INDEPENDENCE CONTINUES RESTRUCTURING THROUGH JUNE 30, 2015 TRANSITION PERIOD

Youngsville, Louisiana (OTC: IDNG) – Independence Energy Corp. (“Independence”) announced today a net loss of $105,614, or $0.00 per diluted share, for the five month period ended June 30, 2015. The results for the five month period included a $28,860 non-cash charge related to the amortization of certain intangible assets acquired in March 2014. For the comparable five month period ended June 30, 2014, Independence reported a net loss from continuing operations of $142,370 and a net loss of $290,553, or $0.00 per diluted share.

The Company said that on or about August 24, 2015, it expects to file with the Secretary of State for the State of Nevada the shareholder approved Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation that, among other things, officially changes its name to RedHawk Holdings Corp. (“RedHawk”). The Company said that it will initiate trading under the symbol “HAWC” once it has completed the filing of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation.

Commenting on the transition period results, Daniel J. Schreiber, Independence’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “During the five month transition period ended June 30, 2015, we continued to focus on reducing operating expenses, reviewing prior business activities, completing the disposition of our oil and gas properties, preparing for the recapitalization of our balance sheet and re-directing the future business activities of RedHawk.”

“Independence is in advanced talks to complete the acquisition targets previously announced” Schreiber continued. “These acquisition targets are focused on expanding the RedHawk Land & Hospitality LLC business unit through the acquisition of commercial property located in Lafayette, Louisiana and an ownership interest in the iconic Naniloa Hilo Resort located in Hilo, Hawaii. The Company hopes to complete the purchase of the Lafayette property during the quarter ended September 30, 2015, and the Hilo interest during the quarter ended December 31, 2015. Because some of these targeted acquisitions under consideration and impact future operations of our health care business unit, we have deferred, at this time, the decision to internally expand our marketing distribution network for the sale of our digital non-contact thermometers.”

Completion of the acquisitions are contingent upon, among other things, satisfactory completion of due diligence, the negotiation and execution of definitive purchase agreements, completion of satisfactory appraisals, and the approval of the transactions by disinterested members of Independence’s Board of Directors.
