Summary

Summary of the 8-K filed October 1, 2026. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.

Ovintiv Inc. (NYSE, TSX: OVV) announced on October 1, 2026 that the Toronto Stock Exchange has accepted its notice to renew its normal course issuer bid (NCIB), permitting purchase of up to 26,973,037 common shares during the 12-month period from October 5, 2026 to October 4, 2027.

The company describes the renewal as consistent with its capital allocation framework of returning 50%a to 100% of annual Non-GAAP Free Cash Flow to shareholders through base dividends and share buybacks, and states it has committed to returning at least 60% of 2026 Non-GAAP Free Cash Flow. The authorized share count represents 10 percent of public float as of September 21, 2026, as calculated under TSX rules. The company also renewed its automatic share purchase plan (ASPP), which allows its designated broker to buy shares under the NCIB during regulatory restrictions and customary self-imposed blackout periods.

Purchases will be made on the TSX, NYSE, other designated exchanges and alternative trading systems, subject to Rule 10b-18 and TSX daily volume limits. Based on average daily TSX trading volume of 216,540 shares for the six months ended August 31, 2026, daily TSX purchases are limited to 54,135 shares, other than block purchase exceptions. Under the existing NCIB (October 3, 2025 to October 2, 2026, authorizing up to 22,287,709 shares), Ovintiv had purchased 13,925,579 common shares as of September 30, 2026, at a weighted average price of US$58.49b per share.

In the third quarter of 2026 alone, it bought 6,332,551 shares at a weighted average price of US$60.90c per share. The filing furnishes the news release under Item 7.01 (Regulation FD) and states it is not deemed filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act.
