Disclaimer The presentation is for informational purposes only and is not intended as a solicitation or offering of securities of Traverse Energy Ltd. (“Traverse”) in any jurisdiction. The material presented is not intended to modify, qualify, supplement or amend information disclosed under corporate and securities legislation of any jurisdiction applicable to Traverse and should not be used for the purpose of making investment decisions concerning Traverse securities. Measurement Natural gas reserves and volumes contained herein are converted to barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) on the basis of six thousand cubic feet (mcf) of gas to one barrel (bbl) of oil. The term “barrels of oil equivalent” may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A BOE conversion ratio of 6 mcf to 1 bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.
Forward Looking Statements Certain statements contained in this presentation constitute forward-looking information and are based upon the estimates and opinions of the Company’s management at the time the statements are made. The use of any of the words “could”, “expect”, “believe”, “will”, “projected”, “estimated” and similar expressions and statements relating to matters that are not historical facts are intended to identify forward-looking information and are based on Traverse’s current belief or assumptions as to the outcome and timing of such future events. Actual future results may differ materially. These statements relate to the Company’s 2013 exploration and development program including the drilling of wells on the Turin Area, Carbon Area, and Willow Area and the completion of additional seismic activities. Traverse’s Annual Information Form filed with securities regulatory authorities (accessible through the SEDAR website www.sedar.com) describes the risks, material assumptions and other factors that could influence actual results and which are incorporated herein by reference.
