,
Sept. 28
/CNW/ - Mira Resources Corp. (NEX: MRP.H) ("Mira Resources" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with Haywood Securities Inc. ("Haywood") pursuant to which Haywood has agreed to purchase 50,000,000 subscription receipts (each, a "Subscription Receipt") to be issued by the Company at a price of
$0.30
per Subscription Receipt for gross proceeds of
$15,000,000
. Subject to certain conditions, including the Company obtaining an onshore oil and gas concession in
Ghana
, which the Company has an interest in obtaining due to oil and gas prospectivity, and reactivation of Mira Resources and the listing of its common shares for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") (collectively, the "Release Conditions"), each Subscription Receipt will entitle the holder thereof to one common share of the Company and one share purchase warrant (each, a "Warrant") to purchase one common share of Mira Resources at a price of
$0.50
per share at any time on or before the date that is 24 months following the closing date of the offering. The offering is being conducted in
Canada
on a private placement basis and is subject to regulatory approvals. The offering is to be made pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act"). The offering has not and will not be registered under the Act and none of the Subscription Receipts or any common shares or Warrants issuable upon conversion of the Subscription Receipts may be offered or sold in the
United States
absent registration under the Act or the availability of an applicable exemption from registration requirements. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any security.
Closing of the offering is expected to occur on or about
October 16, 2009
. Proceeds from the offering will be held in escrow with a Canadian trust company until the Release Conditions are met. If the Release Conditions are not satisfied on or before the date which is 90 days following the closing date of the offering, then the subscription proceeds will be returned to purchasers with interest. The use of proceeds are for exploration and development of the onshore oil and gas concession and for general corporate purposes.
The offering forms part of the Company's reactivation plan and anticipated eligibility to re-list its common shares on the Exchange. It is anticipated that if the Ministry of Energy in
Ghana
decides to award the onshore oil and gas concession to Mira Resources, this will occur before
November 30, 2009
. Details regarding the concession and the ancillary transactions relating to the acquisition of the transaction will be contained in the filing statement to be prepared in connection with the transaction and press releases to be issued by the Company from time to time.
The Company also announces that at the request of the Company, Marek Kreczmer has today resigned as Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company.
