TORONTO, June 29 /CNW/ - Augen Capital Corp. ("Augen") (TSX-V: AUG) wishes to announce that it has completed a non-brokered private placement of 3,333,334 units at $0.30 for gross proceeds of $1,000,000. Each unit consists of one common share at a price of $0.30 and one non-transferable common share purchase warrant (the "warrant"). Each full warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional common share (the "warrant share") of the Company at a price of $0.35 per warrant share for a period of twenty four months from the closing date. Subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, Augen will pay finder's fees of up to 5% cash and 2% broker warrants to arm's length persons. The common shares and warrants are subject to a four-month hold period. "Augen decided to limit the total funds raised to $1 million as it is currently examining several alternate financings through new strategic partnerships which would not be dilutive to existing shareholders. Augen experienced an exceptional first quarter in fiscal 2006 with substantial capital gains in its proprietary merchant banking portfolio. The merchant banking portfolio is becoming substantial and is improving Augen's ability to support resource deal-flow," said J. David Mason, chairman of Augen.
