CAMARILLO, California, Oct. 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/
-- BNK Petroleum Inc. (the "Company") (TSX: BKX) is pleased to announce that the Company has filed a preliminary
short form prospectus in connection with a proposed offering of up to 55,000,000 common shares (the "Shares") of the Company at a
price of C$0.20 per Share (the "Issue Price") to raise aggregate gross proceeds of approximately
C$11,000,000 (the "Offering"). The Offering will be co-led by GMP FirstEnergy and Haywood
Securities Inc. (collectively, the "Agents"). The Shares are being offered by the Agents on a "commercially reasonable
efforts" basis.
Wolf Regener, President & CEO commented "This offering will allow us to facilitate the
further development of our Tishomingo Field in a low cost environment. We believe that our Tishomingo Field asset has great
potential for additional cash flow and reserve additions creating substantial value for our shareholders. After the
prolonged industry downturn and significant cost cutting, we are looking forward to beginning a drilling program as we continue
to focus on cost reductions."
Certain insiders of the Company have indicated that they will participate in the Offering. Such participation would be
considered to be a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101"). The
transaction will be exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements under MI 61-101.
Closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or about October 28, 2016 and is subject to the
receipt of applicable regulatory approvals, including approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange.
The Shares will be offered by way of a short form prospectus which has been filed in British
Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba and Ontario pursuant to National Instrument 44-101 Short Form Prospectus Distributions, in the United States on a private placement basis pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements of
the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), and in
such other jurisdictions as the Company and the Agents may agree.
