Computershare Trust Company, N.A., the disbursing agent for the tender offer, has advised that a total of approximately 35,244,824 Shares were validly tendered and not withdrawn (including approximately 802,359 Shares subject to guaranteed delivery) prior to the expiration of the initial offering period, representing approximately 84.62% of the outstanding Shares. In accordance with the terms of the tender offer, PLLL Acquisition Co. accepted for payment all Shares that were validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration of the tender offer, and payment for such Shares will be made promptly in accordance with the terms of the tender offer.

PLLL Acquisition Co. and PLLL Holdings, LLC announced today that they would make available a subsequent offering period commencing immediately and expiring on Thursday, October 29, 2009 at 5:00 p.m., New York City time for all the Shares not tendered into the offer prior to the initial expiration date. During the subsequent offering period, PLLL Acquisition Co. will accept for payment and promptly pay for the Shares as they are tendered. Stockholders who tender Shares during such period will receive the same $3.15 per Share price, without interest and subject to applicable withholding taxes, that was paid in the tender offer. Procedures for tendering Shares during the subsequent offering period are the same as during the initial offering period with two exceptions: (1) Shares cannot be delivered by the guaranteed delivery procedure and (2) pursuant to Rule 14d-7(a)(2) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, Shares tendered during the subsequent offer period may not be withdrawn.

In such case, PLLL Holdings, LLC and Parallel would effect the merger in accordance with the short-form merger provisions of the Delaware General Corporate Law, without prior notice to, or any action by, any Parallel stockholder.

As a result of the purchase of Shares in the tender offer, PLLL Holdings, LLC has sufficient voting power to approve the merger without the affirmative vote of any other Parallel stockholder. In the merger, each Share not previously purchased in the tender offer will be converted, subject to appraisal rights, into the right to receive the same $3.15 per Share price, without interest and subject to applicable withholding taxes, that was paid in the tender offer. After the merger, Parallel will be a wholly owned subsidiary of PLLL Holdings, LLC and Parallel’s common stock will cease to be traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market.

People buying @2.07 2.08! Nice day!

INM oil is the thing that the world still moves on. If you read my posts you can see I am invested in several Green companys but If can take some profits from Oil and invest it Green so be it. IMO if you believe in Black Gold, Texas Tea and Jed then this is not a bad bet at all.

INM nice day your doing a great job!
All those reserves are just gaining more value and when they get done with the extraction deals who knows?$$$

I think next week we start to move up!

Correction maybe but no dip this will
follow the trend and oil will survive!
PS: I do not care for paying greater prices but as OIL continues to go up this could make a $1000.00 into $2000.00 quick! IMHO

PLLL has stayed strong with the recent dip in oil prices. Some time in the near term we will get a spike in prices for oil.
Cheers!

They already have OIL and..
are working with another company to bring up more with a share agreement. Watch the BRT charts in the I box. As it rebounds so goes PLLL the value of their reserves only will increase in value in the future IMHO!

Good post yes oil will go higher
We might as well make some money on the stock so we can pay it back at the pump LOL!

Credit Crunch Will Lead to Oil Shock: Consultant
ENERGY, NORTH AMERICA, MIDDLE EAST, OIL, RECESSION, ARAMCO, IEA, INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY, OPEC
Reuters | 26 Mar 2009 | 07:13 AM ET
The global financial crisis and collapse in the oil market have stalled vital investment in oil exploration and production and are likely soon to lead to a sharp spike in prices, an energy consultant and financier says.


Matt Simmons, founder of Houston-based investment bank Simmons & Co, argues the underlying rate of decline of the world's ageing oilfields is as much as 20 percent a year and only high levels of investment can reduce that to single digits.

With credit tight and oil prices almost $100 a barrel below their highs last year, oil companies are unable to sustain previous levels of spending and the result is falling production, he said in an interview on Thursday.

"We are three, six, maybe nine months away from a price shock. We are not talking about three to five years away -- it will be much sooner," Simmons told Reuters in London.

"These prices now are dangerously low. The lower prices fall, the less oil will be produced and the greater the chance of an oil spike," he said.


Oil prices hit record highs of almost $150 per barrel last July but have tumbled since then as the global economic downturn has cut energy consumption by consumers and companies alike.

Prices have rallied from lows below $35 a barrel in December to above $50 but remain well below what many oil companies and producing countries say they need to invest in new production.

Simmons is a proponent of the "peak oil" theory, and has argued for years that world oil output is in irreversible decline because oil industry infrastructure is getting too old.

He says the cost of rebuilding the oil industry is colossal: "The industry's asset base is beyond its original design life."

Twilight in the Desert

Simmons' 2005 best-seller "Twilight in the Desert, The Coming Saudi Oil Shock and the World Economy," argued oil output from the Middle East's biggest supplier was reaching an apex and would soon decline, ending forever the era of cheap oil.

Saudi Arabian oil company Aramco and many other analysts strongly disagreed with that thesis, saying Simmons exaggerated the rate of decline of older oilfields.


Cambridge Energy Research Associates last year put the rate of decline of the world's oilfields at just 4-5 percent a year.

But Simmons' concerns over the impact of the credit crisis and the dramatic fall in oil prices are shared by many other, more conservative bodies, including the International Energy Agency (IEA), which advises 28 industrialized nations.

IEA Deputy Executive Director Richard Jones warned the oil market this week that so far as much as 2 million barrels per day (bpd) of new upstream capacity due to come on stream had been deferred for now due to lack of funds and low oil prices.

The IEA is also worried recent cuts in oil production by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries in an attempt to bolster prices have left oil inventories dangerously low, leaving little room for maneuver when oil demand recovers.

Simmons says many OPEC oil producers will find it difficult to bring output back to previous levels once prices recover.

"When you have an old oilfield whose flow is being maintained by extremely high levels of investment and you reduce production, you rarely if ever get back to where it was."

Because of this and natural declines in output, oil use may not need to rise much before production fails to meet demand.

"Unless oil demand falls by 10 or 15 percent per annum, which it is not going to do, then we don't need to wait for oil demand to come back before we have a supply crunch," he said.

"Within a few months, we are going to realize our visible inventories are really tight -- squeaky tight -- and what would really be inconvenient is to see a recovery in the economy."

Yes watch the BRT chart it makes the oil worth more!

Great day to add some shares while the market in general consolidates. Down on very low volume so far.

Cheers!

Yes we should invest in the money well done!

I actually sold a few of my Goldcorp shares (GG) today to grab hold of a few PLLL Shares. Not something I do easily. Very bullish on Parallel Petroleum for the short and long term. Oil and Natural gas will continue to be in High demand for years to come!

CHEERS!

PLLL will be over $2.00 next week. Oil is set to move close to $60.00 very soon.

Cheers!!

Cheers!

$5.00 easy money here! Go Oil!

Yes! A great day! There is big money to be made here with PLLL. Only a couple hundred or a few thousand shares is still going to make an excellent GAIN!!
We should see another move up with energy prices before the summer and all these oversold cheap oil and gas stocks are going to move very quickly.
PLLL is way too cheap down here!!
I think $6.00 - $8.00 in the short term is coming for PLLL.

Cheers
