Tilting Capital Corp. Announces Execution of Revised Agreements to Purchase Oil and Gas Assets

12/09/2012 6:15pm

Marketwired Canada


NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES.

Tilting Capital Corp. (the "Corporation" or "Tilting Capital") (TSX
VENTURE:TLL.H), today announced the execution of revised definitive agreements
for the previously announced proposed transaction involving the purchase of
certain Colombian oil and gas assets (the "Proposed Transaction").


Summary of the Proposed Transaction

The previously announced definitive agreements had terminated prior to
completion of the transaction. Tilting Capital has now entered into revised
definitive agreements with Canacol Energy Ltd. (the "Vendor") for the following:




--  Tilting Capital will acquire a 100% interest in the Production Sharing
    Contract, which is forecast to result in a 39% net interest in the
    operated Entrerrios producing block in Colombia (the "Entrerrios
    Block"). The prior agreement provided for the purchase of a 60%
    interest. The Entrerrios Block currently has production of approximately
    184 net barrels of oil per day (gross approximately 500 barrels of oil
    per day). The purchase price will be $1,250,000 in cash and also
    includes the issue to the Vendor of 5,000,000 preferred shares which
    convert to common shares in the event the Entrerrios Block is extended
    by Ecopetrol to the end of the life of the field;
    
--  Tilting Capital would acquire all of the Vendor's (15%) interest in the
    exploration block Morichito in Colombia (the "Morichito Block") for a
    purchase price of $2,000,000 cash; and
    
--  the letter of intent pursuant to which Tilting Capital may farm into
    Block 170, Brazil ("Brazil Block") in the future and also enter into an
    area of mutual interest agreement for Brazil in the future remains
    unchanged. Tilting Capital will have no obligations or commitments on
    Brazil Block at the closing of the Proposed Transaction. 



About Tilting Capital Corp.

Tilting Capital is a corporation under the Canada Business Corporations Act with
no active business. Tilting Capital is listed on the NEX board of the Exchange.
The NEX board accepts companies previously listed as Tier 1 or Tier 2 issuers on

maintain a listing while they complete their reorganizations. In order to
qualify for the NEX board, the Corporation must, among other conditions, be a
reporting issuer in good standing with all relevant securities regulatory
authorities and under corporate law.


At the Corporation's request, trading in its common shares has been halted by
the Exchange. Trading is expected to remain halted until (i) the TSX Venture
Exchange is satisfied with the material submitted in connection with the
Proposed Transaction; and (ii) a sponsor is engaged or a sponsorship exemption
is obtained. 


Closing of the Proposed Transaction

It is contemplated that closing of the Proposed Transaction would be subject to
a number of terms and conditions including:




a.  to the extent necessary, receipt of any and all necessary court
    approvals, stock exchange approvals, shareholder approvals, governmental
    consents, notifications, and any necessary contractual consents and
    rights of first refusal for the Proposed Transaction, including the TSXV
    and the working interest partners in Colombia; 
    
b.  completion of a $4,500,000 private placement of units of the Corporation
    at $0.15 per unit, each unit to be comprised of one common share and one
    warrant exercisable for one additional common share at $0.30 expiring
    five years from closing; 
    
c.  Tilting Capital will use commercially reasonable efforts to close at the
    earliest possible date, with closing to occur no later than October 31,
    2012; and 
    
d.  approval of the Proposed Transaction by the shareholders of Tilting
    Capital either by written consent or by shareholder meeting, as required
    by the Exchange.

(1) Possible reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be
recovered than probable reserves. There is a 10% probability that the quantities
actually recovered will equal or exceed the sum of proved plus probable plus
possible reserves.


The following is the price deck table used in preparation of the DeGolyer and
MacNaughton Report. There was no use of CAPEX in the evaluation of the
Entrerrios Block by DeGolyer and MacNaughton. WTI oil price forecast was used
for the Entrerrios Block. Operating expenses and operating-expense forecasts
have been determined by DeGolyer and MacNaughton based on information provided
by the Vendor, public information available on the analog field, Rubiales, and
public information on operations of similar projects. In certain situations,
future expenses, either higher or lower than current expenses, may have been
used because of anticipated changes in operating conditions. Escalation has been
applied to operating expenses to account for inflation. The Vendor's obligation
for operating expenses is based on 100% in the Entrerrios Block. For the
Entrerrios Block, there is a U.S. $0.30 per barrel abandonment liability
obligation that is included into the variable cost of the evaluation. Future
capital costs were estimated using current capital cost forecasts provided by
the Vendor. Where necessary, these costs were scaled and adjusted to fit the
scenario being evaluated. Escalation has been applied to capital costs to
account for inflation. There is no capital cost for the Entrerrios Block at this
time, but the Vendors' obligation is 100%. There is an 8% royalty for the
Entrerrios Block. This royalty is a function of the forecast WTI price. At the
request of the Vendor, Colombian corporation taxes were assessed on a
consolidated basis taking into account the tax basis of the properties as of
June 30, 2012, and additional taxes were assessed for each property that is
included in the DeGolyer and MacNaughton Report separately. The Colombian
corporate income tax is 33%. The depreciation of 30% for development, drilling
and completion costs, 25% for gathering system and 20% for surface facility were
applied to the assessment of the Entrerrios Block
