Toreador Resources Corporation (NASDAQ: TRGL) (“Toreador”) today announced that Toreador stockholders approved the stockholder proposals regarding the previously announced combination with ZaZa Energy, LLC (“ZaZa”), a privately held oil and gas company based in Houston, Texas, at Toreador’s special meeting of shareholders.

Approximately 64 percent of the outstanding shares of common stock of Toreador as of the record date were voted at the special meeting. Of the shares that were voted, approximately 96 percent were voted in favor of the merger. Toreador and ZaZa are working to complete a financing transaction and expect to close this transaction and the combination shortly.

Mr. Adam Kroloff, Toreador Chairman, said, “I would like to thank our stockholders for their support. We are pleased to have their strong backing for this transformational combination.”

Mr. Craig McKenzie, Toreador President and CEO, said, “Through the combination with ZaZa, we believe that the new company will have a compelling platform for future growth given the immediate and sustainable production potential in the Eagle Ford and Woodbine resource plays, supplemented by an attractive exposure to the potential of the Paris Basin.”

The merger will create a resource-focused exploration and production company with a combined portfolio in the Eagle Ford and Eaglebine resource plays in Texas and the Paris Basin in France, with a current total of approximately 500,000 net acres.

Upon closing, the new company, ZaZa Energy Corporation, will be headquartered in Houston, Texas, with offices in Corpus Christi, Texas and Paris, France, and is expected to trade on the NASDAQ under the stock ticker symbol “ZAZA”.
