Viking Investments Group, Inc. Executes Agreement With Cytron Capital Group Inc. Concerning Real Estate Project in Comox, British Columbia


NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Feb 4, 2015) - On January 14th, 2015, Viking Investments Group, Inc. ("Viking") (OTCQB: VKIN) announced the execution of a Letter of Intent with Cytron Capital Group Inc. ("Cytron") wherein the parties outlined the essential elements of a joint venture concerning the acquisition, development and/or management of various projects in the Real Estate and Energy sectors (the "LOI"). On February 3rd, 2014 Viking announced the execution of a Share Purchase Agreement with Cytron regarding one of the real estate ventures contemplated in the LOI.

Viking is now pleased to report it executed a Share Purchase Agreement ("SPA") on February 3rd, 2015 with Cytron regarding the second real estate venture contemplated in the LOI.

Pursuant to the SPA, Viking has agreed to purchase 50% of the issued and outstanding shares of a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cytron ("Realco"), subject to certain conditions being satisfied, including Realco being the legal and beneficial owner of the particular lands in question (the "Property") which are located near Comox, British Columbia. In that regard, Realco has entered into an agreement to purchase the Property for CDN$30M (the "APS"). The APS is conditional upon Realco performing and being satisfied with additional due diligence concerning the Property and viability of the proposed development. This condition is to be satisfied on or before February 11th, 2015 and the transaction is scheduled to close on March 13th, 2015.

Comox (www.comox.ca) is a town located on the southern coast of the Comox Peninsula in the Georgia Strait on the eastern coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia. The area has become a popular tourist attraction due to its good fishing, local wildlife, year-round golf and proximity to the Mount Washington ski area, the Forbidden Plateau, and Strathcona Provincial Park. The town is also home to Canadian air force base CFB Comox, an international airport (www.comoxairport.com) and the HMCS Quadra Sea Cadet training facility. The nearby Comox Glacier is visible from many parts of the town and is the area's signature landmark. Comox is well served by a modern new highway south to Nanaimo and Victoria, and north to Campbell River. The older Island Highway serves the logging, mining and fishing communities north of Campbell River. There is a ferry to Powell River on the Canadian Mainland, and Comox Valley Airport which has several scheduled flights daily to the City of Vancouver and island destinations. The mild climate has attracted many retirees to the area, resulting in a high rate of growth, an increase in the median age of residents, and a sharp appreciation in property values.

Cytron, through Realco, intends to develop and sell approximately 741 residential building lots at the Property as part of its phased development plan over the next seven years. Initial plans also contemplate a community center and generous green space. Cytron estimates the servicing and infrastructure costs for the residential component of the project to be approximately CDN $15M.

The SPA is conditional upon, among other things, Viking obtaining financing to facilitate the acquisition and development of the Property, on terms satisfactory to Viking. On closing of the transactions contemplated in the SPA, Viking has agreed to issue to Cytron 1,000,000 common shares in the capital stock of Viking plus 1,000,000 warrants entitling Cytron to purchase an additional 1,000,000 common shares of Viking at a price equal to $2.50 per share, expiring March 16, 2017.
