HOUSTON, June 30, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Index Oil and Gas Inc. (OTCBB:IXOG) ("Index" or the "Company") today provides information related to its resale registration statement (No. 333-137957, "Resale Registration Statement"). Upon the filing of its annual report on Form 10-K, the Company has halted sales under the Resale Registration Statement. Therefore, at this time, an investor may not complete a sale of securities by delivery of the prospectus which is a part of the Resale Registration Statement.
Under current Rule 144, as promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, any investor, who is not an affiliate of the Company (as that term is defined under the securities laws) and has not been an affiliate of the Company for the previous three months, may sell Securities without restriction if the investor has beneficially owned the securities for more than one year. Because all Securities listed in the Resale Registration Statement for "Selling Stockholders" were purchased more than one year before the date of this letter, the Company will instruct its transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer Company, to allow transfers by non-affiliate "Selling Stockholders" to occur for the securities under Rule 144. The Company does not intend to file an updated registration statement covering the Securities.
