Regulation FD Disclosure. |
January 2, 2009 — Guernsey, British Isles — CanArgo Energy Corporation (“CanArgo” or the
“Company”) (OSE: CNR, AMEX:CNR) today announced that interest payments of US$868,000 in aggregate
due on December 31, 2008 on CanArgo’s senior subordinated and subordinated convertible debt, held
by certain accredited investors arranged by Ingalls & Snyder LLC and Persistency Capital LLC (the
“Noteholders”), were not paid. Under the terms of the respective Note Purchase Agreements under
which such debt was incurred the failure to pay such interest payments becomes an event of default
after the expiration of a five business day grace period and such debt becomes accelerated upon
receipt of a notice of default from the Noteholders. To date, no such notices have been received
by the Company. The Company is currently engaged in discussions with the Noteholders aimed at
resolving the situation.
CanArgo is an independent oil and gas exploration and production company with its oil and gas
operations currently located in Georgia.
