ROAD TOWN, BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS--(Marketwired - July 22, 2014) -

THIS RELEASE IS INTENDED FOR DISTRIBUTION OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES ONLY AND IS NOT AUTHORIZED FOR DISTRIBUTION WITHIN THE UNITED STATES

Petro-Victory Energy Corp. ("Petro-Victory" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has completed its initial public offering. The Company's common shares are conditionally approved for listing on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "VRY" and are expected to commence trading on, or about, July 24, 2014.

Petro-Victory completed its initial public offering of units ("Units") at a price of CDN$0.40 per Unit (the "Offering Price") for gross proceeds of CDN$25,000,000 (the "Offering"). Each Unit comprising the Offering consists of one Class A common share in the capital of Petro-Victory (a "Common Share") and one-half of one warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share at a price of CDN$0.50 per Warrant Share for a period of two years from the closing of the Offering.

Proceeds of the Offering are expected to be used for: (a) the drilling of two wells in Paraguay, the first of which is underway; (b) the repayment of all, or a portion, of approximately a CDN$5,400,000 debenture (if not converted); (c) approximately CDN$600,000 in outstanding short term notes; (d) general and administrative costs; (e) Offering expenses; and (f) unallocated working capital.

Canaccord Genuity Corp. (the "Lead Agent"), on behalf of itself and GMP Securities L.P. and CIBC (together with the Lead Agent, the "Agents") acted as the Company's agents in connection with the Offering. The Agents received a commission equal to 6.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the Offering. The Company has granted to the Agents an option (the "Over-Allotment Option"), exercisable at the Agents' discretion at any time, in whole or in part, until 30 days following closing of the Offering, to purchase, at the Offering Price, up to an additional 15 percent of the Units issued pursuant to the Offering to cover over-allotments, if any, and for market stabilization purposes.

In connection with the Offering, the Company acquired 100% of the membership interests in Petro-Victory LLC (the "Reorganization"). In connection with the Reorganization, the Company issued a total of 78,265,000 Common Shares and 50,535,000 Restricted Voting Shares (128,800,000 counting both the Common Shares and the Restricted Voting Shares).

The Restricted Voting Shares are being issued to certain former holders of Petro-Victory LLC membership units that are residents of the United States so that, upon completion of the Offering, less than 50 percent of the Company's Common Shares were directly or indirectly held of record by residents of the United States and the Company therefore, qualifies as a Foreign Private Issuer in the United States. The Restricted Voting Shares are convertible on a 1:1 ratio into Common Shares, at the holder's option.

As a result of the Reorganization of Petro-Victory LLC, Harvison Capital Management, LLC acquired 30,479,857 Common Shares and 27,511,254 Restricted Voting Shares of the Company in exchange for the Petro-Victory LLC membership units.

As a result of the Reorganization of Petro-Victory LLC, Richard F. Gonzalez, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, acquired 25,509,588 Common Shares and 23,023,746 Restricted Voting Shares of the Company in exchange for his Petro-Victory LLC membership units. Mr. Gonzalez was also granted options to acquire 5,052,056 Common Shares at a price of $0.40 per Common Share.

Mr. Gonzalez also holds options to acquire 5,052,056 Common Shares at a price of $0.40 per Common Share.

The Common Shares and Restricted Shares were acquired for investment purposes and the holders may increase or decrease their beneficial ownership or control depending on market or other conditions.

The Company has also issued 31,200,000 Common Shares in connection with two Purchase and Sale Agreements with respect to the acquisition of certain assets in Brazil (the "Brazil Acquisition") and the certain assets in Guyana (the "Guyana Acquisition"). All of such Common Shares are held in escrow, pending the successful completion of the each of the Brazil Acquisition and the Guyana Acquisition.

In connection with the closing of the Offering and the Reorganization the Company has also granted 11,913,294 stock options to directors and officers of the Corporation. The options were granted at an exercise price of CDN$0.40 per Common Share and, subject to the terms of the Option Plan, will expire ten years from the date of grant.
