Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - April 20, 2021) - Raise Production Inc. (TSXV: RPC) ("Raise" or the "Company") announces the completion of its previously announced shares for debt transactions pursuant to which an aggregate of $2,334,027 in indebtedness, representing all of the principal amount and interest payable in respect of the secured convertible debentures of the Company (the "Debentures"), was settled through the issuance of 58,350,688 common shares in the capital of the Company ("Shares") to the holders of the Debentures at a deemed price of $0.04 per Share (the "Debt Settlements"). As a result of the Debt Settlements, the Debentures were terminated. The Shares are subject to a statutory hold period of four months and a day.

In its consideration and approval of the Debt Settlements, the board of directors of Raise determined that the Debt Settlement was exempt from the formal valuation requirement and minority shareholder approval requirement under MI 61-101. The Debentures are not listed or quoted on any of the markets specified in section 5.5(b) of MI 61-101, enabling the Company to rely on an exemption from the formal valuation requirement. The Company meets the "financial hardship" requirements set out in section 5.7(1)(e) of MI 61-101, enabling the Company to rely on an exemption from the minority shareholder approval requirement.
