James Dai Joins Board of Directors

Dejour Energy Inc. (NYSE MKT: DEJ / TSX: DEJ) (“Dejour” or the “Company”), an independent oil and gas exploration and production company operating in North America’s Piceance Basin and Peace River Arch regions, today announced that it has closed the initial tranche of an industry-standard bridge loan commitment of up to C$ 2MM from a principal and director of the Company. These funds will provide a flexible source of capital to support the current 2015 initiatives of the company. The independent members of the Board of Directors approved the loan agreement and the principal and director appropriately abstained from voting in the loan transaction.

The Company is very pleased to announce that James Dai has been invited to join the Board of Directors, increasing its membership from five to six. Mr. Dai, a resident of Vancouver BC, holds both CPA and CFA designations; a Bachelor of CSc. from UBC, where he received the Martin Frauendorf Prize for Leadership, subsequently interning with Panasonic, Microsoft and E-GEMS Research. He has a graduate degree from MIT where he is Fellow of both the Canadian National NSERC and MIT Media Lab. Mr. Dai is currently the CFO of four private and public companies focused in the lumber, O&G, mining and biotech sectors of Western Canada, where he continues to represent the interests of international capital including a prominent Asia-based investor that has been making strategic investments in the North American market for the last three years. Prior to this engagement, Mr. Dai completed a corporate finance tenure with investment dealer Raymond James.

“We are very pleased with both the continued developmental success of our core projects and Mr. Dai’s addition to the Board of Directors. He will provide an access to the international community that could assist Dejour to further maximize the value of our portfolio of energy properties. This year, we expect to see production growth from at least 10 new wells, including a strategic new Mancos/ Niobrara indicated discovery, as we further delineate our extensive inventory of drillable PUD’s and multiple as yet untapped exploitation leases offering excellent longer term potential,” stated Robert L. Hodgkinson, Chairman & CEO.
