Cielo Waste Solutions Corp. c/o Brand U Agency Inc

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada – TheNewswire - June 30, 2020 – (CSE:CMC) (CNSX:CMC.CN) (OTC:CWSFF) Cielo Waste Solutions Corp. ("CIELO" or the "Company") announces that it has raised $250,000 in gross proceeds in the sixth tranche (“Sixth Tranche”) of its private placement offering (“Offering”) of convertible debenture units (the “Unit(s)”), initially announced on March 30, 2020.  A total of $1,926,642 has now been raised in the Offering, exceeding the targeted minimum amount of CAD $500,000.

 

Each Unit consists of one (1) $1,000 unsecured convertible debenture (the “Debenture(s)”) plus 7,500 share purchase warrants (the “Warrant(s)”). The Debentures bear interest at a simple rate of 15% per annum with the initial three (3) years of interest to be prepaid (the “Prepaid Interest”) on the date of issuance of the Debentures (the “Issue Date”) by the issuance of common shares (the “Prepaid Interest Shares”) at a price of $0.07 per Prepaid Interest Share. The principal of the Debentures (the “Principal”) together with all accrued interest exceeding the Prepaid Interest (the “Interest Balance”) will be repaid 48 months from the Issue Date unless repaid earlier by CIELO without penalty or converted by the holder(s) thereof, any time after four months and a day following the Issue Date at a price of $0.05 for the Principal and at $0.07 for the Interest Balance.

 

Each Warrant has a term of 48 months from the Issue Date (the “Warrant Term”) and an exercise price of $0.07 per common share, subject to acceleration in the event that the common shares of CIELO, listed on a recognized stock exchange, trade at $0.15 or higher for at least five (5) consecutive trading days, in which event CIELO may provide a notice to holders that the Warrant Term will terminate 30 days from the date of notice.

 

Although the Offering is non-brokered, the Company may, as determined in its sole discretion, pay reasonable customary brokers' and/or finders' commissions in connection with the completion of the Offering of up to 8% in cash of the gross proceeds raised by such broker(s)/finder(s) and issue finder warrants (the “Finder Warrants”) of up to 8% of the total number of common shares that would be issued to subscribers introduced to the Company by such broker(s)/finder(s), if 100% of the Principal under the subject Debentures is converted. The Finder Warrants have a 48-month term from the date of issue and an exercise price of $0.07 per share.

 

There may be additional tranches of the Offering, anticipated to close on or prior to August 6, 2020. At the discretion of the Company, the Offering may be extended and/or increased, subject to approval from the Canadian Securities Exchange as applicable. Net proceeds of the Offering will be used to scale-up production of high-grade renewable fuel at the Company’s green waste to renewable fuel facility in Aldersyde, Alberta (the “Aldersyde Facility”), as well as for general working capital purposes.

 

A total 250 Units were issued pursuant to the Sixth Tranche for gross proceeds of $250,000, including 1,8750,000 Warrants and 1,607,143 Prepaid Interest Shares. Pursuant to the Sixth Tranche, the Company also issued 400,000 Finder Warrants and paid $20,000 in cash commissions. To date, 1,926.62 Units have been issued for gross proceeds of $1,926,642.  

All securities issued pursuant to the Offering are subject to a statutory four month hold period.

 

UPDATE ON JOINT VENTURE AGREEMENTS

Cielo and Renewable U Grande Prairie Inc., Renewable U Medicine Hat Inc., Renewable U Halifax Inc., Renewable U Lethbridge Inc. and Seymour Capital Incorporated, (collectively the “JV Companies”) have agreed to extend the deadline by which they will enter into the previously announced joint venture agreements to 90 days after Cielo has reached 500 liters per hour of continuous production. These agreements will govern the building and operation of the first five facilities to be placed on production in the agreed territories in Alberta, Nova Scotia and Ontario (“JV Facilities”). Prior to being shut down for COVID 19, the Aldersyde Facility was operating on a continuous-flow basis at low production volumes to identify how to resolve bottlenecks. Over the past few months, Cielo has been working with personnel from a third party engineering firm, who have re-designed a number of the pieces of equipment and streamlined processes that are currently being implemented for the purposes of enhancing the Company’s proprietary processes and increasing production volumes.

Don Allan, President and CEO of Cielo, stated “Cielo utilized the down time to further work on improvements to the process and management believes that these improvements will see volumes reach approximately 1,000 lph during the resumption of the commissioning phase.

Raphael Bohlmann, President of Renewable U Energy Inc., which represents four of the five JV Companies, stated “We are still moving each location forward while allowing Cielo the time it needs to complete the improvements at Aldersyde that will demonstrate how we can scale production to 4,000 liters per hour in each one of our facilities.  The Medicine Hat location is now working towards permits, while Grande Prairie and Nova Scotia are narrowing down the ideal locations. We are all very hard at work to move these facilities forward as quickly as possible.”
