GreenBank Capital to Resume Trading on the CSE

This news release is not for distribution or dissemination in the United States of America

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / July 27, 2020 / GreenBank Capital Inc. (CSE:GBC)(OTCMKTS:GRNBF)(FRA:2TL) (“GreenBank or the Company”) reports that it has satisfied the Exchange requirements necessary to allow for the reinstatement of trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE). An updated Listing Statement for GreenBank is now available on TheCSE.com and has been filed on SEDAR.

GreenBank was the subject of a failure to file cease trade order (“FFCTO”) by the Ontario Securities Commission for failing to file the Company’s financial statements, accompanying management’s discussion and analysis, and the CEO and CFO certifications for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2018, in a timely manner. As a result, GreenBank Capital was suspended from trading by the CSE in December 2018. This was as a direct consequence of the unexpected passing of the Founder Chairman and CEO, Daniel Wettreich. The management team has since re-built the institutional knowledge lost with the passing of the founder and met all its disclosure requirements.

On January 31st, 2020 GreenBank obtained OSC approval for the revocation of the FFCTO on its stock, and subsequently filed an application to the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) to resume trading of its common shares. The CSE has now approved this application and the common shares of GreenBank Capital will resume trading on the CSE.

During the period that trading in GreenBank’s shares was suspended, and as previously announced, GreenBank elected to discontinue and wind up operations of five of its portfolio companies: North America Veterans Insurance Services Inc., Medik Blockchain Inc., Cannabis Blockchain Inc., Expatriate Assistance Services Inc., and Veterans Financial Group.

Furthermore, on March 11th, 2020 in an arms-length transaction, GreenBank made an investment to acquire a 19% stake in Staminier Limited (“Staminier”), a United Kingdom Venture Capital and Merchant Banking Business. GreenBank management views the Staminier investment as a key piece in its strategy moving forward. On April 8th, 2020 GreenBank held an annual and special meeting of its shareholders where a special resolution giving GreenBank management, at its discretion, the authority to exercise an existing call option to acquire the remaining 81% of Staminier was approved with a 99.99% vote. The ability to exercise the option is strictly conditional upon GreenBank fulfilling any and all regulatory and CSE requirements, including the filing of a prospectus if deemed necessary.

With the restructuring work that has been performed, we feel that GreenBank Capital is well-positioned to grow its business as its shares resume trading once again on the CSE.
