Capital Pro-Égaux Inc. (NEX: CPE.H) Announces Settlement Agreement

MORIN-HEIGHTS, QC, Dec. 19, 2019 /CNW Telbec/ - Capital Pro-Égaux Inc. (the "Company") (NEX: CPE.H) announces that its wholly owned subsidiary, Technique d'usinage Sinlab Inc. ("Sinlab"), has entered into a confidential settlement agreement and mutual general release (the "Confidential Settlement Agreement") relating to the professional negligence action for damages commenced in 2013 in Florida against Sinlab's counsel who represented Sinlab in litigation in Virginia against certain entities who violated Sinlab's pioneering digital dentistry patent portfolio (the "Action").

Pursuant to the Confidential Settlement Agreement, the Action has been resolved to the mutual satisfaction of the parties. The Confidential Settlement Agreement requires that terms thereof remain confidential.

With this most recent development regarding the Action, and taking into account the expiration of Sinlab's patents in the dental prosthesis restoration industry, the Board of Directors will need to undertake a review of strategic alternatives available to the Company in terms of its business prospects and use of available cash, which may include a cash distribution to its shareholders, the sale of the Company, the monetization of the Company's public vehicle, including by way of a reverse takeover transaction with an operating venture, and the liquidation and dissolution of the Company. At this point in time, the payment of a cash distribution to shareholders ranks amongst one of the top objectives of the Board of Directors.

The Company will need to incur costs and expenses in relation to the conduct of this review process and the implementation of any alternatives that may be selected. The Company intends to make additional announcements as warranted upon new developments taking place.
