BW0158 AUG 13,1999 10:51 PACIFIC 13:51 EASTERN ( BW)(CO-ARETE-INDUSTRIES)(AREE) Arete Industries, Inc. Releases Supplemental Response to Recent SEC Complaint Business Editors BOULDER, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 13, 1999--Arete Industries, Inc. (OTC BB: AREE) today supplemented its Aug. 4, 1999, release responding to the recent SEC complaint against it, two former officers/directors and its current chairman and CEO. The Company has only recently received the SEC complaint and is still reviewing it. Counsel will be reviewing the evidence available from the SEC investigation and likely will be filing a response within the next sixty (60) days. Counsel also intends to confer with the SEC staff informally to determine whether a prompt resolution of the matter is possible. The SEC's complaint concerns certain press releases made by former management of the Company in February of 1998 relating to a proposed merger with an entity owned by Mr. Raabe, the Company's current CEO. The SEC complaint also addresses late and non-filing of certain of past annual and periodic financial reports by former management. The Company, Mr. Raabe and the prior management cooperated with the SEC in its investigation. There is no suggestion in the complaint that either the Company, Mr. Raabe or the former officers/directors benefited from the press releases. The press release at issue was based on information that was reasonably believed to be reliable and accurate. The Company also issued a clarifying release. The Company believes that other than the distraction to management and the defense costs, the case will not have a material impact on the day-to-day business nor the present or future prospects of the Company or its subsidiaries. Further, based on advice of counsel, the Company does not plan to issue further releases nor will endeavor to make more specific information available to the public in the immediate future concerning the case.
