(TSX: AAV)
CALGARY, AB, Sept. 11, 2026 /CNW/ — Advantage Energy Ltd. (“Advantage” or the “Corporation”) is pleased to announce that it has completed the previously announced sale of its assets in the Wembley area of Alberta (the “Wembley Assets”) for gross cash proceeds of $316 million, prior to closing adjustments (the “Transaction”). The Transaction closed earlier than the timing anticipated in Advantage’s August 26, 2026 press release following satisfaction of all regulatory requirements and other closing conditions.
The sale crystallizes significant value from a high-quality asset and provides Advantage with substantial financial and strategic flexibility. Proceeds from the Transaction have been applied to reduce bank indebtedness. With the Transaction complete, Advantage has resumed significant share repurchases while continuing to prioritize balance sheet strength and disciplined, returns-based capital allocation.
Advantage thanks its employees and the teams involved in completing the Transaction efficiently and ahead of the previously anticipated closing timeline.
