CIELO ANNOUNCES CLOSING OF FIRST TRANCHE OF PRIVATE PLACEMENT OF CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE UNITS

Cielo Waste Solutions Corp. has closed the first tranche of its previously announced non-brokered private placement offering of unsecured convertible debenture units of the company at a price of $1,000 per convertible debenture unit for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $5-million. The company anticipates that it will close subsequent tranches of the private placement in the coming weeks.

"The closing of this first tranche of our private placement represents a great start to reaching the targeted proceeds," said Ryan Jackson, Cielo's chief executive officer. "I believe, in a very short period of time, the excitement around proceeding with the Carseland and Dunmore projects will allow us to achieve a full subscription of the offering."

Each convertible debenture unit is composed of: (i) one unsecured convertible debenture in the principal amount of $1,000 convertible into common shares of the company; and (ii) 2,500 detachable share purchase warrants exercisable into common shares. The minimum subscription amount is $20,000. Pursuant to the closing of Tranche 1, the company issued 560 convertible debenture units for gross proceeds of $560,000, consisting of 560 convertible debentures and 1.4 million warrants.

The principal amount of the debentures, together with any accrued and unpaid interest, will mature and become due and payable in cash on the date that is 24 months from the date of issue of the convertible debenture units, subject to earlier conversion or redemption. The principal amount owing under the debentures will accrue interest from the date of issuance at 12 per cent per annum on a 30/360 calendar basis, payable every six months in cash, except the first payment will be made in November, 2024, and will consist of interest accrued from and including the issue date. As the convertible debentures will be unsecured debt obligations of the company, each convertible debenture will rank subordinate to all secured debt obligations of the company.

The principal amount may be converted, for no additional consideration, into conversion shares at the option of the holder of a convertible debenture at any time after the issue date at a conversion price of 40 cents per conversion share. However, the company may force the conversion of the convertible debentures, at the conversion price, in the event that the volume-weighted average price of the common shares on the exchange is greater than $1.00 for any 10 consecutive trading days. In the event of a forced conversion, the company will provide notice to holders by issuing a news release announcing the details of the forced conversion, including the date upon which the forced conversion will occur. In addition, the principal amount of the convertible debentures may be redeemed by the company at any time without penalty.

Each warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one warrant share at a price of 70 cents per warrant share for a period of 24 months from the issue date. However, the company may accelerate the expiry of the warrants in the event that the volume-weighted average price of the common shares on the exchange is greater than $1.00 for any 10 consecutive trading days. In the event of a warrant term acceleration, the company will provide notice to holders of the warrants by issuing a news release announcing the details of the warrant term acceleration, including the accelerated expiry date of the warrants.

The company anticipates using the net proceeds of the private placement for the continued advancement of its renewable fuel projects, namely the wood byproduct to Bio-SynDiesel project in Carseland, Alta., which is currently undergoing front-end engineering and design, and the company's railway tie to Bio-Syndiesel project in Dunmore, Alta., as well as general working capital and corporate growth purposes. The Carseland project will be situated adjacent to an existing synthetic fuel facility owned and operated by Rocky Mountain Clean Fuels Inc. (RMCFI), which deploys patented technology developed by Expander Energy Inc.

The private placement is subject to the receipt of all required regulatory approvals, as applicable, including the final approval of the exchange. The exchange has conditionally approved the private placement. Finder's fees of cash and/or non-transferrable warrants may be paid in connection with the private placement, in accordance with applicable laws. The debentures and warrants, as well as conversion shares and warrant shares, will be subject to a statutory hold period expiring on the date that is four months and one day after the corresponding issue date. With respect to Tranche 1, no finder fees were paid and the statutory hold period will expire on July 9, 2024.
