Renegade Petroleum Announces Decisive Victory Over FrontFour

FrontFour Withdraws Meeting Requisition After Record Shareholder Turnout Supports Current Board

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Jan 27, 2014) - Renegade Petroleum Ltd. (TSX-VENTURE:RPL) is pleased to announce a decisive victory over FrontFour Capital Group LLC. As result, FrontFour has now withdrawn its requisition for a special meeting of shareholders that had been scheduled for January 28, 2014 to meet FrontFour's demands.

Renegade is also pleased to report that the total shares voted by proxy for the cancelled meeting represented a record shareholder turnout for Renegade, the majority of which supported the current board of directors.

"On behalf of the board and management, I would like to thank our retail and institutional shareholders for their tremendous, wide-spread support," said Thomas A. Budd, Chairman of the Renegade board of directors. "Despite our numerous attempts to offer FrontFour two board seats in order to settle this wasteful diversion of money, time and resources, this proxy battle has unfortunately cost the Company in excess of $1 million. Although this has delayed dealing with both the active interest generated from our strategic review, and the completion of our CEO search process, we are confident that the clarity achieved by ending this battle will allow us to proceed with the business at hand, as we look to enhance value for all shareholders."

Renegade also announces that, further to their previously announced intentions, the details of which were provided in Renegade's proxy circular dated December 12, 2013, Jay Reid and Steven Sharpe have resigned from the board. The Renegade board of directors and management would like to thank Messrs. Reid and Sharpe for their extensive positive contributions to the Company and wish them the very best in the future.

Due to the reduced size of the board, the board no longer has a need for a separate committee to proceed with the strategic review. Instead, the Special Committee has been disbanded and the full board will continue with the strategic review mandate. The board will continue to consider all alternatives available to the Company with a view of acting in the best interests of Renegade and all of its stakeholders.

The first item on the Company's agenda, now that the proxy contest is over and resources can be appropriately deployed, will be the dissemination of Renegade's capital budget and guidance for 2014, which it expects to provide early next week.
