Forward Looking Statements & Risk Factors Forward-Looking Statements and Reserve Estimates This presentation contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including statements about our business strategies and plans, plans for future drilling and resource development, prospective levels of capital expenditures and production and operating costs, and estimates of future results. Any statement in this presentation, including any opinions, forecasts, projections or other statements, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. Although we believe the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance such expectations are correct, and actual results may differ materially from those projected. In addition, this presentation includes information about our proved reserves. The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved, probable and possible oil and gas reserves that meet the SEC’s definitions for such terms. This presentation also includes information about oil and gas quantity estimates that are not permitted to be disclosed in SEC filings, including terms or designations such as “estimated ultimate recovery” or “EUR” or “resource” or “resource potential” or other terms bearing similar or related descriptions. These types of estimates do not represent and are not intended to represent any category of reserves based on SEC definitions, do not comply with guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants regarding forecasts of oil and gas reserves estimates, are, by their nature, more speculative than estimates of proved, probable and possible reserves disclosed in SEC filings, and, accordingly, are subject to substantially greater uncertainty of being actually realized. Actual volumes or quantities of oil and gas that may be ultimately recovered will likely differ substantially from such estimates. Factors affecting such ultimate recovery include the scope of our actual drilling program, which will be directly affected by the availability of capital, drilling and production costs, commodity prices, availability of drilling services and equipment, lease expirations, transportation constraints, regulatory approvals, field spacing rules, and actual drilling, completion and production results as well as other factors. These estimates may change significantly as the development of properties provides additional data. This presentation also includes estimates of values attributable to the locations on which such oil and gas quantity estimates are based. The estimates of value set forth in this presentation were calculated based on the assumptions and methodologies set forth in this presentation, which differ materially from the assumptions and methodologies oil and gas companies are required to use in calculating PV-10 values of proved reserves disclosed in SEC filings. As a result, the estimates of values included in this presentation do not represent and are not intended to represent the “PV-10” value that would be attributable to such items if such items were calculated based on applicable SEC requirements. Risk Factors Certain risks and uncertainties inherent in our operating businesses as well as certain on-going risks related to our operational and financial results are set forth in our filings with the SEC, particularly in the section entitled “Risk Factors” included in our most recently-filed Annual Report on Form 10-K, our most recently-filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and from time to time in other filings we make with the SEC. Some of the risks and uncertainties related to our business include, but are not limited to, our ability to decrease our leverage or fixed costs, redeterminations in the Company’s borrowing base under its Credit Facility, increased competition, the timing and extent of changes in prices for oil and gas, particularly in the areas where we own properties, conduct operations, and market our production, as well as the timing and extent of our success in discovering, developing, producing and estimating oil and gas reserves, including from any horizontal wells we drill in the future, the timing and cost of our future production and development activities, our ability to successfully monetize the properties we are marketing, weather and government regulation, and the availability and cost of oil field services, personnel and equipment. Investors are encouraged to review and consider the risk factors set forth in our historical and future SEC filings, as well as any set forth in this presentation, in connection with a review and consideration of this presentation. Our SEC filings are available directly from the Company – please send any requests to Ultra Petroleum Corp. at 116 Inverness Drive East, Suite 400, Englewood, CO 80112 (Attention: Investor Relations). Our SEC filings are also available from the SEC on their website at www.sec.gov.

Recent Events Ultra filed its 10-K on April 15th with a going concern qualification from Ernst & Young LLP, the Company’s independent auditor The going concern qualification is a default under the RBL and Term Loan and results in an Event of Default if not remedied within 30 days On April 15, 2020, Ultra elected not to make the ~$13 MM semi-annual interest payment on its Senior Unsecured Notes and has elected to utilize the 30-day grace period that ends on May 14, 2020 Liquidity planning as of April 15, 2020 – Cash balance of $15.2 MM ($14.6 MM attributed to $15 MM anti-cash hoarding threshold) RBL balance of $52.7 MM plus $10.2 MM of undrawn LCs outstanding As a result of the defaults, effective April 15, Ultra no longer has access to draw on the revolver Cash on hand and revenue receipts to be collected in April will provide adequate liquidity for the business through the anticipated chapter 11 filing date All hedges either settled or monetized for a total of $19.3 MM in May On April 4, 2020, Ultra received an unsolicited indication of interest (“IoI”) letter from a bidder for a sale of substantially all of its assets; the proposed value reflected by this IoI was too low for Ultra to deem such a sale to be an attractive or competitive alternative Ultra Petroleum Corp.

Ultra Petroleum Corp. OTCQX: UPLC – Confidential and Proprietary Exit Financing Considerations Ultra forecasts that ~$50 MM will be needed at emergence to fund repayment of outstanding amounts under the DIP and other closing costs Ultra believes that funding with an Exit RBL Facility would be the most efficient form of financing - Ultra’s continued PDP model post-emergence will provide ability to repay amounts that are drawn at exit within 6-12 months An Exit RBL Facility is a low cost option, especially considering the size of Ultra’s borrowing base relative to its RBL need (Ultra currently operates comfortably with $100 MM facility) Typical for E&Ps to emerge from bankruptcy with an RBL facility The Exit RBL Facility would also be used to support - In-month liquidity needs Hedging capacity without having CSA margin risk LC requirements The potential restart of drilling activity should commodity prices and investment returns warrant capital investment NAV / share accretive transaction funding In-month liquidity needs are driven by the timing of the Company’s revenue - Ultra generally collects receipts around the 25th of every month; a net deficit grows each month up until receipts are collected Needs are increased in months during which production tax payments and interest on any takeback debt may be due Ultra forecasts maximum in-month liquidity needs of ~$45 MM(1) before accounting for interest payments (if applicable) and operating cushion (1)Does not consider LC capacity requirements.

Appendix - Chapter 11 Reorganization Income Taxation Considerations


Slide 35

Reorganization Tax framework Consistent with disclosure in the Form 10-K, the Company currently has significant tax attributes, including the following larger items – NOL carryforward of ~ $2.3 B; Although the Company’s prior restructuring in 2017 resulted in a Section 382 limitation on the NOL, the Company’s historic tax position is that this limitation will not ultimately impose a meaningful limitation on those pre-change NOLs § 163(j) interest deduction carryforward of ~ $80 MM after the additional deduction for 50% of ATI instead of 30% due to the CARES Act Tax basis in oil & gas assets and equipment - ~ $1.45 B Cancelation of Debt (“COD”) Income – In Chapter 11, the COD discharge is totally excluded from the calculation of taxable income without regard to its insolvency However, when COD amounts are excluded from gross income certain tax attributes are reduced based on codified ordering rules – NOLs, general business credits, basis of assets (subject to certain complexities related to consolidated tax groups and an election to reduce tax basis in depreciable property before other attributes) While the COD attribute reduction rules are complex, and the final results of any COD attribute reduction cannot be known with certainty until after a restructuring is consummated, in light of Ultra’s significant NOLs, the Company currently expects that Ultra’s attribute reduction will be limited to NOLs and not other attributes Post-Reorganization, the value of these remaining attributes are impacted by the change of control event and elections made with respect to the year of filing the Chapter 11 restructuring – The Company does not currently expect tax basis in its oil & gas assets of ~$1.45 B to be reduced as a result of the Chapter 11 process Chapter 11 bankruptcy will allow the COD income to be eliminated with the NOL Future NOL availability is directly related to which Chapter 11 bankruptcy exemption election selected by the Company - § 382(l)(5) – If the Company qualifies and does not elect out of its application, the 382 rules would not limit remaining post transaction “old” NOLs – subject to there NOT being a future ownership change within two years of the transaction and to the existing 382 limitation on pre-2017 NOLs; In addition, under section 382(l)(5), these NOLs will be reduced by certain deductions with respect to interest that was accrued but not paid over the last 3 years § 382(l)(6) – If the Company is not eligible for 382(l)(5), or elects not to utilize § 382(l)(5) due to not wanting the future ownership change restrictions, the traditional 382 limitation rules will apply and future availability of remaining “old” NOLs will be significantly limited Creditors’ counsel will have to make the determinations around § 382(l)(5) qualifications Ultra Petroleum Corp. OTCQX: UPLC – Confidential and Proprietary NOTE: ALL COMMENTS REGARDING TAXATION ARE GENERAL AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS NUANCES TO THE TAX CODE THAT EXIST. ADDITIONAL DISCUSSIONS MAY OCCUR WITH ADVISORS AND THE COMPANY AND ITS ADVISORS TO EXPLORE DETAILED QUESTIONS FURTHER.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depletion and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) is defined as Net income (loss) adjusted to exclude restructuring and reorganization costs, interest, taxes, depletion and amortization and certain other non-recurring or non-cash charges.
