SHERIDAN, WY--(Marketwire - May 9, 2008) - Zulu Energy Corp. (
The transaction, which consisted of eight million shares of common stock and eight million warrants exercisable at $1.50 per share, resulted in net proceeds to the Company after fees and expenses of approximately $7.0 million. The warrants will not be exercisable until the Company amends its articles of incorporation to increase its authorized shares of common stock. The Company has granted registration rights to the investors in the private placement.
Paul Stroud, president and CEO of Zulu Energy, said the capital infusion is a major milestone in the Company's plans to develop its properties in northeastern Botswana. The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Nyati Botswana, owns exploration licenses covering 2.2 million acres in the Kalahai Karoo Basin.
"This capital infusion enables us to proceed with establishing our operational infrastructure and commencing initial exploratory work in Botswana," said Stroud.
