FALCON OIL & GAS LTD. ANNOUNCES COMPLETION OF PRIVATE PLACEMENT
Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd. has completed its private placement, the details of which
were previously announced in Stockwatch on Nov. 24, 2010. The company issued a total of 87,049,999 units at an issuance price of 15 cents per unit
(each unit consisting of one common share in the capital of Falcon and
three-quarters of one common share purchase warrant) for total gross proceeds of $13,057,500.
Each whole common share purchase
warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share of Falcon at an
additional purchase price of 18 cents per share for a period of 36
months from the date of issuance. Subject to applicable securities
legislation, a total of 44,533,333 common shares and 33.4 million
common share purchase warrants are subject to a hold period until June
11, 2011, and a total of 42,516,666 common shares and 31,887,500
common share purchase warrants are subject to a hold period until
Aug. 9, 2011. The private placement remains subject to final approval
from the TSX Venture Exchange.
Existing major shareholders of Falcon participated in the private
placement. They were joined by members of management and the board of
directors of Falcon, which together accounted for approximately 46.5 per cent
of the total proceeds raised.
Delays were experienced in fulfilling certain TSX-V filing requirements,
mainly as a result of the diverse corporate jurisdictions of a number
of the investors. The proposed new investors described in the press
release in Stockwatch dated Nov. 24, 2010, were unable to fulfill their
requirements under the terms of the private placement, including
obtaining the requisite foreign exchange approval of the People's
Republic of China. Robert Macaulay, chief executive officer of Falcon, commented: "The
efforts on the part of the China-based investors who intended to invest
are appreciated and our relationships with them remain cordial and open
to future business opportunities.
"I am gratified that our existing major shareholders continue to
demonstrate their support of the company's tremendous potential and
with the substantial participation on the part of our management and
directors. This funding secures our plans to fully test the Shenandoah
well in Australia while continuing to evaluate our properties in
Hungary and South Africa."
Mueller & Co. LLC acted as financial adviser to Falcon in connection
with the private placement transaction and received a finder's fee in
the amount of $149,100.
We seek Safe Harbor.
