Marketwired Canada
Prime City One Capital Corp. (TSX VENTURE:PMO.H) (the "Corporation" or "Prime
City") is pleased to announce that it has entered into its Technology License
Agreement (the "License Agreement") with Ecotecnos Ltd. and its related company
Geosensing (collectively, "EcoTecnos"). The execution of the License Agreement
is part of the proposed change of business transaction for Prime City (the
"Transaction"). The now executed License Agreement will, upon closing of the
Transaction, provide Prime City with the use of EcoTecnos' satellite detection
and bioremediation technologies (the "Technologies") by way of exclusive
licenses (the "Licenses") in exchange for 19.99% of Prime City's issued and
outstanding common shares. The Licenses enable Prime City to have the indefinite
use of the Technologies for all of the Middle East and North Africa ("MENA")
region. For countries outside of the MENA region and excluding South America,
the Licenses permit Prime City the right of first refusal for the commercial use
of the Technologies on similar terms, subject to Prime City generating sales in
those countries within three years of the Transaction closing. The License
Agreement also provides for a continuing royalty payable to Ecotecnos in the
amount of five percent (5%) of the gross value of all contracts entered into by
the Corporation for the use of the Technologies.
As previously announced and subject to shareholder and NEX approval, the
Licenses will enable Prime City to effectively change its business through the
execution of a new business plan that will enable Prime City to utilize the
fully-commercialized and patented Technologies to offer services that solve
varying environmental problems. The satellite detection service that Prime City
will be able to offer will be used to generate 2D images of underground water,
oil spill areas, oil lakes or sludge pits, as well as properly estimate the
volume, dimensions and underground penetration of the hydrocarbon contamination
up to a depth of 150 meters. This satellite detection service will enable
national oil companies, federal agencies and oil remediation service providers,
among others, to have an accurate visual definition, assessment and measurement
of each individual oil lake, sludge pit or specific oil leak in order to allow
an in-depth analysis of clean-up project costs and to better understand the
scope of the environmental damage. EcoTecnos has completed over 1,000 projects
using satellite detection technology to geo-reference hydrocarbon pits, oil
spills, and to identify underground water resources.
EcoTecnos' bioremediation technology will enable Prime City to provide an
economical and safe method for the cleanup of oil spills and contaminated soils
by decomposing contaminants utilizing beneficial microbes, surfactants and
micronutrients. EcoTecnos are pioneers in bioremediation and have patented a
specific strain of bacteria that is capable of remediating oil-contaminated soil
in harsh environmental conditions. The EcoTecnos patented bioremediation product
is fully commercialized and has been used successfully in South America in
various remediation projects.
EcoTecnos has been providing services utilizing these Technologies exclusively
in South America over ten years to a range of South American clients, including
ENAP (the Chilean National Oil Company) and the Latin American operations of
Shell, ESSO and BHP Billiton.
As previously announced and in conjunction with the proposed change of business
for Prime City, the Corporation will (subject to receipt of necessary approvals)
change its name upon closing of the Transaction to BioSat Corporation.
In addition, Prime City is pleased to announce the closing of its previously
announced private placement financing for aggregate gross proceeds of $350,000
of units (each a "Unit") at a price of $0.05 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one
common share in the capital of Prime City (a "Common Share") and one-half of one
common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each whole Warrant will entitle the
holder to acquire one additional Common Share at a price of $0.10 for a period
of 1 year from closing. The proceeds from this offering will be used to fund
costs associated with the ongoing operation of the Corporation, including
general working capital and future restructuring costs. The Common Shares and
Warrants issued in connection with the private placement are subject to
statutory four-month hold periods in accordance with applicable securities laws.
