ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
THE FOLLOWING STATEMENTS WERE RELEASED TO THE PRESS ON JULY 30, 2001
PETROQUEST ENERGY ANNOUNCES FILING OF A $100 MILLION
UNIVERSAL SHELF REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Lafayette, Louisiana - July 30, 2001 - PetroQuest Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: PQUE)
announced today that it has filed a shelf registration statement with the
Securities and Exchange Commission that became effective at 5:00 p.m. EDT on
July 27, 2001. The shelf registration statement was filed as an amendment to
replace the registration statement previously filed with the Commission on June
27, 2001. Up to $100 million of common stock, preferred stock, depositary
shares, warrants or debt securities may be sold from time to time under the
shelf registration statement in one or more offerings on terms and conditions to
be determined at the time of the offering.
The Company expects to use the proceeds from any such offerings for general
corporate purposes, which may include capital expenditures, working capital,
repayment or refinancing of indebtedness, acquisitions and repurchases and
redemptions of securities.
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of
an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or
country in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to
registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or
country. Any offer of these securities will be made solely by means of the
prospectus included in the Company's shelf registration statement and any
prospectus supplement that may be issued in respect of any such offering.
PetroQuest Energy, Inc. is an independent oil and gas exploration and production
company primarily focused on growing its reserves and shareholder value through
a combination of drilling development locations and high potential exploration
prospects along the coast of and in the Gulf of Mexico.
This press release contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of
section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements
are subject to certain risks, trends and uncertainties that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those projected. Among those risks, trends and
uncertainties are our estimate of the sufficiency of our existing capital
sources, our ability to raise additional capital to fund cash requirements for
future operations, the uncertainties involved in estimating quantities of proved
oil and natural gas reserves and in projecting future rates of production, the
timing of development expenditures and the operating hazards attendant to the
oil and gas business. In particular, careful consideration should be given to
cautionary statements made in the various reports PetroQuest has filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. PetroQuest undertakes no duty to update or
revise these forward-looking statements.
