ATHA ENERGY ANNOUNCES GRANT OF COMPENSATION SECURITIES

Atha Energy Corp. has granted an aggregate of 10.15 million incentive stock options and 1.3 million restricted share units to certain eligible participants, including certain directors and officers of the company, under the company's equity incentive plan. One-third of the options shall vest on the date of issuance thereof, one-third of the options shall vest on the six-month anniversary of the date of issuance thereof and the remaining one-third of the options shall vest on the 12-month anniversary of the date of issuance thereof. Upon vesting, each option shall be exercisable to acquire one common share in the capital of the company for a period of five years from the date of issuance thereof at an exercise price of 61 cents. Each RSU, which shall vest on the 12-month anniversary of the date of issuance thereof, shall entitle the holder thereof to the issuance of one common share upon redemption thereof.

Pursuant to the plan, the aggregate number of common shares issuable under the plan in respect of all awards granted by the company may not exceed 10 per cent of the issued and outstanding common shares at the time of any grant hereunder, being 31,654,604 common shares, at the date of the aforementioned grants.

A copy of the plan is available under the company's SEDAR+ profile.

The company relied on Section 5.5(b) of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 (Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions) as the exemption from the formal valuation requirements of MI 61-101 in respect of the grant of options and RSUs to certain related parties (as such term is defined under MI 61-101) of the company, as the common shares are not listed on a specified market under MI 61-101. The company relied on Section 5.7(a) of MI 61-101 as the exemption from the minority approval requirements of MI 61-101 in respect of the grant of options and RSUs to certain related parties of the company as neither the fair market value of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, such issuances exceeded 25 per cent of the company's market capitalization.
