Item
        1.01
Entry
        into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On
        December 28, 2005, Triangle Petroleum Corporation (the "Company") entered into a
        Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with two accredited
        investors, Bank Sal. Oppenheim Jr. & Cie., (Schweiz) AG and Centrum Bank
        (collectively, the "Investors") providing for the sale by the Company to the
        Investors of (i) 7.5% convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount
        of $10,000,000 (the "Debentures") of which $5,000,000 was advanced immediately
        and (ii) warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase 1,250,000 shares of the Company's
        common stock, exercisable at a price of $5.00 per share until December 28,
        2006,
        of which 625,000 were issued. The second installment of $5,000,000 and 625,000
        warrants will be advanced upon the filing by the Company with the Securities
        and
        Exchange Commission (the "Commission") of the Registration Statement (as defined
        below). The principal and accrued interest on the Debentures may be converted
        into shares of the Company's common stock at a rate of $5.00 per share, at the
        option of the holder.
The
        Debentures mature on the third anniversary of the date of issuance (the
"Maturity Date") and bear interest at the annual rate of 7.5%. The Company is
        not required to make any payments until the Maturity Date.
Holders
        may convert, at any time, any amount outstanding under the Debentures into
        shares of Common Stock of the Company (the "Common Stock") at a conversion price
        per share of $4.00.
In
        connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Company also entered into a
        registration rights agreement (the "Registration Rights Agreement") providing
        for the filing of a registration statement (the "Registration Statement") with
        the Securities and Exchange Commission registering the Common Stock issuable
        upon conversion of the Debentures and Warrants. The Company is obligated
        to use
        its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective
        no
        later than May 28, 2006 and to insure that the registration statement remains
        in
        effect until all of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of
        the
        Debentures have been sold. In the event of a default of its obligations under
        the Registration Rights Agreement, including its agreement to file the
        Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission no later
        than
        February 26, 2006, or if the Registration Statement is not declared effective
        by
        June 30, 2006, it is required pay to the Investors, as liquidated damages,
        for
        each month that the registration statement has not been filed or declared
        effective, as the case may be, a cash amount equal to 1% of the liquidated
        value
        of the Debentures.
Each
        Investor has agreed to restrict its ability to convert the Debentures or
        exercise the Warrants and receive shares of the Company's common stock such that
        the number of shares of common stock held by them in the aggregate and their
        affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the
        then
        issued and outstanding shares of the Company's common stock.

Unregistered
        Sales of Equity Securities.
See
        Item
        1.01 above for a description of the transactions pursuant to which the Company
        issued Debentures and Warrants.

        the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and/or Section 4(2) of
