The cash distribution of Cdn $0.225 will be payable to all Pengrowth unitholders who hold trust units on the record date of December 1, 2008.

The clarification of the ex-distribution dates resulted from the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday on November 27, 2008, whereby the U.S. equity markets will not be open for trading. The Canadian equity markets will be open for trading on November 27^th and as a result, the ex-distribution date for PGF.UN traded units on the Toronto Stock Exchange was revised to November 27, 2008.
