TransGlobe Energy Corporation ("TransGlobe" or the "Company")
(TSX:TGL)(NASDAQ:TGA) today announced it has entered into an agreement with a
syndicate of underwriters under which the members of the syndicate have agreed
to purchase for resale, on a bought-deal basis, 5,000,000 common shares ("Common
Shares") of the Company at Cdn$15.00 per Common Share (the "Offering") to raise
gross proceeds of approximately Cdn$75.0 million. Closing of the Offering, which
is subject to customary conditions and regulatory approvals, including approval
of the Toronto Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ, is expected to occur on or about
February 1, 2011. TransGlobe has also granted the underwriters an over-allotment
option to purchase, on the same terms, up to an additional 750,000 Common
Shares. This option is exercisable, in whole or in part, by the underwriters, in
their sole discretion, at any time up to 30 days after closing. The maximum
gross proceeds raised under the Offering will be approximately Cdn$86.25
million, should the over-allotment option be exercised in full.


The proceeds of the Offering will be used to fund capital expenditures, to repay
long-term debt and to pursue new business development opportunities in the Arab
Republic of Egypt, including adding new acreage through farm-in arrangements,
bid rounds or acquisitions from third parties.


The Common Shares will be offered in Canada in the Provinces of British
Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, Manitoba and Quebec by way of a short-form
prospectus and in the United Kingdom and certain other jurisdictions on a
private placement basis.


TransGlobe Energy Corporation is a Calgary-based, growth-oriented oil and gas
exploration and development company focused on the Middle East/North Africa
region with production operations in the Arab Republic of Egypt and the Republic
of Yemen. TransGlobe's common shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange under

Cautionary Statement to Investors: 

This news release may include certain statements that may be deemed to be
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements relate to possible future events.
All statements other than statements of historical fact may be forward-looking
statements. Forward-looking statements are often, but not always, identified by
the use of words such as "seek", "anticipate", "plan", "continue", "estimate",
"expect", "may", "will", "project", "predict", "potential", "targeting",
"intend", "could", "might", "should", "believe" and similar expressions. These
statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that
may cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated
in such forward-looking statements. Although TransGlobe's forward-looking
statements are based on the beliefs, expectations, opinions and assumptions of
the Company's management on the date the statements are made, such statements
are inherently uncertain and provide no guarantee of future performance. Actual
results may differ materially from TransGlobe's expectations as reflected in
such forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, many of which
are beyond the control of the Company. These factors include, but are not
limited to statements concerning the anticipated closing date of the Offering.
The forward-looking statements are based on certain key expectations and
assumptions made by TransGlobe, including the anticipated receipt of regulatory
approvals and the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange and NASDAQ. Although
TransGlobe believes that the expectations and assumptions on which the
forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, undue reliance should not
be placed on the forward-looking statements because TransGlobe can give no
assurance that they will prove to be correct. The closing of the Offering could
be delayed or the Offering may not close at all if the required approvals are
not obtained on a timely basis or some other condition to the Offering is not
satisfied. TransGlobe does not assume any obligation to update forward-looking
statements if circumstances or management's beliefs, expectations or opinions
should change, and investors should not attribute undue certainty to, or place
undue reliance on, any forward-looking statements. Please consult TransGlobe's
public filings at www.sedar.com and www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml for further, more
detailed information concerning these matters.
