That is a great news. I am very excited to see how they expand from here.

Voyager Oil & Gas also is transitioning into an operator, but still has mainly non-operator holdings. Voyager has 43,600 net Bakken acres and averaged 938 Boepd in the second quarter.

The company also has acreage in the Niobrara and Heath Shale.

Voyager has an enterprise value of $141 million.

Voyager Oil & Gas, Inc. and Emerald Oil Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Emerald Oil & Gas NL, announced that they have entered into a securities purchase agreement whereby Voyager will acquire Emerald Oil to create a U.S.-based oil and gas company that will focus on select oil and gas basins in the Rocky Mountain region. The transaction will combine the companies' oil-producing assets in the Williston Basin, specifically in the Bakken and Three Forks plays located in North Dakota and Montana, with Emerald Oil's acreage position focusing on the Niobrara shale in the Sandwash Basin located in Colorado and Wyoming.

The transaction will significantly expand the acreage position of both companies in the Williston Basin. The combination is intended to create an oil and gas company with operating capabilities that has the ability to effectively manage a multi-rig drilling program in the Rocky Mountains and extract maximum value from both of its operated and non-operated drilling programs. The transaction will also realign individual management responsibilities of the combined company's executives in order to allow each executive to focus on his core area of professional expertise. The combined company will begin the transition from a non-operating business model to an operating business model with its first operated well in Dunn County, North Dakota, which is planned to spud in early 2013 and will be followed by a continuous single-rig drilling program in 2013. The combined company intends to leverage its extensive technical Williston Basin well database to optimize the designs of future wells.

The combined company will operate as Emerald Oil and will be headquartered in Denver, Colorado and maintain its lease acquisition program from Billings, Montana focused on the Williston Basin.

"The untapped oil and gas reserves in the Western United States have reshaped the North American energy markets," said McAndrew Rudisill, President of Emerald Oil. "The combination of Voyager and Emerald Oil underscores our commitment to developing an operated U.S. shale oil company. Today's announcement accelerates our strategy of using our position in the Williston Basin to create a company focused on Bakken and Three Forks development, two of the most prolific and extensive shale oil plays in the U.S."

"This is a transformational event that is expected to benefit the shareholders of both companies," said J.R. Reger, Voyager's Chief Executive Officer, who will serve as Executive Chairman of the combined company. "The combination of two highly experienced management teams and Boards of Directors, who in aggregate have been involved with billions of dollars of oil and gas project developments, along with the company's strategically located acreage, provides the combined company with a strong foundation upon which to drive company growth. The combination of our two companies will enable our business operations to realize their full potential, continue to grow and deliver value for shareholders."

Voyager's primary business is focused on properties in North Dakota and Montana targeting the Bakken and Three Forks shale oil formations. The company estimates second quarter 2012 average production was approximately 900 BOEPD, which represents a 40 percent increase above its first quarter 2012 average production of 625 BOEPD.

Nice play for the Bakken.

Voyager Oil and Gas (VOG) has been beaten up recently based on its affiliation with Northern Oil and Gas (NOG). It has 28,000 net acres in the Williston Basin and is actively acquiring more. It plans to participate in six net Bakken/Three Forks wells this year and 10 next year. Some of Voyager's current partners here are:

EOG Resources (EOG)
Oasis (OAS)
Brigham (BEXP)
Slawson
Voyager estimates its NAV is $12 million/well. It will continue to add acreage for approximately $1,500/acre. This company has been taken to the wood shed over issues related to another company, but I do not believe any of the assertions made have any direct ramifications. I think Voyager is a value at this level.

Summary outline of upside for VYOG look for a strong 2011 IMO.

Voyager Oil & Gas, Inc., voyageroil.com – the Billings, Montana-based firm engaged in exploration and production on some 147k total net acres in the US, with the majority of its efforts in oil shale, took some time to provide a drilling and completion update on its major prospects today.

CEO of VYOG, J.R. Reger, projected that the Company’s aggressive leasing in the Williston Basin Bakken/Three Forks would continue, and that development programs in the D-J Basin Niobrara and Tiger Ridge Gas field would proceed apace as VYOG is fully capitalized to execute on its acquisition and development strategy.

Reger noted the “strong cash position” and lack of debt as fundamental to the solidity of the Company’s current market position, which is flanked by substantial acreage and the logistical framework to drive even higher shareholder returns.

Williston Basin Bakken and Three Forks holdings consist of 24k acres (as of April 16). VYOG has 74 permits to drill Bakken wells (anticipated spud within 6 months), and an aggressive acreage acquisition program which targets non-operated working interests and leverages competitive advantages to lock down proven areas of high-quality production. VYOG has participated in six Bakken oil wells:

• Producing – Slawson (1.11%) Ripper #1-22H (Nov 23, 2009 spud) 2,369 BOEPD
• Producing – Brigham (7.71%) Ross-Alger 6-7 #1H (Apr 21 spud) 3,070 BOEPD
• Drilling – Brigham (0.1%) Larsen 3-10 #1H (May 17 spud)
• Drilling – Oasis (11.06%) Andre 5501 13-4H (June 14 spud)
• Drilling – Slawson (2.28%) Vixen #1-19-30H (June 24 spud)
• Rigging up – Oasis (0.22%) Ellis 5602 42-8H (July 21 spud)

D-J Basin Niobrara interests consist of 48k acres (as of June 28). VYOG is in a heads-up participation with Slawson Exploration for 50% working interest:

• Drilling – Slawson Bushwacker 24-11-67 (July 7 spud)

Montana-based Tiger Ridge Gas Field holdings consist of 65k acres, and sites are currently undergoing extensive seismic testing in anticipation of a three-well conventional gas drilling program with Devon Energy, which has two wells already spud and one slated for late Q3 10:
• Drilling – (35.78%) State 24-09-27-19 (June 15 spud)
• Drilling – (38.28%) Bonus LLC 28-15-27-19 (July 1 spud)
• Proposed – (21.88%) State 26-01-27-19 (Aug 15 spud)

Heath Oil Shale property consists of 33.5k acres in Central Montana, where VYOG has begun to see abundant permitting and anticipates participation in a number of wells projected to spud sometime in Q4 10. With a profile similar to the Bakken, and many of the same development partners, the Heath represents another excellent resource base for revenue generation.

Exec Summary from 10q:

NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

On April 16, 2010, Voyager Oil & Gas, Inc. (formerly ante4, Inc.) (the “Company” or “Voyager”), Plains Energy Acquisition, Inc. (“Acquisition Sub”) and Plains Energy Investments, Inc. (“the Target Company”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). Under the Merger Agreement, Acquisition Sub merged with and into the Target Company, with the Target Company remaining as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). On the Closing Date, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment with the State of Delaware to change its name from ante4, Inc. to Voyager Oil & Gas, Inc. Going forward, the Company will be a holding company parent of the Target Company, and the Company’s business operations following the Merger will be those of the Target Company. Further details of the Merger are provided in Note 14 in the footnotes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

On June 14, 2010 the Company completed the spin-off of ante5, Inc. (“ante5”). ante5 was previously a wholly-owned subsidiary of Voyager and holds certain assets principally related to Voyager’s prior entertainment and consumer products business. ante5 has become a separate publicly reporting U.S. company. The spin-off was completed through the distribution of one share of ante5 common stock for each share of Voyager common stock held by stockholders as of the record date, June 24, 2010. The terms of the spin-off and the assets, liabilities and business of ante5 are described in further detail in Note 15 in the footnotes to the consolidated financial statements.

Voyager is an independent energy company engaged in the business of acquiring acreage in prospective natural resource plays in the states of Montana and North Dakota within the Williston Basin of the United States and the states of Colorado and Wyoming within the Denver-Julesberg Basin of the United States. The Company seeks to accumulate acreage blocks and build net asset value via the production of hydrocarbons in repeatable and scalable opportunities. In 2010, Voyager is no longer considered a development stage company. In prior years 2007-2009, the pre-merger Target Company was considered a development stage company.

The Company is governed by a board of directors and managed by its officers. The affairs of the Company are governed by Delaware law and the Company’s Bylaws.

Management has determined that the Company should focus on projects in the oil and gas industry primarily based in the Rocky Mountains and specifically the Williston Basin Bakken Shale formation and Denver Julesburg Basin Niobrara formation. This is based upon a belief that the Company is able to create value via strategic acreage acquisitions and convert the value or portion thereof into production by utilizing experienced industry partners specializing in the specific areas of interest. The Company has targeted specific prospects and has engaged in the drilling for oil and gas.

The Company has two employees as of June 30, 2010. The Company will seek to retain independent contractors to assist in operating and managing the prospects as well as to carry out the principal and necessary functions incidental to the oil and gas business. With the continued acquisition of oil and gas properties, the Company intends to continue to establish itself with industry partners best suited to the areas of operation. As the Company continues to establish a revenue base with cash flow, it may seek opportunities more aggressive in nature.

As an independent oil and gas producer, the Company’s revenue, profitability and future rate of growth are substantially dependent on prevailing prices of natural gas and crude oil. Historically, the energy markets have been very volatile and it is likely that oil and gas prices will continue to be subject to wide fluctuations in the future. A substantial or extended decline in natural gas and oil prices could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows and access to capital, and on the quantities of natural gas and oil reserves that can be economically produced.

We are loving Wyoming area particularly Niobrara County. This is bullish news for VYOG in my opinion.

Voyager Oil and Gas Provides Bakken and Niobrara Operations Update

Oct 18, 2010 6:50:00 AM
2010 GlobeNewswire, Inc.

BILLINGS, Mont., Oct. 18, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Voyager Oil & Gas, Inc. (OTCBB:VYOG) ("Voyager") today provides an operational update regarding its Bakken and Niobrara activity.

Williston Basin Bakken and Three Forks

Voyager currently controls approximately 24,000 net acres in the Williston Basin, primarily in Williams, McKenzie and Mountrail Counties, North Dakota and Richland and Roosevelt Counties, Montana. Voyager has spud twelve gross Bakken wells, of which three are producing, four are drilling and five are completing. By the end of 2010, Voyager expects to spud 15 gross Bakken wells. In 2011, Voyager expects to spud approximately 35 gross and 5 net Bakken wells based on recent permitting activity on Voyager's leasehold interests. J.R. Reger, Voyager's CEO, commented, "The accelerated production and positive results across our Bakken/Three Forks position continue to remain within our original expectations. We believe that our 24,000 core acres are being developed by some of the best operators in the play and we are excited to be participating in this premier oil resource play. We continue to focus most of our efforts on leasing and acquisitions in the Bakken and Three Forks play. We are excited to be moving into the production ramp-up stage across our Bakken position. We expect substantial reserve and production additions over the coming months as the position is rapidly developed."

Voyager recently participated with Slawson Exploration in three gross Niobrara well completions in the D-J Basin Niobrara play. Slawson is currently setting surface casing on 22 additional drilling locations that have been delineated and high-graded by initial results from the first three wells and other operator results in the area.

Bushwacker 24-11-67

The Bushwacker well is located in the western portion of Slawson's Weld County, Colorado lease block in Section 24, Township 11N, Range 67W. The well experienced significant geosteering issues in the Niobrara B formation and a majority of the lateral is believed to be low or out of the Niobrara B target zone. The well was recently completed with a 19-stage fracture stimulation and flowed back primarily frac fluids with a trace of oil. The well is temporarily shut in pending results of the Moonshine #1-36H and the Outlaw #1-16H. The well was drilled and completed for $3.0 million, below the AFE estimate of $4.2 million. We expect that the lateral portion of the well may be re-drilled and re-stimulated in either the Niobrara B or the Codell formation.

Moonshine #1-36H

The Moonshine well is located east of the Bushwacker well in Section 36, Township 11N, Range 65W Weld County, Colorado. The well experienced encouraging oil and gas shows in The Niobrara B formation during drilling and was recently completed with a 19-stage fracture stimulation. The well is currently flowing back primarily frac water with a 13% oil cut. Although the well is producing approximately 20 BOPD, the well will be placed on pump in late October and currently is expected to be a commercial producer. The well was drilled and completed for $3.29 million, below the AFE estimate of $4.2 million.

Outlaw 1-16H

The Outlaw well is located between the Moonshine and Bushwacker wells in Section 16, Township 11N, Range 66W Weld County, Colorado. The Outlaw well experienced encouraging oil and gas shows during drilling in the Niobrara B formation and is currently being completed. Three stages of the well were fracture stimulated and the fourth stage pressured out. The well is currently flowing back primarily frac water with a 3% oil cut. The remainder of the fracture stimulation is expected to be completed in late October. The well has incurred $1.3 million in drilling and completion costs to date and is expected to be fully completed for less than $3 million.

J.R. Reger commented, "We are encouraged by what we are seeing as we move east in the lease block with the Moonshine and the Outlaw wells. We are especially encouraged by the drilling and completion costs of approximately $3 million per well. We expect the Niobrara Play to continue to evolve and improve. Recent results by other operators in the area are beginning to come in and the operators are beginning to share data regarding target zone, azimuth (horizontal direction) and completion techniques. The horizontal Niobrara play is in its infancy and we expect the learning curve to be steep. Slawson is currently setting surface casing on 22 high-grade locations, based on the shows from the Moonshine and Outlaw wells. Slawson will commence drilling on the lease block when the surface casing is set on all 22 high-grade locations and additional field data regarding drilling and completions techniques has been received. Several of the high-grade locations are in the immediate vicinity of recent EOG results that have been very encouraging. Slawson and Voyager continue to acquire acreage in the core area of the play and we continue to add additional drilling opportunities to our inventory as the play evolves. We are excited about the pace with which this play is developing and we expect the data from these first 3 delineation wells to aid in our future leasing and drilling."

[OilStockReport]

Voyager Oil and Gas (OTCBB: VYOG): Voyager is a smaller play that could be making headlines. It has approximately 24,000 core net acres in the Bakken/Three Forks formations in North Dakota and Montana; and I have a strong feeling that a Montana oil boom is right around the corner.

ante4, Inc. Announces Name Change to Voyager Oil & Gas, Inc. and Acquisition of Montana Oil and Gas Firm

ante4, Inc. Announces Name Change to Voyager Oil & Gas, Inc. and Acquisition of Montana Oil and Gas Firm

PR Newswire

BILLINGS, Mont., April 19

BILLINGS, Mont., April 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --

ante4, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: ANTF) today announced that it has changed its name to Voyager Oil and Gas, Inc. ("Voyager") and completed the acquisition of a private oil and gas exploration and production company targeting the Bakken and Three Forks Formations in North Dakota (referred to herein as the "target company").

Merger Agreement

On April 16, 2010, Voyager entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") pursuant to which its wholly-owned subsidiary merged with and into the privately-held Nevada corporation, with the Nevada corporation being the surviving entity in the transaction (the "Merger"). The Merger was approved by all of the Nevada corporation's stockholders and all such stockholders waived their dissenter's rights in connection with the Merger. The Merger was effective on April 16, 2010.

About Voyager Oil & Gas

Voyager is an exploration and production company headquartered in Billings, Montana focusing on acquiring acreage in prospective natural resource plays across the Williston Basin of the United States. Voyager currently controls approximately 98,000 net acres in the following four primary prospect areas:

6,200 net acres targeting the Bakken formation in North Dakota, with an additional 8,000 net acres under contract targeting the Bakken formation in Montana and North Dakota;640 net acres targeting the Red River formation in Montana;33,500 net acres in a joint venture targeting the Heath Shale formation in Musselshell, Petroleum, Garfield and Fergus Counties of Montana; and50,000 net acres in a joint venture in the Tiger Ridge gas field in Blaine, Hill and Chouteau Counties of Montana.Following the merger, Voyager intends to be committed to low overhead and minimal staff. Mr. J.R. Reger has agreed to serve as Chief Executive Officer, Secretary and director without cash compensation through December 31, 2011. Voyager expects to devote substantially all of the capital of the combined company to oil and gas investments.

Bakken Oil Formation

Voyager expects to focus its land acquisition and drilling activities primarily on opportunities targeting the Bakken Formation in North Dakota. The Bakken Formation is one of the most prolific unconventional oil prospects in the continental United States. This year Voyager intends to commit approximately $20 million to the acquisition and development drilling of Bakken wells in the core area of production in Williams and Mountrail Counties of North Dakota. Voyager expects to participate in the drilling of up to 10 gross Bakken wells in 2010.

Tiger Ridge Gas Prospect

The Tiger Ridge area is a large gas field located in north-central Montana. Exploration for natural gas in the Tiger Ridge field dates back to the 1960s, and has resulted in significant discoveries of both natural gas and oil. Natural gas production continues in the Tiger Ridge field today and Voyager believes new opportunities still exist to exploit hydrocarbons in the area as a result of advanced technology in drilling and completion as well as seismic and geologic evaluation techniques. Voyager maintains a joint venture pursuant to which it has acquired and expects to develop its acreage in the Tiger Ridge field.

Heath Shale Oil Formation

The Heath Shale Formation in Petroleum County, Montana is a shale formation characterized by high oil content, porosity and significant fracturing. Voyager maintains a joint venture pursuant to which Voyager has acquired and expects to develop its acreage in the Heath. The company's position consists of 33,500 net acres.

Financial Highlights

The Merger Agreement obligated Voyager to deliver $28 million of cash or cash equivalents to the combined company upon closing of the Merger. The target company's stockholders received 0.86836131 of one share of common stock for each target company share held as of the effective time of the Merger, rounded up to the nearest share. Holders of outstanding target company warrants received warrants to purchase 0.86836131 of one share of Voyager common stock for each warrant to purchase one share of the target company's common stock, which warrants are exercisable for $0.98 per share. In connection with the transaction, Voyager issued an aggregate of 21,761,299 (including 468,916 restricted common shares subject to restricted stock agreements) shares of ante4 common stock to the target company's stockholders and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 4,689,153 shares of Voyager common stock to the target company's warrant holders.

Steven Lipscomb, Bradley Berman and Lyle Berman will continue as directors of Voyager following the Merger, and Ray Moberg, Joseph Carson, Jr., Mimi Rogers and Michael Beindorff each resigned their position as Voyager directors immediately prior to consummation of the Merger. All officers of Voyager also resigned their positions prior to consummation of the Merger, and James Russell (J.R.) Reger was appointed Chief Executive Officer, Secretary and a director and Mitchell Thompson was appointed Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer upon completion of the Merger. Terry Harris, Myrna McLeroy, Joseph Lahti and Loren J. O'Toole, Jr. were also appointed to Voyager's board of directors immediately prior to consummation of the Merger.

Mr. Reger was born and raised in Billings, Montana and is the fourth generation in a family of oil and gas explorers and developers dating back more than 60 years. Mr. Reger's great grandfather, John Jones, was Vice President/Land for Mobil Oil's Rocky Mountain operations. His grandfather, Jim Reger, co-founded the exploration firm of Norsworthy & Reger. Prior to accepting the position as CEO of Voyager, Mr. Reger was the President of South Fork Exploration, a mineral leasing company in Billings, Montana with experience and interests in Montana and North Dakota. Mr. Reger holds a B.A. in Finance from Baylor University in Waco, Texas.

Management Comment

J.R. Reger, Chief Executive Officer commented: "With our strong liquidity position consisting of over $28 million in cash and no debt we are well-armed to aggressively expand our acreage position, fund our rapidly accelerating Bakken drilling program, and opportunistically pursue acquisition opportunities in the Williston Basin." Board chairman Lyle Berman added "J.R. Reger and the Reger family have a strong and established record of success in this market, in particular, North Dakota. We look forward to a bright future that will create value for our stockholders." J.R. Reger continued, "We plan to run Voyager as a very lean organization with virtually no cash burn and significantly all of our liquidity being deployed to high rate of return projects such as drilling in the core area of the Bakken. We are excited to be able to provide our shareholders with a liquid security and drastically increase our ability to access the capital markets. We would like to thank ante4's board of directors for the confidence they have shown in us by their $28 million acquisition investment and we look forward to using this capital to continue to expand our high quality acreage and drilling inventory."

Mandalay Media Increases Proposal to Acquire World Poker Tour to $36.5 million, $1.77 Per Share

Email Story Discuss on ZenoBank

View Additional ProfilesLOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Mandalay Media, Inc. (OTCBB:MNDL) today announced that it has increased its proposal to the Board of Directors of WPT Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ:WPTE). The revised proposal is to acquire WPT for $36.5 million, consisting of $28.5 million in cash, $5 million in Mandalay Media stock and perpetual revenue participation rights, guaranteed to be at least $3 million. The estimated value to shareholders per share is $1.77, including the guaranteed portion of the revenue participation rights, and as adjusted for the actual share count at closing. The proposal represents a premium of approximately 61% over the closing price of WPT's common stock on October 26, 2009 and a premium of approximately 28% over the implied value at closing of WPT's pending asset sale with Peerless Media Ltd.

In a letter to WPT's Board of Directors, Mandalay's Co-Chairman Robert Ellin stated that Mandalay proposal is a "Superior Proposal" as that term is defined under the asset purchase agreement with Peerless.

Mandalay stated that the proposed asset sale with Peerless provides no payment or distribution of any kind to WPT's shareholders. In contrast, the Mandalay proposal would provide significant cash and stock directly into the hands of WPT shareholders.

In addition, Mandalay stated that in order to enable the WPT board of directors to comply with its fiduciary duties to give serious consideration of the Mandalay proposal, Mandalay urged the board of WPT to postpone the Special Meeting of Shareholders currently scheduled for October 30, 2009. Mandalay has asked to meet with the WPT board as soon as possible.

The full text of the letter, dated October 29, 2009, follows:

Mandalay Media, Inc.

2121 Avenue of the Stars, Suite 2550

Los Angeles, CA 90067

October 29, 2009

The Board of Directors

WPT Enterprises, Inc.

5700 Wilshire Blvd. Suite 350

Los Angeles, California 90036

Re: Cash and Stock Proposal at $1.77 per share

Dear Members of the Board:

This letter supersedes our letter dated October 28th.

Since the announcement of your proposed asset sale with Peerless Media (Peerless), Mandalay Media, Inc. (OTC--BB: MNDL) (Mandalay) has given serious consideration to a combination of Mandalay and WPT Enterprises, Inc. (WPTE). We believe a strategic combination of Mandalay and WPTE would deliver significant value to our respective shareholders, and position the combined company for substantial future growth.

By this letter, we are proposing a transaction that provides WPTE's shareholders a significant premium over both WPTE's current market price and the current value of the Peerless transaction. There is no doubt that our offer is a "Superior Proposal" as that term is defined under your asset purchase agreement with Peerless. Accordingly, we would like to meet with you as soon as possible to discuss the terms of our offer in greater detail. In addition, in order to enable the WPTE board of directors to comply with its fiduciary duties to give serious consideration of our proposal, we urge the board to postpone the Special Meeting of Shareholders currently scheduled for October 30, 2009.

As you know, the proposed asset sale with Peerless provides no payment or distribution of any kind to WPTE's shareholders. In addition, as WPTE's proxy materials make clear, WPTE has no present intention or plan to conduct any stock repurchases or otherwise distribute either the proceeds of the Peerless sale or WPTE's excess cash to shareholders, even though WPTE would no longer have any material operating assets.

In contrast, our proposal would provide significant, immediate cash and stock directly into the hands of your shareholders, and values WPTE significantly higher.

Under our proposal, which has no financing contingency, Mandalay and WPTE would combine and WPTE shareholders would receive, in the aggregate, approximately $36.5 million in stock and cash, consisting of: (i) $28.5 million of cash plus (ii) $5 million in Mandalay common stock plus (iii)substantially the same perpetual 5% revenue share as offered by Peerless, including a guarantee for the payments to be at least $1 million per year for 3 years. On a per share basis, had we closed on October 22, 2009 (when our stock closed at $.50 per share), and using your August 12, 2009 outstanding shares of 20,603,333, each share of common stock of WPTE would be converted into the right to receive (including the $3 million in the aggregate/$.15 per share guaranteed portion of the revenue share) approximately $1.77 per share as follows: (1) $1.53 in cash plus (2) .48 shares of Mandalay common stock, having an implied value of $.24 per WPTE share. The actual number of shares of Mandalay to be issued will be determined as of prior to closing, but the total value of the stock component will be fixed at $5 million. Our proposal assumes no material change in WPTE's assets and liabilities. The post-closing indemnity provisions would be substantially the same as in the Peerless transaction.

Based on October 26, 2009 closing prices, our offer represents a 61% premium over the value at closing of your proposed asset sale with Peerless and a 28% premium over WPTE's closing price.

We expended substantial effort in developing this value on the basis of publicly-available information. Once we have the opportunity to conduct due diligence of non-public information and to negotiate with representatives of WPTE we can confirm the value we ascribe to WPTE. To that end, we would be prepared to enter into an appropriate confidentiality agreement. We expect to conclude all due diligence within 10 days after receiving a short list of requested materials.

We believe that your shareholders would find this proposal compelling, and to that end, though this is not a binding offer, we are prepared to move quickly toward the negotiation and entry into a mutually acceptable transaction agreement with you.

Mandalay Media is a global publisher and distributor of branded entertainment for 3G mobile networks, including images, video, TV programming, and games. With distribution in 40 countries through 120 major mobile operators, it offers over 400 branded WAP sites, chat services, and customized video clips. Additionally, Mandalay Media distributes more than 150 mobile game titles from content partners such as Sony, Taito, THQ, Digital Chocolate, THQ, and others. Its patented Play For Prizes platform is available on Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, and Virgin Mobile, and includes titles such as Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy, Frogger, and Jewel Quest.

We believe the strategic rationale for combining Mandalay Media and WPTE is compelling for a number of reasons:

-- Mandalay Media has the management team, seasoned veterans and strategic
relationships necessary to lead the company in its multiple service
offerings and distribution channels.
-- Mandalay Media will cultivate and expand long-term global contracts for
its television content.
-- Mandalay Media can leverage its mobile platform and operator
relationships throughout the world to provide a full mobile social media
and sports / poker playing experience.
-- Mandalay Media will tap into Facebook and additional social media
websites to develop and publish a more compelling and branded next
generation poker experience that currently offered.
-- Mandalay Media through its existing platform technologies can provide a
"connected" game experience for the internet as well as third screens
(mobile phones). Players can always be part of the WPT community
wherever they are.
-- Mandalay Media through its Play for Prizes platform is uniquely
positioned to deliver mobile and internet skill with prizes game play.
As gambling becomes legal, we will already be positioned to immediately
offer that functionality to the WPT community.

Although the majority of our proposal consists of cash, we wish to call your attention to some of the reasons we believe Mandalay's common stock is attractive. Mandalay recognizes annualized revenue of $40 million. With the expected synergies and cost savings from the combination of the two public companies, we expect annual revenues and EBITDA of the combined company to exceed $60 million and $8 million, respectively, starting from the closing.

We expect that the combined company will be listed on Nasdaq's capital market, with a larger market capitalization, greater following and enhanced liquidity for shareholders.

Our interest in this transaction is a reflection of our firm belief that a combination of our companies would be highly beneficial financially to both of our shareholder groups and accretive to Mandalay's earnings per share. In sum, we believe our proposal is superior to your proposed transaction with Peerless based on its higher current value, and the opportunity for WPTE shareholders to share in the enhanced prospect of growth of a stronger combined franchise.

The Board of Directors of Mandalay has unanimously approved this proposal and has authorized our management team to proceed.

We would like to meet with you before the scheduled shareholders meeting to discuss our proposal in greater detail. In any event, whether or not a meeting can be arranged before Friday, we urge you to postpone your shareholders meeting to allow full and serious consideration of our proposal. Please feel free to contact Robert Ellin at Mandalay Media, Inc. at 310 601 2500 or to have your financial or legal advisors contact Mr. Ellin regarding the matters set forth herein. We look forward to meeting with you soon.

Sincerely,

Mandalay Media, Inc.

PartyGaming to buy World Poker Tour for $12.3 mln

* On Tuesday August 25, 2009, 6:26 am EDT
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/PartyGaming-to-buy-World-rb-575120717.html?x=0&.v=2

(Reuters) - British online gaming group PartyGaming Plc (LSE:PRTY.L - News) said on Tuesday it agreed to buy U.S.-based branded gaming firm WPT Enterprises Inc (NasdaqGM:WPTE - News), known as World Poker Tour, for $12.3 million in cash.

PartyGaming said it would also pay a minimum of $3 million over the next three years to World Poker Tour's vendors on an ongoing revenue share related to the assets purchased.

The acquisition is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2009, PartyGaming said in a statement.

In a late evening release on Monday, WPT had said it agreed to sell substantially all of its operating assets other than cash, investments and certain excluded assets to Peerless Media Ltd, a unit of ElectraWorks Ltd, which is owned by PartyGaming.

PartyGaming is WPT's largest customer, accounting for 30 percent of its revenue for the six months ended June 28, WPT said in a regulatory filing.

Last month, PartyGaming had said it was looking for further acquisitions following its purchase of bingo website operator Cashcade for an initial 71.9 million pounds ($118.8 million at that time).

Earlier this month, rival online gaming firm 888 (LSE:888.L - News) said it was close to making an acquisition and expected a deal to be completed soon.

PartyGaming shares were down 0.5 percent at 268.2 pence in volatile trade by 0848 GMT on the London Stock Exchange.

What the heck is going on Today??? Cant find any news anywhere

[pro_trader]

Shares of WPTE look very attractive at current levels. Downside volume has all but dried-up and the stock is holding just above its 50 day moving average.The MACD is well above "0' suggesting the stock is in a strong bullish trend.Finally, the stock is entering oversold levels based on the stochastics.Shares should be purchased at current levels and there is room for significant upside from here.
