The Catalyst Capital Group Inc. Receives International Turnaround of the Year Award from The Turnaround Management Association for Pacific E&P Restructuring

The Catalyst Capital Group Inc. (“Catalyst”) is pleased to announce that it has received the International Turnaround of the Year Award from The Turnaround Management Association (“TMA”) for its role in the restructuring of Pacific Exploration & Production Corp (“Pacific E&P”), the company now known as Frontera Energy Corporation (TSX: FEC) (“Frontera”). The award will be presented to Catalyst and other members of the restructuring team during the 2017 TMA Annual in Fort Worth, Texas, which runs October 23-25, 2017.

“We thank The Turnaround Management Association for recognizing the entire advisory team involved in the transformational restructuring of Pacific E&P, which is now named Frontera Energy Corporation,” said Gabriel de Alba, Managing Director and Partner of Catalyst. “The new strategy, capital discipline and strong balance sheet made possible by the restructuring has enabled Frontera to position itself as a disciplined, low cost, exploration and production company dedicated to sustainable production, growth and the creation of shareholder value. Frontera is also working very hard to maximize the value of its infrastructure assets. In addition to benefiting the company’s shareholders, the successful restructuring of the company has created new employment opportunities and has supported the local service providers and communities who benefit from the company’s business activities.”
