Alpharetta, Georgia, Oct. 3, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On September 29, 2014, the Company and Hillair entered into an 8% Original Issue Discount Debenture for approximately $1.56 million. This debenture includes a warrant for Hillair topurchase 155,680,000 shares of Legend common stock for $.01 per share. Net proceeds from this financing were $1.3 million.
Warren Binderman, Legend's Chief Financial Officer notes that "this additional infusion by Hillair is a result of the significant accomplishments since the restructuring commenced in June 2014. In the last quarter we expended funds to drill a multitude of additional wells, significantly increased our production, acquired the Volunteer and Landers leases, and cleaned up the Company's financial statements-- placing Legend Energy Canada, Ltd., the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, into the Canadian bankruptcy Courts. Further, obtaining a release from the subsidiary's bank debt was a key component in obtaining funding from Hillair."
Andrew Reckles, Chief Executive Officer, states that "During the month of October, Legend anticipates at least 12 new wells coming on production. This new production will be from drilling programs on all three of our projects- Piqua, McCune and Landers/Volunteer. As of today, six (6) of those wells have been drilled, logged and perforated, and another deeper well has been drilled and logged. Weather and services permitting, we will have the aforementioned six (6) wells completed and on production by the end of next week, at which point we anticipate that two (2) additional deeper wells will have been drilled, logged and perforated. The deeper wells are on our newly acquired asset, the Landers and Volunteer leases and are drilling into the Bartlesville formation. We anticipate that we will begin drilling on an additional four (4) wells on either Piqua or McCune by mid month, once we've had an opportunity to assess the performance of the new wells that are scheduled to come on line next week. All in all. October is going to be a very important and very busy month for the company, and we are hopeful that we will add significant daily oil production to our current growing production base.
