Prospera Energy launches $12 million private placement to fund heavy-oil well reactivation and optimization programs in Western Canada

Calgary-based Prospera Energy Inc. (TSXV: PEI) announced on September 9, 2026, a non-brokered private placement of up to 400 million units priced at $0.03 per unit, targeting up to $12 million CAD in gross proceeds.

This is the company’s third attempt at securing this financing — it replaces unit offerings previously announced in June and August 2026, both of which were terminated without any securities being issued. The new placement carries the same terms as the August 29 announcement and has been filed with the TSX Venture Exchange as a fresh offering.

Prospera launches $12 million non-brokered private placement

The September 9 announcement formally files the offering with the TSX Venture Exchange as a new private placement, replacing and terminating four prior offerings announced on June 29, August 3, and August 29, 2026. None of those earlier rounds resulted in any securities being issued.

Closing is targeted on or before September 30, 2026, though the company may close in one or more tranches, and final TSX Venture Exchange approval is still required.

Each unit consists of one common share plus one warrant. That warrant lets holders buy one additional share at $0.05 for two years after closing. Warrant exercise prices are also subject to standard anti-dilution adjustments for events like share splits, consolidations, or rights issues.

Why Prospera is raising capital now

The money isn’t going into a general fund. Prospera has earmarked net proceeds for specific operational programs across its Saskatchewan and Alberta properties.

The first is the Luseland Well Reactivation Program, aimed at bringing previously shut-in heavy-oil wells back into production. The second is the Luseland Well Optimization Program, which covers installing additional recycle pumps and performing pump-upsize projects — including sand cleanouts — on currently active wells. Rounding out the list is the Cuthbert Workover Program, targeting shut-in wells for workovers and optimization to restore and improve production at that asset.

Together, these programs reflect a production-growth strategy built around existing wellbores rather than new drilling — an approach that can be faster and cheaper than greenfield development, though results depend heavily on well conditions and commodity prices.

Offering terms, eligibility, and closing conditions

The units are being offered to qualified purchasers under exemptions from prospectus and registration requirements. This isn’t a public offering in the traditional sense; participation is restricted to investors who meet specific eligibility criteria under Canadian securities law.

One notable feature: the units are eligible for registered accounts, including TFSAs, RRSPs, RESPs, RRIFs, RDSPs, FHSAs, and DPSPs. That opens the door for Canadian retail investors to hold these securities within tax-advantaged accounts — a meaningful detail for smaller investors weighing participation. All securities issued will carry a statutory hold period of four months and one day from closing. The company may also pay qualified finders a fee of up to 7% of aggregate cash proceeds, plus warrants equal to 7% of units issued, each exercisable at $0.05 for two years.

Prospera settles over $275,000 in trade payables with shares and warrants

Alongside the placement announcement, Prospera disclosed two separate shares-for-debt transactions totaling more than $275,000 in settled trade payables.

In the first, Prospera entered settlement agreements with six arm’s length vendors covering $202,531.31 in outstanding payables. Those get satisfied through the issuance of 5,500,348 common shares and 1,250,000 warrants, with deemed prices ranging from $0.035 to $0.050 per share depending on the vendor. These shares and warrants are still subject to TSXV acceptance.

The second transaction updates a previously announced arrangement from May 18, 2026. Four additional vendors settled $72,671.43 in payables through 1,782,746 common shares, priced at either $0.040 or $0.050 per share. That arrangement has already received TSX Venture Exchange acceptance — putting it further along in the approval process than the six-vendor deal. Both transactions use shares and warrants instead of cash, preserving liquidity while clearing vendor obligations — a common tool for smaller resource companies managing tight working capital.

About Prospera Energy and its western Canada operations

Prospera Energy is a Calgary-headquartered, publicly traded Canadian oil and gas company. It trades on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol PEI and on the U.S. OTC Market under GXRFF, with a focus on the exploration, development, and production of crude oil and natural gas — particularly recovering value from legacy fields.

Its core properties sit in Saskatchewan and Alberta, specifically at Cuthbert, Luseland, Hearts Hill, and Brooks. All four are heavy-oil assets, and the company’s stated approach centers on optimizing recovery using what it describes as environmentally safe reservoir development methods. Management has internally identified approximately 140 additional reactivation candidates across its Saskatchewan heavy-oil asset base — a significant number, though these candidates aren’t classified as reserves or resources under National Instrument 51-101, and there’s no guarantee any particular well will be reactivated economically.

To summarize the key facts: Prospera is seeking up to $12 million CAD through a non-brokered private placement of 400 million units at $0.03 each, with every unit bundling a share and a warrant. Proceeds are designated for three named operational programs in Saskatchewan and Alberta. The offering must close by September 30, 2026, pending TSXV approval. Separately, the company has settled over $275,000 in vendor payables using shares and warrants across two transactions — one already approved, one still pending exchange acceptance.
