MONTRÉAL, Jan. 31, 2025 /CNW/ - Earth Alive Clean Technologies Inc. (TSXV: EAC) ("Earth Alive" or the "Company") announces the completion of the sale transaction and its ancillary steps (collectively, the "Transaction") contemplated by the Subscription Agreement, dated January 17, 2025 (the "Subscription Agreement"), between the Company and 9530-8086 Québec Inc.

The promoters of the Purchaser comprises a group of investors, including Mr. Erik Bomans (a director of the Company) and Mr. Nikolaos Sofronis (a director and the chief executive officer of the Company). The Subscription Agreement was entered into in connection with the Company's proceedings under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada) (the "BIA") and the related sales and investment solicitation process conducted under the supervision of Raymond Chabot Inc. and the Superior Court of Québec (Commercial Division) (the "Court"). The Subscription Agreement and the Transaction contemplated thereby were approved by the Court on January 24, 2025.

Following closing of the Transaction, the Purchaser now holds all of the issued and outstanding shares in the capital of the Company. The vast majority of the Company's indebtedness was assumed under the Transaction, and all of the Company's Employees will continue to be employed by the Company.
