Investor Verification Checklist
- Review Exhibit 99.1 for specific details on the assets involved in the swap.
- Verify the financial impact of the asset swap on the Trust's reserves and future cash flows.
- Confirm the status of the registration statements (File Nos. 333-145296 and 333-151324) referenced in the incorporation by reference.
- Note that the company name in the metadata (Obsidian Energy Ltd.) differs from the registrant name in the filing (Penn West Energy Trust); verify if this reflects a corporate name change or a data discrepancy.
