Further to its announcements released on 24 and 25 January 2017 concerning the Fundraising and Acquisition (the "Acquisition Announcements"), the Board of SDX Energy Inc.

"This announcement marks an important milestone in SDX's corporate history. The successful fundraise and acquisition will enable us to substantially increase our production, and cash flow, over the course of 2017 and beyond as we seek to build a mid-tier E&P focused on North Africa.
