BVI-registered Eco Oil & Gas Ltd entered into agreement with Goldbard Capital Corporation

Goldbard Capital Corporation, a publicly traded company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange and pursuing exploration and development opportunities within the resource sectors, announced some time ago that it has entered into an arm's length binding Business Combination Agreement with the British Virgin Islands company Eco Oil & Gas Ltd., focused on oil and gas exploration projects in Africa. After the business combination, which will constitute a reverse takeover of Goldbard under the exchange policies, Eco will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Goldbard.

Pursuant to the agreement, Goldbard formed a new corporation Goldbard Resources Inc., which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Goldbard and is incorporated under the law of BVI, for the purpose of amalgamation with Eco.

Upon the combination of Eco Oil & Gas Ltd. and Goldbard Resources Inc., holders of ordinary shares in the capital of Eco will be entitled to get 1.25303867 Consolidated Shares for each one Eco Share. The foregoing Consolidated Shares will be issued at a deemed issuance price of US$0.50 per share.

Upon closing of the reverse takeover, Goldbard will issue 45,360,000 Consolidated Shares to the holders of Eco shares and replacement warrants to holders of Eco Warrants that entitle them to acquire 3,759,116 Consolidated Shares.

At the meeting of shareholders of Goldbard, shareholders will be asked to approve a continuance of Goldbard to British Columbia, and a change of the Resulting Issuer's name to "Eco (Atlantic) Oil & Gas Ltd."
