Forward Looking Statements
Certain information included in this announcement constitutes
forward-looking information under applicable securities
legislation. Forward-looking information typically contains
statements with words such as "anticipate", "believe", "expect",
"plan", "intend", "estimate", "propose", "project" or similar words
suggesting future outcomes or statements regarding an outlook.
Forward-looking information in this announcement may include, but
is not limited to, statements concerning the use of proceeds of the
Offering, the Company's business strategy, objectives, strength and
focus and the Company's capital program for the remainder of
2023.
The forward-looking statements contained in this announcement
are based on certain key expectations and assumptions made by
Southern, including the timing of and success of future drilling,
development and completion activities, the performance of existing
wells, the performance of new wells, the availability and
performance of facilities and pipelines, the geological
characteristics of Southern's properties, the characteristics of
its assets, the successful application of drilling, completion and
seismic technology, benefits of current commodity pricing hedging
arrangements, prevailing weather conditions, prevailing legislation
affecting the oil and gas industry, commodity prices, royalty
regimes and exchange rates, the application of regulatory and
licensing requirements, the availability of capital, labour and
services, the creditworthiness of industry partners and the ability
to source and complete asset acquisitions.
Although Southern believes that the expectations and assumptions
on which the forward- looking statements are based are reasonable,
undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking
statements because Southern can give no assurance that they will
prove to be correct. Since forward-looking statements address
future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve
inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ
materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of
factors and risks. These include, but are not limited to, the risk
that the Company may apply the proceeds of the Offering differently
than as stated herein depending on future circumstances; risks
associated with the oil and gas industry in general (e.g.,
operational risks in development, exploration and production; the
uncertainty of reserve estimates; the uncertainty of estimates and
projections relating to production, costs and expenses, and health,
safety and environmental risks), constraint in the availability of
services, commodity price and exchange rate fluctuations,
geo-political risks, political and economic instability abroad,
wars (including Russia's military actions in Ukraine and the
Israel-Palestinian conflict), increased operating and capital costs
due to inflationary pressures, changes in legislation impacting the
oil and gas industry, adverse weather or break-up conditions and
uncertainties resulting from potential delays or changes in plans
with respect to exploration or development projects or capital
expenditures. These and other risks are set out in more detail in
the Prospectus Supplement, the Base Shelf Prospectus and Southern's
most recent management's discussion and analysis and annual
information form, which are available under the Company's SEDAR+
profile at www.sedarplus.ca.
The forward-looking information contained in this announcement
is made as of the date hereof and Southern undertakes no obligation
to update publicly or revise any forward-looking information,
whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise,
unless required by applicable securities laws. The forward-looking
information contained in this announcement is expressly qualified
by this cautionary statement.
