Westside Energy Approved for American Stock Exchange Listing HOUSTON, June 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Westside Energy Corporation (OTC:WEGC) (BULLETIN BOARD: WEGC) today announced that the American Stock Exchange approved Westside Energy's application for listing the Company's common stock. This approval is contingent upon Westside Energy being in compliance with all applicable listing standards on the date it begins trading on the Exchange, and may be rescinded if the Company is not in compliance with such standards. Shares of Westside Energy's common stock will begin trading on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol "WHT" on or about June 20, 2005. Keith D. Spickelmier, Westside Energy Chairman of the Board, said: "This is a momentous event for Westside Energy. When we began formulating our long-term strategy for Westside, we did envision the Company being listed on a major North American stock exchange. It is a testament to the efforts of many -- our employees, the Company's board of directors, investors, investment bankers, partners and consultants -- that we have achieved this important milestone as quickly as we have. We will endeavor to stay the course of creating shareholder value and building Westside into a top-tier independent oil and gas company." Jimmy D. Wright, Westside Energy President and Chief Executive Officer, said: "We believe that our listing on the American Stock Exchange will increase investor interest in our common stock and result in greater visibility within the investment community. In addition, listing on a national exchange should further enhance our credibility with both existing and new joint venture partners, as we execute our strategies in the number one producing natural gas field in Texas, the Barnett Shale play." About Westside Energy Corporation Houston-based Westside Energy is an oil and gas company focused on exploiting its 68,271 gross (65,548 net) acres in the prolific Barnett Shale trend in North Texas.
