TORONTO, ONTARIO — (Marketwired) — 11/10/14 — Environmental Waste International Inc. (TSX VENTURE: EWS) (“EWS”) announced that the exclusivity period under the non-binding letter of intent (“LOI”) dated September 6, 2014, regarding the proposed acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding common shares of EWS by A.C. Simmonds and Sons Inc. (OTCQB: ACSX) (“ACS”) in exchange for ACS common stock, has been extended from November 5, 2014 to December 15, 2014.
A draft definitive agreement has been circulated amongst the parties and is currently being worked on by EWS, ACS and their respective counsel. EWS is continuing its due diligence investigation of ACS, which has been slower than expected given the numerous acquisitions that ACS expects to close over the next several months. Emanuel Gerard, Chair of the Special Committee of directors for EWS said “There are a lot of exciting things going on at ACS and we–ve made substantial progress on our deal with them. However, a number of ACS–s acquisitions have not closed as quickly as we both expected. We believe the proposed transaction presents a great opportunity for our shareholders and is worth the wait.”
Additionally, EWS wishes to announce that further to its September 18, 2014 press release the TSX Venture Exchange has provided approval for the Company–s previously announced private placement of 10 million common shares for gross proceeds of $1 million.
