CALGARY, ALBERTA -- (Marketwire) -- 03/15/13 -- Anterra Energy Inc. ("Anterra" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: AE.A) and Terrex Energy Inc. ("Terrex") (TSX VENTURE: TER) are pleased to announce the completion of the previously announced business combination by way of a court and securityholder approved, statutory plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement").

Effective March 14, 2013, Anterra acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares in the capital of Terrex ("Terrex Shares"), in exchange for Class A common shares in the capital of Anterra ("Anterra Shares"). Accordingly, trading in the Terrex Shares has been halted, pending delisting from the TSX Venture Exchange.

Under the terms of the Arrangement, holders of Terrex Shares have received, in exchange for each Terrex Share held, 0.307 of an Anterra Share. Anterra also announces completion of the settlement arrangements with Sandstorm Metals & Energy Ltd. and 0905896 BC Ltd. (collectively, "Sandstorm") on the terms previously disclosed. Under the Arrangement and the settlement with Sandstorm, Anterra has issued an aggregate of approximately 34 million Anterra Shares.

Pursuant to the Arrangement, Anterra has acquired Terrex's 100% working interest development properties at Two Creek and Strathmore, Alberta, comprised of approximately 8,200 acres of land and related infrastructure, with average February 2013 production of approximately 165 boe per day. When combined with Anterra's core assets in the Cardium light oil resource play and the Breton Belly River exploitation project in the Pembina area of central Alberta and the Bakken light oil play in Abbott, Saskatchewan, the combined company has a lower risk "oily" development drilling inventory. In addition, the combined company intends to look for opportunities to acquire stable, low decline assets with attractive netbacks.
