Pacific Rubiales Energy Delists From Brazil’s BOVESPA Exchange

Pacific Rubiales Energy Corp. (TSX: PRE) (BVC: PREC) announced last week that it has received approval from the Brazilian Securities Commission and the Brazilian Stock Exchange (BM&FBOVESPA – Bolsa de Valores, Mercadorias e Futuros), effective immediately, for the cancellation of the Company’s (i) Brazilian Depositary Receipts listed on the BOVESPA under the ticker “PREB32” and registered under ISIN “BRPREBBDR001” (“BDRs”), each representing one common share of the Company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“Common Shares”); and, consequently, (ii) registry as a foreign publicly-held company in Brazil (“Delisting”), all as previously announced by the Company in a press release dated October 10, 2014.

The Company’s decision to delist is based on low trading volumes of its BDRs on the BOVESPA compared to its Common Shares. As a result, the Company has determined that sustaining the administrative and regulatory compliance costs associated with the listing on the BOVESPA are no longer justifiable.
