Each Unit is comprised of one common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant of Mega, and each Flow-Through Unit is comprised of one common share that is a “flow-through share” within the meaning in the Income Tax Act (Canada) and one-half of one common share purchase warrant of Mega. Each whole common share purchase warrant is exercisable to purchase one common share of Mega for a period of 24 months from the date of closing of the Offering at a price of $0.70. In total, Mega issued 4,190,000 Units and 11,871,600 Flow-Through Units for gross proceeds of $9,937,240 in the Offering and the President’s List Private Placement.
In connection with the Offering, a syndicate of agents led by Octagon Capital Corporation and including PowerOne Capital Markets Limited and Stonecap Securities Inc. (collectively, the "Agents"), received a commission equal to 7% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the Offering and compensation warrants exercisable at any time for a period of 24 months following the closing of the Offering, to purchase up to an aggregate of 27,888 common shares of Mega, representing 7% of the total number of Units and Flow Through Units issued pursuant to the Offering, at an exercise price of $0.53 per common share.
The net proceeds from the sale of Units will be used to fund Mega’s exploration and development activities, and for general corporate and working capital purposes. The proceeds from the sale of Flow-Through Units will be used by Mega to incur Canadian exploration ("CEE") on the continued exploration of Mega’s mineral properties prior to December 31, 2012. Mega has agreed to budget $6 million for CEE for its Monument Bay project in Manitoba and $1 million for CEE for its projects in Ontario. Additional proceeds received from the sale of Flow-Through Units will be allocated pro rata between CEE for the Company’s Monument Bay project and its projects in Ontario. Mega will renounce the CEE to subscribers of the Flow-Through Units effective on or prior to December 31, 2011.
Further to its news release dated August 26, 2011, the Company is continuing to proceed with its previously announced private placement with the Red Sucker Lake First Nation and the Province of Manitoba.
