Note: Schedules filed in paper format shall include a signed original and five copies of the Schedule, including all exhibits. See Rule 13d-7(b) for other parties to whom copies are to be sent.

This Amendment No. 1 amends and supplements the Initial Statement. Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Initial Statement.

The second paragraph of Item 2. of the Initial Statement is hereby replaced in its entirety as follows:

“The name, business address, present principal occupation or employment and citizenship of each director and executive officer of each of the Reporting Persons are set forth in Exhibit 1. The address of the principal business office of each of the Reporting Persons is 925 N. Eldridge Parkway, Houston, Texas 77079.”

“(a) – (b)      CPCo directly owns 208,000,000 common shares, representing 10.3% of the common shares based on an estimated 2,017,387,906 common shares issued and outstanding, as disclosed in the Issuer’s prospectus supplement filed on December 21, 2020. The estimated number of common shares issued and outstanding is calculated as the sum of (i) 1,228,869,903 common shares issued and outstanding as at December 18, 2020 and (ii) an estimated 788,518,003 common shares issued in connection with the completion on January 4, 2021 of the Issuer’s previously announced acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Husky Energy Inc. by way of a court approved plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta), with Husky Energy Inc. becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer (the “Arrangement”).
