Torque Energy Inc. (TSX VENTURE: TQE) advises that at its annual and special shareholder meeting held today, its shareholders approved the amalgamation of Torque with a subsidiary of Dundee Energy Limited (formerly called Eurogas Corporation) whereby Torque will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dundee Energy. The amalgamation was approved by over 94.0% of the votes cast by all shareholders and by over 86.6% of the votes cast excluding persons and companies affiliated with Dundee Energy.

Shareholders of Torque were able to elect before 4:30 p.m. (Toronto time) on July 27, 2011 to receive on the amalgamation either C$0.50 for each Torque share held or one common share in Dundee Energy for every two Torque shares held. If no election was made, shareholders will receive C$0.50 per share.

It is expected that Torque's shares will halted until the amalgamation is completed in early August, at which time the shares will be delisted from the TSX Venture Exchange and shareholders will be sent the cash or share consideration which they elected to receive for their Torque shares.
