ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
On August 5, 1999, PetroQuest Energy, Inc. announced the initial funding of a
private placement of 5 million units at a purchase price of US$1.00 per unit for
a total consideration of US$5,000,000 before fees and expenses. Of the total
consideration, US$4,000,000 has been received with the remaining funds expected
to be received within the next two weeks. The proceeds from the private
placement will be used for drilling and exploration costs, delay rentals on oil
and gas leases and working capital and general corporate purposes.
Each unit sold in the private placement consists of one share of the Company's
common stock and one warrant exercisable to purchase one-half a share of the
Company's common stock. Each warrant is exercisable at any time through the
fourth year after issuance to purchase one-half of a share of the Company's
common stock at a per share purchase price of US$1.25. In addition, the Company
has agreed to file a registration statement covering the resale of the Company's
common stock underlying the units and the shares of Company common stock
issuable on exercise of the warrants within 60 days after the closing of the
private placement. The securities offered pursuant to the private placement will
not be or have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be
offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable
exemption from registration requirements.
The foregoing includes certain statements that may be deemed to be
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included
in the foregoing that address activities, events or developments that the
Company expects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future,
including drilling of wells, reserve estimates, future production of oil and
gas, future cash flows and other such matters are forward-looking statements.
Such forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and
other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those
currently anticipated. These factors include, without limitation, uncertainties
inherent in estimating proven oil and gas reserves, future rates of production
and timing of development expenditures; results of exploratory and developmental
drilling; operating hazards attendant to the oil and gas business; the
successful identification, acquisition and development of properties; and
changes in the price received for oil and gas which may effect results of
operation and cash flows. Readers are cautioned that any such statements are not
guarantees of future performance and the Company can give no assurance that
actual results or developments will not differ materially from those projected
in the forward-looking statements.
