//COVID 19 NOTICE: In light of the public health emergency associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, the Corporation is requesting all shareholders to refrain from attending the Meeting in person and, instead, to vote by proxy, by mail, by telephone, or on the internet, rather than attending the Meeting in person. The Corporation will limit attendees as required by the restrictions implemented by the State of Texas, Harris County, and the City of Houston at the time of the Meeting. Further restrictions with regard to the Meeting may be implemented by the Corporation as required in accordance with applicable laws and to comply with public health restrictions. At the Meeting, the Corporation may adopt screening or other measures for identifying COVID-19 symptoms or risk factors as may be recommended or required by applicable health authorities. These measures may include requiring registered shareholders or duly appointed proxy holders still wishing to attend the Meeting in person to sign a confirmation letter at the Meeting that they are not a confirmed case of COVID-19 or a close contact of a confirmed case of COVID-19, they are not experiencing cold or flu-like symptoms, including fever, cough, difficulty breathing, muscle aches, fatigue, headache, sore throat or runny nose, and that they have not travelled out of the United States for a period of two weeks preceding the Meeting date. The Corporation reserves the right to refuse admission to a shareholder or proxyholder seeking to attend the Meeting if the Corporation believes the shareholder or proxyholder poses a health risk to attendees at the Meeting or that admission to the Meeting would otherwise breach public health restrictions. In addition, any attendees will be required to practice social distancing at the Meeting.

The Corporation will provide the option for shareholders and proxyholders to “dial-in” to the Meeting through a designated phone number that the Corporation will make available under the “Investor Center” section of its website one day prior to the Meeting. Shareholders and proxyholders who dial-in will be placed in listen-only mode during the formal presentation and will not be counted present for purposes of quorum. Shareholders and proxyholders will not have the opportunity to vote their shares through this “dial-in” option. However, after the formal presentation, the listen-only mode will be removed and shareholders and proxyholders will have the opportunity to ask questions of the Corporation one at a time through a moderator.

In order to permit shareholders and proxyholders to listen to the Meeting without having to attend in person, an audio recording of the Meeting will be available for listening after the Meeting. This recording will be made available under the “Investor Center” section of the Corporation’s website at www.epsilonenergyltd.com.

As the COVID-19 outbreak continues to be a rapidly evolving situation, and in light of changing public health restrictions and recommendations related to COVID-19, there may be changes to the date, time and location of the Meeting, or the Corporation may adjourn or postpone the Meeting. The Corporation will continue to monitor and review state, federal, and local governmental guidance in order to assess and implement measures to reduce the risk of spreading the virus at the Meeting. Any such changes will be communicated by news release which will be made available under the Corporation’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and EDGAR at www.sec.gov.

PROXY STATEMENT FOR EPSILON ENERGY LTD.’S

2021 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

TO BE HELD ON JUNE 16, 2021

GENERAL INFORMATION

This Proxy Statement is being furnished to the holders of the common shares of Epsilon Energy Ltd., an Alberta, Canada, corporation (referred to herein as “Epsilon” and the “Corporation”), in connection with the solicitation by our Board of Directors of proxies to be voted at the 2021 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of Epsilon (the “Annual General Meeting” or the “Meeting”) to be held on Wednesday, June 16, 2021, at 10:00 a.m., Central Daylight Time, at 16945 Northchase Drive, Suite 1610, Houston, Texas 77060, or at any adjournment of the 2021 Annual General Meeting, for the purposes set forth in this proxy statement concerning the 2021 Annual General Meeting.

COVID 19 NOTICE

In light of the public health emergency associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, the Corporation is requesting all shareholders to refrain from attending the Meeting in person and, instead, to vote by proxy, by mail, by telephone, or on the internet, rather than attending the Meeting in person. The Corporation will limit attendees as required by the restrictions implemented by the State of Texas, Harris County, and the City of Houston at the time of the Meeting. Further restrictions with regard to the Meeting may be implemented by the Corporation as required in accordance with applicable laws and to comply with public health restrictions. At the Meeting, the Corporation may adopt screening or other measures for identifying COVID-19 symptoms or risk factors as may be recommended or required by applicable health authorities. These measures may include requiring registered shareholders or duly appointed proxy holders still wishing to attend the Meeting in person to sign a confirmation letter at the Meeting that they are not a confirmed case of COVID-19 or a close contact of a confirmed case of COVID-19, they are not experiencing cold or flu-like symptoms, including fever, cough, difficulty breathing, muscle aches, fatigue, headache, sore throat or runny nose, and that they have not travelled out of the United States for a period of two weeks preceding the Meeting date. The Corporation reserves the right to refuse admission to a shareholder or proxyholder seeking to attend the Meeting if the Corporation believes the shareholder or proxyholder poses a health risk to attendees at the Meeting or that admission to the Meeting would otherwise breach public health restrictions. In addition, any attendees will be required to practice social distancing at the Meeting.

The Corporation will provide the option for shareholders and proxyholders to “dial-in” to the meeting through a designated phone number that the Corporation will make available under the “Investor Center” section of its website one day prior to the Meeting. Shareholders and proxyholders who dial-in will be placed in listen-only mode during the formal presentation and will not be counted present for purposes of quorum. Shareholders and proxyholders will not have the opportunity to vote their shares through this “dial-in” option. However, after the formal presentation, the listen-only mode will be removed and shareholders and proxyholders will have the opportunity to ask questions of the Corporation one at a time through a moderator.

WE STRONGLY ENCOURAGE ALL SHAREHOLDERS TO VOTE BY PROXY RATHER THAN ATTENDING THE MEETING IN PERSON.

The principal executive offices of Epsilon are located at 16945 Northchase Drive, Suite 1610, Houston, Texas 77060.

Although it is expected that the solicitation of proxies will be primarily by mail, proxies may also be solicited personally or by telephone or other proxy solicitation services. In accordance with Canadian National Instrument 54-101, arrangements have been made with brokerage houses and other intermediaries, clearing agencies, custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of the common shares held of record by such persons and the Corporation may reimburse such persons for reasonable fees and disbursements incurred by them in doing so. The costs thereof will be borne by the Corporation.

VOTING INFORMATION

Record Date

This Proxy Statement and the other proxy materials are first being mailed on or about May 19, 2021 to all shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the 2021 Annual General Meeting. Each shareholder as at the Record Date is entitled to one vote for each Common Share of Epsilon held. Shareholders of record will be entitled to vote those shares included in the list of shareholders entitled to vote at the Meeting prepared as at the Record Date, unless any such shareholders transfer their shares after the Record Date and the transferee of those shares establishes that they own the shares and demands, not later than the close of business on the date ten days before the Meeting, that the transferee’s name be included in the list of shareholders entitled to vote at the Meeting, in which case such transferee shall be entitled to vote such shares at the Meeting. We also will begin mailing paper copies of our proxy materials to shareholders who requested them on or about May 19, 2021.

Voting Shares and Principal Shareholders

At the close of business on May 10, 2021 (the “Record Date”), there were 23,985,799 common shares issued and 23,797,984 common shares outstanding. The outstanding common shares are fully paid and non-assessable, with each share carrying the right to one vote. To carry on the business of the 2021 Annual General Meeting, holders of at least 33 1/3 % of the outstanding common shares issued and outstanding as of the Record Date must be present in person or represented by proxy, which will constitute a quorum.

Solicitation of Proxies

The proxy solicitation is made on behalf of the management of the Corporation. Proxies must be received by Computershare Trust Company of Canada, 100 University Avenue, 8th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2Y1, not less than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the Meeting or any adjournment of the Meeting.

The instrument appointing a proxy shall be in writing and shall be executed by the shareholder or the shareholder’s attorney authorized in writing or, if the shareholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal or by an officer or attorney of such corporation duly authorized.

The persons named in the enclosed Proxy (the “Management Designees”) are directors and/or officers of Epsilon. Each shareholder has the right to appoint a proxy holder other than the persons designated in the proxy, who need not be a shareholder, to attend and to act for them and on their behalf at the Meeting. To exercise such right, the names of the nominees of management of the Corporation should be crossed out and the name of the shareholder’s appointee should be legibly printed in the blank space provided.

Revocation of Proxies

A shareholder who has submitted a proxy may revoke it at any time up to and including the close of business on the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment of the Meeting, by signing a statement in writing (or having their attorney, as authorized in writing, sign a statement) to this effect and delivering it to the registered office of the Corporation or to Computershare Trust Company of Canada, 100 University Avenue, 8th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2Y1. If a person who has given a proxy attends personally at the Meeting at which such proxy is to be voted, such person may revoke the proxy at the Meeting and vote in person. In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a proxy may also be revoked by depositing such written statement with the Chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment of the Meeting. However, such person’s ability to revoke the proxy at the Meeting may be limited due to the Corporation’s adherence to restrictions established by the Corporation to comply with State of Texas, Harris County, and the City of Houston’s rules regarding COVID-19. Please see the COVID-19 notice above for more information.

Beneficial Holders of Common Shares

The information set out in this section is of significant importance to many shareholders who do not hold their Common Shares in their own name. Only proxies deposited by shareholders whose names appear on the register of the Corporation as the registered holders of Common Shares can be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting. If Common Shares are listed in your account statement provided by your broker, then in almost all cases those Common Shares will not be registered in your name on the register of the Corporation. Such Common Shares will likely be registered under the name of your broker or an agent of that broker. In Canada, the vast majority of such shares are registered under the name of CDS & Co., the registration name for The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited, which acts as nominees for many Canadian brokerage firms. Common Shares held by your broker or their nominee can only be voted upon with your instructions. Without specific instructions, your broker or their nominee is prohibited from voting your shares.

Therefore, beneficial shareholders should ensure that instructions respecting the voting of their Common Shares are communicated to the appropriate person or entity.

Applicable regulatory policy requires your broker to seek voting instructions from you in advance of the Meeting. Every broker has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions, which you should carefully follow in order to ensure that your shares are voted at the Meeting. Often, the form of proxy supplied by your broker is identical to the Proxy provided to registered shareholders. However, its purpose is limited to instructing the registered shareholder how to vote on your behalf. The majority of brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge. Broadridge mails a scannable voting instruction form in lieu of the Proxy provided by Epsilon. You are asked to complete and return the voting instruction form to them by mail. Alternately, you can call their toll-free telephone number, 1-888-237-1900, or access Broadridge’s internet website at www.broadridge.com to vote your Common Shares. They then tabulate the results of all instructions received and provide appropriate instructions respecting the voting of the Common Shares to be represented at the Meeting. If you receive a voting instruction form from Broadridge it cannot be used as a proxy to vote shares directly at the Meeting as the voting instruction form must be returned to Broadridge well in advance of the Meeting in order to have your Common Shares voted or to appoint an alternative representative to attend at the Meeting in person to vote such Common Shares.

If you are a beneficial shareholder and wish to vote in person at the Meeting, you should insert your own name in the space provided on the voting instruction form provided to you by your nominee and return the completed form to Broadridge.

Appointment of Proxy and Exercise of Discretion by Proxy

If you give directions on how to vote your Common Shares, your proxy holder must vote your shares according to your instructions. If your Proxy or voting instructions form does not specify how to vote on a particular issue, then your proxy holder can vote your shares as he or she sees fit. If your proxy holder does not attend the Meeting and vote in person, your shares will not be voted.

If you have appointed a person designated by Epsilon to act and vote on your behalf as provided in the enclosed Proxy and you do not provide any instructions concerning a matter identified in the Notice, the Common Shares represented by such proxy will be voted as follows:

PROPOSAL 1: FOR setting the number of directors to be elected at the Meeting at eight (8).

PROPOSAL 2: FOR the election of John Lovoi, Michael Raleigh, Matthew Dougherty, Stephen Finlayson, Jacob Roorda, Jason Stankowski, Tracy Stephens and David Winn, each of whom shall hold office for a term of one year, expiring at the annual meeting in 2022, and until his or her successor is elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal.

PROPOSAL 3: FOR the ratification of the appointment of BDO USA, LLP as Epsilon’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2021.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” SETTING THE NUMBER OF DIRECTORS TO BE ELECTED AT THE MEETING AT EIGHT UNDER PROPOSAL 1; “FOR” THE ELECTION OF EACH OF THE NOMINEES LISTED UNDER PROPOSAL 2, AND “FOR” THE RATIFICATION OF AUDITORS UNDER PROPOSAL 3. Your proxy holder also has discretionary authority for amendments that are made to matters identified in the Notice or other matters that properly come before the Meeting. At the time of printing this Proxy Statement, management does not know of any matter to come before the Meeting other than the matters referred to in the Notice.

Reporting Currency

All of the financial information in this Proxy Statement has been presented, unless otherwise noted, in United States dollars. The presentation currency for the December 31, 2020 financial statements of the Corporation is the United States dollars.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE 2021 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Why did I receive these materials?

We are making this Proxy Statement available to you on or around May 19, 2021, because the Board of Directors is soliciting your proxy to vote at the 2021 Annual General Meeting to be held on Wednesday, June 16, 2021, at 10:00 a.m., Central Daylight Time, at 16945 Northchase Drive, Suite 1610, Houston, Texas 77060, or at any adjournment thereof. However, please see the COVID-19 Notice above for restrictions on attending the Meeting in person. The information provided in this Proxy Statement is for your use in deciding how to vote on the proposals described below.

Who is entitled to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting?

You can attend and vote at the 2021 Annual General Meeting if, as of the close of business on May 10, 2021 (the “Record Date”), the record date for the 2021 Annual General Meeting, you were a shareholder of record of Epsilon’s common shares. As of the Record Date, there were 23,985,799 shares issued and 23,797,984 common shares outstanding. Your ability to attend and vote in person may be limited due to public health restrictions implemented to combat the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. Please see the COVID-19 Notice above for more information.

What are the voting rights of each class of stock?

For each proposal, shareholders are entitled to cast one vote for each common share held as of the record date. There are no cumulative voting rights.

What is the difference between a registered shareholder and a shareholder who owns stock in street name?

If you hold Epsilon common shares directly in your name, you are a registered shareholder. If you own Epsilon common shares indirectly through a bank, broker, or other nominee, those shares are held in street name.

How will COVID-19 impact the Annual General Meeting?

The Corporation will limit attendees as required by the restrictions implemented by the State of Texas, Harris County, and the City of Houston at the time of the Meeting. Further restrictions with regard to the Meeting may be implemented by the Corporation as required in accordance with applicable laws and to comply with public health restrictions. At the Meeting, the Corporation may adopt screening or other measures for identifying COVID-19 symptoms or risk factors as may be recommended or required by applicable health authorities. These measures may include requiring registered shareholders or duly appointed proxy holders still wishing to attend the Meeting in person to sign a confirmation letter at the Meeting that they are not a confirmed case of COVID-19 or a close contact of a confirmed case of COVID-19, they are not experiencing cold or flu-like symptoms, including fever, cough, difficulty breathing, muscle aches, fatigue, headache, sore throat or runny nose, and that they have not travelled out of the United States for a period of two weeks preceding the Meeting date. The Corporation reserves the right to refuse admission to a shareholder or proxyholder seeking to attend the Meeting if the Corporation believes the shareholder or proxyholder poses a health risk to attendees at the Meeting or that admission to the Meeting would otherwise breach public health restrictions. In addition, any attendees will be required to practice social distancing at the Meeting.

WE STRONGLY ENCOURAGE ALL SHAREHOLDERS TO VOTE BY PROXY RATHER THAN ATTENDING THE MEETING IN PERSON.

Can I vote my shares before the Annual General Meeting?

Yes. If you are a registered shareholder, you can vote your shares before the Annual General Meeting by telephone, internet or mail, as set out in the accompanying instrument of proxy.

If your shares are held in street name, your bank, broker or other nominee may provide you with a voting instruction form that provides instructions on how to access our proxy materials and vote online or to request a paper or email copy of our proxy materials. If you received these materials in paper form, the materials included a vote instruction form so you can instruct your bank, broker or other nominee how to vote your shares.

Please see the information your bank, broker or other nominee provided you for more information on these voting options.

Can I vote in person at the 2021 Annual General Meeting instead of by proxy?

If you are a registered shareholder, you can vote at the 2021 Annual General Meeting any shares that were registered in your name as the shareholder of record as of the record date.

If your shares are held in street name, you cannot vote those shares at the 2021 Annual General Meeting unless you have a legal proxy from your bank, broker or other nominee. If you plan to attend and vote your street-name shares at the 2021 Annual General Meeting, you should request a legal proxy from your broker, bank or other nominee and bring it with you to the 2021 Annual General Meeting.

Due to the public health restrictions implemented to combat the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, including restrictions implemented by the State of Texas, Harris County, and the City of Houston, taking into account the health and safety of our employees, shareholders, service providers, and other shareholders, the Corporation is requesting all shareholders to vote by proxy, mail, telephone, or on the internet, rather than attending the Meeting in person to vote. The Corporation will limit attendees as required by these restrictions at the time of the Meeting, and further restrictions with regard to the Meeting may be implemented by the Corporation as required in accordance with applicable laws and to comply with public health restrictions, all of which could limit your ability to vote in person.

What will happen if I submit my proxy but do not vote on a proposal?

If you submit a valid proxy but fail to provide instructions on how you want your shares to be voted, properly submitted proxies will be voted:

•

FOR setting the number of directors to be elected at the Meeting at eight.

•

FOR the election of John Lovoi, Michael Raleigh, Matthew Dougherty, Stephen Finlayson, Jacob Roorda, Jason Stankowski, Tracy Stephens and David Winn, each of whom shall hold office for a term of one year, expiring at the annual meeting in 2022, and until his or her successor is elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal.

•

FOR ratification of the appointment of BDO USA, LLP as Epsilon’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2021.

What will happen if I neither submit my proxy nor vote my shares in person at the 2021 Annual General Meeting?

If you are a registered shareholder, your shares will not be voted.

If your shares are held in street name, your bank, broker or other nominee may vote your shares on certain “routine” matters. The ratification of independent auditors is currently considered to be a routine matter. On this matter, your bank, broker or other nominee can:

•

Vote your street-name shares even though you have not provided voting instructions; or

•

Choose not to vote your shares.

The other matters you are being asked to vote on are not routine and cannot be voted by your bank, broker or other nominee without your instructions. When a bank, broker or other nominee is unable to vote shares for this reason, it is called a “broker non-vote.”

What does it mean if I receive more than one set of materials?

You probably have multiple accounts with us and/or banks, brokers or other nominees. You should vote all of the shares represented by the proxy cards and/or voting instruction forms. Certain banks, brokers or other nominees have procedures in place to discontinue duplicate mailings upon a shareholder’s request. You should contact your bank, broker or other nominee for more information.

How many shares must be present to conduct business at the 2021 Annual General Meeting?

To carry on the business of the 2021 Annual General Meeting, holders of at least 33 1/3 % of the outstanding common shares issued and outstanding as of the record date must be present in person or represented by proxy, which will constitute a quorum.

Shareholders and proxyholders who “dial-in” to the Meeting will be placed in a listen-only mode during the formal presentation by the Corporation and will not be counted in the quorum count.

What vote is required to approve each proposal?

All ordinary resolutions require, for the passing of the same, a simple majority of the votes cast at the Meeting by the holders of Common Shares.

Because your votes are advisory on Proposal 3, they will not be binding on the Board of Directors or the Corporation.

How are votes counted?

For Proposal 1, to set the number of directors at eight, you may vote “FOR” or “AGAINST.” Abstentions and non-votes will not be counted as votes FOR or AGAINST Proposal 1.

In the election of directors, Proposal 2, you may vote “FOR” all or some of the nominees or your vote may be “WITHHOLD” with respect to one or more of the nominees.

For Proposal 3, you may vote “FOR” the ratification of the independent auditor or you may “WITHHOLD” your vote.

If you provide specific instructions with regard to certain items, your shares will be voted as you instruct on such items. If no instructions are indicated on a properly executed proxy card or over the telephone or Internet, the shares will be voted as recommended by our board of directors. (See “What will happen if I submit my proxy but do not vote on a proposal?” above for additional information.)

Will any other business be transacted at the Meeting? If so, how will my proxy be voted?

Management does not know of any business to be transacted at the 2021 Annual General Meeting other than those matters described in this Proxy Statement.

What will constitute a quorum?

At least 33 1/3% of the outstanding common shares must be present in person or by proxy to constitute a quorum for the Meeting.

Who will pay the cost of soliciting votes for the 2021 Annual General Meeting?

Epsilon will bear the entire cost of solicitation of proxies, including the preparation, assembly, printing, and mailing of this Proxy Statement and the accompanying materials. The largest expense in the proxy process is printing and mailing the proxy materials. Proxies also may be solicited on behalf of Epsilon by directors, officers or employees of Epsilon in person or by mail or telephone. No additional compensation will be paid to such directors, officers, or employees for soliciting proxies. We have engaged Computershare Trust Company of Canada (“Computershare”) to assist us in the distribution of proxies. We will also reimburse brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their expenses incurred in sending our proxy materials to beneficial owners of our common stock as of the record date. Under Canadian National Instrument 54-101, arrangements have been made with brokerage houses and other intermediaries, clearing agencies, custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of the Common Shares held of record by such persons and the Corporation may reimburse such persons for reasonable fees and disbursements incurred by them in doing so. The costs thereof will be borne by the Corporation.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The audited consolidated financial statements of Epsilon for the year ended December 31, 2020, and the report of the auditor thereon, will be placed before the Meeting. Copies of such financial statements may be obtained from Epsilon upon request and will be available at the Meeting. No vote by the shareholders with respect to the financial statements is required. The audited consolidated financial statements were audited by BDO USA, LLP of Houston, Texas and approved by the Audit Committee of the Board.

PROPOSAL 1 SETTING THE NUMBER OF DIRECTORS

Shareholders of the Corporation will be asked to consider and, if thought appropriate, to approve and adopt an ordinary resolution fixing the number of directors to be elected at the Meeting. In order to be effective, an ordinary resolution requires the approval of a majority of the votes cast by shareholders who vote in respect of the resolution.

At the Meeting, it will be proposed that eight (8) directors be elected to hold office until the next annual general meeting or until their successors are elected or appointed. Unless otherwise directed, it is the intention of the Management Designees, if named as proxy, to vote in favor of the ordinary resolution fixing the number of directors to be elected at the Meeting at eight (8).

PROPOSAL 2 ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

At the 2021 Annual General Meeting, our shareholders will be asked to elect eight (8) directors for a one-year term expiring at the next annual meeting of shareholders. Each director will hold office until his or her successor has been elected and qualified or until the director’s earlier death, resignation or removal.

Recommendation of our Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors recommends voting “FOR” the election of each of the Director nominees as directors, each of whom shall hold office for a term of one year, expiring at the annual meeting in 2022, and until his or her successor is elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal.

Each proxy or vote instruction form will be voted for the election of each of the Director nominees as directors, unless the proxy contains contrary instructions. Common shares represented by proxies received by the Board of Directors and not so marked as to withhold authority to vote for any individual nominee or for all nominees will be voted (unless one or more nominees are unable to serve) for the election of the nominees named below. The Board of Directors knows of no reason why any such nominee should be unable or unwilling to serve.

Majority Voting Policy

In March 2016, the Board adopted a policy to the effect that, in an uncontested election of directors, any nominee who receives a greater number of “withheld” votes than “for” votes will be considered to have not received the support of the shareholders of the Corporation and will be expected to immediately withdraw himself or herself from consideration and, if he or she is then currently a member of the Board, submit his or her resignation to the Board. Upon receipt of such resignation, the Chairman of the Board will meet with the Compensation, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, with a view to making a recommendation to the Board. The Board will make its decision within 90 days from the date of resignation. The Board shall accept the resignation unless it determines that exceptional circumstances would warrant the applicable director continuing to serve on the Board. The resignation will be effective when accepted by the Board. A director who submits his or her resignation pursuant to this policy will not participate in any deliberations of the Board or Compensation, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee with respect to the resignation. Following the Board’s decision on the resignation, the Board will promptly disclose, by way of a news release, its decision whether or not to accept the director’s resignation and, if the Board does not accept the resignation, the full reasons for rejecting the tendered resignation.

(ii)

any other penalties or sanctions imposed by a court or regulatory body that would likely be considered important to a reasonable investor in making an investment decision.

Corporate Governance Policies and Practices

Our corporate governance practices and policies are administered by the board of directors and by committees of the board appointed to oversee specific aspects of our management and operations, pursuant to written charters and policies adopted by the board and such committees.

The Board of Directors

The Board is committed to a high standard of corporate governance practices. The Board believes that this commitment is not only in the best interests of the shareholders but that it also promotes effective decision-making at the Board level. The Board is of the view that its approach to corporate governance is appropriate and complies with the objectives and guidelines relating to corporate governance set out in National Instrument 58-201 adopted by the Canadian securities administrators, or NI 58-201, as well as the governance requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market. In addition, the Board monitors and considers for implementation the corporate governance standards that are proposed by various Canadian regulatory authorities or that are published by various non-regulatory organizations in Canada. The Board has also established a Compensation, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and has adopted Compensation, Nominating and Corporate Governance Charters to ensure the objectives of NI 58-201 and the NASDAQ Capital Market are met.

The Board is currently composed of eight directors who provide us with a wide diversity of business experience. Our Board has determined that Messrs. Jacob Roorda, Tracy Stephens, Matthew Dougherty, Stephen Finlayson, Jason Stankowski, and David Winn are independent in accordance with the listing requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market, representing over 50% of the Board. More than 50% of the Board is independent in accordance with the listing requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market. Each of the independent directors has no direct or indirect material relationship with us, including any business or other relationship, that could reasonably be expected to interfere with the director’s ability to act with a view to our best interests or that could reasonably be expected to interfere with the exercise of the director’s independent judgment.

Mr. Lovoi is the Managing Partner of JVL Advisors, LLC, and Mr. Raleigh is our Chief Executive Officer, and therefore are not independent directors.

The Board held 14 meetings during 2020, including 6 meetings of the full Board, 4 meetings of the Audit Committee and 4 Special Committee meetings. All Board meetings were conducted with open and candid discussions. As such, the independent directors did not hold any separate meetings, other than Audit and Compensation, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee meetings that excluded directors who were not independent. The chairman of the Board is not an independent director. The independent members of the Board have the ability to meet on their own and are authorized to retain independent financial, legal and other experts as required whenever, in their opinion, matters come before the Board that require an independent analysis by the independent members of the Board. The Board intends to hold at least four regular meetings each year, as well as additional meetings as required. The Board has not established any required attendance levels for the Board and committee meetings. In setting the regular meeting schedule, care is taken to ensure that meeting dates are set to accommodate directors’ schedules so as to encourage full attendance. All seven of the then current directors attended the 2020 Annual General Meeting.

When Mr. Roebuck resigned as a director effective January 21, 2021, the Board appointed two new directors, Mr. Jason Stankowski and Mr. David Winn. One of the new directors was appointed to fill the vacancy created by Mr. Roebuck’s resignation, and a new seat was created by the Board to expand the number of directors to eight (8). This action took effect on the same date as Mr. Roebuck’s resignation. The table below provides details regarding the attendance of our directors during 2020:

Director	Total of Board Meetings and Committee Meetings Attended		Percentage of Meetings Attended
John Lovoi		5/6		83	%
Michael Raleigh		5/6		83	%
Matthew Dougherty		6/6		100	%
Ryan Roebuck		12/14		86	%
Jacob Roorda		14/14		100	%
Tracy Stephens		10/10		100	%
Stephen Finlayson		14/14		100	%

The Board has stewardship responsibilities, including responsibilities with respect to oversight of our investments, management of the Board, monitoring of our financial performance, financial reporting, financial risk management and oversight of policies and procedures, communications and reporting and compliance. In carrying out its mandate, the Board meets regularly and a broad range of matters are discussed and reviewed for approval. These matters include overall plans and strategies, budgets, internal controls and management information systems, risk management as well as interim and annual financial and operating results. The Board is also responsible for the approval of all major transactions, including property acquisitions, property divestitures, equity issuances and debt transactions, if any. The Board strives to ensure that our corporate actions correspond closely with the objectives of its shareholders. The Board will meet at least once annually to review in depth our strategic plan and review our available resources required to carry out our growth strategy and to achieve its objectives.

Mandate of the Board.

The Board does not have a written mandate. The Board has stewardship responsibilities, including responsibilities with respect to oversight of the Corporation’s investments, management of the Board, monitoring of the Corporation’s financial performance, financial reporting, financial risk management and oversight of policies and procedures, communications and reporting and compliance. In carrying out its mandate, the Board meets regularly and a broad range of matters are discussed and reviewed for approval. These matters include overall plans and strategies, budgets, internal controls and management information systems, risk management as well as interim and annual financial and operating results. The Board is also responsible for the approval of all major transactions, including property acquisitions, property divestitures, equity issuances and debt transactions, if any. The Board strives to ensure that actions taken by the Corporation correspond closely with the objectives of its shareholders. The Board will meet at least once annually to review in depth the Corporation’s strategic plan and review the Corporation’s available resources required to carry out the Corporation’s growth strategy and to achieve its objectives.

Position Descriptions.

The Board has outlined the responsibilities in respect to our Chief Executive Officer, or CEO. The Board and CEO do not have a written position description for the CEO; however, the CEO’s principal duties and responsibilities are planning our strategic direction, providing leadership, acting as our spokesperson, reporting to shareholders, and overseeing our executive management in particular with respect to operations and finance.

The charter for each of the Board committees outlines the duties and responsibilities of the members of each of the committees, including the chair of such committees. See “Board Committees” below.

Orientation and Continuing Education.

We have not adopted a formalized process of orientation for new Board members. However, all directors have been provided with a base line of knowledge about us that serves as a basis for informed decision making. This includes a combination of written material, in person meetings with our senior management, site visits and other briefings and training, as appropriate.

Directors are kept informed as to matters affecting, or that may affect, our operations through reports and presentations at the quarterly Board meetings. Special presentations on specific business operations are also provided to the Board.

Code of Ethics and Whistleblower Policy

Our Code of Ethics and Whistleblower Policy are available on our website at http://www.epsilonenergyltd.com. Each director is expected to disclose all actual or potential conflicts of interest and refrain from voting on matters in which such director has a conflict of interest. In addition, a director must recuse himself from any discussion or decision on any matter of which the director is precluded from voting as a result of a conflict of interest. The Board has reviewed and approved a disclosure and insider trading policy for us, in order to promote consistent disclosure practices aimed at informative, timely and broadly disseminated disclosure of material information to the market in accordance with applicable securities legislation. The disclosure policy promotes, among other things, the disclosure and reporting of any serious weaknesses which may affect the financial stability and assets of us and our operating entities.

The listing standards of the NASDAQ Capital Market require the Audit Committee to establish formal procedures for (a) the receipt, retention, and treatment of complaints received by us and our subsidiaries regarding accounting, internal accounting controls, or auditing matters and (b) the confidential, anonymous submission by our consultants or employees of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters. We are committed to achieving compliance with all applicable securities laws and regulations, accounting standards, accounting controls and audit practices. In addition, we post on our website all disclosures that are required by law or the listing standards of the NASDAQ Capital Market concerning any amendments to, or waivers from, any provision of the code, and is updated as necessary.

Assessments

The Board does not conduct regular assessments of the Board, its committees or individual directors, however, the Board does periodically review and satisfy itself at meetings that the Board, its committees and its individual directors are performing effectively.

Nomination of Directors

The mandate of the Compensation, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee includes consideration of issues related to the selection, nomination, and education of the directors. The Compensation, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee consists of Matthew Dougherty (chairman), Tracy Stephens, and Stephen Finlayson, all of whom are independent directors as defined in the listing standards of NASDAQ. Ryan Roebuck resigned from this committee in January, 2021 and was replaced by Stephen Finlayson.

Director Terms Limits

The Board has not adopted term limits for directors because of the relatively small size of the Board. The Board is mindful of the ratio of the independent and management Board members and this will be a factor in future Board appointments. The Board has been focused on working closely as a team to develop the skills necessary for the business of the Corporation. The need for a retirement policy is not an immediate concern for the Board. The full Board reviews the need for director term limits intermittently and will institute one should the need arise.

The Board is open to possible new Board members who can add value to the Board, bring new or a greater depth of particular skill sets necessary to successfully oversee the business of the Corporation and who can successfully operate within a team environment.

Policies Regarding the Representation of Women on the Board

The Corporation does not have a formal policy regarding identification and nomination of women to the Board. The Compensation, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee generally identifies, evaluates and recommends candidates for nomination as directors with the goal of creating a Board that, as a whole, consists of individuals with various and relevant career experience, industry knowledge and experience, and financial and other specialized expertise.

When searching for nominees for directors, the Compensation, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has and does consider gender diversity. The Board takes gender into consideration as part of its overall recruitment and selection considerations. Accordingly, when searching for new directors, the Compensation, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider the level of female representation.

Consideration of the Representation of Women in the Director Identification and Selection Process

The Compensation, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee takes gender into consideration as part of its overall recruitment and selection process in respect of potential candidates for the Board. Accordingly, when searching for new directors, the Compensation, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider the level of female representation on the Board. This will be achieved by monitoring the level of female representation on the Board and, where appropriate, recruiting qualified female candidates as part of the Corporation’s overall recruitment and selection process to fill Board positions, as the need arises, through vacancies, growth or otherwise.

Consideration of the Representation of Women in the Executive Officer Appointments

The Corporation is also sensitive to the representation of women when considering executive officer appointments. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, there are no women occupying executive officer positions with the Corporation. However, the Corporation is committed to ongoing review with respect to the gender diversity of its executive officers.

Targets Regarding the Representation of Women on the Board and in Executive Officer Positions

The Corporation has not adopted a formal target regarding women in executive officer positions. However, as noted above, the Corporation is committed to promoting diversity and will, in the future, seek to identify talented women to fulfill Board and executive positions.

Number of Women on the Board and in Executive Officer Positions

The Corporation does not currently have any women on its Board or in executive officer positions.

Board Committees

The Board has three committees. The committees are the Audit Committee, the Compensation, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, and the Conflicts Committee. Each committee has been constituted with independent directors.

The Audit Committee met four times during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. The Audit Committee meets at least on a quarterly basis to review and approve our consolidated financial statements before the financial statements are publicly filed.

The Audit Committee reviews our interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and annual audited consolidated financial statements and certain corporate disclosure documents including the Annual Information Form, Management’s Discussion and Analysis, and annual and interim earnings press releases before they are approved by the Board. The Audit Committee reviews and makes a recommendation to the Board in respect of the appointment and compensation of the external auditors and it monitors accounting, financial reporting, control and audit functions. The Audit Committee meets to discuss and review the audit plans of external auditors and is directly responsible for overseeing the work of the external auditors with respect to preparing or issuing the auditors’ report or the performance of other audit, review or attest services, including the resolution of disagreements between management and the external auditors regarding financial reporting. The Audit Committee questions the external auditors independently of management and reviews a written statement of its independence. The Audit Committee must be satisfied that adequate procedures are in place for the review of our public disclosure of financial information extracted or derived from its consolidated financial statements and it periodically assesses the adequacy of those procedures. The Audit Committee must approve or pre-approve, as applicable, any non-audit services to be provided to us by the external auditors. In addition, it reviews and reports to the Board on our risk management policies and procedures and reviews the internal control procedures to determine their effectiveness and to ensure compliance with our policies and avoidance of conflicts of interest. The Audit Committee has established procedures for dealing with complaints or confidential submissions which come to its attention with respect to accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters. To date, neither the Board nor the Audit Committee has formally assessed any individual director with respect to their effectiveness and contribution to us in their capacity as a director. Instead, members of the Board have relied on informal conversations among themselves to adequately cover such matters.

The Audit Committee operates under a written charter that satisfies the applicable standards of the SEC and The NASDAQ Capital Market. The Audit Committee reviews and reassesses the adequacy of its charter on an annual basis. Committee members are not employees of the Corporation or accountants or auditors by profession. A copy of the Audit Committee Charter can be found on our website at www.epsilonenergyltd.com.

Compensation, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Compensation, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee currently comprises Matthew Dougherty (chairman), Tracy Stephens and Stephen Finlayson. Ryan Roebuck resigned from this committee in January 2021. All three members of this committee are independent directors. Before July 2013, we had separate compensation committee and nominating and corporate governance committees. Both committees’ mandates were approved by the Board on December 10, 2009. In July 2013, the Board consolidated the functions of the two committees for efficiency purposes. We continue to find this consolidation beneficial.

The Compensation, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s mandate is to:

Assist and advise the Board regarding its responsibility for oversight of our compensation policy; provided that all determinations on officer compensation will be subject to review and approval by the Board;

Study and evaluate appropriate compensation mechanisms and criteria;

Develop and establish appropriate compensation policies and practices for the Board and our senior management, including our security-based compensation arrangements;

Evaluate senior management;

Serve in an advisory capacity on organizational and personnel matters to the Board;

Assist the Board by identifying individuals qualified to serve on the Board and its committees;

Recommend to the Board the director nominees for the next annual meeting;

Recommend to the Board members and chairpersons for each committee;

Develop and recommend to the Board and review from time to time, a set of corporate governance principles and monitor compliance with such principles; and

10.

Serve in an advisory capacity on matters of governance structure and the conduct of the Board.

These responsibilities include reporting and making recommendations to the Board for their consideration and approval. The Compensation, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not have a policy regarding consideration of director candidates recommended by security holders. The Compensation, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers a wide range of factors, including those listed in the paragraph below, in its searches when making nomination recommendations to the Board. Corporate governance also relates to the activities of the Board, the members of which are elected by and are accountable to the shareholders and takes into account the role of the individual members of management who are appointed by the Board and who are charged with the day-to-day management of us. The Board is committed to sound corporate governance practices, which are both in the interest of its shareholders and contribute to effective and efficient decision making.

Board Diversity.

Our Compensation, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for reviewing with the board of directors, on an annual basis, the appropriate characteristics, skills and experience required for the board of directors as a whole and its individual members. In evaluating the suitability of individual candidates (both new candidates and current members), the nominating and corporate governance committee, in recommending candidates for election, and the board of directors, in approving (and, in the case of vacancies, appointing) such candidates, will take into account many factors, including the following:

•

personal and professional integrity, ethics and values;

•

experience in corporate management, such as serving as an officer or former officer of a publicly held company;

•

experience as a board member or executive officer of another publicly held company;

•

strong finance experience;

•

diversity of expertise and experience in substantive matters pertaining to our business relative to other board members;

•

diversity of background and perspective, including, but not limited to, with respect to age, gender, race, place of residence and specialized experience;

•

experience relevant to our business industry and with relevant social policy concerns; and

•

relevant academic expertise or other proficiency in an area of our business operations.

When searching for nominees for directors, the Compensation, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers gender diversity. The Board takes gender into consideration as part of its overall recruitment and selection considerations. Accordingly, when searching for new directors, the Compensation, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider the level of female representation. This will be achieved by monitoring the level of female representation on the Board and, where appropriate, recruiting qualified female candidates as part of the Corporation’s overall recruitment and selection process to fill Board positions, as the need arises, through vacancies, growth or otherwise.

Currently, our Board evaluates each individual in the context of the board of directors as a whole, with the objective of assembling a group that can best maximize the success of the business and represent shareholder interests through the exercise of sound judgment using its diversity of experience in these various areas.

The Compensation, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee operates under a written charter that satisfies the applicable standards of the SEC and The NASDAQ Capital Market. The Compensation, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews and reassesses the adequacy of its charter annually. A copy of such charter can be found on our website at www.epsilonenergyltd.com. The Compensation, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not conduct separate meetings, but instead meets and confers in conjunction with other meetings of the Board.

Conflicts Committee. The Conflicts Committee comprises Jacob Roorda (Committee Chairman), Tracy Stephens and Stephen Finlayson, all of whom are independent directors under NASDAQ listing rules. Ryan Roebuck resigned from this committee in January, 2021 and was replaced by Stephen Finlayson.

The Conflicts Committee has the power to advise the Board with respect to any matters or issues of concern to the Conflicts Committee in connection with any corporate opportunity and the interests of a related or conflicted party that the Conflicts Committee considers necessary or advisable.

Prohibitions on Hedging, Insider Trading and Pledging Corporation Securities

Our Insider Trading Policy provides that our officers, directors, employees, and consultants who are aware of material nonpublic information may not, directly or indirectly, buy or sell securities of the Corporation other than pursuant to a trading plan that complies with Rule 10b5-1 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

The following graph compares cumulative shareholder return commencing on December 31, 2013 and ending on December 31, 2020 (assuming a $100 investment was made on December 31, 2013) with the cumulative total return of S&P/TSX Composite Index and TSX Capped Energy Index.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The Compensation, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board considers compensation matters as and when required. The Compensation Committee reviews and submits recommendations to the Board with respect to the Corporation’s executive compensation policies and the compensation paid to the Corporation’s executive officers. The Compensation Committee also reviews the design and competitiveness of the Corporation’s compensation and benefit programs generally and has the authority to recommend to the Board for its approval amendments to, and grants pursuant to, such programs.

Compensation Philosophy

The Corporation offers market-based pay for performance to ensure that the Corporation has the ability to attract and retain high quality personnel. Consistent with the emphasis on attracting top quality personnel, the Corporation offers competitive salaries in order to attract the best employees available. The Corporation’s executive compensation policy is designed to provide for the enhancement of shareholder value, the successful implementation of the Corporation’s business plans and a link between executive compensation and the financial performance of the Corporation.

The objectives of the Corporation’s executive compensation policy are to:

(a)

attract, retain and motivate executives critical to the success of the Corporation;

(b)

provide fair, competitive and cost-effective compensation programs to its executives;

(c)

link the interests of management with those of the Shareholders; and

(d)

provide rewards for outstanding corporate and individual performance.

The Compensation Committee will review on an annual basis the cash compensation, performance and overall compensation package for each executive officer. It will then submit to the Board its recommendations with respect to the basic salary, bonus and participation in long-term incentive plans for each executive officer.

Basic Salary

In determining the basic salary of an executive officer, the Compensation Committee places equal weight on the following factors:

(a)

the particular responsibilities related to the position;

(b)

salaries paid by comparable businesses;

(c)

the experience level of the executive officer; and

(d)

his or her overall performance.

Bonus Payments

Executive officers are eligible for annual cash bonuses or performance stock unit awards, after taking into account and giving equal weight to, financial performance, attainment of certain corporate objectives and individual performance. In taking into account the financial performance aspect, it is recognized that executive officers cannot control certain factors, such as interest rates and commodity prices. When applying the financial performance criteria, the Compensation Committee considers factors over which the executive officers can exercise control, such as meeting budget targets established by the Board at the beginning of each year, controlling costs, taking successful advantage of business opportunities and enhancing the competitive and business prospects of the Corporation. There are no pre-established payout ranges.

General

The Board of Directors is satisfied that there were not any identified risks arising from the Corporation’s compensation plans or policies that would have had any negative or material impact on the Corporation. The Corporation does not have any policy in place to permit an executive officer or director to purchase financial instruments, including, for greater certainty, prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, or units of exchange funds, that are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in market value of equity securities granted as compensation or held, directly or indirectly, by the executive officer or director.

Summary Compensation Table

The following table sets out information concerning the compensation paid to our principal executive officer and our two most highly compensated executive officers other than our principal executive officer, or our named executive officers for the three-years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018.

To meet Nasdaq listing standards, the shareholders of the Corporation on December 19, 2018 approved a consolidation of the issued and outstanding common shares on the basis of one (1) new common share for up to every existing two (2) common shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the consolidation (the “Consolidation”). The common shares commenced trading on a post-Consolidation basis on the TSX on December 24, 2018. As noted above, the Common Shares are currently trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market and were voluntarily delisted from the TSX on March 15, 2019. The common shares began trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market on February 19, 2019. All share amounts and per share data are presented in these statements on a post-Consolidation basis.

The 2020 Plan is administered by the Board, a committee of the Board or one or more officers delegated authority by the Board to administer the 2020 Plan. The Board has the authority in its discretion to interpret the 2020 Plan. The Board determines to whom stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and stock units, performance shares and units, other stock-based awards and cash-based awards are granted, subject to options and all other terms and conditions of the awards.

The maximum number common shares that may be issued under the 2020 Plan is 2,000,000. As of December 31, 2020, 214,000 performance stock units (“PSUs”), and 111,900 time-based restricted shares were outstanding, leaving 1,674,100 shares available to be granted under the 2020 Plan.

If the shares granted under the 2020 Plan expire or terminate for any reason without having been issued, they again become available for grant under the 2020 Plan. Shares granted under the 2020 Plan are not transferable or assignable other than by will or other testamentary instrument or the laws of succession.

In the event we undergo a change of control by a reorganization, acquisition, amalgamation or merger (or a plan or arrangement in connection with any of these) with respect to which all or substantially all of the persons who were the beneficial owners of the common shares immediately prior to such transaction do not, following such transaction, beneficially own, directly or indirectly more than 50% of the resulting voting power, a sale of all, or substantially all, of the Company’s assets, or the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, outstanding awards shall be subject to the definitive agreement entered into by the Company in connection with the change of control.

If an award holder resigns from the Company or is terminated by the Company (with or without cause), unvested shares will immediately be forfeited.

On a biannual basis, we compensate each director for services rendered (unless a director elects not to receive payment) and reimburse reasonable out-of-pocket travel expenses when incurred.

Management Contracts

During the most recently completed financial year, no management functions of the Corporation were to any substantial degree performed by a person or company other than the directors or executive officers (or private companies controlled by the, either directly or indirectly) of the Corporation.

Interest of Certain Persons in Matters to be Acted Upon

None of the directors, officers or nominees for election as a director of the Corporation, or any of their associates or affiliates, has or has had any substantial interest, direct or indirect, in any matter to be acted upon at the Meeting other than as set out in this Proxy Statement which is not shared by all our other shareholders.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The information contained in this Audit Committee Report and references in this proxy statement to the independence of the Audit Committee members shall not be deemed to be “soliciting material” or to be “filed” with the SEC, nor shall such information be incorporated by reference into any future filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), except to the extent that the Corporation specifically incorporates such information by reference in such filing.

Epsilon has determined that all members of the Audit Committee are independent and financially literate under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the NASDAQ Capital Market.

Under the guidance of a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors, the purpose of the Audit Committee is to oversee the accounting and financial reporting processes of Epsilon and audits of its financial statements. The responsibilities of the Audit Committee include appointing and providing for the compensation of Epsilon’s independent registered public accounting firm and approving the audit and non-audit services to be provided by the independent registered public accounting firm. Each of the members of the Audit Committee meets the independence requirements of Nasdaq.

Management has primary responsibility for the system of internal controls and the financial reporting process. BDO USA, LLP, Epsilon’s independent registered public accounting firm (“BDO USA, LLP”), has the responsibility to express an opinion on the financial statements based on an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.

In this context and in connection with the audited financial statements contained in Epsilon’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 with Epsilon’s management and BDO USA, LLP. The Audit Committee has considered the adequacy of the Corporation’s internal controls and the quality of its financial reporting, and discussed these matters with management and with BDO US, LLP. The Audit Committee has also reviewed and discussed with BDO USA, LLP (1) their judgments as to the quality of the Epsilon’s accounting policies, (2) the written disclosures and letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required by Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Independence Rules, and the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence, and (3) the matters required to be discussed by Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s (the “PCAOB”) Statement of Auditing Standards No. 61, Communication with Audit Committees, as amended and PCAOB AS No. 90. The Audit Committee has also discussed with BDO USA, LLP the matters required to be discussed by Auditing Standard No. 1301 adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) regarding Communication with Audit Committees. The Audit Committee has received and reviewed the written disclosures and the letter from BDO USA, LLP required by the Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, Independence Discussions with Audit Committees, discussed with the auditors their independence, and concluded that the non-audit services performed by BDO USA, LLP are compatible with maintaining their independence.

The Audit Committee has pre-approved all auditing services and non-audit services to be performed for the Corporation by the independent registered public accounting firm as required by the applicable rules promulgated pursuant to the Exchange Act, considered whether the rendering of non-audit services was compatible with maintaining BDO USA, LLP’s independence, and concluded that BDO USA LLP’s independence was not compromised by the provision of such services (details regarding the fees paid to BDO USA, LLP in 2020 for audit services, tax services and all other services, are set forth at

“Proposal 3 — Ratification of BDO USA, LLP as the Corporation’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm,” below).

Based on the foregoing reviews and discussions, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in Epsilon’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and instructed BDO USA, LLP that the Audit Committee expects to be advised if there are any subjects that require special attention.

PROPOSAL 3: FOR RATIFICATION OF BDO USA, LLP

AS THE CORPORATION’S INDEPENDENT REGISTERED

PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Our Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee, has selected BDO USA, LLP to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021. The shareholders of the Corporation will be asked to vote for the re-appointment of BDO USA, LLP as auditor of the Corporation. Unless directed otherwise by a proxy holder, or such authority is withheld, the Management Designees, if named as proxy, intend to vote the Common Shares represented by any such proxy in favor of a resolution appointing BDO USA, LLP, as auditor of the Corporation, to hold office until the close of the next annual general meeting of shareholders or until BDO USA, LLP is removed from office or resigns as provided by the Corporation’s by-laws, and the Management Designees also intend to vote the Common Shares represented by any such proxy in favor of a resolution authorizing the Board of Directors to fix the compensation of the auditor. BDO USA, LLP has been the auditor of the Corporation since June 2017.

We expect representatives of BDO USA, LLP will be present at the 2021 Annual General Meeting and available to answer shareholders’ questions. The BDO USA, LLP representatives will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and to be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Principal Accounting Fees and Services

The following table summarizes fees billed to us for fiscal 2019 and for fiscal 2018 by our principal auditors, BDO USA, LLP:

	December 31,		December 31,
	2020		2019

Services in connection with regulatory filings		5,777		6,150

The fees shown in the table above are the only fees that Epsilon paid to BDO USA, LLP during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019.

The Charter of the Audit Committee requires that, among other things, the Audit Committee:

•

recommend to the Board the terms of engagement of the external auditor, including their compensation and a confirmation that the external auditors shall report directly to the Committee;

•

on an annual basis, review and discuss with the auditors all significant relationships the auditors have with the Corporation to determine the auditors’ independence;

•

review the performance of the external auditors and approve any proposed discharge of the external auditors when circumstances warrant; and

•

pre-approve the completion of any non-audit services by the external auditors, determining which non-audit services the external auditor is prohibited from providing.

The Committee may delegate to one or more independent members of the Committee the authority to pre-approve non-audit services, provided that such member(s) reports to the Committee at the next scheduled meeting such pre-approval and the member(s) complies with such other procedures as may be established by the Committee from time to time. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Audit Committee pre-approved each of the services described above.

Audit Committee Pre-approval of Service of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Our Audit Committee has established a policy to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services, and other services. Under the policy, our Audit Committee annually reviews and pre-approves services that may be provided by the independent registered public accounting firm (BDO USA, LLP) for each audit year. The pre-approval is detailed as to the particular service or category of services and is subject to a specific budget. Once pre-approved, the services and pre-approved amounts are monitored against actual charges incurred and modified if appropriate. The Chairperson of the Committee has the authority to pre-approve such services between meetings of our Audit Committee and reports such pre-approvals to our Audit Committee at the next regularly scheduled meeting.

During 2020, all audit and non-audit services provided by BDO USA, LLP were pre-approved by our Audit Committee or, consistent with the pre-approval policy of our Audit Committee, by the Chairperson of our Audit Committee for inter-meeting pre-approvals.

COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

DEADLINES FOR SUBMITTING SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR THE 2021 ANNUAL MEETING

We provide shareholders with the opportunity, under certain circumstances and consistent with SEC rules, to participate in the governance of Epsilon by submitting proposals for consideration at our annual meetings of shareholders. Proposals from shareholders are given careful consideration by us in accordance with Rule 14a-8 promulgated under the Exchange Act. For a proposal to be included in our proxy statement and proxy card for our 2021 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, such proposal must comply with Rule 14a-8 and must be received by us in writing no later than April 7, 2022. Shareholders may also use the procedures under the ABCA to submit a proposal. Under the ABCA, in addition to other requirements, the deadline to submit a proposal that a shareholder wishes to include in the Corporation’s proxy materials for our 2022 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders will be March 19, 2022. Additionally, if our 2022 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders is held on June 16, 2021, any shareholder proposal or director nomination for our 2022 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders that is intended for inclusion in our proxy statement and proxy card in respect of such meeting will be considered “untimely” if it is received by us after the close of business on April 7, 2022. An untimely proposal may not be brought before or considered at our 2022 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders.

All shareholder proposals and director nominations must be addressed to the attention of our Secretary at 16945 Northchase Drive, Suite 1610, Houston, Texas 77060. The chairman of our 2022 Annual Meeting may refuse to acknowledge the introduction of any shareholder proposal or director nomination not made in compliance with the foregoing procedures.

HOUSEHOLDING OF PROXY MATERIALS

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., banks, brokers or other nominees) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements and annual reports with respect to two or more shareholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement addressed to those shareholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially means extra convenience for shareholders and cost savings for companies.

Shareholders that share the same address may not receive separate copies of proxy materials, unless we have received contrary instructions from such shareholders. If you are receiving multiple sets of our proxy materials and wish to receive only one set in the future, or if you are currently only receiving one set of our proxy materials and wish to receive separate sets of proxy materials for you and the other shareholders sharing your address, please notify us or your bank, broker or other nominee by indicating your preference on the enclosed proxy card or vote instruction form. We will deliver an additional copy of our proxy materials to you, without charge, upon written request sent to Epsilon Energy Ltd., Attention: Secretary, 16945 Northchase Drive, Suite 1610, Houston, Texas 77060, or upon oral request made by calling us at the phone number (281) 670-0002. Our proxy materials are also available on the Owner Relations section of our website at http://www.epsilonenergyltd.com/owner-relations. Furthermore, upon written or oral request by any person to whom a proxy statement is delivered, if a document is incorporated herein by reference but not included in the proxy materials is so requested, we will undertake to provide the requested materials, without charge, by first class mail or other equally prompt means, within one business day after receiving such request, excluding exhibits to the information that is incorporated by reference unless such exhibits are specifically incorporated by reference into the information that the proxy statement incorporates. Please address these requests to 16945 Northchase Drive, Suite 1610, Houston, Texas 77060, Attention: Secretary. You may also call us with this request at the phone number (281) 670-0002.

OTHER MATTERS

Other than the compensation agreements and arrangements described herein, there has not been since the beginning of the Corporation’s last fiscal year, and there is not currently proposed, any transaction or series of similar transactions to which the Corporation was or will be a party in which the amount involved exceeded or will exceed $120,000 and in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

As of May 14, 2021, our Board of Directors knows of no other business to be acted upon at the 2021 Annual General Meeting. However, if any additional matters are presented at the meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the accompanying proxy to vote in accordance with their judgment on those matters.
