CALGARY, AB, July 15, 2021 /CNW/ - Petro-Victory Energy Corp. (TSXV: VRY) ("Petro-Victory" or "Company") is delighted to announce that the Company has closed US $700,000 of additional secured financing from an existing lender, 579 Max Ltd. ("579 Max") and will appoint Mr. T. Lynn Bryant, Principal of 579 Max, to the Board of Directors of the Company effective on or about July 15, 2021.

The financing will be on the same terms as the Company's existing US$2,000,000 debentures with 579 Max, which bear interest at the rate of 9% per annum, payable quarterly. This additional note is due on the earlier of November 18, 2022, or upon the Company obtaining additional financing from another lender. It is not subject to an early repayment premium. In addition, subject to the final approval of the TSXV, 579 Max shall receive 230,125 warrants to purchase a like number of Common Shares over the term of the loan at an exercise price equal to a market value price per share as determined by the closing price on July 14, 2021.

With the accelerated growth of the assets accumulated to date and associated work program development, the Company's Board of Directors reassessed its capabilities and will appoint Mr. Bryant as an additional non-executive director concurrent to closing of the loan increase. He has over three decades of mature and exploratory oil field development experience which is expected to be invaluable in the coming activity for the Company. In addition to his involvement in the financing via 579 Max, Mr. Bryant is a significant equity investor in Petro-Victory, with a holding of approximately 6.9% of the equity.

Currently, Mr. Bryant is also the CEO of Ridge Petroleum, Inc. which he founded in 1987 as an independent operator of more than 200 wells in the United States and Canada. Prior to founding Ridge Petroleum, Mr. Bryant was production operations engineer with Carless Resources subsequent to serving as a district engineer at J-W Operating Company.  Mr. Bryant is a graduate of Texas Tech University with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering. 

Upon joining the Petro-Victory board Mr. Bryant commented:
"I am thrilled to join Petro-Victory and to contribute to their success as a high-growth E&P company within the dynamic Brazilian market."

Richard F. Gonzalez, Chief Executive Officer of Petro-Victory commented:
"Mr. Bryant's decades of experience in oil & gas exploration and development add considerable depth and strength to the Petro-Victory leadership team as we enter a phase of rapid growth.  Further, we are very pleased to close this second financing with 579 Max. This incremental financing allows us flexibility to participate in business development opportunities that are currently available to the company, to further develop and grow our Brazil onshore portfolio and continue to create value for our shareholders."
