The placement was over subscribed and consisted of 180 Units priced at $100,000, with each of the units in the offering consisting of one promissory note in the principal amount of $100,000 and 50,000 warrants.

At any time after May 31, 2010 the notes can be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock, at a conversion price of $1.60 per share. The notes will be secured by any oil or gas wells drilled, completed or acquired with the proceeds from the offering.

Synergy Chairman Ed Holloway stated that, “We are pleased with the response to our private placement offering and pleased that GVC Capital was able to exercise the $3,000,000 over-allotment option.
