CALGARY, July 17, 2018 /CNW/ - Petro-Victory Energy Corp. ("Petro-Victory" or the "Company") (TSX-V: VRY) announces that it has approved the settlement of certain liabilities including outstanding management fees and salaries payable to certain directors, officers and employees of the Corporation (the "Debt Settlement") in an aggregate settlement amount of CDN$1,140,537 through the issuance of an aggregate of 22,810,751 common shares in the capital of the Corporation ("Common Shares"), at a price of $0.05 per Common Share. The Common Shares are subject to a four-month hold period from the date of issuance in accordance with applicable securities laws.

Petro-Victory Energy Corp. (CNW Group/Petro-Victory Energy Corp.)

The Corporation received minority approval for the Debt Settlement at its annual general meeting held on January 15, 2018 in accordance with Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions.

The Common Shares will be issued upon final acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange.

Immediately following this issuance, Richard F. Gonzalez, Executive Chairman of the Corporation, who is a resident of the United States, elected to convert a portion of his Common Shares into restricted voting shares of the Corporation ("Restricted Voting Shares") so that the Corporation continues to qualify as a Foreign Private Issuer in the United States.

The Common Shares are being converted in order to maintain the threshold of less than 50 percent of the Common Shares being directly or indirectly held of record by residents of the United States and the Company therefore, qualifies as a Foreign Private Issuer in the United States. The restricted voting shares are convertible on a 1:1 ratio into Common Shares, at the holder's option.

Early Warning Requirements

As a result of the conversion, Mr. Richard Gonzalez, will hold 31,159,837 Common Shares and 57,135,746 Restricted Voting Shares of the Corporation representing approximately 15.53% of the issued and outstanding voting securities of the Company on a non-diluted basis and 30.32% of the issued and outstanding securities of the Company, assuming conversion of the Restricted Voting Shares.

Mr. Patrick Yeghnazar will hold 29,850,551 Common Shares of the Corporation representing approximately 14.87% of the issued and outstanding voting securities of the Company on a non-diluted basis.

The issuance to Mr. Gonzalez and Mr. Yeghnazar was completed for investment purposes, and they may acquire additional securities either on the open market or through the financing or private acquisitions and may sell the securities they each hold either on the open market or through private dispositions in the future depending on market conditions, reformulation of plans and/or other relevant factors, in each case in accordance with applicable securities laws.

A copy of the early warning reports for Mr. Gonzalez and Mr. Yeghnazar will be available under Petro-Victory's profile on SEDAR.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities, in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such jurisdiction. The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States unless an exemption from such registration is available.
