About Saturn Oil & Gas

Saturn Oil & Gas is a TSX-listed Canadian energy company committed to responsible development, operational transparency, and consistent communication with shareholders. As an active public issuer, Saturn manages a steady cadence of press releases, regulatory filings, and time-sensitive disclosures — all of which require a streamlined, dependable workflow.

The Challenge

Before partnering with TMX Newsfile, Saturn relied on a competing newswire platform. While functional, it created unnecessary friction:

• Loading and preparing a press release often took longer than it should.

• Approval timing was slowed by the system’s inefficiencies.

• The platform wasn’t built for fast-moving IR environments where minutes matter.

As a TSX-listed issuer, Saturn relies on press release distribution for continuous disclosure to keep the market informed quickly and accurately.

The Saturn IR team needed a disclosure partner that could match the pace and precision required for public-company communication.

Why TMX Newsfile Was the Right Fit

Saturn Oil & Gas selected TMX Newsfile because it delivered across the core areas that matter most to public issuers: speed, ease of use, strong service support, and a simplified partnership model.

Service Excellence

A defining part of Saturn’s experience has been the quality of support provided by the TMX Newsfile team. Cindy Gray highlighted the impact of this hands-on approach:

“Corine Blain is a significant asset for Newsfile.” — Cindy Gray, VP Investor Relations, Saturn Oil & Gas

While Corine’s support stood out, this level of responsiveness reflects the broader service standard that Newsfile provides to public issuers — timely, knowledgeable, and deeply aligned with capital markets requirements.

Speed & Efficiency

One of Saturn’s biggest challenges was how long it took to load and prepare releases on their previous platform. With TMX Newsfile, the difference was immediate.

Releases now load quickly, supporting tighter internal approval timelines and helping the IR team stay fully aligned with continuous disclosure obligations.

Ease of Use

The intuitive design of the Newsfile portal removed friction from the workflow. Saturn’s team found the platform simple, logical, and fast — making their entire release process more predictable and easier to manage.

A Unified, Simplified Partnership

Another major benefit for Saturn was the ability to consolidate all distribution and disclosure services under one clear, easy-to-understand contract.

This clarity reduces administrative complexity and gives the IR team confidence in both budget planning and workflow consistency.

Results

Since adopting TMX Newsfile, Saturn Oil & Gas has experienced measurable improvements:

• Noticeably faster press release preparation

• A smoother, more reliable continuous disclosure workflow

• Dependable, high-touch service during time-sensitive announcements

• Simplified contracting and year-round support

• Stronger confidence in accuracy, timing, and compliance

“Everything is going very well and Newsfile delivers great service,” Cindy shared — reflecting the consistency and reliability Saturn experiences across the platform.

A Standout Success

One of the most impactful outcomes was Newsfile’s ability to package all services into a single, streamlined contract.

For a public issuer with recurring disclosure cycles, this predictability and clarity are invaluable.

Final Perspective

Cindy shared a guiding principle that mirrors the mindset behind TMX Newsfile’s service approach:

“Never stop giving 110% in everything you do, and it's not the mistakes we make in life that people remember — it's how you deal with them.”

At TMX Newsfile, this commitment shows up in responsive, knowledgeable support and a platform built to help issuers communicate confidently with the market.
