Brad Nichol, President & CEO, commented, “In today–s extremely challenging capital environment we are very pleased to have been successfully admitted to AIM. The dual listing will serve many purposes. Firstly, to better support the nearly 50% of our current shareholders who are European-based. Secondly, to build on the strength of our existing capital partnerships and to foster new, mostly institutional relationships. Thirdly, to access the more readily available and lower cost capital that the London market has to offer. Both the AIM and TSXV listings will give the Company better access to new and existing sources of capital that will offer the Company greater flexibility and opportunity to fund its aggressive growth plans.” Nichol added, “With an aggressive oil-focused growth strategy in Saskatchewan–s heavy oil hotbed, access to capital is a differentiating factor of critical importance. As a dually listed company, we are far better positioned than the majority of junior oil & gas companies to take advantage of the numerous opportunities available.”
