PR Newswire

TORONTO, March 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ - Frontera Energy Corporation (TSX: FEC) ("Frontera" or the "Company") announced today that it has acquired 101,316,916 common shares ("Common Shares") of CGX Energy Inc.

The aggregate purchase price for the Common Shares was $25,329,229 (or $0.25 per Common Share). As consideration for providing a standby commitment in connection with the Rights Offering, the Company also received 15,009,026 5-year warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase up to 15,009,026 Common Shares at an exercise price equal to $0.415 per Common Share.

Prior to the issuance of the Common Shares and the Warrants, Frontera owned or exercised control over 56,066,213 Common Shares on a non-diluted basis (representing approximately 48.29% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis) and 96,066,213 Common Shares on a partially-diluted basis, assuming the conversion of the US$8,800,000 bridge loan, but excluding the rights to acquire Common Shares under the Rights Offering then held by Frontera (representing approximately 61.54% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on a partially-diluted basis).

Immediately after the issuance of the Common Shares and Warrants, Frontera owns or exercises control over 157,383,129 Common Shares on a non-diluted basis (representing approximately 67.78% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis) and 212,392,155 Common Shares on a partially-diluted basis, assuming the exercise or conversion of the Warrants and the US$8,800,000 bridge loan (representing approximately 73.95% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on a partially-diluted basis), resulting in a 12.41% increase in Frontera's holdings of Common Shares on a partially-diluted basis.
