CALGARY, Alberta, April 13, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NXT Energy Solutions Inc. ("NXT" or the "Company") (TSX:SFD; OTC QB:NSFDF) has directed Alberta Green Ventures Limited Partnership ("AGV") to deliver US$250,000 in cash or other immediately available funds to NXT and has revoked its previous direction to deliver common shares in the capital of the Company for cancelation (the “Share Settlement”) as repayment of amounts owing by AGV under the previously announced loan arrangement (the "Loan Arrangement").  NXT and AGV were unable to reach agreement on a new price of the shares under the Share Settlement within a framework required for regulatory approvals which has given rise to the demand for repayment in cash.
