Advisories Forward-Looking Information This presentation offers our assessment of Freehold’s future plans and operations as at November 8, 2016 and contains forward-looking information including, expectation of Freehold’s 2016 average daily production, expected percentage of 2016 operating income from royalties, expected annualized dividend, Freehold's 2016 exit net debt to funds from operations, expectation of Freehold’s 2017 average daily production, expected 2017 and 2016 operating costs per boe, expected 2017 and 2016 general and administrative expense per boe, expected 2017 capital expenditures, expectation of 10 years of free drilling on royalty lands, expectation of annual declines on current production (including declines from Husky assets), expected sensitivities of free cash flow to changes in commodity prices, expectations of heavy oil as a percentage of production, expectations of royalty production and royalty acres on a per share basis, expected long term value creation strategy and near term priorities and expected future drilling locations. This forward-looking information is provided to allow readers to better understand our business and prospects and may not be suitable for other purposes. By its nature, forward-looking information is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control, including the impact of general economic conditions, industry conditions, volatility of commodity prices, currency fluctuations, imprecision of reserve estimates, environmental risks, taxation, royalties, stock market volatility, our ability to access sufficient capital from internal and external sources, counterparties to transactions to satisfy their contractual obligations, third parties' ability and willingness to continue development of lands in which Freehold has an interest as expected, and risks inherent in the oil and gas industry. In addition, the paying of dividends is subject to the discretion of the board of directors of Freehold and is subject to a number of factors. As such future dividends are unlikely to reflect the past dividends paid on the common shares. Risks are described in more detail in Freehold's annual information form for the year ended December 31, 2015 which is available under Freehold's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com You are cautioned that the assumptions used in the preparation of such information, although considered reasonable at the time of preparation, may prove to be imprecise and, as such, undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking information. We can give no assurance that any of the events anticipated will transpire or occur, or if any of them do, what benefits we will derive from them. The forward-looking information contained herein is expressly qualified by this cautionary statement. To the extent any guidance or forward looking statements herein constitute a financial outlook, they are included herein to provide readers with an understanding of management's plans and assumptions for budgeting purposes and readers are cautioned that the information may not be appropriate for other purposes. Our policy for updating forward-looking statements is to update our key operating assumptions quarterly and, except as required by law, we do not undertake to update any other forward-looking statements. You are further cautioned that the preparation of financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards requires management to make certain judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. These estimates may change, having either a positive or negative effect on net income, as further information becomes available and as the economic environment changes.

Advisories cont. Non-GAAP Financial Measures Within this presentation, references are made to terms commonly used as key performance indicators in the oil and natural gas industry. We believe that operating income, net debt to funds from operations, operating margin, free cash flow and return on capital employed are useful supplemental measures for management and investors to analyze operating performance, financial leverage, and liquidity, and we use these terms to facilitate the understanding and comparability of our results of operations and financial position. However, these terms do not have any standardized meanings prescribed by Canadian generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and therefore may not be comparable with the calculations of similar measures for other entities. Operating income which is calculated as gross revenue less royalties and operating expenses, represents the cash margin for product sold. Operating margin represents the operating netback versus our realized price. Net debt obligations is long-term debt less working capital (current assets less current liabilities). Net debt to funds from operations is calculated as net debt as a proportion of funds from operations for the previous twelve months. Free cash flow is a measure used by dividend paying companies to provide an estimate of how much cash might be available for the payment of dividends. Free cash flow is calculated by subtracting capital spending from funds from operations. Return on capital employed (“ROCE”) is a financial ratio that measures a company’s profitability and is calculated as net income (loss) before interest and taxes divided by total assets less current liabilities. In addition, this presentation refers to various per boe figures, such as revenues and costs, also considered non-GAAP measures, which provide meaningful information on Freehold's operational performance. Per boe figures are derived by dividing the relevant revenue or cost figure by the total volume of oil and natural gas production during the period, with natural gas converted to equivalent barrels of oil as described above. See Freehold's most recent management's discussion and analysis, which available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com, for more details on Freehold's use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.

Drilling Locations This presentation discloses drilling locations in three categories: (i) proved locations; (ii) probable locations; and (iii) unbooked locations. Proved locations and probable locations are derived from the independent reserves evaluation of Freehold's reserves as at December 31, 2015 prepared by Trimble Engineering Associates Ltd. and account for drilling locations that have associated proved and/or probable reserves, as applicable. Unbooked locations are internal estimates based on Freehold's prospective acreage and an assumption as to the number of wells that can be drilled per section based on industry practice and internal review. Unbooked locations have been identified by management as an estimation of our multi-year drilling activities based on evaluation of applicable geologic, seismic, engineering, production, pricing assumptions and reserves information. There is no certainty that all unbooked drilling locations will be drilled and if drilled there is no certainty that such locations will result in additional oil and gas reserves, resource or production.

All dollar amounts in this presentation are in Canadian dollars, except where noted.

32

Advisories cont. Drilling Locations cont. The drilling locations on which wells are drilled will ultimately depend upon the availability of capital, regulatory approvals, seasonal restrictions, oil and natural gas prices, costs, actual drilling results, additional reservoir information that is obtained and other factors. While the majority of Freehold's unbooked locations are extensions or infills of the drilling patterns already recognized by the independent evaluator, other unbooked drilling locations are farther away from existing wells where management has less information about the characteristics of the reservoir and therefore there is more uncertainty whether wells will be drilled in such locations and if drilled there is more uncertainty that such wells will result in additional oil and gas reserves, resources or production. Barrels of Oil Equivalent (boe) ratio: 6 Mcf = 1 barrel. The 6:1 boe ratio is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip. It does not represent a value equivalency and is not based on either energy content or current prices. While the boe ratio is useful for comparative measures, it does not accurately reflect individual product values and might be misleading, particularly if used insolation. As well, given the value ratio, based on the current price of crude oil to natural gas, is significantly different from the 6:1 energy equivalency ratio, using a 6:1 conversion ratio may be misleading as an indication of value.

All dollar amounts in this presentation are in Canadian dollars, except where noted.
