Crescent Point Energy Announces Closing of Lightstream Asset Acquisition

CALGARY, ALBERTA — (Marketwired) — 09/30/14 — Crescent Point Energy Corp. (“Crescent Point” or the “Company”) (TSX: CPG) (NYSE: CPG) is pleased to report that the previously announced agreement to acquire certain assets from Lightstream Resources Ltd. closed today. As a result, Crescent Point has acquired high-netback, low decline, conventional oil production of approximately 3,300 boe/d and 76 net sections of land that are contiguous with Crescent Point–s existing land base in southeast Saskatchewan and Manitoba. The Company also acquired an additional 44 net sections of undeveloped fee title land, much of which is located in an exciting new fairway that the Company believes holds significant exploratory potential.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained in this press release constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company has tried to identify such forward-looking statements by use of such words as “expected”, “look forward to” and other similar expressions, but these words are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements.

In particular, this press release contains forward-looking statements pertaining to the exploratory potential of the lands acquired from Lightstream.

All forward-looking statements are based on Crescent Point–s beliefs and assumptions based on information available at the time the assumption was made. Crescent Point believes that the expectations reflected in those forward-looking statements are reasonable but no assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct and such forward-looking statements included in this report should not be unduly relied upon. By their nature, such forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, which could cause actual results or other expectations to differ materially from those anticipated, expressed or implied by such statements, including those material risks discussed in our annual information form under “Risk Factors” and our Management–s Discussion and Analysis for the year ended December 31, 2013, under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Forward-Looking Information.”

Barrels of oil equivalent (“boes”) may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of 6 Mcf: 1 Bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.

Additional information on these and other factors that could affect Crescent Point–s operations or financial results are included in Crescent Point–s reports on file with Canadian and U.S. securities regulatory authorities.

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on this forward-looking information, which is given as of the date it is expressed herein or otherwise and Crescent Point undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless required to do so pursuant to applicable law. All subsequent forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, attributable to Crescent Point or persons acting on the Company–s behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements.

Crescent Point is one of Canada–s largest light and medium oil producers, with an annual dividend of CDN$2.76 per share.
