THIS NEWS RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISSEMINATION OR DISTRIBUTION IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR UNITED STATES PERSONS
CALGARY, Alberta, June 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Questerre Energy Corporation (“Questerre” or the “Company”) announced today that the Company's Series 2 Preferred Shares (the "Preferred Shares") have been admitted to trading on Euronext Growth Oslo under the ticker “QGAS”. The Preferred Shares commence trading today. There are approximately 45.2 million Preferred Shares outstanding following the 10:1 consolidation approved by shareholders on June 23, 2026.
The Preferred Shares track the economic performance and value of the Company's Quebec assets, including its significant natural gas discovery in the Quebec Utica shale, among the largest undeveloped natural gas resources in North America in a premium natural gas market.
Michael Binnion, President and Chief Executive Officer of Questerre, commented, “Today's listing gives investors direct, tradeable exposure to our Québec discovery for the first time. Until now, this asset was part of our portfolio of assets. QGAS changes that. This reorganization marks an important step in recognizing the underlying value of our Quebec business. The new structure enables greater transparency and a more market-based valuation of this opportunity.”
He added, “Our Quebec business is based on a substantial natural gas discovery in the St. Lawrence Lowlands, built over more than 20 years of investment and representing a significant potential source of low-emissions energy. Following the adoption of Bill 21 in 2022, the Government of Quebec asserted that it has revoked the Company’s exploration licences preventing development of the resource. We are challenging the constitutionality of this revocation. We anticipate the setting of a hearing date late next year or early the following year.”
