AUSTIN, TX, Oct 21, 2009 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- BEXP | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Brigham Exploration Company (NASDAQ: BEXP | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) announced it has priced its offering of 16,000,000 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $10.50 per share. Net proceeds from the offering are expected to be used primarily to accelerate the development of Brigham's Williston Basin acreage position by drilling 24 net horizontal wells in 2010, which will target both the Bakken and Three Forks objectives. Pending use of the net proceeds, Brigham intends to use a portion of the net proceeds from the offering to repay the indebtedness outstanding under its senior credit facility. As of September 30, 2009, $110 million was outstanding under the senior credit facility. Brigham intends to re-borrow under its senior credit facility in 2010 to fund exploration and development expenditures as they are incurred. The offering is scheduled to close October 27, 2009.

In connection with the offering, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Jefferies & Company, Inc. are acting as joint book-running managing underwriters and Johnson Rice & Company, Raymond James, RBC Capital Markets, Howard Weil Incorporated and Pritchard Capital Partners, LLC are acting as co-managing underwriters for the offering. Brigham has granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to 2,400,000 additional shares to cover over-allotments, if any.

The offering is being made only by means of a prospectus and related prospectus supplement, which has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. A copy of the prospectus and prospectus supplement relating to the offering may be obtained from the offices of: Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Prospectus Department, One Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10010, 1-800-221-1037 or Jefferies & Company, Inc., 520 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10022, 1-888-449-2342.
