  officers, as well as other employees and individuals, against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines, and settlement amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection with specified actions, suits, or proceedings brought by
  third parties, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, if the individuals acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any
  criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions and actions brought directly by the corporation, except that indemnification only
  extends to expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such actions, and the statute requires court approval before there can be any indemnification of expenses if the person seeking
  indemnification has been found liable to the corporation. In addition, the statute requires indemnification of directors and certain officers to the extent they have been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defending an action, suit, or
  proceeding (whether brought by a third party or by or on behalf of the corporation). The statute also permits a corporation to pay expenses of defense in advance of the final disposition of an action, suit, or proceeding upon receipt (in the case of
  a current director or officer) of an undertaking to repay any amounts advanced if it is ultimately determined that the director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified. The statute provides that it is not exclusive of other indemnification that
  may be granted by a corporation&#146;s bylaws, disinterested director vote, stockholder vote, agreement, or otherwise. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company&#146;s

  in accordance with the requirements of General Instruction E (Registration of Additional Securities) of Form
  S-8
  under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the "Securities Act"), to register an
  additional 5,700,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock") that are reserved for issuance pursuant to awards granted under the Omnibus Incentive Plan of Ovintiv Inc. (as amended, restated, supplemented
  or otherwise modified, the "Plan"). The contents of the Registration Statement on Form
  S-8
  (
  Registration No.
  333-231248
  ), filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on May 
  7, 2019 as amended by
  Post-Effective Amendment No.

  thereto filed with the SEC on January 27, 2020, and Form
  S-8
  (Registration

  August 4, 2022, together with all exhibits filed therewith or incorporated by reference, are hereby incorporated by reference and made a part hereof.
  PART II
  INFORMATION
  REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
  Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
  Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") provides that a corporation may indemnify its directors and
  officers, as well as other employees and individuals, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, and settlement amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection with specified actions, suits, or proceedings brought by
  third parties, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, if the individuals acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any
  criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions and actions brought directly by the corporation, except that indemnification only
  extends to expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such actions, and the statute requires court approval before there can be any indemnification of expenses if the person seeking
  indemnification has been found liable to the corporation. In addition, the statute requires indemnification of directors and certain officers to the extent they have been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defending an action, suit, or
  proceeding (whether brought by a third party or by or on behalf of the corporation). The statute also permits a corporation to pay expenses of defense in advance of the final disposition of an action, suit, or proceeding upon receipt (in the case of
  a current director or officer) of an undertaking to repay any amounts advanced if it is ultimately determined that the director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified. The statute provides that it is not exclusive of other indemnification that
  may be granted by a corporation's bylaws, disinterested director vote, stockholder vote, agreement, or otherwise.
  The Company's
  Certificate of Incorporation contains provisions that limit the liability of the directors of the Company for monetary damages to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Consequently, the Company's directors will not be personally liable
  to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duties as directors, except liability for:
  (i)
  any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders;
  (ii)
  any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
  (iii)
  willful or negligent declaration and payment of unlawful dividends, or unlawful share purchases or redemptions;
  or
  (iv)
  any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
  The Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Company is required to indemnify its directors and officers, in each case to the fullest
  extent permitted by Delaware law. The Certificate of Incorporation also obligates the Company to advance expenses incurred by a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of any action or proceeding. In addition, the Company has entered
  into agreements with the Company's directors and officers to indemnify such directors and officers. With specified exceptions, these agreements provide for indemnification against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including
  attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement by any of these individuals in any action, suit or proceeding, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. In addition, the Company maintains directors' and
  officers' liability insurance.
  2
  The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in the Certificate of
  Incorporation may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against the Company's directors and officers for breach of their fiduciary duty. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against the Company's directors
  and officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit the Company and its stockholders. Furthermore, a stockholder's investment may be adversely affected to the extent that the Company pays the costs of settlement or damages.
  The foregoing summaries are necessarily subject to the complete text of Section 145 of the DGCL and the Company's Certificate of
  Incorporation and the arrangements referred to above and are qualified in their entirety by reference thereto.
