CLEANTEK INDUSTRIES INC. ANNOUNCES NEW LONG-TERM DEBT FINANCING

Cleantek Industries Inc. has entered into a new long-term debt financing facilities arrangement, replacing the company's existing short-term credit facility. The new long-term facilities comprise a $7.2-million term loan with Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC) and an operating line of up to $2.5-million with HSBC Canada. The term loan is repayable over a period of 72 months and includes an initial six-month interest-only period. The term loan comprises a fixed interest rate of 8.2 per cent for the duration of the facility.

The new facilities replace the company's existing short-term credit facility arrangement and, whilst they do not provide the company with a significant amount of immediate new liquidity, they do provide the company with a long-term partnership, greatly reduced monthly principal and interest payments, and added financial flexibility over the life of the facilities.

"The completion of this long-term financing marks a significant achievement for the company," said Matt Gowanlock, chief executive officer of Cleantek Industries. "The fixed term and improved financial flexibility will allow the company to fund additional growth initiatives and improve our working capital position through 2024. This is a significant milestone for our team and a real catalyst for future growth. We would like to thank our new lenders -- the Business Development Bank of Canada and HSBC Canada -- for their support, and we look forward to a lasting partnership."
