Formation Fluid Management Announces Letter of Intent for Proposed Business Combination


/EINPresswire.com/ -- CALGARY, ALBERTA -- (Marketwired) -- 05/26/16 -- Formation Fluid Management Inc. ("Formation Fluid") (TSX VENTURE: FFM) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent ("LOI") with respect to a proposed business combination with Robix Environmental Technologies, Inc. ("Robix") (CSE: RZX)(FRANKFURT: R0X).

The purpose of the LOI is to reflect the desire of both parties to effect a business combination pursuant to which Robix will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Formation Fluid through a share exchange, amalgamation, plan of arrangement or such other comparable form of transaction as determined by Robix and Formation Fluid following a review of all relevant tax, corporate and securities law considerations and a due diligence review (the "Transaction"). Pursuant to the Transaction and subject to adjustment prior to the execution of a definitive agreement setting out in more detail the proposed terms of the Transaction (a "Definitive Agreement"), each outstanding Robix common share will be exchanged for one common share of the combined entity existing after completion of the Transaction (the "Resulting Issuer") and every two outstanding Formation Fluid common shares will be exchanged for one common share of the Resulting Issuer. Upon completion of the Transaction, it is anticipated that the Resulting Issuer will be listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange.

"Combination of Formation Fluid's technology with Robix will increase the opportunities for deployment of our technology both geographically and in job scope," commented Ken Rose, President and CEO of Formation Fluid. "Our wastewater treatments technologies are cost-effective and innovative ways of delivering a new source of water, which meets or exceeds regulatory and operational requirements for reuse, surface discharge, or aquatic release. It is a perfect fit with the Robix P Series oil production platform, as energy customers are looking for a turn-key solution for their oil water separation needs and to meet regulatory specifications for engineered water."

The proposed Transaction is subject to a number of conditions including, but not limited to: (1) approval of the Transaction by the board of directors of Formation Fluid and Robix and any requisite shareholder approval, and (2) approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, Canadian Securities Exchange and all other regulatory bodies having jurisdiction in connection with the subject Transaction. As announced April 11, 2016 Formation Fluid has undertaken a strategic review process with Canaccord Genuity Corp., this process will continue.

The Corporation cautions that there is no guarantee that the strategic review or the LOI will result in a transaction or if a transaction is undertaken, as to its terms or timing.
