PRB GAS TRANSPORTATION, INC. COMPLETES $22 MILLION PRIVATE PLACEMENT OF SENIOR SUBORDINATED CONVERTIBLE NOTES

 

Denver, Colorado – February 6, 2006PRB Gas Transportation, Inc. (“PRB” or the “Company”) (AMEX:PRB) today announced that it has completed a private placement of approximately $22 million of Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes (the “Notes”).  To date, the Company has closed on approximately $19 million with approximately $3 million of commitments expected to be received in the next few days.

 

The Notes bear interest at 10% per annum that is payable quarterly in arrears.  PRB intends to register the underlying common stock in respect to the Notes within 90 days following the closing of the transaction.  After the securities are registered, the notes can be converted at the holders’ option any time for a maximum of approximately 3.1 million shares of PRB common stock at $7.00 per share.  The term of the Notes is 30 months however; the private placement call provision enables PRB to retire the Notes if its common stock trades at 200% of the conversion price for a period of 10 consecutive trading days.

 

Robert W. Wright, PRB’s Chairman & CEO noted, “We’ve got the people, prospects and now the financing in place to execute our very ambitious capital program for 2006.  With these funds plus our current cash position and our bank lines that are being negotiated, we are able to proceed with our $30 million capital plan that includes a $21 million exploration and production program and $9 million for gas gathering projects.”
