Donnybrook Provides Corporate Update
  
 

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Dec 16, 2013) - Donnybrook Energy Inc. ("Donnybrook" or the "Company") (TSX-VENTURE:DEI) reports that the board of directors of the Company has determined that, at this time, the Company will not be proceeding with the previously announced proposed consolidation of its common shares ("Common Shares") and name change.

At the meeting of shareholders of the Company ("Shareholders") held on September 6, 2013, Shareholders approved, among other things, a special resolution to consolidate the issued and outstanding Common Shares on the basis of one (1) post-consolidation Common Share for up to every forty-three (43) pre-consolidation Common Shares, or such lesser ratio that the board of directors of the Company (the "Board"), in its sole discretion, may determine to be appropriate (the "Consolidation"). Shareholders also approved a special resolution to change the name of the Company to "Deca Exploration Inc." or such other name as the Board may determine to approve (the "Name Change").

The Company is currently in the process of defending the previously announced proposed class action. The Company firmly believes that the allegations in the proposed class action are without merit and the Company will be vigorously defending the claims. Accordingly, the Company has deferred its previously announced pursuit of strategic alternatives to a future date as yet to be determined.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF DONNYBROOK ENERGY INC.

Malcolm F. W. Todd, Chief Executive Officer
