Tornado Global Hydrovacs Acquiring New Production Facility

CALGARY, Alberta, Dec. 17, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Tornado Global Hydrovacs Ltd. (โ€œTornadoโ€ or the โ€œCompanyโ€) (TGH: TSX-V) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement, subject to conditions, with an armโ€™s length third party vendor (the โ€œVendorโ€) to purchase an approximately 63,500 square foot facility built on approximately 17 acres of land located in Red Deer, Alberta (the โ€œNew Facilityโ€) for $6.5 million (the โ€œPurchase Priceโ€), which is scheduled to close on February 3, 2020. The acquisition of the New Facility was necessary as the Companyโ€™s lease for its current production facility located in Stettler, Alberta (the โ€œExisting Facilityโ€) will expire on June 30, 2021 and the Company expects its production demands will have out-grown the capacity of the Existing Facility.

The Company paid a deposit of $150,000 toward the Purchase Price and the Vendor has agreed to provide a non-interest bearing vendor take-back mortgage for the balance of the Purchase Price with a $500,000 principal reduction due on February 1, 2021 and the balance of the principal due on July 1, 2021.
