MGMNF) (FSE: 8YD) (the "
Company
") is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement
with SCP Resource Finance LP and Desjardins Capital Markets, as co-lead agents, for and on behalf of
a syndicate of agents (collectively, the "
Agents
"), in connection with a "best efforts" private placement
offering by the Company of: (i) up to C$15 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured convertible
debentures of the Company (the "
Convertible Debentures
"), issued in ordinary multiples of C$1,000,
less an original issue discount (an "
OID
") of 2% of the principal amount of the Convertible Debentures
(the "
Debenture Offering
"); and (ii) up to 6,451,612 common shares of the Company (the "
Common
Shares
" and, together with the Convertible Debentures, the "
Offered Securities
") issued at a price of
C$1.55 per Common Share for aggregate gross proceeds of up to C$10 million (the "
Share Offering
"
and, together with the Debenture Offering, the "
Offering
").
In addition, the Company has granted the Agents an option to increase the size of the Offering by up to
15% of the number of Offered Securities, exercisable by the Agents, in whole or in part, at any time up to
three business days prior to the closing of the Offering.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to advance the Company's Sudbury
projects and for general corporate and working capital purposes.
The principal amount of the Convertible Debentures will bear interest at a fixed rate of 10.0% per annum,
payable in cash quarterly in arrears and will mature on the date that is four years from the Closing Date
(as defined herein) (the "
Maturity Date
"). The Convertible Debentures will be issued pursuant to the
terms of a debenture indenture to be entered into by the Company on or about the Closing Date (the
"
Debenture Indenture
").
The principal amount of each Convertible Debenture (excluding the amounts attributed to the OID) will be
convertible, at the election of the holder, into Common Shares at a conversion price of C$2.00 per
Common Share (the "
Conversion Price
") at any time until the earlier of (i) the business day preceding
the Maturity Date, and (ii) the date of repayment in full of the principal amount of the Convertible
Debentures and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
If at any time following the two-year anniversary of the closing date of the Offering (the "
Closing Date
"),
the daily volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange
(the "
Exchange
") equals or exceeds 150% of the Conversion Price (subject to adjustment in
accordance with the terms of the Debenture Indenture) for 20 consecutive trading days ("
Trading
Period
"), the Company shall have the right to elect, at any time during the three trading days after such
Trading Period, to have all of the principal amount outstanding under the Convertible Debentures
converted into Common Shares at the Conversion Price.
The Company has agreed to pay the Agents: (i) a cash commission equal to 4.0% of the gross
proceeds of the Debenture Offering other than the gross proceeds raised from the sale of Convertible
Debentures to those purchasers included on a president's list to be formed by the Company (the
"
President's List
"), in which case a reduced commission of 2.0% shall be payable; and (ii) a cash
commission of 6.0% of the gross proceeds of the Share Offering, other than the gross proceeds raised
from the sale of Common Shares to purchaser's included on the President's List, in which case a
reduced commission of 3.0% of the gross proceeds shall be payable.
The President's List shall be
determined by the Company, in its sole discretion, and shall be for a maximum of $5.0 million.
