TIME IS SHORT PLEASE VOTE YOUR SHARES TODAY!
February 2, 2012
Dear Toreador
Stockholder:
With less than two weeks time until the special meeting to approve the proposed merger between Toreador and ZaZa Energy,
LLC, it is very important that you vote your shares today. The special meeting is scheduled for February 15, 2012.
Please Vote Your Toreador Shares Today!
Regardless of the number of shares you own your vote is very important. Approval of the merger requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of all of the outstanding shares of Toreador common
stock. The failure to vote will have the same effect as a vote against the merger. Please return the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided. You may also vote your shares by telephone or internet by following the instructions on
the proxy card.
The board of directors of Toreador unanimously supports the combination of Toreador and ZaZa and recommends that you vote
FOR the approval of the merger agreement.
The top three proxy advisory services, ISS, Glass Lewis and Egan Jones have all
recommended a vote FOR on all Proposals at the special meeting. Egan Jones in its report noted it, views the proposed transaction to be a desirable approach in maximizing shareholder value.
Since August 9, 2011, the trading day prior to the announcement of the proposed merger with ZaZa Energy, LLC, Toreadors common stock price has
increased over 45%.
The combination of Toreador and ZaZa is expected to have compelling strategic and financial benefits to the combined
company and its stockholders. As Glass Lewis noted in its report, The merger of Toreador and ZaZa will create a larger, more diversified oil and gas company with exposure to the Paris Basin in France and the Eagle Ford and related areas in the
U.S. The combined company is also expected to have significantly greater production capacity and output and benefit from a strengthened operations team.
