The price represents a 20 percent discount to Thursday's closing price of $28.20. GeoResources had about 14.7 million shares outstanding as of May 12.

Shares fell $4.40, or 15.6 percent, to $23.80 in premarket trading.

The company said investors in the private placement will also receive five-year warrants to purchase up to 613,000 additional shares at an exercise price of $32.43.

GeoResources expects gross proceeds of about $34.5 million, which it plans to use to pay off debt and to fund explorations and development, acquisitions and hedges.

Wachovia Securities acted as placement agent for the offering, and C.K. Cooper & Co. acted as GeoResources' financial adviser.
