(OTC: FTXP), including its direct and indirect subsidiaries, (“Foothills,” or the “Company”), an oil and gas exploration company focused on delivering the energy needs of today and tomorrow, is pleased to announce that it has reached a settlement agreement and paid to extinguish a dilutive warrant.
Balance Sheet Initiatives:
For the remainder of the year, the Company’s intended strategy is to settle and/or retire all of its outstanding convertible debt and associated warrants to clean up its balance sheet and better position itself for future growth.

“This agreement is a pivotal step as we continue tightening our balance sheet and working towards becoming a fully-reporting company with audited financials,” said Bruno P. Allaire, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. “Management is delivering on its promise to clean up the dilutive components of the Company's balance sheet and taking decisive action to eliminate all toxic debt and minimize future dilution risk to shareholders. This move prevents the potential for up to one billion shares or more of our common stock from flooding the market,” continued Allaire. “The Company looks forward to partaking in sensible and rational discussions with its two remaining convertible note and warrant holders intended to reach the best possible outcome for shareholders, while also supporting the Company’s future growth plans,” ended Allaire.
