Cielo Closes Early Warrant Exercise Incentive Program, Raising Over $2,000,000 in Proceeds, and Announces Conversion of Debt



Vancouver, British Columbia (FSCwire) - Cielo Waste Solutions Corp. ("Cielo" or the "Company") (CSE:CMC) is pleased to announce that it has successfully closed its Early Warrant Exercise Incentive Program (the “Program”), initially announced on June 6, 2018.  Cielo has received gross proceeds of $2,032,500 as a result of the exercise of 10,162,500 warrants (the “Warrants”).

 

As an incentive for the early exercise of the Warrants, each holder of Warrants who participated in the Program became entitled to receive $0.0875 per Warrant exercised, payable as a non-transferable fixed rate royalty (the “Royalty” or the “Royalties”), which will be paid out pro rata over an estimated period of two (2) years or less, in the discretion of management, considering the aggregate value of the Royalties issued and the Company’s cash flow requirements.  Cielo will allocate 10% of gross sales to the payment of the Royalties. 

 

Cielo is also pleased to announce that certain of its trade creditors have elected to convert their trade debt in an aggregate amount of $313,725 into 1,960,871 common shares at a price of $0.16 per shares, which shares will be subject to a 4 month hold.

 

Don Allan, President and CEO of Cielo, stated “We are extremely grateful for the support and belief in the Company from both the warrant holders that participated in our Early Warrant Exercise Incentive Program as well as our contractors, who elected to take their work fees in common shares.  This is significant as it demonstrates the belief from our stakeholders and contractors in the Company and the technology.  With the capital raised from the warrant exercise and debt settlement, we are financially well situated for operations during Phase 1.  We have just taken the first steps to prove the commerciality of our game-changing “green technology” that converts cellulosic waste into a high grade renewable diesel and we believe every step we take going forward could unlock significant shareholder value.” 

 

As an insider of the Company participated in the Program, this constitutes a “related party transaction” within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Shareholders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). Cielo has relied on the exemption from the formal valuation requirements of MI 61-101 contained in section 5.5(a) and (b) of MI 61-101 on the basis that the fair market value of the transaction was not more than Twenty-Five Percent (25%) of the market capitalization of Cielo and no securities of Cielo are listed on a specified market set out in such section and Cielo relied on the exemption from the minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in Section 5.7(1)(a) and 5.7(1)(b) of MI 61-101 on the basis of the fair market value of the transaction not being more than Twenty-Five Percent (25%) of the market capitalization of Cielo and $2,500,000.
