The Private Placement resulted in the issuance of 20,000,000 units ("Units") at a price of $0.25 per Unit. Each Unit was composed of one common share of Unigold and three-quarters (¾) of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant a "Warrant").

The securities issued under the Private Placement are subject to a four month hold period in Canada, which expires on October 11, 2013. Assuming no exercise of the Warrants, the common shares of the Company issued to IFC represent 8.94% of the outstanding shares of the Company.
