CALGARY, ALBERTA -- (Marketwire) -- 12/14/12 -- C&C Energia Ltd. ("C&C Energia" or the "Corporation") (TSX:CZE) has, at the request of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"), amended the proposed stock option plan for Platino Energy Corp. ("Platino Energy") included at Appendix G to its Management Information Circular dated November 30, 2012.
