    "The USD 267,000,000 convertible bond 'bought deal' entered into with
Canaccord Adams Limited and J. P. Morgan Securities Ltd. complements the
Project Debt financing which is expected to be arranged by Citigroup in H1
2008 and timed to the Engineering, Procurement and Construction contract
award. FCP has worked with its Financial Advisor Citigroup and the convertible
bond underwriters to ensure the structural compatibility of the convertible
bond and the project debt financing. I am pleased with the end result. The
convertible bond combined with the project debt will fund a substantial
majority of FCP's costs to move our Algerian asset to 1st production."
