EXPLANATORY NOTE
Midway Gold Corp. (the “Company” or the “Registrant”) is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to its Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Post-Effective Amendment”) to deregister 7,715,935 common shares of the Company, no par value (“Common Shares”) originally registered by the Company pursuant to its Registration Statement on Form S-8 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on May 11, 2012, File No. 333-181337 (the “2012 Form S-8”), for issuance upon exercise of stock options granted under the Company’s 2008 Stock Option Plan adopted on May 6, 2003 and amended on May 12, 2008 (the “2008 Option Plan”). A total of 7,715,935 Common Shares were initially registered for issuance under the 2012 Form S-8. As of June 30, 2013, 7,715,935 Common Shares remained available for issuance under the 2012 Form S-8.
On June 20, 2013, the Company’s shareholders, upon the recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors, adopted the Company’s 2013 Stock and Incentive Plan (the “2013 Incentive Plan”). Pursuant to Section 4(a) of the 2013 Incentive Plan, any Common Shares subject to awards under the 2008 Option Plan that, after June 20, 2013, are not purchased or are forfeited or reacquired by the Company, or otherwise not delivered to the participant due to termination or cancellation of such award (subject to certain exceptions) shall again be available for granting awards under the 2013 Incentive Plan. As a result, 7,715,935 of the Common Shares registered on the 2012 Form S-8 remain available for issuance under 2013 Form S-8 (as defined below).
Contemporaneously with the filing of this Post-Effective Amendment, the Registrant is filing a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “2013 Form S-8”) to register additional Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of awards granted under the 2013 Incentive Plan. In accordance with Rule 457(p) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Registrant will carry over the registration fees paid with respect to the Common Shares registered pursuant to the 2012 Form S-8 to offset the registration fees due in connection with the 2013 Form S-8.
Pursuant to the requirements of the United States Securities Act on 1933, as amended the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, City of Englewood, State of Colorado, on this 12th day of August, 2013.
