According to State Statute, PDC Energy is required to remit these funds to the State, unless you respond to the enclosed letter. Please fill out and return the enclosed letter by the deadline stated to claim your funds. Unclaimed Property and Escheat information Funds are reported to the state of the owner's last address on record. It is extremely important to notify PDC if you have moved and supply us with your current address. If the address we have is incorrect and we cannot contact you to verify your current address, the funds will be escheated to the state of your last known address. If the address is unknown, the funds are reported to PDC's state of incorporation, which is Delaware as of June 5, 2015. Prior to that date, it was Nevada. To claim escheated funds, you will need to contact the state. To locate and collect unclaimed funds, please visit the National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators' (NAUPA) website at http://www.unclaimed.org/ or www.missingmoney.com What is unclaimed property? Unclaimed property is mineral revenue and royalties that have not been claimed for a specific amount of time (dormancy period). These funds have been held in suspense. We attempt to reunite owners with their property using due diligence letters. What does escheat mean? Property is sent to the state of the owner's last known address based on PDC Energy's records. Property with no last known address is reportable to the state of the holder's (PDC's) domicile (Delaware). Why was I never notified before that I had money or minerals? • Property could have been part of a merger, acquisition and/or divestiture • Previous owner did not notify you of minerals when purchasing property • Mail could have been returned and we were unable to find your current address What is a dormancy period? The dormancy period is the amount of time the government deems an account or asset to be abandoned. Dormancy periods vary by state. How can I get these funds? Please sign and return the enclosed letter via email at escheat@pdce.c0m. Or, you can mail a copy to the letterhead address. An analyst will then be assigned to help you with your inquiry. Sincerely, PDC Energy, Inc.

After speaking with them, said funds are due to the lack of a signed Division Order and a title curative requirement. We need to sign the attached document and email back to them in order to not have the funds "escheated" to the State of Colorado. Once they receive the signed letter the Division Order department will send us the DO and I will process it like normal. We will not know what lease this is related to, or how much is being held in suspense, until we get further along in the process.
