NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES. ANY FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS RESTRICTION MAY CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF UNITED STATES SECURITIES LAW. Redcliffe Exploration Inc. (TSX VENTURE:RXP.A)(TSX VENTURE:RXP.B) ("Redcliffe" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement (the "Amalgamation Agreement") with Paramount Resources Ltd. ("Paramount") and 1534586 Alberta Ltd. ("1534586"), a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Paramount, pursuant to which 1534586 will amalgamate with Redcliffe under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) (the "Amalgamation"), and Redcliffe shareholders, other than Paramount and its affiliates, will receive cash consideration of $0.42 per Redcliffe Class A share (the "Shares"). The purchase price values Redcliffe at approximately $68.5 million, including the assumption of Redcliffe's estimated net debt of approximately $12.5 million at closing. The Amalgamation represents a 31% premium to the closing price of the Shares on May 7, 2010 and a 34% premium over the 10-day weighted average trading price of the Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange up to and including May 7, 2010. In connection with the Amalgamation, each one (1) Class B share of Redcliffe will be converted, in accordance with the terms of the Class B shares, into ten (10) Shares prior to the record date for the shareholders' meeting to be called to approve the Amalgamation, following which the Class B shares will be cancelled and delisted from the TSX Venture Exchange. Pursuant to the Company's articles, Redcliffe shall provide formal written notice to all Class B shareholders of its intention to convert the Class B shares five days prior to the effective date of such conversion. The Board of Directors has unanimously approved the Amalgamation and determined that it is fair to Redcliffe shareholders, that the transaction is in the best interests of Redcliffe and the Redcliffe shareholders, and unanimously recommends that Redcliffe shareholders vote their Shares in favour of the Amalgamation. The directors and officers of Redcliffe, and certain other shareholders, representing approximately 25% of the outstanding Shares (after conversion of the Class B shares) have entered into lock-up agreements pursuant to which they have agreed to vote their Shares in favour of the Amalgamation. An Information Circular regarding the Amalgamation is expected to be mailed to security holders on or about May 26, 2010 for an annual and special meeting of shareholders scheduled to take place on or about June 25, 2010. FirstEnergy Capital Corp. is acting as exclusive financial advisor to Redcliffe with respect to the Amalgamation, and has provided the Board of Directors of Redcliffe with an opinion that, subject to the review of final documentation, the consideration to be received under the Amalgamation is fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of Redcliffe Shares. The Amalgamation is also subject to regulatory approval and the approval of the Redcliffe shareholders. Redcliffe has agreed not to solicit or initiate any discussion or negotiation concerning the sale of significant assets or other business combinations. In the event the transaction does not proceed, under certain circumstances, Redcliffe has agreed to pay a non-completion fee of $2.75 million to Paramount. The Information Circular and Amalgamation Agreement will be filed by Redcliffe on SEDAR. Redcliffe is a Calgary based company exploring for oil and gas in Alberta. The Company has a significant land base and controls 127 (78 net) sections in the Peace River Arch south of Grande Prairie, as well as additional lands in and around Pembina, including 9.25 (5.75 net) sections with Cardium oil potential. Production is focused in the Gold Creek/Wapiti area of northwestern Alberta and the Pembina area of central Alberta.
