Victory Energy Announces Voting Results from Special Meeting of Stockholders

AUSTIN, Texas, Nov. 21, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Victory Energy Corporation (OTCQB:VYEY) ("Victory" or the “Company”), today announced the voting results from its special meetings of stockholders held on November 20, 2017. Approximately 74 percent of all outstanding shares were present or represented by proxy at the meeting.

The Board of Directors had recommended a vote for each of the three stockholder proposals, and each proposal succeeded in receiving affirmative votes from a majority of the total shares that were represented at the meeting and entitled to vote and, accordingly, they all passed. The approximate percentages of the shares present or represented by proxy at the meeting that were voted in favor of each of the three shareholder proposals were as follows:

• To approve the amended and restated articles of incorporation: approximately 73.68 percent of the shares that were entitled to vote.
• To approve the divestiture of all the Company’s partnership interests in Aurora Energy Partners: approximately 99.98 percent of the shares that were present or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote.
• To approve the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan: approximately 99.96 percent of the shares that were present or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote.

The Company reported that stockholders approved the election of each of Victory’s seven director nominees. Each director nominee received affirmative votes from approximately 99.96 percent of the shares voted, excluding abstentions and broker non-votes, as follows:

Kenny Hill, Victory’s Chief Executive Officer commented, “We are pleased that our stockholders voted overwhelmingly to approve this transaction and recognize the value of transforming Victory into a technology-driven, friction reducing oilfield products and services company. We believe this alliance with Liquidmetal Coatings’ affiliate, Armacor Victory Ventures, is a win for both companies and their respective stockholders. The alliance will provide Victory with a combination of patent-protected products, a rapidly developing commercial marketplace and exclusive distribution rights, that we believe create an ideal opportunity to scale product sales distribution and related services quickly into the major oil and gas basins of North America, including the Permian, Oklahoma STACK/SCOOP and Eagle Ford.   We believe the Armacor patented brand of mid-pipe coating and RFID enclosure products will provide the perfect entry-point foundation to grow our Company and allow us to play a major role in addressing the industry’s need to operate more effectively in a low commodity price environment.  Additional Liquidmetal Coatings products will be brought into market as they are approved by the upstream oil and gas companies who are already performing field testing.  To aid in the acceleration of our distribution channels and quickly grow the business, we intend to begin acquiring already-identified U.S. oilfield service companies that are recognized for their quality products and services in the major U.S. oil and natural gas basins they serve.”

The official voting results for each item voted on by stockholders will be disclosed in a report on Form 8-K to be filed shortly with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
