HOUSTON, TX -- (Marketwired) -- 12/05/17 -- Further to the press release dated October 26, 2017, Petrolia Energy Corporation(OTCQB: BBLS) ("Petrolia" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has executed a Definitive Binding Arrangement Agreement (the "Agreement") with Bow Energy Ltd. ("Bow") (TSX VENTURE: ONG). Bow Energy Ltd. is a Canadian based oil and natural gas company trading on the TSX Venture Exchange holding over 948,000 net acres onshore North Sumatra, Indonesia which is one of the world's most prolific oil and gas basins. Bow's acreage consists of interests in five production-sharing contracts (PSCs) and one Joint Study Agreement (JSA) with the Indonesian government. The assets are close to existing infrastructure and the city of Medan which is the largest city in North Sumatra.

The Agreement sets out the terms and conditions pursuant to which Petrolia will acquire through an all-stock transaction the entire issued and outstanding common shares of Bow. Bow will distribute the common shares of Petrolia it receives to Bow shareholders on the basis of 1.15 Petrolia shares for each common share held in Bow. Bow warrant holders will be entitled to receive, upon exchange of their securities, the equivalent number of Petrolia warrants. Following the completion of the Arrangement, Bow will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Petrolia.

James Burns, President of Petrolia, commented:

"We are delighted to have concluded this agreement with Bow which has a portfolio of high quality strategically located natural gas projects in North Sumatra. We believe the value of Bow's projects has not been fully recognized by the TSX-V market and is a significant growth opportunity for Petrolia."

The Arrangement will be implemented by way of a Plan of Arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) and is subject to a number of potential conditions.
