ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
On June 28, 2000, CanArgo Energy Corporation (the "Registrant") sold
15,660,916 shares of the Registrant's Common Stock at NOK 9.00 per share
(approximately US$1.04 per share) based on the closing price of the Registrant's
stock on the Oslo Stock Exchange on June 27, 2000. Den norske Bank ASA, DnB
Markets, Orkla Enskilda Securities ASA and Sundal Collier & Co ASA acted as
placement agents for this transaction and received a success fee of 6.5% of the
gross proceeds of NOK 140,948,244 (approximately US$ 16,287,000).
The shares to be issued in connection with this placement were issued
under Regulation S of the Securities Act of the United States and have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered
or sold in the United States or to U.S. persons (as defined in such Regulation)
absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration.
On July 5, 2000, the Registrant announced the completion of the
purchase of a 21.2% interest in Ninotsminda Oil Company ("NOC") from JKX Oil &
Gas plc. Following the purchase, NOC is now a wholly owned subsidiary of
CanArgo. The consideration paid was US$4.5 million, through the issuance of
4,054,054 common shares of CanArgo at a deemed price of US$1.11 per share. The
share price, calculated at the time of negotiating the deal, was based on the 10
day weighted average trading price of CanArgo's common shares on the Oslo Stock
Exchange and the OTC Bulletin Board.
The shares to be issued in connection with this transaction were
issued under Regulation S of the Securities Act of the United States and have
not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be
offered or sold in the United States or to U.S. persons (as defined in such
Regulation) absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration.
On July 5, 2000, the Registrant announced the move of its corporate
office from Calgary, Canada to London, England. The office relocation is aimed
at refocusing administrative and support functions in conjunction with the
expansion of activities in the Caspian and more specifically in Georgia. The
move is expected to start in September 2000 and be complete by June 2001.
