Transaction Highlights The Company raised US$18.5 million of gross proceeds through the issuance of: (i) 17,000 US$1,000 face value Debentures issued with a 8.8235% OID at a price of US$911.76 per Debenture for gross proceeds of US$17.0 million (net proceeds of US$15.5 million ) and (ii) 30.0 million Shares at a price of CAD$0.07 ( US$0.05 ) per Share for additional gross proceeds of CAD$2.1 million ( US$1.5 million ).

Net proceeds of approximately US$22.0 million from the Transaction were used to repay and retire the Company's US$12.9 million existing senior credit facility in full and the balance will be used for development capital, including for the completion of two drilled uncompleted wells in Gwinville and further drilling on the Company's existing asset base, and general working capital and corporate purposes.
