  84. Compensation Key Principles

    | Key Principle | | Application to Executive Compensation | | Alignment with shareholders | | Compensation consists largely of at risk, performance-based LTI awards tied to critical performance goals needed to achieve long-term, sustainable value for our shareholders | | | | Metrics are rigorously set to tie to key deliverables aligned with the Company’s annual and long-term objectives | | | | Ovintiv’s 2025 Say-on-Pay vote received 93.96% support, which demonstrates shareholders’ strong support for our executive compensation practices and pay for performance alignment | | Pay for performance | | 91% of total target direct compensation for our CEO and 84% of total target direct compensation for our other NEOs is tied to Ovintiv’s financial, operational, and TSR results | | | | Annual bonus is determined by execution of financial and other key measures approved by the Board and contained in our Company Scorecard | | | | The HRC Committee establishes rigorous targets for the annual bonus and strategic portion of our performance share units (“PSU”) program that align with the delivery of our strategic direction | | Market-competitive pay | | Compensation is designed around median target performance measured against our Peer Group (as defined on page 50 of this Proxy Statement) | | Sound risk management | | The HRC Committee is made up of independent directors and retains an independent compensation consultant | | | | We conduct annual risk assessments of our compensation programs and implement programs that reflect governance best practices |

  85. Role of the Committee

    Role of the Committee The HRC Committee meets at least quarterly through the fiscal year. In the beginning of the fiscal year, the HRC Committee establishes the Company’s scorecard metrics to determine annual compensation for that year and approves the terms of LTI awards. These determinations are made with input from management as well as the Board’s independent compensation advisor, FW Cook. The Company’s progress towards both scorecard and performance-based LTI metrics are tracked throughout the year at each committee meeting. The HRC Committee is regularly advised of and considers trends in executive compensation, the status of its current and potential future peer groups, and performs other various duties laid out in its charter. Following the end of each fiscal year, the HRC Committee meets to consider and determine bonus compensation for that year.

  86. Annual Bonus

    Annual Bonus All employees participate in our annual bonus plan, which provides an opportunity to earn a cash award based on performance against a combination of Company metrics and individual objectives for the year. The annual bonus is designed to motivate employees to pursue our key business performance objectives. In setting the targets and ranges for each metric, we employ stress tests to ensure that there is appropriate alignment between performance and payouts. The portion of the annual bonus tied to Company performance versus individual performance varies by job level. For NEOs, a Company score is calculated following the end of the year based on Ovintiv’s performance against the metrics set out in the Company Scorecard (the “Company Score”). The Company Score provides the baseline payout percentage for annual bonuses and includes an automatic 10 points downward adjustment should the Company experience a serious safety event during the year. Additionally, the Board retains discretion to adjust final payouts either up or down (within a range of -25% to +25%), to reflect unforeseen circumstances that occurred in the year.

  87. Employee Deferred Share Unit Plan

    Employee Deferred Share Unit Plan Under the Employee Deferred Share Unit Plan (“Employee DSU Plan”), executives can convert either 25% or 50% of their annual bonus award into DSUs. To defer part of an annual bonus award into DSUs, an executive must make an election prior to December 31 of the preceding calendar year. Once an election is made, the number of DSUs credited to an executive is calculated as follows: DSUs are settled in cash and are payable only after an executive separates from service of Ovintiv. No NEOs participated in the Employee DSU Plan in 2025.

  88. Company Scorecard Metrics and Performance

    Company Scorecard Metrics and Performance The following metrics were selected in 2025 for our Company Scorecard. These metrics align with the key components of our strategic plan and our key environmental and safety initiatives and serve as the building blocks of strong financial returns for shareholders.

  89. Company Scorecard Metrics and Performance

    | (1) Company Scorecard performance metrics and targets are updated annually to reflect changes in priorities and the macro environment. |

  96. Long-Term Incentive Awards

    Long-Term Incentive Awards LTI awards make up the largest portion of target compensation for our executives. These awards, which are primarily performance-based, are designed to incentivize delivery of our strategy and long-term value creation and payout of these awards correlates with Ovintiv’s stock price performance. LTI awards are granted annually, following approval by the HRC Committee. In setting the target value of LTI awards, the HRC Committee reviews individual performance, retention risk, internal equity and overall market competitiveness. As described on page 49 of this Proxy Statement, the Company’s 2025 compensation program employed two LTI vehicles: RSUs and PSUs. In 2025, 50% of LTI awards granted to the Company’s NEOs were in the form of RSUs and 50% were in the form of PSUs. Compensation from RSUs is based solely on the Company’s stock price over the performance period. PSUs are performance-based, and compensation is only earned if the Company’s stock price performance is above the 25th percentile relative to the PSU Performance Peer Group and if strategic milestones are met.

  107. 2025 Peer Group

    2025 Peer Group We use one peer group for purposes of benchmarking executive compensation and assessing PSU performance (our “Peer Group”). In order to remain competitive and retain top talent, we define our compensation market as a group of North American industry peers of a similar size, industry focus and geography as Ovintiv, and select our Peer Group accordingly. The HRC Committee is careful to include relevant E&P-focused companies, as their performance is similarly linked to changes in commodity prices during similar measurement periods. All members of our Peer Group meet the following criteria:

  108. 2025 Peer Group

    | Peer Group: Evaluation Criteria | | | | Financial and operational comparability | • total assets • production • product mix | • enterprise value • market capitalization • revenues | | Nature and scope of operations | • primarily North American operations • operate in similar North American plays | • upstream E&P | | Identified as competitive peer | • competitor for executive talent • competitor for investment capital | • identified internally or externally as a peer to Ovintiv |

    | (1) In July 2025, Hess Corporation was acquired by Chevron Corporation. |

  113. 2025 Peer Group

    The HRC Committee assesses market competitiveness of compensation for the CEO and other members of the ELT each year using data from the Peer Group. To remain competitive, we set annual target compensation for our executives around the median (or 50th percentile) of executives with comparable roles within our Peer Group. Target compensation may be set above or below the median based on various factors, including time in role, sustained performance over time, readiness for promotion, skillset and experience relative to external market counterparts.

  115. Compensation Risk Management

    | | THE BOARD AND HRC COMMITTEE USE A STRUCTURED DECISION-MAKING PROCESS TO MITIGATE COMPENSATION-RELATED RISK The Board and the HRC Committee mitigate compensation-related risk using a structured decision-making process and program safeguards. The HRC Committee’s structured approach to compensation risk is designed to discourage inadvertent or undue risk-taking by incorporating risk management principles directly into our program design, actively considering risk as a key element of compensation decision-making and requiring annual compensation program risk assessments. Our annual compensation risk assessments are reviewed, and often conducted, by the HRC Committee’s independent compensation consultant. The most recent risk assessment found that our executive and broad-based compensation programs do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on Ovintiv. Specific examples of how our program incorporates compensation risk management include: use of balanced, financial and operational performance metrics in our Board-approved Company Scorecard; use of a balanced mix of vehicles in our annual LTI grants; imposition of vesting and payout maximums (or caps) in our PSU grants; and application of our incentive program consistently across Ovintiv, so all employees, including our executives, are pursuing the same objectives. We believe these features reduce risk by diversifying rewards and eliminating reliance on any single or limited number of performance measures to determine executive incentive compensation. Compensation-related risk is mitigated through our corporate governance practices, which include robust stock ownership guidelines, an Incentive Compensation Clawback Policy, and prohibitions regarding hedging of equity awards and stock — all of which apply to incentive-based compensation granted to our executives. |

  116. Equity Grant Timing

    Equity Grant Timing The Company currently approves equity awards to our executive officers at the regularly scheduled HRC Committee and Board meetings in February, with awards granted in March of each year. The Board generally grants director equity awards each year immediately following our annual meeting of shareholders. The Company may also consider and approve interim or mid-year grants from time to time based on business needs and may change its equity grant practices in the future. The Company does not take material nonpublic information into account when determining the timing and terms of equity awards and has not timed the disclosure of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation.

  117. Indebtedness of Directors and Executive Officers

    Indebtedness of Directors and Executive Officers As of the date of this Proxy Statement, there is not, and since January 1, 2025, there has not been, any indebtedness outstanding by, or any guarantees, support agreements, letters of credit or other similar arrangements or understandings provided by, Ovintiv or its subsidiaries to any of our current or former directors (including the director nominees) or executive officers or any of their respective associates.

  120. Summary Compensation Table

    Notes:

  121. Summary Compensation Table

    | (1) Grant date fair value is calculated by multiplying the number of granted units by the VWAP of shares of Ovintiv common stock, on the five trading days immediately prior to the March 10, 2025 grant date (US$38.75 or C$55.96), the March 8, 2024 grant date (US$49.45 or C$67.12) (for 2024 awards), and the March 8, 2023 grant date (US$44.48 or C$60.72) (for 2023 awards). PSU and RSU compensation expenses are accounted for on a fair value basis, as required by U.S. GAAP, disregarding the effect of estimated forfeitures. The values reported in this column for 2025 PSU awards were computed based on the achievement of target level performance for each award. The values of the 2025 PSU awards at the grant date if the highest level of performance conditions were achieved would be as follows: Mr. McCracken-$9,900,005; Mr. Code-$3,150,416; Mr. Givens-$3,500,055; Ms. Eilers-$2,000,043; and Ms. Moore-$1,646,849. |

  156. Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

    Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control Ovintiv does not have general employment contracts with our NEOs; however, each NEO has a change in control (“CIC”) agreement that provides for payment of severance and other termination benefits upon a qualifying termination following a CIC. The treatment of each NEO’s LTI awards upon a termination of employment following a CIC is governed by the applicable LTI plan. The relevant terms of our executive CIC arrangements and treatment of LTI awards are summarized in the table below.

  157. Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

    | Application | CEO and all other ELT members. | | Trigger | A CIC and subsequent termination of executive’s employment within 24 months either: (i) by Ovintiv other than for Cause; or (ii) by the executive for Good Reason. Cause is defined as anything that would constitute “just cause” for the summary of your employment at common law. Good Reason is defined as a material adverse change in your employment terms. | | Severance | Lump sum cash payment equal to 2.5 times (or 3.0 times for Mr. McCracken) the sum of the executive’s base salary, annual allowance, professional membership fees reimbursement, matching contributions to investment plan, and annual bonus award (based on average bonus award paid over preceding three years). | | Benefits | Continuation of health, dental, life, disability, and accident insurance benefits (or a lump sum payment in lieu), career counseling, financial counseling, and executive benefits for 30 months (or 36 months in the case of Mr. McCracken). | | Pension | Continued accrual or crediting of contributions (for Defined Contribution pension plan participants) or cash payment equal to the value thereof for 30 months (or 36 months in the case of Mr. McCracken). | | Stock Options/SARs | All unvested stock options/stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) vest immediately and remain exercisable until the earlier of 24 months and the expiration date. | | PSUs | All outstanding PSUs immediately vest and become payable at the level specified in the plan document and at the price at which shares of Ovintiv common stock are valued for purposes of the CIC. | | RSUs | Any unvested RSUs immediately vest and are payable based on the price at which shares of Ovintiv common stock are valued for purposes of the CIC. |

  158. Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

    | TREATMENT OF LTIs UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE IN CONTROL | | | Voluntary or Involuntary Termination Outside a CIC; Retirement | Upon termination under the age of 55, all RSUs, PSUs and unvested stock options are forfeited and canceled, and any vested stock options must be exercised within 60 business days of termination. Upon early retirement between the ages of 55 to 60, whether initiated by Ovintiv or due to the applicable employee’s resignation: (i) unvested RSUs and PSUs vest on a pro-rated basis based on the number of months from the grant date to the date of retirement, and are paid at the scheduled vesting date; (ii) vested stock options or SARs must be exercised within six months of termination of employment; and (iii) unvested options or SARs are canceled. Upon retirement above the age of 60, whether initiated by Ovintiv or due to the applicable employee’s resignation, all outstanding RSUs, PSUs and stock options/SARs will continue to vest according to the vesting schedule, with any vested options or SARs exercisable up to the expiry date. | | Termination Following a CIC | Our LTI award agreements incorporate “double trigger” vesting provisions. For all LTI awards held by our NEOs, both a CIC and subsequent termination, of the executive by the Company (other than for “Cause”) or by the executive for “Good Reason”, in each case, within 24 months following the CIC is required for unvested LTIs to immediately vest. | | Termination Due to Death | Treatment of LTIs upon the death of a NEO is similar to treatment of LTIs for a voluntary or involuntary termination outside a CIC, with the exception that individuals under the age of 55 at the time of death are treated in the same manner as an early retirement between the ages of 55 and 60. |

  172. CEO PAY RATIO

    CEO PAY RATIO Mr. McCracken’s 2025 annual total target compensation was $13,693,140 as reflected in the Summary Compensation Table included in this Proxy Statement. Our median employee’s annual total compensation for 2025 calculated in accordance with Item 402 of Regulation S-K (which includes 2025 base salary, grant date fair value of LTI awards, annual bonus, Company contributions to retirement plan, annual allowance and other benefits) was $194,016. As a result, in accordance with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we estimate that Mr. McCracken’s 2025 annual total compensation was approximately 70.6 times that of our median employee. The median employee was determined based on actual 2025 total compensation for the period from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025, for the employee population as of December 31, 2025. We used a foreign exchange rate of C$1.00 = US$0.716 (the average exchange rate during 2025) to convert Canadian compensation into U.S. dollars for purposes of comparison. The rules for identifying the median compensated employee and calculating the pay ratio based on that employee’s annual total compensation allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, to apply certain exclusions, and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their employee populations and compensation practices. As a result, the pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported above, as other companies have different employee populations and compensation practices and may utilize different methodologies, exclusions, estimates, and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios.

  173. Certain Relationships between Information Presented in the Pay versus Performance Table

    Certain Relationships between Information Presented in the Pay versus Performance Table As described in more detail in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the Company’s executive compensation program reflects a pay-for-performance philosophy designed to align executives with shareholders. While the Company utilizes several performance measures to align executive compensation with Company performance, all of those Company measures are not presented in the Pay versus Performance table. Moreover, the Company generally seeks to incentivize long-term performance, and therefore does not specifically align the Company’s performance measures with compensation actually paid (as computed in accordance with SEC rules) for a particular year. In accordance with SEC rules, the Company is providing the following descriptions of the relationships between information presented in the Pay versus Performance table.

  177. Schedule A: Advisory Regarding Non-GAAP Measures

    Schedule A: Advisory Regarding Non-GAAP Measures Ovintiv’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 are presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Certain measures in this Proxy Statement do not have any standardized meaning as prescribed by U.S. GAAP and, therefore, are considered non-GAAP measures. These measures may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies and should not be viewed as a substitute for measures reported under U.S. GAAP. This Proxy Statement contains references to non-GAAP measures as follows: Non-GAAP Cash Flow, Non-GAAP Free Cash Flow Non-GAAP Cash Flow (or Cash Flow) is defined as cash from (used in) operating activities excluding net change in other assets and liabilities, and net change in non-cash working capital. Non-GAAP Free Cash Flow (or Free Cash Flow) is Non-GAAP Cash Flow in excess of capital expenditures, excluding net acquisitions and divestitures. Management believes these measures are useful to the Company and its investors as a measure of operating and financial performance across periods and against other companies in the industry, and are an indication of the Company’s ability to generate cash to finance capital investment programs, to service debt and to meet other financial obligations. These measures are used, along with other measures, in the calculation of certain performance targets for the Company’s management and employees. Non-GAAP Cash Flow is also referenced in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K in Part II, Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations on page 51.

    Non-GAAP Total Costs Non-GAAP Total Costs is defined as the summation of production, mineral and other taxes, upstream transportation and processing expense, upstream operating expense and administrative expense, excluding the impact of long-term incentive, restructuring, transaction and legal costs, and current expected credit losses. It is calculated as total operating expenses excluding non-upstream operating costs and non-cash items which include operating expenses from marketing activities, and the Corporate and Other segment, depreciation, depletion and amortization, impairments, accretion of asset retirement obligation, long-term incentive, restructuring, transaction and legal costs, and current expected credit losses.
