          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Except as set forth below, the reserves information incorporated by reference herein have been prepared in accordance with guidelines specified in National Instrument&#160;51-101&#8201;&#8212;&#8201;Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities (&#8220;</font><font style=" text-decoration:underline #000000 solid;letter-spacing:0.2pt;">NI&#160;51-101</font><font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">&#8221;) and the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook (&#8220;</font><font style=" text-decoration:underline #000000 solid;letter-spacing:0.2pt;">COGE Handbook</font><font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">&#8221;). There are significant differences in the types of volumes disclosed and the basis from which reserves volumes are economically determined under the SEC disclosure requirements set forth in Subpart 1200 of Regulation&#160;S-K (the &#8220;</font><font style=" text-decoration:underline #000000 solid;letter-spacing:0.2pt;">U.S. Standards</font><font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">&#8221;) and NI&#160;51-101, and the difference between reported reserves under the two disclosure standards can, therefore, be material. For example, the COGE Handbook and NI&#160;51-101 require disclosure of reserves and related future net revenue estimates based on forecast prices and costs, whereas the U.S. Standards require that reserves and related future net revenue be estimated using average prices for the previous 12&#160;months and that the standardized measure reflect discounted future net income taxes related to a company&#8217;s operations. In addition, the COGE Handbook and NI&#160;51-101 permit the presentation of reserves estimates on a &#8220;company gross&#8221; basis (representing a company&#8217;s working interest share before deduction of royalties) and &#8220;company net&#8221; basis (after the deduction of royalties and similar payments), whereas the U.S. Standards require the presentation of net reserve estimates after the deduction of royalties and similar payments only. There are also differences in the technical reserves estimation standards applicable under NI&#160;51-101 and, pursuant thereto, the COGE Handbook, and those applicable under the U.S. Standards, along with NI&#160;51-101 requiring a more granular product type classification than required by U.S. Standards. NI&#160;51-101 also requires that proved undeveloped reserves be reviewed annually for retention or reclassification if development has not proceeded as previously planned, while the U.S. Standards impose a five-year limit after initial booking for the development of proved undeveloped reserves. Finally, the SEC prohibits disclosure of oil and gas resources in SEC filings, including contingent resources, whereas Canadian securities regulatory authorities allow disclosure of oil and gas resources. Resources are different than, and should not be construed as, reserves. The foregoing is not an exhaustive summary of Canadian or U.S. reserves reporting requirements. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">From time to time, Baytex makes written or oral forward-looking statements within the meaning of certain securities laws. Certain statements in this prospectus, including information incorporated by reference into this prospectus, may contain &#8220;forward-looking statements&#8221; within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and &#8220;forward-looking information&#8221; within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation (collectively, &#8220;</font><font style=" text-decoration:underline #000000 solid;letter-spacing:0.2pt;">forward-looking statements</font><font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">&#8221;). In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as &#8220;anticipate&#8221;, &#8220;believe&#8221;, &#8220;continue&#8221;, &#8220;could&#8221;, &#8220;estimate&#8221;, &#8220;expect&#8221;, &#8220;forecast&#8221;, &#8220;intend&#8221;, &#8220;may&#8221;, &#8220;objective&#8221;, &#8220;ongoing&#8221;, &#8220;outlook&#8221;, &#8220;potential&#8221;, &#8220;project&#8221;, &#8220;plan&#8221;, &#8220;should&#8221;, &#8220;target&#8221;, &#8220;would&#8221;, &#8220;will&#8221; or similar words suggesting future outcomes, events or performance.

Pursuant to the IRRA entered into by Baytex and the Selling Shareholders in connection with the Merger, Baytex agreed to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the resale of the Registered Shares offered under this prospectus. Under the IRRA, the Selling Shareholders have certain demand registration rights as well as certain piggyback rights with respect to certain underwritten offerings conducted by Baytex for its own account or other shareholders of Baytex. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Registered Shares by the Selling Shareholders.</font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Baytex&#8217;s business is subject to uncertainties and risks. In addition to the risk factor included below, you should carefully consider and evaluate all of the information included and incorporated by reference in this prospectus, including the risk factors incorporated by reference from the <a style="-sec-extract:exhibit" href="http://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/1279495/000127949523000027/bte-20221231.htm">Annual Report</a> and the <a style="-sec-extract:exhibit" href="http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1279495/000110465923075410/tm2319727d1_6k.htm">Current Report on Form&#160;6-K filed on June&#160;27, 2023</a>, and from time to time in other filings with the SEC. Baytex encourages you to read these risk factors in their entirety. In addition to these risks, other risks and uncertainties not presently known to Baytex or that Baytex currently deems immaterial may also adversely affect its business operations and financial condition. Such risks could cause actual results to differ materially from anticipated results. This could cause the trading price of Baytex&#8217;s Common Shares to decline, perhaps significantly, and investors may lose part or all of their investment. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">The Selling Shareholders hold in the aggregate 19.7% of the issued and outstanding shares in Baytex as of June&#160;23, 2023. The Selling Shareholders have agreed, pursuant to the IRRA, to abide by customary standstill restrictions that apply from the closing of the Merger on June&#160;20, 2023 (the &#8220;</font><font style=" text-decoration:underline #000000 solid;letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Closing Date</font><font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">&#8221;) until the Selling Shareholders and their permitted transferees together cease to beneficially own at least 5% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares. The IRRA also subjects the Restricted Shares to a &#8220;lock-up&#8221; period commencing on the Closing Date, with one-third of such Restricted Shares being released from such restrictions on the date that is 90&#160;days after the Closing Date, one-third of the Restricted Shares being released from such restrictions on the date that is 180&#160;days after the Closing Date, and the remainder being released from such restrictions on the date that is 270&#160;days after the Closing Date (the &#8220;</font><font style=" text-decoration:underline #000000 solid;letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Lock-Up Period</font><font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">&#8221;). If the Selling Shareholders or their affiliates sell a substantial number of our Common Shares in the public market, the market price of the Common Shares could fall. In addition, the perception that such sales may occur could also contribute to a decline in the market price of our Common Shares. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Furthermore, as long as the Selling Shareholders maintain their shareholdings in Baytex, the Selling Shareholders could have significant influence in determining the members of the board of directors of Baytex (the &#8220;</font><font style=" text-decoration:underline #000000 solid;letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Board</font><font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">&#8221;) and the outcome of any corporate transaction or other matter submitted to the shareholders for approval, including mergers, consolidations, the sale of all or substantially all of our assets and other significant corporate actions. The concentration of ownership of the Common Shares by the Selling Shareholders may: (i)&#160;delay or deter a change of control of Baytex; (ii)&#160;deprive shareholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their Common Shares as part of a sale of Baytex; or (iii)&#160;affect the market price and liquidity of the Common Shares. Pursuant to the terms of the IRRA, the Selling Shareholders have, among other things, customary registration rights. The interests of the Selling Shareholders may differ from or be adverse to the interests of our other shareholders. The effect of these rights and the Selling Shareholders&#8217; influence may impact the price that investors are willing to pay for our Common Shares. </font>

We are registering the Registered Shares described in this prospectus pursuant to the IRRA. Under the IRRA, the Selling Shareholders also have certain demand registration rights as well as certain piggyback rights with respect to certain underwritten offerings conducted by us for our own account or other shareholders of Baytex. We are required to pay certain offering fees and expenses in connection with the registration of the Registered Shares and to indemnify the Selling Shareholders against certain liabilities. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of these Registered Shares by the Selling Shareholders. </font>

We have not independently verified this information. Because the Selling Shareholders may sell all, some or none of the Registered Shares they hold, and because the offering contemplated by this prospectus is not currently being underwritten, no estimate can be given as to the number of Registered Shares that will be held by the Selling Shareholders upon termination of the offering. The information set forth in the following table regarding the beneficial ownership after the offering is based upon the hypothetical assumption that the Selling Shareholders will sell all of the Registered Shares owned by them and covered by this prospectus.

A substantial portion of Baytex&#8217;s assets are located outside the United States, and many of Baytex&#8217;s directors and officers and some of the experts named in this prospectus are residents of jurisdictions outside of the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service within the United States upon Baytex and those directors, officers and experts, or to realize in the United States upon judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon civil liability of Baytex and such directors, officers or experts under United States federal securities laws. There is uncertainty as to the enforceability in Canada by a court in original actions, or in actions to enforce judgments of United States courts, of the civil liabilities predicated upon United States federal securities laws. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Notwithstanding the foregoing, the ABCA provides that an Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnity from Baytex in respect of all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other action or proceeding in which the Indemnified Person is involved by reason of being or having been a director or officer of Baytex or Related Body Corporate, if the Indemnified Person (i)&#160;was not judged by a court or competent authority to have committed any fault or omitted to do anything that the person ought to have done, and (ii)&#160;fulfills the Discretionary Indemnification Conditions (collectively, the &#8220;</font><font style=" text-decoration:underline #000000 solid;letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Mandatory Indemnification Conditions</font><font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">&#8221;). Baytex may advance funds to an Indemnified Person for the costs, charges and expenses of such a proceeding; however, the Indemnified Person must repay the funds if the Indemnified Person does not fulfill the Mandatory Indemnification Conditions.

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of Baytex pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, Baytex has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by Baytex of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of Baytex in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, Baytex will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. </font>
