Vermilion Energy Inc. ■ Page 4 ■ 2023 Annual Information Form

The forward-looking statements or information contained in this annual information form are made as of the date hereof and the Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements or information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless required by applicable securities laws.

Presentation of Oil and Gas Information

Oil and gas reserves and production

All oil and natural gas reserve information contained in this annual information form is derived from the McDaniel & Associates Report and has been prepared and presented in accordance with the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook (“COGEH”) and National Instrument 51-101 Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities ("NI 51-101"). The actual oil and natural gas reserves and future production will be greater than or less than the estimates provided in this annual information form. The estimated future net revenue from the production of the disclosed oil and natural gas reserves does not represent the fair market value of these reserves.

Under NI 51-01, disclosure of production volumes should include segmentation by product type as defined in the instrument. In this report, references to "crude oil" and "light and medium crude oil" mean "light crude oil and medium crude oil" and references to "natural gas" mean "conventional natural gas".

Natural gas volumes have been converted on the basis of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil equivalent. Barrels of oil equivalent (“boe”) may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.

Additional Non-GAAP and Other Specified Financial Measures

This AIF includes references to certain financial and performance measures which do not have standardized meanings prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other issuer. These measures include:

●

Fund flows from operations: Fund flows from operations (FFO) is a total of segments measure most directly comparable to net earnings and is comprised of sales less royalties, transportation, operating, G&A, corporate income tax, PRRT, windfall taxes, interest expense, realized loss on derivatives, realized foreign exchange gain (loss), and realized other income. The measure is used to assess the contribution of each business unit to Vermilion's ability to generate income necessary to pay dividends, repay debt, fund asset retirement obligations and make capital investments. A reconciliation to Net Earnings can be found within the "Non-GAAP and Other Specified Financial Measures" section of the December 31, 2023 MD&A available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

●

Operating Netbacks: Operating Netbacks is a non-GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to net earnings and is calculated as sales less royalties, operating expense, transportation costs, PRRT, and realized hedging gains and losses presented on a per unit basis. Management assesses operating netback as a measure of the profitability and efficiency of our field operations. A reconciliation to the primary financial statement measures can be found within "Supplemental Table 1: Netbacks" of the December 31, 2023 MD&A available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

●

Cash dividends per share: Represents actual cash dividends paid per share by the Company during the relevant periods. Information is included in this document by reference, more information can be found within the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section of the December 31, 2023 MD&A available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

●

Capital expenditures: Represents the sum of drilling and development and exploration and evaluation costs from the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and most directly comparable to cash flows used in investing activities. Information is included in this document by reference, more information and a reconciliation to primary financial statement measures can be found within the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section of the December 31, 2023 MD&A available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca. Capital expenditures are also referred to as E&D capital.

In addition, this AIF includes references to certain financial measures which are not specified, defined, or determined under IFRS and are therefore considered non-GAAP and other specified financial measures. These financial measures are unlikely to be comparable to similar financial measures presented by other issuers.

Description of the Business

Vermilion is an international energy producer that seeks to create value through the acquisition, exploration, development and optimization of producing assets in North America, Europe and Australia. Our business model emphasizes free cash flow generation and returning capital to investors when economically warranted, augmented by value-adding acquisitions. Vermilion's operations are focused on the exploitation of light oil and liquids-rich natural gas conventional and unconventional resource plays in North America and the exploration and development of conventional natural gas and oil opportunities in Europe and Australia.

Vermilion's priorities are health and safety, the environment, and profitability, in that order. Nothing is more important to us than the safety of the public and those who work with us, and the protection of our natural surroundings. We have been recognized by leading ESG rating agencies for our transparency on, and management of, key environmental, social and governance issues. In addition, we emphasize strategic community investment in each of our operating areas.

Vermilion has operations in two geographic regions: North America and International. Vermilion's business within these regions is managed at the country level through business units which form the basis of the Company's operating segments. These business units and the material crude oil and natural gas properties, facilities and installations in which Vermilion has an interest are discussed below.

(1)	"Gross Reserves" are Vermilion's working interest (operating or non-operating) share before deduction of royalty obligations and without including any royalty interests of Vermilion.

Canada Business Unit

Vermilion’s Canadian operations are primarily focused in the West Pembina region of West Central Alberta, in southeast Saskatchewan and Manitoba, and in the Mica property straddling the Alberta and British Columbia borders. In West Pembina, the Company targets condensate-rich Mannville natural gas and Cardium light oil, while in southeast Saskatchewan and Manitoba the Company targets light oil in the Mississippian Midale, Frobisher/Alida and Ratcliffe formations. At Mica, the Company targets tight oil and shale gas in the Montney formation.

Vermilion holds an average 79% working interest in 721,732 (569,117 net) acres of developed land, and an average 80% working interest in 330,154 (265,279 net) acres of undeveloped land in Canada. Vermilion had 637 (481.5 net) producing conventional natural gas and shale gas wells and 2,043 (1,197.1 net) producing light and medium crude oil wells in Canada as at December 31, 2023.

Vermilion has access to ample facilities and processing capacity across the major plays in its Canadian portfolio. In West Central Alberta, Vermilion's operations are concentrated in core areas where the Company owns and operates the large majority of associated key infrastructure including pipelines, compressor stations, oil batteries and gas plants, many of which have surplus capacity for future production. Furthermore, the Company is interconnected in several locations with third party midstream infrastructure that provides significant capacity for growth. In Saskatchewan, where operations are focused on light crude oil, Vermilion owns and operates an extensive network of pipelines and oil batteries that also have surplus capacity for future production. At Mica, the Company has infrastructure in place for current operations, with short-term growth plans currently being permitted for construction and a long-term development plan in place targeting production of 28,000 boe/d. The Company's high degree of operating control and access to key infrastructure across our Canadian properties allows Vermilion to drive operating efficiencies in the field while supporting future growth opportunities.

During 2023, Vermilion drilled or participated in 46 (35.9 net) wells across our Canadian assets. In 2024, we plan to drill or participate in 18 (17.0 net) light crude oil wells in Saskatchewan, nine (9.0 net) liquids-rich conventional natural gas wells and four (4.0 net) light crude oil wells in Alberta, and 11 (11.0 net) tight oil and shale gas wells in the Montney.

United States Business Unit

Vermilion entered the United States in 2014 through the acquisition of land and producing assets in the East Finn crude oil field in the Powder River Basin of northeastern Wyoming and expanded its position through acquisitions of mineral land and producing assets in the Hilight crude oil field, located approximately 40 miles northwest of the East Finn assets, in 2018 and 2021. In December 2023, the Company divested of non-core assets in East Finn. The Company's assets include 111,685 (83,942 net) acres of land in the Powder River basin, of which 31% is undeveloped. Vermilion had 159 (130.9 net) producing light and medium crude oil wells in the United States as at December 31, 2023. The majority of our working interest ownership in Wyoming is Company operated.

Vermilion Energy Inc. ■ Page 7 ■ 2023 Annual Information Form

During 2023, Vermilion continued to focus on the Turner Sand development in the Powder River Basin, drilling 18 (8.4 net) light and medium crude oil wells on its Hilight asset. Included in the 2023 well count was the Company's participation in the drilling of ten (3.2 net) non-operated Parkman wells and two (0.2 net) non-operated Niobrara wells. In 2024, Vermilion intends to mitigate declines through maintenance capital spending and participation in non - operated activity. We will also continue to monitor and evaluate industry activity in the emerging Niobrara play to assess the future potential on our Hilight lands, where we have 15,000 net acres prospective for the Niobrara and Parkman.

France Business Unit

Vermilion entered France in 1997 and completed three additional acquisitions in subsequent years. Vermilion is the largest oil producer in the country with approximately two-thirds of the domestic market share. The Company's oil is priced with reference to Dated Brent.

Vermilion's main producing areas in France are located in the Aquitaine Basin which is located southwest of Bordeaux, France and in the Paris Basin, located just east of Paris. The two major fields in the Paris Basin area are Champotran and Chaunoy and the two major fields in the Aquitaine Basin are Parentis and Cazaux. Vermilion operates several oil batteries in the country and, given the legacy nature of these assets, the throughput capability of these batteries exceeds any projected future requirements. Vermilion holds an average 96% working interest in 257,394 (248,142 net) acres of developed land and an average 100% working interest in 63,010 (63,010 net) acres of undeveloped land in the Aquitaine and Paris Basins. Vermilion had 305 (299.0 net) producing light and medium crude oil wells in France as at December 31, 2023.

In 2024, we plan to drill two (2.0 net) light and medium crude oil wells in the Cazaux field. We also intend to continue our ongoing program of workovers and well optimizations to maintain production by mitigating declines.

Netherlands Business Unit

Vermilion entered the Netherlands in 2004 and is the second largest onshore operator in the country. Vermilion's natural gas production in the Netherlands is priced off of the TTF index.

Vermilion's Netherlands assets consist of 28 onshore concessions (100% operated) and 17 offshore concessions (non-operated). Production consists primarily of natural gas with a small amount of associated natural gas liquids. Vermilion’s total land position in the Netherlands covers 1,604,206 (844,409 net) acres at an average 54% working interest, of which 90% is undeveloped. Vermilion had 80 (32.7 net) producing conventional natural gas wells as at December 31, 2023.

During 2023, the Company drilled two (1.0 net) conventional natural gas well in the Netherlands. In 2024, we plan to mitigate declines through maintenance capital spending. Vermilion expects that its inventory of potentially high-impact exploration and development opportunities in the Netherlands will maintain or moderately grow the Company's production base in the country.

Germany Business Unit

Vermilion entered Germany in 2014 through the acquisition of a 25% non-operated interest in natural gas producing assets. In December 2016, Vermilion completed an acquisition of crude oil and natural gas producing properties that provided Vermilion with its first operated position in the country. Vermilion holds a significant undeveloped land base in Germany as a result of an extensive farm-in agreement the Company entered into in 2015. In 2021, Vermilion completed two minor acquisitions, increasing the Company’s non-operated working interest in certain assets to 50%. Vermilion's natural gas production in Germany is priced off the THE index, which is highly correlated to the TTF benchmark, and Vermilion's light and medium crude oil production is priced with reference to Dated Brent.

Vermilion’s producing assets in Germany consist of operated and non-operated interests in eleven natural gas fields and nine light and medium crude oil fields with extensive infrastructure in place. Vermilion had 75 (60.6 net) producing light and medium crude oil wells and 23 (12.9 net) producing conventional natural gas wells as at December 31, 2023.

Vermilion's land position in northwest Germany is comprised of 108,675 (55,951 net) developed acres and 1,512,617 (693,226 net) undeveloped acres. In addition, the Company holds a 50% equity interest in Hannoversche Erdölleitung GmbH ("HEG"), a joint venture company created in 1959 that collects and transports crude oil through a 185 km network of infrastructure from the Hannover region to rail loading facilities in Hannover.

During 2023, Vermilion drilled two (2.0 net) light and medium crude oil wells and progressed the Company's deep gas exploration and development plans. In 2024, Vermilion plans to drill two (1.6 net) deep gas exploration conventional natural gas wells. The results from this program will provide valuable information in assessing the future potential on the approximate 700,000 net acres of undeveloped land we have in Germany.

Vermilion Energy Inc. ■ Page 8 ■ 2023 Annual Information Form

Ireland Business Unit

Vermilion has a 56.5% operated interest in the offshore Corrib natural gas field and related processing facilities located off the northwest coast of Ireland. Vermilion initially acquired an 18.5% non-operated interest in 2009. In 2018, Vermilion entered into a strategic partnership with the Canadian Pension Plan Investment Board ("CPPIB"), as a result of which Vermilion acquired an additional 1.5% working interest and assumed operatorship of Corrib. In 2023 Vermilion purchased all of the outstanding shares of Equinor Energy Ireland Limited ("EEIL") from Equinor ASA, adding an incremental 36.5% interest in the Corrib Natural Gas Project.

Corrib first began natural gas production in late December 2015. Production volumes reached full plant capacity of approximately 350 mmcf/d (gross) at the end of 2016. Production plateaued at this level until decline started at the beginning of 2018. The Corrib field constitutes 100% of Ireland's domestic natural gas production.

Central and Eastern Europe ("CEE") Business Unit

Vermilion established its CEE business unit in 2014 with a head office in Budapest, Hungary. The CEE business unit is responsible for business development in the CEE, including managing the exploration and development opportunities associated with the Company's land holdings in Hungary, Slovakia and Croatia.

Vermilion's land position in the CEE consists of 514,969 (514,969 net) acres in Croatia, 300,571 (300,571 net) acres in Hungary and 97,960 (48,980 net) acres in Slovakia. Currently, 99% of Vermilion's land position in the CEE is undeveloped. In 2022, the Company let certain non-prospective licenses in Hungary expire.

During 2023, Vermilion did not drill in Croatia or Hungary. The Company continued to advance the gas plant on the SA-10 block in Croatia in preparation for the tie-in of two previously drilled conventional natural gas wells. Permitting was successful in the fourth quarter of 2023 and the facility is expected to begin processing in mid-2024. In 2024, the Company plans to drill four (4.0 net) exploration wells on the SA-07 block in Croatia.

Australia Business Unit

Vermilion holds a 100% operated working interest in the Wandoo offshore crude oil field and related production facilities, located on Western Australia's northwest shelf. Vermilion acquired its interest over two acquisitions completed in 2005 and 2007. Production is sourced from 19 producing well-bores including five dual laterals that are tied into two platforms, Wandoo 'A' and Wandoo 'B'. Wandoo 'B' is permanently manned, houses the required production facilities and incorporates 400,000 bbls of crude oil storage within the platform's concrete gravity structure. The Wandoo 'B' facilities are capable of processing 208,000 bbl/d of total fluid to separate crude oil from produced water. Vermilion's land position in the Wandoo field is comprised of 59,552 acres (gross and net).

In 2023, Vermilion did not drill any wells, and the Company does not expect to drill additional Australian wells in 2024. The Company intends to manage its Australian production and related capital investment programs to achieve corporate targets while meeting long-term supply requirements of our customers.

General Development of the Business

Three Year History and Outlook

The following describes the development of Vermilion's business over the last three completed financial years.

2021

Vermilion achieved annual production of 85,408 boe/d on total E&D capital investment of $375 million. E&D capital investment in 2021 was limited as the Company focused on preserving liquidity, maximizing free cash flow and reducing debt.

During the third quarter of 2021, the Company completed a strategic acquisition which included 20,000 net acres of land adjacent to its Hilight field in Wyoming, with production of approximately 1,500 boe/d. Total consideration for the acquisition was US$76 million.

On September 8, 2021, Vermilion appointed Dion Hatcher as President effective January 1, 2022, replacing Curtis Hicks as President (who remained with the Company as an advisor until April 1, 2022). At the time of his appointment, Mr. Hatcher had over 25 years of industry experience and had spent the last 15 years in a variety of leadership roles during his tenure at Vermilion, most recently in the role of Vice President, North America.

On November 29, 2021, Vermilion announced an agreement to acquire an incremental 36.5% working interest in Corrib from Equinor ASA, increasing the Company's operated ownership to 56.5% and adding approximately 7,700 boe/d of production for total consideration of $556 million, before closing adjustments and contingent payment. The acquisition has an effective date of January 1, 2022, and is anticipated to close in 2023 after all requisite approvals have been received. This acquisition consolidates interest in a high margin, low decline and low emission asset, while increasing exposure to premium priced European natural gas and rebalances Vermilion's international weighting.

Vermilion continued to deliver superior ESG performance based on rankings by third party rating agencies in 2021. Vermilion ranked at the top of its peer group in 2021 in the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment (“CSA”). The Company was also selected for The Sustainability Yearbook 2022, which recognizes that our CSA sustainability performance is within the top 15% of our industry (S&P Global’s Upstream Oil & Gas and Integrated category). Vermilion maintained its rating of "AA" on a scale of AAA (leader) to CCC (laggard) in the MSCI ESG Ratings assessment, which reflects exposure to industry-specific ESG risks and the ability to manage those risks. Vermilion received a B in 2021 for both CDP Climate and CDP Water submissions, a combined performance that places it tied for the top decile of oil and gas companies globally. In August 2021, Vermilion released its 2021 Sustainability Report, marking the Company's 8th year of ESG reporting. Note that effective in 2022, Vermilion’s reporting in alignment with the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosure relating to: Governance is located in our management proxy circular for our annual meeting of shareholders, and relating to Strategy, Risk Management, and Metrics and Targets in our annual MD&A. This information is also located in the Energy Transition section of our Sustainability Report, available online at www.vermilionenergy.com/sustainability.

2022

Vermilion achieved annual production of 85,187 boe/d on total E&D capital investment of $552 million. During the second quarter of 2022, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding securities of Leucrotta Exploration Inc. ("Leucrotta") for total consideration of $500 million. The primary asset acquired pursuant to the Leucrotta acquisition was the Mica property, comprised of 81,000 gross (77,000 net) contiguous acres of Montney mineral rights in the Peace River Arch straddling the Alberta and British Columbia borders. At the time of acquisition, we conservatively identified 275 multi-zone, extended reach, drilling prospects, representing an expected two decades or more of low-risk, self-funding, high-deliverability drilling inventory with strong rates of return.

In March 2022, Vermilion reinstated a quarterly dividend of $0.06 per share, which was subsequently increased to $0.08 per share in August 2022. In July 2022, Vermilion received TSX approval for the NCIB, allowing the Company to purchase up to 16,076,666 common shares, representing approximately 10% of its public float as at June 22, 2022, over a twelve month period commencing on July 6, 2022. In 2022, Vermilion declared $46 million in dividends and repurchased 2.3 million shares pursuant to the NCIB for a total of $72 million.

In April 2022, Vermilion issued US$400 million aggregate principal amount of eight-year senior unsecured notes bearing interest at a rate of 6.875% per annum, extended the maturity date of the Company's revolving credit facility to May 29, 2026 (from May 31, 2024), and reduced the total facility amount to Vermilion's targeted level of $1.6 billion (from $2.1 billion).

Subsequent to year-end, we signed an agreement to sell certain assets in southeast Saskatchewan. The assets are comprised of approximately 5,500 boe/d of non-core light oil production spread across the greater Arcola and Queensdale areas of southeast Saskatchewan. Total cash consideration is $225 million, before closing adjustments. The transaction has an effective date of September 1, 2022 and is expected to close in March 2023.

Vermilion's commitment to reducing the environmental impact of traditional energy production continued to be reflected in superior ESG performance based on rankings by third party rating agencies in 2022. Vermilion ranked top of our peer group in the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment (“CSA”). The Company improved its rating to "AAA" on a scale of AAA (leader) to CCC (laggard) in the MSCI ESG Ratings assessment, which reflects exposure to industry-specific ESG risks and the ability to manage those risks. Vermilion received an A- and a B for CDP Climate and CDP Water submissions, respectively. In July 2022, Vermilion released its 2022 Sustainability Report, marking the Company's 9th year of ESG reporting. Note that effective in 2022, Vermilion’s reporting aligned with the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosure relating to Governance (located in our management proxy circular for our annual meeting of shareholders), and relating to Strategy, Risk Management, and Metrics and Targets (located in our annual MD&A). This information is also located in the Energy Transition section of our Sustainability Report, available online at www.vermilionenergy.com/sustainability.

2023

Vermilion achieved annual production of 83,994 boe/d on total E&D capital investment of $590 million. On March 31, 2023, Vermilion completed the purchase of all of the outstanding shares of EEIL from Equinor ASA for $192 million, net of cash and working capital deficit acquired. The acquisition added an incremental 36.5% interest in the Corrib Natural Gas Project, increasing Vermilion's operated interest to 56.5%, and making Vermilion the largest provider of domestic natural gas in Ireland.

In January 2023, Vermilion increased the quarterly dividend to $0.10 per share, effective with the Q1 2023 dividend payable in April 2023. In July 2023, Vermilion received TSX approval for renewal of the Company's NCIB, allowing the Company to purchase up to 16,308,587 common shares, representing approximately 10% of its public float as at June 28, 2028, over a twelve month period commencing on July 12, 2023. In total in 2023, Vermilion declared $65 million in dividends and repurchased 5.4 million shares pursuant to the NCIB for a total of $96 million.

In March 2023, Vermilion closed the sale of non-core assets in southeast Saskatchewan for net proceeds of $182 million. The divestment was part of our strategy to re-position Vermilion for long term success by high-grading our North American inventory, reducing unit cost and accelerating the timeline of achieving our debt reduction targets.

In May 2023, the Company's operations in West Central Alberta were impacted by forest fires. In response, the Company temporarily shut-in approximately 30,000 boe/d of production while we assessed the risk to our operations. Once the immediate risk from the forest fires had eased, we inspected all of our key assets and confirmed that there was no major damage to our facilities or well sites, which allowed remaining production to be brought back online as soon as it was safe to do so.

In September 2023, the Company successfully completed the remaining inspection and repair work on our Wandoo facility and restarted production on the Wandoo platform in Australia following extended maintenance downtime.

Vermilion's commitment to reducing the environmental impact of traditional energy production continued to be reflected in superior ESG performance based on rankings by third party rating agencies in 2023. Vermilion ranked in the top decile of our industry in the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment (“CSA”). The Company maintained its "AAA" rating on a scale of AAA (leader) to CCC (laggard) in the MSCI ESG Ratings assessment, which reflects exposure to industry-specific ESG risks and the ability to manage those risks. Vermilion received an A- and a B for CDP Climate and CDP Water submissions, respectively. In July 2023, Vermilion released its 2023 Sustainability Report, marking the Company's 10th year of ESG reporting.

Outlook

In December 2023, Vermilion announced an E&D capital budget for 2024 of $600 to 625 million, with corresponding production guidance of 82,000 to 86,000 boe/d, assuming a mid-year start-up of the new BC Montney battery and Croatia gas plant. In conjunction with the 2024 budget release, the Company also announced its plan to increase the quarterly dividend to $0.12 per share in Q1 2024 and increase the percentage of free cash flow allocated to return of capital from 30% of excess free cash flow to 50% of excess free cash flow, beginning April 1, 2024. On March 6, 2024, in conjunction with the release of the 2023 Annual Report, the Company announced a capital return target of 50% of excess free cash flow ona full-year basis for 2024. Excess free cash flow is defined as free cash flow less a deduction for asset retirement obligations settled and capital lease payments, which are ongoing costs associated with running our business, and more accurately reflects the free cash available to return to shareholders. Vermilion's business model allows for flexibility in capital allocation, including the allocation between capital investment, acquisitions, debt repayment

and shareholder returns. The Company intends to fund our return of capital and E&D capital investment from internally generated cash flow from operating activities.

Statement of Reserves Data and Other Oil and Gas Information

Reserves and future net revenue

The following is a summary of the crude oil and natural gas reserves and the value of future net revenue of Vermilion as evaluated by McDaniel & Associates in a report dated March 5, 2024 with an effective date of December 31, 2023. Pricing used in the forecast price evaluations is set forth in the notes to the tables.

Reserves and other oil and gas information contained in this section is effective December 31, 2023 unless otherwise stated.

All evaluations of future net revenue set forth in the tables below are stated after overriding and lessor royalties, Crown royalties, freehold royalties, mineral taxes, direct lifting costs, normal allocated overhead and future capital investments, including abandonment and reclamation obligations. Future net revenues estimated by the McDaniel & Associates Report do not represent the fair market value of the reserves. Other assumptions relating to the costs, prices for future production and other matters are included in the McDaniel & Associates Report. There is no assurance that the future price and cost assumptions used in the McDaniel & Associates Report will prove accurate and variances could be material.

Reserves are established using deterministic methodology. Total proved reserves are established at the 90 percent probability (P90) level. There is a 90 percent probability that the actual reserves recovered will be equal to or greater than the P90 reserves. Total proved plus probable reserves are established at the 50 percent probability (P50) level. There is a 50 percent probability that the actual reserves recovered will be equal to or greater than the P50 reserves.

The Report on Reserves Data by Independent Qualified Reserves Evaluator or Auditor in Form 51-101F2 and the Report of Management and Directors on Oil and Gas Disclosure in Form 51-101F3 are contained in Schedules "A" and "B", respectively.

Notes:

(1)

The pricing assumptions used in the McDaniel & Associates Report with respect to net present value of future net revenue (forecast) as well as the inflation rates used for operating and capital costs are set forth in “Forecast Prices used in Estimates”. McDaniel & Associates is an independent qualified reserves evaluator appointed pursuant to NI 51-101.

(2)

"Gross Reserves" are Vermilion's working interest (operating or non-operating) share before deduction of royalty obligations and without including any royalty interests of Vermilion. "Net Reserves" are Vermilion's working interest (operating or non-operating) share after deduction of royalty obligations, plus Vermilion's royalty interests in reserves.

(3)	"Proved" reserves are those reserves that can be estimated with a high degree of certainty to be recoverable. It is likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the estimated proved reserves.

(4)	"Probable" reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves. It is equally likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will be greater or less than the sum of the estimated proved plus probable reserves.

(5)	"Developed" reserves are those reserves that are expected to be recovered from existing wells and installed facilities or, if facilities have not been installed, that would involve a low expenditure (e.g. when compared to the cost of drilling a well) to put the reserves on production.

(6)

"Developed Producing" reserves are those reserves that are expected to be recovered from completion intervals open at the time of the estimate. These reserves may be currently producing or, if shut-in, they must have previously been on production, and the date of resumption of production must be known with reasonable certainty.

(7)	"Developed Non-Producing" reserves are those reserves that either have not been on production, or have previously been on production, but are shut in, and the date of resumption of production is unknown.

(8)

"Undeveloped" reserves are those reserves expected to be recovered from known accumulations where a significant expenditure (for example, when compared to the cost of drilling a well) is required to render them capable of production. They must fully meet the requirements of the reserves classification (proved, probable, possible) to which they are assigned.

Notes:

(1)

The pricing assumptions used in the McDaniel & Associates Report with respect to net present value of future net revenue (forecast) as well as the inflation rates used for operating and capital costs are set forth in “Forecast Prices used in Estimates”. McDaniel & Associates is an independent qualified reserves evaluator appointed pursuant to NI 51-101.

(2)	"Proved" reserves are those reserves that can be estimated with a high degree of certainty to be recoverable. It is likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the estimated proved reserves.

(3)	"Probable" reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves. It is equally likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will be greater or less than the sum of the estimated proved plus probable reserves.

(4)

"Future Income Taxes" are calculated using future net revenue before income taxes as shown, after incorporating Vermilion's existing tax pools, corporate charge-outs, and related expenditures. This calculation applies the year-end statutory rate, taking into account future tax rates already legislated.

(5)

Capital Development Costs include the costs for the drilling, completion, and tie-in of wells, the construction of production and processing facilities, major facilities projects and well workovers. For the purposes of determining Future Net Revenue, costs related to the replacement of certain downhole and facilities equipment as well as facility turnarounds are included in Operating Costs.

(6)	Abandonment and Reclamation Costs include all entities with associated reserves included in the McDaniel & Associates Report. Further information on Abandonment and reclamation costs can be found in the MD&A Report on our website at www.vermilionenergy.com or www.sedarplus.ca

Notes:

(1)	"Proved" reserves are those reserves that can be estimated with a high degree of certainty to be recoverable. It is likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the estimated proved reserves.

(2)	"Probable" reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves. It is equally likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will be greater or less than the sum of the estimated proved plus probable reserves.

(3)

The pricing assumptions used in the McDaniel & Associates Report with respect to net present value of future net revenue (forecast) as well as the inflation rates used for operating and capital costs are set forth in “Forecast Prices used in Estimates”. McDaniel & Associates is an independent qualified reserves evaluator appointed pursuant to NI 51-101.

(4)	For reporting purposes, “Total Oil” is the sum of Light Crude Oil and Medium Crude Oil, Heavy Crude Oil and Tight Oil and "Total Gas" is the sum of Conventional Natural Gas, Coal Bed Methane and Shale Gas.

(5)	“Extensions & Improved Recovery" are additions to booked volumes resulting from a capital expenditure in previously discovered reservoirs

•

Canada - Extensions primarily attributed to Mica Shale Gas development.

•

USA - Extensions were booked mainly in the Niobrara, based on successful 2023 drilling.

(6)	“Technical Revisions" are positive or negative revisions to an estimate resulting from new technical data or revised interpretations on previously assigned volumes, performance, development schedule and operating costs.

•

Canada - Negative technical revisions to Light and Medium Crude Oil in Canada are primarily attributable to corporate reallocation of near-term capital to our Mica asset, resulting in the prioritized removal of certain undeveloped locations and associated reserves in the Alberta Cardium and Saskatchewan Mississippian, which precluded their development within the period defined by the COGE handbook.

•

Canada - Negative technical revisions in Conventional Gas were primarily related to updated reserve forecasts on producing entities in Alberta.

Vermilion Energy Inc. ■ Page 34 ■ 2023 Annual Information Form

•

Canada - Negative technical revisions in Shale Gas were primarily driven by changes to the development plan adjustments in our Mica Asset to accelerate development in the BC portion of the play. These were partially offset by positive technical revisions realized on two 2023 Mica drills from the 16-18 Pad.

•

USA - Performance based negative technical revisions were primarily attributed to older unitized gas assets, and additionally impacted by increased costs.Proved and Probable negative technical revisions are reflective of new type curves for the still emerging undeveloped plays in the Parkman and Turner.

•

Ireland - The negative technical revision is associated with the cancellation of an undeveloped location, as the latest internal technical evaluation affirms that our current well development will effectively drain the economic reservoir.

•

Germany - Positive technical revisions on our light & medium crude oil assets in Germany were primarily related to strong production results on recent drills. These revisions were partially offset by some negative revisions realized on select producing conventional natural gas assets based on historic performance.

•

Netherlands - Positive technical revisions were primarily related to new onstream wells, and positive performance revisions on producing wells

⁽⁷⁾	"Acquisitions" are positive additions to volume estimates because of purchasing interests in oil and gas properties.

•

Canada - Acquisition volume changes are primarily due to a tuck-in acquisition in Alberta.

•

Ireland - Acquisition volume is associated with the increased working interest in Corrib.

⁽⁸⁾	"Economic factors" are positive or negative revisions resulting from changes in market price outlook, inflation, or regulatory changes.

⁽⁹⁾	"Dispositions" are negative changes to volume estimates because of divesting of interests in oil and gas properties.

•

USA - Disposition volumes are attributable to the sale of non-core assets in East Finn.

•

Canada - Disposition volumes are mainly associated with the sale of select non-core assets in southeast Saskatchewan.

Undeveloped reserves

Proved undeveloped reserves are those reserves expected to be recovered from known accumulations where a significant expenditure (for example, when compared to the cost of drilling a well) is required to render them capable of production. These reserves have a 90% probability of being recovered. Vermilion's current plan is to develop these reserves in the following five years. The pace of development of these reserves is influenced by many factors, including but not limited to, the outcomes of yearly drilling and reservoir evaluations, changes in commodity pricing, changes in capital allocations, changing technical conditions, regulatory changes and impact of future acquisitions and dispositions. As new information becomes available these reserves are reviewed and development plans are revised accordingly.

With Vermilion's extensive portfolio of opportunities, which also include resource plays and longer term projects, it would be impracticable to fully develop the entire portfolio of booked opportunities within two years. The development of these reserves has been based on planned and prioritized capital activity levels. The majority of the proved reserves are planned to be on stream within a three-year time frame, which represents approximately 61% of the net undeveloped location count, as well as 69% of the net total future development capital. All development is estimated to be completed within five years.

Probable undeveloped reserves are those reserves expected to be recovered from known accumulations where a significant expenditure (for example, when compared to the cost of drilling a well) is required to render them capable of production. These reserves have a 50% probability of being recovered. Vermilion's current plan is to develop these reserves over the next seven years. In general, development of these reserves requires additional evaluation data to increase the probability of success to a level that favorably ranks the project against other projects in Vermilion's inventory. This increases the timeline for the development of these reserves. This timetable may be altered depending on outside market forces, changes in capital allocations and impact of future acquisitions and dispositions.

The Proved Plus Probable development is scheduled beyond two years with a balanced development plan to have the majority of locations on stream within five years, representing 82% of the net Probable locations, and 90% of the net future development capital spend.

Future development costs

The table below sets out the future development costs deducted in the estimation of future net revenue attributable to total proved reserves and total proved plus probable reserves (using forecast prices and costs). The future development cost estimates disclosed below are associated with reserves as evaluated by McDaniel & Associates. The future development cost estimates will differ from the costs ultimately incurred by Vermilion due to a number of factors, including costs incurred for properties that do not have associated reserves as evaluated by McDaniel & Associates and economic factors that may alter development pace and project selection.

Vermilion expects to source its capital expenditure requirements from internally generated cash flow and, as appropriate, from Vermilion’s existing credit facility or equity or debt financing. It is anticipated that costs of funding the future development costs will not impact development of its properties or Vermilion’s reserves or future net revenue.

Work commitments on these lands are categorized as seismic acquisition, geophysical studies, or well commitments. No such rights are expected to expire within one year for Australia, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands, and Slovakia. Vermilion currently has no material work commitments in Australia, Canada, Ireland, the Netherlands and the United States. Vermilion's work commitments with respect to its European lands held are estimated to be $46.4 million in the next year.

Vermilion’s properties with no attributed reserves do not have any significant abandonment and reclamation costs. All properties with no attributed reserves do not have high expected development or operating costs or contractual sales obligations to produce and sell at substantially lower prices than could be realized.

Marketing

The nature of Vermilion’s operations results in exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices, interest rates, and foreign currency exchange rates. Vermilion monitors and, when appropriate, uses derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to these fluctuations. All transactions of this nature entered into by Vermilion are related to an underlying financial position or to future crude oil and natural gas production. Vermilion does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. Vermilion has not obtained collateral or other security to support its financial derivatives as management reviews the creditworthiness of its counterparties prior to entering into derivative contracts.

During the normal course of business, Vermilion may also enter into fixed price arrangements to sell a portion of its production or purchase commodities for operational use.

Vermilion’s outstanding risk management positions as at December 31, 2023 are summarized in Supplemental Table 2: Hedges, included in the Company’s 2023 Management’s Discussion and Analysis, dated March 6, 2024, available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca, under Vermilion’s SEDAR+ profile.

Description of Capital Structure

Credit ratings

Credit ratings affect the Company's ability to obtain short-term and long-term financing and the cost of such financing. Additionally, the ability of the Company to engage in certain collateralized business activities on a cost effective basis depends on the Company's credit ratings. A reduction in the credit rating of the Company or the Company's debt or a negative change in the Company's ratings outlook could adversely affect the Company's cost of financing and its access to sources of liquidity and capital. In addition, changes in credit ratings may affect the Company's ability to enter into ordinary course hedging arrangements or contracts with customers and suppliers.

Credit ratings are intended to provide investors with an independent measure of the credit quality of an issuer of securities. The credit ratings accorded to the Senior Unsecured Notes and the Company are not recommendations to purchase, hold or sell such securities and are not a comment upon the market price of the Company's securities or their suitability for a particular investor. There is no assurance that any rating will remain in effect for any given period of time or that any rating will not be revised or withdrawn entirely by a rating agency in the future if, in its judgment, circumstances so warrant. A revision or withdrawal of a credit rating could have a material adverse effect on the pricing or liquidity of the Senior Unsecured Notes or the common shares in any secondary markets. Vermilion does not undertake any obligation to maintain the ratings or to advise holders of the Senior Unsecured Notes or the common shares of any change in ratings. Each agency's rating should be evaluated independently of any other agency's rating.

As at March 6, 2024, Vermilion had the following credit ratings from S&P Global Ratings ("S&P"), Moody's Investors Service (“Moody’s”), and Fitch Ratings (“Fitch”):

Rating Agency	Company Rating	Outlook	Senior Unsecured Notes
S&P ⁽¹⁾	B+ ⁽¹⁾	Stable	BB- ⁽⁴⁾
Moody's ⁽²⁾	B1 ⁽²⁾	Stable	B3 ⁽⁵⁾
Fitch ⁽³⁾	BB- ⁽³⁾	Stable	BB- ⁽⁶⁾

Notes:

⁽¹⁾

S&P rates long-term corporate credit ratings by rating categories ranging from a high of "AAA" to a low of "D". Ratings from AA to CCC may be modified by the addition of a plus (+) or minus (-) sign to show relative standing within the major rating categories. In addition, S&P may add a rating outlook of “positive”, “negative” or “stable” which assesses the potential direction of a long-term credit rating over the intermediate term (typically six months to two years). An obligor rated “B” is within the sixth highest of the ten categories, and is characterized by S&P as more vulnerable in the near term than obligors rated "BB", but has the capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation. However, it faces major ongoing uncertainties and exposure to adverse business, financial or economic conditions, which could lead to the obligor’s inadequate capacity to meet its financial commitments.

⁽²⁾

Moody's corporate family ratings are on a rating scale that ranges from Aaa to C, which represents the highest to lowest opinions of creditworthiness. Moody’s appends numerical modifiers 1, 2, and 3 to each generic rating classification from Aa through Caa, with 3 indicating a ranking in the lower end of the generic rating category. A rating of B1 by Moody’s is within the sixth highest of nine categories. An obliger rated B1 is considered non-investment grade speculative and is subject to high credit risk.

⁽³⁾

Fitch’s corporate credit rating categories range from “investment grade“ for those with ratings of “AAA” to “BBB”, and “speculative grade” for those with “BB” to “D” ratings. Modifiers may be used by Fitch within these rating categories, either (+) or (-), appended to a rating to indicate relative status within the major rating categories. Rating outlooks may be provided to direct where a rating may potentially move within the next year or two, and fall under four outlooks: “positive”, “stable”, “negative”, or “evolving”. A “BB-” rating for an obliger denotes an increased vulnerability to default risk, especially if experiencing adverse changes in economic or business conditions over time; conversely, there remains a financial or business flexibility that sustains the servicing of financial obligations.

⁽⁴⁾

S&P rates long-term debt instruments by rating categories ranging from a high of "AAA" to a low of "D". The ratings from AA to CCC may be modified by the addition of a plus (+) or minus (-) sign to show relative standing within the major rating categories. An obligation rated "B+" is characterized as less vulnerable to nonpayment than other speculative issues. However, an obligation rated "B+" faces major ongoing uncertainties or exposure to adverse business, financial, or economic conditions, which could lead to the obligor's inadequate capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation. The "B" category is the sixth highest of the ten available categories.

⁽⁵⁾

Moody’s long-term obligations ratings are on a rating scale that ranges from Aaa to C, which represents the highest to lowest opinions of creditworthiness. Moody’s appends numerical modifiers 1, 2, and 3 to each generic rating classification from Aa through Caa, with 3 indicating a ranking in the lower end of the generic rating category. A rating of B3 by Moody’s is within the sixth highest of nine categories. Obligations rated B3 are considered non-investment grade speculative and are subject to high credit risk.

⁽⁶⁾

Fitch’s long-term debt instrument ratings are categorized from “investment grade“ for those with ratings of “AAA” to “BBB”, and “speculative grade” for those with “BB” to “D” ratings. Modifiers may be used by Fitch within these rating categories, either (+) or (-), appended to a rating to indicate relative status within the major rating categories. A “BB-” rating for an obliger denotes an increased vulnerability to default risk, especially if experiencing adverse changes in economic or business conditions over time; conversely, there remains a financial or business flexibility that sustains the servicing of financial obligations.

The dividend was suspended in April 2020 in response to the deterioration in near-term commodity prices and worsening outlook for global oil demand as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and OPEC+ oil price war. Vermilion has a long history of paying dividends and we remain strong proponents of returning capital to Shareholders and as a result of our focus on financial strength we reinstated the dividend in the first quarter of 2022 and subsequently increased the per share amounts in both the second quarter of 2022, the first quarter of 2023 and the first quarter of 2024.

Solvency tests imposed by the ABCA on corporations for the declaration and payment of dividends must be satisfied prior to the declaration of a dividend. In addition, decisions with respect to the declaration of dividends on the common shares are made by the Board of Directors on the basis of the Company's net earnings, financial requirements, and other conditions.

The following table sets forth the history of Vermilion's dividend per share:


Date	Frequency	Dividend per unit or share
January 2003 to December 2007	Monthly	$	0.170
January 2008 to December 2012	Monthly	$	0.190
January 2013 to December 2013	Monthly	$	0.200
January 2014 to March 2018	Monthly	$	0.215
April 2018 to February 2020	Monthly	$	0.230
March 2020	Monthly	$	0.115
April 2022 to July 2022	Quarterly	$	0.060
August 2022 to March 2023	Quarterly	$	0.080
April 2023 to March 2024	Quarterly	$	0.100
April 2024 onwards	Quarterly	$	0.120

The following table outlines dividends declared per share for each of the three most recently completed financial years:


Date	Dividends per common share
2021	$	0.00
2022	$	0.20
2023	$	0.40

In the first quarter of 2024, we increased the quarterly dividend 20% to $0.12 per share, aligned with our dividend policy of providing ratable increases while ensuring the annual dividend amount is sustainable at mid-cycle pricing and our continued focus on debt reduction in 2024. The dividend of $0.12 per share for Q1 2024 was declared on March 6, 2024.

Risk Factors

The following is a summary of certain risk factors relating to the business of the Company. The following information is a summary only of certain risk factors and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, and must be read in conjunction with, the detailed information appearing elsewhere in this AIF. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to Vermilion that it currently views as immaterial may also materially and adversely affect its business, financial condition and/or results of operations. Shareholders and potential Shareholders should carefully consider the information contained herein and, in particular, the following risk factors.

Market risks

Volatility of oil and gas prices

The Company's reserves, financial performance, financial position, and cash flows are dependent on the prices received for oil and natural gas production. Oil and natural gas prices have fluctuated materially during recent years and are determined by supply and demand factors. Supply factors can include availability (or lack thereof) of transportation capacity and production curtailments by independent producers or by OPEC members. Demand factors can be impacted by general economic conditions, supply chain requirements, environmental and other factors. Environmental and other factors include changes in weather, weather patterns, fuel conservation measures, alternative fuel requirements, increasing consumer demand for alternatives to oil and gas, and technology advances in fuel economy and energy generation devices. Shifts in supply and demand for certain commodities, products, and services may occur as climate-related risks are increasingly taken into account.

Constraints at processing facilities and/or on transportation

The Company delivers its products via gathering and processing facilities, pipeline systems, trucks, rail, and tanker. The amount of crude oi, natural gas, and natural gas liquids that the Company can produce and sell is subject to the availability, proximity, and capacity of these systems and related infrastructure. Unexpected shutdowns or curtailment of capacity of gathering and processing facilities, and pipeline systems, or an inability to secure trucks, rail, or tankers could affect the Company's production, operations, and financial results. The Company's production may flow through third party facilities which the Company does not control and these facilities may discontinue or decrease operations as result of normal course service requirements, unexpected events or otherwise. A discontinuation or decrease of operation of these third party facilities could have a material adverse effect on the Company's ability to process it's production and deliver to market. Midstream and pipeline companies may take actions to maximize their return on investment, which may in turn adversely affect producers and shippers.

Volatility of foreign exchange rates

The Company's reserves, financial performance, financial position, and cash flows are affected by prevailing foreign exchange rates. An increase in the exchange rate for the Canadian dollar versus the U.S. dollar and Euro would reduce the Canadian equivalent cash receipts for Vermilion's production. Conversely, a decrease in the exchange rate for the Canadian dollar versus the U.S. dollar and Euro would increase the Canadian equivalent cash outflows for Vermilion's operating and capital expenditures.

Volatility of market price of Common Shares

The market price of Vermilion's Common Shares may be volatile and this volatility may affect the ability of Shareholders to sell Common Shares at an advantageous price. Market price fluctuations in the common shares may be due to: the Company’s operating results or financial performance failing to meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors in any quarter; downward revision in securities analysts’ estimates; governmental regulatory action; adverse change in general market conditions or economic trends; acquisitions, dispositions or other material public announcements by the Corporation or its competitors, along with a variety of additional factors, including, without limitation, those set forth under “Forward-Looking Statements” in this AIF. In addition, the market price for securities in stock markets including Common Shares may experience significant price and trading fluctuations. These fluctuations may result in volatility in the market prices of securities that may be unrelated or disproportionate to changes in the Company's operating and financial performance.

Vermilion Energy Inc. ■ Page 59 ■ 2023 Annual Information Form

Hedging arrangements

Vermilion may enter into agreements to fix commodity prices, interest rates, and foreign exchange rates to offset the risks affecting the business. To the extent that Vermilion engages in price risk management activities to protect the Company from unfavourable fluctuations in prices and rates, the Company may also be prevented from realizing the full benefits of favourable fluctuations in prices and rates.

To the extent that risk management activities and hedging strategies are employed to address these risks, the Company would also be exposed to risks associated with such activities and strategies, including: counterparty risk, settlement risk, basis risk, liquidity risk and market risk. These risks could impact or negate any benefits of risk management activities and hedging strategies.

In addition, commodity hedging arrangements could expose the Company to the risk of financial loss if: production falls short of the hedged volumes; there is a widening of price-basis differentials between delivery points for production and the delivery point assumed in the hedge arrangements; or a sudden unexpected event materially impacts oil and natural gas prices.

Inflationary pressures

The Company’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows are impacted by global inflation. An increase in inflation could impact the costs of to operate our business, including future capital expenditures, recurring costs to operate, and commodity prices.

Operational risks

Increase in operating costs or a decline in production level

The Company's financial performance, financial position, and cash flows are affected by the Company's operating costs and production levels. Operating costs may increase and production levels may decline at rates greater than anticipated due to unforeseen circumstances, many of which are beyond Vermilion's control.

Production levels may decline due to an inability for Vermilion to market oil and natural gas production. This could result from the availability, proximity and capacity of gathering systems, pipelines and processing facilities that Vermilion depends on in the jurisdictions in which it operates.

Operating costs could increase as a result of blowouts, environmental damage, unforeseen circumstances related to climate-change, and other unexpected and dangerous conditions which could result from a number of operating and natural hazards associated with Vermilion's operations. In addition to higher costs, Vermilion may have a potential liability to regulators and third parties as a result. Vermilion maintains liability insurance, where available, in amounts consistent with industry standards. Business interruption insurance may also be purchased for selected operations, to the extent that such insurance is commercially viable. Vermilion may become liable for damages arising from such events against which it cannot insure or against which it may elect not to insure because of high premium costs or other reasons.

Operator performance and payment delays

Continuing production from a property are dependent upon the ability of the operator of the property, and the operator may fail to perform these functions properly. Payments from production generally flow through the operator and there is a risk of delay and additional expense in receiving such revenues if the operator becomes insolvent. Although satisfactory title reviews are generally conducted in accordance with industry standards, such reviews do not guarantee or certify that a defect in the chain of title may not arise to defeat the claim of Vermilion or its subsidiaries to certain properties.

In addition to the usual delays in payment by purchasers of oil and natural gas to the operators of the properties, and by the operator to Vermilion, payments between any of such parties may also be delayed by restrictions imposed by lenders, delays in the sale or delivery of products, delays in the connection of wells to a gathering system, blowouts or other accidents, recovery by the operator of expenses incurred in the operation of the properties or the establishment by the operator of reserves for such expenses.

Weather conditions

Vermilion's operations may be impacted by changing weather conditions, which may include: changes in temperature extremes, changes in precipitation patterns (including drought and flooding), rising sea levels, and increased severity of extreme weather events such as cyclones or floods. These events can impact Vermilion's operations, causing shutdowns and increased costs. In the Netherlands, rising water levels could impact facilities below sea level and in Australia a severe cyclonic event could cause damage to the Company's Wandoo platform.

Vermilion Energy Inc. ■ Page 60 ■ 2023 Annual Information Form

Cost of new technology

The oil and natural gas industry is characterized by rapid and significant technological advancements and introductions of new products and services utilizing new technologies. Other oil and natural gas companies may have greater financial, technical and personnel resources that provide them with technological advantages and may in the future allow them to implement new technologies before Vermilion does. There can be no assurance that Vermilion will be able to respond to such competitive pressures and implement such technologies on a timely basis or at an acceptable cost. One or more of the technologies currently utilized by the Company or implemented in the future may become obsolete.

Regulatory and political risks

Tax, royalty, and other government legislation

Income tax laws, royalty and other government legislation relating to the oil and gas industry in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates may change in a manner that adversely affects Vermilion.

Vermilion is exposed to increased taxation and royalties due to windfall taxes on profits. Windfall taxes have been substantively enacted within the European Union for oil and gas companies for 2022 and/or 2023 at a minimum rate of 33% calculated on taxable profits above a 20% increase in the average yearly taxable profits as compared to 2018 to 2021. There is risk that windfall taxes or similar mechanisms will be re-enacted or similar legislation could be enacted in other jurisdictions that Vermilion operates in periods of extraordinary commodity prices.

Government regulations

Vermilion's operations are governed by many levels of governments in which jurisdiction the Company operates. Vermilion is subject to laws and regulations regarding environment, health and safety issues, lease interests, taxes and royalties, among others. Failure to comply with the applicable laws can result in significant increases in costs, penalties and even losses of operating licenses. The regulatory process involved in each of the countries in which Vermilion operates is not uniform and regulatory regimes vary as to complexity, timeliness of access to, and response from, regulatory bodies and other matters specific to each jurisdiction. If regulatory approvals or permits are delayed, not obtained, or revoked, there can also be delays or abandonment of projects, decreases in production and increases in costs, and Vermilion may not be able to fully execute its strategy. Governments may also amend or create new legislation and regulatory bodies may also amend regulations or impose additional requirements which could result in reduced production and increased capital, operating and compliance costs.

Policy and legal risks

Policy actions that attempt to constrain actions that contribute to the adverse effects of climate change or policy actions that seek to promote adaptation to climate change continue to evolve. Policy changes could include implementing carbon-pricing mechanisms to reduce GHG emissions, shifting energy-efficient solutions, and promoting more sustainable land-use practices. The risks and financial impact of policy changes depend on the nature and timing of the policy change.

Vermilion may be exposed to increased litigation risk relating to climate change. The oil and gas industry has seen an increase in climate-related litigation claims being brought before the courts by property owners, municipalities, and public interest organizations. Some of these claims include the failure of organizations to mitigate the impacts of climate change, failure to adapt to climate change, and the insufficiency of disclosure around material financial risks. As the value of loss and damage arising from climate change increases, litigation risk will also grow.

Political events and terrorist attacks

Political events throughout the world that cause disruptions in the supply of oil affect the marketability and price of oil and natural gas acquired or discovered by Vermilion. Political developments arising in the countries in which Vermilion operates have a significant impact on the price of oil and natural gas.

Vermilion’s oil and natural gas properties, wells and facilities could be subject to a terrorist attack. If any of Vermilion’s properties, wells or facilities or any infrastructure on which the Company relies are the subject of a terrorist attack, such attack may have a material adverse effect on Vermilion’s financial performance, financial position, and cash flows.

Vermilion Energy Inc. ■ Page 61 ■ 2023 Annual Information Form

Financing risks

Discretionary nature of dividends and share buybacks

The declaration and payment (including the amount thereof) of future cash dividends and the amount of share buybacks under the NCIB, if any, is subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company and may vary depending on a variety of factors and conditions, including the satisfaction of the liquidity and solvency tests under the ABCA for the declaration and payment of dividends and the amount of the Company's cash flows. The Company's cash flows may be impacted by risks affecting the Company's business including: fluctuations in commodity prices, foreign exchange and interest rates; production and sales volume levels; production costs; capital expenditure requirements; royalty and tax burdens; external financing availability, and debt service requirements.

Depending on these and other factors considered relevant to the declaration and payment of dividends and the authorization of share buybacks by the Board of Directors and management of the Company, the Company may change its dividend policy and (or) approach to the share buybacks from time to time. Any reduction of dividends and (or) share buybacks may adversely affect the market price or value of Common Shares.

Additional financing

Vermilion’s credit facility and any replacement credit facility may not provide sufficient liquidity. The amounts available under Vermilion's credit facility may not be sufficient for future operations, or Vermilion may not be able to obtain additional financing on attractive economic terms, if at all.

To the extent that external sources of capital, including the issuance of additional Common Shares, become limited or unavailable, Vermilion's ability to make the necessary capital investments to maintain or expand its oil and natural gas reserves may be impaired. To the extent the Company is required to use cash flow to finance capital expenditures or property acquisitions, the level of cash available that may be declared payable as dividends will be reduced.

Debt service

Vermilion may finance a significant portion of its operations through debt. Amounts paid in respect of interest and principal on debt incurred by Vermilion may impair Vermilion's ability to satisfy its other obligations. Variations in interest rates and scheduled principal repayments could result in significant changes in the amount required to be applied to debt service before payment by Vermilion of its debt obligations.

Lenders may be provided with security over substantially all of the assets of Vermilion and its Subsidiaries. If Vermilion becomes unable to pay its debt service charges or otherwise commits an event of default such as bankruptcy, a lender may be able to foreclose on or sell the assets of Vermilion and/or its Subsidiaries.

Variations in interest rates and foreign exchange rates

An increase in interest rates could result in a significant increase in the amount the Company pays to service debt. A decrease in the exchange rate of the Canadian dollar versus the US dollar would result in higher interest and ultimate principle payment on the Company's Senior Unsecured Notes.

Environmental risks

Environmental legislation

The oil and natural gas industry is subject to environmental regulation pursuant to local, provincial, state and federal legislation. A breach of such legislation may result in the imposition of fines, the issuance of clean up orders in respect of Vermilion or its assets, or the loss or suspension of regulatory approvals. Such legislation may include carbon taxes, enhanced emissions reporting obligations, mandates on the equipment specifications, and emissions regulations. Such legislation may be changed to impose higher standards and potentially more costly obligations on Vermilion. In addition, such legislation may inhibit Vermilion's ability to operate the Company's assets and may make it more difficult for Vermilion to compete in the acquisition of new property rights. Presently, the Company does not believe the financial impact of these regulations on capital expenditures and earnings will be material. However, the Company actively monitors and assesses its exposure to this legislation.

Vermilion expects to incur abandonment and reclamation costs in the ordinary course of business as existing oil and gas properties are abandoned and reclaimed. These costs may materially differ from the Company's estimates due to changes in environmental regulations.

Vermilion Energy Inc. ■ Page 62 ■ 2023 Annual Information Form

Vermilion's exploration and production facilities and other operations and activities emit some amount of greenhouse gases, which may be subject to legislation regulating emissions of greenhouse gases. This may result in a requirement to reduce emissions or emissions intensity from Vermilion's operations and facilities. It is possible that future regulations may require further reductions of emissions or emissions intensity.

Hydraulic fracturing regulations

Hydraulic fracturing involves the injection of water, sand and small amounts of additives under pressure into rock formations to stimulate oil and natural gas production. Hydraulic fracturing is used to produce commercial quantities of oil and natural gas from reservoirs that were previously unproductive. Hydraulic fracturing has featured prominently in recent political, media and activist commentary on the subject of water usage and environmental damage. Any new laws, regulations or permitting requirements regarding hydraulic fracturing could lead to operational delays, increased operating costs, third party or governmental claims, and could increase Vermilion's costs of compliance and doing business as well as delay the development of oil and natural gas resources from shale formations, which are not commercial without the use of hydraulic fracturing. Restrictions on hydraulic fracturing could also reduce the amount of oil and natural gas that the Company is ultimately able to produce from its reserves, as well as increase costs.

With activist groups expressing concern about the impact of hydraulic fracturing on the environment and water supplies, Vermilion's corporate reputation may be negatively affected by the negative public perception and public protests against hydraulic fracturing. In addition, concerns regarding hydraulic fracturing may result in changes in regulations that delay the development of oil and natural gas resources and adversely affect Vermilion's costs of compliance and reputation. Changes in government may result in new or enhanced regulatory burdens in respect of hydraulic fracturing which could affect Vermilion's business.

Climate change

In addition to other climate-related risks discussed elsewhere in this AIF, Vermilion faces transition risks and physical risks, which are described in detail in the December 31, 2023 MD&A available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

Transition risks are risks that relate to the transition to a lower-carbon economy. Transition risks impact the volatility of oil and gas prices (as consumer demand for oil and gas may decrease); environmental legislation and hydraulic fracturing regulations (which may delay or restrict the development of oil and gas); the ability to obtain additional financing (as sources of financing for oil and gas development may become more restricted); and the reliance on key personnel, management, and labour (as the workforce may transition to other sources of energy development). Practices and disclosures relating to environmental matters, including climate change, are attracting increasing scrutiny by stakeholders. Vermilion’s response to addressing environmental matters can impact the Company’s reputation and affect the Company's ability to hire and retain employees; to compete for reserve acquisitions, exploration leases, licenses and concessions; and to receive regulatory approvals required to execute operating programs.

Physical risks relate to the physical impact of climate change, which can be event driven (acute) or longer-term shifts (chronic) in climate patterns. Physical risks can have financial implications for the Company, such as direct damage to assets and indirect impacts from production disruptions. Physical risks may also increase Vermilion's operating costs.

Acquisition and expansion risks

Competition

Vermilion actively competes for reserve acquisitions, exploration leases, licenses, concessions and skilled industry personnel with a substantial number of other oil and gas companies, some of which have significantly greater financial resources than Vermilion. Vermilion's competitors include major integrated oil and natural gas companies and numerous other independent oil and natural gas companies and individual producers and operators.

Vermilion's ability to successfully bid on and acquire additional property rights, to discover reserves, to participate in drilling opportunities and to identify and enter into commercial arrangements with customers will be dependent upon developing and maintaining close working relationships with its future industry partners and joint operators and its ability to select and evaluate suitable properties and to consummate transactions in a highly competitive environment.

Vermilion Energy Inc. ■ Page 63 ■ 2023 Annual Information Form

International operations and future geographical/industry expansion

The operations and expertise of Vermilion's management are currently focused primarily on oil and natural gas production, exploration and development in three geographical regions, North America, Europe and Australia. In the future Vermilion may acquire or move into new industry related activities, enter into new geographical areas, or acquire different energy related assets. These actions may result in unexpected risks or alternatively, significantly increase the Company's exposure to one or more existing risk factors.

Acquisition assumptions

When making acquisitions, Vermilion estimates the future performance of the assets to be acquired. These estimates are subject to inherent risks associated with predicting the future performance of those assets. These estimates may not be realized over time. As such, assets acquired may not possess the value Vermilion attributed to them.

Failure to realize anticipated benefits of prior acquisitions

Vermilion may complete one or more acquisitions for various strategic reasons including to strengthen its position in the oil and natural gas industry and to create the opportunity to realize certain benefits. In order to achieve the benefits of any future acquisitions, Vermilion will be dependent upon its ability to successfully consolidate functions and integrate operations, procedures and personnel in a timely and efficient manner and to realize the anticipated growth opportunities and synergies from combining the acquired assets and operations with those of the Company. The integration of acquired assets and operations requires the dedication of management effort, time and resources, which may divert management's focus and resources from other strategic opportunities and from operational matters during the process. The integration process may result in the disruption of ongoing business and customer relationships that may adversely affect Vermilion's ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of such prior acquisitions.

Reserve estimates

Reserves and estimated future net revenue to be derived from reserves are estimates and have been independently evaluated by McDaniel & Associates. The estimation of reserves is a complex process and requires significant judgment. Actual production and ultimate reserves will vary from those estimates and these variations may be material.

Assumptions incorporated into the estimation of reserves are based on information available when the estimate was prepared. These assumptions are subject to change and many are beyond the Company's control. These assumptions include: initial production rates; production decline rates; ultimate recovery of reserves; timing and amount of capital expenditures; marketability of production; future prices of crude oil and natural gas; operating costs; well abandonment costs; royalties, taxes, and other government levies that may be imposed over the producing life of the reserves.

In addition, estimates of reserves that may be developed and produced in the future are often based on methods other than actual production history, including: volumetric calculations, probabilistic methods, and upon analogy to similar types of reserves. Estimates based on these methods are generally less reliable than those based on actual production history. Subsequent evaluation of the same reserves based upon production history will result in variations, which may be material, in the estimated reserves. As such, reserve estimates may require revision based on actual production experience.

The present value of estimated future net revenue referred to in this annual information form should not be construed as the fair market value of estimated crude oil and natural gas reserves attributable to the Company's properties. The estimated discounted future revenue from reserves are based upon price and cost estimates which may vary from actual prices and costs and such variance could be material. Actual future net revenue will also be affected by factors such as the amount and timing of actual production, supply and demand for crude oil and natural gas, curtailments or increases in consumption by purchasers and changes in governmental regulations and taxation.

Other risks

Cyber security

Vermilion manages cyber security risk by ensuring appropriate technologies, processes and practices are effectively designed and implemented to help prevent, detect and respond to threats as they emerge and evolve. The primary risks to Vermilion include, loss of data, destruction or corruption of data, compromising of confidential customer or employee information, leaked information, disruption of business, theft or extortion of funds, regulatory infractions, loss of competitive advantage and damage to the Company's reputation. Vermilion relies upon a variety of advanced controls as protection from such attacks including:

Vermilion Energy Inc. ■ Page 64 ■ 2023 Annual Information Form

a)	Enterprise class firewall infrastructure, secure network architecture and anti-malware defense systems to protect against network intrusion, malware infection and data loss.

b)	Regularly conducted comprehensive third party reviews and vulnerability assessments to ensure that information technology systems are up-to-date and properly configured, to reduce security risks arising from outdated or misconfigured systems and software.

c)	Disaster recovery planning, ongoing monitoring of network traffic patterns to identify potential malicious activities or attacks.

Incident response processes are in place to isolate and control potential attacks. Data backup and recovery processes are in place to minimize risk of data loss and resulting disruption of business. Through ongoing vigilance and regular employee awareness, Vermilion has not experienced a cyber security event of a material nature in the last three years. As it is difficult to quantify the significance of such events, cyber attacks such as, security breaches of company, customer, employee, and vendor information, as well as hardware or software corruption, failure or error, telecommunications system failure, service provider error, intentional or unintentional personnel actions, malicious software, attempts to gain unauthorized access to data and other electronic security breaches that could lead to disruptions in systems, unauthorized release of confidential or otherwise protected information and the corruption of data, may in certain circumstances be material and could have an adverse effect on Vermilion’s business, financial condition and results of operations. As result of the unpredictability of the timing, nature and scope of disruptions from such attacks, Vermilion could potentially be subject to production downtimes, operational delays, the compromising of confidential or otherwise protected information, destruction or corruption of data, security breaches, other manipulation or improper use of its systems and networks or financial losses, any of which could have a material adverse effect on Vermilion’s competitive position, financial condition or results of operations.

Accounting adjustments

The presentation of financial information in accordance with IFRS requires that management apply certain accounting policies and make certain estimates and assumptions which affect reported amounts in Vermilion’s consolidated financial statements. The accounting policies may result in non-cash charges to net income and write-downs of net assets in the consolidated financial statements and such adjustments may be viewed unfavourably by the market and may result in an inability to borrow funds or a decline in price of Common Shares.

Ineffective internal controls

Effective internal controls are necessary for Vermilion to provide reliable financial reports and to help prevent fraud. Although the Company has undertaken and will undertake a number of procedures in order to help ensure the reliability of its financial reports, including those that may be imposed on Vermilion under Canadian Securities Laws and applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws, Vermilion cannot be certain that such measures will ensure that the Company will maintain adequate control over financial processes and reporting. Failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm Vermilion's results of operations or cause the Company to fail to meet its reporting obligations. Additionally, implementing and monitoring effective internal controls can be costly. If Vermilion or its independent auditors discover a material weakness, the disclosure of that fact, even if quickly remedied, could reduce the market's confidence in Vermilion's consolidated financial statements and may result in a decline in the price of Common Shares.

Reliance on key personnel, management, and labour

Vermilion's success depends in large measure on certain key personnel. The loss of the services of such key personnel may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Vermilion does not have any key person insurance in effect. The contributions of Vermilion's existing management team to immediate and near term operations are likely to be of central importance. In addition, the labour force in certain areas in which the Company operates is limited and the competition for qualified personnel in the oil and natural gas industry is intense. Vermilion expects that similar projects or expansions will proceed in the same area during the same time frame as the Company's projects. Vermilion's projects require experienced employees, and such competition may result in increases in compensation paid to such personnel or in a lack of qualified personnel. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to attract and retain all personnel necessary for the development and operation of the business.

Potential conflicts of interest

Circumstances may arise where members of the board of directors or officers of Vermilion are directors or officers of companies which compete with Vermilion. No assurances can be given that opportunities identified by such persons will be provided to Vermilion.

Vermilion Energy Inc. ■ Page 65 ■ 2023 Annual Information Form

Ukraine War / Middle East conflict

During 2022, Russian military forces invaded Ukraine resulting in a war between the two countries. The ongoing conflict between countries has impacted the supply of oil and gas from the region and has resulted in countries throughout the world imposing financial and trade sanctions against Russia which have had macroeconomic effects.

The risks disclosed in the Risk Factors section above may be exacerbated as a result of the Ukraine war, including: market risks including volatility of oil and gas prices, volatility of foreign exchange rates, volatility of market price of common shares, hedging arrangements; regulatory and political risks including tax, royalty, and other government legislation; financing risks including additional financing, debt service, variations in interest rates and foreign exchange rates; acquisition and expansion risks including international operations and future geographical/industry expansion, acquisition assumptions, failure to realize anticipated benefits of prior acquisitions.

In addition to the Ukraine war, hostilities in the Middle East could adversely affect the global economy and impact oil and gas prices.
