Press Releases

 

 

CALGARY, Dec. 22, 2014 /CNW/ - Marquee Energy Ltd. ("Marquee" or the "Company") (TSXV: "MQL") announces that it intends to implement a normal course issuer bid ("NCIB") through the facilities of the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV"). Pursuant to the NCIB, Marquee would be able to purchase for cancellation up to 6,017,034 (5%) of its common shares (the "Shares") issued and outstanding for a one year period, at prevailing market prices. Subject to regulatory approval, the one year period will commence on January 5, 2015 and expire on January 4, 2016.  The brokerage firm conducting the NCIB on behalf of Marquee is Peters & Co. Limited. 

Marquee believes that, from time to time, the repurchase of its Shares for cancellation when market prices do not reflect the value of the Company's assets and opportunities could represent an appropriate use of available cash. To the extent that Marquee purchases Shares for cancellation in accordance with the NCIB, the remaining shareholders would benefit through an increased equity interest in the Company's assets.

Marquee's board and management team have successfully grown numerous junior oil and gas companies through previous commodity cycles. We are committed to exercising a disciplined approach to capital spending during this time of low commodity prices in order to maintain the Company's financial strength and flexibility. Marquee will provide guidance in mid-January for the first half of 2015 based on spending within cash flow. Further capital plans for 2015 will be announced as price stability is established. The Company will continue to focus on efficiency improvements in capital, operating and overhead expenditures in the year ahead. Marquee has established concentrated growth oriented, low cost, oil focused assets at Michichi and Lloydminster with a multiyear drilling inventory. We are looking forward to the challenges and opportunities of 2015.
