A Creator-First Monetization Model
Viberse is developing a monetization model that reflects the changing creator economy-characterized by users' expectations for openness, low entry barriers, and diverse revenue sources. Unlike traditional platforms that primarily reward top-tier influencers, Viberse places a higher priority on inclusive access and creative engagement. The key traits are as follows:
Rewards are based on meaningful sharing and engagement, not follower counts.
Monetization is meant to fit in the context without interfering with user experience.
Ads respect user privacy, with no opaque targeting or intrusive tracking, while remaining relevant and non-disruptive.
This points-based rewards system, scheduled to launch in mid-2025, will enable users to earn through active participation, including posting, engaging, and completing missions. Over time, it will evolve into a broader monetization framework supporting creators at all levels, minimizing dependency on follower counts, and enhancing inclusivity across the platform.
"Everyone contributes in different ways—not just through followers or fame," said Andy Wang, Founder of Viberse. "This new rewards system is about recognizing everyday creativity and making sure all users have a fair shot at being seen, valued, and rewarded."

Obsidian Energy Announces First Half Capital Program Update
Achieved new production record of 14,000 boe/d for Peace River asset Completed drilling all wells in our first Peace River Clearwater waterflood pilot on the Dawson 4-24 Pad Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - June 3, 2025) - OBSIDIAN ENERGY LTD. (TSX: OBE) (NYSE American: OBE) ("Obsidian Energy", the "Company", "we", "us" or "our") is pleased to provide an operational update on our first half 2025 capital program. Having completed our exploration/appraisal program in the first quarter of 2025 to further delineate our Peace River asset, second quarter activities focused on bringing the remaining wells on production. All 30 (28.4 net) wells in our first half program1 were rig released by the end of May, and all development wells are now on production. "We are pleased with our first half 2025 development program, which was concentrated on our Peace River Bluesky and Clearwater assets," said Stephen Loukas, Obsidian Energy's President and CEO. "We've achieved solid production results from this program as we stepped back into our established development areas at Harmon Valley South ("HVS") and Dawson in Peace River. In our Walrus area, we achieved the strongest initial production rates to date in the field, further validating its potential. Our Dawson Clearwater program continued to outperform our expectations on primary production and all five waterflood pilot wells are online, including two single leg wells that will become injectors after production tests. The successful execution of this pilot project is expected to provide the opportunity for broader implementation of enhanced oil recovery techniques on our Peace River assets to further increase reservoir recovery and reduce decline rates." Mr. Loukas continued, "We continue to monitor the macro-economic environment as it remains unsettled, causing uncertainty in the industry. We will adjust our capital allocation decisions accordingly as we finalize our second half 2025 plans, which are expected to be announced in late June/early July." HEAVY OIL ASSET HIGHLIGHTS Our second quarter 2025 activities focused on development drilling in the established, all season access fields of HVS (Bluesky formation) and Dawson (Clearwater formation). Included in our drilling program were four farm-in wells where we earned additional land holdings at HVS and Seal. Development Program We rig released and brought on production the remaining operated development wells in Peace River through April and into May, leading to a new production high of 14,000 boe/d for this area. Dawson 4-23 Pad (Clearwater) - Simultaneous facilities construction and drilling operations supported faster-paced development as we follow the established productive trends through this field. All four wells are now on production with the remaining two wells in the first half program producing at a 30-day initial production ("IP") rate of 393 boe/d and 105 boe/d, respectively. Our Dawson field continues to produce at higher rates than forecasted. Since the field was established in 2023, Clearwater production has grown significantly from 189 boe/d in the fourth quarter 2023 to over 3,000 boe/d in May 2025 (field estimate), driven purely by organic drilling success. We expect to continue the development of the field as we follow up on our strong results over the past 18 months. HVS Field (Bluesky) - All five development wells in the 2025 program are now online, providing strong production additions and further reservoir information to continue to refine our drilling operations. In addition, two of the five (5.0 net) wells further tested our "waffle well" drilling design, showing successful results in increasing initial production performance on existing Pads. HVS 13-08 Pad - Two (2.0 net) wells from the first half program came onstream and delivered 30-day IP rates of 440 boe/d (99 percent oil) and 350 boe/d (99 percent oil), respectively. HVS 13-18 Pad - Both wells are on production and produced at 30-day IP rates of 251 boe/d (98 percent oil) and 185 boe/d (99 percent oil), respectively. HVS 14-07 Pad - The one (1.0 net) well came on production in May and has produced at a 22-day IP rate of 568 boe/d (100 percent oil). We have identified two follow up locations from this pad, which are currently scheduled for our near-term drilling plans. Walrus 7-21 Pad - Two (1.8 net) offset wells were drilled on the existing 7-21 Pad in the main part of the field and placed on production in mid-April. The wells provided results above expectations, producing the highest Bluesky initial rates achieved in our Walrus field to date. The 100 percent working interest well achieved an average 30-day IP rate of 170 boe/d (100 percent oil). The second joint interest well (0.8 net) produced at an average 30-day IP rate of 361 gross boe/d (100 percent oil). Through this joint venture, Obsidian Energy gained 10.1 net sections of land with additional follow-up locations. Land Farm-In Earning Wells - Four (2.6 net) wells were drilled in HVS and East Seal as part of earning or joint venture land agreements to further delineate new areas of Peace River. East Seal 4-14 Pad -The second (0.7 net) well was brought back onstream post-breakup in mid-May and is in the process of cleaning up. HVS 16-09 Pad - In the southern part of our HVS field, the two (1.3 net) wells encountered good reservoir but high-viscosity oil. Both wells are on production and produced at a 30-day gross IP rate of 122 boe/d and 52 boe/d, respectively. Waterflood Pilot Project The Company continued to advance development of the Dawson field with a Clearwater waterflood pilot project in the centre of the field, expanding activities beyond primary recovery to test the potential for increased reservoir oil recovery. Dawson 4-24 Pad - All five (5 net) wells were drilled and placed on production, including the two (2.0 net) single leg injector wells. The first two (2.0 net) producer wells onstream had a 30-day IP rates of 329 boe/d and 342 boe/d (100 percent oil), respectively. The remaining three (3.0 net) wells are currently onstream with strong initial results. We plan to temporarily produce the injector wells prior to water injection to evaluate reservoir characteristics. The successful execution of this project opens the potential for additional future value through increased reservoir recovery across our Peace River asset. LIGHT OIL ASSETS Obsidian Energy also participated in five (2.2 net) non-operated wells in the first half of the year at the Pembina Cardium Unit #11 (~45 percent working interest). On the 08-12 Pad, four (1.8 net) wells are on production with an average 30-day IP rate of 223 (100 net) boe/d per well. Upon start-up, the wells were rate restricted due to gas takeaway capacity; peak production rates per well ranged between 335 to 360 boe/d per well during the first 30-days. The fifth well was placed on production in late May. HEDGING UPDATE In the second quarter of 2025, the Company added new oil and gas contracts to help mitigate the risk of potentially lower commodity prices. Currently, we have the following contracts outstanding on a weighted average basis: Oil Contracts Type Remaining TermVolume (bbl/d) Swap Price (C$/bbl)WTI Swap May 20256,476$ 89.83WTI Swap June 202512,217$ 85.63WTI Swap July 20254,500$ 84.81WTI Collar May 20253,500$ 97.29 - $101.79WCS Differential May 2025 - June 20258,500 ($19.39 ) WCS Differential July 2025 - September 20257,750 ($18.83 ) WCS Differential October 2025 - December 20256,000 ($19.30 ) MSW Differential May 2025 - June 20251,500 ($7.90 ) MSW Differential July 2025 - September 2025500 ($6.59 ) AECO Natural Gas Contracts Type Remaining Term Volume (mcf/d) Swap Price (C$/mcf)AECO Swap May 202519,905$ 2.26AECO Swap June - October 202525,118$ 2.24AECO Swap November 2025 - March 20268,768$ 3.48AECO Collar May - October 20251,896$ 2.11 - $2.64 RBC GLOBAL ENERGY, POWER AND INFRASTRUCTURE CONFERENCE Obsidian Energy will be participating in the RBC Global Energy, Power and Infrastructure Conference (the "Conference") from June 3rd to 4th, 2025 in New York, NY. Stephen Loukas, President and CEO will be presenting on the Company in a break-out session on June 4, 2025, at 2:30 p.m. ET/ 12:30 p.m. MT. ADDITIONAL READER ADVISORIES OIL AND GAS INFORMATION ADVISORY Barrels of oil equivalent ("boe") may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of crude oil is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Given that the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalency conversion ratio of 6:1, utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis is misleading as an indication of value. TEST RESULTS AND INITIAL PRODUCTION RATES Test results and initial production rates disclosed herein, particularly those short in duration, may not necessarily be indicative of long-term performance or of ultimate recovery. Readers are cautioned that short-term rates should not be relied upon as indicators of future performance of these wells and therefore should not be relied upon for investment or other purposes. A pressure transient analysis or well-test interpretation has not been carried out and thus certain of the test results provided herein should be considered preliminary until such analysis or interpretation has been completed.

the impact on energy demand and commodity prices of regional and/or global health related events and the responses of governments and the public thereto, including the risk that the amount of energy demand destruction and/or the length of the decreased demand exceeds our expectations; the risk that there is another significant decrease in the valuation of oil and natural gas companies and their securities and in confidence in the oil and natural gas industry generally, whether caused by regional and/or global health related events, the worldwide transition towards less reliance on fossil fuels and/or other factors; the risk that the financial capacity of the Company's contractual counterparties is adversely affected and potentially their ability to perform their contractual obligations; the possibility that the revolving period and/or term out period of our credit facility and the maturity date of our senior unsecured notes is not extended (if necessary), that the borrowing base under our credit facility is reduced, that the Company is unable to renew or refinance our credit facilities on acceptable terms or at all and/or finance the repayment of our senior unsecured notes when they mature on acceptable terms or at all and/or obtain new debt and/or equity financing to replace our credit facilities and/or senior unsecured notes or to fund other activities; the possibility that we are unable to complete one or more repurchase offers pursuant to our senior unsecured notes when otherwise required to do so; the possibility that we are forced to shut-in production, whether due to commodity prices decreasing, extreme weather events such as wild fires, inability to access our properties due to blockades or other activism, or other factors; the risk that OPEC and other nations fail to agree on and/or adhere to production quotas from time to time that are sufficient to balance supply and demand fundamentals for oil; general economic and political conditions in Canada, the U.S. and globally, and in particular, the effect that those conditions have on commodity prices and our access to capital; industry conditions, including fluctuations in the price of oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas, price differentials for oil and natural gas produced in Canada as compared to other markets, and transportation restrictions, including pipeline and railway capacity constraints; fluctuations in foreign exchange, including the impact of the Canadian/U.S. dollar exchange rate on our revenues and expenses; fluctuations in interest rates, including the effects of interest rates on our borrowing costs and on economic activity, and including the risk that elevated interest rates cause or contribute to the onset of a recession; the risk that our costs increase due to inflation, supply chain disruptions, scarcity of labour and/or other factors, adversely affecting our profitability; unanticipated operating events or environmental events that can reduce production or cause production to be shut-in or delayed (including extreme cold during winter months, wild fires, flooding and droughts (which could limit our access to the water we require for our operations)); the risk that wars and other armed conflicts adversely affect world economies and the demand for oil and natural gas, including the ongoing war between Russian and Ukraine and/or hostilities in the Middle East; the possibility that fuel conservation measures, alternative fuel requirements, increasing consumer demand for alternatives to hydrocarbons, government mandates requiring the sale of electric vehicles and/or electrification of the power grid, and technological advances in fuel economy and renewable energy generation systems could permanently reduce the demand for oil and natural gas and/or permanently impair the Company's ability to obtain financing and/or insurance on acceptable terms or at all, and the possibility that some or all of these risks are heightened as a result of the response of governments, financial institutions and consumers to a regional and/or global health related event and/or the influence of public opinion and/or special interest groups.
