Business Wire
Tremisis Energy Acquisition Corp. (OTCBB: TEGY), today announced
that RAM Energy, Inc. has entered into a new credit facility with
Guggenheim Corporate Funding, LLC, as agent on behalf of
participating lenders. In October 2005, Tremisis announced that it
had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire RAM pursuant to
which RAM, an Oklahoma based independent oil and gas production
company, will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tremisis upon
consummation of the acquisition subject to the conditions filed
with the SEC on October 26, 2005, as amended. The $300 million
senior secured credit facility includes a $150 million, four-year
revolver and a $150 million, five year term loan. Initial borrowing
limits under the facility provide $50 million under the revolver
and $90 million under the term loan, or a total of $140 million of
immediately available credit. Proceeds from the new credit facility
will be used to repay RAM's existing credit facility under which
$83.9 million was outstanding at year-end 2005, to fund certain
expenditures pursuant to the proposed acquisition of RAM by
Tremisis and for general corporate purposes. RAM's outstanding
$28.3 million of 11.5% Senior Notes due 2008 are unaffected by the
new credit facility. About Tremisis Energy Acquisition Corporation
