The private placement is being undertaken on a non-brokered basis with a sole purchaser who will be subscribing for the entire amount of the offering. The transaction is a "related party transaction" for the purposes of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Share Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101") as the purchaser is controlled by a combination of Pacific Rubiales Energy Corp. and Blue Pacific Assets Corp., both of whom are principal shareholders of the Company. The Company intends to rely on an exemption from the requirement to obtain a formal valuation and minority shareholder approval prescribed by MI 61-101 in respect of the private placement, as the Company has determined that the fair market value of the private placement does not exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization as calculated and determined in accordance with MI 61-101.
The private placement is subject to TSXV approval and is expected to close on or about May 15, 2013.
