OKOTOKS, AB, Dec. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - (TSX: MTL) Mullen Group Ltd. ("Mullen Group", "We", "Our" and/or the "Corporation") announced today the closing of an additional purchase and sale agreement (the "Transaction") with a third party whereby Mullen Group agreed to the sale of real property that includes an operating terminal and associated lands consisting of 4.5 acres (the "Terminal") in Surrey, British Columbia. Tenold Transportation Ltd. ("Tenold") currently operates out of the Terminal, however, will be moving to a more fit for purpose facility in Abbotsford, British Columbia.

At the beginning of 2022, we established a number of priorities for Mullen Group, which included managing the balance sheet. As part of this process, we identified a number of non-core assets including the Tenold Terminal. With the closing of this Transaction, along with our previously announced sale of the Hydrovac Assets, we have divested approximately $50.0 million of non-core assets this year. We will be close to our target of virtually no bank debt by year end 2022.
