Rodinia Oil Corp. provides corporate update

CALGARY, June 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ - (TSXV: ROZ) - Rodinia Oil Corp. ("Rodinia") announces that its strategic review process being conducted with its financial advisor has now ended without success.

On September 18, 2012, Rodinia announced that it had engaged CIBC World Markets Inc. ("CIBC") as exclusive financial advisor to assist the Board of Directors' Special Committee in exploring and evaluating a range of strategic alternatives with the view to maximizing shareholder value.  Such strategic alternatives could have included, but were not limited to, a sale, farmout or joint venture of all or a portion of the assets of Rodinia, a merger or other business combination of Rodinia with another entity, a recapitalization of Rodinia, a sale of Rodinia as a whole or any combination thereof.

Over the past nine months, various parties have signed confidentiality agreements with Rodinia and have reviewed its confidential data.  However, no proposals have been brought forward for Rodinia to consider and as a result, the financial advisory services of CIBC have been terminated.

As Rodinia has no external source of revenue and has been unable to collect any of the $4.4 million owed to it by its working interest partner, it must depend upon the use of its remaining working capital to continue to carry on business. In order to reduce its ongoing expenses, Rodinia has reduced the compensation payable to its President and Chief Executive Officer to nil, has reduced the compensation payable to its Vice President Finance and Chief Financial Officer substantially and has terminated the services of several of its staff, including Ms. Susan Showers, Manager, Investor Relations. Rodinia's Board and senior management would like to thank Ms. Showers for her dedicated contribution to Rodinia and wish her the very best in her future endeavors.

Rodinia will continue to seek a transaction that will benefit its shareholders. However, as it has been unable to raise additional capital or complete a transaction through its strategic review process, Rodinia's ability to carry on as a going concern is now in serious doubt.
