By Sheri Kasprzak

New York, Jan. 25 - Tidelands Oil & Gas Corp. said it pocketed $5,396,098 in proceeds from the private placement of $6,569,750 in convertible debentures.

The zero-coupon debentures, priced at 82, mature on Jan. 20, 2008 and are convertible into shares at $0.87 each.

A group of seven institutional investors led by Palisades Master Fund, LP purchased the discounted debentures.

The investors received series A warrants for 2,491,974 shares, exercisable at $0.935 each through Jan. 20, 2009. Tidelands may force the exercise of the warrants if the volume-weighted average price of the company's stock exceeds 250% of the strike price for 20 consecutive trading days.

The investors also received series B warrants for 7,551,432 shares, exercisable at $1.275 each through Feb. 19, 2007.

HPC Capital Management LLC was the placement agent.
