"Shelton Petroleum’s exploration program in Bashkiria has been a success. We have found oil in our first two wells. There is considerable interest in our share and the capital raising gives us the opportunity to commence oil production in Russia this summer. This will complement the oil production already in place at the Lelyaki field near Poltava in Ukraine,” says Robert Karlsson, CEO of Shelton Petroleum.

On 21 June, the Board of Directors announced a private placement of 40 – 50 million shares. There has been significant interest in the share and the Board has today resolved to complete a private placement of 50 million shares, leading to a dilution of approximately 12 per cent based on shares outstanding. The bookbuilt offering was priced at SEK 0.60 per share and raises SEK 30 million before issue costs. The shares will be issued to qualified investors and certain other selected investors. The issue of shares will be based on the authorization resolved by the Annual General Meeting held on 17 May 2010.

The new shares are expected be distributed and tradable on the NGM stock exchange no later than mid-July. Shelton Petroleum has previously resolved to apply to seek a listing of its share on NASDAQ OMX Nordic Main Market.

Carnegie Investment Bank AB has acted as financial advisor in the private placement.
