TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Jan. 30, 2015) - Candax Energy Inc. ("Candax" or the "Company") (TSX:CAX), a company focused on mature oil field development in Tunisia, announces today that it has come to the following agreement regarding the repayment of its Senior debt:

• Partial repayment of $500,000 in respect of Tranche A;

Notwithstanding the above detailed payment, the Company will not pay the remainder of the Tranche A and Tranche B amounts due under the Senior Facility Agreement ($3,500,000) on January 31, 2015 and will consequently be in breach as regard to its financial obligation.

A copy of the amendment and waiver letter will be filed publicly by the Company and available on SEDAR.

"The support of our lender and shareholder was key to having time to review strategic and financial alternatives available to the Company. The amendment and waiver letter obtained was an indispensable step. The Company remains with more than $6 million of cash on hand as at the end of January 2015" commented Candax CFO Pierre-Henri Boutant.
