MAGINDUSTRIES CORP. ANNOUNCES TERMS OF EQUITY FINANCING
MagIndustries Corp. (“Mag” or the “Company”) (TSX:MAA) announced today that, in connection with its previously announced public offering, it has agreed, subject to the execution of a definitive underwriting agreement, expected later today, to sell 50,000,000 common shares of the Company (the "Common Shares") at a price of Cdn$0.40 per Share to raise gross proceeds of Cdn$20,000,000 (the "Offering") through a syndicate of underwriters led by Cormark Securities Inc. and BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc., and including Canaccord Financial Ltd. and Jennings Capital Inc. (collectively, the "Underwriters"). The Common Shares are being offered by way of a short form prospectus in the provinces of Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia (the “Qualifying Provinces”).
The Underwriters have also been granted an option to purchase up to an additional 7,500,000 Common Shares on the same terms and conditions as the Offering, exercisable at any time, in whole or in part, up to 30 days from the closing of the Offering (the "Over-Allotment Option"). If the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full, the total gross proceeds to Mag will be Cdn$23,000,000.
The Offering is scheduled to close on or about February 24, 2010 and is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals, including the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange.
The net proceeds of the Offering will be applied to working capital and general corporate purposes as the Company concludes the agreements contemplated in the Project Development Framework announced in a press release dated February 1, 2010, and during the construction of its Mengo Potash Project, scheduled to start November 2010.
The Common Shares offered have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or applicable exemption from the registration requirements. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the Common Shares in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
