Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

As previously disclosed, Penn Virginia Corporation (the “Company”) and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively with the Company, the “Debtors”) filed a voluntary petition for relief (the “Bankruptcy Filing”) under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (“Chapter 11”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Virginia (the “Bankruptcy Court”) and entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement (together with all exhibits and schedules thereto, the “Restructuring Support Agreement”), by and among (i) the Debtors; (ii) lenders holding approximately 100% of the principal amount of the approximately $112.6 million in loans outstanding under the Debtors’ senior secured reserve-based revolving credit facility; and (iii) holders of approximately 86% of the principal amount of the Debtors’ $1,075 million in outstanding senior unsecured notes (the “Notes”).

In connection with the Bankruptcy Filing and the Restructuring Support Agreement and pursuant to certain confidentiality agreements, the Company provided certain non-public information to certain holders of the Notes (the “Disclosure Information”). The Disclosure Information is included in Exhibit 99.1 hereto. The Company is making the disclosures herein in accordance with the terms of the confidentiality agreements and Regulation FD.

The financial projections or forecasts included in the Disclosure Information (the “projections”) were not prepared with a view toward public disclosure or compliance with the published guidelines of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants regarding projections or forecasts. The projections do not purport to present the Company’s financial condition in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The Company’s independent accountants have not examined, compiled or otherwise applied procedures to the projections and, accordingly, do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect to the projections. The inclusion of the projections should not be regarded as an indication that the Company or its affiliates or representatives consider the projections to be a reliable prediction of future events, and the projections should not be relied upon as such. Neither the Company nor any of its affiliates or representatives has made or makes any representation to any person regarding the ultimate outcome of the Company’s Chapter 11 process or its future performance compared to the projections, and none of them undertakes any obligation to publicly update the projections to reflect circumstances existing after the date when the projections were made or to reflect the occurrence of future events, even in the event that any or all of the assumptions underlying the projections are shown to be in error.

In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, Exhibit 99.1 is being furnished and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any of the Company’s filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof and regardless of any general incorporation language in such filings, except to the extent expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained herein, and in the Exhibits hereto, that are not descriptions of historical facts are “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Because such statements include risks, uncertainties and contingencies, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks, uncertainties and contingencies include, but are not limited to, the following:

• the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern, to meet financial obligations during the Chapter 11 process and to maintain contracts that are critical to the Company’s operations;

• the ability of the Company and certain of its creditors to develop and consummate one or more plans of reorganization with respect to the Chapter 11 process, including with respect to claims of senior noteholders, trade creditors and equity holders, among others, thereunder;

• the Bankruptcy Court’s rulings in the Chapter 11 case and the outcome of the Chapter 11 process in general;

• the length of time that certain of the Company’s creditors will operate under the Chapter 11 case;

• risks associated with third-party motions in the Chapter 11 case, which may interfere with the the Company’s creditors’ ability to develop and consummate one or more plans of reorganization once such plans are developed;

• the effect of the Chapter 11 filings on the Company’s relationships with third parties, regulatory authorities and employees;

• the potential adverse effects of the Chapter 11 process on the Company’s liquidity, results of operations, or business prospects, the Company’s ability to execute its business and a potential restructuring plan;

• increased administrative and legal costs related to the Chapter 11 process and other litigation and the inherent risks involved in a bankruptcy process;

• the sufficiency of the liquidity purported to be made available by the Company’s third party loans and receivables financing approved in connection with the Chapter 11 process; and

• other factors set forth in our periodic filings with the Commission, including the risks set forth in Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 filed with the Commission on March 15, 2016.

Additional information concerning these and other factors can be found in our press releases and public periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Many of the factors that will determine our future results are beyond the ability of management to control or predict. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s views only as of the date hereof. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. We undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements, or to make any other forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required by applicable law.

The Company cautions that the trading in its securities during the pendency of Chapter 11 proceedings is highly speculative and poses substantial risks. If a plan of reorganization is approved through the Chapter 11 process, it is likely that Company’s existing common stock will be extinguished, and existing equity holders will likely not receive consideration in respect of their existing equity interests. Accordingly, the Company’s future performance and financial results may differ materially and/or adversely from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements made by the Company in this Current Report
