Cub Energy Announces Letter Agreement for the Sale of Tysagaz

HOUSTON, July 12, 2022 - Cub Energy Inc. ("Cub" or the "Company") (TSXV:KUB) announces that it has entered into a letter agreement dated July 8, 2022 to sell its 100% interest in 3P International Energy Ltd ("3P") and its wholly-owned Ukraine subsidiary, Tysagaz LLC ("Tysagaz"). The sale is for a nominal consideration of $1 and the buyer assuming all of 3P's and Tysagaz' liabilities including the Ukraine bank debt that is guaranteed by Cub and all provisions for reclamation costs. Since the beginning of the Russian invasion and the Ukraine government's increase of the royalty rate, Tysagaz has been generating monthly losses. The Company carried out a sales process engaging multiple parties to review the assets and it received multiple offers. The board selected the offer that provided the most favorable financial terms to the Company as well as greater certainty of closing in an expedited timeline. The sale is subject to several conditions which include entering into a definitive agreement, regulatory approval and shareholder approval. The Company intends to satisfy the shareholder approval by written consent. The transaction is expected to close in the next month. The buyer group includes two officers of the Company, namely Eugene Chaban, the Company's Chief Financial Officer and Sergey Panchuk, the Company's Chief Operating Officer.

The benefits of the Company's divesture of 3P and Tysagaz include (1) elimination of the Ukraine bank debt guaranteed by Cub (2) removal of all provisions for reclamation (3) separation from contingent liabilities (4) removes the last exposure to Ukraine and (5) reduction of overhead and monthly cash burn. As a condition to close, Cub is to be fully released from all Tysagaz liabilities, including Cub's guarantee of Tysagaz' repayment of the Ukraine bank loan.

This asset divesture is in furtherance of the Company's strategy to exit Ukraine and redeploy the capital as a cash dividend or reinvest in a new opportunity.
