Under the terms of the Senior Secured Notes, CanArgo may, at its option and without the consent of the holders of the Senior Secured Notes, upon not less than 90 days and not more than 120 days prior written notice, prepay at any time and from time to time after July 31, 2006, all or any part of the Senior Secured Notes, in a principal amount of not less than $100,000 at the following Redemption Prices (expressed as percentages of the amount so prepaid): 105% after July 31, 2006; 104% after January 1, 2007; 103% after July 1, 2007; 102% after January 1, 2008; 101% after July 1, 2008, and 100% after January 1, 2009, together with all accrued and unpaid interest.

On August 9, 2007, CanArgo entered into an Amendment, Consent and Waiver Agreement with the holders of the Senior Secured Notes (the “Senior Noteholders”), pursuant to which:

•		CanArgo agreed to use part of the net proceeds received by its wholly owned subsidiary CanArgo Limited (after commission and certain expenses, including CanArgo Limited’s pro rata share of the costs and expenses incurred in relation to the recent initial public offering of shares in Tethys Petroleum Limited, which pro rata share of costs and expenses is expected to amount to approximately $500,000) to repay to the Senior Noteholders all amounts outstanding on the Senior Notes and accordingly remitted (or procured the remittance) to Ingalls & Snyder LLC (the “Escrow Agent”) on or about August 3, 2007 the sum of $20,840,396.49, such sum to be held in an escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) and released from the Escrow Account pursuant to an escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) dated as of August 3, 2007 among CanArgo, CanArgo Limited and the Escrow Agent; and
•		the Senior Noteholders agreed to waive the notice period which the Company would otherwise have required to give the Senior Noteholders on early repayment of the Senior Notes; and

•		the Senior Noteholders agreed that, notwithstanding the date of the Amendment, Consent and Waiver Agreement, interest on the Senior Notes would cease to accrue as of (but including) August 8, 2007; and
•		the parties agreed that following release from the Escrow Account of the monies necessary to repay all amounts owing on the Senior Notes the Escrow Agent would disburse such amounts to the Senior Noteholders in accordance with the respective entitlements of the Senior Noteholders to receive repayment of the Senior Notes; and
•		by waiving the notice period which the Company would otherwise be required to give the Senior Noteholders of an early repayment of the Senior Notes and by agreeing to a variation of the interest provisions attaching to the Senior Notes the Senior Noteholders effectively gave up (a) certain rights to convert their Senior Notes into common stock of CanArgo as an alternative to accepting repayment of their Senior Notes and (b) the right to receive interest on their Senior Notes in respect of the period between, on the one hand, the date on which CanArgo would otherwise have served notice of early repayment and, on the other hand, the date on which repayment (or conversion) would otherwise have taken place; and
•		in order to compensate the Senior Noteholders for giving up the aforesaid rights, CanArgo agreed to issue to the Senior Noteholders in aggregate warrants to purchase up to 17,916,667 shares at an exercise price of $1.00 per share, subject to adjustment, of CanArgo’s common stock, par value $0.10 per share, expiring at close of business on December 6, 2007 (the “Senior Note Compensatory Warrants”); and
•		accordingly, CanArgo and the Senior Noteholders agreed to amend the Note Purchase Agreement and the Senior Secured Notes to give effect to the foregoing.

Amendment, Consent and Waiver to Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement dated March 3, 2006

On March 3, 2006, CanArgo entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement with certain purchasers in respect of the private placement of US$13 million in aggregate principal amount of Senior Subordinated Convertible Guaranteed Notes due September 1, 2009 (the “Subordinated Notes”).

Under the terms of the Subordinated Notes CanArgo may, at its option, upon at least not less than 60 days and not more than 120 days prior written notice, prepay at any time and from time to time after March 1, 2007, all or any part of the Subordinated Notes, in a principal amount of not less than $100,000 at the following Redemption Prices (expressed as percentages of the amount so prepaid): 105% after March 1, 2007; 104% after September 1, 2007; 103% after March 1, 2008; 102% after September 1, 2008; 101% after March 1, 2009, and 100% after September 1, 2009, together with all accrued and unpaid interest.

On August 13, 2007, CanArgo entered into an Amendment, Consent and Waiver Agreement with the holders of the Subordinated Notes (the “Subordinated Noteholders”), pursuant to which:

•

it was agreed that the balance standing to the credit of the Escrow Account as at the relevant repayment date would be used to repay part of the outstanding Subordinated Notes; and

•

the aggregate principal amount of the Subordinated Notes to be repaid pursuant to the Amendment, Consent and Waiver Agreement would be calculated in accordance with the terms of that agreement (such amount of Subordinated Notes the “Repayment Subordinated Notes”); and

•

the Subordinated Noteholders agreed that, notwithstanding the date of the Amendment, Consent and Waiver Agreement, interest on the Repayment Subordinated Notes (but not the remaining Subordinated Notes) would cease to accrue as of (but including) August 14, 2007; and

•

by waiving the notice period which CanArgo would otherwise be required to give the Subordinated Noteholders of an early repayment of the Repayment Subordinated Notes and by agreeing to a variation of the interest provisions attaching to the Repayment Subordinated Notes the Subordinated Noteholders effectively gave up (a) certain rights to convert their Repayment

		Subordinated Notes into common stock of CanArgo as an alternative to accepting repayment of the Repayment Subordinated Notes and (b) the right to receive interest on the Repayment Subordinated Notes in respect of the period between, on the one hand, the date on which CanArgo would otherwise have served notice of early repayment and, on the other hand, the date on which actual repayment (or conversion) of the Repayment Subordinated Notes would otherwise have taken place; and
•		in order to compensate the Subordinated Noteholders for giving up the aforesaid rights, CanArgo agreed to issue to the Subordinated Noteholders warrants to purchase certain shares (subsequently agreed upon as warrants to purchase 3,750,000 shares) at an exercise price of $1.00 per share, subject to adjustment, of CanArgo’s common stock, par value $0.10 per share, expiring at close of business on November 13, 2007 (the “Subordinated Note Compensatory Warrants”), the aggregate number of all such Subordinated Note Compensatory Warrants being calculated in accordance with the terms of the Amendment, Consent and Waiver Agreement; and
•		accordingly CanArgo and the Subordinated Noteholders agreed to amend the Note Purchase Agreement and the Repayment Subordinated Notes to give effect to the foregoing.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

August 13, 2007 – Guernsey, Channel Islands — CanArgo Energy Corporation (OSE: CNR, AMEX:CNR) (“CanArgo” or the “Corporation” or the “Company”) today announced that following on from the recent sale of its interest in Tethys Petroleum Limited (“TPL”) the net proceeds have been used to pay down a large portion of CanArgo’s long-term convertible debt (as obliged in terms of its

contractual arrangements with the holders of these notes). In addition, a small private placement, as more fully described below, of CanArgo common stock has been agreed, priced at $1.00 per share, with the proceeds to be used to advance the planned hydraulic fracturing of the Manavi M12 well, with Schlumberger now having been contracted to mobilise the required equipment to Georgia to commence these operations in early October.

Approximately $21 million of net proceeds were received from the sale of TPL stock and these funds have been applied to repay all of the Corporation’s Senior Secured Notes and part of the Corporation’s Senior Subordinated Notes. The amounts repaid include the original principal and interest payable in kind principal, accrued interest and an early redemption premium in accordance with the provisions of the convertible notes. The noteholders have agreed to forego the notice period (up to 120 days for the Senior Secured Notes and up to 90 days for the Senior Subordinated Notes) for the repayment of this debt (and accordingly their right to receive interest during such period) and consequently their rights to convert all or part of their notes into common stock of CanArgo at a conversion price of $0.90 per share for the Senior Secured Notes and $1.00 per share for the Senior Subordinated Notes during the notice period for which they have been issued short-term compensatory warrants, priced at $1.00 per share and expiring between November 13 and December 6, 2007.

Following repayment of these notes, as described above, CanArgo will have outstanding approximately $15.2 million of convertible debt remaining, excluding unamortized debt discount.

CanArgo has also entered into a subscription agreement with three accredited investors in terms of which CanArgo has agreed to issue those investors by way of a private placement 2,500,000 shares of CanArgo common stock at $1.00 per share, thus raising gross proceeds of $2,500,000. In consideration for the investors agreeing to make the subscription, CanArgo has also agreed to issue to the investors warrants to subscribe for an aggregate of 5 million shares of common stock of CanArgo. The warrants will have an exercise price of $1.00 per share and will be exercisable up to the end of August, 2009.

The information in Item 7.01 of this Report (including its exhibit) shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to liability of that section. The information in Item 7.01 of this Report (including its exhibit) shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed under the Securities Act or the Exchange Ac, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
