CUBIC ENERGY, INC. ANNOUNCES FINANCING AND ACQUISITION TRANSACTIONS Cubic Energy, Inc. announced today that is has closed a financing for $2.575 million and entered into a letter of intent to acquire a 25% interest in the Kraemer 24 #1 well located in the Bethany-Longstreet play of Northern Louisiana. The Company issued $2,575,000 worth of Senior Secured Convertible Notes to a group of institutional and high net worth investors. These notes pay an annual interest rate of 7% and can convert into common stock at a price of $0.50 per share. These investors also received five year stock purchase warrants to purchase an additional 2,575,000 shares of common stock at a price of $1.00 per share. Proceeds from this placement will be put immediately to work in further development of the Bethany-Longstreet play, including spudding two additional wells before the end of the year. C. K. Cooper & Company of Irvine, California served as Placement Agent on this transaction. Concurrently with the financing, the Company also entered into a letter of intent to acquire a 25% interest in the Bethany-Longstreet play through a combination of cash and stock. The Company intends to issue up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock to acquire a 25% interest in the existing Kraemer 24 #1 well from Caravel Resources 2003-II LP. Furthermore, Cubic will pay $1,080,000 in cash for a 25% interest in the remaining leasehold covering 8 sections in the play. The acquisition of the Kraemer 24 #1 interest from Caravel Resources 2003-II, LP is scheduled to close in 10 days. Commenting on these transactions,
Calvin Wallen, III stated; ”We believe that these assets in Northern
Louisiana have the potential to transform Cubic Energy into a significant
energy company. We anticipate a very active drilling schedule through
the remainder of the year to prove up as much reserve potential as we
can. Given recent transactions and discoveries in the area, we view
these acquisitions as being very favorable.” This press release includes statements, which may constitute "forward-looking" statements, usually containing the words "believe", "estimate", "project", "expect", or similar expressions.
