Cuda Oil and Gas Inc. Provides Update Regarding MCTO and Financial Statement Filings

Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - June 26, 2020) - Cuda Oil and Gas Inc. (TSXV: CUDA) ("Cuda" or the "Company") provides an update with respect to the previously announced management cease trade order (the "MCTO") issued by the Company's principal regulator, the Autorité des Marchés Financiers, on June 12, 2020. The MCTO was issued in connection with the late filing of the Company's annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 and related management's discussion and analysis (collectively, the "Annual Financial Statements").

The Company's management and personnel continue to work closely with the Company's auditor to finalize the Annual Financial Statements as expeditiously as possible. The Company has encountered significant interruptions and delays to its reporting process due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company currently expects to file the Annual Financial Statements on or about July 3, 2020, rather than the previously indicated filing date of June 30, 2020.

In addition, as previously announced, the Company is relying on the blanket exemptions issued by provincial securities commissions due to the COVID-19 pandemic to extend the date of filing its interim financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and related management's discussion and analysis (collectively, the "Interim Financial Statements"). The Company no longer expects to file the Interim Financial Statements before the 45 day extension provided by the blanket exemptions expires on July 14, 2020. The Company currently expects to file the Interim Financial Statements on or about July 17, 2020.

The Company is providing this status update in accordance with National Policy 12-203 - Management Cease Trade Orders ("NP 12-203"). The Company intends to follow the provisions of the Alternative Information Guidelines set out in NP 12-203, including the issuance of bi-weekly default status reports in the form of news releases, for as long as the Company remains in default. The Company confirms as of the date of this news release that, other than as set forth above, there has been no material change in the information contained in the most recent default status report issued on June 12, 2020 and there have not been any material business developments relating to the Company since that date that have not been generally disclosed.
