Pangea Petroleum Corporation (OTCBB:PAPO) announced that it has cancelled 11,653,998 common shares or approximately 4% of the shares outstanding. These shares were part of the shares included in the stock issuances for the year ended December 31, 2001 under a Securities Purchase Agreement whereby the Company issued 16,149,998 shares of restricted common stock to an escrow agent for the benefit of four investor groups in exchange for $1,300,000 in cash.
