Mr. Gregory Vavra, President & CEO reports
CALGARY, Nov. 10, 2015 /CNW/ - Raimount Energy Inc. ("Raimount" or the "Corporation") is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Ken Mullen to its Board of Directors effective November 9, 2015. The Corporation is restricted to having four directors holding office on its Board of Directors. Mr. Greg Vavra voluntarily agreed to resign as a director in order to facilitate the appointment of Mr. Mullen to Raimount's Board of Directors. Mr. Vavra remains the President and CEO of Raimount. The Corporation intends to seek shareholder approval at its next shareholders meeting to expand the number of authorized directors on its board and intends to nominate Mr. Vavra for re-election as a director of the Corporation at that time.
Mr. Mullen is a director of several private and public oil and gas companies. He is a Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) and a member of the Law Society of Alberta. He has also holds the ICD.D designation. He is a former President, CEO and Director of Savanna Energy Services Corp., having served in those capacities since the Company's inception in 2001 through January, 2015. Mr. Mullen has also been engaged as a consultant to the Company to advise management on the matters described in more detail below. Mr. Mullen's appointment as a director is subject to the requirements of TSX Venture Exchange Policy 3.1 – Directors, Officers, Other Insiders & Personnel and Corporate Governance.
Raimount has assembled a significant land position near Woolford, Alberta that management believes is analogous to two proximate light oil focused properties that are currently being exploited by other operators in southern Alberta. Management is currently planning an exploration and development program to exploit the resource potential of the Woolford area and is assessing other accretive joint- venture and acquisition opportunities for the Company. With no debt, and cash on hand, Raimount is well positioned to consider the various opportunities available to it at this time and will pursue the options that the board of directors believe will best serve to enhance shareholder value.
