DALLAS, TX - Cubic Energy, Inc. (OTCBB:QBIK) (“Cubic” or the “Company”) announces today that it closed on a $25 million credit facility with Wells Fargo Energy Capital. The facility consists of a revolving credit agreement of $20 million and a convertible term loan of $5 million. The revolving credit agreement is subject to a borrowing base, initially set at $4 million, and is subject to review on a semi-annual basis beginning September 1, 2007. The convertible term loan of $5 million is convertible into 5 million shares of Cubic Common Stock at a conversion price of $1 per share. The indebtedness under both the revolver and the term loan accrues interest payable monthly at a rate of prime plus 2%. The facilities, if not renewed, will expire on March 1, 2010. The proceeds from the convertible term loan, together with existing cash on hand, will be used to repay the Company’s existing 12.5% senior debt. The proceeds from the revolving credit facility will be used in the Company’s existing development program and to fund Cubic’s share of additional Cotton Valley/Hosston wells in the Company’s Bethany Longstreet acreage. In connection with the borrowing, Cubic also issued to Wells Fargo warrants, with 5 year expiration, for the purchase of up to 2.5 million shares of Cubic Common Stock at an exercise price of $1 per share and issued a net profits interest in the Company’s Louisiana acreage equal up to 5% of Cubic’s net interest. “Having the financial backing of a senior lender with the reputation and strength of Wells Fargo Energy Capital provides us with the ability to move forward.” James L. Busby, CFO further states, “This will allow us to create substantial value for our shareholders through the development of our Louisiana properties”.
