Manas Petroleum prices $30 million public sale of common-share units

Agent Noble must raise at least $20 million through offering

By Devika Patel

Knoxville, Tenn., May 2 - Manas Petroleum Corp. priced a public sale of between $20 million and $30 million of its units, according to a prospectus supplement filed Monday with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Noble International Investment, Inc., the agent, is conducting the offering on a "reasonable commercial efforts all or nothing" basis until $20 million is raised and on a "reasonable commercial efforts" basis after that until $30 million is raised.

The company will sell between 40 million and 60 million units of one common share and one warrant at $0.50 apiece, with each warrant exercisable at $0.70 for three years. The strike price reflects a 59.09% premium to the April 29 closing share price of $0.44.

Of the proceeds, 20% will be used for seismic activities, 45% for drilling, 2% for geological and geophysical work, 7% for production sharing contract costs and 27% for working capital.

If the company does not raise at least $20 million by May 10, the proceeds will be returned to participating investors and the sale canceled.

Manas is a Baar, Switzerland-based oil exploration and development company.
