Craft Oil has planned to arrange a shareholder meeting in late February this year to secure their consent.

National Bank Financial acted as a financial advisor for Craft Oil for this transaction with Cardinal Energy.

The assets sold to Point Loma comprises last year's fourth quarter production of nearly 410boe per day and are situated in the Judy Creek and Thornbury-Portage areas of Alberta.

This deal became effective on 1 January this year and Craft Oil expects the transaction to close by 17 February.

The agreement is also subject to standard closing conditions.

Craft Oil is currently negotiating with multiple third parties to divest the remaining assets. The company also intends to distribute the proceeds secured from these successful transactions to its shareholders.
