Pieridae Energy Limited (“Pieridae”, “PEL”, or the “Company”) (TSX:
PEA) announces that Mr. Alfred Sorensen, Chief Executive Officer of
the Company, has indicated to the Company’s Board of Directors
(“Board”) that he will be retiring from his roles as Chief
Executive Officer and Director shortly.
Mr. Sorensen has been instrumental in leading
the operations of Pieridae for over a decade. With the completion
of the Company’s refinancing, which was a key step in Pieridae’s
previously announced strategy to improve financial flexibility and
reduce leverage, as well as the Company’s transition away from its
LNG project and renewed focus on its upstream and midstream assets
in the Canadian Foothills, Mr. Sorensen has informed the Board that
this is a logical time to transition the leadership of the
Company.
“I am very pleased that the Company was able to
successfully complete the recent refinancing, which puts Pieridae
in a much-strengthened financial position. I am excited to see what
the future holds for Pieridae,” Mr. Sorensen stated.
Patricia McLeod, Chair of the Board of Directors
of Pieridae, added “Alfred has done a remarkable job of guiding
Pieridae throughout its history and has overseen its growth and
transformation from an LNG-focused company to an exploration and
production company. We wish him well in his future endeavors.”
The Board and Mr. Sorensen have committed to
facilitating an orderly transition. The Board confirms its full
confidence in the ongoing leadership of Mr. Darcy Reding, President
and Chief Operating Officer and Mr. Adam Gray, Chief Financial
Officer, along with the balance of the senior leadership team to
continue managing the full scope of Pieridae operations during the
transition.
Mr. Sorensen’s departure date will be
communicated as soon as it is finalized.
