CALGARY, AB, Sept. 8, 2026 /CNW/ — Tourmaline Oil Corp. (TSX: TOU) (“Tourmaline” or the “Company“) announces the filing of an early warning report (the “Early Warning Report“) pursuant to National Instrument 62-103 – The Early Warning System and Related Take-Over Bid and Insider Reporting Issues.
Between June 1, 2026 and September 8, 2026, Tourmaline completed two minor acquisitions (together, the “Acquisitions“) in both the BC Montney and Alberta Deep Basin gas complexes to consolidate producing assets, infrastructure and future drilling inventories in both complexes, complementing Tourmaline’s long-term exploration and production growth strategy. Pursuant to the Acquisitions, Tourmaline disposed of an aggregate of 3,598,397 common shares (“Common Shares“) of Topaz Energy Corp. (“Topaz“) to third-party sellers as consideration for the Acquisitions (the “Dispositions“). As a result of the Dispositions, Tourmaline’s beneficial ownership of Common Shares was reduced by more than two percent (2%) of Topaz’s outstanding Common Shares since the filing of its last early warning report.
Prior to the Dispositions, Tourmaline held 23,529,494 Common Shares, representing approximately 15.19% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares. Following the completion of the Dispositions, Tourmaline holds 19,931,097 Common Shares, representing approximately 12.87% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares.
Tourmaline intends to hold its remaining Common Shares for investment purposes. Tourmaline may from time to time, depending on market and other conditions, acquire additional Common Shares or dispose of Common Shares through market transactions, public offerings, private agreement or otherwise.
The Early Warning Report with additional information in respect of the foregoing matters will be filed and made available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca under Topaz’s issuer profile. A copy of such report may also be obtained by contacting the secretary of Topaz, on behalf of Tourmaline, at telephone number (587) 747-4830.
