Clearford Water Systems Inc. (NEX:CLI.H) (“Clearford” or the “Corporation”) announces that on October 7, 2022 (the “Proposed Effective Date”) it intends to complete certain transactions contemplated by a Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada) (the "BIA") proposal (the "Proposal") filed by the Corporation‎, through its proposal trustee KSV Restructuring Inc. (the “Proposal Trustee”), on May 12, 2022‎. The Proposal provides for, among other things, the compromise and settlement of claims of secured creditors (the “Sponsors”) and unsecured ‎creditors of the Corporation (collectively, the “Creditors”). The Proposal further contemplates a ‎reorganization (the “Reorganization”) of the Corporation’s outstanding share capital under the ‎Canada Business Corporations Act (the “CBCA”), as further described below. ‎ The Proposal was approved by the Creditors at a meeting held on June 2, 2022 and on July 13, 2022, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Bankruptcy and Insolvency ‎granted an ‎‎order (Estate/Court File no. 33-2825753) approving: (i) the Proposal; ‎‎(ii) the ‎Reorganization; and (iii) the First Report of the Proposal Trustee dated ‎June ‎‎29, 2022 and the ‎actions of the Proposal Trustee described therein‎.‎

‎In accordance with the Reorganization, the Corporation intends file articles of reorganization under the CBCA on the Proposed Effective Date, pursuant to ‎which the Corporation’s authorized capital will be amended to create an unlimited number ‎of shares ‎of a class designated as “New Common Shares” (the “New Common Shares”), an ‎‎unlimited ‎number of shares of a class designated as “Non-Voting Common ‎Shares” (the “Non-‎Voting ‎Common Shares”, and together with the New Common Shares, the “New Shares”) and an ‎‎unlimited number of shares of a ‎class designated as “Redeemable Shares” (the “Redeemable ‎‎Shares”), and all common shares outstanding immediately prior to the implementation of the ‎Reorganization (the “Old Common Shares”) will be re-designated as Redeemable Shares on the ‎basis of ‎0.000001 (one-millionth) of a ‎Redeemable Share for each Old Common Share‎. All Redeemable Shares, into which the Old Common Shares and ‎‎fractional ‎interests therein outstanding will be changed pursuant to the Proposal and the Articles of ‎Reorganization, will be automatically redeemed by the Corporation on ‎‎payment of $0.01 for each ‎whole Redeemable Share (the “Redemption Price”), provided that if the aggregate Redemption ‎Price payable to any particular holder is less than $10.00, the actual Redemption Price payable ‎to each such holder of Redeemable Shares will be deemed to be $0.00 and the Redeemable ‎Shares or fractional interests therein will be redeemed without any payment or further act or ‎formality by the Corporation or otherwise. It is anticipated that no holders will be entitled to the ‎payment of any Redemption Price‎.

‎Pursuant to the Proposal and the Reorganization, the Corporation intends to issue New Shares to the Sponsors, or their designated assignees, in ‎consideration of the compromise of certain obligations owing by the Corporation to the ‎Sponsors. As a result of the Reorganization, ‎the Corporation will only have ‎three registered and beneficial ‎securityholders, namely the Sponsors or their designated assignees.

Effective at the open of markets on May 3, 2022, the Corporation’s listing transferred from the TSX Venture Exchange to NEX. Upon implementation of the Reorganization, the Old Common Shares are expected to be delisted from the NEX on the Proposed Effective Date. The Corporation has made an application to the Ontario Securities Commission (the “OSC”) seeking orders (collectively, the “Orders”) for ‎the revocation of the failure-to-file cease trade order issued by ‎the OSC on May 6, ‎‎2022, ‎as a result of the Corporation’s failure to file certain continuous disclosure documents, and to ‎cease to be a reporting issuer in the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario. It is anticipated that the Orders will be issued on the Proposed Effective Date, following the implementation of the Reorganization and the delisting of the Old Common Shares from the NEX. ‎
