Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

On November 11, 2010, Triangle Petroleum Corporation (the “Company”) announced that the underwriters of its recent public offering of common stock have fully exercised their over-allotment option, resulting in the issuance of an additional 1,620,000 shares of common stock. The option was granted in connection with the public offering of 10,800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a public offering price of $5.50 per share, which closed on November 10, 2010. Including the exercise of the over-allotment option, the net proceeds to the Company after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses are expected to be approximately $62.6 million. The public offering was underwritten by Johnson Rice & Company L.L.C., as sole book-running manager, and Canaccord Genuity Inc. and Rodman & Renshaw, LLC, as co-managers.
