ITEM 7.01 REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE
 
On November 1, 2005, Harken Energy Corporation (the “Company”) announced that Global Energy Development PLC (“Global”) had raised $12,500,000 through the issue of unsecured variable coupon convertible notes due October 30, 2005 (the “Notes”). The Company currently holds 11,892,922 ordinary Global shares, representing approximately 34% of Global’s issued share capital.
 
The Notes, which were issued to a Swiss-based fund manager, have an annual coupon of 5% for the first three years, 6% from October 2008 to October 2010 and 7% thereafter with interest payable quarterly in arrears. The Notes are convertible into ordinary shares of Global at 305.8 pence per ordinary share, which represents a premium of 10% to the closing mid-market price on October 28, 2005, the last trading day prior to the delivery of the Notes.
