KDKN Kodiak Energy Inc (CE)

Kodiak Energy, Inc. (TSX VENTURE: KDK) (OTCBB: KDKN) ("Kodiak" or the "Corporation"), announces that Mr. Mark Hlady will not be standing for re-election as a director at the Corporation's upcoming annual meeting of shareholders. Mr. Hlady has chosen to focus on his other business interests. Mr. Bill Tighe, Director, President and Acting Chief Executive Officer, will assume the position of Chairman upon re-election to the Board.

"Mr. Hlady's support and stewardship of Kodiak over the past years were critical and invaluable", said Mr. Bill Tighe, President and Acting Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Tighe added, "The Corporation would like to express its appreciation to Mr. Hlady for his hard work and dedication, and wish him well in his future endeavors."

The date for Kodiak's annual meeting of shareholders will be announced in the next few weeks. The Corporation is currently working towards presenting a director nominee to replace Mr. Hlady and the nominee to be disclosed in the proxy statement. Even though the Corporation's proxy information is in compliance with United States disclosure and regulatory requirements, the Corporation's listing on the Toronto Venture Exchange within this past year called for the proxy information to also be in compliance with Canadian regulatory requirements. Furthermore, Kodiak's accelerated filer status with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission required additional disclosure in the proxy. Kodiak is in process of ensuring that the proxy information satisfies both Canadian and United States disclosure requirements prior to setting a meeting date.
