Emergia Inc. ? Status Update

MONTREAL, Aug. 12, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (CSE: EMER) Emergia Inc. (the "Corporation" or "EMERGIA") is pleased to update the status of the Corporation's projects and assets.

"We are pleased to announce that the Corporation is in line with its 2022 plan of action. Indeed, the Corporation managed to sell its property in Lac Brome for the expected price of $1.8 million indicated in its 2021 year-end and in its Q1-2022 financial statements and corresponding MD&As, which sale is expected to close in the coming weeks. We are also proud to announce that the management closed on the conversion of convertible debentures for an amount in capital and interests totalling $2.35 million in July. Since the proceeds of the sale of the Lac Brome property will be applied against debts, these transactions will allow Emergia to reduce its debt by $4.15 million in July and August, reducing its global debt ratio under 40%." said Henri Petit, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation.

"Furthermore, we are pleased to announce that the Corporation's development projects in Bromont and Dorval in the province of Quebec, and Alliston in Ontario, are progressing as expected. Additional information will be communicated in the coming weeks with respect to the advancement of the said developments" added Henri Petit.

More detailed information is contained in the Q1-2022 Quarterly Report, available under the Corporation's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
