VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - July 2, 2014) - ComWest Enterprise Corp. (TSX VENTURE:CWP)(TSX VENTURE:CWP.A) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has completed the previously announced acquisition of a 100% equity interest in Unisync Group Limited ("Unisync"), Canada's leading designer, manufacturer and distributor of direct sale uniforms, workwear, image apparel and related solutions.

All shares issued under the private placement are subject to a restricted period that will expire four months after the issuance date. Insiders purchased 484,400 of the Class A restricted equity shares under the first tranches of the private placement.

The private placement is subject to final acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange.

About ComWest

ComWest's business is now comprised of its 90% partnership interest in Peerless Garments LP based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and its wholly owned subsidiary, Unisync Group Limited. Unisync's head office is located in Mississauga, Ontario, with a 100,000 square foot world-class distribution centre located in Guelph, Ontario and a satellite distribution facility and sales office in Calgary. Further particulars on both Peerless and Unisync were set out in the June 25, 2014 news release announcing the acquisition ( http://www.sedar.com ). Revenues for Unisync during its last fiscal year ended September 30, 2013 were $21.3 million.

ComWest has paid a regular quarterly dividend since its acquisition of Peerless in August 2010. The second quarterly dividend for 2014, which would normally have been paid in June, was suspended to accommodate the acquisition of Unisync and minimize dilution to existing shareholders. The Board expects to re-instate a regular quarterly dividend after the following quarter, subject to available cash resources.
