Dejour Energy Inc. announced that it has closed the initial tranche of bridge loan commitment of up to CAD 2 million from a principal and director of the company. These funds will provide a flexible source of capital to support the current 2015 initiatives of the company. The independent members of the Board of Directors approved the loan agreement and the principal and director appropriately abstained from voting in the loan transaction.

The company announced that James Dai has been invited to join the Board of Directors, increasing its membership from five to six. Mr. Dai is currently the CFO of four private and public companies focused in the lumber, O&G, mining and biotech sectors of Western Canada, where he continues to represent the interests of international capital including a prominent Asia-based investor that has been making strategic investments in the North American market for the last three years.
