VANCOUVER, Jan. 27, 2016 /CNW/ - Terrace Energy Corp. (the "Company") (TSXV: TZR, OTCQX: TCRRF, Germany: 2TR) announced today that it will not be making the January 31, 2016 interest payment on its 8% convertible unsecured notes (the "Notes") due 2018.

Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, interest payments are payable on a quarterly basis, on the last day of January, April, July and October in each fiscal year of the Company. An event of default will occur if the Company fails to make an interest payment within the 15 day cure period provided for in the Indenture, in respect of two consecutive interest payment dates. As such, the Company will not be in default for failing to make the January 31, 2016 payment.

The interest deferral will result in approximately $800,000 net cash savings for the quarter.

Given current market conditions in the oil and gas industry and projected outlook and the Company's liquidity and other requirements, the Company is reviewing strategic alternatives to preserve liquidity and its ongoing business and may seek to restructure the terms of the Notes.
