Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Obsidian Energy Ltd. received an updated large-shareholder disclosure from FrontFour-related investors. The amendment reflects changes in how these investors are grouped and the size of their reported stakes.

Based on 67,274,326 common shares outstanding as of December 31, 2025, FrontFour Master Fund directly owns 2,907,541 shares, or about 4.3% of the company, and FrontFour Capital Corp. directly owns 75,571 shares. Individual reporting persons include Stephen Loukas with 2,705,546 shares (about 4.0%) and David A. Lorber, who may be deemed to beneficially own 3,083,110 shares (about 4.6%), while Zachary George may be deemed to beneficially own 2,983,112 shares (about 4.4%).

Effective March 11, 2026, FrontFour Capital adopted an information barrier that separates Loukas’s board and officer role from FrontFour’s investment decisions. As a result, he is no longer part of the Section 13(d) group and this amendment acts as his exit filing. The remaining parties entered a new joint filing agreement on March 13, 2026, and as of March 12, 2026, the reporting persons collectively ceased to beneficially own more than 5% of Obsidian Energy’s outstanding shares.

David A. Lorber directly beneficially owns 99,998 Obsidian Energy shares. He may also be deemed to beneficially own 2,983,112 additional shares held in the aggregate by FrontFour Master Fund and FrontFour Capital Corp., for a combined total of 3,083,110 shares, or about 4.6% of outstanding shares.

When did the reporting group fall below 5% ownership in Obsidian Energy (OBE)?

The filing states that, as of March 12, 2026, the reporting persons ceased to beneficially own more than 5% of Obsidian Energy’s outstanding common shares. This marks a shift from prior periods when their combined beneficial ownership exceeded the 5% regulatory reporting threshold.

What joint filing agreement did Obsidian Energy (OBE) shareholders enter into on March 13, 2026?

On March 13, 2026, the remaining reporting persons signed a Joint Filing Agreement.
