Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains statements and information which constitute
"forward-looking statements" or "forward-looking information" (within the
meaning of applicable securities legislation). Such statements and information
(together, "forward-looking statements") relate to future events, including the
Corporation's future performance, business prospects or opportunities. Actual
results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking
statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are
expressly qualified by this cautionary statement. Forward-looking statements
speak only as of the date of this press release, unless otherwise indicated. IPC
does not intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update these forward-
looking statements, except as required by applicable laws.
All statements other than statements of historical fact may be forward-looking
statements. Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to
predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, forecasts, guidance,
budgets, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not
always, using words or phrases such as "seek", "anticipate", "plan", "continue",
"estimate", "expect", "may", "will", "project", "forecast", "predict",
"potential", "targeting", "intend", "could", "might", "should", "believe",
"budget" and similar expressions) are not statements of historical fact and may
be "forward-looking statements". Forward-looking statements include, but are not
limited to, statements with respect to: the ability and willingness of IPC to
continue the NCIB, including the number of common shares to be acquired and
cancelled and the timing of such purchases and cancellations; and the return of
value to IPC's shareholders as a result of any common share repurchases.
The forward-looking statements are based on certain key expectations and
assumptions made by IPC, including expectations and assumptions concerning:
prevailing commodity prices and currency exchange rates; applicable royalty
rates and tax laws; interest rates; future well production rates and reserve and
contingent resource volumes; operating costs; our ability to maintain our
existing credit ratings; our ability to achieve our performance targets; the
timing of receipt of regulatory approvals; the performance of existing wells;
the success obtained in drilling new wells; anticipated timing and results of
capital expenditures; the sufficiency of budgeted capital expenditures in
carrying out planned activities; the timing, location and extent of future
drilling operations; the successful completion of acquisitions and dispositions
and that we will be able to implement our standards, controls, procedures and
policies in respect of any acquisitions and realize the expected synergies on
the anticipated timeline or at all; the benefits of acquisitions; the state of
the economy and the exploration and production business in the jurisdictions in
which IPC operates and globally; the availability and cost of financing, labour
and services; our intention to complete share repurchases under our normal
course issuer bid program, including the funding of such share repurchases,
existing and future market conditions, including with respect to the price of
our common shares, and compliance with respect to applicable limitations under
securities laws and regulations and stock exchange policies; and the ability to
market crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids successfully.
Although IPC believes that the expectations and assumptions on which such
forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, undue reliance should not
be placed on the forward-looking statements because IPC can give no assurances
that they will prove to be correct. Since forward-looking statements address
future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks
and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those currently
anticipated due to a number of factors and risks. These include, but are not
limited to: general global economic, market and business conditions; the risks
associated with the oil and gas industry in general such as operational risks in
development, exploration and production; delays or changes in plans with respect
to exploration or development projects or capital expenditures; the uncertainty
of estimates and projections relating to reserves, resources, production,
revenues, costs and expenses; health, safety and environmental risks; commodity
price fluctuations; interest rate and exchange rate fluctuations; marketing and
transportation; loss of markets; environmental and climate-related risks;
competition; innovation and cybersecurity risks related to our systems,
including our costs of addressing or mitigating such risks; the ability to
attract, engage and retain skilled employees; incorrect assessment of the value
of acquisitions; failure to complete or realize the anticipated benefits of
acquisitions or dispositions; the ability to access sufficient capital from
internal and external sources; failure to obtain required regulatory and other
approvals; geopolitical conflicts, including the war between Ukraine and Russia
and the conflict in the Middle East, and their potential impact on, among other
things, global market conditions; and changes in legislation, including but not
limited to tax laws, royalties and environmental regulations. Readers are
cautioned that the foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive.
Additional information on these and other factors that could affect IPC, or its
operations or financial results, are included in IPC's annual information form

Forward-Looking Information", "Risks Factors" and "Reserves and Resources
