Divestco Inc. ("Divestco" or the "Company") announces that it intends to enter into a financing arrangement for $3.15 million with a 30-month term and an interest rate of 15% per annum (the "Loan") compounded monthly in arrears until maturity. The majority of the Loan will be held by directors and other insiders of Divestco. The proceeds of the Loan will be used to repay a $3.0 million term loan with BC-OSB Holdings Ltd. (the "Existing Loan").  The closing in respect of the Loan is expected to occur on April 23, 2018 or such later date as may be agreed to by the parties. 

The Loan will rank senior in priority to the majority of the Company's other indebtedness, which includes approximately $1.0 million aggregate amount of 8.00% secured subordinated debentures and $5.175 million of shareholder loans, details of which have been previously reported in the Company's annual and quarterly financial filings filed under Divestco's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on the Company's website.

The Loan constitutes a "related party transaction" pursuant to TSX Venture Exchange Policy 5.9 and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101") as Wade Brillon, Brent Gough, Stephen Popadynetz and Bruce Webster, directors/officers/insiders of Divestco, are participating in the provision of the Loan. The Loan is exempt from the related party transaction requirements of MI 61-101 pursuant to sections 5.5(b) and 5.7(f) thereof, as Divestco does not have any securities listed on certain specified stock exchanges under MI 61-101, the Loan is being obtained on reasonable commercial terms that are not less advantageous to Divestco than if the Loan were to have been obtained from an arm’s length party, the Loan will not be convertible, directly or indirectly, into equity or voting securities of Divestco or its subsidiaries and the Loan will not be repayable as to principal or interest, directly or indirectly, in equity or voting securities of Divestco or its subsidiaries.

The Loan was approved by the disinterested member of the board of directors of Divestco and has been conditionally approved by TSX Venture Exchange. Further details in respect of the Loan will be provided in Divestco's financial statements, its material change report in respect of the Loan and a copy of the full text of the agreement setting out the particular terms of the Loan will be filed under Divestco's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
