Lateral Capital Corp. Announces Corporate Updates

NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS
RESTRICTION MAY CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF UNITED STATES SECURITIES LAW.


Lateral Capital Corp. ("Lateral" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:LCP) announces
that copies of its audited financial statements for the year ended December 31,
2013 and the related management's discussion and analysis, as well as its
statement of reserves data and other oil and gas information (together with the
report of reserve data by the Company's independent qualified reserves evaluator
and the report of management and directors of the Company on the oil and gas
disclosure) are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. 


Lateral also wishes to provide an update on the previously announced acquisition
of Vector Exploration Corp. ("Vector"). Vector has deferred the payment of the
$130,000 non-refundable deposit until closing of the acquisition which is
expected to occur in the second quarter of 2014. Additionally, the work
commitment amount of approximately $267,000 has been paid by Vector to the
Government of Saskatchewan, and such payment will be addressed by an amendment
to the purchase and sale agreement between Vector and Lateral prior to closing.
Lateral is currently considering supplementary financing mechanisms to fund the
acquisition of Vector. A further press release will be issued to address the
amendment to the purchase and sale agreement with respect to the acquisition of
Vector and to provide details on any supplementary financing undertaken by the
Company.


Additionally, further to its announcements on February 28, 2014 and April 17,
2014, Lateral has now completed the second tranche of its previously announced
non-brokered private placement of units ("Units") for total final tranche
proceeds of $12,600. At closing of the second tranche Lateral issued 70,000
Units (comprised of 70,000 common shares of the Company ("Common Shares") and
70,000 Common Share purchase warrants ("Warrants")) at a price of $0.18 per
Unit. Each Warrant is exercisable for one Common Share at a price of $0.18 per
share prior to April 30, 2019. Under all earlier tranches of the previously
announced private placement Lateral issued a total of 1,378,333 Units for
aggregate gross proceeds of $248,100.


The Common Shares and Warrants issued pursuant to the second tranche of the
private placement are subject to a hold period that expires August 31, 2014.
Post-closing, Lateral has 52,814,907 Common Shares issued and outstanding. 


The Company intends to use proceeds of the Unit private placement for working
capital purposes.

or utilise debt facilities to finance all or a portion of any such potential
acquisitions.
