Anthony Clark - Share Purchase Agreement and Shareholder Approval of Sale Transaction, Potential Delisting and Winding Up

Calgary, Alberta CANADA, April 16, 2014 /FSC/ - Anthony Clark International Insurance Brokers Ltd. (ACL - TSX Venture),(the "Corporation") announces that further to previous press releases dated March 13, 2014 and April 8, 2014, the Corporation has entered into a share purchase agreement with Canada Brokerlink Inc. for the sale of all of the shares of Anthony Clark Insurance Brokers Ltd. held by the Corporation for cash consideration of approximately CAN$13,000,000 ("Sale Transaction"), subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. The shareholders of the Corporation have approved: (i) the Sale Transaction, which represents the sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets; (ii) the delisting of the Corporation from the TSX Venture Exchange ("Exchange") or, in the alternative, the transfer of the listing of the Corporation's shares to the NEX Board of the Exchange ("De-Listing") and (iii) the potential liquidation and dissolution of the Corporation (the "Winding Up").  

Further, the resolutions authorizing the Sale Transaction and Winding Up were each approved by a special resolution of more than two-thirds of the votes cast by shareholders present or represented by proxy at the special meeting of shareholders (the "Meeting") held on April 14, 2014. The Sale Transaction and Winding Up were also approved by a majority of votes cast by shareholders present or represented by proxy at the Meeting, excluding the votes cast by certain interested parties. The resolutions authorizing the De-Listing were approved by an ordinary resolution of a majority of votes cast by shareholders present or represented by proxy at the Meeting, excluding the votes of the Corporation's officers, directors and insiders, pursuant to the Exchange policies.

The closing of the Sale Transaction is expected to occur on May 1, 2014. The closing of the Sale Transaction, the De-Listing and the Winding Up remain subject to the conditions and risk factors described in Corporation's Management Information Circular dated March 17, 2014. The Sale Transaction also remains subject to final regulatory approval. It is anticipated that the initial distribution of the available proceeds from the Sale Transaction will be made to shareholders thirty (30) to sixty (60) days following the closing of the Sale Transaction whether or not the De-Listing or the Winding-Up are implemented. Further information regarding the De-Listing, Winding Up and the amount and timing of distributions to shareholders will be provided in subsequent press releases as such information becomes available.

The TSX Venture Exchange has not reviewed and does not accept responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
