/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/
CALGARY, March 29 /CNW/ - Kallisto Energy Corp. (TSX Venture: KEC) (formerly Arrow Energy Ltd. - AOF) ("Kallisto" or the "Company") today announced that it has closed on the previously announced private placement of up to 10,000,000 common shares at a price of $0.60 per common share (the "Offering"). Due to over-subscription, Kallisto increased the size of the Offering and issued a total of 12,498,266 commons shares for gross proceeds of $7,498,959.80 in closings that took place on March 23, 2010, March 25, 2010 and March 26, 2010. The Company paid finder's fees to each of Acumen Capital Partners ("Acumen"), Canaccord Financial Ltd. ("Canaccord") and CIBC World Markets ("CIBC") in the amount of 6% on subscriptions introduced to the Company. A total of $159,588 in fees was paid: $10,800 to CIBC; $13,302 to Acumen; and $135,486 to Canaccord. The common shares issued in connection with the Offering are subject to a hold period under applicable securities laws of four months, expiring on July 24, 2010, July 26, 2010 or July 27, 2010. Following completion of the Offering, Kallisto has 29,274,203 common shares outstanding.
In addition, the Company announces that as a result of a joint venture with two industry partners and the acquisition of petroleum and natural gas rights at the March 24, 2010 Alberta land sale, the Company now has approximately 3,000 net hectares on an emerging light oil resource play similar to the Pembina area Cardium horizontal well play currently being developed. The Company and its joint venture partners are finalizing a development plan and expect to drill several wells during 2010 to prove up the play.
Finally, the Company's fourth Cardium horizontal oil well in its Pembina, Alberta area, located at 13-33-047-3 W5, has been tied in and was placed on production March 10. As with the Company's reporting of production from the first three Pembina wells, production rates from this well will not be released by the Company until stable rates have been achieved. However, the well is performing up to Company expectations and is similar to the early production history of the first three wells the Company drilled on its 30% interest lands.
Kallisto is a Calgary-based junior resource company engaged in the exploration, development and production of oil and natural gas primarily in Alberta.
