New Issue: CanArgo raises $25 million in private placement of convertibles

By Sheri Kasprzak

Atlanta, June 9 - CanArgo Energy Corp. said it has received an agreement for the private placement of $25 million in secured loan notes.

The notes bear interest at 3% annually through Dec. 31, 2005; 10% annually throughout 2006 and 15% thereafter. The notes mature on June 30, 2009 and are convertible, in part, into common shares at $0.90 each.

The notes will be placed by the end of the month with current shareholder Ingalls & Snyder LLC.

The proceeds will be used to redeem a short-term loan note from Cornell Capital Partners LP. The remainder will be used to fund the development of a new gas project in the country of Georgia, to fund the development of a gas field in Kazakhstan and to provide working capital for development and appraisal activities in Georgia.

In other news, CanArgo said it plans to acquire Tethys Petroleum Investments Ltd.
