CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Dec 23, 2013) - Primary Petroleum Corporation (TSX-VENTURE:PIE)(OTCQX:PETEF) ("Primary" or the "Corporation"), a junior oil and gas company, is pleased to announce that it, along with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Primary ("Primary Subco"), have entered into a definitive agreement (the "Amalgamation Agreement") with Keek Inc. ("Keek") dated December 20, 2013, pursuant to which Primary Subco will amalgamate (the "Amalgamation") with Keek.

The Amalgamation is structured as a three-cornered amalgamation and, as a result, the amalgamated corporation ("Amalco") will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Primary on closing and the former holders of Keek will become shareholders of Primary and receive common shares of Primary on a one-for-one basis. Under TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") policy, the Amalgamation will constitute a reverse take-over ("RTO") and a change of business ("COB") for Primary. Primary will be applying to the TSXV for conditional approval to have the common shares of the Resulting Issuer (as defined below) listed for trading on the TSX following the Amalgamation ("Resulting Issuer Shares"). Primary anticipates closing the Amalgamation in early March, 2014. Immediately after the completion of the Amalgamation, on a non-diluted basis, Primary shareholders will own approximately 44.6% (149,507,705 shares) and Keek shareholders will own approximately 55.4% (185,423,250 shares) of the combined Resulting Issuer Shares.

Shareholder Approval

Primary intends to schedule an annual general and special meeting of its shareholders to approve, among other items: (a) the RTO and COB; (b) a name change to Keek Inc. or such other name as is agreed to by Primary and Keek; (c) the appointment of the directors of the Corporation following the closing of the Amalgamation (the "Resulting Issuer") and (d) a resolution authorizing Primary's directors to sell the oil and gas assets of the Corporation.

In addition, Keek will hold a meeting of its shareholders to approve the Amalgamation.

Loans to Keek

As disclosed in the press release dated November 19, 2013, Primary has agreed to issue loans to Keek upon the completion of certain milestones of the Amalgamation. Primary issued a loan (the "First Loan") to Keek for $600,000 on November 19, 2013 following execution of the LOI. A second loan of $1,000,000 (the "Second Loan") was issued to Keek on December 20, 2013, concurrently with the execution of the Amalgamation Agreement. An additional loan of $1,000,000 (the "Third Loan" and collectively with the First Loan and the Second Loan, the "Loans") will be granted to Keek on the date that the TSXV consents to the mailing of the management information circular of Primary to the Primary shareholders. The Loans each bear interest at a rate of 12% per annum and are due on April 25, 2014. Each of the Loans is secured by all of the assets of Keek and rank equally or in priority to other secured debt of Keek.

Conditions to Completion of the Amalgamation

The closing of the Amalgamation is subject to satisfaction or waiver of terms and conditions, customary or otherwise, including but not limited to, acceptance by the TSXV of the Amalgamation, requisite shareholder approval of both Primary and Keek and other applicable approvals. There can be no assurance that the Amalgamation will be completed as proposed or at all.
