CALGARY, Alberta, Oct. 25, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gysan Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB:GYSA) ("Gysan" or the "Corporation"), listed on the OTCQB ("OTCQB") is pleased to announce that, further to its news release of September 26, 2012, it has entered into a Definitive Agreement ("Definitive Agreement") dated October 23, 2012 to acquire Dino Energy Investments Ltd., a company formed and subsisting pursuant to the laws of the British Virgin Islands ("Dino Energy") (the "Acquisition"). The Definitive Agreement contemplates that, in exchange for all the outstanding shares of common stock of Dino Energy, Gysan shall issue to Dino Energy's shareholders an aggregate of 200,000,000 shares of common stock of Gysan. Following this transaction, the shareholders of Dino Energy will control the Gysan consolidated group.
Dino Energy is a newly-formed oil and gas company and it has recently entered into an agreement with a First Nation group in Alberta, Canada for the exploration, development and production of hydrocarbon resources on and under the First Nation's reserve lands (the "Exploration Agreement"). The rights granted to Dino Energy under the Exploration Agreement are subject to regulatory and government approval as well as a number of other conditions precedent. It is expected that Dino Energy will conduct all exploration and production activities through a wholly owned Alberta subsidiary.
The completion of the Acquisition is subject to a number of conditions precedent, including, but not limited to: (i) completion of satisfactory due diligence by each of Gysan and Dino Energy; (ii) the approval of the Acquisition by each of Gysan's and Dino Energy's respective board of directors and shareholders, if required; (iii) the absence of any material change or change in a material fact which might reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial and operational conditions or the assets of each of the parties to the Definitive Agreement; and (iv) certain other conditions typical in a transaction of this nature.
