PTP Petrichor Energy Inc

Petrichor Energy Inc. (TSX VENTURE: PTP)(FRANKFURT: YQN) ("Petrichor" or the "Company") - At the Annual and Special General Meeting of the Company held on October 15, 2010, shareholders approved by special resolution a plan of reorganization (the "Plan") of the Company's Mississippi subsidiary, Odyssey Petroleum Corp. (U.S.) ("the Debtor") under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Further to the Company's September 17, 2010 News Release and as disclosed in the Company's February 10, 2011 News Release, Iroquois Capital Opportunity Fund ("IOC") retracted its offer to acquire the shares of the Debtor and ODE's lock up agreement with IOC expired in January 2011, allowing the Company to solicit other offers.

On May 24, 2011, the US Bankruptcy Court in Mississippi accepted a "stalking horse bid" from an unrelated party who had offered to purchase certain assets of the Debtor for US$9,600,000 and certain Mississippi assets owned by the parent company, Petrichor, for US$1,900,000.

The court ordered that a public auction would be held for the Debtor's assets, with the stalking horse bid of US$9,600,000 setting the minimum bid price. Two qualified unrelated bidders were approved by the court, including a designate of IOC.

On June 10, 2011 the auction resulted in a final bid to purchase the Debtor's assets, subject to certain conditions, for US$12,000,000, which was accepted by the court.

The sale of the Debtor's assets has now closed into escrow, with the proceeds to be administered under the direction of the Bankruptcy Court. The proceeds of the sale will be utilized to fully pay creditors of the Debtor in the near future, with all remaining funds to be returned to Petrichor once the plan has been completed.

The Debtor continues to operate under Chapter 11 creditor protection while the plan to distribute payments to the creditors continues.

The purchaser is also acquiring certain of Petrichor's assets for US$1,900,000. The Company will retain an approximate 20% working interest in the Verba, Mississippi oil and gas field, a 100% working interest in the Barber Creek, Mississippi oil and gas field, and a 100% interest in the post Chapter 11 Odyssey US.

The Chapter 11 proceedings are currently expected to conclude within the next three months.
