TSX-V: CST
QUEBEC CITY, May 29, 2017 /CNW Telbec/ - CO2 Solutions Inc. (TSXV: CST)
("CO2 Solutions" or the "Corporation"), leader in the field of enzyme-enabled carbon capture technology, today
announced that it intends to file an application with the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V") to extend the expiry date of common
share purchase warrants of the Corporation originally issued in the context of a private placement of units on July 3 and July 17, 2014 (the "Warrants").
Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share of the Corporation at a price of $0.25 per common share. A total of 20,232,333 Warrants remain outstanding as of the date hereof and are
scheduled to expire on July 3, 2017. As a result of market conditions during the term of the
Warrants and the capital raising opportunity represented by the Warrants, the Board of Directors of the Corporation has approved
the extension of the original expiry date of the Warrants so that the term will be extended by twelve (12) months from
July 3, 2017 to July 3, 2018. The other terms of the Warrants,
including the exercise price, will remain unchanged. The extension of the expiry date of the Warrants is subject to the approval
of the TSX-V.
2,933,333 Warrants are held by persons who are considered "related parties" of the Corporation. Therefore, the amendment of
the Warrants constitutes a "related party transaction" as contemplated by Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of
Minority Shareholders in Special Transactions (Regulation 61-101 respecting Protection of Minority Security Holders in
Special Transactions in Quebec) ("MI 61-101"). The amendment of the Warrants is exempt from
the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101, as neither the fair market value of securities
held by the related parties nor the consideration being paid by related parties will exceed 25% of the Corporation's market
capitalization.
