For the three years ended June 30, 2022, Cardinal’s share price increased by 222%.
“I am extremely proud that Cardinal has been recognized as a leader in creating value for shareholders through our inclusion in the 2022 TSX30TM,” said Scott Ratushny, Chief Executive Officer of Cardinal Energy Ltd. “By significantly improving Cardinal’s financial flexibility, we have been able to accelerate a return of capital to shareholders through monthly dividends and share buybacks. In addition, as one of Canada’s few oil and gas companies with a negative carbon footprint, I am proud of our success in driving continued strong environmental, social, and governance performance.”
