CALGARY, AB, Dec. 5, 2022 /CNW/ - Advantage Energy Ltd. ("Advantage" or the "Corporation") announces that, in connection with the Corporation's ongoing substantial issuer bid (the "Offer"), the Alberta Securities Commission (the "ASC") has granted an order (the "Relief Order") permitting Advantage to extend the Offer, in certain circumstances, without first taking up any common shares ("Shares") previously deposited under the Offer.
