Argent Energy Trust Provides Credit Facility Update

CALGARY, Nov. 30, 2015 /CNW/ - Argent Energy Trust ("Argent" or the "Trust") (TSX: AET.UN) today announced that Argent's banking syndicate has completed their semi-annual review of Argent's credit facility and has elected to reduce the facility's conforming borrowing base from US$80 million to US$45 million as a result of current commodity prices. Argent is currently US$65 million drawn on the facility, with a $1.3 million letter of credit outstanding also, and under the Credit Agreement there is a 60-day cure period in which to cover the difference to the new conforming borrowing base. Argent is working with the banking syndicate to review options to address the difference and is also actively exploring alternative financing options.

Argent further continues to advance and explore all alternatives to provide the necessary liquidity and capital to the Trust based on the current commodity pricing environment.
