NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION IN THE UNITED STATES OR OVER UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES

Pine Cliff Energy Ltd. (“Pine Cliff” or the “Corporation“) (TSX VENTURE:PNE) is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced short form prospectus offering of 28,500,000 common shares (the “Common Shares“) at a price of $0.88 per common share for gross proceeds of $25,080,000 (the “Offering“).

The Offering was made pursuant to an underwriting agreement with a syndicate of underwriters led by Paradigm Capital Inc. and including Clarus Securities Inc., AltaCorp Capital Inc., Haywood Securities Inc., GMP Securities L.P., Scotia Capital Inc. and CIBC World Markets Inc.

Pine Cliff intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to finance a portion of the purchase price of the Corporation’s previously announced acquisition of an additional 53.8196% working interest in the Monogram unit and related infrastructure in the Province of Alberta for an aggregate purchase price of $34 million (the “Monogram Acquisition“), which is anticipated to close near the end of July, 2013, assuming the waiver of all rights of first refusal (“ROFRs“) and prior to any adjustments. In the event that the Monogram Acquisition fails to close, Pine Cliff intends to use the net proceeds for future acquisitions that fit Pine Cliff’s acquisition criteria and for general working capital purposes, which may include the payment of expenses in connection with Pine Cliff’s day-to-day operations.

Pine Cliff also announced today it has entered into the definitive purchase agreement for the Monogram Acquisition (the “Definitive Agreement“). The terms and conditions of the Definitive Agreement are consistent with the terms of the Monogram Acquisition described above and set forth in the news release of the Corporation relating to the Monogram Acquisition dated May 27, 2013 and the Corporation’s short form prospectus dated June 11, 2013.
