Pieridae Graduates to the TSX

Company Excited About the Prospects Going Forward

CALGARY, ALBERTA – June 1, 2020 - Pieridae Energy Limited (Pieridae or the Company) (TSXV: PEA) is pleased to announce that its common shares have been approved for listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") and are expected to commence trading on the TSX at the opening of the market on June 3, 2020. Concurrent with the TSX listing, the common shares of Pieridae are expected to be de-listed from the TSX Venture Exchange. Pieridae's trading symbol will remain "PEA".

“This is a big step for our Company, and we look forward to the benefits being part of the TSX provide,” said Pieridae CEO Alfred Sorensen. “The key here is that being a member of the TSX allows Pieridae to tell its story to a bigger investor audience, including the Canadian institutional investment community, which should improve liquidity in the stock.”

TMX Group Ltd., which owns the TSX, has indicated on its website that companies may derive additional benefits from listing on the TSX such as[1]:

  • increased access to capital
  • greater visibility - TSXV graduates listed on the TSX are covered by an average of five analysts
  • access to institutional capital - institutional investors have invested $15 Billion in TSXV graduates
  • enhanced liquidity on world markets - roughly 40% of TSX trading is originated by international headquartered Investment Dealers

This latest announcement comes as Pieridae continues to deliver on its goals, including the transformational South Alberta Foothills assets acquisition that closed last fall. The immediate impact of growing production, increased sales of natural gas liquids, and the growth in third-party processing revenue thanks to our midstream assets were fully evident in our solid Q4 2019 and Q1 2020 results.

And our flagship Goldboro LNG Project continues to move forward. We recently announced our main customer, Uniper Global Commodities, has agreed to extend key deadlines including making a final investment decision on the Goldboro LNG facility by June 30, 2021. In the meantime, we are taking tangible steps working with KBR to not only deliver a fixed price contract for the LNG facility, but also to design and plan core owner infrastructure projects such as the highway re-alignment; large-scale work camp; marine facilities for LNG offloading; and, facility site terracing.
