The payment of the proposed dividend of Spyglass may change as a result of fluctuations in commodity prices, production levels, capital expenditure requirements, debt service requirements, operating costs, royalty burdens, and the satisfaction of the liquidity and solvency tests imposed by the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) for the declaration and payment of dividends. Depending on these and other factors, many of which will be beyond the control of Spyglass, the dividend policy of Spyglass may change from time to time and, as a result, future cash dividends could be reduced or suspended entirely.
