CALGARY, Aug. 14, 2019 /CNW/ - (TSX: EGL):  Eagle Energy Inc. ("Eagle") announces that it has submitted an application (the "Listing Application") to the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSX-V") to list its common shares (the "Common Shares") on the TSX-V.  In conjunction with this application, Eagle has submitted an application to the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") for voluntary delisting (the "Voluntary Delisting Application") of the Common Shares from the TSX pursuant to Part VII, Section 720 of the TSX Company Manual (the "Manual").  The Listing Application is subject to TSX-V approval and the Voluntary Delisting Application is subject to TSX approval.

Eagle received a letter from the TSX on July 9, 2019 that the TSX had commenced a review of Eagle's eligibility for continued listing on the TSX of its securities, pursuant to Part VII of the Manual.  In response to the aforementioned letter from the TSX, the board of directors of Eagle have:  (i) reviewed the TSX eligibility for listing requirements as outlined in the Manual in relation to Eagle's recent share price and trading activity on the TSX, as well as its current operational and financial activities; (ii) considered Eagle's alternatives; and (iii) authorized management to prepare a Listing Application to the TSX-V, which Eagle submitted on August 14, 2019.

The Voluntary Delisting Application is being made in conjunction with and is subject to Eagle receiving approval from the TSX-V of its Listing Application, confirming that Eagle meets the TSX-V eligibility for listing criteria.  There is no guarantee the TSX-V will approve Eagle's Listing Application.  If Eagle's Listing Application is approved by the TSX-V, it is Eagle's intention to take all reasonable and prudent steps as required and, with the assistance from and cooperation with the TSX and TSX-V, to list Eagle's Common Shares on the TSX-V without interruption or delay.  As a result, Eagle is unable to provide delisting/listing dates at this time, but will provide updates once further information is available.

Securityholder approvals of the Listing Application and Voluntary Delisting Application are not required.
