        This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 14D-9 amends and supplements the Solicitation/Recommendation statement on Schedule 14D-9 (including the Exhibits and Annexes thereto, the "Statement") initially filed by The Wiser Oil Company, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on May 28, 2004, relating to the offer by TWOCO Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation ("Purchaser"), and a wholly owned subsidiary of Forest Oil Company, a New York corporation ("Parent"), to pay $10.60 per share, net to the seller in cash, without interest, for any and all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share of the Company upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in Purchaser's Offer to Purchase, dated May 28, 2004, and in the related Letter of Transmittal.

ITEM 4. THE SOLICITATION OR RECOMMENDATION

        The sixth paragraph under the subheading "Going Concern Analysis" of Item 4 on page 21 of the Statement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

        Pursuant to the terms of a letter agreement dated as of March 31, 2004, the Company retained Petrie Parkman to act as financial advisor in connection with possible tactical or strategic transactions. Pursuant to that engagement letter, the Company agreed to pay Petrie Parkman approximately $1.8 million for its financial advisory services in connection with the Transaction, of which $1.2 million is conditioned upon the closing of the Merger. In addition, the Company has agreed to reimburse Petrie Parkman for its reasonably incurred out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the engagement, including fees and disbursements of its legal counsel. The Company has agreed to indemnify Petrie Parkman and its officers, directors, agents, employees and controlling persons for liabilities related to or arising out of its rendering of services under its engagement, including liabilities under the federal securities laws. Petrie Parkman has, in the past, provided financial advisory services to the Company and Parent and has received customary fees for such services. Furthermore, in the ordinary course of business, Petrie Parkman or its affiliates may trade in the debt or equity securities of the Company or Parent for the accounts of its customers and, accordingly, may at any time hold a long or short position in such securities.
