CALGARY, ALBERTA — (Marketwired) — 07/17/13 — PetroGlobe Inc. (“PetroGlobe” or the “Company”) (TSX VENTURE: PGB) announces that its lender, Alberta Treasury Branches (“ATB”), has made demand upon PetroGlobe for payment in full of its outstanding indebtedness in the aggregate amount of approximately $1.8 million plus accrued interest, costs and fees by the close of business on July 25, 2013. In addition, ATB has provided PetroGlobe with a Notice of Intention to Enforce Security pursuant to subsection 244(1) of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada) (“BIA”).
Management of PetroGlobe is working with its lender to come up with a plan to repay the indebtedness under the facility, which plan may include the sale of assets or corporate restructurings.

There is a risk that the Company–s assets may not be sufficient to satisfy the demand plus the costs associated with a realization or liquidation in respect thereof.
