CALGARY, Oct. 7, 2014 /CNW/ - Palliser Oil & Gas Corporation ("Palliser" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:PXL)" wishes to report to shareholders on the Company's Annual and Special Meeting.

Palliser shareholders today overwhelmingly approved the proposed amalgamation with Maha Energy Inc. ("Maha") (the "Transaction") by a vote of approximately 98% of the votes cast in favour of the amalgamation.  No dissent rights to the Transaction were exercised by Palliser shareholders.

In addition, Palliser has been advised by Maha that the Maha shareholders have overwhelmingly approved the Transaction by a vote of 100% of the votes cast in favour and, again, no dissent rights to the proposed Transaction were exercised by Maha shareholders.

The Transaction remains subject to a number of usual conditions previously outlined in the joint press release of Palliser and Maha on July 30, 2014 and described in the Joint Information Circular dated September 12, 2014 which may be found under Palliser's filings on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.  It is currently expected that the Transaction will close on or about October 30, 2014.

Principal among the outstanding conditions is the completion of an equity financing of at least US$15,000,000 at US$1.50 per Maha share and a non‑convertible bond issue of at least US$55,000,000 both of which are currently underway by Maha.

In accordance with the amalgamation agreement between Palliser and Maha made July 30, 2014, the conditions, including the financing condition, must be satisfied on or before October 31, 2014.

Palliser shareholders also approved the share compensation arrangements: namely the stock option plan and share unit plan; and the termination of the Company's shareholder rights plan, subject to completion of the Transaction.
