EMM ENERGY INC. ("EMM") (TSX VENTURE:M) and SKYWEST ENERGY CORP. ("SkyWest") are
pleased to announce that on June 22, 2010, they completed their previously
announced plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") pursuant to an arrangement
agreement dated April 28, 2010. Pursuant to the Arrangement, SkyWest acquired
all of the issued and outstanding shares of EMM (the "EMM Shares"). Under the
Arrangement, former EMM shareholders received (i) an aggregate of approximately
$6,700,000 cash (representing $1.05 cash for each issued and outstanding EMM
Share); and (ii) an aggregate of 12,600,000 SkyWest common shares (the "SkyWest
Shares") at a deemed price of $0.30 per share (the "Consideration"). 


Prior to the completion of the Arrangement, SkyWest completed a brokered private
placement ("Private Placement") for aggregate gross proceeds of $21 million,
through the issuance of 70 million subscription receipts (the "Subscription
Receipts") at a price of $0.30 per Subscription Receipt. Each Subscription
Receipt entitled the holder to one SkyWest Share without payment of additional
consideration immediately preceding the closing of the Arrangement. Wellington
West Capital Markets Inc. acted as the sole agent for the Private Placement. In
connection with completion of the Arrangement, the Subscription Receipts were
deemed exercised and holders thereof were issued one SkyWest Share for each
Subscription Receipt held and the escrowed Subscription Receipts proceeds were
released to SkyWest. 


For further information regarding the details of the Arrangement, please refer
to the news releases dated April 12, 2010, May 11, 2010, May 31, 2010 and the
management information circular of EMM dated May 27, 2010, all filed on SEDAR at
www.sedar.com. 


The Arrangement was approved at an annual and special meeting of the
securityholders of EMM held on June 21, 2010. The Court of Queen's Bench of
Alberta also granted a final order approving the Arrangement on June 21, 2010.
As part of the Arrangement, EMM and SkyWest were amalgamated and continued as
SkyWest Energy Corp. ("Amalco"). Pursuant to the Arrangement, each SkyWest Share
was exchanged for one Amalco common share (each an "Amalco Common Share") and
the outstanding EMM Shares were cancelled. 


A letter of transmittal has been delivered to EMM's registered shareholders.
Upon submission of a duly completed letter of transmittal and any other required
documentation, former EMM shareholders, will receive the Consideration to which
they are entitled to receive pursuant to the Arrangement, subject to adjustment
for fractional securities. EMM Shares that are registered in the name of a
broker, investment dealer, bank, trust company or other nominee, require EMM
shareholders to contact that nominee for instructions and assistance on
delivering EMM certificates to the depositary, Olympia Trust Company. A copy of
the letter of transmittal is available under EMM's SEDAR profile at
www.sedar.com. 


As a condition precedent to the Arrangement, on June 17, 2010, SkyWest also
completed the acquisition of Stratosphere Energy Corp. ("Stratosphere") pursuant
to an acquisition agreement wherein SkyWest acquired all of the common shares of
Stratosphere in exchange for 1.2 SkyWest Shares (at a deemed price of $0.30 per
share) for each one (1) Stratosphere common share issued and outstanding or a
total of 5,073,910 SkyWest Shares. As a result, Stratosphere became a
wholly-owned subsidiary of SkyWest.


Resumption of Trading 

The EMM Shares were halted from trading on the TSX Venture Exchange at market
close on June 21, 2010 and will remain halted until TSX Venture Exchange issues
the final bulletin in connection with the Arrangement, at which point the Amalco
Common Shares will begin trading on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol
"SKW". Amalco expects that TSX Venture Exchange's final bulletin will be issued
on or about June 24, 2010 with trading expected to resume at market open on or
about June 25, 2010.


Corporate Update 

Following completion of the Arrangement, SkyWest continues to actively expand
their Cardium land position and entered into a gross 6 section farm-in
transaction within the south west portion of the halo of the main Pembina pool.
In addition, EMM/SkyWest closed a 20 bbl/day Cardium oil acquisition for
$1,025,000. The two transactions combined add approximately 28 gross (10 net)
Cardium oil horizontal locations. 


SkyWest is well capitalized with available funds greater than $21 million and
SkyWest plans to drill 5 to 6 Cardium horizontal oil wells by year-end with
drilling operations to commence in July. SkyWest plans to exit 2010 with a
production rate of 900 to 1,100 boepd which will be weighted approximately two
thirds oil and NGLs.
