[{"type":"text","content":"New Stratus Energy Provides Update on FinancingCalgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - April 28, 2025) - New Stratus Energy Inc. (TSXV: NSE) (\"New Stratus\", \"NSE\" or the \"Corporation\") announces that it will be deferring the closing of its previously announced subscription receipts financing until at least May 24, 2025. On this date, President Noboa and the new Government of Ecuador will be officially sworn in to govern the Republic of Ecuador for a new four-year term. This also provides equity subscribers with as small of an escrow period on funds as possible.As previously announced on March 3, 2025, the Corporation had reached an agreement for an award, as part of a consortium (the \"Consortium\"), for the production sharing contract (the \"PSC\") for crude oil production and additional exploration relating to Block 60 in Ecuador, also known as the \"Sacha Block\".During this recent period, both official and unofficial sources have released conflicting information regarding the progress and continuity of the process, which is expected to be clarified by the Ministry of Energy and Mines of Ecuador (\"MEM\") once the new government term begins on May 24. The official awarding period concluded on April 25, 2025, and we expect that a good faith dialogue period will follow to clarify any misunderstandings that may exist in this regard.The Corporation wishes to thank all stakeholders, including its equity and debt partners, for their support of NSE and the Consortium. The Consortium, on one hand, will seek to obtain further clarity regarding the award of the PSC, and on the other, reaffirm its interest in supporting the Government of Ecuador in the development of this project.Contact InformationJose Francisco ArataChairman & Chief Executive [email protected] FeleskyPresident & [email protected] MirandaChief Financial [email protected] - (647) 498-9109Forward-Looking InformationCertain information set forth in this news release constitutes \"forward-looking statements\", and \"forward-looking information\" under applicable securities legislation (collectively, \"forward-looking statements\").
