Stetson Oil & Gas Ltd.: Redemption and Delisting of Preference Shares

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Jan 13, 2014) - Stetson Oil & Gas Ltd. (TSX-VENTURE:SSN), a Forbes & Manhattan Energy Group Company, will redeem all of the company's issued and outstanding preference shares in accordance with their terms on January 20, 2014. Stetson issued the preference shares on November 18, 2008 in connection with the company's claim against Stifel Nicolaus Canada Inc. (formerly Thomas Weisel Partners Canada Inc.) for the 2008 failed bought deal financing. The redemption follows the lapse of the entitlements of the preference shareholders to receive a portion of any litigation funds secured by Stetson prior to December 31, 2013.

The redemption price will be $0.0001 in cash per preference share, representing the amount of paid up capital of the preference shares. A notice of redemption providing additional details will be mailed to the holders of the preference shares on or about January 13, 2014.

As soon as reasonably practicable following January 20, 2014, Stetson will apply to the TSX Venture Exchange to delist the preference shares from trading.
