Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - June 26, 2026) - Baytex Energy Corp. (TSX: BTE) (NYSE: BTE) ("Baytex" or the "company") is pleased to announce that the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") has accepted the company's notice of intention to renew its normal course issuer bid ("NCIB"). The renewed NCIB allows Baytex to purchase up to 70,899,359 common shares during the 12-month period commencing July 2, 2026 and ending July 1, 2027 or such earlier time as the NCIB is completed or terminated at the option of Baytex.

Baytex Energy Corp. remains a Strong Buy. However, that idea is contingent on management delivering meaningful breakeven cost reductions in its heavy oil operations. BTE's current WTI $48 breakeven is high for Clearwater, lagging peers like Tamarack Valley and Headwater Exploration in cost competitiveness. Financial position is solid post-Eagle Ford sale.  But operational optimization is critical before considering expansion into new ventures like thermal.

Baytex Energy NYSE: BTE held its annual meeting of shareholders virtually, with Chair of the Board Mark Bly presiding and James Maclean, the company's chief legal officer and corporate secretary, serving as secretary of the meeting.

Baytex Energy NYSE: BTE reported a stronger-than-expected first quarter and raised its 2026 production outlook, citing outperformance across its heavy oil portfolio and continued development in the Duvernay.
