Passport Energy Ltd. Announces Closing of Subscription Receipt Financing

Calgary, Alberta, June 06, 2014 /FSC/ - Passport Energy Ltd. (TSX-V: PPO), ("Passport") is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced subscription receipt private placement offering (the "Private Placement"). Passport has issued 53,229,109 subscription receipts ("Subscription Receipts") at a price of $0.18 per Subscription Receipt for gross proceeds of approximately $9,581,240. The gross proceeds are currently being held in escrow by Olympia Trust Company ("Escrow Agent") as escrow agent, pending satisfaction of certain closing conditions (the "Escrow Release Conditions") set forth in a subscription receipt agreement dated June 5, 2014 among Passport, Amarok Energy Inc. ("Amarok"), Integral Wealth Securities Limited ("Integral") and the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Release Conditions include, among other things, that the requisite shareholders approvals of both Passport and Amarok (the "Shareholders Approvals") as set out in the amended and restated arrangement agreement dated May 14, 2014 among Passport, Amarok and 1815766 Alberta Inc. in respect of the proposed plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") be obtained. Assuming that all the Escrow Release Conditions are met, the Private Placement, along with the previously announced  subscription of $13,000,000 of common shares by 32 Degrees Diversified Energy Fund II (Canadian) LP and 32 Degrees Diversified Energy Fund II (US) LP (the "32 Degrees Subscriptions") will result in aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $22,579,440 to Passport. The 32 Degrees Subscriptions are subject to a number of conditions, including, among other things, that the Shareholders Approvals are obtained.

Upon satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions, each Subscription Receipt will be exchanged for one common share in the capital of Passport (the "Passport Shares") after the Passport Shares have been consolidated on a six (6) to one (1) basis. In the event the Escrow Release Conditions are not satisfied on or before June 30, 2014, holders of Subscription Receipts will be entitled to a return of the subscription price plus interest earned on the investment of the Subscription Receipt proceeds. The Subscription Receipts are subject to a hold period expiring four months and one day from the date of issue.

Integral Wealth Securities Limited ("Integral") acted as the exclusive agent of Passport to solicit subscriptions and earned a commission equal to 6% of the gross proceeds of the Private Placement (except for subscriptions from certain subscribers identified by Passport and approved by Integral, to a maximum of $1,000,000 in subscriptions), which will only be paid to Integral upon satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions.

Proceeds from the Private Placement and the 32 Degrees Subscriptions will be used for general corporate purposes of Powder Mountain Energy Ltd., the resulting issuer upon the completion of the Arrangement.
