CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - May 7, 2014) -

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

PRD Energy Inc. ("PRD" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:PRD) is pleased to announce a $20,000,700 bought deal private placement (the "Brokered Private Placement").

PRD has entered into an agreement with a syndicate of underwriters, co-led by Macquarie Capital Markets Canada Ltd. and TD Securities Inc. and including Haywood Securities Inc. and KES 7 Capital Inc. (collectively the "Underwriters"), pursuant to which the Underwriters have agreed to purchase for resale to the public, on a bought deal private placement basis, 22,223,000 common shares of PRD at a price of $0.90 per common share (the "Offering Price"), for aggregate gross proceeds of $20,000,700. The Company has also granted the Underwriters an option, exercisable in whole or in part, up to two (2) business days prior to closing of the Brokered Private Placement, to purchase up to an additional 3,333,450 common shares at the Offering Price (the "Underwriters' Option"), which if exercised in full, would increase the gross proceeds by $3,000,105.

Concurrently with the Brokered Private Placement, the Company intends to conduct a non-brokered private placement of up to 1,666,666 common shares at the Offering Price for gross proceeds of up to $1,500,000 (the "Non-Brokered Private Placement" and together with the Brokered Private Placement, the "Offering") to, among others, certain members of the Board of Directors, management and employees of PRD. The Offering is expected to close on or around May 22, 2014.

Net proceeds from the Offering will be used to further develop PRD's assets in Germany. The Company plans to drill three additional wells at Boerger during 2014, has commenced the permitting process for a 90 sq. km 3D seismic shoot over its Sittensen and Volkensen concessions and is planning for an expanded drilling and development program in 2015. The Company believes that with the completion of the Offering it is well positioned to advance its 2,413,300 acres of land in Germany into high impact drilling locations. All of the Company's oil and gas assets are in Germany and it is confident that the application of modern conventional technology, combined with operational improvements will unlock the country's oil & gas potential.

This Offering is subject to certain conditions including regulatory approvals and specifically, the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"). The common shares will be offered by way of private placement in each of the provinces of Canada, and such other jurisdictions as may be agreed to between PRD and the Underwriters. The common shares issued in connection with the Offering will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months plus one day from the date of completion of the Offering, in accordance with applicable securities legislation.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of any offer to buy the common shares in the United States. The common shares have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of such Act.
