("Cub" or the "Company") (TSX-V:KUB) announces it has closed the sale of its 35% interest in KUBGAS Holdings Limited ("KUB Holdings"). The sale was for a deemed consideration of approximately US $10.9 million. The consideration was comprised of a cash payment of US $2.6 million and the settlement of US $8.3 million in debt. The US $8.3 million in debt was settled in full through the repayment of debt and the simultaneous issuance of US $7.9 million in dividends to the Company with the difference being the applicable withholding taxes. The Company continued gas trading of its 35% interest in KUBGAS through to November 15, 2021.

Patrick McGrath, CEO of Cub said: "The sale of the Company's eastern Ukraine asset essentially de-risks the Company's eastern Ukraine exposure and eliminates the majority of Cub's debt.
