NGS secured a $4.8 million loan facility from Prospect Energy Corporation and used part of it to buy the Chadco oil and gas properties in the Tullos Urania and Colgrade fields for $3.0 million, also refinancing Chairman Cagan's earlier bridge loan.
NGS terminated its stock-swap agreement with UK-based Seaside Investments after Seaside failed to secure a London Stock Exchange listing by the deadline, unwinding the planned share exchange and cancelling the escrowed shares.
NGS clarified in an amended filing that no separate audited financial statements were required for its 2004 Tullos Urania acquisition, closing out an open disclosure item from the original filing.
Natural Gas Systems agreed to a share exchange with UK investment firm Seaside Investments, issuing 1 million NGS shares for up to 1.48 million Seaside shares, contingent on Seaside completing a London Stock Exchange listing.
NGS made its first oil and gas acquisition as a newly public company, buying a 100% working interest in producing wells at the Tullos Urania Field in Louisiana for $725,000, partly bridge-financed by Chairman Laird Cagan.
Natural Gas Systems (later renamed Evolution Petroleum) became a public company through a reverse merger into shell company Reality Interactive, with NGS shareholders taking over about 96% of the stock and NGS's Robert Herlin becoming CEO. This reverse merger is the origin of the company's public listing.
