Cub Energy Inc.: Receives US$ 3 Million Dividend from KUB-Gas LLC

HOUSTON, TEXAS--(Marketwire - March 27, 2013) - Cub Energy Inc. ("Cub" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:KUB) announces that its subsidiary, KUB-Gas LLC ("KUB-Gas"), in which Cub has a 30% ownership interest, has distributed a dividend in the amount of USD 10 million, out of which Cub has received USD 3 million.

The owner of KUB-Gas, Kubgas Holdings Limited ("KH"), a Cypriot holding company, paid a USD 10 million dividend to its shareholders with Cub receiving its USD 3 million share.

This is the first time a dividend has been paid to the shareholders of KH. It was determined that profits generated by current KUB-Gas operations are high enough to pay out funds to its owners without any negative impact on the current investment plan. Until recently, cash generated from operations has primarily been re-invested in KUB-Gas operations to continue the development of additional reserves and production and to purchase necessary technology and equipment.

Mikhail Afendikov, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cub, commented:

"I am pleased with progress made in our joint-venture. KUB-Gas growth has been significant over the last few years and receipt of this first dividend is an important milestone for our company.

"We are delighted that operations are not only funding our extensive work programme planned for these assets in 2013, but are also returning profits to the joint-venture shareholders. This is a testament to the hard work of the Cub, KUB-Gas and our joint-venture partners. I am proud and appreciative of our team's dedication and efforts."

The strong financial position of KUB-Gas is a result of its operational success over past several years. During the year ended 31 December 2012 KUB-Gas' natural gas production in Ukraine averaged 22.8 million cubic feet per day ("MMcf/d") (6.84 MMcf/d net to Cub). The price received for natural gas during 2012 averaged $11.71 per thousand cubic feet ("Mcf").

Increased sales volumes and the strong selling price for natural gas contributed to an increase in the netback to KUB-Gas from natural gas and condensate sales to $8.15 per Mcf equivalent. Since June 2010, KUB-Gas has generated $143.8 million of gross production revenue, with Cub's 30% share being $43.1 million.

Having paid the dividend, the cash flow generated to KUB-Gas from its natural gas and condensate production is sufficient to cover all the costs associated with the exploration and production activities planned for 2013.

KUB-Gas owns a 100% interest in the Olgovskoye, Makeevskoye and North Makeevskoye, Krutogorovskoye and Vergunskoye licenses in the Lugansk area of Ukraine.
