American Eagle Energy to List Common Stock on NYSE MKT

DENVER, Nov. 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- American Eagle Energy Corporation (OTCQX: AMZG) (the "Company" or "American Eagle") is pleased to announce that its common stock has been approved to list on the NYSE MKT.  Trading is expected to commence on the NYSE MKT at the opening of the market on Wednesday, November 20, 2013, and will continue to trade under the ticker symbol "AMZG".  Through the close of the market on Tuesday, November 19, 2013, American Eagle's shares will continue to trade on the OTCQX.

"The move to the NYSE MKT could not have come at a better time for the Company and its stockholders," stated Brad Colby, President and CEO of American Eagle.  Colby continued, "We just announced our third-quarter results with record quarterly oil production, record quarterly oil sales, and record Adjusted EBITDA.  The listing of our common stock on the NYSE MKT is an important next step in our ongoing efforts to increase the visibility of American Eagle and to maximize stockholder return.  We are excited about the NYSE MKT listing, which, we believe, should increase the trading liquidity of our stock, broaden our stockholder base, and raise our profile in the investment community."

The Company also announces that it has selected Brendan E. Cryan & Co. as its Designated Market Maker (DMM) on the NYSE MKT.  The NYSE MKT is considered to be a premier US equities market for the listing and trading of growing companies that are similar to, as well as much larger than, American Eagle.  The NYSE MKT is a fully integrated trading venue within the NYSE Euronext community and leverages the NYSE's advanced and innovative market model to offer a premier venue for American Eagle.  The venue utilizes the trading, connectivity, and routing technologies of the NYSE platform and offers superior price discovery, superior liquidity, and reduced trading volatility.  The Designated Market Maker that American Eagle selected is expected to utilize the world-class NYSE trading systems to discover and improve prices, dampen volatility, add liquidity, and enhance value.  In addition, NYSE MKT-listed companies, such as American Eagle, gain access to the brand visibility and will be eligible for the issuer services enjoyed by the NYSE Euronext community.

"As an NYSE MKT-listed company, American Eagle Energy Corporation will join other growth-oriented companies that take advantage of the NYSE's advanced and innovative market model to offer a premier value for listing and trading their stocks," said Scott Cutler, Executive Vice President, Global Listings at NYSE Euronext.
