Arrangement Anticipated to be Completed in the Second Quarter of 2026

Transaction Positions Frontera as a Standalone Infrastructure Company

CALGARY, AB, April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Frontera Energy Corporation (TSX: FEC) ("Frontera" or the "Company") announced today that shareholders voted to approve its previously announced plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") pursuant to which Parex Resources Inc. (TSX: PXT) ("Parex"), through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Parex AcquisitionCo Inc. (the "Purchaser"), will acquire all of Frontera's Colombian upstream business consisting of Frontera's oil and gas exploration and production assets in Colombia, its reverse osmosis water treatment facility and its palm oil plantation (collectively, the "E&P Assets"), at the Company's special meeting of shareholders held earlier today (the "Meeting"). At the Meeting, Frontera shareholders also approved the reduction of the capital account of the common shares of Frontera by an aggregate amount of up to C$647 million (equivalent to approximately US$470 million), for the purposes of effecting a potential distribution to shareholders by way of a return of capital (the "Return of Capital") related to the net cash proceeds from the Arrangement.

Pursuant to the Arrangement, Parex will acquire the E&P Assets for a purchase price of: (i) US$500 million payable upon closing, subject to any adjustment in accordance with the arrangement agreement entered into between Frontera, Parex and the Purchaser in respect of the Arrangement (the "Arrangement Agreement"); plus (ii) an additional US$25 million contingent payment payable upon the achievement of specified development milestones within a period of up to 12 months following the closing of the Arrangement.

Upon completion of the Arrangement, Frontera will transition to a focused infrastructure company, with a portfolio anchored by its equity interests in the Oleoducto de los Llanos Orientales (ODL) crude oil pipeline and the Puerto Bahía port. The Infrastructure Business generated approximately $77 million of distributable cash flow in 2025 and includes identified growth initiatives at Puerto Bahía, including LPG import facilities, a potential LNG regasification project and containerized cargo expansion, as disclosed in the Company's information circular.

Gabriel de Alba, Chairman of the Board of Directors, commented:

"We appreciate the strong support of our shareholders in approving the Arrangement and Return of Capital. Today's vote marks an important milestone and underscores our shareholders' confidence in our strategic direction. The approval enables us to crystallize value at an attractive premium for our Colombian E&P assets and sharpen our focus on Frontera Infrastructure, as the Company advances its next phase of growth and long‑term value creation."

Each of the Arrangement and the Return of Capital required the approval of at least two thirds of the votes cast by shareholders present virtually or represented by proxy at the Meeting.

At the Meeting, the special resolution approving the Arrangement was approved by 99.95% of the votes cast on the resolution by Frontera's shareholders present virtually or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting. In addition, the special resolution approving the Return of Capital was also approved by 100% of the votes cast by Frontera's shareholders present virtually or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting.

Following today's result, Frontera intends to seek a final order from the Supreme Court of British Columbia in respect of the Arrangement (the "Final Order") and to undertake the Return of Capital, subject to completion of the Arrangement.

The anticipated hearing date for the application for the Final Order is May 4, 2026. Subject to obtaining the Final Order and the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to implement the Arrangement as set out in the Arrangement Agreement, the Arrangement is anticipated to be completed in the second quarter of 2026, provided the remaining regulatory approvals are received within the expected timeframes.

Once these steps have been completed, the Company intends to announce the amount, record date and payment date in respect of the Return of Capital.
