Further details on the Exchange Offer and the New Notes

The Exchange Offer is subject to the offer and distribution restrictions set out
below.

The Exchange Offer will be open to Noteholders until 17:00 CET on May 14, 2024. 

Settlement of the Exchange Offer is expected to take place on or before May 24,
2024.

The Exchange has been launched following confirmation that a significant number
of Noteholders were unable to participate in the first Bond Exchange Offer,
announced on January 25, 2024, due to difficulties being faced by their chosen
investment platform at the time, and the deadline for completion of that Bond
Exchange Offer having subsequently elapsed. 

The Noteholders, by way of the Exchange Offer, are given the opportunity to
exchange the Outstanding Notes for New notes issued by the Company on revised
terms in respect of the Bond Exchange first announced on January 25, 2024. 
Zenith has again appointed The Bank of New York Mellon ("BNYM") as Exchange
Agent to coordinate the distribution of the Exchange, specifically to liaise
with the clearing systems and manage the implementation of the Exchange. 
Before making a decision on whether to exchange Existing Notes for New Notes,
Noteholders should carefully consider all of the information contained in, and
incorporated by reference into, the EMTN Base Prospectus dated 16 March 2023, as
supplemented from time to time if necessary. They should seek advice from any
tax, accounting, financial and legal advisers they may deem necessary. The EMTN
Base Prospectus and its supplements are available on the website of Zenith
(https://www.zenithenergy.ca/investors/bonds-credit-ratings/)

Noteholders are advised to check with any bank, securities broker, or other
intermediary through which they hold Existing Notes when such intermediary would
need to receive instructions from a Noteholder in order for that Noteholder to
be able to participate in, or (in the limited circumstances in which revocation
is permitted) revoke their instruction to participate in, the Exchange Offer
before the deadlines specified above.

The technical instructions to participate in the Exchange Offer can be found
within the Exchange Offer Document which can be obtained from the contacts
listed below.
