CEQUENCE ENERGY LTD. ANNOUNCES PRIVATE PLACEMENT OF FLOW THROUGH UNITS

CALGARY, Nov. 2 /CNW/ - Cequence Energy Ltd. ("Cequence" or the "Company") (TSX: "CQE") is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with a third party investor pursuant to which the Company will issue an aggregate of 2.25 million units to the investor at a price of $2.00 per unit for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $4.5 million. The proceeds of this issue will allow Cequence greater financial flexibility in planning its upcoming winter capital program pursuant to which the Company plans to delineate the potential of its recent Wilrich and Cardium drilling successes in the Simonette and Garrington areas of Alberta. Each unit will be comprised of: (i) one common share (a "CDE Flow Through Share") to be issued on a flow through basis; (ii) one common share purchase warrant expiring in 2011 (a "2011 Warrant") to be issued on a flow through basis; and (iii) one common share purchase warrant expiring in 2012 (a "2012 Warrant") to be issued on a flow through basis.

The CDE Flow Through Shares will entitle the purchaser thereof to renunciations from Cequence of Canadian development expenses in an amount equal to the subscription price of such share.

Each 2011 Warrant will entitle the subscriber to acquire one common share at any time on or after August 1, 2011 and prior to 11:59 p.m. on August 15, 2011 (the "Expiry Time") upon payment of the exercise price thereof. Each Cequence common share acquired upon exercise of a 2011 Warrant will entitle the investor to renunciations of Canadian development expenses in an amount equal to the subscription price of such share. The exercise price of the 2011 Warrants will be a 10% premium to the 10 day volume weighted average trading price of the Cequence common shares on the TSX for the period July 18, 2011 to July 29, 2011, inclusive. To provide the Company assurance that the investor will exercise the 2011 Warrants, the investor has agreed to place an aggregate of 1.5 million common shares into escrow which shares shall be forfeited to Cequence for cancellation if all of the 2011 Warrants are not exercised in accordance with their terms.

The 2012 Warrants will vest and become exercisable only if the 2011 Warrants are exercised in accordance with their terms, failing which the 2012 Warrants will become null and void. If all of the 2011 Warrants are exercised prior to the Expiry Time, each 2012 Warrant will entitle the investor to acquire one common share at any time on or after August 1, 2012 and prior to 11:59 p.m. on August 15, 2012 upon payment of the exercise price thereof. Each Cequence common share acquired upon exercise of a 2012 Warrant will entitle the investor to renunciations of Canadian development expenses in an amount equal to the subscription price of such share. The exercise price of the 2012 Warrants shall be a 10% premium to the 10 day volume weighted average trading price of the Cequence common shares on the TSX for the period July 18, 2012 to July 31, 2012, inclusive.

Cequence intends to use the proceeds of the private placement to incur eligible Canadian development expenses.

The closing of the private placement is subject to the receipt of the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange.
