The decision to participate should be based upon a shareholders particular financial circumstances. Eligible shareholders may wish to obtain advice from their broker or financial advisor as to the advisability of participating.

EnCana Corporation
With an enterprise value of more than US$30 billion, EnCana is one of North Americas leading
independent oil and gas companies. EnCana pursues predictable, reliable, profitable growth from its
portfolio of long-life resource plays situated in Canada and the United States. EnCana defines
resource plays as large contiguous accumulations of hydrocarbons, located in thick or areally
extensive deposits, that typically have low geological and commercial development risk and low
average decline rates. The application of technology to unlock the huge resource potential of these
plays typically results in continuous increases in production and reserves and decreases in costs
over multiple decades of resource play life. EnCanas disciplined pursuit of these unconventional
assets has enabled it to become North Americas largest natural gas producer and a leading
developer of oilsands through in-situ recovery. EnCana common shares trade on the Toronto and New
York stock exchanges under the symbol ECA.
