FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PENN VIRGINIA CORPORATION ANNOUNCES THE RECEIPT OF APPROXIMATELY $21 MILLION IN

PREFERENTIAL RIGHT PAYMENTS

FULL-YEAR 2013 GUIDANCE REMAINS UNCHANGED

RADNOR, PA (Globe Newswire) June 18, 2013 – Penn Virginia Corporation (NYSE: PVA) announced today that it has received $21.4 million in cash from the exercises of preferential rights related to the recently completed $401 million Eagle Ford Shale acquisition. The proceeds from these exercises were used to reduce outstanding borrowings under PVA’s revolving credit facility.

As a result of these exercises, 2013 cash flows and capital expenditures are both expected to decrease by 1.0 to 1.5 percent, while 2013 production is expected to decrease by approximately 1.0 percent. Therefore, PVA’s previously provided 2013 guidance ranges remain unchanged at this time, including anticipated crude oil production growth of 60 to 78 percent over 2012 levels.
