AJAX, ONTARIO — (Marketwired) — 08/02/13 — Environmental Waste International Inc. (“EWS”) (TSX VENTURE: EWS) (the “Company”), a company specializing in eco-friendly systems with proven patented technology for the breakdown of organic materials, today is providing shareholders with a corporate update.
EWS announced that the Audit Committee for 2013 will include Samuel Geist, Emanuel Gerard (Chairman) and Thomas Russell. The members of the Compensation Committee will be Mr. Geist (Chairman), Mr.Gerard and Mr.Russell. Dr. Daniel Kaute, President and CEO of EWS, commented, “We are proud to have experienced people to act in the shareholders– interests.”
EWS also announced that it intends to complete a private placement financing raising approximately $350,000 through sale of units at a subscription price $0.10 each. Each unit consists of one common share and a half warrant. Each whole warrant permits entitles the holder to acquire one common share at an exercise price of $0.175 for a period of two years.
Michael Abrams resigned as CFO on May 31st. Former CEO Dr. Stephen Simms, whose employment was terminated on March 1, 2013, has commenced an action against EWS wherein he seeks four years of severance pay in the amount of $1,020,000. The Company and its legal counsel believe this claim for 48 months of pay is entirely vexatious and without merit. Furthermore, the Company and its legal counsel strongly contend that there is no basis for this grossly inflated claim. Daniel Kaute stated “We believe the lawsuit is without merit. We intend to vigorously defend the action and, while it will likely take several years before it is finally disposed of by the courts, we are confident we will ultimately prevail.”
