PENGROWTH ENERGY CORPORATION PROVIDES UPDATE ON LINDBERGH
COMMERCIAL PROJECT AND CONFIRMS CDN $0.02 CASH DIVIDEND
PAYABLE APRIL 15, 2015
(Calgary, March 9, 2015) – Pengrowth Energy Corporation announces that steaming operations at its Lindbergh commercial facility have progressed as planned with all three well pads on circulation and with well pairs following the same production profile as the pilot well pairs. Steaming operations on each well pad were intentionally staggered by a few weeks to allow for a smooth transition of operation through the stages of circulation. With all three pads now on circulation, production rates from the commercial project reached approximately 3,500 bbl per day as at March 8, 2015. These volumes are in addition to production from the pilot facility of approximately 1,500 bbl per day.
A service rig is currently onsite and work has commenced on the installation of downhole pumps, which is the final step in the conversion of the well pairs from steam circulation to full SAGD production. The installation of the pumps will follow the same staggered schedule as steam circulation, with installation on the first well pad commencing on March 9, 2015. The service rig will be in operation over the next two months, installing pumps allowing for all 20 well pairs to be converted to full SAGD. It is expected that production from the overall commercial project will continue to ramp up through the installation and conversion process.
Dividend Declaration
Pengrowth also announces that its April 15, 2015 cash dividend will be Cdn $0.02 per common share. The ex-dividend date is March 19, 2015. The dividend will be payable to all shareholders who hold Pengrowth shares at the close of business on the record date of March 23, 2015.
The dividend of Cdn $0.02 per common share is equivalent to approximately U.S. $0.016 per common share using a Canadian/U.S. dollar exchange rate of Cdn $1.00:U.S. $0.794. The actual U.S. dollar equivalent of the dividend will be based upon the actual Canadian/U.S. dollar exchange rate in effect on the payment date, net of applicable Canadian withholding taxes for U.S. residents who hold their Pengrowth shares in taxable accounts.
The above dividend has been designated as an “eligible dividend” for Canadian income tax purposes. Pengrowth’s dividends are also considered “qualified dividends” for U.S. income tax purposes.
Pengrowth’s Board of Directors and management regularly review the level of dividends. Pengrowth’s Board considers a number of factors, including expectations of future commodity prices, capital expenditure requirements and the availability of debt and equity capital. Dividends can and may fluctuate in the future as a result of the volatility in commodity prices, changes in production levels and capital expenditure requirements.

We caution readers not to place undue reliance on these statements as a number of important factors could cause the actual results to differ materially from the beliefs, plans, objectives, expectations and anticipations, estimates and intentions expressed in such forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to: changes in general economic, market and business conditions; the volatility of oil and gas prices; fluctuations in production and development costs and capital expenditures; the imprecision of reserve estimates and estimates of recoverable quantities of oil, natural gas and liquids; Pengrowth's ability to replace and expand oil and gas reserves; geological, technical, drilling and processing problems and other difficulties in producing reserves; environmental claims and liabilities; incorrect assessments of value when making acquisitions; increases in debt service charges; the loss of key personnel; the marketability of production; defaults by third party operators; unforeseen title defects; fluctuations in foreign currency and exchange rates; fluctuations in interest rates; inadequate insurance coverage; counterparty risk; compliance with environmental laws and regulations; actions by governmental or regulatory agencies, including changes in tax and royalty laws; Pengrowth's ability to access external sources of debt and equity capital; the impact of foreign and domestic government programs and the occurrence of unexpected events involved in the operation and development of oil and gas properties; the implementation of International Financial Reporting Standards; and the implementation of greenhouse gas emissions legislation. Further information regarding these factors may be found under the heading "Risk Factors" in our most recent Annual Information Form, under the heading "Business Risks" in our most recent year-end Management's Discussion and Analysis, and in our most recent financial statements, management information circular, quarterly reports, material change reports and news releases.
