Renegade Petroleum Ltd. Announces Closing of Strategic $109 Million
Asset Disposition and Confirms February 2014 Dividend
CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Feb 14, 2014) - Renegade
Petroleum Ltd. ("Renegade" or the "Company") (TSX-VENTURE:RPL) is
pleased to announce the successful closing of the previously
announced disposition of certain oil and gas assets in southeast
Saskatchewan (the "Disposition Assets") for gross proceeds of $109
million (the "Disposition").
ASSET DISPOSITION
The Disposition Assets represent approximately 1,450 boe/d (95%
oil and natural gas liquids) of oil and natural gas liquids
production per day. Through the Disposition, Renegade further
continues to high-grade its asset base by divesting of mature
fields that were identified early on in the strategic review as
being appropriate to divest. The proceeds from the Disposition will
be used to repay a portion of indebtedness drawn under Renegade's
credit facility, which will increase financial flexibility and
reduce future interest costs.
The Disposition further demonstrates the board and management's
efforts to increase Renegade's financial flexibility, prudently
manage the balance sheet and enhance shareholder value.
DIVIDEND
Renegade is pleased to announce that a cash dividend in the
amount of $0.008333 per share ($0.10 annualized) will be paid on
March 17, 2014 to shareholders of record as of February 28, 2014.
The ex-dividend date is February 26, 2014.
These dividends are designated as "eligible dividends" for
Canadian income tax purposes.
CORPORATE INFORMATION
Renegade is a light oil focused development and production
company with assets located in Saskatchewan, Alberta, Manitoba and
North Dakota. Renegade's common shares trade on the TSX Venture
Exchange under the symbol RPL.
READER ADVISORIES
Forward Looking Statements
This news release contains forward-looking information and
forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable
securities laws. Specifically, this news release contains
forward-looking information regarding the Company's development
plans, the use of proceeds from the Disposition and the anticipated
effect of such use of proceeds on Renegade's financial flexibility
and future interest costs, and the board and management's efforts
to increase Renegade's financial flexibility, prudently manage the
balance sheet and enhance shareholder value. The forward-looking
statements contained in this document are based on certain key
expectations and assumptions made by Renegade, including, but not
limited to, the anticipated use of proceeds from the Disposition;
conditions in general economic and financial markets; current
commodity prices and royalty regimes; future operating costs; the
price of oil and natural gas; that the Company's conduct and
results of operations will be consistent with its expectations; and
that the Company will have the ability to develop the Company's oil
and natural gas properties in the manner currently
contemplated.
Although Renegade believes that the expectations and
assumptions on which the forward-looking statements are based are
reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on the
forward-looking statements because Renegade can give no assurance
that they will prove to be correct. Since forward-looking
statements address future events and conditions, by their very
nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual
results could differ materially from those currently anticipated
due to a number of factors and risks. These include, but are not
limited to, risks associated with the oil and gas industry in
general (e.g., operational risks in development, exploration and
production; delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration
or development projects or capital expenditures; the uncertainty of
reserve estimates; the uncertainty of estimates and projections
relating to production, costs and expenses, and health, safety and
environmental risks), commodity price and exchange rate
fluctuations and uncertainties resulting from potential delays or
changes in plans with respect to exploration or development
projects or capital expenditures. In addition, although the Company
intends to use the proceeds of the Disposition as described herein,
there may be circumstances that are not known at this time where a
reallocation of the proceeds may be advisable for business reasons
that management believes are in the Company's best interests.
Certain of these risks are set out in more detail in Renegade's
Annual Information Form which has been filed on SEDAR and can be
accessed at www.sedar.com and Renegade's other public disclosure
documents which have been filed on SEDAR and can be accessed at
www.sedar.com. These forward-looking statements are made as of the
date of this news release and Renegade disclaims any intent or
obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements,
whether as a result of new information, future events or results or
otherwise, other than as required by applicable securities
laws.
The term barrel of oil equivalent ("Boe") may be misleading,
particularly if used in isolation. A Boe conversion ratio of six
thousand cubic feet ("Mcf") of natural gas per barrel ("bbl") of
oil (6 Mcf: 1 bbl) is based on an energy equivalency conversion
method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not
represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Additionally, given
the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil as compared
to natural gas is significantly different from the energy
equivalency of 6:1, utilizing a conversion ratio at 6:1 may be
misleading as an indication of value.
Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services
Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX
Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or
accuracy of this release.
