SYNTHOLENE ENERGY CORP. UPSIZES PRIVATE PLACEMENT TO $2.0 MILLION AND ANNOUNCES CLOSING OF FIRST TRANCHE

Syntholene Energy Corp., due to strong investor demand, has upsized its previously announced non-brokered private placement offering to $2.0-million and has successfully closed the first tranche of the financing for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $1.19-million.

The financing now consists of up to 4,444,444 units of the company at a price of 45 cents per unit for gross proceeds of up to $2.0-million. Each unit will consist of one common share of the company and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one common share at an exercise price of 63 cents for a period of two years from the date of issuance of the warrant, subject to an acceleration provision in accordance with the terms of the warrant. The financing may be closed in one or more additional tranches.

Under the first tranche of the financing, the company issued an aggregate of 2,648,888 units at a price of 45 cents per unit for gross proceeds of approximately $1.19-million. The company intends to use the proceeds of the financing for future testing and production at the company's demonstration facility in Husavik, Iceland, and for general working capital.

In connection with first tranche of the financing, the company paid cash finders' fees of approximately $8,200 and issued 12,000 finders' warrants to certain arm's-length finders. Each finder's warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one common share at an exercise price of 45 cents for a period of two years from the date of issuance of the finder's warrant.

The units issued pursuant to the financing, the finders' warrants, and any common shares underlying the warrants and finders' warrants, will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance, in accordance with applicable securities laws. Completion of the financing remains subject to the receipt of all required regulatory approvals, including approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
