The Corporation's board of directors approved the voluntary delisting from the TSX Venture Exchange after weighing the required expenses and multi-jurisdictional filings to maintain a dual listing of the company's securities against the perceived shareholder benefit accrued from trading on different platforms. Since the Corporation's TSX-V listing effective December 24, 2007 to market close on October 30, 2009, liquidity analysis revealed an average daily trading volume of 270,413 shares on the OTCBB and 14,022 on the TSX-V for the period. A TSX-V listing and maintenance requires an annual fee plus additional costs for transactions relating to financings, agreements and forms review, processing fees, etc. In comparison, there are no fees for issuers quoted on the OTCBB. The Corporation does not expect the anticipated voluntary delisting from the TSX-V will have any impact on the day-to-day operations of the company.

The OTCBB is a regulated quotation service that displays real-time quotes, last-sale prices and volume information for more than 3,300 securities. There are no fees for issuers quoted on the OTCBB. Even though the OTCBB data is disseminated as part of the Nasdaq Level 1/Last Sale ServiceSM, it is separate and distinct from the Nasdaq Stock MarketSM. The OTCBB securities are traded by a community of market makers who enter quotes and trade reports through a computer network, of which information is publicly available on various stock trading websites. The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) is the largest independent regulator for securities firms in the United States and is responsible for establishing rules governing its broker/dealer members, including OTCBB subscribing members, on conduct, qualification standards, examinations, investigations, violations, and investor and member inquiries. To maintain quotation eligibility, Kodiak Energy, Inc. is required to file periodic financial information with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). All the Corporation's filings are located under the "Kodiak Energy, Inc." profile on the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval (EDGAR) system through the U.S. SEC website at http://www.sec.gov. In addition, Kodiak is Sarbanes Oxley (SOX) compliant, is a fully reporting accelerated filer, and adheres to the security laws, rules, regulations and filing requirements of the U.S. SEC.

Additional information regarding the OTCBB can be found at www.otcbb.com. Shareholders should contact their broker for more information about executing trades in common stock on the OTCBB.
