Vancouver, British Columbia — (Newsfile Corp. – January 20, 2022) — ReGen III Corp. (TSXV: GIII) (OTCQB: ISRJF) (FSE: PN4) (“ReGen III” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide the following update.
In May 2021, ReGen III signed a definitive offtake agreement with bp to purchase 100 percent (100%) of the Company’s base oils produced at its proposed 5,600 bpd Texas recycling facility. The Company continues to work closely with bp to advance the project.
Finance
Export Development Canada (“EDC”) provided ReGen III with indicative terms for a senior secured debt facility of US$108 million. ReGen III continues to advance project and engineering data to EDC as part of its ongoing due diligence process. Final terms are expected to be crystallized during Q2, 2022.
Further to the Company’s press release of December 2, 2021 regarding the signing of a non-binding letter of intent with a multi-billion-dollar US based private equity (“PE”) firm, the collaborative due diligence process is advancing rapidly. To date, ReGen III is not aware of any insurmountable gating items raised by the PE firm.
Project and Engineering
Earlier last year, ReGen III engaged Koch Project Solutions, LLC (“KPS”) to provide project execution management services leading up to the turnkey delivery of its new facility in Texas whereby, KPS will lead ReGen III’s world class engineering, construction and licensed vendor teams: PCL Industrial Management Ltd., Studi Tecnologie Progetti S.p.A. (“STP”), Koch Modular Process Systems (“KMPS”), Duke Technologies (“Duke”) and Sacre-Davey Engineering Inc. through the completion of detailed design, construction, commissioning, and start-up.
ReGen III is currently deploying US$7.4 million to complete the project’s front-end engineering and design (“FEED”) under the guidance of KPS. Since our update on September 29, 2021, the Texas project has advanced considerably and there are now an estimated 100+ engineering personnel working on the FEED study and project deliverables. In brief:
Due to any unforeseen material changes and with these engineering advances in hand, the Company believes it is positioned to receive an interim project cost estimate in late Q1/early Q2 and the final FEED package in Q2 2022.
Director
Further to the Company’s announcement of January 12, 2022 and the appointment of Catherine Banat to the board of directors, the board also accepted the resignation of director, Paul DiPasquale, in order to make room for Catherine Banat. Paul has been a strong and vocal corporate advocate for the past ten years and his participation and continued input is invaluable to the Company. We are grateful to Paul for his service to date and we look forward to retaining his input and institutional memory as he transitions to the role of a consultant to ReGen III.
