All amounts are denominated in Canadian dollars (“CAD”), unless otherwise indicated. Completion of Reorganization On June 17, 2024, the Corporation held its Annual and Special General Meeting where the Corporation’s shareholders approved, amongst other things, a special resolution approving a reorganization of the Corporation by way of a plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”) and a return of capital of up to $0.76 per common share of High Arctic (the “Return of Capital”). Pursuant to the reorganization of the Corporation, the PNG business was spun out to the current High Arctic shareholders through a new publicly listed entity High Arctic Overseas Holdings Corp. (“SpinCo”) that will trade on the TSX Venture Exchange under the trading symbol HOH. On June 27, 2024, the Corporation received a final order approving the Arrangement from the Alberta Court of King’s Bench, and the Return of Capital was distributed to shareholders on July 17, 2024. On August 1, 2024, the Corporation was able to fulfill the last major condition in the Arrangement which was the receipt of conditional approval from the TSX Venture Exchange to have the SpinCo shares trade on its exchange. All other terms and conditions to the Arrangement were satisfied subsequent to receipt of conditional approval from the TSX Venture Exchange and the Arrangement was completed on August 12, 2024 and the final approval from the TSX and TSX Venture exchange was received on August 14, 2024. The shares of SpinCo are expected to commence trading on the TSX Venture Exchange on or about August 16, 2024. Pursuant to the Arrangement, each shareholder of High Arctic received one-quarter of one (1/4) common share of SpinCo and one-quarter of one (1/4) common share of post-Arrangement High Arctic for each common share of High Arctic held. As a result of the Arrangement, each shareholder continues to own its pro rata portion of both SpinCo and post-Arrangement High Arctic. SpinCo’s now stand-alone PNG business begins with intact senior leadership and management, a new and independent Board of Directors , a separate stock exchange listing, a strong capital structure, no long-term debt and positive working capital of approximately US$19 million, including US$13 million in cash. Mike Maguire, Chief Executive Officer commented: “Our businesses in both Canada and PNG have performed well in the first half of 2024, setting up both High Arctic and SpinCo with strong financial positions for the commencement of trading as independently listed companies. I am very pleased to have completed the strategic re-organization of the Corporation and excited to be on the precipice of a new chapter in the High Arctic story as the two entities commence separate trading later this week. Both High Arctic and SpinCo have no net debt and access to cash at bank to finance budgeted activities and provide a platform for growth for each business to realize its potential and maximize value for their shareholders. In Canada the performance of our rental business in the first half of 2024 is in-line with our pre-transaction expectations following the acquisition and integration of Delta Rental Services. Having a cash positive business, when adjusted for re-organization costs, positions High Arctic as an attractive vehicle for future growth and transactions. In PNG Rig 103 completed services and was stacked at the forward base in the Southern Highlands, as expected. We anticipate a period of modest activity, through our rentals and manpower provision, as we await significant strategic decisions on major project advancement now expected in 2025.” Additional Information Pertaining to the Reorganization The Corporation has received final approval today to list the post-Arrangement common shares of High Arctic (the “New High Arctic Common Shares”) on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”). The existing common shares are expected to be delisted from the TSX as of the close of business on August 15, 2024. The New High Arctic Common Shares are expected to commence trading on the TSX at the market opening on August 16, 2024 and the CUSIP number for the New High Arctic Shares will be “42964L109”. Pursuant to the completion of the Reorganization the Corporation has today terminated its normal course issuer bid arrangement which has been in place since December 13, 2023. With the completion of the reorganization and in accordance with the Arrangement, the Corporation is obliged for Canadian taxation compliance purposes to determine the fair market value of the SpinCo shares. The Corporation and SpinCo have begun the valuation process to determine the fair market value for SpinCo and expects to provide the fair market value of the SpinCo shares to shareholders prior to November 2024. 240814 HAES – Q2 2024 Results

High Arctic Announces Return of Capital and Distribution Dates

CALGARY, Alberta – June 28, 2024 – High Arctic Energy Services Inc. (TSX: HWO) (“High Arctic” or the “Corporation”), further to its news release dated May 11, 2024, is pleased to announce the dates for a distribution of $0.76 per share to its shareholders by way of return of capital (the “Return of Capital”), which was approved by shareholders at the annual general and special meeting held on June 17, 2024. The record date for the Return of Capital will be July 9, 2024 and the payment date will be July 17, 2024. The Return of Capital is expected to be generally more tax advantageous to shareholders than a dividend. The Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) has determined to implement due bill trading for the Return of Capital. A due bill is an entitlement that will attach to each share traded, from the record date for the Return of Capital to the payment date, inclusive. Each due bill will notionally represent the $0.76 distribution that a holder of a common share of High Arctic on the record date is entitled to receive pursuant to the Return of Capital. During the due bill trading period, a seller of shares (who is prospectively entitled to the $0.76 distribution) will also sell to the purchaser the entitlement to the distribution (which is represented by the due bill attached to each share sold). Due bill trading defers the exdistribution date and ensures shareholders are not deprived of the value of the Return of Capital between the record date and the payment date. Key dates for the Return of Capital are:  The record date to determine shareholders entitled to receive the distribution will be July 9, 2024;  Due bill trading will commence on July 9, 2024;  The payment date for the distribution will be July 17, 2024;  The ex-distribution date will be July 18, 2024 (the first trading day after the payment date, so that trades on and after that date will not have due bills attached); and  The redemption date used by CDS will also be July 18, 2024. All of the foregoing dates are subject to the approval of the TSX. The Return of Capital will be funded from the Corporation’s cash balances. In July 2022, the Corporation made a strategic decision to divest certain well servicing assets in Canada for cash proceeds of $38.2 million. As a result of receiving these cash proceeds plus, cash flow generated subsequently through operating, investing and financing activities, the Corporation had positive working capital of approximately $67.6 million, which included a cash balance of approximately $57.0 million as at March 31, 2024. The Corporation expects to close the proposed plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”) between the Corporation and High Arctic Overseas Holdings Corp., also announced on May 11, 2024, on or about July 31, 2024. For more information on the Arrangement and the Return of Capital, please see the management information circular of the Corporation dated May 9, 2024, available on the Corporation’s SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca.

High Arctic Announces Executive Appointment and Provides Update on Final Order to Approve Plan of Arrangement

CALGARY, Canada – June 12, 2024 – High Arctic Energy Services Inc. (TSX: HWO) (“High Arctic” or the “Corporation”) is pleased to announce the appointment of Lonn Bate as Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) effective July 1, 2024 and that it has re-scheduled the hearing for the Court of King’s Bench’s (“Court”) final approval of the previously announced plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”) between the Corporation and High Arctic Overseas Holdings Corp. (“SpinCo”) to an earlier date. Executive Appointment Mr. Bate initially joined the Corporation in March 2023 in a consulting capacity and in August of 2023 took on the role of Interim CFO with a view to strengthening the finance and accounting processes within the Corporation and providing financial leadership for High Arctic to advance its restructuring initiatives that have culminated in the Arrangement. Mr. Bate is a Chartered Professional Accountant (CA) with over 25 years of broad financial leadership including substantial periods in senior executive roles of public and private junior energy and energy services companies. Mr. Bate’s experience extends to the international as well as the Canadian energy sectors. He brings extensive knowledge in financial stewardship, strategic planning and analysis, equity and debt financing, company reorganizations, mergers and acquisitions, and consolidating global finance teams. Mike Maguire, Chief Executive Officer stated: “I am pleased to welcome Mr. Bate as a permanent member of the executive management team at High Arctic. Lonn has been instrumental in navigating the Corporation to a substantial return of capital to shareholders and strategic reorganization. High Arctic is on the precipice of a new chapter focussed on growth and the board and I have every confidence that Lonn is the right person to steward the ongoing financial management to achieve the Corporation’s objectives.” Final Order to Approve Plan of Arrangement The Court’s interim approval of the Arrangement provided that the hearing for the final approval of the Arrangement (the “Final Order”) was to be obtained on or after July 12, 2024. By a variance issued by the Court on June 10, 2024, the hearing for the Final Order can now be sought on or after June 27, 2024. The earlier hearing date will permit the Corporation to complete the previously announced return of capital (“Return of Capital”) on or around July 17, 2024, earlier than July 24, 2024 as previously announced, subject to approval by the shareholders of the Corporation. This follows the previously announced conditional approval received for the listing of the new common shares of High Arctic on the TSX following the Arrangement, and TSX conditional approval for the Return of Capital. Application has been made to the TSX Venture Exchange for the listing of the common shares of SpinCo following the Arrangement. The approval of the listing of the SpinCo common shares is a condition to completion of the Arrangement.
