NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO US NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION TO THE UNITED STATES
CALGARY, Dec. 9, 2011 /CNW/ - Palliser Oil & Gas Corporation (TSX-V:PXL) ("Palliser" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce that, in addition to its previously announced offering on a "bought deal" basis of common shares (the "Common Shares") of Palliser (the "Brokered Common Shares") and Common Shares to be issued on a "flow-through" basis pursuant to the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Brokered Flow-Through Shares") for aggregate gross proceeds of $6,500,081 (the "Brokered Offering"), the Corporation intends to issue, on a non-brokered, private placement basis, up to an additional 650,000 Common Shares on a "flow-through" basis pursuant to the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Non-Brokered Flow-Through Shares") at an issue price of $0.77 per Non-Brokered Flow-Through Share, for aggregate proceeds of $500,500 (the "Private Placement").
It is expected that insiders of the Company will subscribe for approximately 40% of the Non-Brokered Flow-Through Shares pursuant to the Private Placement. Although such subscriptions fall within the definition of a "related party transaction" pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"), there is an available exemption from the formal valuation and securityholder approval requirements of MI 61-101.
The price of the Non-Brokered Flow-Through Shares is the same as the price of the Brokered Flow-Through Shares and the Private Placement is expected to close concurrently with the Brokered Offering on December 23, 2011, but no later than December 31, 2011.
The Private Placement is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals, including the approval of the TSXV, and other applicable securities regulatory authorities.
