CALGARY, Alberta, Oct. 13, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — RMP Energy Inc. (“RMP” or the “Company“) (TSX:RMP) is pleased to announce that the holders of common shares of the Company (the “Shareholders“) approved today by an overwhelming majority (over 99 percent) the previously-announced transformational asset disposition (the “Transaction“) pursuant to which the Company will dispose of all of its crude oil and natural gas interests in the Waskahigan/Grizzly, Kabob, Gilby and Pine Creek areas of West Central Alberta, in addition to other minor Alberta properties (collectively, the “Disposition Assets“) for total consideration of $80.0 million, subject to customary closing adjustments.  The Company will retain its crude oil and natural gas assets and associated interests in its core Elmworth area of operations.  The Transaction is expected to close on or about October 17, 2017.
