DOXA PROVIDES TRANSACTION UPDATE

April 21, 2020

TSX Venture Exchange Trading Symbol: DXA.V www.doxaenergy.com

Doxa Energy Ltd (“ Doxa ” or the “ Company ”) announces that further to its press releases dated November 7, 2018 and May 23, 2019, the Company and ProStar Geocorp Inc. (“ ProStar ”) entered into an amendment to the definitive merger agreement dated May 22, 2019 (the “ Merger Agreement ”) which, among other things, extended the date for the completion of the proposed transaction with ProStar (the “ Transaction ”) to June 30, 2020 and provided for the Company’s expenses in association with the Transaction including fees associated with the Company’s maintenance of its listing status to be borne by ProStar, to a maximum of $130,000. The amendment also provides ProStar with additional flexibilities for its financing initiatives.

As previously announced, the Transaction is intended to result in a reverse takeover of Doxa by ProStar in accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “ TSXV ”). Upon completion of the Transaction, it is anticipated that the combined venture (the “ Resulting Issuer ”) will continue to carry on the business of ProStar and will be listed on the TSXV as a Tier 2 Technology Issuer. Details of the Transaction remain unchanged from those announced in the Company’s May 23, 2019 press release, but it is expected that the terms of the proposed concurrent offerings will be amended. A subsequent press release will be issued when the terms are known.

In addition, the Company has been advised that it must obtain shareholder approval for the Transaction as a condition of receiving approval from the TSXV. The Company has yet to set a date for the meeting and will provide a further update when a timeline is set. The Company previously obtained the approval of its shareholders for certain conditions of the Transaction being:

  • (a) A consolidation of its share capital on a 17 old for one new basis (the “ Consolidation ”);

  • (b) The settlement of approximately $3.5 million in debt owed collectively to Armada Investments Ltd., (a company owned and controlled by Chairman and director, G. Arnold Armstrong) and Harvco LLC (a company owned and controlled by President and CEO, John Harvison) through the issuance of 188,013,211 pre-Consolidation DXA Shares at a price of approximately $0.0117 per pre-Consolidation shares (the “ Debt Settlement ”); and

  • (c) The disposition of the Company’s existing oil and gas assets through the sale of its U.S. subsidiary (the " Disposition ") to Dynamic Production, LLC (" Dynamic "), a company controlled by John Harvison, the President and CEO of the Company, at their fair market value. As the fair market value of the oil and gas assets is less than the outstanding balance of the debts of the subsidiary to Dynamic, the Disposition will not result in any payments to the Company.

As of the date of this press release, neither of the Consolidation, Debt Settlement nor the Disposition have been effected as its expected these events would occur closing to the proposed closing date for the Transaction and will not be completed if the Transaction does not occur.

The amendment to the Merger Agreement was executed prior to the impacts of the COVID-19 health crisis and it is currently not known to the Company how this unprecedented event will impact the
