Notes to the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
(All tabular amounts are in CAD millions except numbers of common shares, per share amounts, percentages and various figures in Note 7)
1. Structure of Obsidian Energy
Obsidian Energy Ltd. (“Obsidian Energy”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) is an exploration and production company and is governed by the laws of the Province of Alberta, Canada. The Company's registered office is located at Suite 200, 207 - 9th Avenue S.W. Calgary, Alberta, Canada T2P 1K3. The Company operates in one segment, to explore for, develop and hold interests in oil and natural gas properties and related production infrastructure in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin directly and through investments in securities of subsidiaries holding such interests. Obsidian Energy’s portfolio of assets is managed at an enterprise level, rather than by separate operating segments or business units. The Company assesses our financial performance at the enterprise level and resource allocation decisions are made on a project basis across our portfolio of assets, without regard to the geographic location of projects. Obsidian Energy owns the petroleum and natural gas assets or 100 percent of the equity, directly or indirectly, of the entities that carry on the remainder of the oil and natural gas business of Obsidian Energy.
2. Basis of presentation and statement of compliance
a) Basis of Presentation
The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements ("interim consolidated financial statements") include the accounts of Obsidian Energy and our wholly owned subsidiaries. Results from acquired properties are included in Obsidian Energy’s reported results subsequent to the closing date and results from properties sold are included until the closing date.
All intercompany balances, transactions, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation.
b) Statement of Compliance
These interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in compliance with IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” and accordingly do not contain all of the disclosures included in Obsidian Energy’s annual audited consolidated financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with Obsidian Energy’s audited annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2023. Except as noted below, these interim consolidated financial statements were prepared using the same accounting policies as in the annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2023. The IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 "Presentation of financial statements" re: classification of liabilities as current or non-current which was effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024. The amendment clarifies that the classification of liabilities as current or non-current should be based on rights that are in existence at the end of the reporting period. These amendments to IAS 1 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
All tabular amounts are in millions of Canadian dollars, except numbers of common shares, per share amounts, percentages and other figures as noted.
These interim consolidated financial statements were approved for issuance by the Board of Directors on May 1, 2024.

The Company has a reserve-based syndicated credit facility which is subject to a semi-annual borrowing base redetermination. The aggregate amount available under the syndicated credit facility is $260.0 million which was increased subsequent to March 31, 2024, previously $240.0 million, as part of our semi-annual borrowing base redetermination (typically completed in May and November of each year). At that time, the revolving period and maturity dates under the syndicated credit facility were extended to May 31, 2025 and May 31, 2026, respectively.
At March 31, 2024, the Company had senior unsecured notes outstanding totaling $114.2 million which mature on July 27, 2027. During the first quarter of 2024, the Company re-purchased for cancellation $1.2 million principal amount of senior unsecured notes on the open market at an average price of $1,016 per $1,000 principal amount, in addition to the Repurchase Offer outlined below. The senior unsecured notes were initially issued at a price of $980 per $1,000 principal amount resulting in aggregate gross proceeds of $125.0 million and at an interest rate of 11.95 percent. The senior unsecured notes are direct senior unsecured obligations of Obsidian Energy ranking equal with all other present and future senior unsecured indebtedness of the Company.
As part of the terms of the senior unsecured notes, the Company is required, in certain circumstances, to make a repurchase offer at a price of $1,030 per $1,000 principal amount to an aggregate amount, including market purchases, of $63.8 million (the "Repurchase Offer"), based on free cash flow for the six months ended June 30 (typically offered in August) and based on free cash flow for the six months ended December 31 (typically offered in March). Minimum available liquidity thresholds and projected leverage ratios under the Company's syndicated credit facilities are also required to be met in order to proceed with a Repurchase Offer. The Company completed a Repurchase Offer for $2.0 million principal amount of our senior unsecured notes in March 2024.
At March 31, 2024, letters of credit totaling $4.9 million were outstanding (December 31, 2023 – $4.9 million) that reduce the amount otherwise available to be drawn on our syndicated credit facility.

Office lease provision
The office lease provision represents the net present value of non-lease components on certain future office lease payments. The office lease provision was determined by applying an asset specific credit-adjusted discount rate of 6.5 percent (December 31, 2023– 6.5 percent) over the remaining life of the lease contracts to January 2025.

7. Risk management
Financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, fair values of derivative financial instruments, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and long-term debt. At March 31, 2024, the fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying amounts.
The fair values of all outstanding financial commodity related contracts are reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheets with the changes during the period recorded in income as unrealized gains or losses.
At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the only asset or liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis was the risk management asset and liability, which was valued based on “Level 2 inputs” being quoted prices in markets that are not active or based on prices that are observable for the asset or liability.
The following table reconciles the changes in the fair value of financial instruments outstanding:

(1)Upon vesting or exercise of equity awards, the net benefit is recorded as a reduction of other reserves and an increase to shareholders’ capital.
Pursuant to our return of capital initiative to our shareholders, in the first quarter of 2024 we renewed our normal course issuer bid ("NCIB") with the Toronto Stock Exchange. Purchases under the NCIB will be subject to having $65 million of liquidity and complying with the terms of our current credit facilities. During the first quarter of 2024, the Company utilized the NCIB which resulted in 1,050,000 common shares being repurchased and canceled at an average price of $9.94 per share for total consideration of $10.5 million. The total consideration paid includes commissions and fees and is recorded as a reduction to Shareholders' Equity.

10. Share-based compensation
Share-based compensation expense relates to options ("Options") granted under the Company's Stock Option Plan (the “Option Plan”), restricted shares units (“RSUs") granted under the Restricted and Performance Share Unit Plan (“RPSU plan”), restricted awards granted under the Non-Treasury Incentive Award Plan (“NTIP”), deferred share units ("DSUs") granted under the Deferred Share Unit Plan (“DSU plan”) and performance share units (“PSUs”) granted under the RPSU plan.
The DSU, PSU's and NTIP's follow the liability method of accounting where the change in share price at the balance date results in a mark-to-market valuation. Settlement of the units or awards, which can be in the form of cash or shares, only occurs when they vest. The Options and RSU's follow the equity method of accounting where the fair value of the option or unit is calculated at the grant date and expensed over the expected life because these plans are typically settled in shares.
Share-based compensation consisted of the following:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Three months ended March 31 | |
| | 2024 | | | 2023 | |
DSUs | | $ | 4.4 | | | $ | (0.7 | ) |

Equity settled share-based incentive plans | | | 2.1 | | | | 2.1 | |
Share-based compensation | | $ | 9.0 | | | $ | 2.2 | |
The share price used in the fair value calculation of the DSU, NTIP and PSU obligations at March 31, 2024 was $11.18 per share (2023 – $8.63).
Restricted and Performance Share Unit plan
Restricted Share Unit grants under the RPSU plan
Obsidian Energy awards RSU grants under the RPSU plan whereby employees receive consideration that fluctuates based on the Company’s share price on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX"). Consideration can be in the form of cash or shares purchased on the open market or issued from treasury.
