/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/

LANGLEY, B.C., June 8, 2016 /CNW/ - Hardwoods Distribution Inc. ("Hardwoods" or the "Company") (TSX: HWD) announced today that it issued an aggregate of 517,350 subscription receipts (each a "Subscription Receipt") at a price of $14.50 per Subscription Receipt for aggregate gross proceeds to Hardwoods of C$7,501,575 following the full exercise of the over-allotment option (the "Over-Allotment Option") by a syndicate of underwriters led by Cormark Securities Inc. (the "Lead Underwriter") and including Canaccord Genuity Corp., CIBC World Markets Inc., Mackie Research Capital Corp. and Acumen Capital Finance Partners Limited (collectively, the "Underwriters"). Hardwoods granted the Over-Allotment Option to the Underwriters as part of the Company's offering of 3,449,000 Subscription Receipts, which closed on June 30, 2016 (the "Offering"). The exercise of the Over-Allotment Option has increased the total gross proceeds from the Offering to C$57,512,075. Hardwoods intends to use the net proceeds received from the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option for general corporate purposes.

The gross proceeds from the sale of the Subscription Receipts less 50% of the Underwriters' commission (the "Escrowed Proceeds") will be held by the escrow agent pending, among other things, the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions precedent to completing the Company's previously announced acquisition (the "Acquisition") of substantially all of the assets used in the business of Rugby Acquisition, LLC and its subsidiaries, collectively doing business as "Rugby Architectural Building Products" (collectively, "Rugby"), other than the payment of the purchase price and such other conditions that by their nature may only be satisfied at the closing time for the Acquisition (the "Release Condition"), and the delivery of a joint written notice from the Company and the Lead Underwriter to the subscription receipt agent confirming that the Release Condition has been satisfied or waived (collectively, the "Release Event").

Each Subscription Receipt entitles the holder thereof to receive, for no additional consideration and without further action, one common share of the Company (a "Common Share") upon the occurrence of the Release Event. If (i) the Release Event does not occur on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on September 28, 2016 (the "Release Deadline"), or (ii) the Company advises the Underwriters and the subscription receipt agent, or announces to the public by way of a news release, that it does not intend to proceed with the Acquisition (each such event being a "Termination Event"), holders of the Subscription Receipts will be entitled to receive the full purchase price of their Subscription Receipts, together with their pro rata share of interest earned thereon (including interest on the initial portion of the underwriting commission), less applicable withholding taxes. In addition, if the closing of the Acquisition occurs prior to the Release Deadline and the record date for one or more cash dividends on the Common Shares occurs during the period from the closing date of the Offering to and including the closing date of the Acquisition, each holder of a Subscription Receipt will be entitled to receive an amount per Subscription Receipt equal to the amount of such per Common Share dividend(s), less applicable withholding taxes. This amount will be payable on the later of three business days following the date of the Release Event or the date such dividend(s) is paid to shareholders.

The Subscription Receipts have been listed for trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol "HWD.R".
