RB Energy Provides Update on TSX Listing Review

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired - Sept. 16, 2014) - RB Energy Inc. (the "Company" or "RBI") (TSX:RBI) (OTCQX:RBEIF) is pleased to provide an update regarding its proposed private placement of a minimum of C$78 million and a maximum of C$88 million in secured convertible debentures (the "Offering").

In the Company's September 15, 2014 press release announcing the Offering, the Company disclosed that it had applied to the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") for, and expected to receive, an exemption (the "Exemption") from the requirement to seek shareholder approval for the Offering on the basis that the Company finds itself in a state of financial hardship and that the Offering is designed to address these financial difficulties in a timely manner.

As disclosed in the September 15, 2014 press release, when the Exemption is relied on, the TSX automatically initiates a review of the Company to ensure that it is in compliance with all of the TSX continued listing requirements. The TSX announced such a review of the Company today. The review will be based on the Company's financial condition which RBI believes will be addressed upon the closing of the Offering. Assuming the Offering closes as anticipated, the Company expects to successfully address the requirements of the TSX's listing review well within the 120 day timeline required by regulation.
