Input Capital Corp. provides update on streaming contracts

REGINA, Nov. 12, 2015 /CNW/ - Input Capital Corp. ("Input") (TSX Venture: INP) (US: INPCF) announces a status update related to its portfolio of canola streaming contracts.

Input is taking steps to terminate three streaming contracts in Saskatchewan and enforce the security granted in conjunction with these contracts.

As this time, Input believes it will fully recover its investment in these three contracts through the enforcement of security. Once recovered, the funds will be available for redeployment in order to replace the cancelled tonnes. The capital value of the three contracts in question is approximately $18.4 million, compared with Input's security position of approximately $24.5 million.

As a result of the above, Input will reduce the number of active streams in its portfolio from 79 to 76 streams and is reducing guidance on the number of projected canola streaming tonnes to be sold in FY2016 from 80,000 tonnes to 65,000 tonnes.

President and CEO Doug Emsley stated: "This is a bump in the road for Input, but a small one. Most of the impact of this announcement is on tonnes originally expected to be received this fiscal year, with little impact on future years. While it is never positive to have to cancel a contract, I feel it is the best way, under these circumstances, to protect our shareholders' capital. The remaining 76 active streams in our portfolio are in good standing, and our prime deployment season is ramping up."

NEITHER TSX VENTURE EXCHANGE NOR ITS REGULATION SERVICES PROVIDER (AS THAT TERM IS DEFINED IN POLICIES OF THE TSX VENTURE EXCHANGE) ACCEPTS RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ADEQUACY OR ACCURACY OF THIS RELEASE.
