Petroteq Announces New Subscription and Debt Conversion

SHERMAN OAKS, CA / ACCESSWIRE / August 26, 2022 / Petroteq Energy Inc. ("Petroteq" or the "Company") ‎‎(TSXV:PQE); (‎OTC PINK:PQEFF); (FSE:PQCF), an oil ‎company focused on the development and implementation of its proprietary oil-‎extraction and remediation technologies, is pleased to announce that it has received an irrevocable subscription agreement and funds from an arm's length subscriber for gross proceeds of US$900,000 for 4,390,243 units of Petroteq (each, a "Unit") at a price of US$0.205 per Unit. Each Unit shall consist of one common share of the Company (a "Common Share") and one-half of one transferable share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"), with each Warrant entitling the holder to acquire one Common Share at a price of US$0.27 per share for a period of 24 months. The net proceeds will be used by Petroteq on its extraction technology in ‎Asphalt Ridge, Utah, and for working ‎capital purposes.‎

The Company also announces its intention to complete a debt conversion transaction with Cantone Asset Management LLC (the "Creditor"), which, together with its affiliates, is one of Company's largest shareholders, pursuant to ‎which the Company will issue an aggregate of 1,170,731 units (each, a "Debt Unit") of ‎the Company at a deemed price of ‎US$0.205 per share in satisfaction of US$240,000. Each Debt Unit shall consist of one Common Share and one-half of one transferable share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Debt Warrant"), with each Debt Warrant entitling the holder to acquire one additional Common Share at price of US$[0.234] per share for a period of 24 months. The Company (with the Creditor's consent) determined to satisfy the ‎indebtedness with common shares to ‎‎preserve the ‎Company's cash for use on [its extraction technology in ‎Asphalt Ridge, Utah,] and for working ‎capital.‎

The foregoing transactions are subject to approval of the ‎directors of the Company and regulatory approval from the TSX Venture Exchange. The ‎foregoing securities will be issued in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of the United ‎States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), and applicable state securities laws, and ‎will be issued as "restricted securities" (as defined in Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act). In addition, the ‎securities issuable pursuant to the transactions noted herein will be subject to a Canadian four-month hold ‎period.‎

The debt conversion transaction with the Creditor is considered a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101"). The transaction is exempt from the formal valuation approval requirements of MI 61-101 as none of the securities of the Company are listed on a prescribed stock exchange. The transaction is exempt from the minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as at the time they were agreed to, neither the fair market value of either transaction, nor the fair market value of the consideration for either transaction, insofar as they involve interested parties, exceeded 25% of the Company's market capitalization, respectively.

About Petroteq Energy Inc.
Petroteq is a clean technology company focused on the development, implementation and licensing ‎of a ‎patented, environmentally safe and sustainable technology for the extraction and reclamation of ‎heavy oil and ‎bitumen from oil sands and mineable oil deposits. The versatile technology can be ‎applied to both water-wet ‎deposits and oil-wet deposits - outputting high-quality oil and clean sand.‎

Petroteq believes that its technology can produce a relatively sweet heavy crude oil from deposits of ‎oil sands ‎at Asphalt Ridge without requiring the use of water, and therefore without generating ‎wastewater which would ‎otherwise require the use of other treatment or disposal facilities which ‎could be harmful to the environment. ‎Petroteq's process is intended to be a more environmentally ‎friendly extraction technology that leaves clean ‎residual sand that can be sold or returned to the ‎environment, without the use of tailings ponds or further ‎remediation.
