Prairie Provident Announces Renewal of Normal Course Issuer Bid

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

CALGARY, Nov. 29, 2018 - Prairie Provident Resources Inc. ("Prairie Provident" or the "Company") announces that the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") has accepted for filing the Company's notice of intention to make a normal course issuer bid ("NCIB"). The NCIB effectively renews the existing NCIB, which is scheduled to end on November 30, 2018.

Pursuant to the renewed NCIB, Prairie Provident may purchase from time to time up to a maximum of 5,000,000 common shares, at such times and in such quantities as the Company may determine, subject to applicable regulatory restrictions. Purchases under the NCIB may be made through open market transactions on the TSX and any alternative Canadian trading platforms on which the common shares are traded, based on the prevailing market price. Any common shares purchased under the NCIB will be cancelled.

Transactions under the NCIB will depend on future market conditions. Prairie Provident retains discretion whether to make purchases under the NCIB, and to determine the timing, amount and acceptable price of any such purchases, subject at all times to applicable TSX and other regulatory requirements.

The renewed NCIB period will commence on December 4, 2018 and end on December 3, 2019 or such earlier date as the NCIB is completed or is terminated at the Company's election.

Under TSX rules, not more than 19,330 common shares (being 25% of the average daily trading volume on the TSX of 77,321 common shares for the six months ended October 2018) can be purchased on the TSX on any single trading day under the renewed NCIB, except that one block purchase in excess of the daily maximum is permitted per calendar week.

The NCIB provides the Company with an additional capital allocation alternative with a view to long-term shareholder value. In circumstances where the prevailing market price of the common shares does not reflect what Prairie Provident believes to be the underlying value of its business and assets, a purchase of common shares for cancellation under the NCIB may provide an opportunity to enhance shareholder value by increasing the proportionate equity interest of remaining shareholders at an attractive valuation and improving per share metrics on an accretive basis.

The Company has appointed Cormark Securities Inc. as its broker to make any NCIB purchases on its behalf.

As of November 29, 2018, there were 172,113,876 common shares outstanding, of which 118,044,001 common shares are considered to be in the public float as freely tradeable shares not held by directors, officers or principal shareholders of the Company. Accordingly, the maximum 5,000,000 common shares that may be purchased under the renewed NCIB represents approximately 2.9% of the number of common shares currently outstanding, and approximately 4.2% of the public float.

Prairie Provident previously received approval from the TSX to purchase up to 4,900,000 common shares under its existing NCIB, representing approximately 9.8% of its public float at the time of commencement, during the December 1, 2017 to November 30, 2018 bid period. In the last twelve months, the Company purchased a total of 273,000 common shares under the current NCIB through market purchases on the TSX, at a volume-weighted average purchase price of approximately $0.339 per share.
