(2) Represents the redemption value of the US$75 MM preferred shares as at March 31, 2020 in $CAD based on the fixed exchange rate of 86% CAD/USD 0.795 used to determine the exchange of such preferred shares to common shares. Preferred shares are considered a compound financial instrument for accounting purposes and as a result, a liability component of $95.3MM and an equity component of C$7.5 MM are reflected on our consolidated balance sheet as at March 31, 2020. In May 2020, PSH elected to pay the first quarter dividend in-kind to preserve liquidity which will increase the preferred shares’ redemption value by US$2.25MM (~$3.2MM). (3) Balance as of March 31, 2020 (net of cash on hand). PetroShale’s senior bank facility is US$177.5 MM and as of May 27th, the Company currently has outstanding borrowings of approximately US$154 MM (net of $18.0 MM cash on hand) Total Liquids Production (4) Enterprise value is the sum of market capitalization, preferred shares redemption value and bank debt. 4 (5) Reserves estimates are based on an evaluation of our assets performed by Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Inc.

  12. MARKETING & RISK MANAGEMENT No exposure to egress issues impacting western Canadian operators Current Bakken differentials narrowed to $nil/bbl to $3.00/bbl, reflecting regional production shut-ins • Commissioning of the Dakota Access Pipeline (“DAPL ”) in 2017 significantly narrowed WTI differentials • Capacity expansion at DAPL from 570mbo/d to 1.1mmbo/d by early 2021 • Phillips 66 / Bridger Pipeline announced the construction of the Liberty Pipeline, estimated to be • additional 350mbo/d of new capacity by 2021 Incremental pipeline capacity with • Clearbrook, MN DAPL and others has reduced need for rail transport and narrowed differentials, with 1.3mmbo/d in current excess rail capacity Patoka, IL Differential outlook is Cushing, OK constructive with potential pipeline projects and significant Nederland, TX rail capacity 12
