("Tanglewood"), a privately-held Alberta corporation based in Calgary with assets located in Toole County, Montana, announced today that they have entered into a definitive agreement dated November 10, 2011 (the "Pre-Acquisition Agreement") whereby Charlotte, or a wholly-owned subsidiary of Charlotte, will upon the satisfaction of certain conditions make an offer to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Tanglewood. In addition, Charlotte announced today that it is proceeding with a brokered private placement offering of subscription receipts at a price of $0.35 per receipt for gross proceeds of not less than $11.5 million.

Overview of the acquisition

Under the Pre-Acquisition Agreement, each outstanding common share of Tanglewood will be exchanged for one common share of Charlotte pursuant to an exempt take-over bid. The offer to purchase the Tanglewood shares will be made by Charlotte upon the satisfaction of certain conditions by Tanglewood, including receipt of all necessary approvals and consents from all applicable regulatory authorities including the Canadian National Stock Exchange ("CNSX") if required, receipt of lock-up agreements from certain Tanglewood shareholders representing in the aggregate of 66.67% of the outstanding Tanglewood shares and the absence of a material adverse change in respect of Tanglewood. At the date hereof Charlotte is in receipt of lock-up agreements representing 76.7% of the outstanding Tanglewood shares.

Pursuant to the Pre-Acquisition Agreement, Charlotte shall not be required to take up, purchase or pay for any Tanglewood shares unless certain conditions are satisfied, including the tender of at least 90% of the outstanding Tanglewood shares pursuant to the offer, receipt of approval of the transaction from holders of Charlotte shares representing a minimum of 50% of the issued and outstanding Charlotte shares and the CNSX.

It is expected that Charlotte will issue up to 60.0 million Charlotte shares to complete the acquisition of Tanglewood. Upon completion of the acquisition and related financing described herein, it is anticipated that Tanglewood shareholders will own approximately 49.4% of the combined entity.

Pursuant to the Pre-Acquisition Agreement, the parties agree that 5% of Charlotte shares issuable to the holders of Tanglewood shares on completion of the acquisition will be freely trading and the balance will be subject to certain prohibitions on resale which will expire as follows:

• 45% of such Charlotte shares will be released of such prohibitions in equal instalments on the 6, 12 and 15 month anniversaries of the completion of the acquisition; and
  
  
• 50% of such Charlotte shares will be released of such prohibitions in equal instalments on the 18 and 24 month anniversaries of the completion of the acquisition.
  
  

In addition, the Pre-Acquisition Agreement provides that: (i) Charlotte will assume all the outstanding Tanglewood options which will continue to be exercisable at an exercise price per share equal to the greater of (A) $0.20 per share and (B) the exercise price per share in respect of such Tanglewood options pursuant to the particular Tanglewood option agreement; (ii) all outstanding Charlotte options will either be exercised or terminated prior to the closing of the acquisition; and (iii) the terms of Charlotte's outstanding warrants will be amended effective upon closing of the acquisition to: (A) increase the exercise price of such warrants from $0.10 to $0.35 per share; (B) extend the term of such warrants to the date that is two years from the date the acquisition is completed; and ( C ) provide for the acceleration of the expiry date of such warrants if, during the period commencing on the date that is four months following the date the acquisition is completed and ending on the expiry date of such warrants, the daily volume weighted average trading price of the common shares underlying such warrants exceeds $0.50 each day for a period of 22 consecutive trading days. In such case, the holders of such warrants will be provided written notice within 30 days of such occurrence, and shall have 30 days from the date of such notice in order to exercise the warrants, failing which such warrants will expire.

The parties expect to complete the acquisition as soon as practicable subject to the receipt of all necessary regulatory, securityholder and other approvals and satisfaction of all other customary closing conditions, including the completion by Charlotte of the financing described in further detail below.

Overview of the Charlotte Financing

Charlotte has engaged Canaccord Genuity Corp. as agent for the offering to complete a brokered private placement offering, on a reasonable commercial efforts basis, of subscription receipts at a price of $0.35 per receipt for gross proceeds of not less than $11.5 million, subject to the requirements of the CNSX. Each subscription receipt will entitle the holder to receive one unit of Charlotte without additional payment or further action by the holder upon confirmation that the acquisition has been closed. Each unit will be comprised of one Charlotte share and one half common share purchase warrant of Charlotte, with each whole warrant entitling the holder thereof to one Charlotte share at an exercise price of $0.50 per share for a period of 24 months following the date the warrants are issued. The gross proceeds of the offering will be held in escrow pending completion of the Tanglewood acquisition. If the Tanglewood acquisition is terminated or does not close before March 31, 2012, the gross proceeds raised from the offering, plus interest earned thereon, will, on the earliest to occur of such events, be returned to the holders of the subscription receipts.

Further, if the Tanglewood acquisition does not close before December 31, 2011, each holder of subscription receipts will be entitled to an additional 0.1 of a Charlotte share on closing for every subscription receipt held. Further, if the Tanglewood acquisition does not close before February 29, 2012, each holder of subscription receipts will be entitled to an additional 0.05 of a Charlotte share on closing for every subscription receipt held.
