Spark Power Announces the Restart of its Strategic Review Process

OAKVILLE, ONTARIO / ACCESSWIRE / August 4, 2020 / Spark Power Group Inc. (TSX:SPG), parent company of Spark Power Corp. (“Spark Power” or the “Company”), is pleased to announce that the Special Committee (“Special Committee”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) will resume the strategic review process effective August 4, 2020.

The Company initially announced the formation of the Special Committee and launched the strategic review process on February 4, 2020 to identify, evaluate, and consider alternatives available to the Company to acquire the capital required to execute the Company’s strategic plan. It was later paused on May 4, 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic crisis. Today, the Company formally announces the Special Committee has decided to restart this process. The Special Committee is comprised of Larry Taylor (Chair), Mr. Lucio Di Clemente, and Mr. Joe Quarin, all of whom are independent directors of the Board. There is currently no timeline for completion of the review and there is no assurance that these efforts will be successful or that the review process will result in pursuing or completing any transaction.

“Over the past month, Spark Power has continued to see both positive traction in the business and interest among investors,” said Larry Taylor, Chair of the Board and Chair of the Special Committee. “The Special Committee has decided that now is the right time to restart the strategic review process,” Taylor continued.

“I am proud of how well our team and Company have weathered this pandemic,” said Jason Sparaga, co-CEO, Spark Power Corp. “We believe that there are outstanding opportunities for further growth, both via acquisition and organically, and we are keen to find a partner that shares our vision,” added Sparaga.
