Subject to all company, exchange, and regulatory approvals, Groundstar intends to renew its normal course issuer bid ("NCIB") on or about April 7, 2014 for a period of one year. Under the NCIB, Groundstar may purchase up to 2,000,000 of its issued and outstanding shares on the open market through the facilities of the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") and other alternative trading systems. The renewed NCIB would commence on or about April 7, 2014 or the date to be specified in the TSXV bulletin, and would continue for 12 months, or at such earlier date as the NCIB is completed or terminated. Groundstar has purchased 942,000 Shares under its current NCIB through the TSXV and other alternative trading systems. All Common Shares purchased under the NCIB conducted by the appointed broker will be returned to treasury and cancelled. Groundstar may enter into an Automatic Share Purchase Plan with a broker for the purpose of buying shares throughout Groundstar blackout periods. Such purchases would be determined by the broker in its sole discretion, based on parameters that are established prior to any blackout period. The Board of Directors of Groundstar believes that the shares at times may trade in a price range that does not adequately reflect the underlying value of Groundstar's assets and operations. As a result, Groundstar believes that the purchase of its outstanding Shares is a sound business decision for the Company. The company has issued a total of 190,000 common shares of the company at a deemed price of 18 cents per share to three arm's-length parties for consulting services and drilling and completion service rendered. The Company has also granted 0.5 million options to certain directors, officers, employees and consultants at an exercise price of $0.20 pursuant to the Company's rolling Stock Option Plan.
