ORIGINAL: Anterra Announces Proposed Financing Arrangement

2015-08-10 19:42 ET - News Release

CALGARY, ALBERTA -- (Marketwired) -- 08/10/15

Anterra Energy Inc. ("Anterra" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: AE.A) is pleased to announce that it has signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding ("the Memorandum") with AddChance Holdings Limited ("AddChance") through its wholly owned subsidiary Dynamic Regal Limited, whereby AddChance will acquire a 70% interest in Anterra.

AddChance is a public company, headquartered in Hong Kong. Its shares are listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and trade under the stock code 3344. The company is actively involved in manufacturing, property investment and most recently is diversifying into the oil and gas sector. AddChance is at arm's length to Anterra.

Pursuant to the terms of the Memorandum:


1.  Anterra will issue from treasury 250,000,000 Class A common shares to
    AddChance at a price of $0.04 per share for total cash proceeds of $10
    million.
2.   At closing, immediately following the issue of shares for cash in (1)
    above, Anterra will issue from treasury 909,365,947 Class A common
    shares in exchange for 45,693,761 common shares of AddChance such that
    Anterra will receive one AddChance share for each 19.9 Anterra shares so
    issued (the "Share Exchange"). The price per Anterra share under the
    Share Exchange is $0.0148 and the average price per Anterra share under
    the entire transaction is $0.0202.
3.  As soon as practicable following the Share Exchange, Anterra will
    distribute the AddChance shares received to Anterra shareholders other
    than AddChance, as a dividend in specie, subject to the requirements of
    applicable securities legislation (which may or may not include the
    imposition of a hold period on the AddChance shares proposed to be
    distributed to Anterra shareholders).
4.  Concurrently with closing or as soon as practicable thereafter, Anterra
    shall effect a share consolidation of its issued and outstanding Class A
    common shares on a twenty to one (20:1) basis. Subsequent to the share
    consolidation, Anterra will have approximately 82,811,853 Class A common
    shares issued and outstanding. The share consolidation is subject to
    approval by Anterra shareholders.
5.  Anterra's Board of Directors shall be reconstituted to include two
    individuals nominated by AddChance.

    Completion of the transactions under the Memorandum are subject to the
    execution of a definitive agreement between Anterra and AddChance
    together with customary closing conditions including acceptance by the
    TSX Venture Exchange, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and receipt of all
    other applicable regulatory approvals. It is expected that the
    transaction will require the approval of a majority of Anterra's
    shareholders (excluding the votes attached to any shares held by
    AddChance and parties related to AddChance). There can be no assurance
    that Anterra will enter into a definitive agreement with AddChance.
    Investors are cautioned that, until a definitive agreement is signed and
    announced, there may not be sufficient information about the transaction
    to enable investors to make a reasonable investment decision about the
    securities of Anterra and the proposed transaction.

"This is a unique and creative financing arrangement that, in addition to providing the Company with funds necessary to pursue the development of its existing properties, will provide a return to our shareholders through the distribution of AddChance shares that actively trade on the Hong Kong exchange," said Dr. Fang, Chairman and CEO of Anterra. Dr. Fang went on to say, "The proposed transaction also demonstrates Anterra's ability to access capital from non-conventional sources even during difficult times for the oil and gas industry."
