thanks for that explanation. I am not sure what the news means or how it effects MNAP. However, after trading below a penny for over a year and then increasing over the last couple weeks by several 100 %, it certainly seems positive. Also, if a company is willing to risk 60 million, they must like the prospects, AND MNAP will now have plenty of funds to explore.
Congrats to those that held on !!!

Good question. If $35 million buys 60%, the remaining 40% is worth (4/6)x $35 = $23.33 million.
Divide that by the number of shares outstanding, around 172 million, and we get a stock price of 13.5 cents/share.
I'm not sure why the stock price has gone down on this news. Perhaps some people who bought in at 2 cents or under are looking to take profits.
Also, given the history of failed deals, some investors are probably waiting to see the first $3 million hit the Company's bank account before becoming believers.
Then again, judging from how few messages there are here, I'm not sure how many people are following this stock anymore. Management needs to get the news out to the street.
In the medium term, after the $3 million is in the bank and investors realize this is for real, the stock price should head to the 13-14 cent range.

The Agreement contemplates that MNP will issue an aggregate of 258,955,325 common shares (approximately 60% of the issued and outstanding common shares after adjusting for the issuance) in exchange for an investment into MNP and its projects of up to US$35,000,000. Only a portion of the purchase price - US$4,000,000 - will be in the form of cash paid to MNP - the balance is to be invested directly into work programs on MNP's oil and gas properties in Tajikistan over a 24 month period, as well as the construction of a community development project (the construction of a school in the Farkhor District of Tajikistan).
In the first stage, MNP proposes to issue 43,000,000 common shares to GSCP for cash consideration of US$3,000,000 to be paid to MNP. After adjusting for the issuance of these common shares, GSCP would own approximately 19.95% of the issued and outstanding common shares of MNP. The Agreement contemplates that this first stage will close shortly after receipt of all required regulatory and stock exchange approvals (this closing date will then be the "Effective Date" of the Agreement). Also on the Effective Date, MNP has agreed to cause one of its five directors to resign and appoint one GSCP nominee to fill that vacancy, and it will permit GSCP to designate a new Chief Operating Officer and a Corporate Secretary to be appointed by the MNP Board of Directors on the Effective Date.
In the second stage, the Agreement contemplates that MNP will issue up to 93,000,000 common shares to GSCP for a purchase price of US$1,000,000 cash to MNP and up to US$6,500,000 to be invested by GSCP in the Tajik community development project, which was originally undertaken by MNP as part of the acquisition transaction of EPA.at Beteiligungsgesellschaft m.b.H. ("EPA"). The Agreement contemplates that the construction of the new school should be completed by August 1, 2018, that GSCP will pay the US$1,000,000 to MNP six months after the Effective Date and the second stage shares will be issued on the first anniversary of the Effective Date.
In the third stage, the Agreement contemplates that MNP will issue to GSCP an additional 122,955,325 common shares on the second anniversary of the Effective Date in exchange for the financing of an interest free facility by GSCP, over the 24 month period beginning on the Effective Date, of US$25,000,000 or its equivalent in work programs on the two exploration concessions in Tajikistan owned by DWM Petroleum's Tajik subsidiary CJSC Somon Oil and the redevelopment of the oilfield project owned by Petroleum Sugd LLC. Petroleum Sugd LLC, a Tajik company owned by EPA (as to 57.42%) and Sugdneftugas (as to 42.58%), owns ten (10) producing oilfields in Northern Tajikistan. Sugdneftugas is wholly-owned by the Government of Tajikistan. TF Petroleum AG
