On August 16, 2012, MagneGas Corporation, a Delaware Corporation (the “Company”) and certain stockholders of the Company (the “Selling Stockholders”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Northland Securities, Inc. acting severally on behalf of itself and the underwriter named in Schedule III thereto (the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which the Company and the Selling Stockholders agreed to sell, and the Underwriters agreed to purchase for resale to the public (the “Offering”), subject to the terms and conditions expressed therein, an aggregate 2,850,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”), at a price to the public of $3.00 per share, less underwriting discounts and commissions.  In addition, the Company and Selling Stockholders granted the Underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 427,500 Shares to cover over-allotments, if any.

The Company expects the Offering to close on or about August 21, 2012, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.  The Underwriting Agreement provides that the Company will indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or to reimburse the Underwriters for payments that the Underwriters may be required to make because of such liabilities.
