Raimount Energy Inc. Announces Strategic Acquisition

CALGARY, June 16, 2016 /CNW/ - Raimount Energy Inc. ("Raimount" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has received approval of shareholders on a "majority of the minority" basis to consolidate the Company's interest in the Garrington and Woolford areas (the "Assets") in which the Company currently operates.  Pursuant to respective asset purchase agreements entered into with the Company, 514421 Alberta Ltd. ("514 Alberta"), a company controlled by Steve Vavra and 713443 Alberta Ltd. ("713 Alberta"), a company controlled by Greg Vavra, have each, transferred their respective 25% interest in the Assets to Raimount. Raimount now holds a 100% interest in the Assets.

Raimount has made a cash payment of $250,000.00 and issued 566,000 common shares to 713 Alberta for 713 Alberta's 25% interest in the Assets and has issued 865,733 common shares to 514 Alberta for its 25% interest in the Assets.  In addition, upon achieving certain valuation thresholds in respect of the Assets on or before October 31, 2019, up to a further 732,667 common shares will be issued to each of the vendors (the "Earn Out Shares"). Neither acquisition is dependent on closing of the other, and each transaction was negotiated separate from the other.  The Company is very excited to be in a position to consolidate the Assets without expending substantial cash to achieve the same. Raimount remains very well financed, with no debt and approximately $5.4 million in cash after this transaction.

The acquisitions result in Raimount moving from a 50% to 100% interest in both core areas of operations, and streamlines and accelerates the assessment and proposed development of these assets. The Assets will provide Raimount with a strong core position in an area experiencing significant drilling and development, even in the face of the current oil and natural gas price challenges.  The acquisitions are effective as of the close of business January 31, 2016.

Assuming all Earn Out Shares are issued, Greg Vavra will own and control, directly or indirectly 1,995,956 common shares (24.3% ) and Steve Vavra will own and control, directly and indirectly 2,318,940 common shares (27.8%) of Raimount.

Raimount's common shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "RMT".  Raimount is engaged in the accumulation, development and maintenance of oil and gas properties in the Western Canadian Basin, with substantial prospective lands in southern Alberta.
