Earth Alive Undertakes $1M Financing

MONTREAL, Feb. 15, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Earth Alive Clean Technologies Inc. (CSE: EAC) ("Earth Alive" or the "Corporation"), announces that it has undertaken to complete a private placement financing, through the offering of 4,545,454 units of the Corporation (the "Units") at a price of $0.22 each, for total maximum proceeds of $1,000,000.  Each Unit will consist of one common share and one common share purchase warrant (the "Warrant"), with each Warrant entitling the holder to purchase one common share of the Corporation at the price of $0.25, for a period of 36 months following the closing of the private placement. 

Groupe Lune Rouge Inc., currently an insider of the Corporation by virtue of owning  21,228,572 common shares (approximately 18.51% of the outstanding common shares) is expected to subscribe for Units in the amount of $500,000.  Upon closing of the financing, they would then hold 23,501,299 common shares (approximately 19.71% with completion of the maximum offering) and, assuming the exercise of all of their outstanding convertible securities, 27%, on a partial dilution basis.  Pursuant to Regulation 61-101 Respecting protection of minority security holders in special transactions, this investment constitutes a "related party transaction" however, the Corporation anticipates that this transaction will be exempt from the obligations of obtaining minority shareholder approval and a formal valuation, as the fair market value of the consideration for the transaction, as it involves Groupe Lune Rouge Inc., does not exceed 25% of Earth Alive' market capitalization, in accordance with Sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(a) of Regulation 61-101. A material change report in respect of this transaction will be filed however, the Corporation could not do so 21 days prior to the anticipated closing as their intent to participate was known at such time.         

"The proceeds will enable us to increase our commercialization efforts and ensure that we have adequate working capital" stated Michael Warren, President & CEO. "We are very pleased by Groupe Lune Rouge Inc.'s decision to increase their holdings in Earth Alive and their show of support."

The transactions hereby contemplated are subject to regulatory approvals, if any, including completion of filings with the CSE and customary closing conditions.  All securities issued hereunder will subject to a four month and one day hold period from the date of issue.  The CSE has neither approved nor disapproved the contents of this press release. The CSE does not accept responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
