Disclaimers
Disclaimer Regarding Forward Looking Statements:
This presentation includes statements that contain forward looking information (“forward-looking statements”) in respect of Eagle Energy Trust’s expectations regarding its
future operations, including the impact on Eagle’s investments, structure, taxability and distributions of investing in Canadian assets, drilling program, production, operating
costs, hedging, the amount and sustainability of distributions, tax pools, business strategy and plans for growth, among other things. These forward looking statements
involve estimates and assumptions including those relating to timing to drill and bring wells on production, production rates, operating and capital costs, marketability of
crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids, future commodity prices, currency exchange rates, anticipated cash flow based on estimated production, size of reserves and
reservoir performance, among other things. These estimates and assumptions necessarily involve known and unknown risks, delays, challenges and other uncertainties
inherent in the oil and gas industry including those relating to geology, production, drilling, technology, operations, human error, mechanical failures, transportation,
processing problems and poor reservoir performance, among others things, as well as the business risks discussed in the Trust’s annual information form dated March 20,
2014 under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Advisory-Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors”.
The forward-looking statements included in this presentation should not be unduly relied upon. Actual results may differ from the forward-looking information in this
presentation, and the difference may be material and adverse to the Trust and its unitholders. No assurance is given that the Trust’s expectations or assumptions will prove
to be correct. Accordingly, all such statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to, and are accompanied by, the information and factors discussed throughout this
presentation. These statements speak only as of the date of this presentation and may not be appropriate for other purposes. Eagle’s annual information form dated March
20, 2014 contains important detailed information about Eagle and its trust units. Copies of the annual information form may be viewed at www.sedar.com and on
Eagle’s website.
Disclaimer Regarding Oil and Gas Measures:
This presentation contains disclosure expressed as barrel of oil equivalency (“boe”) or boe per day (“boe/d”). All oil and natural gas equivalency volumes have been derived
using the conversion ratio of 6 Mcf of natural gas: 1bbl of oil. Equivalency measures may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A conversion ratio of 6 Mcf: 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. In addition, given that
the value ratio based on the current price of oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalent of six to one, utilizing a boe conversion ratio
of 6 Mcf: 1 bbl would be misleading as an indication of value.

approval to permit investment in Canadian assets to expand its
range of opportunities in addition to continuing to actively acquire,
operate and exploit U.S. oil and gas production in accordance with
the Trust’s growth strategy.
• All of Eagle’s current production is in Texas and Oklahoma.
• 95% of Eagle’s current production is light oil.
• Strong balance sheet – cash on hand and debt-free.

Proposal to Invest in Canadian Assets
•
A Special Meeting of unitholders will be held on November 24, 2014 to vote
on a special resolution to permit the acquisition of Canadian energy assets.
•
Opportunities in Canada are as attractive as opportunities in the U.S.:
•
market conditions in Canada’s oil and gas sector have resulted in Canadian oil and gas assets
being available at attractive prices;
•
pricing differentials will continue to narrow over the coming years with the expansion of
liquefied natural gas, rail and pipeline infrastructure;
•
Eagle’s management and directors have significant experience acquiring and developing
energy assets in Canada;
•
investing in Canada will mitigate the Trust’s commodity price, foreign exchange and interest
rate risk through diversification.
7
Impact of Eagle Investing in Canadian Assets
•
•
Acquiring Canadian Assets will not affect Eagle’s U.S. Investments and U.S.
Sourced Distributions:
•
No effect on its U.S. operations or on the taxes on distributions from U.S. assets.
•
The Trust’s U.S. operating subsidiary will continue to actively acquire, operate and exploit U.S.
oil and gas production in accordance with the Trust’s growth strategy.
Acquiring Canadian Assets will have no Negative Effects on Eagle’s Structure
or Taxability:
•
The Trust’s proposed Canadian investments will be structured such that the Specified
investment flow-through (SIFT) trust income and distribution tax will not apply to the Trust or
its affiliates.
•
The Trust’s Canadian corporate subsidiaries will be taxed in the same manner as other
Canadian oil and gas corporations.
•
The total annual distribution will be allocated among three components and shown on the
Unitholder’s annual tax slips as:
•
other income (i.e., trust income from U.S. sources)
•
return of capital
•
dividends
8
Sale of Permian Properties
•
In August 2014, Eagle sold its Texas Permian asset for $ 150 million ($US 140
million). Eagle’s remaining U.S. properties produce approximately 1,900
barrels of oil per day.
•
As a result of the disposition, Eagle currently has $69.5 million ($US 62
million) of cash on hand, and a $61.6 million ($US 55 million) unutilized debt
facility.
•
Eagle is actively pursuing acquisitions to redeploy capital in attractive
investment opportunities.
•
Eagle has withdrawn its current guidance and expects to provide revised
guidance after an announcement is made regarding its re-deployment of the
sale proceeds.
9

cash on hand, debt free and a $61.6 million ($US 55 million) unused credit
facility.
•
Suspended the Premium DistributionTM component of its Distribution
Reinvestment Plan (“DRIP”) and reduced the market discount from 5% to 2%
on units acquired under the regular DRIP.

Eagle’s production in Texas and Oklahoma has realized a premium sales price.
Eagle believes that Canadian pricing differentials which have been high and volatile over the past
few years but have recently narrowed, will continue to narrow over the coming years as the
expansion of liquefied natural gas, rail and pipeline infrastructure enhances Canada’s access to nonU.S. markets.
