SHERMAN OAKS, Calif., June 24, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Petroteq Energy Inc. (“Petroteq” or the “Company”) ‎‎(TSXV:PQE; ‎OTC:PQEFF; FSE:PQCF), an integrated oil ‎company focused on the development and implementation of its proprietary oil-‎extraction and remediation technologies, announces the amendment of three convertible debentures and three warrants issued to an arm’s length lender between July 2019 and October 2019.

In addition, the parties intend to amend the exercise price of three warrants issued to the lender exercisable for up to 3,444,639 common shares of the Company from US$0.20, US$0.24 and US$0.26 to US$0.03.
