HOUSTON, TEXAS--(Marketwired - June 30, 2015) - Greenfields Petroleum Corporation (the "Company" or "Greenfields") (TSX VENTURE:GNF)(TSX VENTURE:GNF.DB) announces that it has secured temporary relief from its May 31, 2015 interest payment related to the debenture indenture (the "Indenture") governing the 9.0% convertible unsecured debentures (the "Debentures") by way of a waiver from the holders of more than 50% of the principal amount of the Debentures.

The Company failed to make the interest payment due within 30 days of May 31, 2015, and such failure potentially became an Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture) on June 30, 2015. On June 30, 2015, a majority of the holders of Debentures instructed the trustee under the Indenture to waive the Event of Default. Pursuant to the waiver, the May 31, 2015 interest payment has been deferred until the earlier of: (i) December 30, 2015; and (ii) 15 business days after the receipt by Greenfields Petroleum International Company Ltd. ("GPIC") of payment from Bahar Energy Limited ("BEL") of at least US$9 million of the Default Amount (as described below).

GPIC is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and holds a 1/3 interest in BEL. Baghlan Group Ltd. ("Baghlan"), the other shareholder in BEL holding a 2/3 interest, has failed to fund its share of the costs of BEL in accordance with the shareholders agreement with respect to BEL (the "Shareholders Agreement") and its loan funding obligation to BEL since January 2014. The Shareholders Agreement provides that in the event of a default by a shareholder in a funding obligation, the other shareholder is required, by additional loan, to provide such funds to BEL. As at June 30, 2015, GPIC has funded by way of loans to BEL, over US$22 million to cover the defaulted obligations (the "Default Amount") of Baghlan. As at June 30, 2015, the total amount due GPIC, including repayment of the Default Amount loans, interest and costs, is estimated at US$26.3 million.

As previously disclosed by the Company, receivers have taken control of Baghlan and are seeking to sell either Baghlan or Baghlan's interest in BEL. On June 17, 2015, Baghlan filed for an order appointing a liquidator in the British Virgin Islands. The receivers have advised that final bids are due on July 3, 2015 and a sale of either Baghlan or Baghlan's interest in BEL is expected to close by the end of July 2015, subject to the necessary Company and regulatory approvals. In light of the above listed consequences of the default, the Company is optimistic that the purchaser will pay the Default Amount and related interest and costs as owed by Baghlan, ultimately resulting in a payment to GPIC of the Default Amount. The waiver from the debenture interest payment is intended to provide the Company financial relief pending such repayment.

John W. Harkins, CEO of Greenfields, stated, "We are pleased with the continued support of our lenders and convertible debenture holders, as it allows Greenfields additional time to realize significant receivables owed to the Company. We remain optimistic that the Baghlan sale will be concluded shortly with our repayment shortly thereafter. We are also looking forward to the future participation of a well-funded partner to work with Greenfields and SOCAR to resume the redevelopment of the Bahar gas field and the Gum Deniz oil field and realize the full exploration potential of the remaining areas of the offshore block."
