NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES.
Candax Energy Inc. ("Candax") (TSX:CAX) wishes to inform shareholders that the TSX press release that was issued on Friday, December 17th forms part of the listing review process, also known as a "de-listing review", a routine procedure when any company uses the financial hardship exemption described below.
As indicated in Candax's press release of December 14th describing the proposed debt restructuring plan (the "Debt Restructuring Plan"), Candax has made an application to the TSX for the listing of shares that would be issued pursuant to the debt restructuring. The TSX has advised Candax that application of the 'financial hardship' exemption from the requirement to seek shareholder approval automatically results in a TSX review to confirm that Candax continues to meet TSX listing requirements - this is a routine procedure when a listed company applies for this exemption. Candax has received confirmation from the TSX that Candax has until April 15, 2011 for the determination of whether it continues to meet the listing requirements of the TSX. Candax fully expects to be able to show that it meets applicable TSX listing requirements following completion of the Debt Restructuring Plan.
Candax Energy Inc. is an international energy company with its head office in Toronto and offices in Tunis and Madagascar. The Candax group is engaged in exploration and the production of oil and gas and power generation in Tunisia and holds an interest in an exploration permit in Madagascar.
