HOUSTON, May 17, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Lucas Energy, Inc. (NYSE Amex:LEI) (“Lucas”), an independent oil and gas company, announced today that the Securities and Exchange Commission has declared effective the Form S-3 resale Registration Statement that Lucas recently filed on May 2, 2011. Consequently, Lucas filed the related Final Prospectus on May 18, 2011. Lucas filed the Registration Statement in connection with its December 2010 offering to register the resale of the shares underlying the warrants which were sold in the offering.
The Registration Statement covers only the resale of shares of common stock underlying the warrants already outstanding, which were previously granted in the December 2010 offering, and no new shares, warrants or shares issuable in the future are being offered or registered through the Final Prospectus and related Form S-3 filing.
“The December 2010 offering, which raised .45 million in net proceeds, provided us funding for drilling and acquisitions during the quarter ended March 31, 2011, through shares sold and warrants granted, at or above market (at the time of the offering),” commented William A. Sawyer, President and CEO of Lucas Energy, who continued, “We believe that the additional potential capital represented by the warrants, if and when exercised for cash (approximately .7 million), will allow Lucas to expand its operations and allow for the drilling of additional wells in the Eagle Ford Trend as well as providing Lucas with sufficient capital for its 2011-12 programs.”
