Second Wave Petroleum Inc. ("Second Wave" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:SCS) is
pleased to announce that it has entered into an equity financing agreement with
Wellington West Capital Markets Inc. and CIBC World Markets (the
"Underwriters"), pursuant to which Second Wave will issue to the Underwriters,
on a "bought deal' basis, an aggregate of 4,445,000 common shares at a price of
$0.90 per common share and 2,860,000 flow through common shares at a price of
$1.05 per share, for total gross proceeds of $7,003,500 (the "Offering").


Brookfield Bridge Lending Fund Inc. ("Brookfield") has agreed to purchase the
4,445,000 common shares under the Offering. Upon close of the offering
Brookfield will control 29,092,120 shares of Second Wave or 65.6% of the then
outstanding shares.


The proceeds from the Offering will be used to fund the Company's ongoing
exploration and development programs at Judy Creek and for general corporate
purposes.


Concurrent to the Offering the Company has also agreed to issue a subordinate
convertible secured debenture (the "Debenture") in the amount of $4,000,000 to
Brookfield. The entire proceeds from the issuance of the Debenture will be used
to repay and thereby reduce the Company's $7,500,000 term loan facility which
matures May 8, 2010. The Debenture will bear interest at a fixed rate of 7% and
is convertible, at the holder's option, into common shares of the Company at a
conversion price of $1.20 per common share and mature two years after closing.


Closing of the Offering and Debenture financing is scheduled to occur on or
about June 30, 2009 and is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions,
including settlement of definitive documentation and the receipt of necessary
approvals (including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange).
