RE:RE:RE:Share Buy Backs

We plan to reinstate a dividend in Q1 2022. Although it is still subject to board approval, our intention is to reinstate a fixed quarterly dividend (5-10% of FFO stress-tested at lower prices including US$55/bbl WTI) while continuing to focus on debt reduction. As further debt targets are achieved we will consider augmenting our return of capital through fixed dividend increases, share buybacks and/or special dividends. We will provide more details on our return of capital framework with our formal 2022 budget release in early December.

What I am wondering is why anyone would think they would buyback shares when they ahve never mentioned that and they already have a ridiculously low share float.

Don't get me wrong I think they should announce an NCIB as it is a nice tool to have at your disposal and it do not necessarily have to use it but it would be there if the stock suffered an unforseen shock. It does not cost anything.

I still see at least $.06 CAD per quarter as per their guidance and debt repayment to at least 1.5x to trailing FFO agaim, as per guidance. If there is cash left over they can do what they want.
