CUSIP# 678046 10 3 NYSE Amex: BQI CALGARY, May 11, 2012 /CNW/ -
Oilsands Quest Inc. ("Oilsands Quest" or "the Company") has
requested and obtained an extension of the order from the Alberta
Court of Queen's Bench (the "Court") providing creditor protection
under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada) ("CCAA"),
which was to expire May 18, 2012. Creditor protection under the
CCAA will now expire on June 29, 2012, unless further extended as
required and approved by the Court. As previously announced,
Oilsands Quest is conducting a process to solicit offers to
acquire, restructure or recapitalize the Company (the "Solicitation
Process"), with the assistance TD Securities Inc. While various
proposals were received from potential investors, none of these
proposals are currently in a form that the Company believes would
result in a sale or investment that would be in the best interests
of Oilsands Quest or its stakeholders. Negotiations are continuing
to determine whether certain of the proposals could be amended to
form the basis of an acceptable transaction to be brought before
stakeholders and the Court for approval. There can be no assurance
that the Solicitation Process will result in a financing or a sale
of the Company or in any other transaction. Trading in the common
shares of Oilsands Quest remains suspended while the NYSE Amex
determines whether to resume trading or to delist the Company for
failure to meet listing requirements. About Oilsands Quest Oilsands
Quest Inc. (www.oilsandsquest.com) is exploring and developing oil
sands permits and licences, located in Saskatchewan and Alberta,
and developing Saskatchewan's first commercial oil sands discovery.
