Frontera Announces Normal Course Issuer Bid
CALGARY, AB, July 15, 2025 /CNW/ - Frontera Energy Corporation (TSX: FEC) (" Frontera" or the " Company") announces that the Toronto Stock Exchange (the " TSX") has accepted its notice to initiate a normal course issuer bid (the " NCIB") for its common shares (the " Common Shares"). Pursuant to the NCIB, Frontera may purchase up to 3,502,962 Common Shares during the 12-month period commencing July 18, 2025, and ending July 17, 2026, representing approximately 5% of the Company's issued and outstanding Common Shares as at July 15, 2025. As at July 15, 2025, there were 70,059,243 Common Shares issued and outstanding. There are no persons acting jointly or in concert with the Company in respect of the NCIB. The average daily trading volume of the Common Shares (as calculated in accordance with the TSX rules) was 48,188 Common Shares over the period between January 1, 2025 and June 30, 2025. Consequently, daily purchases through the facilities of the TSX will be limited to 12,047 Common Shares, other than block purchase exceptions. Frontera believes that, from time to time, the market price of its Common Shares may not fully reflect the underlying value of its business, future prospects and financial position. In such circumstances, Frontera may purchase for cancellation outstanding Common Shares, thereby benefitting all shareholders by increasing the underlying value of the remaining Common Shares. In connection with its NCIB, Frontera has entered into an automatic share purchase plan (the " Plan") with its designated broker, BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc. (" BMO"), to facilitate the purchase of Common Shares under the NCIB. The Plan allows for purchases by the Company of its Common Shares at any time, including, without limitation, when the Company would ordinarily not be permitted to make purchases due to regulatory restriction or self-imposed blackout periods. Purchases will be made by BMO based upon the parameters prescribed by the TSX and the terms of the parties' written agreement. The Plan has been pre-cleared by the TSX and will be implemented at the time the NCIB commences. Purchases subject to the NCIB will be carried out pursuant to open market transactions through the facilities of the TSX or alternative Canadian trading systems, if eligible, by BMO on behalf of Frontera in accordance with the Plan and applicable regulatory requirements. The price to be paid by Frontera for any Common Share will be the market price at the time of acquisition, plus brokerage fees, or such other price as the TSX may permit. The Common Shares purchased by Frontera under the NCIB will be returned to treasury and cancelled. The Company's indenture, dated as of June 21, 2021, as supplemented on April 11, 2023 and June 11, 2025, pursuant to which US$320 million aggregate principal amount of 7.875% senior notes of the Company due 2028 are currently issued (the " Indenture"), imposes certain restrictions on the Company's ability to repurchase its Common Shares. However, based on other provisions of the Indenture, the Company is not currently restricted from completing the purchases under the NCIB. Under the normal course issuer bid which expired on November 20, 2024, Frontera was authorized to repurchase for cancellation 3,949,454 Common Shares and Frontera purchased for cancellation a total of 1,552,100 Common Shares between November 21, 2023 and November 20, 2024, at a volume weighted average price of C$8.33 per Common Share. Purchases were carried out pursuant to open market transactions through the facilities of the TSX or alternative Canadian trading systems, by BMO, on behalf of the Company in accordance with an automatic share purchase plan and applicable regulatory requirements. About Frontera: Frontera Energy Corporation is a Canadian public company involved in the exploration, development, production, transportation, storage and sale of oil and natural gas in South America, including related investments in both upstream and midstream facilities. The Company has a diversified portfolio of assets which consists of interests in 22 exploration and production blocks in Colombia, Ecuador and Guyana, and in pipeline and port facilities in Colombia. Frontera's common shares are listed for trading in the Toronto Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "FEC." The Company is committed to conducting business safely and in a socially and environmentally responsible manner.

Opel Frontera SA launch delayed to 2026: What to expect
Planned for unveiling this year, Opel has pushed the launch of the revived Frontera to next year as part of its expanded crossover/SUV range, which currently consists of the Mokka and all-new Grandland. What to expect According to The Citizen, unveiled last year as the replacement for the Crossland, the Frontera changes segment from being a body-on-frame SUV, previously sold locally as the Isuzu Frontier, to a unibody crossover with five or seven seats based on parent company Stellantis's Smart Car platform. Measuring 4 385mm long, 1 795mm wide and 1 635mm tall, with a wheelbase of 2 675mm, the Frontera offers between 460 litres and 1 600 litres of boot space. Unlike the original, it is built in Slovakia rather than by Isuzu in Japan and comes without an all-wheel-drive option. Hybrid or EV Also without a manual gearbox option, the Frontera uses a mild-hybrid powertrain as standard. It pairs the well-known 1.2-litre turbocharged PureTech petrol engine in two states of tune – 74kW and 100kW – with a 21kW electric motor integrated into a newly developed six-speed dual-clutch gearbox. The fully electric version, simply called the Frontera Electric, features a 44kWh battery pack producing 83kW and offers up to 305km of range on a single charge. A long-range version, claiming up to 400km, will arrive later. In its home market, two trims are available: Edition and GS Line. Notable features include the Opel Pure Panel setup with two 10-inch displays, up to 17-inch alloy wheels, ambient lighting, IntelliLux LED headlights, a six-speaker sound system and up to five USB-C ports. The GS Line adds dual-zone climate control, rain-sensing wipers, a leather-look steering wheel, wireless smartphone charging, auto-folding electric mirrors, front parking sensors (the Edition only gets rear), a reverse camera and Blind Spot Monitoring. Standard safety features across both trims include tyre pressure monitoring, Hill Start Assist, cruise control, Driver Attention Alert, Traffic Sign Recognition, Automatic Emergency Braking and Lane Keep Assist. For South Africa Speaking to The Citizen at Stellantis's Media Connect event at Montecasino last week, Opel Middle East and Africa head Falk Zimpel confirmed that a mid-2026 market debut for the Frontera has been approved, suggesting a launch around June or July. Priced from €23 900 (about R499 000) in Germany and from £23 995 (about R577 000) in the UK – where sister brand Vauxhall calls the Edition the Design – details on local pricing and spec will be announced closer to launch. However, it is expected to possibly forgo the mild-hybrid powertrain for the conventional 1.2-litre PureTech turbo developing 96kW/230Nm, as used in the Corsa. The electric variant is unlikely to join the South African range in the near future.

FRONTERA ENERGY CORPORATION ANNOUNCES TENDER OFFER RESULTS AND RECEIPT OF REQUISITE CONSENTS UNDER THE TENDER OFFER AND CONSENT SOLICITATION FOR ITS OUTSTANDING 7.875% SENIOR NOTES DUE 2028
TORONTO, June 10, 2025 /CNW/ - Frontera Energy Corporation (TSX: FEC) (the " Company" or " Frontera") announces the results of the Company's previously announced cash tender offer (the " Offer") and concurrent consent solicitation (the " Solicitation") of its outstanding 7.875% Senior Notes due 2028 (the " Notes"), in each case, made upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement dated as of May 9, 2025 (as amended prior to the date hereof, the " Offer to Purchase"). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this press release have the meaning set forth in the Offer to Purchase. Orlando Cabrales, Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Frontera, commented: "I am pleased to announce that the Company has received (i) the requisite consents to implement the proposed amendments to the terms of the Notes and (ii) validly delivered tenders in excess of the maximum tender amount set forth in the Offer. The successful completion of this transaction is an important step for the Company as it modernizes its covenant package to meet today's market needs. The transaction also reduces the Company's Notes by U.S.$80 million (or over 20%) 3 years before maturity, highlighting the Company's commitment to its bondholders. The Company's Board and Management believe that to succeed in the current macro-economic landscape, companies must take decisive and strategic actions to maintain operational and financial flexibility, deliver long-term business and reserve growth, including through inorganic opportunities, and reduce financial leverage to ensure long-term sustainability. These results are proof of Frontera's strategic focus on delivering meaningful bondholder and investor value initiatives. The Company will continue to consider similar investor-focused initiatives in 2025 and beyond." As of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 9, 2025 (the " Extended Early Tender Date and Consent Deadline") which was also the Expiration Time, the Company had received, without duplication, (i) validly delivered tenders from Holders representing U.S.$134,169,000 in aggregate principal amount of Notes Outstanding (as defined in the Indenture) and (ii) validly delivered Consents from Holders (including Consents delivered without tenders) representing U.S.$194,448,000 (i.e. 50.38%) in aggregate principal amount of Notes Outstanding (as defined in the Indenture). Therefore, the Company has obtained the Requisite Consents to the Proposed Amendments under the Indenture governing the Notes and will proceed, on the Tender and Solicitation Settlement Date (as defined below), to (a) execute the Supplemental Indenture incorporating the Proposed Amendments and (b) pay to consenting Holders the Amended Consent Payment (consisting of U.S.$8 million to be divided pro rata among all tendering and consenting Holders, which is equal to U.S.$41.14 per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of Notes). Holders who validly delivered their Consents at or prior to the Extended Early Tender Date and Consent Deadline are eligible to receive the Amended Consent Payment with respect to their consented Notes. Holders who validly tendered their Notes at or prior to the Extended Early Tender Date and Consent Deadline, and whose Notes are accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer, are eligible to receive (a) both the Amended Tender Consideration (equal to U.S.$720 per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of Notes tendered and accepted for purchase, subject to the proration factor as detailed in the table below) and the Amended Consent Payment (equal to U.S.$41.14 per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of Notes for which a Consent was submitted, without applying the proration factor) with respect to their Notes, subject to proration as set forth in the Offer to Purchase, and (b) accrued and unpaid interest from, and including, the last interest payment date for the Notes to, but excluding, the Tender and Solicitation Settlement Date. The Company hereby accepts Notes validly tendered subject to the Amended Maximum Tender Amount (i.e., U.S.$80 million) for purchase in the Offer. Tendered Notes will be subject to proration, with the proration factor having been calculated by the Company as detailed in the table below, based on the aggregate principal amount of Notes validly tendered at or prior to the Extended Early Tender Date and Consent Deadline.

Settlement of the Amended Tender Consideration for the Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn), up to the Amended Maximum Tender Amount, and of the Amended Consent Payment for the Consents validly delivered (and not validly revoked), at or prior to the Extended Early Tender Date and Consent Deadline, is expected to occur on June 11, 2025 (the "Tender and Solicitation Settlement Date"). All Notes validly tendered but not accepted as a result of proration or otherwise will be rejected and returned to relevant Holders on the Tender and Solicitation Settlement Date. The Offer and the Solicitation are made by, and pursuant to the terms of, the Offer to Purchase and the information in this announcement is qualified by reference to the Offer to Purchase.
