CALGARY, May 4 /CNW/ - Iteration Energy Ltd. ("Iteration") (TSX-ITX) is pleased to provide an update to the joint press release of Iteration and Storm Ventures International Inc. ("SVI") dated May 3, 2010, whereby they announced that they have entered into a definitive arrangement agreement (the "Arrangement Agreement") pursuant to which Iteration and SVI have agreed to complete a strategic business combination pursuant to a statutory plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement"). The combination will create a new, growth oriented company named Chinook Energy Inc. ("Chinook") with current production in excess of 20,000 boe/d and a deep inventory of repeatable drilling opportunities in both Western Canada and Tunisia. It is a condition under the Arrangement Agreement that the Toronto Stock Exchange shall have approved, subject only to customary conditions, the listing of the outstanding SVI shares and the SVI shares issuable pursuant to the Arrangement, such that Chinook shall be a public company.

Under the terms of the Arrangement, Iteration shareholders may elect to receive:

    
    (a) $1.83 cash for each Iteration share held, subject to a minimum
        aggregate cash payment of $50 million and a maximum aggregate cash
        payment of $225 million, or

    (b) 0.5631 of a common share of SVI for each Iteration share held,
        subject to pro ration, if required, based on cash elections described
        above; or

    (c) any combination of the foregoing, subject to the cash restrictions
        set out above.
    

If the maximum cash is elected, Iteration shareholders will receive approximately $1.05 of cash and 0.2400 of a common share of SVI for each Iteration share held. If the minimum cash is elected, Iteration shareholders will receive approximately $0.23 of cash and 0.4923 of a SVI share for each Iteration share held. The Arrangement contemplates a $3.25 per share value for SVI.

The Arrangement is subject to customary stock exchange, court and regulatory approvals and the requisite approval of the securityholders of Iteration. Iteration expects that the information circular for the Iteration securityholder meeting is expected to be mailed to Iteration securityholders on or about May 31, 2010 and it is anticipated that the special meeting of Iteration's securityholders will be held on or about June 28, 2010 with closing of the Arrangement to occur shortly thereafter.
