Carmen Energy Announces Mailing of Carmen Meeting Materials

CALGARY, June 6, 2011 /CNW/ - Further to its previous announcement relating to the proposed qualifying transaction of Carmen Energy Inc. ("Carmen") by way of various agreements to acquire assets in the Ferrybank and Jumpbush areas of Alberta (the "Qualifying Transaction"), Carmen is pleased to announce that the Information Circular and Proxy Statement of Carmen (the "Information Circular") with respect to the meeting of the shareholders of Carmen (the "Carmen Shareholders") convened for the purposes of approving the Qualifying Transaction has been mailed to Carmen Shareholders. The special meeting (the "Meeting") of Carmen Shareholders is currently scheduled to be held on June 27, 2011 at 10:00 a.m. (Calgary time).

The Information Circular, which contains details in respect of the Qualifying Transaction and matters to be considered at the Meeting, is available without cost via the internet on the SEDAR website at www.sedar.com.

In light of the recent announcement of postal disruption in Canada, the physical delivery of the Information Circular and accompanying Instrument of Proxy or Voting Instruction Form (collectively, the "Meeting Materials") to Carmen Shareholders may be delayed. Accordingly, Carmen Shareholders are encouraged to access and review electronic copies of the Meeting Materials, which are filed under Carmen's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Carmen's Shareholders are also advised to take the following steps in order to ensure their vote is represented at the Meeting.

The vast majority of Carmen Shareholders do not hold their common shares in their own name but instead hold common shares of Carmen ("Carmen Shares") through a broker, financial institution, trustee, nominee or other intermediary (referred to in this press release as "Beneficial Shareholders"). Most brokers or other intermediaries delegate responsibility for obtaining voting instructions from clients to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. ("Broadridge") and Broadridge provides Beneficial Shareholders with a Voting Instruction Form ("VIF") which contains instructions on how to vote by internet or telephone along with a control number specific to each Beneficial Shareholder which is required to record the votes of Beneficial Shareholders through the internet or telephone voting system. Beneficial Shareholders who do not receive physical delivery of their VIF and control number by mail due to postal disruption may obtain their control number by contacting their broker, financial institution, nominee or other intermediary that holds their Carmen Shares. Upon obtaining their control number, Beneficial Shareholders may proceed to vote their Carmen Shares by accessing the Broadridge internet or telephone voting system in the normal course as follows or provide directions to their broker, financial institution, nominee or other intermediary to vote on their behalf:

Internet Voting

Telephone Voting

1-800-474-7493

The form of Broadridge VIF, which has also been filed on the internet under Carmen's profile at www.sedar.com, under "Other" contains more detailed instructions regarding the process for voting through the Broadridge internet and telephone system.

We encourage Beneficial Shareholders to review such instructions carefully and contact their broker, nominee or other intermediary promptly to obtain their required control number and ensure their vote is recorded through the internet and telephone system on or prior to the Broadridge proxy cutoff date of June 23, 2011.

For Carmen Shareholders that hold their Carmen Shares in their own name ("Registered Shareholders"), the form of instrument of proxy for use by Registered Shareholders is also available under Carmen's profile at www.sedar.com. Registered Shareholders must complete the instrument of proxy which may be returned by facsimile to Valiant Trust Company at 604-681- 3067, not less than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays in Alberta) before the time set for the Meeting.
