Argex Titanium Holds Second Closing of Private Placement for $780,000

Montréal, Québec (FSCwire) - Argex Titanium Inc. (TSX: RGX) (“Argex”) is pleased to announce that it has held a second closing of its previously announced private placement at which it issued 24,371,875 additional units to Mr. Munther Khalifa A Allahiq at a price of $0.032 per unit for gross proceeds to Argex of approximately $780,000.  The second closing followed clearance by the Toronto Stock Exchange of a “Personal Information Form” submitted by Mr. Allahiq in light of the number of units for which he subscribed.

Each of the units is comprised of one common share and one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles its holder to acquire one additional Argex common share at a price of $0.041 for a period of five years.

Argex will use the proceeds from the second closing for working capital.

Argex issued a total of 43,746,875 units to Mr. Allahiq in the private placement for gross proceeds to Argex of approximately $1.4 million.  Mr. Allahiq is the brother of Mazen Alnaimi, Argex’s Chairman and CEO. Argex considers that the private placement was at arm’s length.

The securities issued at the second closing of the private placement are subject to a four-month “hold period” under applicable securities regulations.
