Annual General Meeting May 27, 2015

2014… “A PIVOTAL YEAR FOR ADVANTAGE” 2

WHY PIVOTAL? We needed to demonstrate:  Performance as a “Lean, Mean Montney Machine”  Industry Leading Low Cost Structure  Improved Well Performance & Capital Efficiencies  Continued Execution Capability & Delivering Targets  Sustainable Development Plan 3

WE ACHIEVED 2014 GOALS & MORE… Production Op. Costs Cash Costs Reserve Adds Debt/Cash Flow Capital Spending Well Results HSE 4

SUCCESSFULLY REPLACED CONVENTIONAL PRODUCTION THROUGH GLACIER MONTNEY GROWTH 40,000 Higher cost Non-Glacier 2014 “First Year as Pure Montney Producer. “ 35,000 production divested 2009-2013 Future Plan growth targeted to exceed Corporate history. 30,000 25,000 Boe/d 20,000 15,000 10,000 5,000 0 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015E 2016E 2017E Non-Glacier Glacier 5

WITH AN INDUSTRY LEADING LOW COST STRUCTURE $6.00 $5.00 TOAL CASH COSTS $/mcfe Reduced Total Cash Costs due to : $4.00  Divestment of conventional assets  Streamlined to focus only on Montney $3.00 $2.00 $0.84/mcfe $1.00 $0.00 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 Q1 6

POSITIONING ADVANTAGE AS THE LOWEST COST PRODUCER A $1 Cdn realized gas price will more than cover Advantage’s production costs, royalties, G&A & interest of $0.89/mcfe 7

WITH STRONG MARGINS ONE OF THE HIGHEST CASH NETBACK MARGINS IN SECTOR Royalties 4% Cash Flow Net Back 74% Operating Costs 11% G&A 5% Interest & Other 6% BASED ON Q1 2015 RESULTS 8

OUR DRILLING, COMPLETIONS & TECHNICAL EXPERTISE LED TO… 10

WELL “ OUTPERFORMANCE ” IN THE UPPER AND LOWER MONTNEY Recent wells completed with slick water and more frac stages are outperforming our Budget/Plan type curve assumptions - - - Budget Type Curve (IP30 6.9 mmcf/d & 6.9 Bcf) 11 Data: updated to May 2015

AND IN OUR LIQUIDS RICH MIDDLE MONTNEY WELLS… Middle Montney wells have sequentially New 2013 12-2 well started demonstrated improved productivity as production at restricted rate of 9.5 mmcf/d. Currently producing at we optimize frac design. Recent wells 1,000 psi flowing pressure exceeding Budget type curve Middle Montney Budget Type Curve (IP30 4.0 mmcf/d & 4.0 Bcf) 12 Data: updated to May, 2015

CREATED A CURRENT INVENTORY OF WELLS… NONE Required for Production Until July 2015 33 Wells drilled in 2014 program 22 Wells currently completed and tested (“production ready”) 6 Wells initially required to ramp to 183 mmcfe/d July 2015 (post gas plant expansion) 13

Improving Glacier Well Economics >30% ROR @ $2.50/mcf >70% ROR @ $3.50/mcf
