Epsilon Energy Ltd. Announces Normal Course Issuer Bid for Common Shares and Convertible Debentures

HOUSTON, TEXAS--(Marketwired - Oct. 5, 2015) - Epsilon Energy Ltd. (TSX:EPS)(TSX:EPS.DB) ("Epsilon" or the "Corporation") announced today that it has received Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") approval to commence a normal course issuer bid through the facilities of the TSX, permitting the Corporation to repurchase, for cancellation, up to 3,140,543 of the 47,043,264 common shares issued and outstanding as at September 30, 2015 (the "common share NCIB"). This represents 10% of the total public float, being 31,405,432 common shares as at September 30, 2015. The average daily trading volume for the last six completed calendar months was 28,875 common shares. The number of common shares to be purchased in any one day will not exceed 7,218 common shares (being 25% of the average daily trading volume). The common share NCIB will commence on October 7, 2015, and run until the earlier of the date on which purchases under the normal course issuer bid have been completed and October 6, 2016.

Epsilon also announced that it has received TSX approval to commence a normal course issuer bid through the facilities of the TSX, permitting the Corporation to repurchase, for cancellation, up to $3,896,500 of the $38,965,000 aggregate principal amount of the Corporation's 7.75% convertible unsecured subordinated debentures ("convertible debentures") issued and outstanding as at September 30, 2015 (the "debenture NCIB"). This represents 10% of the total public float of convertible debentures, being $38,965,000 aggregate principal amount of convertible debentures as at September 30, 2015. The average daily trading volume for the last six completed calendar months was $12,900 aggregate principal amount. The number of convertible debentures to be purchased in any one day will not exceed $3,200 aggregate principal amount (being 25% of the average daily trading volume). The debenture NCIB will commence on October 7, 2015, and run until the earlier of the date on which purchases under the normal course issuer bid have been completed and October 6, 2016. By repurchasing convertible debentures, Epsilon will reduce interest payments, resulting in cash savings for the Corporation in the long term.

The common share NCIB and the debenture NCIB purchases are to be made through the facilities of the TSX in accordance with the rules of the TSX regarding normal course issuer bids. Purchases may also be made through alternative trading platforms. The price that Epsilon will pay for any common shares or convertible debentures will be the market price at the time of acquisition plus brokerage fees. Purchases may commence on October 7, 2015, and will terminate no later than October 6, 2016.

To the knowledge of the directors and officers of Epsilon, no director or officer, associate of a director or officer of the Corporation, no person acting jointly or in concert with the Corporation nor any person holding 10 percent or more of the common shares has any present intention to sell common shares or convertible debentures during the course of the normal course issuer bid. During the past 12 months, the Corporation purchased 2,425,300 common shares, at an average price of $3.50 per common share and $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of convertible debentures, at an average price of $98.00 per $100 aggregate principal amount of convertible debentures, pursuant to a normal course issuer bid which will expire on October 6, 2015.

Epsilon believes that the market price of the common shares does not fully reflect the value of its business and its future business prospects and represents an attractive investment opportunity. Epsilon currently has uncommitted cash available which it can use for these purchases and the Corporation is of the view that long-term value for its remaining shareholders will be enhanced.
