Dear Toreador Stockholder:
We recently mailed to you a proxy statement/prospectus requesting
your support of the proposed merger between the Toreador and ZaZa Energy, LLC at a special meeting of the Companys stockholders scheduled for February 15, 2012. Stockholders are urged to read the entire joint proxy statement/prospectus
carefully.
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.
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 44%.
The combination of Toreador and ZaZa is
expected to have compelling strategic and financial benefits to the combined company and its stockholders. Among these benefits are, but not limited to, the following:
|
|
|
Diversified Oil and Gas Interests.
The proposed transaction will result in a combined company with a portfolio of oil and gas interest that is
diversified beyond the Paris Basin to include U.S. oil and gas interests in the shale plays of the Eagle Ford core and the Eagle Ford eastern extension.
|
|
|
|
Increase near term production.
It is expected that production in the Eagle Ford shale alone will reach approximately 1,600 barrel of oil
equivalent per day (boe/d) in 2012 and reach approximately 8,750 (boe/d) in 2016.
