Calgary, Alberta–(Newsfile Corp. – July 27, 2026) – Saturn Oil & Gas Inc. (TSX: SOIL) (OTCQX: OILSF) (“Saturn” or the “Company“), a light oil-weighted producer focused on unlocking value through the development of assets in Saskatchewan and Alberta, is pleased to announce that our offer (the “Offer“) to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares (the “Common Shares“) of Burgess Creek Exploration Inc. (“Burgess Creek“), a privately held, 97% light oil and liquids weighted producer with assets in the heart of Saturn’s core southeast Saskatchewan Oxbow area, as previously described in the press release issued by Burgess Creek dated June 19, 2026, has been accepted by holders of Common Shares representing over 99% of the total issued and outstanding. Accordingly, the minimum tender condition under applicable Canadian securities laws has been satisfied and all other conditions to the Offer have been satisfied. The Offer’s purchase price features a low cash flow multiple and represents a value less than Burgess Creek’s proved developed producing value. With meaningful identified synergies, we believe integrating Burgess Creek further supports our ongoing ‘Core-Up’ strategy, adding to our existing portfolio of high-tier conventional and open hole multi-lateral (“OHML”) targets.
Computershare Trust Company of Canada reported that as of 5:00 p.m. (Calgary Time) on July 24, 2026, being the expiry time of the initial deposit period of the Offer, at least 133,233,948 Common Shares (the “Tendered Shares“) were validly deposited under the Offer and not withdrawn. Saturn has taken up the Tendered Shares and will pay for the Tendered Shares within three business days.
In addition, the Offer is being extended for the mandatory extension period under applicable Canadian securities laws until 5:00 p.m. (Calgary time) on August 6, 2026 to allow those shareholders who have not yet tendered their Common Shares to the Offer an opportunity to do so. Saturn will take up and pay for any Common Shares validly deposited to the Offer during the mandatory extension period within 10 calendar days after any such deposit.
Following the mandatory extension period, Saturn intends to acquire any remaining outstanding Common Shares pursuant to the compulsory acquisition provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Alberta).
