(TSX: KEY) ("Keyera" or the "Company") announced today that the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") has accepted the Company's notice of intention to implement a Normal Course Issuer Bid ("NCIB") with respect to its issued and outstanding common shares (the "Common Shares").

The NCIB will terminate at the earlier of December 2, 2025 and the date on which the maximum allowable number of Common Shares that can be acquired under the NCIB have been purchased.
Pursuant to the NCIB terms, the daily maximum number of Common Shares that can be purchased by the Company under the NCIB is 280,671 Common Shares, representing 25% of the average daily trading volume of 1,122,686 Common Shares for the six-month period ended October 31, 2024. However, one block purchase over the daily maximum purchase limit is permitted per calendar week. The price that the Company will pay for Common Shares purchased under the NCIB will be the market price at the time of purchase. All purchases under the NCIB will be made through the facilities of the TSX. Common Shares acquired under the NCIB will be cancelled.
