Tortoise Capital Resources Corp. Announces Filing of Resale
Registration Statement
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
OVERLAND PARK, Kan. - May 11, 2007 - Tortoise Capital Resources Corp. (NYSE:
TTO) today announced that the company filed a resale registration statement
covering securities issued in private placements prior to the company's initial
public offering (IPO).
The securities registered for resale are the common stock and warrants issued by
the company in December 2005 and January 2006 in the company's initial private
placement, the warrants issued in December 2006, and the common stock issuable
upon exercise of the warrants.
The company will not receive any proceeds from the securities registered for
resale, other than cash consideration in connection with the exercise of the
warrants.
"While we do not expect a significant amount of these securities to be sold
immediately once the registration statement becomes effective, we believe it is
appropriate to provide the same level of market access to our pre-IPO investors
that is currently enjoyed by those who purchased our stock in the IPO," said
Tortoise Capital Resources President, Ed Russell.
