SATURN OIL & GAS INC. ANNOUNCES CLOSING OF $100 MILLION BOUGHT DEAL OFFERING

Further to the company's May 6, 2024, press release, Saturn Oil & Gas Inc. has closed its previously announced bought deal offering of subscription receipts. Pursuant to the Bought Deal Offering, the Company issued a total of 42,554,000 subscription receipts ("Subscription Receipts") at a price of $2.35 per Subscription Receipt for gross proceeds of $100,001,900.

The Bought Deal Offering was completed by way of the Prospectus and was underwritten by Echelon Wealth Partners Inc. ("Echelon") as lead underwriter and sole bookrunner, and including National Bank Financial Inc., Canaccord Genuity Corp, and Eight Capital (collectively, the "Underwriters"). The Underwriters received a cash commission of 4.0% of the gross proceeds of the Bought Deal Offering.

Each Subscription Receipt represents the right of the holder to receive, upon closing of the Company's previously announced arrangement to acquire two oil-weighted asset packages in Southern Saskatchewan (the "Acquisition")(expected to close in Q2 2024), without payment of additional consideration, one common share of the Company.

The Company will use the net proceeds of the Bought Deal Offering to pay for a portion of the cash consideration of the Acquisition, as further described in the Company's prospectus supplement dated May 8, 2024 to the Company's amended final base shelf prospectus dated May 2, 2024 (collectively, the "Prospectus").

If the Acquisition is not completed by August 14, 2024 or if the Acquisition is terminated at an earlier time, the gross proceeds of the Bought Deal Offering and pro rata entitlement to interest earned or deemed to be earned on the gross proceeds of the Bought Deal Offering, net of any applicable withholding taxes, will be paid to holders of the Subscription Receipts and the Subscription Receipts will be cancelled.

The Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") has conditionally accepted for listing the Subscription Receipts issuable under the Bought Deal Offering. The Company expects that the Subscription Receipts will be listed for trading under the symbol "SOIL.R" effective at the opening of markets on May 15, 2024.

Related Party Transaction

Certain insiders of the Company (the "Participating Insiders") participated in the Bought Deal Offering and acquired an aggregate of 22,608,500 Subscription Receipts. The participation of the Participating Insiders constitutes a "related party transaction", as such term is defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Shareholders in Special Transaction ("MI 61-101"). The Company is relying on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements provided under sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 on the basis that the fair market value of the Participating Insiders' participation in the Bought Deal Offering does not exceed 25% of the market capitalization of the Company, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101. The Company did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the closing date of the Bought Deal Offering due to the limited time between the launch and closing date, and as the details of the Bought Deal Offering were not settled until shortly prior to closing the Bought Deal Offering.

First Quarter Results

The Company plans to release its first quarter financial results after the close of regular stock market trading hours on or about May 15, 2024. Saturn will host a webcast at 10:00 AM MDT (12:00 PM Noon EDT) on Thursday, May 16, 2024, to review the first quarter 2024 financial results.

Participants can access the live webcast via https://saturnoil.com/quarterly-results-webcast-registration/. A recorded archive of the webcast will be available afterwards on the Company's website.
