Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - April 10, 2019) - Strategic Oil & Gas Ltd. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Strategic Transmission Ltd. (TSXV: SOG) (collectively, "Strategic" or the "Company") announces that it has obtained creditor protection under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act ("CCAA") pursuant to an Order granted by the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta (the "Court") dated April 10, 2019.
As a result of the Company's working capital deficit, limited cash flows from operating activities and current inability to access capital markets, and after careful consideration of all other available alternatives, the Board of Directors of Strategic determined that it was in the best interests of the Company and its stakeholders to obtain creditor protection under the CCAA. The Court has appointed of KPMG Inc. as the monitor ("Monitor") to oversee the CCAA proceedings and report to the Court.
During the CCAA proceedings, it is expected that every day obligations to employees, key suppliers of goods and services and the Company's customers will, subsequent to the filing date, continue to be met. While under CCAA protection, management of the Company will remain responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Company under the general oversight of the Monitor. The Company intends to seek approval to initiate a sale and investment solicitation process ("SISP") to be conducted in conjunction with the CCAA proceedings, intended to generate interest in the business and/or the assets of the Company, with the goal of maximizing value for all stakeholders.
Further news releases will be provided on an ongoing basis throughout the CCAA process as may be determined necessary.
