Westbridge Sells Interest in Wharton County Field and Grants Shares for Debt

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - March 12, 2015) - Westbridge Energy Corporation (TSX VENTURE:WEB)PUQ(OTC PINK: WEGYF) ("Westbridge" or the "Company") reports it has improved its capital position by selling its interest in the Wharton County Field and settling an outstanding debt by issuing shares of the Company.

Sale of Wharton County Interest

The Company has entered into a definitive Purchase and Sale Agreement ("PSA") to sell its current working interest in the Wharton County Field to a private US company, in exchange for a back-in right equal to 25% of its current working interest upon payout of the Gary Heirs #3 well ("GH#3"). The acquirer will also assume all current and future liabilities and costs associated with the field, until the realization of Westbridge's back-in right. Upon the realization of the back-in right, Westbridge will pay its proportionate share of costs going forward. Westbridge will also retain its current cost recovery from the GH#3 until payout. The GH#3 is currently shut-in as a result of uneconomic production levels due to the decline in oil prices. The operator has indicated their intention to recomplete the GH#3 with the objective of achieving an economic level of production.

Shares for Debt

Westbridge also announces that it has received conditional approval of the TSX Venture to proceed with a previously agreed upon shares for debt transaction. Pursuant to the shares for debt transaction, the Company will issue 600,000 common shares at a deemed price of $0.12 per share in order to settle a debt in the amount of $72,450. The shares will be issued to an entity controlled by the President and CEO of the Company. The shares are being issued at a 100% premium to the closing price of the Company's shares on TSX Venture Exchange, as at March 11, 2015.
