Stream Oil & Gas Closes $10 Million Non-Brokered Private Placement
Company Completes Acceleration of Warrants
CALGARY, Nov. 29 /CNW/ - Stream Oil & Gas Ltd. (TSX-V: SKO) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced $10 million non-brokered private placement. The Company issued 6,500,000 Units at a price of $1.50 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company (a "Common Share") and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire an additional Common Share at an exercise price of $2.00 per Warrant during the first 12 month period following closing of the private placement, and at an exercise price of $2.50 per Warrant during the subsequent 12 month period.
Stream has the right to force the exercise of the warrants at any time if the shares trade at $2.75 or higher over a 20 consecutive day period for the first 12 month period and at $3.75 or higher over a 20 consecutive day period for the second 12 month period. All securities issued in connection with the private placement are subject to a statutory hold period to March 25, 2011 in accordance with applicable securities legislation.
Finders fees were paid in the amount of 387,168 warrants, which is approximately 6% of the total units sold in the private placement. Each finders warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one Unit at $1.50 per Unit, which have the same terms as the Units issued under the private placement. Finders warrants expire November 24, 2012, subject to accelerated expiry provisions as applicable to the Warrants forming part of the Units.
The net proceeds of the private placement will be used for Stream's production and development activities on its properties in Albania and for general working capital purposes.
"Demand for the private placement significantly exceeded the number of units available, and we are grateful for the confidence expressed by investors in the Company and its potential," said Dr. Sotiris Kapotas, President and CEO "These funds will be used to initiate the acceleration of our development program and begin testing of secondary recovery technologies. Our growth plans are progressing with the take over of the entire Gorisht field anticipated before the end of December."

Stream successfully completed the acceleration of its 2010 warrants on November 4, 2010, as previously announced on October 12, 2010. An aggregate of 1,652,135 warrants were exercised at a payment price of $0.55, resulting in aggregate proceeds of $0.9 million to the Company.
