Cielo Announces Extension of Term Loan

CALGARY, AB / ACCESSWIRE / March 19, 2022 / Cielo Waste Solutions Corp. (TSXV:CMC)(OTCQB:CWSFF) ("Cielo" or the "Company"), a waste-to-fuel environmental technology company, is pleased to announce the extension of the term of a previously announced mortgage loan from 12 months to 24 months (the "Loan Extension"). All amounts in this news release are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated.

On August 24, 2021, the Company announced the closing of a $12.0 million mortgage loan (the "Loan") in connection with the acquisition of a 60-acre industrial site with a 31,750 square foot industrial building in Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta. The Loan had a 12-month term, which has been extended to 24 months, maturing on September 1, 2023.

As announced on February 22, 2022, the Company repaid $5.5 million of the Loan. The remaining outstanding principal balance of the Loan is $6.5 million after the partial repayment.

In consideration for the Loan Extension, Cielo has agreed to use the proceeds of the exercise of any and all bonus warrants held by First Choice Financial ("FCF"), the lender of the Loan (whether issued in respect of the Loan or any other loans owed to FCF thereafter) to pay down the balance of the Loan.

"FCF is pleased to support Cielo's vision to lead the waste-to-fuel industry using environmentally friendly, economically sustainable technology", said Vikas Sharma, Chief Executive Officer of FCF. "FCF looks forward to continuing to support Cielo in achieving its milestones."

The Loan Extension has greatly improved the Company's liquidity and reduced the short-term liabilities that become due in the next 12 months.

ABOUT CIELO

Cielo Waste Solutions Corp. was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on February 2, 2011. Cielo is a publicly traded company with its shares listed to trade on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") under the symbol "CMC", as well as on the OTC Venture Market ("OTCQB"), under the symbol "CWSFF".

The Company's strategic intent is to become one of the leading waste-to-fuel environmental technology companies using its environmentally friendly, economically sustainable technology. Cielo has a patented process that can convert waste feedstocks, including plastics, rubber, organic material and wood derivative waste to fuel. Cielo's business model is to source waste feedstocks from industrial producers and other suppliers and convert the feedstocks into fuels. Having demonstrated its ability to produce diesel and naphtha from waste, Cielo plans to further enhance its Aldersyde facility and to construct additional facilities that will convert waste feedstocks to energy fuels, including diesel, naphtha, and kerosene. The diesel from Cielo's distillate could be used in diesel engines. Kerosene could be suitable for aviation or marine jet fuel, and naphtha could be used to assist in transporting heavy oil. Cielo's objective is to generate value from converting waste to fuel while ridding the world of unwanted and problematic waste.
