of different activities and does not necessarily have the same meaning as in any government payment transparency reports.

**Business environment** 

**Long-term business outlook** 

The "Long-term business outlook" is based on Exxon Mobil Corporation's *Global Outlook* (the Outlook), which combined with the near-term pathways, is used to help inform the company's long-term business strategies and investment plans.

The company's business planning is underpinned by a deep understanding of long-term market fundamentals. These fundamentals include supply and demand trends; the scale and variety of energy needs worldwide; capability, practicality and affordability of energy alternatives, including lower-carbon solutions; greenhouse gas emission-reduction technologies; and relevant government policies. The Outlook considers these fundamentals to form the basis for the company's long-term business planning, investment decisions, and research programs. The Outlook reflects the company's view of global energy demand and supply through 2050. It is a projection based on current trends in technology, government policies, consumer preferences, geopolitics, and economic development.

The Outlook uses projections and scenarios from reputable third parties such as the International Energy Agency (IEA) and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Included in the range of these scenarios are: the IPCC Likely Below 2°C scenarios and three scenarios from the IEA; IEA Stated Policies Scenario (STEPS; 2025 World Energy Outlook (WEO)), which reflects a sector-by-sector assessment of current policy in place and those announced by governments; IEA Announced Pledges Scenario (APS; 2024 WEO), which reflects aspirational government targets met on time and in full; and IEA Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario (NZE; 2025 WEO), which the IEA describes as highly ambitious and challenging, acknowledging that society is not currently on the IEA NZE pathway. No single transition pathway can be reasonably predicted, given the wide range of uncertainties. Key unknowns include yet-to-be-developed or changes in developed government policies, market conditions, and advances in technology that may influence the cost, pace, and potential availability of certain pathways. Scenarios that employ a full complement of technology options are likely to provide the most economically efficient pathways.

Using the company's own experts and third-party sources, the company monitors a variety of signposts that may indicate a potential shift in the energy transition. For example, the regional pace of the transition could be influenced by the cost of new technologies compared to existing or alternative energy sources.

By 2050, the world's population is projected to be around 9.7 billion people, or nearly 2 billion more than in 2024. Coincident with this population increase, the Outlook projects worldwide economic growth to average approximately 2.5 percent per year, with economic output nearly doubling by 2050 compared to 2024. As economies and populations grow, and as living standards improve for billions of people, the need for energy is expected to continue to rise. Even with significant efficiency gains, global energy demand is projected to rise by over 10 percent from 2024 to 2050. This increase in energy demand is expected to be driven by developing countries (i.e., those that are not member nations of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)). By contrast, energy use in developed nations is expected to decline by more than 10 percent as efficiency improves.

As expanding prosperity drives global energy demand higher, increasing use of energy-efficient technologies and practices, as well as lower-emission products, will continue to help significantly reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions per unit of economic output over time. Substantial efficiency gains are likely in all key aspects of the world's economy through 2050, affecting energy requirements for power generation, transportation, industrial applications, and residential and commercial needs.

Under the Outlook, global electricity demand is expected to increase more than 70 percent from 2024 to 2050, with developing countries likely to account for approximately 80 percent of the increase. Consistent with this projection, power generation is expected to remain the largest and fastest growing major segment of global primary energy demand, supported by a wide variety of energy sources. The share of coal-fired generation is expected to decline substantially to approximately 15 percent of the world's electricity in 2050, versus approximately 35 percent in 2024, in part due to policies to improve air quality as well as reduce greenhouse gas emissions to address risks related to climate change. From 2024 to 2050, the amount of electricity supplied using natural gas, nuclear power, and renewables is expected to more than double, accounting for the entire growth in electricity supplies and offsetting the reduction of coal. Electricity from wind and solar is expected to increase nearly 400 percent, helping total renewables (including other sources, e.g., hydropower) to account for approximately 90 percent of the increase in electricity supplies through 2050. Total renewables are expected to

------

reach over 50 percent of global electricity supplies by 2050. Natural gas and nuclear are expected to be about 20 percent and 10 percent, respectively, of global electricity supplies by 2050. Supplies of electricity by energy type will reflect significant differences across regions reflecting a wide range of factors, including the cost and availability of various energy supplies and policy developments.

Energy for transportation - including cars, trucks, ships, trains, and airplanes - is expected to increase by nearly 25 percent from 2024 to 2050. Transportation energy demand is expected to account for over 50 percent of the growth in liquid fuels demand worldwide over this period. Light-duty vehicle demand for liquid fuels is projected to have peaked this decade, and then decline to levels seen in the early-2010s by 2050, as the impact of better fuel economy and significant growth in electric cars, led by China, Europe, and the United States, work to offset growth in the worldwide car fleet of approximately 60 percent. By 2050, light-duty vehicles are expected to account for around 20 percent of global liquid fuels demand. During the same time period, nearly all the world's commercial transportation fleets are expected to continue to run on liquid fuels, including biofuels, which are expected to be widely available and offer practical advantages in providing a large quantity of energy in small volumes.

Almost half of the world's energy use is dedicated to industrial activity. As the global middle class continues to grow, demand for durable products, appliances, and consumable goods will increase. Industry uses energy products both as a fuel and as a feedstock for chemicals, asphalt, lubricants, waxes, and other specialty products. The Outlook anticipates technology advances, as well as the increasing shift toward cleaner forms of energy, such as electricity and natural gas, with coal declining. Demand for oil will continue to grow as a feedstock for industry.

As populations grow and prosperity rises, more energy will be needed to power homes, offices, schools, shopping centers, hospitals, etc. Combined residential and commercial energy demand is projected to rise by around 15 percent through 2050. Led by the growing economies of developing nations, average worldwide household electricity use is expected to rise more than 60 percent between 2024 and 2050.

Liquid fuels provide the largest share of global energy supplies today reflecting broad-based availability, affordability, ease of transportation, and fitness as a practical solution to meet a wide variety of needs. By 2050, global demand for liquid fuels is projected to grow to nearly 115 million oil-equivalent barrels per day, an increase of about 10 percent from 2024. The non-OECD share of global liquid fuels demand is expected to increase to about 70 percent by 2050, as liquid fuels demand in the OECD is expected to decline by more than 25 percent. Much of the global liquid fuels demand today is met by crude production from conventional sources; these supplies will remain important, and significant development activity is expected to offset much of the natural declines from these fields. At the same time, a variety of supply sources - including tight oil, deepwater, oil sands, natural gas liquids, and biofuels - are expected to grow to help meet rising demand. Timely investments will remain critical to meeting global needs with reliable and affordable supplies.

Natural gas is a lower-emission, versatile and practical fuel for a wide variety of applications. Global natural gas demand is expected to rise nearly 20 percent from 2024 to 2050, with approximately 70 percent of that increase coming from the Asia Pacific region. Significant growth in supplies of unconventional gas - the natural gas found in shale and other tight rock formations - will help meet these needs. In total, over 40 percent of the growth in natural gas supplies is expected to come from unconventional sources. At the same time, conventionally-produced natural gas is likely to remain the cornerstone of global supply, meeting around two-thirds of worldwide demand in 2050. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) trade will expand significantly, meeting about 75 percent of the increase in global demand growth, with much of this supply expected to help meet rising demand in the Asia Pacific region.

The world's energy mix is highly diverse and will remain so through 2050. Oil is expected to continue as the largest source of energy with its share remaining close to 30 percent in 2050. Coal and natural gas are the next largest sources of energy today, with the share of natural gas growing to more than 25 percent by 2050, while the share of coal falls to about half that of natural gas. Nuclear power is projected to grow, as many nations are likely to expand nuclear capacity to address rising electricity needs as well as energy security and environmental issues. Total renewable energy is expected to exceed 20 percent of global energy by 2050, with other renewables (e.g., biomass, hydropower, geothermal) contributing a combined share of more than 10 percent. Total energy supplied from wind and solar is expected to increase rapidly, growing nearly 350 percent from 2024 to 2050, when they are projected to be greater than 10 percent of the world energy mix.

Decarbonization of industrial activities will require a suite of lower-carbon technologies supported by stable policies. Lower-emission fuels, hydrogen-based fuels, and carbon capture and storage are three key lower-carbon solutions needed to support a lower-emission future, in addition to wind and solar. Along with electrification, lower-emission fuels are expected to play an important role in decarbonization of the transportation sector, particularly in hard-to-decarbonize areas, such as aviation. Low-carbon hydrogen will be a key enabler replacing traditional furnace fuel to decarbonize the industrial sector. Hydrogen and hydrogen-based fuels like ammonia are also expected to make inroads into commercial transportation as technology improves to lower its cost and policy develops to support the needed infrastructure development. Carbon capture and storage on its own, or in combination with hydrogen production, is among the few proven technologies that could enable CO2 emission reductions from high-emitting and hard-to-decarbonize sectors such as power generation and heavy industries, including manufacturing, refining, and petrochemicals.

The Outlook projects that oil demand will remain above 100 million barrels per day to 2050. And even under the average of IPCC Likely Below 2°C scenarios, oil demand still comes to 65 million barrels per day in 2050 – about two thirds of current consumption.

The Outlook shows oil production declines at a rate of about 15 percent per year. At that rate, in the absence of continued investment, by 2030 oil supplies would fall from 100 million barrels per day to less than 30 million barrels, more than 70 million barrels per day short of what is needed to meet demand. Limiting investment to only existing fields would slow the decline to about 4 percent, however, this would still be well below the oil demand in the average of IPCC Likely Below 2°C scenarios.

To meet projected demand, the company anticipates that the world's available oil and gas resource base will grow, not only from new discoveries, but also from increases in previously discovered fields. Technology will underpin these increases. The investments to develop and supply resources to meet global demand through 2050 will be significant and would be needed to meet even rapidly declining demand for oil and gas envisioned in aggressive decarbonization scenarios.

International accords and underlying regional and national regulations covering greenhouse gas emissions continue to evolve with uncertain timing and outcome, making it difficult to predict their business impact. The company's estimates of potential costs related to greenhouse gas emissions align with applicable provincial and federal regulations. Additionally, the company uses the Outlook as a foundation for estimating energy supply and demand requirements from various energy sources and uses, and the Outlook takes into account policies established to reduce energy related greenhouse gas emissions. The climate accord reached at the 2015 Conference of the Parties (COP 21) in Paris set many new goals, and many related policies are still emerging. The Outlook reflects an environment with increasingly stringent climate policies and seeks to identify potential impacts of these climate related government policies, which often target specific sectors. For purposes of the Outlook, a proxy cost on energy-related CO2 emissions is assumed, based on regional considerations and relative levels of economic development, and by 2050, reaches up to $150 USD per metric ton for OECD nations and up to $100 USD per metric ton for non-OECD nations. As people and nations look for ways to reduce risks of global climate change, they will continue to need practical solutions that do not jeopardize the affordability or reliability of the energy they need. The company continues to monitor the updates to the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) that are submitted by nations that are signatories to the Paris Agreement, as well as other policy developments in light of net-zero ambitions formulated by some nations, including Canada.

The information provided in the Outlook includes ExxonMobil's internal estimates and projections based upon internal data and analyses, as well as publicly available information from external sources including the International Energy Agency.

**Progress reducing emissions**

Practical solutions to the world's energy and climate challenges will benefit from market competition in addition to well-informed, well-designed and transparent policy approaches that carefully weigh costs and benefits. Such policies are likely to help manage the risks of climate change while also enabling societies to pursue other high priority goals around the world – including clean air and water, access to reliable and affordable energy, and economic progress for all people. The company encourages sound policy solutions that reduce climate-related risks across the economy at the lowest societal cost. All practical and economically viable energy sources will need to be pursued to continue meeting global energy demand, recognizing the scale and variety of worldwide energy needs, as well as the importance of expanding access to modern energy to promote better standards of living for billions of people.

------

As part of the company's efforts to provide solutions that lower the greenhouse gas emissions intensity of its operations and provide lower life-cycle emissions products to customers, the company will continue to evaluate and deploy technologies such as oil sands technologies that use less steam, carbon capture and storage, energy efficiency projects, and low-emissions fuels. Decisions to deploy these technologies will be informed by market conditions and government policies.

**Recent business environment**

During 2025, the price of crude oil decreased relative to 2024, as increased OPEC+ output, record U.S. production, and global economic growth deceleration created a significant supply-demand imbalance, while brief geopolitical price spikes faded quickly and failed to counter the broader downward pressure. In addition, the Canadian WTI/WCS spread narrowed as expanded TMX export capacity improved market access, while steady U.S. refinery demand and reduced western Canadian inventories in the second quarter, driven by turnarounds and wildfire-related supply impacts, further tightened the differential. Industry refining margins improved in 2025, influenced by geopolitical factors and supply disruptions. The company closely monitors market trends and works to mitigate both operating and capital cost impacts in all price environments.

During 2025, the United States announced a variety of trade-related actions, including the imposition of tariffs on imports from Canada and several other countries. In response, Canada announced its own retaliatory tariffs. Despite the current uncertainty as to what effects these actions will ultimately have on Imperial, its suppliers and its customers, the company does not anticipate any material near-term financial impacts.

**Upstream** 

**Overview**

The company produces crude oil and natural gas for sale predominantly into North American markets. The company's Upstream business strategies guide the company's exploration, development, production, research and gas marketing activities. These strategies include improving asset reliability, accelerating development and application of high impact technologies, maximizing value by capturing new business opportunities and managing the existing portfolio, as well as pursuing sustainable improvements in organizational efficiency and effectiveness. These strategies are underpinned by a relentless focus on operations integrity, commitment to innovative technologies, disciplined approach to investing and cost management, development of employees and investment in the communities within which the company operates.

The company has a significant oil and gas resource base and a large inventory of potential projects. The company's current investment strategy is to invest for value and select volume growth, with focus on optimization within existing assets, cost reduction opportunities and productivity enhancements that aim to deliver robust returns at a wide range of prices. The company also continues to evaluate opportunities to support long-term growth. Although actual volumes typically vary from year to year, the focus is on value-add, long-term growth opportunities within the context of the factors described in "Item 1A. Risk factors". The company continually evaluates opportunities, including the pace of development for the Aspen project.

Prices for most of the company's crude oil sold are referenced to Western Canada Select (WCS) and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) oil markets. Additionally, the market price for WCS is typically lower than light and medium grades of oil, and price differentials between WCS and WTI can fluctuate.

The company believes prices over the long term will be driven by market supply and demand, with the demand side largely being a function of general economic activity, alternative energy sources, levels of prosperity, technology advancements, consumer preference and government policies. On the supply side, prices may be significantly impacted by political events, logistics constraints, the actions of OPEC or OPEC+, governments, alternative energy sources, and other factors. To manage the risks associated with price, the company tests the resiliency of its annual plans and all major investments across a range of price scenarios.

**Key events** 

Upstream assets demonstrated strong operational performance in 2025. The company continued to benefit from its actions implemented in prior years to manage the cost structure and improve the reliability of its assets, enabling the Upstream to capture significant value.

Upstream full-year production averaged 438,000 gross oil-equivalent barrels per day.

At Kearl, gross production was about 280,000 barrels per day (199,000 barrels Imperial's share), which is a decrease of about 1,000 barrels per day (1,000 barrels Imperial's share) compared to 2024.

At Cold Lake, annual production averaged 151,000 barrels per day, which is an increase of about 3,000 barrels per day compared to 2024.

At Syncrude, annual production averaged 79,000 barrels per day, which is an increase of about 4,000 barrels per day compared to 2024.

As described in more detail in "Item 1A. Risk factors", environmental risks and climate related regulations could have negative impacts on the upstream business.

**Downstream** 

**Overview**

The company's Downstream serves predominantly Canadian markets with refining, trading, logistics and marketing activities. The company's Downstream business strategies competitively position the company across a range of market conditions. These strategies include targeting industry-leading performance in reliability, safety and operations integrity, as well as maximizing value from advanced technologies, capitalizing on integration across the company's businesses, selectively investing for resilient and advantaged returns, operating efficiently and effectively, and providing quality, valued and differentiated products and services to customers.

The company owns and operates three refineries in Canada with aggregate distillation capacity of 434,000 barrels per day. Refining margins are largely driven by differences in commodity prices and are a function of the difference between what a refinery pays for its raw materials (primarily crude oil) and the market prices for the range of products produced (primarily gasoline, heating oil, diesel oil, jet fuel, fuel oil and asphalt). Crude oil and many products are widely traded with published prices, including those quoted on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Prices for these commodities are determined by the global and regional marketplaces and are influenced by many factors, including global and regional supply/demand balances, inventory levels, industry refinery operations, import/export balances, currency fluctuations, seasonal demand, weather and geopolitical considerations. While industry refining margins significantly impact earnings, strong operational performance, product mix optimization, and disciplined cost control are also critical to the company's strong financial performance. The company's integration across the value chain, from refining to marketing, enhances overall value across the fuels business.

**Key events**

Refining margins strengthened in 2025 driven by strong distillate demand and relatively low inventory levels due to global supply disruptions. The company continues to closely monitor industry and global economic conditions.

In January 2023, the company fully funded the Strathcona renewable diesel project, the largest such facility in Canada, located at Strathcona refinery. The facility uses hydrogen, locally sourced and grown feedstocks and the company's proprietary catalyst to produce renewable diesel. Facility construction commenced in 2023 and was completed and commissioned with first on-spec renewable diesel produced in July 2025 bringing lower-emission fuels to market.

As described in more detail in "Item 1A. Risk factors", proposed carbon policy and other climate related regulations, as well as continued biofuels mandates, could have negative impacts on the Downstream business.

The company supplies petroleum products through Esso and Mobil-branded sites and independent marketers. At the end of 2025, there were about 2,600 sites operating under a branded wholesaler model, in alignment with Esso and Mobil brand standards, whereby the company supplies fuel to independent third parties.

**Chemical** 

**Overview**

North America continued to benefit from abundant supplies of natural gas and gas liquids, providing both low cost energy and feedstock for steam crackers.

**Key events**

In 2025, the Chemicals business had strong operating performance, building on the improvements achieved following the completion of maintenance activities in prior years.

The company maintains a competitive advantage through continued operational excellence, consistent product quality, investment and cost discipline, and integration of its chemical plant in Sarnia with the refinery. The company also benefits from its relationship with ExxonMobil's North American chemical businesses, enabling Imperial to maintain a leadership position in its key market segments.

**Liquidity and capital resources**

**Sources and uses of cash**

The company issues long-term debt from time to time and maintains a commercial paper program. However, internally generated funds cover the majority of its financial requirements. Cash that may be temporarily surplus to the company's immediate needs is carefully managed through counterparty quality and investment guidelines to ensure that it is secure and readily available to meet the company's cash requirements and to optimize returns.

Cash flows from operating activities are highly dependent on crude oil and natural gas prices, as well as petroleum and chemical product margins. In addition, to provide for cash flow in future periods, the company needs to continually find and develop new resources, and continue to develop and apply new technologies to existing fields in order to maintain or increase production.

The company's financial strength enables it to make large, long-term capital expenditures. The company's portfolio of development opportunities and the complementary nature of its business segments help mitigate the overall risks for the company and its cash flows. Further, due to its financial strength, debt capacity and portfolio of opportunities, the risk associated with delay of any single project would not have a significant impact on the company's liquidity or ability to generate sufficient cash flows for its operations and fixed commitments.

Funding of registered retirement plans complies with federal and provincial pension regulations, and the company makes contributions to the plans based on an independent actuarial valuation completed at least once every three years depending on funding status. The most recent valuation of the company's registered retirement plans was completed as at December 31, 2022. A valuation of the company's registered retirement plans as at December 31, 2025 is expected to be completed in 2026. The company contributed $148 million to the registered retirement plans in 2025. Future funding requirements are not expected to affect the company's existing capital investment plans or its ability to pursue new investment opportunities.

Debt-related interest incurred in 2025, before capitalization of interest, was $131 million, compared with $192 million in 2024. The weighted-average interest rate on the company's debt was 3.1 percent in 2025, compared with 4.7 percent in 2024.

The company's financial strength represents a competitive advantage of strategic importance providing it the opportunity to readily access capital markets across a range of market conditions and enables the company to take on large, long-term capital commitments in the pursuit of maximizing shareholder value.

**Contractual obligations** 

The company has contractual obligations involving commitments to third parties that impact its liquidity and capital resource needs. These contractual obligations are primarily for leases, debt, asset retirement obligations, pension and other postretirement benefits, other long-term obligations, and firm capital commitments. Further information on this topic can be found in notes 4, 5, 11, 13, 14 to the consolidated financial statements.

Other long-term purchase agreements are commitments that are non-cancellable, or cancellable only under certain conditions, as well as long-term commitments, other than unconditional purchase obligations. They include primarily raw material supply, transportation services agreements, and community benefits agreements. The total obligation at year-end 2025 was $14.5 billion, of which $1.5 billion is due in 2026, and $1.5 billion is due in 2027.

**Litigation and other contingencies** 

As discussed in note 9 to the consolidated financial statements, a variety of claims have been made against Imperial and its subsidiaries. Based on a consideration of all relevant facts and circumstances, the company does not believe the ultimate outcome of any currently pending lawsuits against the company will have a material adverse effect on the company's operations, financial condition, or financial statements taken as a whole.

Additionally, as discussed in note 9, Imperial was contingently liable at December 31, 2025, for guarantees relating to performance under contracts. These guarantees do not have a material effect on the company's operations, financial condition, or financial statements taken as a whole.

There are no events or uncertainties beyond those already included in reported financial information that would indicate a material change in future operating results or financial condition.

**Capital and exploration expenditures**

Capital and exploration expenditures represent the combined total of additions at cost to property, plant and equipment, additions to finance leases, additional investments and acquisitions; exploration expenses on a before-tax basis from the Consolidated statement of income; and the company's share of similar costs for equity companies. Capital and exploration expenditures exclude the purchase of carbon emission credits. While the company's management is responsible for all investments and elements of net income, particular focus is placed on managing the controllable aspects of this group of expenditures.

For the Upstream segment, capital and exploration expenditures were primarily related to sustaining activity in support of the company's oil sands and in-situ assets.

For the Downstream segment, capital expenditures were primarily for completing the Strathcona renewable diesel facility as well as other refinery and distribution projects to improve environmental performance, reliability, and energy efficiency.

Total capital and exploration expenditures are expected to range between $2.0 billion to $2.2 billion in 2026.

Expected capital and exploration expenditures for 2026 includes firm capital commitments of $585 million for the construction and purchase of fixed assets and other permanent investments. An additional $89 million of firm capital commitments have been made for years 2027 and beyond.

Actual spending could vary depending on the progress of individual projects.

------

**Market risks**

Crude oil, natural gas, petroleum product and chemical prices have fluctuated in response to changing market forces. The impacts of these price fluctuations on earnings from Upstream, Downstream and Chemical operations have varied.

The company's earnings are influenced by North American crude oil benchmark prices as well as changes in the differentials between these benchmarks and western Canadian prices for light and heavy crude oil. The company's integrated business model reduces its risk from changes in commodity prices. For instance, when differentials between North American crude benchmarks and western Canadian prices widen, the company is able to mitigate the impact of widening differentials on the Upstream through integration with Downstream investments in refineries and pipeline commitments.

In the competitive downstream and chemical environments, earnings are primarily determined by margin capture rather than absolute price levels on products sold. Refining margins are a function of the difference between what a refiner pays for its raw materials (primarily crude oil) and the market prices for the range of products produced. These prices, in turn, depend on global and regional supply/demand balances, inventory levels, refinery operations, import/export balances and weather.

Industry crude oil commodity prices and petroleum and chemical product prices are commonly benchmarked in U.S. dollars. The majority of the company's sales and purchases are related to these industry U.S. dollar benchmarks. As the company records and reports its financial results in Canadian dollars, to the extent that the Canadian/U.S. dollar exchange rate fluctuates, the company's earnings will be affected.

The company is exposed to changes in interest rates, primarily on its debt which carries floating interest rates. The impact of a quarter percent change in interest rates affecting the company's debt would not be material to earnings or cash flow. The company has access to significant sources of long-term and short-term liquidity. Internally generated funds are expected to cover the majority of financial requirements, supplemented by long-term and short-term debt as needed.

The company's potential exposure to commodity price and margin, and Canadian/U.S. dollar exchange rate fluctuations, is summarized in the earnings sensitivities table, which shows the estimated annual effect, under current conditions, on the company's after-tax net income. For any given period, the extent of actual benefit or detriment will be dependent on the price movements of individual types of crude oil and products, production and sales volumes, transportation capacity, costs and egress methods, and other factors. Accordingly, changes in benchmark prices for crude oil and crude oil differentials, and other factors listed in the table following, only provide broad indicators of changes in the earnings experienced in any particular period.

The demand for crude oil, petroleum products and petrochemical products are generally linked closely with economic growth. The occurrence of recessions or other periods of low or negative economic growth will typically have a direct adverse impact on the company's financial results. Although price levels of crude oil may rise and fall significantly over the short to medium-term due to global economic conditions, political events, decisions by OPEC or OPEC+, governments and other factors, industry economics over the long-term will continue to be driven by market supply and demand. The company evaluates investments over a range of prices, including estimated greenhouse gas emission costs.

The global energy markets can give rise to extended periods in which market conditions are adverse to one or more of the company's businesses. Such conditions, along with the capital-intensive nature of the industry and

------

very long lead times associated with many of the company's projects, underscore the importance of maintaining a strong financial position. Management views the company's financial strength as a competitive advantage.

In general, segment results are not dependent on the ability to sell and/or purchase products to/from other segments. Where such intersegment sales take place, they are the result of efficiencies and competitive advantages from integrated business segments and refinery and chemical complexes. The company's intersegment sales include crude oil produced by the Upstream and sold to the Downstream, as well as sales between refineries and the chemical plant related to raw materials, feedstocks and finished products. All intersegment sales are at market based prices. Refer to note 2 for additional information on intersegment revenue.

The company has an active asset management program in which nonstrategic assets are considered for divestment. The asset management program includes a disciplined, regular review to ensure that assets are contributing to the company's strategic objectives.

**Risk management** 

The company's size, strong capital structure and the complementary nature of its business segments reduces the company's enterprise-wide risk from changes in commodity prices and currency exchange rates. In addition, the company may use commodity-based contracts, including derivatives, to manage commodity price risk and to generate returns from trading. The company's derivatives are not accounted for under hedge accounting. Credit risk associated with the company's derivative position is mitigated by several factors, including the use of derivative clearing exchanges and the quality of and financial limits placed on derivative counterparties. No material market or credit risks to the company's financial position, results of operations or liquidity exist as a result of the derivatives described in note 6. The company maintains a system of controls that includes the authorization, reporting and monitoring of derivative activity.

------

**Critical accounting estimates**

The company's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP). U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The company's accounting and financial reporting fairly reflect its integrated business model involving exploration for, and production of, crude oil and natural gas; manufacture, trade, transport and sale of crude oil, natural gas, petroleum products, petrochemicals and a variety of specialty products; and pursuit of lower-emission business opportunities including carbon capture and storage, hydrogen, lower-emission fuels, and lithium. The company does not use financing structures for the purpose of altering accounting outcomes or removing debt from the balance sheet. The company's significant accounting policies are summarized in note 1 to the consolidated financial statements.

**Oil and natural gas reserves** 

Evaluations of oil and natural gas reserves are important to the effective management of upstream assets. They are an integral part of investment decisions about oil and gas properties such as whether development should proceed.

The estimation of proved reserve volumes, which is based on the requirement of reasonable certainty, is an ongoing process based on rigorous technical evaluations, commercial and market assessments, detailed analysis of reservoir and well performance, development and production costs, and other factors. The estimation of proved reserves is controlled by the company through long-standing approval guidelines. Reserves changes are made within a well-established, disciplined process driven by qualified geoscience and engineering professionals, assisted by the reserves management group which has significant technical experience, culminating in reviews with and approval by senior management and the company's board of directors. Notably, the company does not use specific quantitative reserves targets to determine compensation. Key features of the reserves estimation process are covered in "Disclosure of reserves" in Item 1.

Oil and natural gas reserves include both proved and unproved reserves.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Proved oil and natural gas reserves are determined in accordance with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requirements. Proved reserves are those quantities of oil and natural gas which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible under existing economic and operating conditions and government regulations. Proved reserves are determined using the average of first-day-of-the-month oil and natural gas prices during the reporting year.

Proved reserves can be further subdivided into developed and undeveloped reserves. Proved developed reserves include amounts which are expected to be recovered through existing wells, facilities, or mining activities with existing equipment and operating methods. Proved undeveloped reserves include amounts expected to be recovered from new wells, existing wells, facilities, or mining activities, where a relatively major capital expenditure is required. Proved undeveloped reserves are recognized when a development plan has been adopted indicating that the reserves are scheduled to be developed within five years, unless specific circumstances support a longer period of time.

The company is reasonably certain that proved reserves will be produced. However, the timing and amount recovered can be affected by a number of factors, including completion and optimization of development projects, reservoir performance, and facility processing capacity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Unproved reserves are quantities of oil and natural gas with less than reasonable certainty of recoverability and include probable reserves. Probable reserves are reserves that, together with proved reserves, are as likely as not to be recovered.

Revisions in previously estimated volumes of proved reserves for existing fields can occur due to the evaluation or re-evaluation of already available geologic, reservoir or production data; new geologic, reservoir or production data; or changes in the average of first-day-of-the-month oil and natural gas prices and/or costs that are used in the estimation of reserves. Revisions can also result from significant changes in either development strategy or production equipment and facility capacity.

------

In 2023, upward revisions of proved bitumen of 0.1 billion barrels were driven by lower royalty obligations associated with lower pricing and minor technical revisions at Cold Lake and Kearl. A slight increase in proved reserves for synthetic crude oil is associated with lower royalty obligations associated with pricing. Conventional proved liquids reserves decreased to zero under existing pricing and operating conditions.

In 2024, upward revisions of proved bitumen of 0.1 billion barrels were primarily driven by updates to the Kearl geological model, Kearl well density, and Cold Lake infill drilling, partially offset by reductions associated with higher royalty obligations and Kearl pit limit updates. A decrease to synthetic oil proved reserves is associated with regulatory approval for ore sterilization at Syncrude.

In 2025, upward revisions of proved bitumen were primarily driven by steam scheduling, development drilling, Liquid Addition to Steam for Enhanced Recovery (LASER) process at Cold Lake and lower royalty obligations associated with pricing for both Kearl and Cold Lake. An increase in proved reserves for synthetic crude oil is associated with lower royalty obligation.

Under the terms of certain contractual arrangements or government royalty regimes, lower prices can also increase proved reserves attributable to the company. The company's operating decisions and its outlook for future production volumes are not impacted by proved reserves as disclosed under the SEC definition.

***Unit-of-production depreciation***

Oil and natural gas reserve volumes are used as the basis to calculate unit-of-production depreciation rates for most upstream assets. Depreciation is calculated by taking the ratio of asset cost to total proved reserves or proved developed reserves applied to actual production. The volumes produced and asset cost are known, while proved reserves are based on estimates that are subject to some variability.

In the event that the unit-of-production method does not result in an equitable allocation of cost over the economic life of an upstream asset, an alternative method is used. The straight-line method is used in limited situations where the expected life of the asset does not reasonably correlate with that of the underlying reserves. For example, certain assets used in the production of oil and natural gas have a shorter life than the reserves, and as such, the company uses straight-line depreciation to ensure the asset is fully depreciated by the end of its useful life.

To the extent that proved reserves for a property are substantially de-booked and that property continues to produce such that the resulting depreciation charge does not result in an equitable allocation of cost over the expected life, assets will be depreciated using a unit-of-production method based on reserves determined at the most recent SEC price which results in a more meaningful quantity of proved reserves, appropriately adjusted for production and technical changes.

***Impact of oil and gas reserves and prices and margins on testing for impairment***

The company tests assets or groups of assets for recoverability on an ongoing basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The company has a robust process to monitor for indicators of potential impairment across its asset groups throughout the year. This process is aligned with the requirements of *ASC 360* and *ASC 932* and relies, in part, on the company's planning and budgeting cycle.

Because the lifespans of the vast majority of the company's major assets are measured in decades, the future cash flows of these assets are predominantly based on long-term oil and natural gas commodity prices and industry margins, development and production costs. Significant reductions in the company's view of oil or natural gas commodity prices or margin ranges, especially the longer-term prices and margins, and changes in the development plans, including decisions to defer, reduce or eliminate planned capital spending, can be an indicator of potential impairment. Other events or changes in circumstances, including indicators outlined in *ASC 360,* can be indicators of potential impairment as well.

In general, the company does not view temporarily low prices or margins as an indication of impairment. Management believes that prices over the long term must be sufficient to generate investments in energy supply to meet global demand. Although prices will occasionally drop significantly, industry prices over the long term will continue to be driven by market supply and demand fundamentals. On the supply side, industry production from mature fields is declining. This is being offset by investments to generate production from new discoveries, field developments, and technology and efficiency advancements. OPEC+ investment activities and production policies also have an impact on world oil supplies. The demand side is largely a function of general economic activities, alternative energy sources and levels of prosperity. During the lifespan of its major

------

assets, the company expects that oil and gas prices and industry margins will experience significant volatility. Consequently, these assets will experience periods of higher earnings and periods of lower earnings, or even losses. In assessing whether events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable, the company considers recent periods of operating losses in the context of its longer-term view of prices and margins.

*Global Outlook and cash flow assessment* 

The annual planning and budgeting process, known as the company plan, is the mechanism by which resources (capital, operating expenses and people) are allocated across the company. The foundation for the energy supply and demand assumptions supporting the company plan begins with Exxon Mobil Corporation's *Global Outlook* (the Outlook), which contains demand and supply projections based on its assessment of current trends in technology, government policies, consumer preferences, geopolitics, economic development, and other factors.

Reflective of the existing global policy environment, the Outlook does not attempt to project the degree of necessary future policy and technology advancement and deployment for the world to meet net zero by 2050. As future policies and technology advancements emerge, they will be incorporated into the Outlook, and consequently, the company's business plans will be updated accordingly.

If events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable, the company estimates the future undiscounted cash flows of the affected properties to judge the recoverability of carrying amounts. In performing this assessment, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets. Cash flows used in recoverability assessments are based on the assumptions developed in the company plan, which is reviewed and approved by the board of directors, and are consistent with the criteria management uses to evaluate investment opportunities. These evaluations make use of the company's assumptions of future capital allocations, crude oil and natural gas commodity prices including price differentials, refining and chemical margins, volumes, development and operating costs, including greenhouse gas emissions prices, and foreign currency exchange rates. Volumes are based on projected field and facility production profiles, throughput, or sales. Management's estimate of upstream production volumes used for projected cash flows makes use of proved reserve quantities and may include risk-adjusted unproved reserve quantities. The greenhouse gas emission prices reflect existing or anticipated policy actions of applicable provincial and federal governments. While third-party scenarios may be used to test the resiliency of company's businesses or strategies, they are not used as a basis for developing future cash flows for impairment assessments.

*Fair value of impaired assets* 

An asset group is impaired if its estimated future undiscounted cash flows are less than the asset group's carrying value. Impairments are measured by the excess of the carrying value over fair value. The assessment of fair value is based on the views of a likely market participant. The principal parameters used to establish fair value include estimates of acreage values and flowing production metrics from comparable market transactions, market-based estimates of historical cash flow multiples, and discounted cash flows. Inputs and assumptions used in discounted cash flow models include estimates of future production volumes, throughput and product sales volumes, commodity prices (which are consistent with the average of third-party industry experts and government agencies), refining and chemical margins, drilling and development costs, operating costs, and discount rates which are reflective of the characteristics of the asset group.

*Other impairment estimates* 

Unproved properties are assessed periodically to determine whether they have been impaired. Significant unproved properties are assessed for impairment individually, and valuation allowances against the capitalized costs are recorded based on the company's future development plans, the estimated economic chance of success and the length of time that the company expects to hold the properties. Properties that are not individually significant are aggregated by groups and amortized based on development risk and average holding period.

Long-lived assets that are held for sale are evaluated for possible impairment by comparing the carrying value of the asset with its fair value less the cost to sell. If the net book value exceeds the fair value less cost to sell, the assets are considered impaired and adjusted to the lower value. Judgment is required to determine if assets are held for sale, and to determine the fair value less cost to sell.

------

Investments accounted for by the equity method are assessed for possible impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an investment may not be recoverable. Examples of key indicators include a history of operating losses, negative earnings and cash flow outlook, significant downward revisions to oil and gas reserves, and the financial condition and prospects for the investee's business segment or geographic region. If the decline in value of the investment is other than temporary, the carrying value of the investment is written down to fair value. In the absence of market prices for the investment, discounted cash flows are used to assess fair value, which requires significant judgment.

*Recent impairments*

In 2025, the company signed an agreement to sell the Calgary Imperial Campus which resulted in a non-cash impairment charge of $306 million after-tax in the Corporate and other segment.

Factors which could put further assets at risk of impairment in the future include reductions in the company's price or margin outlooks, changes in the allocation of capital or development plans, reduced long-term demand for the company's products and operating cost increases which exceed the pace of efficiencies or the pace of oil and natural gas price increases or margins. However, due to the inherent difficulty in predicting future commodity prices or margins, and the relationship between industry prices and costs, it is not practicable to reasonably estimate the existence or range of any potential future impairment charges related to the company's long-lived assets.

Supplemental information regarding oil and gas results of operations, capitalized costs and reserves is provided following the notes to consolidated financial statements.

**Pension benefits** 

The company's pension plan is managed in compliance with the requirements of governmental authorities and meets funding levels as determined by independent third-party actuaries. Pension accounting requires explicit assumptions regarding, among others, the discount rate for the benefit obligations, the expected rate of return on plan assets and the long-term rate of future compensation increases. All pension assumptions are reviewed annually by senior management. These assumptions are adjusted only as appropriate to reflect long-term changes in market rates and outlook. The long-term expected rate of return on plan assets of 4.4 percent used in 2025 compares to actual returns of 4.5 percent and 5.6 percent achieved over the last 10- and 20-year periods respectively, ending December 31, 2025. If different assumptions are used, the obligation and expense could increase or decrease as a result. As an indication of the company's potential exposure to changes in the critical assumptions, such as the expected rate of return on plan assets, a reduction of 1 percent in the long-term rate of return on plan assets would increase the annual pension expense by approximately $85 million before tax. At the company, differences between actual returns on plan assets and the long-term expected returns are not recorded in pension expense in the year the differences occur. Such differences are deferred, along with other actuarial gains and losses, and are amortized into pension expense over the expected average remaining service life of employees. Employee benefits expense represented about 1 percent of total expenses in 2025.

**Asset retirement obligations** 

The company is subject to retirement obligations for certain assets. The fair values of these obligations are recorded as liabilities on a discounted basis, which is typically at the time the assets are installed. In the estimation of fair value, the company uses assumptions and judgments regarding such factors as the existence of a legal obligation for an asset retirement obligation, technical assessments of the assets, estimated amounts and timing of settlements, discount rates, and inflation rates. Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements provides a three-year continuity table detailing the changes in asset retirement obligations.

**Tax contingencies** 

The operations of the company are complex, and related tax interpretations, regulations and legislation are continually changing.

The benefits of uncertain tax positions that the company has taken or expects to take in its income tax returns are recognized in the financial statements if management concludes that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained with the tax authorities. For a position that is likely to be sustained, the benefit recognized in the financial statements is measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized. Significant management judgment is required in the accounting for income tax contingencies and tax disputes because the outcomes are often difficult to predict. The company's unrecognized tax benefits and a description of open tax years are summarized in note 3 to the consolidated financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Imperial Oil Limited

**Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting** 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Imperial Oil Limited and its subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of income, of comprehensive income, of shareholders' equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in *Internal Control ‒ Integrated Framework* (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in *Internal Control ‒ Integrated Framework* (2013) issued by the COSO.

**Basis for Opinions** 

The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company's consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

**Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting** 

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

------

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

**Critical Audit Matters** 

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

*The Impact of Proved Developed Oil and Natural Gas Reserve Volumes on Upstream Property, Plant and Equipment, Net*

As described in Notes 1 and 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company's consolidated upstream property, plant and equipment (PP&E), net balance was $26,037 million as of December 31, 2025, and the related depreciation and depletion expense for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $1,906 million. Management uses the successful efforts method to account for its exploration and production activities. Costs incurred to purchase, lease or otherwise acquire a property (whether unproved or proved) are capitalized when incurred. As disclosed by management, proved oil and natural gas reserve volumes are used as the basis to calculate unit-of-production depreciation rates for most upstream assets. The estimation of proved oil and natural gas reserve volumes is an ongoing process based on technical evaluations, commercial and market assessments, detailed analysis of reservoir and well performance, development and production costs, and other factors. As further disclosed by management, reserves changes are made within a well-established, disciplined process driven by qualified geoscience and engineering professionals, assisted by the reserves management group (together, management's specialists).

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the impact of proved developed oil and natural gas reserve volumes on upstream PP&E, net is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management, including the use of management's specialists, when developing the estimates of proved developed oil and natural gas reserve volumes, and (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence related to the data, methods, and assumptions used by management and its specialists in developing the estimates of proved developed oil and natural gas reserve volumes.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management's estimates of proved developed oil and natural gas reserve volumes. The work of management's specialists was used in performing the procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of the proved developed oil and natural gas reserve volumes. As a basis for using this work, management's specialists' qualifications were understood and the Company's relationship with management's specialists was assessed. The procedures performed, also included i) evaluating the methods and assumptions used by management's specialists, ii) testing the completeness and accuracy of the data used by management's specialists related to historical production volumes, and iii) evaluating management's specialists' findings related to future production volumes by comparing the future production volumes to relevant historical and current period production volumes, as applicable.

**Notes to consolidated financial statements**

The accompanying consolidated financial statements and the supporting and supplemental material are the responsibility of the management of Imperial Oil Limited.

The company's principal business involves exploration for, and production of, crude oil and natural gas; manufacture, trade, transport and sale of crude oil, natural gas, petroleum products, petrochemicals and a variety of specialty products; and pursuit of lower-emission business opportunities including carbon capture and storage, hydrogen, lower-emission fuels, and lithium.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP), which requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates. All amounts are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated.

**Note 1. Summary of significant accounting policies**

**Principles of consolidation** 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of subsidiaries the company controls. Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated. Subsidiaries include those companies in which Imperial has both an equity interest and the continuing ability to unilaterally determine strategic, operating, investing and financing policies. Imperial Oil Resources Limited and Canada Imperial Oil Limited are significant subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statements and are wholly owned by Imperial Oil Limited. The consolidated financial statements also include the company's share of the undivided interest in certain upstream assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, including its 70.96 percent interest in the Kearl joint venture and its 25 percent interest in the Syncrude joint venture.

**Revenues** 

The company generally sells crude oil, natural gas and petroleum and chemical products under short-term agreements at prevailing market prices. In some cases, products may be sold under long-term agreements, with periodic price adjustments to reflect market conditions.

Revenue is recognized at the amount the company expects to receive when the customer has taken control, which is typically when title transfers and the customer has assumed the risks and rewards of ownership. The prices of certain sales are based on price indices that are sometimes not available until the next period. In such cases, estimated realizations are accrued when the sale is recognized, and are finalized when final information is available. Such adjustments to revenue from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods are not significant. Payment for revenue transactions is typically due within 30 days.

Revenues include amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling. Shipping and handling costs incurred up to the point of final storage prior to delivery to a customer are included in "Purchases of crude oil and products" in the Consolidated statement of income. Delivery costs from final storage to customer are recorded as a marketing expense in "Selling and general" expenses. The company does not enter into ongoing arrangements whereby it is required to repurchase its products, nor does the company provide the customer with a right of return.

Future volume delivery obligations that are unsatisfied at the end of the period are expected to be fulfilled through ordinary production or purchases. These performance obligations are based on market prices at the time of the transaction and are fully constrained due to market price volatility.

Purchases and sales of inventory with the same counterparty that are entered into in contemplation of one another are combined and recorded as exchanges measured at the book value of the item sold.

"Revenues" and "Accounts receivable - net" include revenue and receivables both within the scope of *ASC 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers*, and those outside the scope of *ASC 606*. Long-term receivables are primarily from receivables outside the scope of *ASC 606*. Contract assets are mainly from marketing assistance programs and are not significant. Contract liabilities are mainly customer prepayments and accruals of expected volume discounts, and are not significant.

**Consumer and other taxes** 

Taxes levied on the consumer and collected by the company are excluded from the Consolidated statement of income. These are primarily provincial taxes on motor fuels, the federal goods and services tax and the federal/provincial harmonized sales tax. Similar taxes, for which the company is not considered to be an agent for the government, are reported on a gross basis (included in both "Revenues" and "Federal excise tax and fuel charge").

**Derivative instruments** 

The company may use derivative instruments for trading purposes and to offset exposures associated with commodity prices, currency exchange rates and interest rates that arise from existing assets, liabilities, firm commitments and forecasted transactions. All derivative instruments, except those designated as normal purchase and normal sale, are recorded at fair value. Derivative assets and liabilities with the same counterparty are netted if the right of offset exists and certain other criteria are met. Collateral payables or receivables are netted against derivative assets and derivative liabilities, respectively.

Recognition and classification of the gain or loss that results from adjusting a derivative to fair value depends on the purpose for the derivative. The gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded under "Revenues" in the Consolidated statement of income.

**Fair value** 

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Hierarchy levels 1, 2 and 3 are terms for the priority of inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Hierarchy level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Hierarchy level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability. Hierarchy level 3 inputs are inputs that are not observable in the market.

**Inventories** 

Inventories are recorded at the lower of current market value or cost. The cost of crude oil and products is determined primarily using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. LIFO was selected over the alternative first-in, first-out and average cost methods because it provides a better matching of current costs with the revenues generated in the period.

Inventory costs include expenditures and other charges (including depreciation), directly and indirectly incurred in bringing the inventory to its existing condition and location. Selling and general expenses are reported as period costs and excluded from inventory costs. Inventories of materials and supplies are valued at cost or less.

**Investments** 

The company's interests in the underlying net assets of affiliates it does not control, but over which it exercises significant influence, are accounted for using the equity method. They are recorded at the original cost of the investment plus the company's share of earnings since the investment was made, less dividends received. The company's share of the after-tax earnings of these investments is included in "Investment and other income" in the Consolidated statement of income. Investments in equity securities, other than consolidated subsidiaries and equity method investments, are measured at fair value, with changes in the fair value recognized in net income. The company uses a modified approach for equity securities that do not have a readily determinable fair value. This modified approach measures investments at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions in similar investments of the same issuer. Dividends from these investments are included in "Investment and other income".

These investments represent interests in non-publicly traded pipeline companies that facilitate the sale and purchase of liquids in the conduct of company operations. Other parties who also have an equity interest in these investments share in the risks and rewards according to their percentage of ownership. The company does not invest in these investments in order to remove liabilities from its balance sheet.

**Property, plant and equipment** 

*Cost basis* 

The company uses the "successful efforts" method to account for its exploration and production activities. Under this method, costs are accumulated on a field-by-field basis. Costs incurred to purchase, lease, or otherwise acquire a property (whether unproved or proved) are capitalized when incurred. Exploratory well costs are carried as an asset when the well has found a sufficient quantity of reserves to justify its completion as a producing well and where the company is making sufficient progress assessing the reserves and the economic and operating viability of the project. Exploratory well costs not meeting these criteria are charged to expense. Other exploratory expenditures, including geophysical costs and annual lease rentals, are expensed as incurred. Development costs, including costs of productive wells and development dry holes, are capitalized.

Interest costs incurred to finance expenditures during the construction phase of projects are capitalized as part of the historical cost of acquiring the constructed assets. The project construction phase commences with the development of the detailed engineering design and ends when the constructed assets are ready for their intended use. Capitalized interest costs are included in property, plant and equipment and are depreciated over the service life of the related assets.

Maintenance and repair costs, including planned major maintenance, are expensed as incurred. Improvements that increase or prolong the service life or capacity of an asset are capitalized.

*Depreciation, depletion and amortization* 

Depreciation, depletion and amortization are primarily determined under either the unit-of-production method or the straight-line method, which is based on estimated asset service life taking obsolescence into consideration. Depreciation and depletion for assets associated with producing properties begin at the time when production commences on a regular basis. Depreciation for other assets begins when the asset is in place and ready for its intended use. Assets under construction are not depreciated or depleted.

Acquisition costs of proved properties are amortized using a unit-of-production method, computed on the basis of total proved oil and natural gas reserve volumes. Capitalized exploratory drilling and development costs associated with productive depletable extractive properties are amortized using the unit-of-production rates based on the amount of proved developed reserves of oil and gas that are estimated to be recoverable from existing facilities using current operating methods. Under the unit-of-production method, oil and natural gas volumes are considered produced once they have been measured through meters at custody transfer or sales transaction points at the outlet valve on the lease or field storage tank. In the event that the unit-of-production method does not result in an equitable allocation of cost over the economic life of an upstream asset, an alternative method is used. The straight-line method is used in limited situations where the expected life of the asset does not reasonably correlate with that of the underlying reserves. For example, certain assets used in the production of oil and natural gas have a shorter life than the reserves, and as such, the company uses straight-line depreciation to ensure the asset is fully depreciated by the end of its useful life. Investments in mining heavy equipment and certain ore processing plant assets at oil sands mining properties are depreciated on a straight-line basis over a maximum of 15 years and 50 years respectively. Depreciation of other plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method, based on the estimated service life of the asset.

To the extent that proved reserves for a property are substantially de-booked and that property continues to produce such that the resulting depreciation charge does not result in an equitable allocation of cost over the expected life, assets will be depreciated using a unit-of-production method based on reserves determined at the most recent SEC price which results in a more meaningful quantity of proved reserves, appropriately adjusted for production and technical changes.

Investments in refinery and chemical process manufacturing equipment are generally depreciated on a straight-line basis over a 25-year life. Maintenance and repairs, including planned major maintenance, are expensed as incurred. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized and the assets replaced are retired.

*Impairment assessment* 

The company tests assets or groups of assets for recoverability on an ongoing basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable.

Among the events or changes in circumstances which could indicate that the carrying value of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable are the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a significant decrease in the market price of a long-lived asset;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which an asset is being used or in its physical condition, including a significant decrease in current and projected reserve volumes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate that could affect the value, including an adverse action or assessment by a regulator;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an accumulation of project costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a current-period operating loss combined with a history and forecast of operating or cash flow losses; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a current expectation that, more likely than not, a long-lived asset will be sold or otherwise disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life.

The company has a robust process to monitor for indicators of potential impairment across its asset groups throughout the year. This process is aligned with the requirements of *ASC 360* and *ASC 932* and relies, in part, on the company's planning and budgeting cycle. Asset valuation analysis, profitability reviews and other periodic control processes assist the company in assessing whether events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amounts of any of its assets may not be recoverable.

Because the lifespans of the vast majority of the company's major assets are measured in decades, the future cash flows of these assets are predominantly based on long-term oil and natural gas commodity prices and industry margins, development and production costs. Significant reductions in the company's view of oil or natural gas commodity prices or margin ranges, especially the longer-term prices and margins, and changes in the development plans, including decisions to defer, reduce or eliminate planned capital spending, can be an indicator of potential impairment. Other events or changes in circumstances, including indicators outlined in *ASC 360,* can be indicators of potential impairment as well.

In general, the company does not view temporarily low prices or margins as an indication of impairment. Management believes that prices over the long term must be sufficient to generate investments in energy supply to meet global demand. Although prices will occasionally drop significantly, industry prices over the long term will continue to be driven by market supply and demand fundamentals. On the supply side, industry production from mature fields is declining. This is being offset by investments to generate production from new discoveries, field developments, and technology and efficiency advancements. OPEC+ investment activities and production policies also have an impact on world oil supplies. The demand side is largely a function of general economic activities, alternative energy sources and levels of prosperity. During the lifespan of its major assets, the company expects that oil and gas prices and industry margins will experience significant volatility. Consequently, these assets will experience periods of higher earnings and periods of lower earnings, or even losses. In assessing whether events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable, the company considers recent periods of operating losses in the context of its longer-term view of prices and margins.

In the Upstream, the standardized measure of discounted cash flows included in the "Supplemental information on oil and gas exploration and production activities" is required to use prices based on the average of first-day-of-month prices in the year. These prices represent discrete points in time and could be higher or lower than the company's price assumptions which are used for impairment assessments. The company believes the standardized measure does not provide a reliable estimate of the expected future cash flows to be obtained from the development and production of its oil and gas properties or of the value of its oil and gas reserves and therefore does not consider it relevant in determining whether events or changes in circumstances indicate the need for an impairment assessment.

*Global Outlook and cash flow assessment* 

The annual planning and budgeting process, known as the company plan, is the mechanism by which resources (capital, operating expenses and people) are allocated across the company. The foundation for the energy supply and demand assumptions supporting the company plan begins with Exxon Mobil Corporation's *Global Outlook* (the Outlook), which contains demand and supply projections based on its assessment of current trends in technology, government policies, consumer preferences, geopolitics, economic development, and other factors.

Reflective of the existing global policy environment, the Outlook does not attempt to project the degree of necessary future policy and technology advancement and deployment for the world to meet net zero by 2050. As future policies and technology advancements emerge, they will be incorporated into the Outlook, and consequently, the company's business plans will be updated accordingly.

If events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable, the company estimates the future undiscounted cash flows of the affected properties to judge the recoverability of carrying amounts. In performing this assessment, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets. Cash flows used in recoverability assessments are based on the assumptions developed in the company plan, which is reviewed and approved by the board of directors, and are consistent with the criteria management uses to evaluate investment opportunities. These evaluations make use of the company's assumptions of future capital allocations, crude oil and natural gas commodity prices including price differentials, refining and chemical margins, volumes, development and operating costs, including greenhouse gas emissions prices, and foreign currency exchange rates. Volumes are based on projected field and facility production profiles, throughput, or sales. Management's estimate of upstream production volumes used for projected cash flows makes use of proved reserve quantities and may include risk-adjusted unproved reserve quantities. The greenhouse gas emission prices reflect existing or anticipated policy actions of applicable provincial and federal governments.

*Fair value of impaired assets* 

An asset group is impaired if its estimated future undiscounted cash flows are less than the asset group's carrying value. Impairments are measured by the excess of the carrying value over fair value. The assessment of fair value is based on the views of a likely market participant. The principal parameters used to establish fair value include estimates of acreage values and flowing production metrics from comparable market transactions, market-based estimates of historical cash flow multiples, and discounted cash flows. Inputs and assumptions used in discounted cash flow models include estimates of future production volumes, throughput and product sales volumes, commodity prices (which are consistent with the average of third-party industry experts and government agencies), refining and chemical margins, drilling and development costs, operating costs, and discount rates which are reflective of the characteristics of the asset group.

*Other impairment estimates* 

Unproved properties are assessed periodically to determine whether they have been impaired. Significant unproved properties are assessed for impairment individually, and valuation allowances against the capitalized costs are recorded based on the company's future development plans, the estimated economic chance of success and the length of time that the company expects to hold the properties. Properties that are not individually significant are aggregated by groups and amortized based on development risk and average holding period.

Long-lived assets that are held for sale are evaluated for possible impairment by comparing the carrying value of the asset with its fair value less the cost to sell. If the net book value exceeds the fair value less cost to sell, the assets are considered impaired and adjusted to the lower value. Gains on sales of proved and unproved properties are only recognized when there is neither uncertainty about the recovery of costs applicable to any interest retained nor any substantial obligation for future performance by the company.

**Asset retirement obligations and other environmental liabilities** 

The company incurs retirement obligations for certain assets. The fair values of these obligations are recorded as liabilities on a discounted basis, which is typically at the time the assets are installed. In the estimation of fair value, the company uses assumptions and judgments regarding such factors as the existence of a legal obligation for an asset retirement obligation, technical assessments of the assets, estimated amounts and timing of settlements, discount rates, and inflation rates. Asset retirement obligations incurred in the current period were level 3 fair value measurements. The costs associated with these liabilities are capitalized as part of the related assets and depreciated as the reserves are produced. Over time, the liabilities are accreted for the change in their present value.

Asset retirement obligations for downstream and chemical facilities generally become firm at the time the facilities are permanently shut down and dismantled. These obligations may include the costs of asset disposal and additional soil remediation. However, these sites generally have indeterminate lives based on plans for continued operations, and as such, the fair value of the conditional legal obligations cannot be measured, since it is impossible to estimate the future settlement dates of such obligations. Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements provides a three-year continuity table detailing the changes in asset retirement obligations.

The company accrues environmental liabilities when it is probable that obligations have been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Provisions for environmental liabilities are determined based on engineering estimated costs, taking into account the anticipated method and extent of remediation consistent with legal requirements, current technology and the possible use of the location. These provisions are not reduced by possible recoveries from third parties and projected cash expenditures are not discounted.

**Foreign-currency translation** 

Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies have been translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on December 31. Any exchange gains or losses are recognized in income.

**Note 2. Business segments**

The company operates its business in Canada, and its three reportable segments are Upstream, Downstream and Chemical. The factors used to identify these reportable segments are based on the nature of the operations that are undertaken by each segment, the structure of the company's internal organization, and reflect the nature of internal reviews by the company's Management Committee (MC). The MC is considered collectively, and not in their individual capacity, to be the company's Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), and includes the company's CEO, CFO, and a senior vice-president, who oversee the Upstream, Downstream and Chemical businesses. The Upstream segment is organized and operates to explore for and ultimately produce crude oil and its equivalent, and natural gas. The Downstream segment is organized and operates to refine crude oil into petroleum products and to distribute and market these products. The Chemical segment is organized and operates to manufacture and market hydrocarbon-based chemicals and chemical products. The above segmentation has been the long-standing practice of the company and is broadly understood across the petroleum and petrochemical industries.

Corporate and other includes assets and liabilities that do not specifically relate to business segments – primarily cash, capitalized interest costs, short-term borrowings, long-term debt and liabilities associated with incentive compensation, pension and other postretirement benefit liabilities. Net earnings effects under Corporate and other activities primarily include debt-related financing, corporate governance costs, non-service pension and postretirement benefit costs, share-based incentive compensation expenses and interest income.

The CODM generally allocates resources through an annual planning process. They also allocate capital based on detailed project economics and long-term strategic objectives across reportable segments. The CODM primarily uses changes in Net Income (loss) to assess segment financial performance.

Segment accounting policies are the same as those described in note 1, "Summary of significant accounting policies". Upstream, Downstream and Chemical expenses include amounts allocated from Corporate and other activities. The allocation is based on proportional segment expenses. Transfers of assets between segments are recorded at book amounts. Intersegment sales are made essentially at prevailing market prices. Assets and liabilities that are not identifiable by segment are allocated.

(a)Includes export sales to the United States of $9,223 million (2024 - $10,300 million, 2023 - $8,982 million).

(b)Revenues include both revenue within the scope of *ASC 606* and outside the scope of *ASC 606*. Trade receivables in "Accounts receivable - net" reported on the Consolidated balance sheet include both receivables within the scope of *ASC 606* and outside the scope of *ASC 606*. Revenue and receivables outside the scope of *ASC 606* primarily relate to physically settled commodity contracts accounted for as derivatives. Contractual terms, credit quality and type of customer are generally similar between contracts within the scope of *ASC 606* and those outside it.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

**Unrecognized tax benefits** 

Unrecognized tax benefits reflect the difference between positions taken or expected to be taken on income tax returns and the amounts recognized in the financial statements.

The following table summarizes the movement in unrecognized tax benefits:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| millions of Canadian dollars | **2025** | 2024 | 2023 |
| Balance as of January 1 | **34** | 47 | 60 |
| Additions based on current year's tax position | **6** | 2 | 7 |
| Additions for prior years' tax positions | **3** |  |  |
| Settlements with tax authorities | **(1)** | (15) | (20) |
| Balance as of December 31 | **42** | 34 | 47 |

---

The unrecognized tax benefit balances shown above predominantly relate to tax positions that would reduce the company's effective tax rate if the positions are favourably resolved. Unfavourable resolution of these tax positions generally would not increase the effective tax rate. The 2025, 2024 and 2023 changes in unrecognized tax benefits did not have a material effect on the company's net income or cash flow. The company's tax filings from 2020 to 2025 are subject to examination by the tax authorities. Tax filings from 2009 to 2024 have open objections and therefore are also subject to examination by the tax authorities. The Canada Revenue Agency has made certain adjustments to the company's filings. Management has evaluated these adjustments and is formally disputing those matters to which the company disagrees. The impact on unrecognized tax benefits and the company's effective income tax rate from these matters is not expected to be material.

Resolution of the related tax positions could take many years to complete. It is difficult to predict the timing of resolution for tax positions since such timing is not entirely within the control of the company.

The company classifies interest on income tax related balances as interest expense or interest income and classifies tax related penalties as operating expense.

Unrecognized tax benefits are not classified as future commitments because the company does not expect there will be any cash impact from the final settlements as sufficient funds have been deposited with the Canada Revenue Agency.

**Note 4. Employee retirement benefits**

Retirement benefits, which cover almost all retired employees and their surviving spouses, include pension income and certain health care and life insurance benefits. They are met through funded registered retirement plans and through unfunded supplementary benefits that are paid directly to recipients.

Pension income benefits consist mainly of company-paid defined benefit plans that are based on years of service and final average earnings. The company shares in the cost of health care and life insurance benefits. The company's benefit obligations are based on the projected benefit method of valuation that includes employee service to date and present compensation levels, as well as a projection of salaries to retirement.

The expense and obligations for both funded and unfunded benefits are determined in accordance with accepted actuarial practices and U.S. GAAP. The process for determining retirement-income expense and related obligations includes making certain long-term assumptions regarding the discount rate, rate of return on plan assets and rate of compensation increases. The obligation and pension expense can vary significantly with changes in the assumptions used to estimate the obligation and the expected return on plan assets.

The benefit obligations and plan assets associated with the company's defined benefit plans are measured on December 31.

The discount rate for the purpose of calculating year-end postretirement benefits plan obligation is determined by using the Canadian Institute of Actuaries recommended spot yield curve for high-quality, long-term Canadian corporate bonds with an average maturity (or duration) approximating that of the liabilities. For the measurement of the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation, the assumed health care cost trend rates start with 6.14 percent in 2026 and gradually decline to 3.57 percent by 2038 and beyond.

Funding of registered retirement plans complies with federal and provincial pension regulations, and the company makes contributions to the plans based on an independent actuarial valuation. In accordance with authoritative guidance relating to the accounting for defined pension and other postretirement benefits plans, the overfunded or underfunded status of the company's defined benefit postretirement plans was recorded as an asset or liability in the Consolidated balance sheet, and the changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occurred was recognized through other comprehensive income.

The company establishes the long-term expected rate of return on plan assets by developing a forward-looking long-term return assumption for each asset class, taking into account factors such as the expected real return for the specific asset class and inflation. A single, long-term rate of return is then calculated as the weighted average of the target asset allocation percentages and the long-term return assumption for each asset class. The 2025 long-term expected return of 4.4 percent used in the calculations of pension expense compares to an actual rate of return of 4.5 percent and 5.6 percent over the last 10- and 20-year periods respectively, ending December 31, 2025.

The company's investment strategy for pension plan assets reflects a long-term view, a careful assessment of the risks inherent in plan assets and liabilities and broad diversification to reduce the risk of the portfolio. The pension plan assets are primarily invested in passive global equity and domestic fixed income index funds to diversify risk while minimizing costs. The fixed income funds are largely invested in investment-grade corporate and government debt securities with interest rate sensitivity designed to approximate the interest rate sensitivity of plan liabilities. The target asset allocation for the pension plan is reviewed periodically and set based on considerations such as risk, diversification, liquidity, and funding level. The target asset allocation for equity securities is 15 percent with the remainder in fixed-income securities.

The fair value measurement levels are accounting terms that refer to different methods of valuing assets. The terms do not represent the relative risk or credit quality of an investment.

The 2025 fair value of the pension plan assets, including the level within the fair value hierarchy, is shown in the table below:

**Note 6. Financial and derivative instruments**

**Financial instruments** 

The fair value of the company's financial instruments is determined by reference to various market data and other appropriate valuation techniques. There are no material differences between the fair value of the company's financial instruments and the recorded carrying value. At December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the fair value of long-term debt ($3,447 million, excluding finance lease obligations) was primarily a level 2 measurement.

**Derivative instruments** 

The company's size, strong capital structure and the complementary nature of its business segments reduce the company's enterprise-wide risk from changes in commodity prices, currency rates and interest rates. In addition, the company uses commodity-based contracts, including derivatives, to manage commodity price risk and to generate returns from trading. Commodity contracts held for trading purposes are presented in the Consolidated statement of income on a net basis in the line "Revenues" and in the Consolidated statement of cash flows in "Cash flows from (used in) operating activities". The company's commodity derivatives are not accounted for under hedge accounting.

Credit risk associated with the company's derivative position is mitigated by several factors, including the use of derivative clearing exchanges and the quality of and financial limits placed on derivative counterparties. The company maintains a system of controls that includes the authorization, reporting and monitoring of derivative activity.

At December 31, the net notional long/(short) position of derivative instruments was:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| thousands of barrels | **2025** | 2024 |
| Crude | **954** | 4260 |
| Products | **(702)** | (371) |

**Note 7. Share-based incentive compensation programs**

Share-based incentive compensation programs are designed to retain selected employees, reward them for high performance and promote individual contribution to sustained improvement in the company's future business performance and shareholder value over the long-term. The nonemployee directors also participate in share-based incentive compensation programs.

**Restricted stock units and deferred share units** 

Under the restricted stock unit plan, each unit entitles the recipient to the conditional right to receive from the company, upon vesting, an amount equal to the value of one common share of the company, based on the five-day average of the closing price of the company's common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange on and immediately prior to the vesting dates. For the majority of the units, 50 percent of the units vest on the third anniversary of the grant date, and the remainder vest on the seventh anniversary of the grant date. Some management, professional, and technical participants will receive awards granted that vest 100 percent after three years. The company may also issue units to the chairman, president and chief executive officer where 50 percent of the units vest on the fifth anniversary of the grant date and the remainder vest on the tenth anniversary of the grant date, except that for awards granted prior to 2020, the vesting of the tenth anniversary portion is delayed until retirement if later than 10 years.

The deferred share unit plan is made available to nonemployee directors. The nonemployee directors can elect to receive all or part of their eligible directors' fees in units. The number of units granted is determined at the end of each calendar quarter by dividing the dollar amount of the nonemployee director's fees for that calendar quarter elected to be received as deferred share units by the average closing price of the company's shares for the five consecutive trading days ("average closing price") immediately prior to the last day of the calendar quarter. Additional units are granted to represent dividends on unexercised units, and are calculated by dividing the cash dividend payable on the company's shares by the average closing price immediately prior to the payment date for that dividend and multiplying the resulting number by the number of deferred share units held by the recipient, as adjusted for any share splits. Deferred share units cannot be exercised until after termination of service as a director, including termination due to death, and must be exercised in their entirety in one election no later than December 31 of the year following the year of termination of service. On the exercise date, the cash value to be received for the units is determined based on the company's average closing price immediately prior to the date of exercise, as adjusted for any share splits.

All units require settlement by cash payments with the following exceptions. The restricted stock unit program provides that, for units granted to Canadian residents, the recipient may receive one common share of the company per unit or elect to receive the cash payment for the units that vest on the seventh year anniversary of the grant date. For units where 50 percent vest on the fifth anniversary of the grant date and the remainder vest on the tenth anniversary of grant, the recipient may receive one common share of the company per unit or elect to receive cash payment for all that vest.

The company accounts for all units by using the fair-value-based method. The fair value of awards in the form of restricted stock and deferred share units is the market price of the company's stock. Under this method, compensation expense related to the units of these programs is measured each reporting period based on the company's current stock price and is recorded in the Consolidated statement of income over the requisite service period of each award.

The following table summarizes information about these units for the year ended December 31, 2025:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | Restricted<br> stock units | Deferred<br> share units |
| Outstanding at January 1, 2025 | **4223070** | **44706** |
| Granted | **918900** | **6393** |
| Vested/Exercised | **(717310)** | **—** |
| Forfeited and cancelled | **(42620)** | **—** |
| Outstanding at December 31, 2025 | **4382040** | **51099** |

In 2025, the before-tax compensation expense charged against income for the restricted stock units and deferred share units was $212 million (2024 - $116 million, 2023 - $52 million). Income tax benefit recognized in income related to this compensation expense for the year was $51 million (2024 - $28 million, 2023 - $13 million). Cash payments of $107 million were made related to this compensation expense in 2025 (2024 - $74 million, 2023 - $68 million).

As of December 31, 2025, there was $251 million of total before-tax unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested restricted stock units based on the company's share price at the end of the current reporting period. The weighted-average vesting period of non-vested restricted stock units is 4.2 years. All units under the deferred share programs have vested as of December 31, 2025.

| Gain (loss) on asset sales, after-tax  | **(9)** | 16 | 63 |

---

**Note 9. Litigation and other contingencies**

A variety of claims have been made against the company and its subsidiaries in a number of lawsuits.

Management has regular litigation reviews, including updates from corporate and outside counsel to assess the need for accounting recognition or disclosure of these contingencies. The company accrues an undiscounted liability for those contingencies where the incurrence of a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If a range of amounts can be reasonably estimated and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, then the minimum of the range is accrued. The company does not record liabilities when the likelihood that the liability has been incurred is probable but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated or when the liability is believed to be only reasonably possible or remote. For contingencies where an unfavourable outcome is reasonably possible and which are significant, the company discloses the nature of the contingency and, where feasible, an estimate of the possible loss. For purposes of the company's contingency disclosures, "significant" includes material matters, as well as other matters which management believes should be disclosed. Based on a consideration of all relevant facts and circumstances, the company does not believe the ultimate outcome of any currently pending lawsuits against the company will have a material adverse effect on the company's operations, financial condition, or financial statements taken as a whole.

Additionally, the company has other commitments arising in the normal course of business for operating and capital needs, all of which are expected to be fulfilled with no adverse consequences material to the company's operations, financial condition, or financial statements taken as a whole. Unconditional purchase obligations, as defined by accounting standards, are long-term commitments that are non-cancellable or cancellable only under certain conditions and that third parties have used to secure financing for the facilities that will provide the contracted goods and services. The company has not entered into any unconditional purchase obligations.

There were outstanding letters of credit aggregating to $668 million at December 31, 2025 (2024 - $475 million), issued as security for financial and performance conditions in relation to certain contracts and commitments. These letters of credit do not reduce any available funds under current borrowing arrangements.

As a result of the completed sale of the remaining company-owned Esso retail sites, the company was contingently liable at December 31, 2025, for guarantees relating to performance under contracts of other third-party obligations totalling $7 million (2024 - $10 million).

In the fourth quarter of 2025, the company recorded contractual obligations associated with the Norman Wells end of field life acceleration (see note 11, "Miscellaneous financial information").

The most recent 12-month normal course issuer bid program came into effect June 29, 2025, under which Imperial continued its then-existing share purchase program. The program enabled the company to purchase up to a maximum of 25,452,248 common shares (5 percent of the total shares on June 15, 2025) which included shares purchased under the normal course issuer bid from Exxon Mobil Corporation. As in the past, Exxon Mobil Corporation advised the company that it intended to participate to maintain its ownership percentage at approximately 69.6 percent. The program completed on December 17, 2025 as a result of the company purchasing the maximum allowable number of shares under the program.

The excess of the purchase cost over the stated value of shares purchased has been recorded as a distribution of earnings reinvested.

The company's common share activities are summarized below:

**Note 11. Miscellaneous financial information**

**LIFO inventory**

In 2025, net income included an after-tax gain of $61 million (2024 - $61 million gain, 2023 - $5 million gain) attributable to the effect of changes in last-in, first-out (LIFO) inventories. The replacement cost of inventories was estimated to exceed their LIFO carrying values at December 31, 2025 by about $1.5 billion (2024 - $2.0 billion). Inventories of crude oil and products at year-end consisted of the following:

---

| Biofuels | **225** | 40 |
| Other | **394** | 331 |
| Total | **2211** | 1642 |

---

**Research and development**

Research expenditures are mainly spent on developing technologies to improve bitumen recovery, reduce costs and reduce the environmental impact of upstream operations, including technologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions intensity, supporting environmental and process improvements in the refineries, as well as accessing ExxonMobil's research worldwide.

The company has scientific research agreements with affiliates of ExxonMobil, which provide for technical and engineering work to be performed by all parties, the exchange of technical information and the assignment and licensing of patents, and patent rights. These agreements provide mutual access to scientific and operating data related to nearly every phase of the petroleum and petrochemical operations of the parties.

Net research and development costs charged to expenses in 2025 were $134 million (2024 - $118 million, 2023 - $84 million). These costs are included in expenses due to the uncertainty of future benefits.

**Accounts payable and accrued liabilities**

"Accounts payable and accrued liabilities" included accrued taxes other than income taxes of $393 million at December 31, 2025 (2024 - $524 million), dividends payable of $350 million at December 31, 2025 (2024 - $307 million) and other miscellaneous current liabilities of $1,151 million at December 31, 2025 (2024 - $739 million).

**Government assistance**

ASC 832 "Government Assistance" requires disclosure of certain types of government assistance not otherwise covered by authoritative accounting guidance. The company receives allowances from governments in the form of emission credits as a result of performing better than facility level expectations for emission targets and records these at a nominal amount, generally in "Inventories of crude oil and products" on the Consolidated balance sheet. During 2024 and 2025, government assistance was immaterial to the company's financial results.

------

**Restructuring charges**

On September 29, 2025, the company announced restructuring plans to improve its performance by centralizing additional corporate and technical activities in global business and technology centres. The restructuring plans include a program of targeted workforce reductions. The program, which is expected to be substantially completed by the end of 2027, involves involuntary employee separations. In the third quarter of 2025, the company recorded charges of $330 million, before-tax, consisting primarily of restructuring costs associated with announced workforce reduction programs. These costs are captured in "Selling and general" on the Consolidated statement of income and reported in the Corporate and other segment.

The following table summarizes the reserves and charges related to the workforce reduction program, which are recorded in "Accounts payable and accrued liabilities" and "Other long-term obligations" on the Consolidated balance sheet.

**Calgary Imperial Campus**

In the third quarter of 2025, the Corporate and other segment included a non-cash impairment charge of $406 million, before-tax, in conjunction with the company signing an agreement to sell the Calgary Imperial Campus. The impairment was reflected in "Depreciation and depletion (includes impairments)" on the Consolidated statement of income and in "Property, plant and equipment, less accumulated depreciation and depletion" on the Consolidated balance sheet. The transaction closed in the fourth quarter of 2025.

**Norman Wells**

In the fourth quarter of 2025, the company accelerated the end of field life of the Norman Wells asset, resulting in a $421 million expense, before-tax, reported in the Upstream segment. The expense consisted of a non-cash impairment charge of $142 million, reflected in "Depreciation and depletion (includes impairments)" on the Consolidated statement of income and in "Property, plant and equipment, less accumulated depreciation and depletion" on the Consolidated balance sheet, and a one-time charge of $279 million related to contractual obligations associated with the end of field life acceleration, reflected in "Production and manufacturing" on the Consolidated statement of income.

During the fourth quarter of 2025, the company extended the maturity dates of its two existing $250 million committed lines of credit to November 2026 and November 2027, respectively.

The company has not drawn on any of its outstanding $500 million of available credit facilities.

At December 31, 2025 and at December 31, 2024, the company had no short-term borrowings outstanding.

------

**Note 13. Leases**

The company generally purchases the property, plant and equipment used in operations, but there are situations where assets are leased, primarily storage tanks, rail cars, marine vessels, and transportation and other facilities. Right of use assets and lease liabilities are established on the balance sheet for leases with an expected term greater than one year, by discounting the amounts fixed in the lease agreement for the duration of the lease which is reasonably certain, considering the probability of exercising any early termination and extension options. The portion of the fixed payment related to service costs for tankers and finance leases is excluded from the calculation of right of use assets and lease liabilities. Usually, assets are leased only for a portion of their useful lives and are accounted for as operating leases. In limited situations, assets are leased for nearly all of their useful lives and are accounted for as finance leases. In general, leases are capitalized using the company's incremental borrowing rate.

Variable payments under these lease agreements are not significant. Residual value guarantees, restrictions, or covenants related to leases, and transactions with related parties are also not significant. The company's activities as a lessor are not material.

The table below summarizes the total lease cost incurred:

**Note 15. Accounting for suspended exploratory well costs**

The company continues capitalization of exploratory well costs when the well has found a sufficient quantity of reserves to justify its completion as a producing well and the company is making sufficient progress assessing the reserves and the economic and operating viability of the project. The term "project" as used in this report can refer to a variety of different activities and does not necessarily have the same meaning as in any government payment transparency reports. The company had no capitalized suspended exploratory well costs as at December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.

Exploration activity involves drilling multiple wells, over a number of years, to fully evaluate a project. The company had no projects with exploratory wells costs capitalized as at December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.

**Note 16. Transactions with related parties**

Revenues and expenses of the company also include the results of transactions with affiliated companies of ExxonMobil in the normal course of operations. These were conducted on terms comparable to those which would have been conducted with unrelated parties and primarily consisted of the purchase and sale of crude oil, natural gas, petroleum and chemical products, as well as technical, engineering and research and development costs. Transactions with ExxonMobil also included amounts paid and received in connection with the company's participation in a number of upstream activities conducted jointly in Canada.

In addition, the company has existing agreements with ExxonMobil:

a) To provide services to the company and to share common business and operational support services that allow the companies to consolidate duplicate work and systems;

b) To operate certain western Canada production properties owned by ExxonMobil, as well as provide for the delivery of management, business and technical services to ExxonMobil in Canada. These agreements are designed to provide organizational efficiencies and to reduce costs. No separate legal entities were created from these arrangements. Separate books of account continue to be maintained for the company and ExxonMobil. The company and ExxonMobil retain ownership of their respective assets, and there is no impact on operations or reserves;

c) To provide for the option of equal participation in new upstream opportunities; and

d) To enter into derivative agreements on each other's behalf.

Certain charges from ExxonMobil have been capitalized; they are not material in the aggregate.

Related party revenues and purchases in 2025 were $13,534 million and $5,369 million, respectively. Related party revenues and purchases in 2024 have been revised from $11,725 million to $14,654 million and from $3,722 million to $6,651 million, respectively. Related party revenues and purchases in 2023 have been revised from $13,544 million to $16,166 million and from $4,125 million to $6,747 million, respectively. Impacts of the revision offset to zero.

**Standardized measure of discounted future cash flows**

As required by the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board, the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is computed by applying first-day-of-the-month average prices, year-end costs and legislated tax rates, and a discount factor of 10 percent to net proved reserves. The standardized measure includes costs for future dismantlement, abandonment and remediation obligations. The company believes the standardized measure does not provide a reliable estimate of the company's expected future cash flows to be obtained from the development and production of its oil and gas properties or of the value of its proved oil and gas reserves. The standardized measure is prepared on the basis of certain prescribed assumptions, including first-day-of-the-month average prices, which represent discrete points in time and therefore may cause significant variability in cash flows from year to year as prices change.

The information above describes changes during the years and balances of proved oil and gas reserves at year-end 2023, 2024 and 2025. The definitions used are in accordance with the SEC Rule 4-10 (a) of Regulation S-X.

Proved oil and natural gas reserves are those quantities of oil and gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible – from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods and government regulations – prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire. In some cases, substantial new investments in additional wells and other facilities will be required to recover these proved reserves.

------

In accordance with SEC rules, the year-end reserves volumes, as well as the reserves change categories shown in the proved reserves tables are required to be calculated on the basis of average prices during the 12-month period prior to the ending date of the period covered by the report, determined as an unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within such period. These reserves quantities were also used in calculating unit-of-production depreciation rates and in calculating the standardized measure of discounted net cash flow.

Revisions in previously estimated volumes of proved reserves for existing fields can occur due to the evaluation or re-evaluation of already available geologic, reservoir or production data; new geologic, reservoir or production data; or changes in the average of first-day-of-the-month oil and natural gas prices and/or costs that are used in the estimation of reserves. Revisions can also result from significant changes in either development strategy or production equipment and facility capacity.

In 2023, upward revisions of proved bitumen of 0.1 billion barrels were driven by lower royalty obligations associated with lower pricing and minor technical revisions at Cold Lake and Kearl. A slight increase in proved reserves for synthetic crude oil is associated with lower royalty obligations associated with pricing. Conventional proved liquids reserves decreased to zero under existing pricing and operating conditions.

In 2024, upward revisions of proved bitumen of 0.1 billion barrels were primarily driven by updates to the Kearl geological model, Kearl well density, and Cold Lake infill drilling, partially offset by reductions associated with higher royalty obligations and Kearl pit limit updates. A decrease to synthetic oil proved reserves is associated with regulatory approval for ore sterilization at Syncrude.

In 2025, upward revisions of proved bitumen were primarily driven by steam scheduling, development drilling, LASER process at Cold Lake and lower royalty obligations associated with pricing for both Kearl and Cold Lake. An increase in proved reserves for synthetic crude oil is associated with lower royalty obligation.

Under the terms of certain contractual arrangements or government royalty regimes, lower prices can also increase proved reserves attributable to the company. The company's operating decisions and its outlook for future production volumes are not impacted by proved reserves as disclosed under the SEC definition.

Net proved reserves are determined by deducting the estimated future share of mineral owners or governments or both. For liquids and natural gas, net proved reserves are based on estimated future royalty rates as of the date the estimate is made incorporating the applicable governments' oil and gas royalty regimes. For bitumen, net proved reserves are based on the company's best estimate of average royalty rates over the remaining life of each of the Cold Lake and Kearl fields, and they incorporate the Alberta government's oil sands royalty regime. For synthetic crude oil, net proved reserves are based on the company's best estimate of average royalty rates over the remaining life of the project, and they incorporate the Alberta government's oil sands royalty regime. In all cases, actual future royalty rates may vary with production, price and costs.

Net proved developed reserves are those volumes that are expected to be recovered through existing wells, facilities, or mining activities with existing equipment and operating methods or in which the cost of the required equipment is relatively minor compared to the cost of a new well or facility. Net proved undeveloped reserves are those volumes that are expected to be recovered as a result of future investments to drill new wells, to recomplete existing wells and/or to install facilities to collect and deliver the production from existing and future wells, facilities, or mining activities.

**Majority voting policy**

In 2022, amendments to the *Canada Business Corporations Act* came into force implementing majority voting requirements for uncontested director elections. These amendments provide for the election of a director only if the number of "for" votes represents a majority of the votes cast both "for" and "against" the director. Following the implementation of these amendments, the company's existing majority voting policy was rendered redundant and was revoked by the board.

**Tenure of our board nominees**

***Our board nominees have varying lengths of tenure providing a blend of*** <br>***continuity and renewal that supports effective governance.***<br>

The board charter provides that incumbent directors will not be re-nominated if they have attained the age of 72, except under exceptional circumstances and at the request of the chairman. The company does not have term limits for independent directors because it values the comprehensive knowledge of the company that long-serving directors possess and independent directors are expected to remain qualified to serve for a minimum of five years.

The following chart shows the current years of service of the nominees for the board of directors and the year they would normally be required to retire from the board.

**Independence of our board members and nominees**

 ***Four out of seven of the director nominees are independent.***<br>

The board is currently composed of eight directors, seven of whom will be standing for re-election at the annual meeting of shareholders on May 4, 2026. D.W. Cornhill is a current director, but will not stand for re-election as he has reached the company's mandatory retirement age for directors. The majority of the board (five out of eight) and nominees (four out of seven) are independent. The independent directors and nominees are not employees of the company.

The board determines independence on the basis of the standards specified by *National Instrument 52-110 Audit Committees* (NI 52-110)*,* the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules and the listing standards of the NYSE American LLC. The board has reviewed relevant relationships between the company and each nonemployee director and director nominee to determine compliance with these standards.

Based on the directors' responses to an annual questionnaire, the board determined that none of the independent directors has any interest, business or other relationship that could or could reasonably be perceived to constitute a material relationship with the company. J.R.Whelan is a director and chairman, president and chief executive officer of the company and is not considered to be independent. The board believes that Mr. Whelan's extensive knowledge of the business of the company and Exxon Mobil Corporation is beneficial to the other directors and his participation enhances the effectiveness of the board.

T.T. Bryja and N.A. Hansen are also non-independent directors as they are both employees of Exxon Mobil Corporation. Ms. Bryja holds the position of senior vice-president, energy products at ExxonMobil Product Solutions Company, a division of Exxon Mobil Corporation. Mr. Hansen holds the position of senior vice-president and chief financial officer, Exxon Mobil Corporation. The company believes that Ms. Bryja and Mr. Hansen, although deemed non-independent under the relevant standards by virtue of their employment, can be viewed as independent of the company's management and that their ability to reflect the perspective of the company's shareholders enhances the effectiveness of the board.

**Interlocking directorships of our board nominees**

As of the date of this proxy circular, there are no interlocking public company directorships among the nominees.

------

**Director qualification and selection process**

***Our board of directors is composed of individuals with diverse qualifications ensuring*** <br>***the skills needed to oversee the company's operations and drive long-term success.***<br>

The nominations and corporate governance committee is responsible for identifying and recommending new candidates for board nomination. The committee identifies candidates from a number of sources, including executive search firms and referrals from existing directors. The process for selection is described in paragraph 11(a) of the Board of Directors Charter found in Appendix A of this circular. The committee will consider potential future candidates as required.

In considering the qualifications of potential nominees for election as directors, the nominations and corporate governance committee considers the work experience and other areas of expertise of the potential nominees, with the objective of providing for diversity among the nonemployee directors. The following key criteria are considered to be relevant to the work of the board of directors and its committees:

Work experience

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Experience in leadership of businesses or other large organizations (Leadership of large organizations)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Operations/technical experience (Operations / technical)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Project management experience (Project management)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Experience in working in a global work environment (Global experience)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Experience in development of business strategy (Strategy development)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Experience with environmental, health, community relations and/or safety policy, practices and management (Environment and sustainability)

Other expertise

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Audit committee financial expert (also see the financial expert section in the audit committee table starting on page [137](#i8dca6fac267340ec8bb8ebad325497c3_15628))

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Expertise in financial matters (Financial expertise)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Expertise in managing relations with government (Government relations)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Expertise in information technology and cybersecurity oversight (Information technology / cybersecurity oversight)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Expertise in executive compensation policies and practices (Executive compensation)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Expertise in oversight of risk management policies and practices (Risk management)

The nominations and corporate governance committee may consider the following additional factors in assessing potential nominees:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• possessing expertise in any of the following areas: law, science, marketing, administration, social/political environment or community and civic affairs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• individual competencies in business and other areas of endeavour in contributing to the collective experience of the directors; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• providing diversity of age, regional association, gender and other diversity elements (including Aboriginal peoples, persons with disabilities and members of visible minorities).

The nominations and corporate governance committee assesses the work experience and other expertise each existing director possesses and whether the candidate is able to fill any gaps in such experience, expertise and diversity of age, regional association, gender and other diversity elements. More detailed information on diversity of the board can be found at page [151](#i2069983a27c948fbac54d446c7cf7036_646). Consideration is also given to whether candidates possess the ability to contribute to the broad range of issues with which the board and its committees must deal, are able to devote the necessary amount of time to prepare for and attend board and committee meetings and are free of any potential legal impediment or conflict of interest.

Candidates are expected to remain qualified to serve for a minimum of five years and independent directors are expected to achieve ownership of no less than 16,500 common shares, deferred share units and restricted stock units within five years of becoming an independent director.

When the committee is recommending candidates for re-nomination, it assesses such candidates against the criteria for re-nomination as set out in paragraph 11(b) of the Board of Directors Charter found in Appendix A of this circular. Candidates for re-nomination are expected not to change their principal position, the thrust of their involvement or their regional association in a way that would significantly detract from their value as a director of the corporation. They are also expected to continue to be compatible with the criteria that led to their selection

------

as nominees. Under exceptional circumstances, the nominations and corporate governance committee, on the request of the chairman, may continue to support the nomination of a director who has attained the mandatory retirement age.

In 2024 and 2025, the nominations and corporate governance committee, together with the executive resources committee, carried out a succession process that led to the nomination and appointment of J.R. Whelan as the successor to B.W. Corson. The chief executive officer succession process was led jointly by the chair of the nominations and corporate governance committee, the chair of the executive resources committee, the lead director and the chairman, president and chief executive officer, Mr. Corson. A shortlist of potential candidates was developed and Mr. Whelan was selected as the preferred candidate to succeed Mr. Corson. The board and separately, the five independent directors, interviewed Mr. Whelan. The independent directors unanimously agreed to convey their support to the board regarding Mr. Whelan's nomination and appointments. In February 2025 the board approved (a) the nomination of Mr. Whelan for director at the annual meeting of shareholders on May 8, 2025 (at which Mr. Whelan was elected as a director), and (b) the appointment of Mr. Whelan as president effective April 1, 2025 and as chief executive officer and (provided that Mr. Whelan was elected as a director) as chairman effective at the conclusion of such meeting.

Recognizing that D.W. Cornhill would not be standing for re-election at the annual meeting of shareholders as he has reached the company's mandatory retirement age for directors, the nominations and corporate governance committee recommended that T.T. Bryja be appointed as director, and the board approved such appointment in September 2025. Presently the senior vice-president, energy products at ExxonMobil Product Solutions Company, Ms. Bryja has more than 27 years of experience across a number of ExxonMobil downstream and corporate organizations, bringing valuable industry leadership experience while her ability to reflect the perspective of the company's shareholders enhances the effectiveness of the board.

**Director orientation, education and development**

***The company regularly provides in-depth presentations to the directors on relevant*** <br>***and emerging issues and encourages continuing education opportunities.***<br>

The corporate secretary organizes an orientation program for all new directors. In a series of meetings over several days, new directors are briefed by staff and functional managers on all significant areas of the company's operations, industry specific topics, risk oversight and regulatory issues. New directors are also briefed on significant company policies, organizational structure, security, information technology management and on critical planning and reserves processes. They also receive key governance and disclosure documents and a comprehensive board manual which contains a record of historical information about the company, by-laws, company policies, the charters of the board and its committees, other relevant company business information, information on directors' duties and additional board related activities and calendars. J.R. Whelan was elected to the board at the annual meeting of shareholders on May 8, 2025, and T.T. Bryja was appointed to the board on September 16, 2025. Shortly after each appointment, both J.R. Whelan and T.T. Bryja completed an extensive orientation program with the company's corporate secretary and senior managers of various departments. They each participated in comprehensive onboarding sessions, including in-depth reviews of the company's history, culture, practices, businesses and operations, risk framework, and ethics and other foundational policies, and in-depth reviews of legal and regulatory requirements, the Canadian climate framework, the company's emissions profile, emissions-related targets and plans for achieving such targets, and energy industry dynamics in general.

Board and committee members participate in continuing education and maintain oversight over company operations through regular presentations by management, which focus on providing and discussing more in-depth information about key aspects of the business. Subject to exceptional circumstances, each year the board has an extended meeting that focuses on a particular area of the company's operations and includes a visit to one or more of the company's operating sites or a site of relevance. These site visits help directors better understand the strengths and business opportunities unique to various operations and markets across the country, and enhance the board's perspective of the integrated nature of the company's business. In 2025, the board visited the ExxonMobil corporate headquarters near Houston, Texas for tours of the trading, centralized control room and remote operations centers, and presentations relating to ExxonMobil's global capabilities.

------

One way in which the board and its committees exercise oversight is through regularly receiving and discussing presentations and updates that focus on performance, strategy and opportunities for the business. In 2025, director oversight included regular reviews of upstream and downstream operations, performance, plans and strategies, enterprise risk management framework and business controls, safety, environmental performance and sustainability and climate strategy.

Recognizing the importance of oversight relating to cybersecurity and artificial intelligence, the directors also reviewed and considered presentations relating to information technology and cybersecurity strategies to assess the security and integrity of the company's information, systems and assets, including risks relating to the use of artificial intelligence technologies by the company and others. The board also reviewed presentations on the company's risk assessment processes for forced labour and child labour in its supply chain.

With strong market conditions and business performance throughout the year, the board and its committees focused on strategic direction, operational priorities, capital allocation and prioritizing shareholder returns. This included reviews and approval of renewal and acceleration of the company's normal course issuer bid.

The board and committees also maintained oversight over the company's various environmental, social and governance initiatives throughout the year. There was a continued focus by the board and its committees on the company's progress with emissions reduction initiatives, including the company's continued participation in the Pathways Alliance and setting and tracking emissions reduction goals. The board and committees also undertook a comprehensive assessment of the company's corporate governance framework, with a focus on restructuring board committees and updating their charters to enhance efficiency and alignment with high corporate governance standards and also undertook reviews of disclosure and emissions performance, safety performance, Canada climate policy updates and a review of the company's regulatory compliance framework and management system. Please see the Risk oversight section for more information on the board's role in relation to the environment.

Members of ExxonMobil's management also provide reviews of various aspects of ExxonMobil's global business. In 2025, the directors considered presentations on ExxonMobil's global internal audit process and strategy, risk management framework, cybersecurity, corporate strategy, and its global outlook.

Prior to each board meeting, members of the board receive and review an extensive package of materials that provides a comprehensive summary on each agenda item to be discussed. Similarly, the committee members also receive and review a comprehensive summary on each agenda item to be discussed by that particular committee. Informational communications and other written publications or reports of interest to the directors are also forwarded routinely.

The board members are canvassed as to whether there are any additional topics relevant to the board or to a specific committee that they would like to see addressed, and management schedules presentations covering these areas for discussion. In addition, at every meeting the board receives an extensive update from the chairman, president and chief executive officer on business environment trends, relevant geopolitical activities, federal government priorities, key provincial issues and competitor activities, as appropriate.

Directors are encouraged to participate in other continuing education programs and events to ensure their skills and knowledge remain current. In 2025, one or more directors participated in continuing education provided by third parties pertaining to, among other things, cybersecurity and artificial intelligence, board strategy and ethics, and accounting and financial courses. Furthermore, the board recognizes the importance of the company's relationships with Indigenous communities and acknowledges the calls to action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, and all of the directors and members of the management committee have completed the "4 Seasons of Reconciliation" course provided by the Indigenous Continuing Education Centre of the First Nations University of Canada.

**Board performance assessment**

***Our board conducts regular performance assessments to ensure*** <br>***effective governance and continuous improvement.***<br>

The board and its committees, as well as the performance of the directors, are assessed on an annual basis. For 2025, the directors engaged in a performance assessment with the lead director and with the chairman, president and chief executive officer, which includes discussion and evaluation of the board and each committee's effectiveness in various areas. The lead director and the chairman, president and chief executive officer also each meet regularly with directors individually to discuss any outstanding issues. The nominations and corporate governance committee discuss a summary of these assessment outcomes in the first quarter of each year.

**Board and committee structure**

***The structure of the company's board and its committees helps the directors to*** <br>***effectively oversee the company's operations and make informed decisions.***<br>

***Leadership structure***

The company has chosen to combine the positions of chairman, president and chief executive officer. The board believes the interests of all shareholders are best served at the present time through a leadership model with a combined chairman and chief executive officer position and an independent lead director selected by and from the independent directors.

Through more than 37 years of experience with ExxonMobil and Imperial, the current chief executive officer possesses an in-depth knowledge of the evolving energy industry supply and demand fundamentals and the array of challenges to be faced by the company. The board believes that the extensive experience and other insights put the chief executive officer in the best position to provide broad leadership for the board as it considers strategy and exercises its fiduciary responsibilities. Further, the board has demonstrated its commitment and ability to provide independent oversight of management. The position description of the chief executive officer is fully described in paragraph 14(a) of the Board of Directors Charter attached as Appendix A.

The board's lead director position further enhances independent board leadership. It is normally expected that the same director will serve as lead director for a minimum of two years. The duties and responsibilities of the lead director include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• act as liaison with the chairman, in consultation with the other directors, (provided however that each director will also be afforded direct and complete access to the chairman at any time as such director deems necessary or appropriate);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• calls, chairs and sets agendas for executive sessions of the independent directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• provides feedback to the chairman;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• chairs meetings of the board in the absence of the chairman;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reviews and approves the schedule and agenda for all board and committee meetings and reviews associated materials distributed to the directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• advises the chairman as to the quality, quantity and timeliness of information flows;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• working together with the chairman, oversees the annual performance evaluation of the board; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• working together with the chair of the executive resources committee, oversees the annual performance review of the chief executive officer.

Compensation for the lead director is determined by the board on the recommendation of the nominations and corporate governance committee and will be reviewed annually. Presently, the board has established the compensation for acting as lead director at $45,000 per year. The position description of the lead director is fully described in paragraph 8 of the Board of Directors Charter attached as Appendix A.

During 2025, D.W. Cornhill acted as lead director until October 1, 2025, when the company's independent directors selected M.C. Hubbs as successor lead director to facilitate an orderly transition in connection with Mr. Cornhill not standing for re-election at the annual meeting of shareholders as a result of reaching the mandatory retirement age for directors.

------

***Independent director executive sessions***

The executive sessions of the board are in camera meetings of the independent directors and are held in conjunction with every board meeting. These meetings are held in the absence of management. The independent directors held nine executive sessions in 2025, chaired by the lead director. The purposes of the executive sessions of the board include the following and are more fully described in paragraph 10 of the Board of Directors Charter attached as Appendix A:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• raising substantive issues that are more appropriately discussed in the absence of management;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• discussing the need to communicate to the chairman of the board any matter of concern raised by any committee or director;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• addressing issues raised but not resolved at meetings of the board and assessing any follow-up needs with the chairman of the board;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• discussing the quality, quantity, and timeliness of the flow of information from management that is necessary for the independent directors to effectively and responsibly perform their duties, and advising the chairman of the board of any changes required; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• seeking feedback about board processes.

***In camera sessions of the board committees***

Various committees also regularly hold in camera sessions without management present. The audit committee regularly holds private sessions of the committee members as well as private meetings of the committee with each of the external auditor, the internal auditor and senior management as part of every regularly scheduled committee meeting.

***Committee structure***

The board has created five standing committees to help carry out its duties. Each committee is chaired by a different independent director and all of the independent directors are members of each committee. N.A. Hansen and T.T. Bryja are also members of the finance committee and safety and sustainability committee, and were formerly members of the executive resources committee and the nominations and corporate governance committee until January 29, 2026. The audit committee and, as of January 29, 2026, the executive resources committee and the nominations and corporate governance committees are composed entirely of independent directors.

![Graphic - Committee Structure (current) (ENGLISH).jpg](imo-20251231_g21.jpg)

Board committees work on key issues in greater detail than would be possible at full board meetings, allowing directors to more effectively discharge their stewardship responsibilities. The independent chairs of the five committees are able to take a leadership role in executing the board's responsibility with respect to a specific area of the company's operations falling within the responsibility of the committee he or she chairs. The board and each committee have a written charter that can be found in Appendix A of this circular. The charters set out the purpose, structure, position description for the chair, and the responsibility and authority of that committee, and are reviewed and approved by the board annually.

In addition to its standing committees, the board may establish ad hoc committees or special committees from time to time.

***Risk oversight***

***The board and its committees are responsible for overseeing the company's risk management***<br>***framework, crucial for ensuring the organization's stability and long-term success.***<br>

The company is governed by a comprehensive risk management system, and the company's success in managing risk over time has been achieved through emphasis on execution of this disciplined management framework.

The company's risk management system includes a process for identifying, prioritizing, measuring, and managing the principal risks across the company, as well as assessing the company's response to these risks. The system is implemented at multiple levels of the business through various policies, guidelines, processes and systems, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• energy outlook scenarios;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• strategic planning;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• risk management guidelines;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• code of ethics and standards of business conduct;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• delegation of authority guidelines;

For a discussion on the company's risk management in relation to executive compensation, see the Compensation discussion and analysis section.

The chairman, president and chief executive officer is charged with identifying the company's principal risks and ensuring appropriate systems are in place to manage these risks. The company incorporates external input in the identification and assessment of risks, including engaging directly with a variety of external stakeholders and communities, including policy makers, investors, customers, regulators, academics, Indigenous peoples, non-governmental organizations and industry associations on issues and opportunities of relevance to the company. These risks included energy transition risks, operational risks, environmental and sustainability risks, and policy risks.

The board of directors is responsible for reviewing the principal risks and overseeing the implementation of the risk management system, with the various committees assisting in risk oversight for issues that fall under their respective responsibility. This integrated risk management approach facilitates recognition and oversight of risk. For example, the audit committee oversees the company's system of internal accounting and financial controls, the executive resources committee oversees the compensation programs and practices in relation to risk management, and the finance committee oversees risk management in connection with capital allocation and expenditures.

The safety and sustainability committee oversees the policies and practices that manage environment, health, safety and security risk, and the nominations and corporate governance committee oversees board structure and composition, as well as the company's corporate governance practices.

The board of directors evaluates climate change risk in the context of overall enterprise risk, including other operational, strategic, and financial risks. Imperial's board is actively engaged and committed to overseeing the company's efforts as it pursues a strategy that is resilient to a wide range of potential pathways for society's energy transition while continuing to grow shareholder value.

------

The board and its committees carry out their risk oversight responsibility through regular reviews and assessments. Topic-specific assessments, such as for compliance programs, controls, stewardship of business performance, regulatory changes, the company's energy outlook, and climate risk and sustainability are conducted regularly and as necessary. The board carefully considers various factors and risks in connection with specific proposals for capital expenditures, budget additions and strategic initiatives, as well as in evaluating strategic plans. Members of the board ask questions of management to ensure risks are identified, assessed, mitigated, and monitored. Each typical year, the board visits one or more of the company's operating sites or locations of importance for the company to better understand issues associated with the company's business.

In the annual planning process, consideration is given to a diverse set of risks and other factors that may influence future energy supply and demand trends, including technological advancements, regulation and government policies, climate change, greenhouse gas restrictions, and other general economic conditions. It also takes into account emerging industry and economic conditions and market and government policy uncertainties in developing its strategic plans and longer-term price views. Further, the board is responsible for ensuring the company's strategic planning process is effective, and in doing so regularly reviews the process, key issues and various alternatives for future strategy development to inform updates. Business plans and strategies are reviewed on an annual basis and approved by the board.

The tables on the following pages provide additional oversight and other information about the board and its five standing committees:

**Director compensation**

***Director compensation discussion and analysis***

***The compensation offered to our nonemployee directors has both a cash and an equity***<br>***component with long vesting periods to attract and retain qualified directors,*** <br>***ensuring long-term alignment with shareholder interests.***<br>

![g259423g61o10 (1).jpg](imo-20251231_g23.jpg)

Nonemployee director compensation levels are reviewed by the nominations and corporate governance committee each year, and resulting recommendations are presented to the full board for approval. The committee reviews benchmark companies data from an independent consultant and relies on an internal assessment to evaluate competitive director compensation. This assessment guides the committee's recommendation and aligns with the company's established compensation design philosophy, objectives and principles, consistent with same methodology used in prior analysis.

Nonemployee directors receive compensation consisting of cash and restricted stock units. Since 1999, the nonemployee directors have been able to receive all or part of their cash directors' fees (including compensation for acting as lead director) in the form of deferred share units. The purpose of the deferred share unit plan for nonemployee directors is to further align their interests with the interests of investors and drive long-term accountability. It fosters sustained improvement in the company's business performance and shareholder value by allowing them to have all or part of their directors' fees tied to the future growth in value of the company's common shares. The deferred share unit plan is described in more detail on page [143](#i922b60c0f0854e23b7e24f84c51e0a9c_15171).

Employees of the company or Exxon Mobil Corporation or its affiliates receive no extra pay for serving as directors.

------

***Compensation decision making process and considerations***

The nominations and corporate governance committee relies on market comparisons with a group of major Canadian companies with national and international scope and complexity. The company draws its nonemployee directors from a wide variety of industrial sectors and, as such, a broad sample is appropriate for this purpose. The nominations and corporate governance committee does not target any specific percentile among comparator companies at which to align compensation for this group.

The comparator companies included in the benchmark sample are:

–Energy: Canadian Natural Resources Limited, Cenovus Energy Inc., Enbridge Inc., Ovintiv Inc., Parkland Fuel Corporation, Suncor Energy Inc., and TC Energy Corporation

–Non-energy: Air Canada, BCE Inc., Canadian National Railway Company, Nutrien Ltd., Royal Bank of Canada, Teck Resources Limited, and TELUS Corporation

***Hedging policy***

Company policy prohibits all employees, including executives, and directors, from being a party to derivative or similar financial instruments, including puts, calls, or other options, future or forward contracts, or equity swaps or collars, with respect to the company or Exxon Mobil Corporation stock.

For a discussion on the process by which the compensation of the company's executive officers is determined, see the Compensation discussion and analysis section starting on page [157](#i2069983a27c948fbac54d446c7cf7036_667).

**Compensation details** 

***Board retainer***

The compensation of the nonemployee directors consists of a cash retainer and a grant of restricted stock units, and is assessed annually. The last adjustment to director compensation was in 2021, when the nominations and corporate governance committee proposed, and the board approved, an increase to the annual grant of restricted stock units from 3,000 to 3,300 while maintaining the annual retainer for board membership at $110,000. In 2024, the role of lead director was created and additional compensation for the director serving in this position was set at $45,000 annually.

In October 2025, the nominations and corporate governance committee recommended and the board approved maintaining the current compensation for non-employee directors. This includes an annual cash retainer of $110,000 and a grant of 3,300 restricted stock units. The additional annual cash retainer for the lead director remains at $45,000.

------

The following table summarizes the compensation terms for the nonemployee directors in 2025:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Director compensation** | **Director compensation** |
| **Annual retainer terms:** | |
| **Cash compensation for all non-employee directors: (a)** | **Cash compensation for all non-employee directors: (a)** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Board membership | $110000  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Committee chair |  |
| **Cash compensation for lead director: (b)** |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Lead director | $45000 |
| **Equity based compensation:** |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Restricted stock units | 3,300 units |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Restricted stock units | (50% vests on each of the 5<sup>th</sup> and 10<sup>th</sup> anniversary dates of the grant) |

---

*(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The nonemployee directors may elect to take all or a portion of the cash compensation in the form of deferred share units. Nonemployee directors who are elected or appointed to the board during the year receive the full restricted stock unit grant and a pro-rated cash retainer based on the appointment or election date.*

*(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The lead director may elect to take all or a portion of the lead director cash compensation in the form of deferred share units.* 

In addition to compensation for board membership and lead director, the board determines the compensation for special committee membership when the committee is established.

***Equity based compensation***

***Deferred share units***

In 1999, an additional form of long-term incentive compensation, deferred share units, was made available to nonemployee directors. These directors may elect to receive all or a portion of their cash compensation in the form of deferred share units.

The following table shows the portion of the retainer each nonemployee director elected to receive in cash and deferred share units in 2025.

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Director** | <br>**Election for 2025 director compensation**<br>**in cash**<br>**(%)** | <br>**Election for 2025 director compensation in**<br>**deferred share units**<br>**(%)** |
| D.W. Cornhill **(a)** | 0 | 100 |
| S.R. Driscoll | 0 | 100 |
| J.N. Floren | 0 | 100 |
| G.J. Goldberg | 0 | 100 |
| M.C. Hubbs **(b)** | 0 | 100 |

---

*(a)In 2025, D.W. Cornhill served as lead director until October 1, 2025, and he has elected to receive both his director fees and the lead director fees applicable to such period in deferred share units.*

*(b)In 2025, M.C. Hubbs served as lead director commencing October 1, 2025, and she has elected to receive both her director fees and the lead director fees applicable to such period in deferred share units.*

------

The number of deferred share units granted to a nonemployee director is determined at the end of each calendar quarter for that year, according to the following calculation:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)the dollar amount of the nonemployee director's fees for that calendar quarter that the director elected to receive as deferred share units; *divided by* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)the average of the closing price of the company's shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange for the five consecutive trading days ("average closing price") immediately prior to the last day of that calendar quarter.

Those deferred share units are granted effective the last day of that calendar quarter.

A nonemployee director is also granted additional deferred share units to represent dividends on unexercised deferred share units. These additional units are granted on the dividend payment dates for the company's common shares, according to the following calculation:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)the cash dividend payable for a common share of the company divided by the average closing price immediately prior to the payment date for that dividend; *multiplied by* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)the number of unexercised deferred share units held by the nonemployee directors on the dividend record date.

Deferred share units cannot be exercised until after termination of service as a director, including termination due to death, and must be exercised in their entirety in one election no later than December 31 of the year following the year of termination of service. On the exercise date, the cash value to be received for the units is determined based on the company's average closing price immediately prior to the date of exercise.

***Restricted stock units***

In addition to the cash fees described above, the company pays a significant portion of director compensation in restricted stock units to align director compensation with the long-term interests of shareholders. The restricted stock unit plan is described in more detail beginning on page [163](#i2069983a27c948fbac54d446c7cf7036_694).

The number of restricted stock units granted annually was increased in 2016 from 2,000 units to 2,600 units, in 2018 to 3,000 units, and in 2021 to 3,300 units. Up until 2015, the vesting period for restricted stock units was 50 percent vesting on the third anniversary of the grant date (received in cash) and the remaining 50 percent vesting on the seventh anniversary of the grant date (with an option to receive in cash or common shares). In 2016, in order to better align the long-term financial interests of the directors with those of the shareholders, the vesting period was increased such that 50 percent vests on the fifth anniversary of the grant date and the remaining 50 percent vests on the tenth anniversary of the grant date. For all the units to be vested, directors may elect to receive one common share for each unit or a cash payment for the units. The vesting periods are not accelerated upon separation or retirement from the board, except in the event of death.

In contrast to the forfeiture provisions for restricted stock units held by employees of the company, the restricted stock units awarded to nonemployee directors are not subject to risk of forfeiture at the time a director leaves the company's board. This provision is designed to reinforce the independence of these board members. However, while on the board and for a 24-month period after leaving the company's board, restricted stock units may be forfeited if the nonemployee director engages in direct competition with the company or otherwise engages in any activity detrimental to the company. The board agreed that the word "detrimental" shall not include any actions taken by a nonemployee director or former nonemployee director who acted in good faith and in the best interest of the company.

Prior to vesting of the restricted stock units, the nonemployee directors receive amounts equivalent to the cash dividends paid to holders of common shares. The amount is determined for each cash dividend payment date by the following calculation:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)the cash dividend payable for a common share; *multiplied by* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)the number of unvested restricted stock units held by the nonemployee directors on the dividend record date.

***Other reimbursement***

Nonemployee directors are also reimbursed for travel and other expenses incurred for attendance at board and committee meetings.

**Share ownership guidelines of independent directors and chairman, president and chief executive officer**

***Share ownership guidelines are established to align interests with those***<br>***of shareholders, thereby promoting the creation of long-term value.***<br>

Independent directors are required to hold the equivalent of at least 16,500 shares of Imperial Oil Limited, including common shares, deferred share units and restricted stock units, within five years from the date of joining the board.

The chairman, president and chief executive officer has separate share ownership requirements and must, within three years of his appointment, acquire shares of the company, including common shares and restricted stock units, of a value of no less than five times his base salary.

The board of directors believes that these share ownership guidelines result in an alignment of the interests of board members with the interests of all other shareholders. As of the date of this circular, the independent directors currently have holdings of 124,096 shares which meets the required guideline.

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Minimum share ownership requirement** | **Time to fulfill** |
| Chairman, president and chief executive officer | 5 x base salary | Within 3 years of appointment |
| Independent directors | 16,500 shares | Within 5 years of initial appointment |

**Ethical business conduct**

***The company is committed to high ethical standards through its policies and practices.***<br>

The company's directors, officers and employees are responsible for developing, approving and implementing plans and actions designed to achieve corporate objectives. In doing so, they are expected to observe the highest standards of integrity in the conduct of the company's business, with the methods employed to attain results being as important as the results themselves.

The board has adopted a written code of ethics and business conduct (the "Code") which can be found on the company's website at **https://www.imperialoil.ca/investors/corporate-governance/ethics-and-standards-of-business-conduct** and on SEDAR+ **at www.sedarplus.ca**, including any applicable amendments. The Code applies to each of the company's directors, officers and employees, and consists of the ethics policy, the conflicts of interest policy, the corporate assets policy, the directorships policy and the procedures and open door communication. No person in the company has the authority to make exceptions or grant waivers with respect to its foundational policies. There have been no material change reports filed in the past 12 months pertaining to conduct of a director or executive officer that constitute a departure from the Code. In addition, the directors of the company must comply with the conflict of interest provisions of the *Canada Business Corporations Act,* as well as the relevant securities regulatory instruments, in order to ensure that the directors exercise independent judgment in considering transactions and agreements in respect of which such director has a material interest.

Under the company's procedures and open door communication, employees are encouraged and expected to refer suspected violations of the law, company policy or internal controls and procedures by various means, including to their supervisors or the company's ethics advisor, controller or internal auditor. Imperial also has an ethics "hotline" that is operated by a third-party service provider and offers confidential, anonymous reporting 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Suspected violations involving a director or executive officer, as well as any concern regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters, are to be referred directly to the internal auditor. The audit committee initially reviews all issues involving directors or executive officers, and then refers all issues to the board of directors. In the alternative, employees may also address concerns to individual nonemployee directors or to nonemployee directors as a group. No action may be taken or threatened against employees for asking questions, voicing concerns, or making complaints or suggestions in good faith.

Management provides the board of directors with a review of corporate ethics and conflicts of interest on an annual basis. The company's internal auditors audit each business line's compliance with the program and report to the audit committee. Directors, officers and employees review the company's standards of business conduct (which includes the Code) on an annual basis, with independent directors and employees being required to sign a declaration confirming that they have read and are familiar with the standards of business conduct. In addition, every two years a business practices review is conducted in which managers review the standards of business conduct with all employees in their respective work units.

The board, through its audit committee, examines the effectiveness of the company's internal control processes and management information systems. The board consults with the external auditor, the internal auditor and the management of the company to ensure the integrity of the systems.

There are a number of structures and processes in place to facilitate the functioning of the board independently of management. The board has a majority of independent directors. Each committee is chaired by a different independent director and all of the independent directors are members of each committee. The audit committee, and as of January 29, 2026, the executive resources committee and the nominations and corporate governance committee, are composed entirely of independent directors. The finance committee and the safety and sustainability committee are composed of the independent directors together with T.T. Bryja and N.A. Hansen. Ms. Bryja and Mr. Hansen are employees of Exxon Mobil Corporation, and although they are deemed non-independent under the relevant standards by virtue of their employment, they are independent of the company's management and are able to enhance the effectiveness of these committees by reflecting the perspective of the company's shareholders.

------

The agendas of each of the board and its committees are not set by management alone, but by the board as a whole and by each committee. A significant number of agenda items are mandatory and recurring. Board meetings are scheduled at least one full year in advance. Any director may call a meeting of the board or a meeting of a committee of which the director is a member. There is a board-prescribed flow of financial, operating and other corporate information to all directors. The board may also utilize ad hoc or special committees when considering various matters.

The independent directors conduct executive sessions in the absence of members of management, which are held in conjunction with every board meeting. Nine executive sessions were held in 2025. The executive sessions of the board are chaired by the lead director.

The company's delegation of authority guide provides that certain matters of the company are reviewed by functional contacts within ExxonMobil. The company's employees are regularly reminded that they are expected to act in the best interests of the company, and are reminded of their obligation to identify any instances where the company's general interest may not be consistent with ExxonMobil's priorities. If such situations occur, employees are expected to escalate such issues with successive levels of the company's management. Final resolution of any such issues is made by the company's chairman, president and chief executive officer.

**Restrictions on insider trading**

***Commitment to stringent safeguards with trading restrictions and reporting for company insiders.***<br>

Structures and processes are in place to caution, track and monitor reporting insiders, nonemployee directors and key employees with access to sensitive information with respect to personal trading in the company's shares. The company's Code of Ethics and its Insider Trading and Blackout Guidelines prohibit all directors, officers and employees of the company, as well as the company itself, from securities transactions (including transactions involving the purchase, sale and/or other disposition of the company's shares or securities of other issuers) based on material, non-public information learned through their positions with the company. The company believes that this policy is reasonably designed to promote compliance with applicable insider trading laws, rules and regulations. The company also has guidelines regarding processes and procedures relating to corporate disclosure, insider trading, and trading bans that are applicable to all directors, officers and employees.

Nonemployee directors are required to pre-clear any trades in the company's shares. Reporting insiders are required to give advance notice to the company of any sale of the company's shares and advise the company within five days of any purchase of the company's shares. Reporting insiders are required, under securities regulations, to publicly disclose all transactions in the company's shares on the System for Electronic Disclosure by Insiders (SEDI).

From time to time, the company advises its directors and officers, and those of Exxon Mobil Corporation, and employees in certain positions, not to trade in the company's shares. Trading bans occur in connection with the directors' pending consideration of the financial statements of the company, including the unaudited financial statements for each quarter, and in connection with undisclosed pending events that constitute material information about the business affairs of the company.

------

**Diversity**

***The company has a long history of valuing diversity on the board and in its executive management.***<br>

***Board diversity***

The company has a longstanding commitment to diversity amongst its directors. Imperial has had at least one woman on its board continuously since 1977, and 38 percent of the current board members are women. Among the nominees for director, women comprise 43 percent of the nominees and 50 percent of the nominated independent directors.

The company does not have a formal written policy relating to the identification and nomination of directors who are women, Aboriginal peoples, persons with disabilities or members of visible minorities (the "designated groups", as defined under the *Employment Equity Act* (Canada))*,* and has not adopted a target regarding members of the designated groups on its board. With the objective of fostering a diversity of expertise, viewpoint and competencies, the board charter provides that the nominations and corporate governance committee may consider a number of factors, including gender and membership in other designated groups, in assessing potential nominees.

The nominations and corporate governance committee assesses the work experience, other expertise, individual competencies and diversity of age, regional association and the designated groups that each existing director possesses and whether each nominee is able to fill any gaps amongst the existing directors. Additionally, the committee may consider any other factors that it believes to be relevant. The company does not believe that any one of these dimensions should be considered in isolation and without due regard to all of the other factors, in determining the ability of potential directors to contribute to the work of the board of directors.

The board considers diversity through the annual nomination process, board assessment and other discussions. The board and the nominations and corporate governance committee also specifically consider diversity through targeted director recruitment processes.

As of the date of this proxy circular, the number and percentage of directors and nominees who are members of the designated groups are:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Designated group (a)** | **Number** | **Percent**<br>**(%)** |
| Women | 3 of 8 (current board)<br>3 of 7 (nominees) | 38<br>43 |
| Women | 2 of 5 (current independent directors)<br>2 of 4 (nominated independent directors) | 40<br>50 |
| Aboriginal peoples | 0 (board and nominees) | 0 |
| Persons with disabilities | 0 (board and nominees) | 0 |
| Members of visible minorities | 0 (board and nominees) | 0 |

---

*(a)Defined under the Employment Equity Act (Canada)* 

The above diversity disclosure relies on voluntary self-identification by directors and nominees, and therefore only represents the information of individuals who have chosen to self-identify. The information has not been independently verified by the company. The board nominee composition charts on page [121](#i2069983a27c948fbac54d446c7cf7036_595) show the diversity of our board nominees with respect to gender, experience and regional association, but do not reflect membership in other designated groups.

------

***Executive officer diversity***

The company believes inclusion and diversity are key competitive strengths that are critical to maintaining the company's position as an industry leader. To ensure commitment at all levels of the company, inclusion and diversity, anti-harassment and equal employment opportunity performance is stewarded annually to the company's senior management. There is an in-depth succession planning process, which includes the consideration of various aspects of diversity, as well as plans to address gaps, if any, for key positions.

The company's internal training programs emphasize the value of collaboration, appreciating differences and sustaining an inclusive work environment, keeping inclusion and diversity top-of-mind with all employees. Imperial also values external perspective and expertise. The company supports educational development and recruiting practices that facilitate the employment of Indigenous peoples, and holds Silver Certification in the Partnership Accreditation in Indigenous Relations (PAIR) program managed by the Canadian Council for Indigenous Business. Imperial maintains a supportive work environment through a range of development and networking programs, including employee-led diversity networks that are focused on common interests. These programs are conducted in both virtual and in-person formats to reach a broad range of employees.

In considering potential nominees for executive officer appointments, the executive resources committee considers diversity of gender and the other designated groups, work experience, other expertise, individual competencies and other dimensions of diversity. The company has not adopted a target regarding members of the designated groups in executive officer positions. The company does not believe that any one of these dimensions should be considered, without due regard to all of these other factors, in determining the ability of potential nominees to fill executive officers positions.

As of the date of this proxy circular, the number and percentage of executive officers of the company and its major subsidiaries who are members of the designated groups are:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Designated group (a)** | **Number** | **Percent**<br>**(%)** |
| Women | 7 of 22 | 32 |
| Aboriginal peoples | 0 of 22 | 0 |
| Persons with disabilities | 0 of 22 | 0 |
| Members of visible minorities | 3 of 22 | 14 |

---

*(a)Defined under the Employment Equity Act (Canada)* 

The above diversity disclosure relies on voluntary self-identification by executive officers, and therefore only represents the information of individuals who have chosen to self-identify. The information has not been independently verified by the company.

**Shareholder engagement**

 ***Shareholder engagement strategy focuses on wide-ranging dialogue between shareholders and management.***<br>

Understanding investor interests and concerns and obtaining their feedback is central to the company's shareholder engagement program. This critical input not only informs how the company interacts and communicates, but also helps identify what areas require additional focus to demonstrate ongoing progress and performance.

The company's senior management regularly meet with institutional investors and shareholders through industry conferences, roadshows and company hosted investor events. In 2025, these events were largely held as in-person engagements. Pertinent materials from these hosted events are available on the company's website.

------

The company also hosts regular quarterly earnings calls in connection with earnings releases, and archives of these calls (including transcripts) are available on the company's website for one year after each call. These calls allow the company to provide more insight and context regarding the company's performance, as well as directly address questions from the investment community.

The company took a number of steps to ensure active engagement through the annual meeting that was held in a virtual only format. Shareholders had the opportunity to attend and ask questions in real time (either personally or by appointing a proxyholder), and the company encouraged engagement from shareholders prior to the event. This format allowed shareholders to attend the meeting, ask questions and provide direct feedback to management, when they may not otherwise have been able to attend in person. The webcast and presentation materials from the annual general meeting, along with the outcome of the voting on each resolution, are available on the company's website for one year.

The company annually solicits questions and comments from shareholders through the annual meeting of shareholders. The comments received are reviewed by senior management providing them with an indication of areas of interest to our shareholders, and those requiring a response are answered individually. In addition, the company's Investor Relations team responds to shareholder queries throughout the year, and proactively reaches out to shareholders to obtain their views on matters identified broadly by shareholders, including with respect to environment, social and governance topics, as well as optimal engagement approaches. In 2025, shareholder engagement and discussion involved a broad range of topics including capital allocation strategy, corporate guidance and operational performance, company growth plans, emission reduction plans and the Pathways Alliance, the regulatory and geopolitical environment (including tariffs and other trade-related actions, and changes in the Canadian federal government and its approach towards the Alberta oil and gas industry), and the company's corporate strategy including strategy with respect to the energy transition and the announced restructuring to centralize additional corporate and technical activities in global capability centres. Investor perspectives were a factor considered in decision making, and investor feedback was incorporated into company disclosure improvement efforts.

**Largest shareholders**

 ***Exxon Mobil Corporation is the majority shareholder of the company, holding 69.6% of the company's shares.***<br>

Exxon Mobil Corporation, 22777 Springwoods Village Parkway, Spring, Texas, 77389-1425, owns beneficially 336,580,182 common shares, representing approximately 69.6 percent of the outstanding shares of the company. As a consequence, the company is a "controlled company" for purposes of the listing standards of the NYSE American LLC and a "majority controlled company" for purposes of the TSX Company Manual.

To the knowledge of the directors and executive officers of the company, no other person owns beneficially, or exercises control or direction over, directly or indirectly, more than ten percent of the outstanding common shares of the company, except as is described herein. Based solely on the Schedule 13G/A filed jointly by FMR LLC and Abigail P. Johnson with the SEC on February 5, 2026, as of December 31, 2025, (i) FMR LLC and Abigail P. Johnson (245 Summer Street, Boston, Massachusetts, 02210) each have beneficial ownership of the same 56,093,577 of the company's common shares (representing approximately 11.6% of the outstanding shares of the company), which shares are owned by FMR LLC, certain of its subsidiaries and affiliates, and other companies, (ii) FMR LLC has sole voting power with respect to 42,615,029 of those shares, and (iii) FMR LLC and Abigail P. Johnson each have sole dispositive power with respect to all such shares. The company has no reason to believe that the information provided in such Schedule 13G/A is incomplete or inaccurate or that the beneficial owner should have filed an amended report and did not.

------

**Transactions with Exxon Mobil Corporation**

The company has written procedures and controls that require any transactions between the company and ExxonMobil and its subsidiaries to be reviewed by controllers, tax, treasurers and legal to ensure that each agreement meets the company's policies and procedures, is fair, and complies with legal and tax requirements. These agreements may also be subject to review by the chairman, president, and chief executive officer. Annual training is provided for key individuals to ensure awareness of the requirements for identifying related party transactions, and procedures are in place to ensure reporting of these transactions is complete and accurate. Related party transactions with ExxonMobil and its subsidiaries are analyzed and reviewed by management on a quarterly basis to understand any significant variances from period to period, and reviewed with the board of directors on an annual basis.

In 2025, the company announced plans to further improve its industry-leading performance by centralizing additional corporate and technical activities in global business and technology centres, leveraging its relationship with ExxonMobil to realize substantial efficiency and effectiveness benefits from scale, integration and technology. Recognizing that this restructuring will result in increased sourcing of services from ExxonMobil, the company, under the oversight of its board of directors, has implemented additional procedures and controls to oversee the provision of such services.

On June 23, 2025, the company implemented a new 12-month "normal course issuer bid" share purchase program, allowing the company to purchase up to a maximum of 25,452,248 shares during the period June 29, 2025 to June 28, 2026. The program ended on December 17, 2025 upon the company purchasing the maximum allowable number of shares, with 7,737,502 common shares purchased on the open market and a corresponding 17,714,746 common shares purchased from ExxonMobil to maintain its shareholding at approximately 69.6 percent.

The amounts of purchases and revenues by the company and its subsidiaries for other transactions in 2025 with ExxonMobil and its affiliates were $5,227 million and $13,534 million, respectively. These transactions were conducted on terms as favourable as they would have been with unrelated parties, and primarily consisted of the purchase and sale of crude oil, natural gas, petroleum and chemical products, as well as technical, engineering and research and development costs. Transactions with ExxonMobil also included amounts paid and received in connection with the company's participation in a number of upstream activities conducted jointly in Canada. In addition, the company has existing agreements with affiliates of ExxonMobil to provide information technology and customer support services to the company and to share common business and operational support services to allow the companies to consolidate duplicate work and systems. The company has a contractual agreement with an affiliate of ExxonMobil in Canada to operate certain western Canada production properties owned by ExxonMobil. There are no asset ownership changes. The company and that affiliate also have a contractual agreement to provide for equal participation in new upstream opportunities.

As at December 31, 2025, the company had an outstanding loan of $3,447 million under an existing agreement with an affiliated company of ExxonMobil that provides for a long term, variable rate loan from ExxonMobil to the company of up to $7.75 billion (Canadian) at market interest rates. The agreement is effective until June 30, 2035, cancellable if ExxonMobil provides at least 370 days advance written notice.

**Executive summary**

**Letter to shareholders**

Fellow shareholders:

The executive resources committee ("committee") supports the design and resulting pay outcomes of Imperial's executive compensation program. We believe that it aligns well with the company's business model and considers the complexity of the business environment in which the company operates, requiring executives to maintain a long-term view when making decisions. Executive performance is evaluated across multiple performance dimensions within the context of the company's long-term strategy. The executive compensation program design reflects this and has proven to be adaptable to evolving strategic priorities, supporting the goal of maximizing long-term shareholder value.

***Business perspective***

In 2025, Imperial delivered strong business results across a wide range of performance dimensions. Our strong financial performance and ability to return significant cash to shareholders was, once again, underpinned by exceptional operations, demonstrated by record liquids production and strong refinery utilization and reliability.

Additionally, our strategic initiatives to further strengthen our efficiency and effectiveness position the company for long-term success. For more information on the 2025 key business results see page [167](#i2069983a27c948fbac54d446c7cf7036_709).

Lastly, our thorough talent management process contributed to a smooth transition of the Chairman, President & Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") role from Brad W. Corson to John R. Whelan in May 2025.

***Committee report***The committee exercises oversight of a compensation program that aligns executives' pay with the results of their decisions and the returns of our shareholders over the long term. The program design is aligned with the core elements of the majority shareholder's compensation program, designed to drive long-term accountability, reward outstanding performance, and is fully aligned with our talent management approach.

The compensation discussion and analysis ("CD&A") section that follows describes the compensation program for the company's named executive officers and how the program supports the business goals of the company.

The evolution of pay during 2023 through 2025 demonstrates the strength of our compensation program design: highly performance based, share-denominated, tied to business and individual performance, resulting in greater degree of volatility versus benchmark company programs and better aligned with the experience of our long-term shareholders.

The committee has reviewed and discussed the CD&A with management of the company. Based on that review and discussion, the committee has recommended to the board that the CD&A be included in the company's management proxy circular for the 2026 annual meeting of shareholders and annual report on Form 10-K. On behalf of the committee, I encourage you to read the comprehensive disclosure in the CD&A that follows. We are committed to overseeing all aspects of the executive compensation program in the best interests of the company and all shareholders.

**Compensation design**

**Approach to executive compensation**

The decisions that our executives make and the risks they manage play out over multi-year time horizons. Executives are required to carefully consider current and future risks, such as those related to the energy transition, and to make decisions across a broad range of business environments that generate sustainable shareholder value over the long term.

The company's executive compensation program design is aligned with the core elements of the majority shareholder's compensation program, designed to drive long-term accountability and reward outstanding performance, and is fully integrated with our approach to talent management. The program aligns executives' pay with the results of their decisions and shareholder returns over the long term.

***Drive long-term accountability***

The company's strategic objectives have been established to drive sustainable value while positioning the company for long-term success in a lower-emissions future. These objectives are translated into annual plan goals through a comprehensive process which incorporates corporate and functional plans. Goals are incorporated in the corporate plan, which is reviewed and approved by the board and provides the framework for the company's commitments.

***Reward outstanding performance***

Highly differentiated pay-for-performance is foundational to the company's compensation program design. The extent to which executives achieve pre-established goals and deliver on the organization's commitments, assessed over near- and long-term horizons, is a key differentiating factor in executives' pay deliberations. Performance evaluation directly impacts level of base salary, bonus, and long-term incentive awards.

***Integrated approach to talent management***

Our talent management approach is fully integrated across the entire employee lifecycle – from attracting and developing talent to engaging and retaining exceptional people. Our approach aligns with the majority shareholder's development and staffing processes providing access to global best practices and development opportunities for Imperial employees.

Our long-term orientation underpins how the company develops talent. It begins with recruiting the right talent, and continues with individually planned experiences and training, which leads to broad development and a deep understanding of our business across the business cycle. Our approach is enabled by our core values and our culture – driving expected behaviours, shared ownership, and desired outcomes.

Compensation is a key element of this integrated talent approach. It is designed to attract and retain talent for a career through compensation that is market competitive, highly differentiated by individual performance, and promotes retention through long restriction periods.

**Supported by strong governance practices**

Key design features that discourage executives from taking inappropriate risk include:

**Accountability and performance**The executive compensation program design is aligned with our business model and approach to talent development - long-term career oriented, performance differentiated, and adaptable to evolving strategic priorities through goal setting.

***Strategic objectives***The company's long-term strategic objectives center around four key interdependent performance dimensions, reflective of the company's priority focus areas. These objectives are fully integrated into the company's plan and provide the framework for the organization to deliver on its commitments.

The strategic objectives have been established to drive sustainable growth in shareholder value while also positioning the company for long-term success in a lower-emissions future.

| Energy transition | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Reduce GHG emissions intensity at our operated assets and in hard-to-decarbonize sectors |
| Business portfolio | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Optimize existing business portfolio, develop new opportunities aligned with competitive advantages |

---

***Plan goals***The company's long-term strategic objectives are translated into annual plan goals through a comprehensive process that incorporates corporate and functional plans. Plan goals are approved annually by the board.

A disciplined approach to establishing goals aligns executives to deliver on the company's strategic objectives.

------

***Performance evaluation***

The company's approach to performance evaluation is aligned with the core elements of the majority shareholder's program, including executive performance evaluation, which is designed to drive long-term accountability and reward outstanding performance. Our program benefits from leveraging core performance principles with the majority shareholder, enabling access to global best practices.

The company's long-term success depends on achieving all four interdependent strategic objectives, which are equally weighted by the committee. Progress towards delivering the company's business results and driving strategic objectives is discussed throughout the year in various board and committee reviews.

Recognizing the complexity and significant uncertainty of the energy transition, the committee focuses on balancing the energy transition objectives with meeting society's need for affordable energy and essential products that improve living standards worldwide.

The committee does not use quantitative targets or formulas to assess individual performance or determine compensation. Formula-based performance assessments and compensation typically require emphasis on two or three business metrics. For the company to be an industry leader and effectively manage the technical complexity and integrated scope of its operations, senior executives must advance multiple strategies and objectives in parallel, versus emphasizing one or two at the expense of others that require equal attention.

Results of the annual performance evaluation inform all levels of compensation, including salary, bonus, and restricted stock unit award. Details on pay deliberations can be found on page [169](#i2069983a27c948fbac54d446c7cf7036_715).

Relevant business performance measures include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Safety, health, and environmental performance;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Risk management;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Total shareholder return;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Net income;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Return on average capital employed<sup>1</sup>;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Cash flow from operations and asset sales<sup>1</sup>;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Operating performance of the upstream, downstream, and chemical businesses; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Progress on advancing long-term strategic interests.

***Chief executive officer***

The committee evaluates the CEO's performance throughout the year across all performance dimensions within the context of the company's long-term strategy and evaluates progress against plan goals and objectives, which are reflective of the company's strategic objectives. Financial and operating metrics are assessed over near- and long-term time horizons, considering the broader business environment. The committee's evaluation further supports the CEO's performance assessment.

***Executive officers***

The CEO reviews the performance of all other executive officers, who are responsible to deliver the company's business results and drive the strategic objectives, with the committee during the annual executive development review. Performance is evaluated based on accomplishments versus plan goals and objectives, with demonstrated leadership in sustaining sound business controls and a strong ethical and corporate governance environment.

The committee engages with executive officers throughout the year during specific reviews and board meetings.

***Leaders are held accountable to deliver and are assessed across all performance***<br>***dimensions, balancing short- and long-term priorities***<br>

------

**Long-term award program**

***Through long restriction periods, Imperial executives are incentivized to take a long-term view in decision making.***<br>

Restricted stock units ("RSUs") represent over 50 percent of total direct compensation<sup>1</sup>, and are intended to link executive pay to the returns of long-term shareholders and encourage a long-term view through the commodity price cycle.

Restricted stock units granted to the CEO vest 50 percent in 5 years and 50 percent in 10 years. Restricted stock units granted to all other executives vest 50 percent in 3 years and 50 percent in 7 years.

---

***Long restriction periods in line with investment lead times and risk profile***

• In a capital-intensive industry like ours, investment and risk decisions unfold over decades and through volatile commodity price cycles, requiring executives to maintain a long-term view when making decisions.

• Long restriction periods ensure that a significant portion of pay reflects the outcome of these decisions. Executives hold shares across dynamic market conditions, aligning with the experience of long-term shareholders.

• A formula-based program would require shorter timeframes to set credible targets, leading to quicker vesting and faster pay realization. This could encourage short-term decision making, misaligned with our long investment cycles and capital-intensive operations.

• The example below shows the net cash flow of a typical Imperial project alongside the restricted stock program design for the Imperial CEO. It illustrates that short-term vesting would occur before a project's financial outcome is known, whereas longer-term vesting better aligns with shareholder returns driven by investment decisions.

***Share-denominated basis aligns award values with shareholder outcomes***

• Uniquely long restriction periods result in a need to apply performance metrics at grant, versus at vest.

• Restricted stock award grant levels are established based on pay grade and individual performance.

• Share grants are not adjusted to offset changes in share price, which results in executives seeing a one-for-one change in compensation through share price.

• A share-denominated approach<sup>1</sup> coupled with long restriction periods defines the risk/reward profile of stock-based performance awards and results in a greater degree of volatility versus formula-based programs with a dollar-denominated approach.<sup>1</sup>

***2025 decisions***

• As in prior years, and as a matter of principle, share grants were not adjusted to offset changes in the share price, thus maintaining strong alignment in the experience of our executives and our long-term shareholders.

• Long-term award value up, reflective of strong stock price, $131.32 at 2025 grant versus $100.29 in 2024, and $77.12 in 2023.

***Stock ownership***<sup>1</sup>

• The chairman, president and chief executive officer must, within three years of appointment, acquire shares of the company, including common shares and restricted stock units, of a value no less than five times base salary. J.R. Whelan's 2025 stock ownership, as shown on page [148](#i2069983a27c948fbac54d446c7cf7036_637), exceeds the minimum requirement.

• Long restriction periods result in stock ownership far exceeding ownership guidelines typical among other companies across industries. This aligns the interests of our executives with those of long-term shareholders and ensures focus on actions that create sustainable shareholder value over the long term.

• At retirement, outstanding shares will continue to vest over a 7- to 10- year period after grant date, with no accelerated vesting at retirement.

Exxon Mobil Corporation has a plan similar to the company's restricted stock unit plan, under which grantees may receive restricted stock units, referred to herein as Exxon Mobil Corporation restricted stock. J.R. Whelan holds Exxon Mobil Corporation restricted stock granted from 2020 to 2024, as well as Imperial restricted stock units granted in 2019 and 2025. B.W. Corson holds Exxon Mobil Corporation restricted stock granted in 2018 and previous years, as well as Imperial restricted stock units granted from 2019 to 2024. D.E. Lyons holds Imperial restricted stock units granted since 2019, and no longer holds any outstanding Exxon Mobil Corporation restricted stock units. C.L. Gomez-Smith holds Exxon Mobil Corporation restricted stock granted in 2023 and previous years, as well as Imperial restricted stock units granted in 2024 and 2025.

------

**Bonus program**

Annual bonus program represents **10 to 20 percent** of total direct compensation<sup>1</sup>, and is intended to link executive pay to annual earnings performance.

***Program design***

• The overall size of the bonus program is determined annually, taking into consideration:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the linkage to the majority shareholder's bonus program given the company's working interest is included in Exxon Mobil Corporation earnings;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• input from the chairman, president and chief executive officer on performance of the company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• annual net income of the company; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the cyclical nature and long-term orientation of the business.

• A bonus award matrix is used to determine individual award levels based on pay grade and individual performance.

• Tie to year-over-year change in earnings coupled with individual performance defines the risk/reward profile of the bonus program and results in greater degree of volatility versus market practice, aligned with our approach to executive compensation as discussed on page [159](#i2069983a27c948fbac54d446c7cf7036_679).

• Bonus delivered in cash in year of grant.

• Full bonus award subject to clawback, see page [172](#i2069983a27c948fbac54d446c7cf7036_736).

***2025 decisions***

• 2025 bonus program was approved at a lower level than 2024, reflective of year-over-year change in earnings performance.

• Individual awards for named executive officers further reflect individual performance.

**Salary program**

Base salary represents **10 to 30 percent** of total direct compensation<sup>1</sup>, and is intended to provide competitive base pay and directly affect the level of retirement benefits, as salary is included in benefit formulas.

The overall size of the program is determined by annual benchmarking. Individual salary increases are the result of individual performance, experience, and pay grade.

***2025 decisions***

• The committee approved 2026 salary increases for named executive officers consistent with the salary program for all executives.

• Individual salary treatments take into account individual performance, level of responsibility and experience, and reflect market analysis and competitiveness at the time of the decision in 2025.

**Determining compensation**

**Annual benchmarking**

***Annual benchmarking process to assess market competitiveness of executive pay and program design.***

***Compensation benchmarking***

In addition to the assessment of business and individual performance, benchmarking is completed against a select group of major Canadian companies on an annual basis.

Criteria for selecting compensation benchmark companies<sup>1</sup> include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Canadian companies or Canadian affiliates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• large operating scope and complexity;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• capital intensive; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• proven sustainability over time.

***Pay orientation***

Pay levels are determined based on a broad range around the median of compensation benchmark companies. This provides the ability to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• differentiate compensation based on experience and performance levels among executives;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• minimize the potential for automatic ratcheting-up of compensation that could occur within a narrow target among benchmark companies; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• respond to changing business conditions.

The core elements of Exxon Mobil Corporation compensation program applies to J.R. Whelan, B.W. Corson, D.E. Lyons, and C.L. Gomez-Smith, including salary, annual bonus, and restricted stock units.

**Performance graph**

The following graph shows changes over the past 5 years in the value of $100 invested in (i) Imperial Oil Limited common shares, (ii) the S&P/TSX Composite Index, and (iii) the S&P/TSX Composite Energy Index. The S&P/TSX Composite Energy Index is currently comprised of share performance data for 38 oil and gas companies including integrated oil companies, oil and gas producers, and oil and gas service companies.

The year-end values in the graph represent appreciation in share price and the value of dividends executed and reinvested. The calculations exclude trading commissions and taxes. Total shareholder returns<sup>1</sup> from each investment, whether measured in dollars or percent, can be calculated from the year-end investment values shown beneath the graph.

During the past 5 years, the company's cumulative total shareholder return<sup>1</sup> was 458 percent, for an average annual return of 41 percent. Total direct compensation<sup>1</sup> for named executive officers generally reflects the trend in total shareholder returns as the largest single component of executive compensation is awarded in the form of restricted stock units with long holding periods. This design reinforces the long-term linkage between executive compensation and the shareholding net worth of executives to the return on the company's stock realized by shareholders.

**2025 compensation actions**

***Chief executive officer***In connection with B.W. Corson's announcement of his intention to retire, J.R. Whelan was appointed as president of the company on April 1, 2025, and assumed the additional roles of chairman and chief executive officer effective at the conclusion of the annual meeting of shareholders on May 8, 2025. Mr. Whelan is responsible for executing the company's long-term strategic objectives while progressing plan goals in support of these objectives.

In 2025, the company delivered strong business results across a wide range of performance dimensions as outlined on pages [162](#i2069983a27c948fbac54d446c7cf7036_691), [167](#i2069983a27c948fbac54d446c7cf7036_709) and [168](#i2069983a27c948fbac54d446c7cf7036_712).

Under Mr. Whelan's leadership, the company maintained its commitment to advantaged long-term investments and strong operational performance. This continues to position the company well to capture upside opportunities and provides flexibility to consider further investments as the opportunity pipeline matures, technology advances, and markets and policies evolve.

In acknowledgement of Mr. Whelan's achievements, the committee awarded total direct compensation of $14.38 million CAD. Consistent with our compensation philosophy, a significant portion was delivered through restricted stock units with 5- and 10-year vesting periods, longer than those applied by most companies. The purpose of these long vesting periods is to reinforce the long investment lead times in the business and to link a substantial portion of Mr. Whelan's shareholding net worth to the performance of the company. As such, the realized value of the long-term incentive grants may differ from the amounts shown in the summary compensation table, depending on company performance at time of future vesting. During these vesting periods, the awards remain at risk of forfeiture even after retirement.

In 2025, Mr. Whelan's salary<sup>1</sup> was $503,595 CAD (from April to December) and the committee approved an annual bonus<sup>1</sup> of $1.34 million CAD ($962,400 USD), based on his individual performance, experience and pay grade. Mr. Whelan's 2025 long-term incentive award of 95,400 restricted stock units was granted in the form of Imperial restricted stock units, not Exxon Mobil Corporation restricted stock, to reinforce alignment of his interests with that of the company's shareholders.

***Other named executive officers***

Within the context of the compensation program structure and performance assessment processes previously described, the value of 2025 incentive awards and salary adjustments align with:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Performance of the company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Individual performance and pay grade;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Long-term strategic plan of the business; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Annual compensation of comparator companies.

Taking all factors into consideration, the committee's decisions on pay awarded to other named executive officers reflect judgment, rather than the application of formulas or targets. The committee approved the individual elements of compensation and the total compensation as shown in the summary compensation table on page [176](#i2069983a27c948fbac54d446c7cf7036_745).

**Other compensation elements**

**Retirement plans**

The company's approach to talent development stems from the need to develop future leaders broadly and deeply given the complexity and long-term nature of the business. Retirement plans support the company's talent management approach and are designed to attract and retain talent for a career. Retirement plans include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A company savings plan that is attractive to new hires who can begin building an account balance immediately upon achieving eligibility; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Defined benefit plans, such as the company's pension plan, that help retain mid- and late-career employees until retirement eligibility. These are viewed as the primary vehicle for retirement planning.

Named executive officers participate in the same savings and pension plan, including supplemental pension arrangements outside the registered plan, as other employees. J.R. Whelan, B.W. Corson, D.E. Lyons, and C.L. Gomez-Smith participate in Exxon Mobil Corporation or respective affiliates' pension plans.

Below are brief descriptions of the company's plans. See the Pension Benefits section on page [182](#i2069983a27c948fbac54d446c7cf7036_766) for more details.

**Award vesting and share utilization**

The number of common shares of the company issuable under the plan to any insiders (as defined by the Toronto Stock Exchange) cannot exceed 10 percent of the issued and outstanding common shares, whether at any time, or as issued in any one year.

The company's directors and officers as a group hold approximately 20 percent of the unvested restricted stock units that give the recipient the right to receive common shares that represent about 0.07 percent of the company's outstanding common shares. Currently, the maximum number of common shares that any one person may receive from the vesting of restricted stock units is 86,900 common shares, which is about 0.02 percent of the outstanding common shares.

Upon vesting, each restricted stock unit entitles the recipient the right to receive an amount equal to the value of one common share of the company, based on the five-day average closing price of the company's shares on the vesting date and the four preceding trading days. Units that vest on the third anniversary of the grant date vest as a cash payment. Units that vest on the fifth, seventh, or tenth anniversary of the grant date vest as a cash payment, except that for units granted to Canadian residents, the recipient may receive one common share per unit or elect to receive a cash payment for the units. During the restricted period, the recipient will also receive cash payments equivalent to the cash dividends paid to holders of regular common stock.

Consistent with the program documentation, the board of directors may amend the plan without shareholder approval for RSUs previously issued or to be issued in the future, unless the amendment is with respect to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Increasing the shares served for issuance;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Increasing the vesting price;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Extending eligibility to participate in the plan to persons not included in the plan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Extending the right of a grantee to transfer or assign RSUs; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adjusting the vesting date for any RSUs previously granted.

In the case of any subdivision, consolidation, or reclassification of the shares of the company or other relevant change in the capitalization of the company, the company, at its discretion, may make appropriate adjustments in the number of common shares to be issued and the calculation of the cash amount payable per restricted stock unit.

**Granting practices**

The committee grants annual incentive awards to the company's executive officers at its regular November meeting. Incentive awards are granted to other eligible employees within the parameters of the bonus and restricted stock award ceilings approved by the committee.

The company's compensation program does not include granting stock options. No stock options have been granted since 2002 and there are no plans to make such grants in the future.

**Amendments**

In 2020, the restricted stock unit plan was amended to update provisions regarding the vesting periods for the units granted in 2020 and onwards to the chairman, president and chief executive officer such that 50 percent of restricted stock units vest on the fifth anniversary and remaining 50 percent on the tenth anniversary. For awards granted prior to 2020, the vesting of the tenth anniversary portion of the award is the later of 10 years or retirement.

As a result of an employee stock program expansion implemented in 2022, the restricted stock unit plan was amended to include an additional vesting schedule, in which some non-executive participants will be eligible for awards granted that vest 100 percent after 3 years.

**Risk and governance**

***Compensation program underpinned by strong governance practices that discourage inappropriate risk taking.***<br>

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Executive stock ownership** | • Long holding periods on RSUs result in executives maintaining significant stock ownership during employment and for 7 years into retirement, with a longer holding period for the chairman, president and chief executive officer up to 10 years into retirement. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Significant pay at risk** | • Uniquely long restriction periods on RSUs substantially increase the percentage of career compensation at risk well into retirement.<br>• Unvested RSUs cannot be used as collateral for any purpose and cannot be assigned. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Strong forfeiture provisions** | • Unvested RSUs are at risk of forfeiture in the event of resignation, termination of employment, early retirement and/or detrimental activity, even if such detrimental activity occurs or is discovered after retirement.<br>• In the event of retirement prior to age 65 but after eligibility for early retirement (i.e., at least 55 years of age with at least 10 years of service), the committee, in the case of an executive officer, must approve the retention of awards. Forfeiture provisions remain in place until an award has vested, including those that vest post retirement.  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Clawback policies** | • In the event of a material negative restatement of the company's reported financial or operating results, the Board is authorized to take actions it deems necessary and appropriate, including the recoupment (clawback) of any bonus paid to an executive officer. <br>• Policies reflect the company's high ethical standards and strict compliance with accounting and other regulations applicable to public companies, including compliance with Rule 10D-1 of the *US Securities Exchange Act of 1934*.  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Anti-hedging/derivative policy** | • Company policy prohibits all employees, including executives, and directors, from being a party to a derivative or similar financial instrument, including puts, calls, or other options, future or forward contracts, or equity swaps or collars, with respect to the company or Exxon Mobil Corporation stock.  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Annual assessment of compensation design** | • The committee reviews the effectiveness and competitiveness of the compensation program design annually, and approves annual compensation recommendations for each named executive officer prior to implementation.<br>• The committee is responsible for overseeing the compensation program and practices that are designed to encourage appropriate risk assessment and risk management. For further discussion on the company's risk management system and oversight, see "Risk oversight" on page [134](#i8dca6fac267340ec8bb8ebad325497c3_15627). |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Independent compensation consultant** | • In 2025, the committee did not retain an independent consultant or advisor in determining compensation for any of the company's officers or any other senior executives. <br>• The company's management retained an independent consultant to provide an assessment of competitive compensation and market data for all salaried levels of employees in the company. While providing this data, they did not provide individual compensation recommendations or advice for the compensation of the chairman, president, and chief executive officer or other senior executives.  |

---

------

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**No severance agreements** | • The company does not have written employment contracts or any other agreement with its named executive officers providing for payments on change in control or termination of employment. <br>• Eliminates any real or perceived "safety net" with respect to job security and increases the risk and consequences to the individual for performance that does not meet the highest standards. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**No change in control arrangements** | • The company does not have written employment contracts or any other agreement with its named executive officers providing for payments on change in control or termination of employment. <br>• Eliminates any real or perceived "safety net" with respect to job security and increases the risk and consequences to the individual for performance that does not meet the highest standards. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**No guaranteed bonuses** | • Bonus remains at risk, subject to year-on-year change in performance.<br>• Demonstrated by bonus program suspension in 2020; no award granted. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**No additional stock grants to balance losses in value** | • The committee sets the size of the restricted stock unit program and does **not** offset a loss or gain in the value of prior restricted stock units by the value of current-year grants.<br>• Such a practice would minimize the risk/reward profile of stock-based awards and undermine the long-term view that executives are expected to adopt. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**No accelerated vesting at retirement** | • RSUs are not subject to acceleration, not even at retirement, except in the case of death.<br>• Unvested RSUs cannot be used as collateral for any purpose. |

**Definitions and frequently used terms**

Please also refer to the "Frequently used terms" section of the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional definitions and reconciliation of Non-GAAP financial measures.

**Compensation benchmark companies** consist of BCE Inc., Canadian Natural Resources Limited, Canadian Pacific Kansas City Limited, Canadian Tire Corporation, Cenovus Energy Inc., CNOOC Petroleum North America ULC, ConocoPhillips Canada Limited, Enbridge Inc., General Electric Canada Inc., Gibson Energy ULC, Irving Oil Ltd., Johnson & Johnson (Canada) Inc, MEG Energy Corp., Microsoft Canada Inc., NOVA Chemicals Corporation, Nutrien Ltd., Ovintiv Inc., Parkland Corporation, Pembina Pipeline Corporation, Pfizer Canada ULC, Shell Canada Limited, Suncor Energy Inc., TC Energy Corporation, Teck Resources Limited Inc., Valero Energy Inc. and Veren Inc.

**Dollar-denominated approach:** annual equity grant is based on target dollar value with underlying units adjusted to achieve target value. Market common approach; results in less volatility than a share-denominated award.

**Non-GAAP financial measures** The following definitions are used in the CD&A as several of Imperial's business and financial performance measures. These measures are not prescribed by U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). These measures constitute "non-GAAP financial measures" under Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation G and Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K, and "specified financial measures" under National Instrument 52-112 Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Disclosure of the Canadian Securities Administrators. Reconciliation of these Non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measure, and other information required by these regulations, have been provided below or is available in the "Frequently used terms" section of the company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. Non-GAAP financial measures and specified financial measures are not standardized financial measures under GAAP and do not have standardized definitions. As such, these measures may not be directly comparable to measures presented by other companies, and should not be considered a substitute for GAAP financial measures.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Cash flows from (used in) operating activities and asset sales (CFOAS) is the sum of the net cash provided by operating activities and proceeds from asset sales reported in the Consolidated statement of cash flows.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Return on average capital employed (ROCE) is a measure of capital productivity, and equals net income excluding the after-tax cost of financing divided by total average capital employed. Capital employed is property, plant and equipment, and other assets, less liabilities, excluding both short-term and long-term debt, including the company's share of equity company debt.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Operating costs is a non-GAAP financial measure that is the costs during the period to produce, manufacture, and otherwise prepare the company's products for sale – including energy costs, staffing and maintenance costs. It excludes the cost of raw materials, taxes and interest expense and is presented on a before-tax basis.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Net income (loss) excluding identified items is a non-GAAP financial measure that is total net income (loss) excluding individually significant non-operational events with an absolute corporate total earnings impact of at least $100 million in a given quarter. The net income (loss) impact of an identified item for an individual segment may be less than $100 million when the item impacts several segments or several periods. The most directly comparable financial measure that is disclosed in the financial statements is "Net income (loss)" within the company's Consolidated statement of income. Management uses these figures to improve comparability of the underlying business across multiple periods by isolating and removing significant non-operational events from business results. The company believes this view provides investors increased transparency into business results and trends, and provides investors with a view of the business as seen through the eyes of management. Net income (loss) excluding identified items is not meant to be viewed in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss) as prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. All identified items are presented on an after-tax basis.

**Share-denominated approach:** annual equity grant is based on a fixed number of shares; aligns award values with shareholder outcomes. Imperial uses this approach; results in a greater degree of volatility than a dollar-denominated approach.

**Statements regarding plans, objectives, and other future events or conditions are forward-looking statements.** See the "Forward-looking statements" section for important additional information about these statements, including factors that could cause actual results to differ materially.

**Stock ownership** includes common shares and restricted stock units.

**Total direct compensation** is compensation granted during the year, including salary, current year bonus, and the grant date fair value of restricted stock units.

**Total shareholder return (TSR)** measures the change in value of an investment in stock over a specified period of time, assuming dividend reinvestment. TSR is subject to many different variables, including factors beyond the control of management.

*(h)****All other compensation:*** *The amounts listed in the "All other compensation" column include dividend equivalent payments on restricted stock units granted, savings plans contributions, expatriate assignment costs, parking and perquisites.*

Tax equalization is an integral part of the expatriate relocation program and is designed to maintain an individual's overall tax burden at approximately the same level it would have otherwise been, had they remained in their home country. Tax equalization amounts vary from one year to the next and the net impact may be positive or negative in the year.*

*(i)****Total compensation:*** *"Total compensation" consists of the total dollar value of "Salary", "Share-based awards", "Option-based awards", "Non-equity incentive plan compensation", "Pension value" and "All other compensation".

J.R. Whelan participates in the ExxonMobil Canada Ltd. defined contribution pension plan, defined benefit supplemental pension arrangement, and savings plan. Under the ExxonMobil Canada Ltd. defined contribution plan, the pension is payable in Canadian dollars and the contribution to the plan is calculated based on average base salary. The defined benefit supplemental pension arrangement, which is payable to executive officers who receive an annual bonus and meet the criteria of the supplemental pension arrangement, is payable in Canadian dollars as a lump sum and can provide a benefit of 1.5 percent of final average bonus earnings multiplied by years of service. Final average bonus earnings include the average annual bonus for the three highest grants of the last five granted prior to retirement for eligible executives, but do not include restricted stock units.

B.W. Corson, D.E. Lyons and C.L. Gomez-Smith are participants in the Exxon Mobil Corporation pension and savings plans. Under the Exxon Mobil Pension Plan (EMPP), the pension is payable in U.S. dollars and is calculated based on final average base salary over the highest 36 consecutive months in the 10 years of service prior to retirement. The ExxonMobil Supplemental Pension Plan (SPP) is for pension benefits that cannot be paid from the EMPP due to IRS limitations. The ExxonMobil Additional Payment Plan (APP) provides a pension based on the average annual bonus for the three highest grants of the last five awarded prior to retirement. The SPP and APP are paid as a lump sum.

***Effect of early retirement or death***

All company pension provisions generally require completion of 10 years of service and attainment of age 55 to be eligible for early retirement. For members of Exxon Mobil Corporation's or respective affiliates' pension plan, pension provisions generally require completion of 15 years of service and attainment of age 55 to be eligible for early retirement.

The early retirement benefit under the 1.6 percent pension plan provision consists of an annuity benefit that is undiscounted for retirement ages of 60 years or over, with a discount of 5 percent for each year under age 60. Alternatively, pension will be undiscounted if member attains age 55 and 30 years of service.

The early retirement benefit under the 3PO pension provision consists of an annuity benefit that is undiscounted for retirement ages of 62 years or over, with a discount of 5 percent for each year under age 57 and a discount of 3 percent for each year between age 57 and 62.

In the event of death prior to pension commencement, the participant's beneficiary receives the actuarial present value of the earned pension. This may be paid in the form of a monthly pension, a lump sum payment, or transferred to a retirement savings vehicle, subject to provincial legislation and plan rules. In the event of death after pension commencement, a retirement benefit may be payable to the participant's beneficiary, in accordance with pension selection.

**Other compensation elements**

|:---|:---|
| **Termination and change-in-control** | • The company does not have written employment contracts or any other agreement with its named executive officers providing for payments on change-in-control or termination of employment; see page [173](#i36b14731d30047eaa6965344dcee1a4d_1-0-1-1-413830).  |
| **Common programs** | • All executives employed by the company, including the named executive officers, participate in common programs (the same salary, incentive, and retirement programs). Compensation is differentiated based on individual performance assessment, experience and pay grade. <br>• All executives on assignment from an affiliate of the company, including the named executive officers on assignment from Exxon Mobil Corporation and ExxonMobil Canada Ltd., also participate in common programs that are administered by Exxon Mobil Corporation or such affiliates.

| **Health care benefits** | • Named executive officers are eligible to participate in their respective Company's health care programs (medical, dental, prescription drug, and vision care) on the same basis as other employees; no special provisions apply. |
| **Tax assistance** | • Tax assistance is provided for employees on expatriate assignment. This assistance consists primarily of a tax equalization component designed to maintain the employees' overall income tax burden at approximately the same level had they remained in their home country. The expatriate relocation program is broad-based and applies to all executive, management, professional and technical transferred employees.  |
| **Payments in the event of death** | • The only event that results in acceleration of vesting for outstanding restricted stock awards is death.<br>• Executive's estate or beneficiaries would be entitled to receive the applicable death benefits as described above this table, a distribution of the executive's savings plan balances, and payment of company-provided life insurance. |

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;An agenda for each board meeting and briefing materials will, to the extent practicable in light of the timing of matters that require board attention, be distributed to each director approximately five to seven days prior to each meeting. The chairman, in consultation with the lead director and committee chairs, as applicable, will normally set the agenda for board meetings. Any director may request the inclusion of specific items.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It is expected that each director will make every effort to attend each board meeting and each meeting of any committee on which he or she serves. Attendance in person is preferred but virtual attendance is permitted if necessary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each director should be familiar with the agenda for each meeting, have carefully reviewed all other materials distributed in advance of the meeting, and be prepared to participate meaningfully in the meeting, and to discuss all scheduled items of business.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The proceedings and deliberations of the board and its committees are confidential. Each director will maintain the confidentiality of information received in connection with his or her service as a director, and the chief executive officer, or those whom he or she has designated, will speak for the corporation.

**7. Independent directors**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The board shall be composed of a majority of independent directors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In respect of each director to be appointed to fill a vacancy and each director to be nominated for election or re-election by the shareholders, the board shall make an express determination as to whether he or she is an independent director and, for a director who may become a member of the audit committee, whether he or she is an audit committee financial expert or financially literate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The term "independent", shall have the meaning as set out in applicable law, including on the basis of the standards specified by National Instrument 52-110 Audit Committees, the US.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Independent directors will have full access to senior management of the corporation and other employees on request to discuss the business and affairs of the corporation. The board expects that there will be regular opportunities for directors to meet with the chief executive officer, and other members of management in board and committee meetings and in other formal or informal settings.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Compensation for independent directors will be determined by the board on the recommendation of the nominations and corporate governance committee and will be reviewed annually. Non-employee director compensation will be set at a level that is consistent with market practice, taking into account the size and scope of the corporation's business and the responsibilities of its directors. A substantial portion of the compensation

------

paid to independent directors for service on the board will be paid in restricted stock units of the corporation.

**8. Lead Director**

The board will annually appoint one independent director to serve as lead director. The appointment of a lead director is intended to ensure that the board functions with appropriate independence and to enhance the company's corporate governance. It is normally expected that the same director will serve as lead director for a minimum of two years.

The lead director's duties and responsibilities will include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;act as liaison with the chairman, in consultation with the other directors, (provided however that each director will also be afforded direct and complete access to the chairman at any time as such director deems necessary or appropriate);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;calls, chairs and sets agendas for executive sessions of the independent directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;provides feedback to the chairman;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;chairs meetings of the board in the absence of the chairman;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;reviews and approves the schedule and agenda for all board and committee meetings and reviews associated materials distributed to the directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;advises the chairman as to the quality, quantity and timeliness of information flows;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;working together with the chairman, oversees the annual performance evaluation of the board; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;working together with the chair of the executive resources committee, oversees the annual performance review of the CEO.

Compensation for the lead director will be determined by the board on the recommendation of the nominations and corporate governance committee and will be reviewed annually.

**9. Independent legal or other advice** 

It is normally expected that information regarding the corporation's business and affairs will be provided to the board by the corporation's management and staff and by its independent auditors. However, the board and, with the approval of the board, any director, may engage independent counsel and other advisors at the expense of the corporation. The fees and expenses of any such advisor will be paid by the corporation.

**10. Meetings of the independent directors in the absence of members of management** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Meetings of the independent directors ("executive sessions of the board") shall be held in conjunction with all board meetings including unscheduled virtual board meetings. Additional executive sessions may be convened by the lead director at his or her discretion and will be convened if requested by any other director. Any independent director may raise issues for discussion at an executive session.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The lead director, or in the lead director's absence, an independent director chosen by the independent directors, shall preside at executive sessions of the board and ensure that meetings of the independent directors are held in accordance with this charter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The purposes of the executive sessions of the board shall include the following:

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to raise substantive issues that are more appropriately discussed in the absence of management;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to discuss the need to communicate to the chairman of the board any matter of concern raised by any committee or any director;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to address issues raised but not resolved at meetings of the board and assess any follow-up needs with the chairman of the board;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to discuss the quality, quantity, and timeliness of the flow of information from management that is necessary for the independent directors to effectively and responsibly perform their duties, and advise the chairman of the board of any changes required; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to seek feedback about board processes.

**11. Selection and tenure of directors**

**Audit Committee Charter**

**1. Purpose of the Committee** 

The primary purpose of the audit committee (the "committee") is oversight of financial reporting, compliance and controls. The independence of the committee is a critical component of corporate governance as the committee holds the board and management accountable and fosters trust and confidence for all stakeholders, which is vital for the generation of long-term value. The committee shall assist the board of directors (the "board") in fulfilling its responsibility to oversee:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• management's conduct of the corporation's financial reporting process,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the integrity of the financial statements and other financial information provided by the corporation to Canadian securities regulators, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and the public,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the corporation's system of internal accounting and financial controls,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the corporation's compliance with legal and regulatory requirements,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the performance of the corporation's internal audit function,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the independent auditors' qualifications, performance, and independence,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the annual independent audit of the corporation's financial statements, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• compliance and legal risks including investigations and litigation of a material financial nature.

The corporation's management is responsible for preparing the corporation's financial statements. The independent auditors are responsible for auditing those financial statements. Management, including the internal audit function, and the independent auditors, have more time, knowledge, and detailed information about the corporation than do committee members. Consequently, in carrying out its oversight responsibilities, the committee is not providing any expert or special assurance as to the corporation's financial statements, or any professional certification as to the independent auditors' work, including with respect to auditor independence. Each member of the committee shall be entitled to rely on the integrity of people and organizations from whom the committee receives information and the accuracy of such information, including representations by management and the independent auditors regarding non-audit services provided by the independent auditors.

**2. Committee Membership** 

The committee shall consist of no fewer than three members. Committee members shall be appointed by the board from among its independent members who shall serve at the pleasure of the board, but only so long as each member continues to be a director of the corporation and is independent. Each member of the committee must satisfy such criteria of independence as the board may establish and such additional regulatory or listing requirements as the board may determine to be applicable or appropriate. Each member of the committee shall serve only so long as he or she continues to be a director of the corporation and is independent. The actual number of members shall be determined from time to time by resolution of the board.

------

Accordingly, each member of the committee shall be financially literate within a reasonable period of time after appointment to the committee; must be "independent" as defined in the board charter; and may not serve on more than two other public company audit committees unless the board determines that such simultaneous service would not impair the ability of the member to serve effectively on the committee. In addition, at least one member of the committee shall be an "audit committee financial expert" as defined by applicable laws.

**3. Committee Structure and Operation** 

The chair and vice-chair of the committee shall be designated by the board from among the members of the committee. The committee shall fix its own rules of procedure and shall meet where and as provided by such rules or by resolution of the committee. In addition to the regular meeting schedule established by the committee, the chair of the committee may call a special meeting at any time.

The chair, or in that person's absence, the vice-chair or in the vice-chair's absence, an alternate designated by the committee, shall:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;review, and modify if necessary the agenda of the meetings of this committee in advance to ensure that the committee may effectively carry out its duties.
