Clean Teq Announces Withdrawal of AGM Resolution

MELBOURNE, Australia, Oct. 14, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Clean TeQ Holdings Limited (?Clean TeQ' or ?Company') (ASX/TSX:CLQ; OTCQX:CTEQF) advises that Resolution 7 (Share Consolidation) of the 2020 Notice of Annual General Meeting is withdrawn from the business of the meeting.

Resolution 7 is being withdrawn due to the fact that the Australian Securities Exchange's (?ASX') and Toronto Securities Exchange's (?TSX') back office settlement systems and processes are not able to be aligned in order to implement the Share Consolidation while also allowing for shares to continue to trade on TSX post-consolidation. Rather than proceeding with the Share Consolidation and ceasing trading on TSX with very little notice to those shareholders, the Company has instead decided to withdraw the resolution. The Board of Directors are obviously very disappointed with this result, which has occurred despite the best efforts of the Company's representatives in working with both of those organisations to achieve a satisfactory outcome.

The Board of Directors wishes to thank shareholders for their support of Resolution 7, with 96% of shares voted at the close of proxy voting in favour of the Share Consolidation. Given the very strong support of shareholders for the Share Consolidation, the Directors intend to put the resolution to shareholders again once it is practical to do so.

This announcement is authorised for release to the market by the Board of Directors of Clean TeQ Holdings Limited.
