Landdrill Announces $9 Million in New Financings

MONCTON, NB, March 20, 2012 /CNW/ - Landdrill International Inc. (TSXV: LDI) ("Landdrill" or the "Company"), announces two new financings along with the restructuring of an existing debt obligation geared at improving the Company's cash position.

In the first financing the Company has arranged for an $8 million loan (the "Bridge Loan") and the net proceeds will be used to temporarily retire their current operating line of credit with the net $4 million being an increase to cash, thereby providing the necessary support for the significant growth to the Company's working capital assets.  Pursuant to the terms of the Bridge Loan, the Company will provide the new lender with security interests on its assets.  As consideration, the Company has agreed to issue the lender 4,600,000 common share purchase warrants whereby each warrant permits the lender to acquire a common share in the capital of the Company at an exercise price of $0.24 per share for a period of 36 months for the date of issuance.  After the anniversary of the closing date, Landdrill may repay the Bridge Loan at any time without penalty.

The Company has agreed to issue to the broker of the Bridge Loan $160,000 worth of common stock of the Company based on the 10 day volume weighted average price ("VWAP") of its Shares on the TSXV.

The Company has restructured the terms and security of an existing equipment lender (the "Equipment Loan").  In consideration for the amendments to their security agreement, Landdrill will increase its monthly repayment amount for the remainder of the term of the Equipment Loan and the Company has agreed to issue the Equipment Loan lender $100,000 of the Company's common stock, based on the 10 day VWAP its shares on the TSXV.

In the second financing, the Company has secured a $1.2 million working capital loan with a Canadian equipment lender.  The Company expects to close this loan prior to the end of March.

Ron Goguen, Sr., the President and CEO of Landdrill said, "The new financings ensure that Landdrill has sufficient cash in order to comfortably operate at its current record level of activity.  After completing the current year, the Company will be positioned to re-instate their revolving line of credit and repay the Bridge Loan".

The foregoing transactions from the first financing are expected to close on or about Tuesday, March 20, 2012 and are subject to TSXV approval in accordance with TSXV policy.
