Total consideration paid was $43.5 million prior to closing adjustments with an effective date of July 1, 2021, which came to $36 million after closing adjustments.
The cash consideration for the acquisition was funded by a $16.3 million limited-recourse loan secured by the additional 45 percent interest in Peace River and proceeds from the marketed public offering of subscription receipts.
The offering was priced at $4.40 per receipt for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $25.9 million, which included the full exercise of the over-allotment option granted to a syndicate of agents.
The subscription receipts are being converted into Obsidian Energy common shares on November 24, 2021.
The net proceeds were released from escrow and used to facilitate the partial funding of the cash consideration payable under the acquisition.
Holders of subscription receipts are not required to take any action to receive the underlying Common Shares.
Trading in the subscription receipts on the TSX is expected to be halted today and delisted in due course.
