CALGARY, AB – Osum Oil Sands Corp. (“Osum” or the “Company”) wishes to advise shareholders that its special committee of independent directors (the “Special Committee”) is currently in discussions that could lead to a superior offer to the current takeover bid of $2.40 per share by Waterous Energy Fund (the “WEF Offer”). The Special Committee expects to be in a position to announce the outcome of those discussions in the next several days and well in advance of the February 24th expiry of the WEF Offer.
As a result, there is no need to tender to the WEF Offer at this time.
Given this recent development, the independent valuation has been put on hold.
