Rooster Energy Ltd. Provides Update Regarding Quarterly Financial Statement Filing
CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - May 30, 2017) - ROOSTER ENERGY LTD. (the "Company") (www.roosterenergyltd.com) (TSX VENTURE:COQ) announced today that the
filing with applicable Canadian securities regulators of its quarterly financial statements, management's discussion and analysis
and related CEO and CFO certifications for the period ended March 31, 2017 has been delayed beyond the filing deadline of May 30,
2017.
As previously disclosed, the Company is in discussions with the holders of its Senior Secured Notes to restructure the terms
and conditions of the related Note Purchase Agreement. To date the Company and the holders of Senior Secured Notes have been
unable to reach agreement on these matters. As a result, the Company remains under significant cash constraints and has been
unable to complete its requisite financial disclosures within the mandated time frame. Additionally, the Company opted not
to make the interest payment due on May 1, 2017 under the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement. There can be no assurance
the Company will be able to reach a satisfactory agreement with the holders of its Senior Secured Notes or resume the filing of
its continuous disclosure materials within a particular time frame or at all. In the event the Company is unable to
satisfactorily restructure the Senior Secured Notes, the Company would in all likelihood exercise all of its available
alternatives to preserve the going concern value of the Company. Such alternatives could include filing a voluntary petition for
relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or similar restructuring laws, with recognition of any orders entered
thereunder in the appropriate jurisdiction in Canada.
