(1)In 2025, the Company entered into fixed price financial contracts to buy 12,500 MMBtu/d of natural gas at US$1.30 AECO for the period of August to December 2025, and 25,000 MMBtu/d of natural gas at US$2.16 AECO for the period of January to December 2026.
(2)In 2024, the Company entered into fixed price financial contracts to buy 12,500 MMBtu/d of natural gas at US$1.47 AECO, and 25,000 MMBtu/d of natural gas at US$1.82 AECO for the period of January to December 2025.
(3)In 2023, the Company entered into fixed price financial contracts to buy 50,000 MMBtu/d of natural gas at US$1.82 AECO for the period of January to December 2024.
(4)In 2025, the Company entered into a long-term natural gas supply agreement that contains an embedded derivative.
Schedule of Embedded Derivative Contract
The natural gas embedded derivative contract is categorized as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy, as the fair value is determined using a discounted estimated cash flow model which incorporates significant unobservable inputs, including future natural gas pricing and a discount rate.

Schedule of Embedded Derivative could be Materially Impacted
The Level 3 fair value measurements of the embedded derivative could be materially impacted by a change in the discount rate and movements in natural gas prices. The following table summarizes the impacts to the fair value of the embedded derivative resulting from changes in the specified variable over the 15-year contract. These sensitivities are theoretical, as changes in one variable may contribute to changes in another variable, which may magnify or counteract the sensitivities.

The following table summarizes the annualized sensitivities of the Company's 2025 net earnings and other comprehensive income to changes in the fair value of financial instruments outstanding as at December 31, 2025, resulting from changes in the specified variable, with all other variables held constant. These sensitivities are prepared on a different basis than those disclosed in the Company's other continuous disclosure documents, are limited to the impact of changes in a specified variable applied to financial instruments only, and do not represent the impact of a change in the variable on the operating results of the Company taken as a whole. Further, these sensitivities are theoretical, as changes in one variable may contribute to changes in another variable, which may magnify or counteract the sensitivities. In addition, changes in fair value generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of a change in an assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. These sensitivities exclude the impacts of the Company's embedded derivative, disclosed above.
