Production Enhancement Group Announces Receipt of Notice of Default From Its Senior Lender

HOUSTON, TX--(MARKET WIRE)--Apr 3, 2009 -- Production Enhancement Group, Inc. (Toronto:WIS.TO - News) ("PEG" or the "Company") today announced that it received from its senior lender a notice of default as a result of the Company's failure to make its March 30, 2009 principle and interest payment. Accordingly, the senior lender gave notice that the March 2009 principle and interest payments and all other obligations under the senior facility are immediately due and payable and that the obligation to make further loans are hereby terminated.

"The Company was not able to meet the first quarter 2009 principal and interest payments due to the Lender by March 31, 2009 and was in breach of its debt covenants. The rapidly deteriorating market conditions of oil and gas prices, the continued impact on the Gulf Coast production due to the hurricanes of the last two years and the credit markets have extracted a toll on the Company as we advised our shareholders in the annual report filings March 31, 2009. The Company is in discussions with its Lender with respect to resolving this situation," said Joseph P. Lahey, PEG's Chief Executive Officer.
