Tamarack acquires all outstanding common shares of Sure Energy

Sure Energy Inc. completed a plan of arrangement (the arrangement) with Tamarack Valley Energy Ltd., pursuant to which Tamarack acquired all of the outstanding common shares of Sure Energy. In connection with the arrangement, on September 5, 2013, Sure Energy completed a bought deal private placement offering of 96,200,000 subscription receipts at a price of $0.26 per subscription receipt, for aggregate gross proceeds of $25,012,000.

The former holders of Sure Energy shares, including those who received Sure Energy shares upon the conversion of the subscription receipts, received 0.105 of a common share of Tamarack for each Sure Energy share held, for an aggregate of approximately 16,461,966 Tamarack shares being issued to former holders of Sure Energy shares.

The arrangement was completed pursuant to a statutory plan of arrangement under section 193 of the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) and was approved at a meeting of the shareholders of Sure Energy and by the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta on October 9, 2013. The total transaction was valued at approximately $75 million.
