Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - July 14, 2025) - Baytex Energy Corp. (TSX: BTE) (NYSE: BTE) ("Baytex") today announced it obtained an exemption order from the Canadian securities regulators which permits Baytex to purchase up to 10 percent of the "public float" (within the meaning of the rules of the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX")) of its common shares through the New York Stock Exchange and other U.S.-based trading systems as part of Baytex's shareholder return strategy, including the current normal course issuer bid announced on June 24, 2025 (the "Current Bid").
