EXPLANATORY NOTE

Baytex Energy Corp. is filing an Amendment to the Form of Proxy. We wish to advise that an earlier version of the Form of Proxy provided with the meeting materials was distributed in error. At the top of the Form of Proxy, the meeting was incorrectly described as a “Special” meeting rather than an Annual Meeting, and the numbering sequence of the resolutions was incorrect. Included with this notice is a corrected Form of Proxy. However, as the matters to be voted on are the same, there is no need to resubmit your proxy if already submitted.

The following documents attached as exhibits hereto is incorporated by reference herein:


Exhibit No.			Document
99.1*			Notice of Meeting of Shareholders to be held on May 7, 2026

99.3			Form of Proxy
99.4*			Notice and Access Notification
