RENAISSANCE CLOSES THE BALANCE OF ITS OVERSUBSCRIBED PRIVATE PLACEMENT

 FOR A TOTAL OF $10,689,000

November 4, 2015 – Vancouver, BC – Renaissance Oil Corp. (“Renaissance” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: ROE) is pleased to announce closing of the balance of the successful oversubscribed private placement between the Company and Haywood Securities Inc. (the “Agent”), for 45,865,000 units (“Units”) at a price of C$0.10 per Unit, for gross proceeds of approximately C$4.6 million (the “Offering”). Pursuant to both the first and second tranches and including the non-brokered portion of the private placement, Renaissance has raised a total of C$10,689,000.

Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company and one common share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”).  Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one common share of the Company at an exercise price of C$0.20 until October 6, 2020. The Warrants were issued pursuant to, and are governed by, a warrant indenture between the Company and Computershare Trust Company of Canada dated October 6, 2015, as supplemented by the first supplemental warrant indenture dated November 4, 2015.  The Company intends to apply to the TSX Venture Exchange upon expiry of the hold period for the listing of the Warrants. Pursuant to the first and second tranche of the private placement, there will be a total of 106,890,000 Warrants with an expiry date of October 6, 2020.

Pursuant to the Agency Agreement, as compensation for services rendered in connection with the Offering, the Agent received a cash commission equal to 6% of the gross proceeds of the brokered portion of the Offering, excluding proceeds identified and delivered by management or the board of directors of the Company of the brokered portion of the Offering which were subjected to a 3% cash commission.

The net proceeds of the Offering will be used to aid in the Company’s ongoing efforts in securing oil and gas rights in Mexico, to fund capital expenditures and for general corporate purposes.

The securities issued under the second tranche of the Offering, including any common shares issued on exercise of the Warrants, are subject to a hold period of four months plus one day from the date of issuance, expiring on March 5, 2016.

The Company has been advised that Clearview Capital Limited (“Clearview”) acquired ownership and control over 13,000,000 common shares, representing 8.44% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company and 13,000,000 Warrants.  In the event that Clearview exercised the Warrants in full, Clearview would own and control a total of 26,000,000 Shares of the Company representing 15.56% of the then-issued and outstanding common shares of the Company on a partially diluted basis assuming no other common shares of the Company are issued.

Clearview acquired the securities for investment purposes and has no present intention to acquire further securities of the Company, although they may in the future acquire or dispose of securities of the Company through the market, privately or otherwise, as circumstances or market conditions warrant.

A copy of the Early Warning report filed by Clearview in connection with the acquisition is available on the Company’s SEDAR profile.
