CALGARY, Jan. 29 /CNW/ - (TSX - PWT.UN; NYSE - PWE) Penn West Energy
Trust ("Penn West") announced today that it has made cash offers to purchase
all of the outstanding 7.2 percent convertible unsecured subordinated
debentures due May 31, 2011 trading under the symbol "PWT.DB.E" (the
"7.2�percent Debentures") and all of the outstanding 8.0 percent convertible
unsecured subordinated debentures due June 30, 2010 trading under the symbol
"PWT.DB.C" (the "8.0 percent Debentures").
In connection with the completion of the plan of arrangement whereby Penn
West acquired Vault Energy Trust ("Vault") on January 10, 2008 (the "Vault
Arrangement"), Penn West assumed all of the covenants and obligations of Vault
under its debenture indentures governing the 7.2 percent Debentures and the
8.0 percent Debentures. Pursuant to the change of control provisions of the
debenture indentures, Penn West is required, within 30 days of such change of
control: (i) to make an offer (the "7.2 percent Offer") to purchase all of the
outstanding 7.2 percent Debentures at a price equal to 101 percent of the
principal amount of the debentures plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but
excluding, the date of acquisition of such debentures (the "7.2 percent Total
Offer Price"); and (ii) to make an offer (the "8.0 percent Offer") to purchase
all of the outstanding 8.0 percent Debentures at a price equal to 101 percent
of the principal amount of the debentures plus accrued and unpaid interest up
to, but excluding, the date of acquisition of such debentures (the
"8.0�percent Total Offer Price").
Holders of 7.2 percent Debentures and 8.0 percent Debentures are entitled
to receive cash in consideration for the 7.2 percent Total Offer Price and the
8.0 percent Total Offer Price, respectively. Debenture holders will receive
the offers by mail. Such offers are open for acceptance until noon (M.S.T.) on
Wednesday, March 5, 2008 (the "Expiry Time").
The 7.2 percent Debentures are issued in "book-entry only" form. As a
result, holders of 7.2 percent Debentures who wish to tender to the
7.2�percent Offer must make their election through their broker or account
representative who will then make the appropriate election through the CDS
system. Accordingly, holders of 7.2 percent Debentures should contact their
broker or account representative for assistance in tendering their 7.2 percent
Debentures to the 7.2 percent Offer.

must deliver to Valiant Trust Company, the depositary for the 8.0 percent
Offer, at its office listed in the letter of transmittal accompanying the
