This acquisition accounts for around 6.2% of the total outstanding shares at the start of the program.

Understanding the NCIB Regulations
The implementation of IPC's NCIB adheres to strict regulations set forth in the Market Abuse Regulation and relevant guidelines from the Toronto Stock Exchange and Nasdaq Stockholm. These rules are designed to provide clarity and transparency in share repurchase activities, ensuring compliance with Canadian and Swedish securities laws.
Impact of Share Cancellations
Following the completion of this repurchase initiative, all shares acquired will be promptly canceled. In September 2025 alone, IPC canceled 600,437 shares repurchased under the program, along with 50,000 shares purchased under different exemptions. As of September 30, 2025, the total number of outstanding IPC shares stands at 112,180,065, with only 24,538 of these shares held in treasury. Following the cancellation process, this number will adjust to 112,155,527 outstanding shares.
International Petroleum Corporation Business Outlook
International Petroleum Corporation focuses on oil and gas exploration and production, boasting an impressive portfolio of assets located in various regions, including Canada and Malaysia. The strategic positioning within these markets puts IPC in a favorable position for both organic and external growth opportunities. Being part of the esteemed Lundin Group, IPC cultivates a robust foundation to ensure the sustainable development of its resources.
Looking Ahead
The ongoing efforts in share repurchase signify IPC’s commitment to returning value to its shareholders. By curtailing the number of shares in circulation, the corporation aims to enhance overall shareholder equity and drive future growth. As market conditions evolve, IPC continues to monitor opportunities for expansions that align with its strategic vision.
