VERMILION’S KEY ATTRIBUTES

► International E&P with leading positions in Europe, North America and Australia

► Self-funded growth-and-income model

► Supported by business units that deliver high margins, low decline rates and strong capital efficiencies

► Each major business unit generates free cash flow with stable-to-growing production

► Consistent production growth from high-return, conventional and semi-conventional projects

► Project inventory depth more typical of an unconventional producer

► Defensive stock with multiple risk-reducing attributes: high margins, global commodity exposure, project diversification and relatively low financial leverage

► Industry leader in sustainability and ESG performance

► Substantial employee ownership and a consistent record of market out-performance

VERMILION = HIGH YIELD + FULLY FUNDED HIGH GROWTH + COMMODITY DIVERSIFICATION + LOW RELATIVE MULTIPLE

STRATEGY

6

A DIFFERENTIATED MODEL WITH INTERNAL CONSISTENCY IN ALL ELEMENTS OF STRATEGY

Capital Markets Model

► Self-funded production and dividend growth model► Targeting free cash flow and dividend yield compression through per-share growth and risk reduction (low financial and

operating leverage, consistent dividend history, and diversification)► Cost reductions and inventory improvements allow us to execute our model in a lower-for-longer commodity price environment► Industry-leading sustainability and ESG performance contributes to public market out-performance

Operating Model

► High rate-of-return conventional/semi-conventional assets consistent with capital markets model (high margins, low decline rates, and strong capital efficiencies)

► Deep and diversified project inventory, managed at an organic growth rate appropriate to asset base► Organic growth augmented by opportunistic and accretive M&A, with disciplined acquisition tests to insure that M&A enhances

capital markets model► Appropriate (not doctrinaire) pursuit of scale and simplicity

Geographic Model

► Three regions with stable political, fiscal and regulatory regimes: Europe, North America, and Australia► These regions offer assets consistent with operating model (inventory depth, positive FCF, and outsized M&A returns) ► Portfolio flexibility to allocate capital to highest return products and projects► Typically enter new jurisdictions via producing property acquisition, and patiently consolidate market

Organizational Model► Decentralized business unit structure to effectively manage geographic model ► Technical focus throughout company► Centrality of culture and employee engagement as a differentiation mechanism

ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY

7

► We recognize the energy transition is occurring, and we are a part of the transition

► At the same time, we are realistic that oil and gas consumption will continue during the transition, and will in fact increase over the next few decades

► Our strategy focuses on reducing environmental impacts of traditional energy production while developing renewable energy projects closely related to our core competencies

► Sustainability-oriented investors, governments and citizens will have their greatest positive impact by turning to Best-In-Classoperators like Vermilion during the transition

► Vermilion has been consistently recognized for outstanding sustainability performance

► CDP (formerly Carbon Disclosure Project) – recognized at Climate Leadership level (A-) in 2018

► Circular Economy Award for Industrial and Regional Ecology – received for our project that supplies geothermal heat to local greenhouses (pictured)

► RobecoSAM – ranked top quartile in 2018 for our industry sector in the annual Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA)

► Finance and Sustainability Initiative (FSI) – our Sustainability Report was recognized in early 2018 as Best Sustainability Report in the Non-Renewable Resources (Oil and Gas) category

► Corporate Knights’ Future 40 Responsible Corporate Leaders – ranked 11th out of 40 on the 2018 list, the highest rated oil and gas company

► Align work and measure impact according to United Nation’s Global Goals for Sustainable Development (SDGs)

► We believe SRI investors should benefit doubly by turning to Vermilion

► Strong ESG performance is correlated with outperformance in TSR

► Also generates “alpha” in climate change and social performance by turning to the Best-In-Class in ESG

Page 23: INTERNATIONALLY DIVERSIFIED SUSTAINABLE GROWTH …...Finance and Sustainability Initiative (FSI) –our Sustainability Report was recognized in early 2018 as Best Sustainability Report

ELEMENTS OF SUSTAINABLE MODEL

23

1. High Margins

Profitability on a per boe basis

►High margins provide internally generated capital that can be reinvested in the business or returned to shareholders

►Diversified product portfolio with high margins reduces cash flow volatility

►Premium prices overseas

►Cost reduction has mitigated commodity price decline

SELF-FUNDED GROWTH-AND-INCOME MODEL

2. Low Base Production Decline Rates

Required production replacement before growth

►Vermilion’s conventional and semi-conventional asset base has low base decline rates, reducing capital requirements

►Vermilion’s measured approach to growth helps to support a low base decline rate and extends project inventory

►Management of production rates from certain assets further reduces Vermilion’s effective decline rate

3. Strong Capital Efficiencies

Cost per boe/d to replace and grow production

►Vermilion has a deep and diversified inventory of highly capital efficient organic growth prospects

►Ongoing learning curve in drilling and completion + focus on cost reduction delivers further capital efficiency improvements

►Continuous project portfolio high-grading has resulted in a significant decrease in Vermilion’s capital intensity

EUROPEAN NATURAL GAS PRICING – SUMMARY

► Futures markets continue to reflect a significant premium for European

natural gas versus AECO and Henry Hub

► Realized prices are influenced by a number of factors, including

increasing competition in the global LNG market, incremental demand

from coal-to-gas switching for power generation, strong carbon market

prices, and domestic production declines

► Declining European domestic production and rising coal-to-gas switching

(and potentially nuclear-to-gas switching) result in higher dependence on

imported supply to balance the European market

► In the current high carbon and coal price market, coal-to-gas switching

provides support for European gas prices at US$6.15/mmbtu

(C$8.10/mmbtu)

► Our European natural gas assets continue to deliver significant free cash

flow and robust project economics

EUROPEAN NATURAL GAS – LNG & CTG SWITCHING

► Europe’s large consumer base and infrastructure capable of absorbing available LNG, particularly in the power sector where gas-fired power generation is significantly underutilized

► European natural gas prices need to cover the marginal cost associated with LNG, including shipping and the cost of source gas, and compete with Asian and Latin American markets

► Requires a minimum European natural gas price of ~US$4.45/mmbtu (C$6.80/mmbtu) for US LNG exports to cover marginal costs (assuming Henry Hub price of US$3.00/mmbtu)

► Requires ~US$7.45/mmbtu (C$9.85/mmbtu) to cover both marginal and fixed costs for LNG from the US Gulf Coast

► The coal-to-gas switching point has historically provided a floor for European gas prices, although this floor has sometimes been temporarily breached in the summer season

► Coal-to-gas switching currently provides price support at approximately US$6.15/mmbtu(C$8.10/mmbtu)

► Rising coal prices and more than doubling of carbon prices have increased the competitiveness of gas for power generation

► Gas is more efficient and significantly less carbon intensive than coal

► Gas power plants are better able to adjust to peaking demand variability

EUROPEAN NATURAL GAS – SUMMER 2019 OUTLOOK

► European gas prices are trading lower as we approach the end of

what has been a warmer than normal winter

► European carbon prices (EUA’s) are trading at elevated levels

relative to last year, which incentivizes more coal-gas-switching

► Even though European gas storage levels are comfortable as we

approach the winter, Winter ‘19 prices are above €21.50/mwh

($C9.65/mmbtu), providing a strong storage spread to incentivize

injections this summer

► The current spot LNG netback from the US Gulf Coast favors Mexico

and South America, Europe, and then Asia as destinations for spot

LNG cargoes

EUROPEAN NATURAL GAS – LONG TERM OUTLOOK

► Declining European domestic production results in higher dependence on imports

► Groningen production is expected to be 1.75 bcf/d in 2019, and phased out by 2030, compared to 5.1 bcf/d in 2012

► The UK’s mature fields face significant declines

► Power sector driven gas demand growth is set to continue

► Coal phase-outs have been mandated within the EU

► Germany (Europe's largest power consumer) recently announced that their first round of plant closures will be completed in 2022, representing 37% of total coal fired generation capacity

► LNG remains an expensive option and will require European gas prices to remain globally competitive

► EU policy has mandated a tighter supply of EUA carbon credits going forward

► Higher price carbon favors gas use in the power sector over coal

PARENTIS SUSTAINABILITY PARTNERSHIP

► Vermilion was the recipient of France’s Circular Economy Award for our project to supply geothermal heat from our oil operation to local greenhouses

► The award recognizes economically successful enterprises that operate within a “circular economy,” in which businesses and processes conserve, reuse and recycle resources

► Prevent the emission of 10,000 tonnes of CO2/year

54

PARTNERSHIP CREATES A NEW ENVIRONMENTALLY AND ECONOMICALLY SUSTAINABLE INDUSTRY

Environmental and Economic Benefits

► Our recycled energy project produces 6,000 tonnes of tomatoes per year and avoids ~10,000 tonnes of CO2-equivalent emissions

► This project created 150 direct agricultural jobs in a region in need of investment

► This long-term, economically and environmentally sustainable local industry is projected to increase to 500 jobs through ongoing

greenhouse investment

► Recycles geothermal energy which is a byproduct of Vermilion’s oil operation

► Tomatoes are consumed locally, rather than imported

Co-Location of Oil Field and Greenhouse

► Located in the Aquitaine Basin, our Parentis Lake is the second largest onshore oil field in Europe

► Vermilion’s Parentis pre-existing office and battery are in the foreground of this aerial photograph

► 10 hectares of tomato-producing greenhouses are now located next to our office to take advantage of our geothermal energy

(background of aerial photograph)

Operation

► Our oil operation produces a mix of hot oil and water, which comes out of the ground naturally heated to 60°C

FIRST NEW DATA ACQUISITION ONSHORE NETHERLANDS SINCE VERMILION ENTERED THE NETHERLANDS IN 2004

Q4 2017 SEISMIC ACQUISITION

► 310 km2 of new 3D seismic acquired in late 2017 in two concessions near Vermilion’s core operating area in the Netherlands

► This new survey has been merged with older data to complete a continuous 3D seismic set over 2,400 km2

► To date, 15 future drilling prospects have been identified, a number of which can be reached from existing wellsites

► This improved seismic imaging will also help de-risk placement of wells at the target level and allow greater use of existing surface locations

► The new data should precipitate quicker permitting timelines and support a larger scale drilling program over time

ROLE OF DOMESTIC GAS IN THE NETHERLANDS

► Production induced seismicity in the Groningen field, including 3.6/3.4 magnitude earthquakes in 2012/2018, has raised public concern regarding overall gas extraction in the Netherlands

► Groningen (largest gas field in Europe of 100 TCF) is orders of magnitude larger than our largest field and Vermilion has no direct exposure to the Groningen field

► Public concern combined with the agreed increase in renewable energy contribution have slowed down the permitting processing by the government; however, the permitting environment is improving

► In March 2018, the Dutch government announced plans to phase out gas production from the Groningen field by 2030 (reduced to 1.2 Bcf/d by 2022), which means that the relative importance of small fields is increasing as >90% of Dutch energy supply comes from traditional sources

► In May 2018, the MEAC reiterated its support towards the Small Fields Policy, noting it as a preferred source of gas supply (vs imports) to facilitate the energy transition, indicating that natural gas will be needed in the energy mix at least until 2050

► New mining legislation effective January 2017 clarified the permitting process for drilling and production, and focuses on public engagement and local governmental input

► We have 21 new drills in various stages of the land and lease and permitting process to support future development

61* Groningen estimates are based on the production restrictions imposed March of 2018. Small Fields forecast is an internal estimate. Domestic Demand is from Gasunie Transport

Project Name Timing Background

Hungary Shallow Gas Play 2019-2021

A portfolio shallow gas prospects can be quickly and inexpensively drilled and

hooked up. Modern 3D seismic allows a high success rate in high

porosity/permeability Upper Miocene sandstone reservoirs.

Hungary Horizontal Drilling Play 2020+A gas-charged, fractured carbonate reservoir appears ideally suited for horizontal

drilling across a large structural closure within Vermilion’s Bekessamson Licence.

Croatia Shallow Gas Play 2019-2023

This is the same shallow gas play which has proven successful in Hungary but is

not yet exploited in Croatia. The field size expectations are larger in Croatia,

where Vermilion holds a dominant land position.

Croatia Oil Exploration 2019-2023

The Croatia oil play focuses on large undrilled anticlines on trend with Croatia’s

most productive oilfields. Natural surface oil seeps establish the viability of the

subsurface oil potential.

Slovakia Trnava Licence 2019+

A series of un-produced gas discoveries made during the 1950’s will be developed

using Vermilion’s newly acquired proprietary 3D seismic data set. Several un-

drilled fault-blocks imaged by 3D will also be tested.

Slovakia Topolcany 2023+New 3D seismic acquisition is planned in across a prospective area immediately

adjacent to the Trnava Licence.

executives was paid in shares

► In 2018, over 86% of Shareholders who voted on our ‘Say on Pay’ proposal were in favour of our approach to

executive compensation and the average ‘Say on Pay’ voting results over the past five years has been over 95%

This presentation and its contents should not be construed, under any circumstances, as investment, tax or legal advice. Any person accepting delivery of this presentation acknowledges the need to conduct their own thorough investigation into Vermilion and its activities before considering any investment in its securities.

Forward-Looking Statements. In the interest of providing information regarding Vermilion, including management's assessment of Vermilion's future plans and operations, certain statements made by the presenter and contained in these presentation materials (collectively, this "presentation") are "forward-looking statements" or "forward-looking information" within the meaning of applicable Canadian and United States securities laws (collectively, "forward-looking statements"). Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as "anticipate", "continue", "estimate", "expect", "forecast", "may", "will", "project", "could", "plan", "intend", "should", "believe", "outlook", "potential", "target", "seek", "budget", "predict", "might" and similar words suggesting future events or future performance. All statements other than statements of historical fact may be forward-looking statements. In addition, statements relating to "reserves" or "resources" are deemed to be forward-looking statements as they involve the implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, that the reserves and resources described exist in the quantities predicted or estimated and can be profitably produced in the future. The net present value of future net revenue of reserves and resources does not represent the fair market value. The forward-looking statements contained in this presentation speak only as of the date of this presentation and are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.

Specifically, this presentation contains forward-looking financial and operational information including information relating to our business strategies, plans and objectives; our growth strategies over the near, medium and long-term including targeted production (including timing to reach peak production from the Corrib field), production mix and related growth rates, composition and quantity of estimated reserves and contingent and prospective resources, reserve-life index, and the related current and future costs of finding, developing and producing estimated reserves and resources; fund flows from operations (FFO) and related growth rates; the sensitivity of our 2019 FFO to changes in West Texas Intermediate (WTI) oil prices, Dated Brent (Brent) oil prices and Title Transfer Facility (TTF) prices based assumptions for natural gas prices and oil pricing differentials in Canada relative to WTI as well as Canada-United States and Canada-Euro foreign exchange rates; compound annual growth rate (CAGR); commodity pricing expectations and anticipated commodity mix and suitability to a dividend growth and growth and income model; net debt levels and net debt to FFO ratios; cash flow and related growth rates and stability; potential free cash flow; dividends and related growth, sustainability and rate of return; anticipated netbacks; planned capital expenditures and our plans for developing our assets and funding our capital expenditures and dividends on our common shares; capital expenditure projections and the allocation of our capital expenditures to various projects and geographic regions; drilling plans; drilling prospects; the existence, operation and strategy of our risk management program, including the portion of future exposures that have been hedged; targeted total returns; anticipated benefits of acquisitions; our business strategy for future growth.

Cash dividends on our common shares are paid at the discretion of our Board of Directors and can fluctuate. In establishing the level of cash dividends, the Board of Directors considers all factors that it deems relevant, including, without limitation, the outlook for commodity prices, our operational execution, the amount of funds from operations and capital expenditures and our prevailing financial circumstances at the time.

This information is based on Vermilion’s current expectations and is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could materially affect future results. These risks include, but are not limited to, general economic risks and uncertainties, future commodity prices, exchange rates, interest rates, geological risk, political risk, regulatory approval risk, production demand, transportation restrictions, risks associated with changes in tax, royalty and regulatory regimes and risks associated with international activities. Additional risks and uncertainties are described in Vermilion’s Annual Information Form, as well as Vermilion’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) which are filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on the SEC’s EDGAR system at www.sec.gov. Due to the risks, uncertainties and assumptions inherent in forward-looking statements, prospective investors in the Company's securities should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Forward looking statements contained in this document are made as of the date hereof and are subject to change. The Company assumes no obligation to revise or update forward looking statements to reflect new circumstances, except as required by applicable securities laws.

All references are to Canadian dollars unless otherwise specified.

This presentation contains certain non-standardized financial measures including net debt and fund flows from operations as well as non-GAAP measures including netbacks that are not determined in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. These measures as presented do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable with calculations of similar measures by other companies. Reference is made to Vermilion's publicly filed documents, including our most recently filed MD&A, for a discussion of these measures, including a reconciliation of fund flows from operations to cash flow from operating activities and net debt to long-term debt. Management believes that, in conjunction with results presented in accordance with IFRS, these measures assist in providing a more complete understanding of certain aspects of Vermilion’s results of operations and financial performance. Investors are cautioned, however, that these measures should not be construed as an alternative to measures determined in accordance with IFRS as an indication of our performance.

Certain natural gas volumes have been converted on the basis of six thousand cubic feet of gas to one barrel equivalent of oil. Barrels of oil equivalent (boe’s) may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet to one barrel of oil is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.

ADVISORY ON RESERVES AND RESOURCE DISCLOSURE

Reserves & Resource Definitions

All reserves and resources estimates in this presentation are derived from evaluation reports (dated February 7, 2019 with an effective date of December 31, 2018 relating to our year-end reserves) prepared by GLJ Petroleum Consultants Ltd. (“GLJ”), an independent qualified reserves evaluator, in accordance with the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook (the "COGEH") and National Instrument 51-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities. The following provides the definitions of the various reserves and resource categories used in this presentation as set out in the COGEH. Reserves are estimated remaining quantities of oil and natural gas and related substances anticipated to be recoverable from known accumulations, as of a given date, based on the analysis of drilling, geological, geophysical and engineering data; the use of established technology; and specified economic conditions, which are generally accepted as being reasonable. Reserves are classified according to the degree of certainty associated with the estimates as follows:

Proved Reserves are those reserves that can be estimated with a high degree of certainty to be recoverable. It is likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the estimated proved (“1P”) reserves.

Probable Reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves. It is equally likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will be greater or less than the sum of the estimated proved plus probable (“2P”) reserves.

"Contingent resource" and “prospective resource” are not, and should not be confused with, petroleum and natural gas reserves. Contingent resource is defined in the COGEH as those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from known accumulations using established technology or technology under development, but which are not currently considered to be commercially recoverable due to one or more contingencies.

Prospective resources are defined in the COGEH as those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from unknown accumulations by application of future development projects. Prospective resources have both an associated chance of discovery (CoDis) and a chance of development (CoDev).

A range of contingent and prospective resource estimates (low, best and high) were prepared by GLJ for each property using deterministic principles and methods. A low estimate is considered to be a conservative estimate of the quantity of the resource that will actually be recovered. It is likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the low estimate. Those resources at the low end of the estimate range have the highest degree of certainty (a 90% confidence level) that the actual quantities recovered will be equal or exceed the estimate. A best estimate is considered to be the best estimate of the quantity of the resource that will actually be recovered. It is equally likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will be greater or less than the best estimate. Those resources that fall within the best estimate have a 50% confidence level that the actual quantities recovered will be equal or exceed the estimate. A high estimate is considered to be an optimistic estimate of the quantity of the resource that will actually be recovered. It is unlikely that the actual remaining quantities of resource recovered will meet or exceed the high estimate. Those resources at the high end of the estimate range have a lower degree of certainty (a 10% confidence level) that the actual quantities recovered will equal or exceed the estimate.

The primary contingencies which currently prevent the classification of the contingent resource as reserves include but are not limited to: preparation of firm development plans, including determination of the specific scope and timing of the project; project sanction; access to capital markets; stakeholder and regulatory approvals; access to required services and field development infrastructure; oil and natural gas prices in Canada and internationally in jurisdictions in which Vermilion operates; demonstration of economic viability; future drilling program and testing results; further reservoir delineation and studies; facility design work; corporate commitment; limitations to development based on adverse topography or other surface restrictions; and the uncertainty regarding marketing and transportation of petroleum from development areas.

There is no certainty that any portion of the prospective resources will be discovered. There is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the contingent resources or prospective resources or that Vermilion will produce any portion of the volumes currently classified as contingent resources or prospective resources. All contingent resources and prospective resources evaluated by GLJ were deemed economic at the effective date of December 31, 2018. The estimates of contingent resources and prospective resources involve implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, that the resources described exist in the quantities predicted or estimated and that the resources can be profitably produced in the future. The risked net present value of the future net revenue from the contingent resources and prospective resources does not represent the fair market value. Actual contingent resources and prospective resources (and any volumes that may be reclassified as reserves) and future production therefrom may be greater than or less than the estimates provided herein.

For more detail, including the forecast price and cost assumptions used by GLJ in preparing their evaluation reports, the chance of development, the chance of discovery, and other country specific contingencies, please refer to Vermilion’s Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2018 available under the Company profile at www.sedar.com.
