Certain statements contained in this presentation constitute forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events or our future performance. All statements other than statements of historical fact may be forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are often, but not always, identified by the use of words such as "seek", "anticipate", "plan", "continue", "estimate", "expect", "may", "will", "project", "predict", "potential", "targeting", "intend", "could", "might", "should", "believe" and similar expressions. In particular, this presentation contains forward-looking statements pertaining to, but not limited to, the following: details of the Corporation's 2015 to 2017 development plan including expected production growth, estimate debt to cash flow ratio, expected capital expenditures, expected wells to be drilled, expected operating costs, expected economics, expected resulting free cash flow and expected number of drilling locations and inventory; expected number of wells required to be drilled to achieve certain levels of production; expected details and timing of the Glacier gas plant expansion; expected well economics associated with certain type curves; expected future production levels; expected maintenance and outages on the TransCanada pipeline; expected effect of restrictions and outages on the TransCanada pipeline on future production levels; expected sensitivities in cash flow per share and debt to cash flow levels to changes in commodity prices; expected effect of refinement of drilling and completion technique; Advantage's guidance in respect of anticipated production levels, exit production rates, royalty rates, operating costs and netbacks; and projections of market prices and costs. In addition, statements relating to "reserves" or "resources" are deemed to be forward-looking statements, as they involve the implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions that the reserves and resources described can be profitably produced in the future. These statements involve substantial known and unknown risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond Advantage's control, including, but not limited to: changes in general economic, market and business conditions; industry conditions; actions by governmental or regulatory authorities including increasing taxes or royalties; and changes in investment or other regulations; the effect of acquisitions; Advantage's success at acquisition, exploitation and development of reserves; changes in laws and regulations including the adoption of new environmental laws and regulations and changes in how they are interpreted and enforced; fluctuations in commodity prices and foreign exchange and interest rates; stock market volatility and market valuations; volatility in market prices for oil and natural gas; unexpected drilling results, changes in commodity prices, currency exchange rates, capital expenditures, reserves or reserves estimates and debt service requirements; theADVISORY

This presentation includes calculations of finding and development ("F&D") costs which have been calculated in accordance with Section 5.15 of NI 51-101 by adding together exploration costs, development costs and the change in future development costs and dividing the sum by reserves additions. The aggregate of the exploration and development costs incurred in the most recent financial year and the change during that year in estimated future development costs generally will not reflect total finding and development costs related to reserve additions for that year. In this presentation certain financial and operating metrics of other issuers are presented to compare such metrics to Advantage's results. Such other issuers were included to show how Advantage's performance compares to some of its peers. The financial and operating metrics of such issuers have been obtained from public sources and have not been independently verified by Advantage. Readers should not base an investment decision for the securities of such issuers based on the information available herein. Advantage disclaims any responsibility or liability for the accuracy of the information relating to such other issuers presented herein.
