  <p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;letter-spacing:-.15pt;">On May&nbsp;8, 2008, the Board of Directors
  approved an amendment to the Bylaws as restated on February&nbsp;14, 2001 (the &#147;Bylaws&#148;).&#160; The amendment (&#147;Amendment No.&nbsp;4&#148;) is
  effective immediately and replaces in its entirety Article&nbsp;I, Section&nbsp;4
  of the Bylaws concerning the advance notification requirements for any
  shareholder proposals, including without limitation any nominations of
  candidates for election as directors of Forest, if such matter is to be brought
  before an annual meeting or special meeting of the shareholders.&#160; Section&nbsp;4, as amended, shall be the
  exclusive means for a shareholder to make nominations or submit other business
  before a meeting of Forest&#146;s shareholders.</font></p>

  <p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;letter-spacing:-.15pt;">Generally, Amendment No.&nbsp;4 extends the advance
  notification periods for shareholder proposals, clarifies the application of
  advance notice provision to extend to all proposals and nominations for
  election as directors of Forest, revises and expands the scope of information
  that a shareholder needs to provide to Forest in connection with any proposal,
  and requires the person making the proposal to provide Forest with a completed
  written questionnaire concerning the director nominee and provide certain
  representations to Forest.&#160; Section&nbsp;4
  requires that a shareholder making a proposal must be a holder of record at the
  time of giving the required notice and, as of the time of the meeting, be
  entitled to vote at the meeting, and comply with the other requirements
  contained in Section&nbsp;4. To be timely, any nomination or any other business
  to be brought before the annual meeting must be in writing and delivered to
  Forest not earlier than the close of business on the 120<sup>th</sup> day and
  not later than the close of business on the 90<sup>th</sup> day prior to the
  first anniversary date on which Forest first mailed its proxy materials and/or
  its notice of access to proxy materials for the preceding year&#146;s annual
  meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual
  meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after the anniversary
  date of the preceding year&#146;s annual meeting, notice by the shareholder to be
  timely must be delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 120<sup>th</sup>
  day prior to the date of such annual meeting and not later than the close of
  business on the later of the 100<sup>th</sup> day prior to the date of such
  meeting or, if the first public announcement of the date of such meeting is
  less than 100 days prior to the date of such meeting, the 10<sup>th</sup> day
  following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is
  first made by Forest.&#160; Amendment No.&nbsp;4
  also includes advance notice requirements regarding any proposals to be
  presented at any special meeting of shareholders that are similar to the
  advance notification provisions concerning any annual meetings of
  shareholders.&#160; The adjournment or
  postponement of an annual meeting or special meeting will not commence a new
  time period for the giving of a shareholder&#146;s notice.</font></p>

  shareholder making a proposal provide Forest with certain information,
  including information about their proposal, their ownership interest in Forest
  (including, for example, any derivative instruments directly or indirectly
  owned beneficially by the shareholder), and other economic interests in Forest&#146;s

  in Article&nbsp;I, Section&nbsp;4 of the Bylaws required a shareholder to
  provide prior notice not less than 60 days nor more than 90 days prior to the
  first anniversary of the date on which Forest first mailed its proxy materials
  to shareholders for the preceding year&#146;s annual meeting; provided, if the date
  of the annual meeting was advanced by more than 30 days or delayed by more than
  60 days from the anniversary date of the preceding year&#146;s annual meeting, a
  shareholder notice, to be timely, had to be delivered not earlier than the 90<sup>th</sup>
  day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on
  the later of the 60<sup>th</sup> day prior to such annual meeting, or not later
  than the 10<sup>th</sup> day following the date on which the public
  announcement of the date of the meeting was made.&#160; The superseded advance notice provisions
  applied to special meetings as well as annual meetings, but did not apply to
  proposals that were made pursuant to Rule&nbsp;14a-8 under the Securities
  Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.</font></p>

  Item 5.02.
  Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors;
    Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain
    Officers.
  As previously announced, effective May 8,
  2008, James D. Lightner was elected to serve as Chairman of the Board of
  Directors of Forest Oil Corporation.   Mr. Lightner
  has served as a director of Forest since 2004 and also serves as Chairman of
  two standing committees of the Board, including the Compensation Committee and
  the Executive Committee.  In addition, in
  conjunction with the Annual Meeting of Shareholders, effective May 8,
  2008, the Board decreased the number of members of the Board from eight to
  seven members.
  Item 5.03
  Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal
    Year.
  On May 8, 2008, the Board of Directors
  approved an amendment to the Bylaws as restated on February 14, 2001 (the "Bylaws").  The amendment ("Amendment No. 4") is
  effective immediately and replaces in its entirety Article I, Section 4
  of the Bylaws concerning the advance notification requirements for any
  shareholder proposals, including without limitation any nominations of
  candidates for election as directors of Forest, if such matter is to be brought
  before an annual meeting or special meeting of the shareholders.  Section 4, as amended, shall be the
  exclusive means for a shareholder to make nominations or submit other business
  before a meeting of Forest's shareholders.
  Generally, Amendment No. 4 extends the advance
  notification periods for shareholder proposals, clarifies the application of
  advance notice provision to extend to all proposals and nominations for
  election as directors of Forest, revises and expands the scope of information
  that a shareholder needs to provide to Forest in connection with any proposal,
  and requires the person making the proposal to provide Forest with a completed
  written questionnaire concerning the director nominee and provide certain
  representations to Forest.  Section 4
  requires that a shareholder making a proposal must be a holder of record at the
  time of giving the required notice and, as of the time of the meeting, be
  entitled to vote at the meeting, and comply with the other requirements
  contained in Section 4. To be timely, any nomination or any other business
  to be brought before the annual meeting must be in writing and delivered to
  Forest not earlier than the close of business on the 120
  th
  day and
  not later than the close of business on the 90
  th
  day prior to the
  first anniversary date on which Forest first mailed its proxy materials and/or
  its notice of access to proxy materials for the preceding year's annual
  meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual
  meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after the anniversary
  date of the preceding year's annual meeting, notice by the shareholder to be
  timely must be delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 120
  th
  day prior to the date of such annual meeting and not later than the close of
  business on the later of the 100
  th
  day prior to the date of such
  meeting or, if the first public announcement of the date of such meeting is
  less than 100 days prior to the date of such meeting, the 10
  th
  day
  following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is
  first made by Forest.  Amendment No. 4
  also includes advance notice requirements regarding any proposals to be
  presented at any special meeting of shareholders that are similar to the
  advance notification provisions concerning any annual meetings of
  shareholders.  The adjournment or
  postponement of an annual meeting or special meeting will not commence a new
  time period for the giving of a shareholder's notice.
  2
  As amended, Section 4 requires that a
  shareholder making a proposal provide Forest with certain information,
  including information about their proposal, their ownership interest in Forest
  (including, for example, any derivative instruments directly or indirectly
  owned beneficially by the shareholder), and other economic interests in Forest's
  securities and the proposal, and the reason for conducting any such business at
  the meeting.
  Previously, the advance notice periods included
  in Article I, Section 4 of the Bylaws required a shareholder to
  provide prior notice not less than 60 days nor more than 90 days prior to the
  first anniversary of the date on which Forest first mailed its proxy materials
  to shareholders for the preceding year's annual meeting; provided, if the date
  of the annual meeting was advanced by more than 30 days or delayed by more than
  60 days from the anniversary date of the preceding year's annual meeting, a
  shareholder notice, to be timely, had to be delivered not earlier than the 90
  th
  day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on
  the later of the 60
  th
  day prior to such annual meeting, or not later
  than the 10
  th
  day following the date on which the public
  announcement of the date of the meeting was made.  The superseded advance notice provisions
  applied to special meetings as well as annual meetings, but did not apply to
  proposals that were made pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities
  Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
  A complete copy of Amendment No.4 to the Bylaws
  is included in this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 3.1.  Forest intends to file a complete copy
  of its Bylaws, as amended by Amendment No.4, as an Exhibit to its next
  quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
  Item 7.01
  Regulation FD Disclosure.
  On May 8, 2008, Forest announced that it had
  secured commitments from its existing and new lenders under its bank credit
  facilities to amend the credit facilities and to exercise an accordion option
  to increase the size of the credit facilities. 
  The pending amendment and accordion option will increase the combined
  commitments under the U.S. credit facility and the Canadian credit facility to
  $1.8 billion and establish the global borrowing base at $1.8 billion.   Currently, the lender commitments under the
  credit facility total $1 billion and the global borrowing base is set at $1.4
  billion.  The amended credit facilities
  will consist of the U.S. credit facility in the increased amount of $1.65
  billion and the Canadian credit facility in the amount of $150 million.     Forest expects to complete the amendment
  documentation and implement the expanded credit facilities in mid-May, 2008.
  The information in this Current Report under Item
  7.01 is being furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 of Form 8-K and shall not be
  deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act
  of 1934, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section.
