Unigold Inc. TSX-V: UGD & DIFX: UGD, Private Placement Financing
Unigold Inc. (the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement in connection with an offering of up to 58,823,500 units of the Company ("Units") at a price of Cdn$0.17 per Unit for gross proceeds of approximately Cdn$10,000,000 (the "Offering"). Dundee Securities Corporation together with PowerOne Capital Markets Limited (collectively the "Agents") have agreed to act as agents on a best efforts agency basis with respect to the Offering. In connection with the Offering, the Company has granted to the Agents an option which entitles the Agents, until the time which is 48 hours prior to the closing of the Offering, to increase the size of the Offering by up to an additional 8,823,525 Units which would result in additional gross proceeds to the Company of approximately Cdn$1,500,000.
Each Unit will consist of one common share of the Company and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to acquire one common share of the Company at a price of $0.30 at any time until the date which is 24 months after the date of the closing of the Offering. In the event that the closing trading price of the common shares of the Company on the TSX Venture Exchange (or such other stock exchange or quotation system on which the common shares are listed and where a majority of the trading volume occurs) exceeds $0.45, for a period of 20 consecutive trading days, the Company may provide notice to the holders of Warrants that the Company intends to accelerate the expiry of the Warrants and that the Warrants will thereafter expire on the date which is 30 days after the date that such notice was provided to the holders of Warrants.
The net proceeds of the offering will be used by the Company (i) to conduct exploration activities in respect of the mineral exploration projects of the Company located in the Dominican Republic, and (ii) for general corporate purposes.
The Offering is expected to close on or about December 1, 2009 or such other date as is agreed between the Company and the Agents and is subject to all necessary approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
These securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the securities laws of any state and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to US persons (as defined in Regulation S of the US Securities Act) unless an exemption from registration is available.
About Unigold Inc.
Unigold Inc. is exploring to find and develop gold deposits on its 100-per-cent-owned 226 km(sup)2 (/sup)Neita property located in the Dominican Republic. Having the largest land package in the Dominican Republic, the goal is to target bulk tonnage, open pitable, oxide gold deposits within a very similar geological setting to the world class Pueblo Viejo gold project located 150 kilometres to the south-east. The economics of any discovery will be significantly improved by the fact that Unigold Inc. benefits from an 18-year holiday on all corporate taxes, sales taxes and import duties in the Dominican Republic.
