VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLOMBIA--(Marketwired - March 17, 2017) - Black Springs Capital Inc.

Completion of the Qualifying Transaction remains subject to a number of conditions, including final approval of the Exchange.

Completion of the Qualifying Transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including but not limited to, Exchange acceptance and if applicable pursuant to Exchange Requirements, majority of the minority shareholder approval. Where applicable, the Qualifying Transaction cannot close until the required shareholder approval is obtained.
