We are offering to exchange (i) US$1,200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of our outstanding unregistered 4.25% Notes due 2027, (the "I nit ia l

amount of our outstanding unregistered 5.25% Notes due 2037 (the "I nit ia l 2 0 3 7 N ot e s ") for a like aggregate principal amount of new registered 5.25% Notes

The Initial 2027 Notes, the Initial 2037 Notes and the Initial 2047 Notes were originally issued by us on April 7, 2017 in a transaction that was exempt
from registration under the United States ("U .S. ") Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U .S. Se c urit ie s Ac t "), and resold inside the U.S. to qualified
institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A and outside the U.S. to non-U.S. persons in reliance on Regulation S. We refer to the Initial 2027 Notes, the Initial 2037
Notes and the Initial 2047 Notes together as the "I nit ia l N ot e s ".
The terms of the New 2027 Notes, the New 2037 Notes and the New 2047 Notes are substantially identical to the terms of the Initial 2027 Notes, the
Initial 2037 Notes and the Initial 2047 Notes, respectively, except that the New 2027 Notes, the New 2037 Notes and the New 2047 Notes will be registered under
the U.S. Securities Act, will not contain transfer restrictions, a legend or provisions relating to any increase in annual interest rate or the special mandatory
redemption (which is no longer applicable), will bear different CUSIP numbers from the Initial Notes and will not entitle their holders to registration rights. The New
2027 Notes, the New 2037 Notes and the New 2047 Notes will evidence the same continuing indebtedness as the Initial 2027 Notes, the Initial 2037 Notes and the
Initial 2047 Notes, respectively. We refer to the New 2027 Notes, the New 2037 Notes and the New 2047 Notes together as the "N e w N ot e s ". We refer to the

we extend the offer. See "Exchange Offer Expiration Date; Extensions; Amendments". Closing of the exchange offer and delivery of the New Notes, in book-entry
only form through The Depository Trust Company, or DTC, is expected to occur on or about December 14, 2017, or such other date as may be agreed upon by us
and The Bank of New York Mellon (the "T rust e e "), but not later than December 22, 2017. DTC or its nominee will hold the New Notes in book-entry only form as
depositary for the participants of DTC. A holder that acquires New Notes in exchange for Initial Notes will receive only a customer confirmation from the registered
dealer (who is a participant) from or through whom such New Notes are acquired. Except as otherwise stated herein, holders of New Notes will not be entitled to
receive physical certificates representing their ownership thereof. See "Book-Entry System".
New Notes of each series will be issued in exchange for an equal principal amount of outstanding Initial Notes of such series accepted in the exchange
offer. The exchange offer is not conditioned upon any minimum principal amount of Initial Notes being tendered for exchange. However, the obligation to accept the
Initial Notes for exchange pursuant to the exchange offer is subject to certain customary conditions set forth herein. See "Exchange Offer Procedures Conditions".
Any broker-dealer that receives New Notes for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in
connection with any resale of such New Notes. The letter of transmittal delivered pursuant to the exchange offer for Initial Notes (the "Le t t e r of T ra nsm it t a l")
states that by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the U.S.
Securities Act. This prospectus supplement and the prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in
connection with resales of New Notes received in exchange for Initial Notes where such Initial Notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-
making activities or other trading activities. Under the Registration Rights Agreement dated as of April 7, 2017 (the "Re gist ra t ion Right s Agre e m e nt ") between
us and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, RBC Capital Markets, LLC and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, as the representatives of the initial
purchasers of the Initial Notes (the "I nit ia l Purc ha se rs"), we agreed to make this prospectus supplement and the prospectus available to any such broker-dealer
for use in connection with any resale of such New Notes. See "Exchange Offer Procedures Exchange Offer Registration - Resale of New Notes" and "Plan of

We are a corporation incorporated under and governed by the Canada Business Corporations Act. Most of our directors and officers, and some or all of
the experts named in this prospectus supplement, the prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference therein, are residents of Canada or otherwise reside
outside of the U.S. and a substantial portion of their assets, and a substantial portion of our assets, are located outside the U.S. We have appointed an agent for
service of process in the U.S., but it may be difficult for holders of our debt securities who reside in the U.S. to effect service within the U.S. upon those directors,
officers and experts who are not residents of the U.S. It may also be difficult for holders of our debt securities who reside in the U.S. to enforce, in the U.S.,
judgments of U.S. courts predicated upon our civil liability and the civil liability of our directors and officers and experts under the U.S. federal securities laws. We

have been advised by our Canadian counsel, Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, that a judgment of a U.S. court predicated solely upon civil liability under U.S. federal
securities laws would probably be enforceable in Canada if the U.S. court in which the judgment was obtained has a basis for jurisdiction in the matter that would be
recognized by a Canadian court for the same purposes. We have also been advised by Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, however, that there is a real doubt whether
an action could be brought in Canada in the first instance on the basis of liability predicated solely upon U.S. federal securities laws.
We filed with the SEC, concurrently with our registration statement on Form F-10 of which this prospectus supplement and the prospectus forms a part
(the "re gist ra t ion st a t e m e nt "), an appointment of agent for service of process and undertaking on Form F-X. Under the Form F-X, we appointed CT Corporation
System as our agent for service of process in the U.S. in connection with any investigation or administrative proceeding conducted by the SEC and any civil suit or
action brought against or involving us in a U.S. court arising out of or related to or concerning the offering of the New Notes under this prospectus supplement and
the prospectus.

another registration statement available for use in connection with any resale of New Notes to any
broker-dealer that receives New Notes for its own account in exchange for Initial Notes where such

must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the U.S. Securities Act in

connection with any resale of the New Notes. Cenovus has not entered into any arrangement or
understanding with any person who will receive New Notes in the exchange offer to distribute those
