Chicago, Jan. 3 - FairWest Energy Corp. said it wrapped a private placement of shares for C$2.29 million after upsizing the deal to C$2.6 million on Dec. 28. The placement priced for C$2.1 million on Nov. 30.

The company issued 32,714,330 flow-through common shares at C$0.07 each. The company had targeted 37,142,858 flow-through common shares at that price.

The price per share is a 7.69% premium to C$0.065, the Nov. 29 closing share price.

A director purchased C$20,000 of the offering, and a "significant" company shareholder purchased C$2.1 million shares, according to a company press release.
