(“Zargon” or the “Corporation”) announces that it has completed certain transactions contemplated by a Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada) proposal (the “Proposal”) filed by Zargon, Zargon Oil & Gas Partnership (“Zargon Partnership”) and Zargon U.S. Holdings Ltd.

The Proposal was approved by the Creditors on December 4, 2020. The Court issued an order approving the Proposal and the Reorganization on January 6, 2021.
