Here's another interesting news release by HTP... It looks to me like Mr. Busby made out like a "bandit" on the $10 million private placement. Does anyone know what the second paragraph means? The directors and management of Hilton Petroleum Ltd. announced that further to the news release of January 11, 1999, the company has completed the statutory plan of arrangement pursuant to which Hilton has acquired all of the outstanding shares of Stanford Oil & Gas Ltd. on the basis of 0.5263 common shares of Hilton (the "Hilton Shares") for each Stanford Common Share. The Hilton Shares are listed on the Vancouver Stock Exchange, as an "Advanced" company. The Stanford Shares were delisted effective the close of business on March 31, 1999. As a result of the Arrangement, Stanford is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hilton. The Company has 18,382,792 common shares outstanding after this transaction. The company will not be proceeding with the proposed acquisition of a 25% interest in the Seminole prospect. As a result of this Arrangement, Mr. D. Busby, through his wholly-owned private company, Boone Petroleum Inc., has acquired 992,980 common shares of the company and now holds directly or indirectly 2,893,487 common shares representing 15.7% of the issued and outstanding shares. Mr. Busby also acquired warrants to purchase 686,032 common shares, options to purchase 197,489 common shares and a debenture convertible Into 864,075 common shares. In aggregate, Mr. Busby holds warrants to purchase 1,140,406 common shares, a debenture convertible into 864,075 common shares and options to purchase 382,189 common shares. No person acts jointly or in concert with Mr. Busby in connection with this acquisition of company shares. The purchase was made for investment purposes.
