MONTREAL, Dec. 23, 2019 — PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (http://pyrogenesis.com) (TSX-V: PYR) (OTCQB: PYRNF) (FRA: 8PY), a high-tech company, (the “Company”, the “Corporation†or “PyroGenesis”) that designs, develops, manufactures and commercializes plasma atomized metal powder, plasma waste-to-energy systems and plasma torch products, announced today that it completed a financing in which the Company received funding pursuant to a Term Loan Agreement with R & D Capital Inc. (“R & Dâ€) for a total of CAN $247,500 with respect to its Scientific Research and Experimental Development Tax credits (“SR&ED Tax Creditsâ€) for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2019, (the “Loanâ€).
The Loan is guaranteed by an existing security interest in favor of R & D. The security interest is on the universality of the Company’s assets excluding its Intellectual Property but including the refundable portion of its SR&ED Tax Credits for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2019.
“This financing, which we did today, is similar to previous SR&ED type of financings that the Company has entered into which is entirely non-dilutive to shareholders,†said Mr. P. Peter Pascali, President and CEO of PyroGenesis.
In connection with the Loan, the Company paid R&D, fees of $22,275 CAD.
Separately, with respect to the recent decline in the stock price, Mr. P. Peter Pascali commented as follows:
“We have no knowledge of any material news which could explain the recent decline in the Company’s stock price, and we have reported these observations to the appropriate authorities,†said Mr. Pascali. “In fact, this recent decline is even stranger given the recent news the subject of which is even more imminent than it was when we first disclosed it, which stands to reason. On a separate note, we expect to build a solid DROSRITE™ business on top of the recent news as we are actively working on a number of DROSRITE™ deals in Europe.â€
