The company hired J. Streicher Capital LLC for six months from August 14, 2014 to help with trade shows, investor contact and roadshows, paying US$7,500 upfront plus US$7,500 a month and expenses. It also granted Streicher 750,000 stock options at US$0.076, US$0.084 and US$0.090 (250,000 each), vesting over twelve months and expiring after five years, subject to TSX Venture approval. This adds a small amount of potential dilution.
Effective November 22, 2011 Manas hired General Research GmbH for investor relations, mainly in Europe, at EUR 5,000 a month plus expenses, running to November 16, 2013, and granted 500,000 options at $0.20 until November 23, 2016. This is another small service contract with an option grant.
On September 22, 2011 Manas issued 2,000,000 shares to one of its directors, partly as pay for past services and partly as an incentive to keep serving. This is a small dilutive issue to an insider.
Effective September 1, 2011 Manas hired Brisco Capital Partners for investor relations and marketing at US$10,000 a month for six months unless extended, and granted 500,000 options at $0.225 until September 1, 2016. This is a small service contract with an option grant.
On December 6, 2010 Manas issued 2,000,000 shares to a consultant for services (half locked up for 12 months, half for 24). On December 9 it also issued 3,527 shares under a consulting agreement paying $150 an hour, two-thirds in cash and one-third in shares. These are small dilutive issues paid for services.
On June 2, 2010 Manas granted a consultant options on 150,000 shares at $0.80, expiring June 2, 2013 and vesting in 12 quarterly instalments. This is a small option grant.
What it means for a shareholder
150,000 new shares at US$0.800 to raise about US$120,000. Shares on issue before the raise aren't in the record, so the dilution can't be worked out.
On April 26 and 30, 2010, Manas issued 1,334,746 and 50,000 shares at $0.59 each on exercise of earlier warrants, both to non-U.S. persons. This continues the run of warrant exercises and adds a small amount of dilution.
What it means for a shareholder
50,000 new shares at US$0.590 to raise about US$29,500. Shares on issue before the raise aren't in the record, so the dilution can't be worked out.
Between March 31 and April 10, 2010, Manas issued 2,447,387 new shares (150,000 + 677,966 + 291,763 + 342,627 + 985,031) at $0.59 each when existing warrant holders exercised, all to non-U.S. persons. This brings in cash and slightly dilutes existing holders.
On April 28, 2009 Manas granted options on 4,400,000 shares at $0.26 per share, expiring April 28, 2012, to three people: an officer, an employee and an executive of a consultant. They vest in 12 quarterly installments. The filing's header says April 28, 2008, which looks like a typo (inference).
What it means for a shareholder
4.4m new shares at US$0.260 to raise about US$1.1m. Shares on issue before the raise aren't in the record, so the dilution can't be worked out.
On October 21, 2008 Manas issued 1,160,000 bonus shares to employees, officers and a director, with a six-month lock-up and, for all but 60,000 shares, a 3% per quarter limit on sales. This adds a small number of new shares.
On September 4, 2008 Manas sold 4,000,000 units at $0.65 each ($2,600,000) to two US investors. Each unit has one share, one warrant exercisable at $0.95 for two years, and a share of rights in Mongolia's Sulinkheer 13 and 14 contracts, totalling 8% of Manas's interest there. This adds new shares and warrants, and gives away part of the Mongolian interest; the units were priced far below the $4.50 paid in July 2007 and the $2.10 warrant strike from May 2008 (inference: share value fell). The filing also lists an Item 4.02 restatement notice, but the text shown does not describe one. The 8% interest granted here looks like the same 8% promised to the August debenture holder, but the filing does not say whether they are the same.

On August 19, 2008 Manas and Santos amended their 2006 Kyrgyzstan farm-in so that Santos starts the Phase 2 work program (drilling three exploration and three appraisal wells) on October 1, 2008, alongside Phase 1, rather than after it. Separately, on August 18 Manas borrowed $2 million through two-year 8% convertible debentures, secured on its Kyrgyz assets and convertible at the price of a future public offering. Debenture holders also receive an interest in 8% of Manas's interest in Mongolian lots 13 and 14. The Santos change speeds up the work Santos funds; the loan adds secured debt.
16 May 2008capital raising announcement● NeutralMajor
On May 15, 2008 Manas issued $4,000,000 of two-year convertible debentures at 8% interest to four non-US investors, with 1,000,000 two-year warrants at $2.10 per share. Interest and principal can be paid in cash or in shares priced at 90% of the recent average price, and the debentures must be redeemed if a public offering of at least $20 million is completed. This adds debt and potential dilution; the filing says some conversion terms had not yet been reviewed or approved by the investors.

Manas arranged a private placement of 825,227 units at $4.50 each, for gross proceeds of up to $3,687,992, effective July 31, 2007. Each unit has one share and one warrant exercisable at $5.50 until July 31, 2009; proceeds are for working capital, and commissions were $155,759 plus 33,289 warrants. New shares and warrants dilute existing holders.

825,227 new shares at US$4.50 to raise about US$3.7m. Shares on issue before the raise aren't in the record, so the dilution can't be worked out.
