Palo Duro Energy Approves Advance Notice Policy

Palo Duro Energy Inc.'s ("Palo Duro" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:PDE.H) board
of directors (the "Board of Directors") has approved an advance notice policy
(the "Policy") effective June 25, 2013. The purpose of the Policy is to provide
a clear framework for nominating directors of the Company; which will facilitate
an orderly and efficient process for nomination and election of directors at
annual or special general meetings of shareholders. The Policy includes a
process that requires advance notice to the Company in circumstances where
nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors are made by
shareholders of the Company other than pursuant to a proposal or requisition of
shareholders made in accordance with the Business Corporations Act (Alberta).
Among other things, the Policy fixes a deadline by which holders of record of
common shares of the Company must submit director nominations to the Company
prior to any annual or special general meeting of shareholders and sets forth
the information that a shareholder must include in the notice to the Company for
the notice to be in proper written form.


In the case of an annual general meeting of shareholders, notice to the Company
must be made not less than 30 nor more than 65 days prior to the date of the
annual general meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the annual
general meeting is to be held on a date that is less than 50 days after the date
on which the first public announcement of the date of the annual general meeting
was made, notice may be made not later than the close of business on the 10th
day following such public announcement.


In the case of a special general meeting of shareholders (which is not also an
annual general meeting), notice to the Company must be made no later than the
close of business on the 15th day following the day on which the first public
announcement of the date of the special general meeting was made. The Policy
provides that the Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, waive any
requirement of the Policy.


The Board of Directors intends to seek shareholder ratification of the Policy at
Palo Duro's next annual and special meeting, to be held on July 31, 2013.
