BNK Petroleum Inc. Announces Private Placement to Close in Two Tranches and Status of Subsidiary's Replacement Credit Facility

Camarillo California (ots/PRNewswire)

BNK Petroleum
Inc. (the "Company")  is pleased to announce that the TSX has
accepted notice of the previously announced CDN $66 million private
placement of shares with Quantum Partners LP and has conditionally
approved the listing of the 26 million shares to be issued in the
private placement.
The private placement will close in two tranches in order to
accommodate the time required to complete background checks required
by the TSX when a transaction results in a new insider. The first
tranche of 10,600,000 shares is expected to close before October
29th, 2010. The second tranche for the balance of the 26 million
shares will close, subject to satisfaction of any remaining
conditions within three business days of TSX confirmation that it has
cleared the relevant information. The Company intends to use the net
proceeds of the private placement for general corporate purposes,
including work commitments on its European shale gas concessions.
The Company is also pleased to report that definitive
documentation is near completion for the previously announced BNK
Petroleum (US) Inc. ("BNK US") replacement credit facility. BNK US is
the Company's indirect wholly-owned subsidiary which holds its US oil
and gas interests. The initial commitment amount of the new
revolving, reserves-based facility is expected to be US$20,000,000,
with a maximum commitment of US$100,000,000. The facility will
replace BNK US's existing facility that is anticipated to total
approximately CDN $23.5 million inclusive of accrued interest at
closing. The balance due of CDN $3.5 million will be paid from cash
on hand. The replacement facility will have a three year term and be
secured by the assets of BNK US and a guarantee of the Company.
Unlike the existing credit facility which requires monthly repayments
of principal based on a percentage of BNK US operating income, it is
expected that under the new facility BNK US will make monthly
payments of interest, with payments on account of principal required
only if the borrowing base (calculated based on BNK US oil and gas
reserves) were to be reduced. Interest is expected to be LIBOR or
base rate pricing plus an applicable margin subject to a minimum
interest rate of 4.25%. BNK US is continuing discussions with other
lenders to provide additional financing on substantially identical
terms that would increase the total size of the new facility from CDN
$20-million to CDN $23.8-million.
