New Issue: Ivanhoe Energy completes $18.25 million private placement of special warrants

By Sheri Kasprzak

New York, Nov. 15 - Ivanhoe Energy Inc. said it has concluded a private placement for $18.25 million.

The company sold 11,196,330 special warrants at $1.63 each to four investors.

The special warrants are exchangeable on a one-for-one basis for units of one share and one warrant. The warrants are exercisable at $2.50 each for two years.

The special warrants will be converted once Ivanhoe completes its acquisition of a joint venture interest in a strategic asset.

As part of the financing, the holder of $8 million in outstanding convertible loans subscribed for special warrants enough to retire half of the principal balance of the loans. The investor also extended the maturity on the 8% loan until Nov. 15, 2007. The investor also received warrants for 2 million shares, exercisable at $2.00 each through Nov. 15, 2007.

Of the proceeds, $6.75 million was used to acquire one-half of a joint venture company which owns the RTP Commercial Demonstration Facility.

Ivanhoe, based in Vancouver, B.C., is an oil and natural gas exploration company.
