GUELPH, ON--(Marketwired - October 10, 2017) - ENPAR Technologies Inc. (TSX VENTURE: ENP) ("ENPAR" or "the Company" or "the Corporation") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a Binding Letter of Intent with the owners of Pumptronics Incorporated ("Pumptronics") to acquire 100% of the issued share capital for a transaction value equal to $3,000,000, which is comprised of $1,200,000 cash payment and 12,000,000 common shares of ENPAR Technologies Inc. ENPAR has agreed as a demonstration of its commitment to the transaction, to provide an advance payment of $100,000 to Pumptronics. No finder's fee will be issued in conjunction with the acquisition of Pumptronics.

Pumptronics Incorporated, a privately held Ontario-based corporation, is an integrated pump station manufacturer specializing in custom design and automation with projected growth for 2018 and 2019 and a robust sales pipeline.

Pumptronics was founded in 1989, with a team dedicated to understanding pumps and fluid mechanics, and a recognition that the consumer companies were relying on standard pump solutions that generally did not meet their needs. Pumptronics was founded to develop better approaches for moving liquids more easily, reliably and economically.

Pumptronics' goal is to create truly customized pumping solutions that not only meet the customer's needs, but also reduce operating and labor maintenance costs, and optimize performance in a cost effective manner. The company designs, engineers and manufactures the pumping solutions, and provides the onsite installation and support essential for optimal performance of the pumping stations.

Pumptronics services the municipal, commercial, oil & gas, mining and golf & turf markets, and provides other customized solutions. Pumptronics has provided innovative solutions to notable clients such as, Schedule I banks, national corporations, large institutions and cities throughout Canada.

"We are pleased to announce this proposed acquisition, which is fully aligned with our growth strategy of coupling a strong baseline revenue stream with significant growth potential, and blue-sky technology sales withan commensurate appreciation of shareholder value. By combining two highly complementary businesses, we will increase our depth and breadth of technical services and manufacturing capabilities," said Dr. Gene Shelp, President & CEO. "We will also capitalize on increased cross-selling to create new revenue growth and development opportunities in key geographies. The combined talents of the two companies will enhance our ability to succeed in existing markets and to identify and exploit new markets."

Business Rational

ENPAR's corporate success lies in the successful commercialization of its disruptive electrochemical water treatment technologies. Since 2015, the company has aggressively launched its technologies in favourable geographical regions of the globe via strategic partnerships. Pumptronics has 28 years of commercial industry experience, a robust sales pipeline and operational processes, which are of considerable value to the ENPAR team. Merging the two companies offers the following synergies:

• Sales: both companies have sales potential or existing clients in the oil & gas, municipal, commercial and mining markets; these markets provide opportunities for co-selling and co-development of new products/sales.
• Finance: blending the companies provides the opportunity to share financial staff resources and to add a senior financial resource (Chief Financial Officer), thereby increasing the financial oversight.
• Automation: both companies have automation and programming staff, whose intellectual capital can be expanded to enhance the development of cross-market solutions for clients.
• Manufacturing: adding manufacturing volume can create efficiencies in production and streamline processes for both companies, and enable ENPAR, in particular, to advance more quickly along the commercialization grid.
• Service: Pumptronics has a full service team, which is a critical selling feature in both companies; this team can install and service water treatment/pumping solutions for both companies, thereby supporting sales and creating operational efficiencies.
• Capital Markets and Expansion: Having senior personnel with extensive financial acumen, together with an established broker and institutional network in Canada and the USA, facilitates access to capital markets for expansion activities within North America and internationally.
• Excellent Investment Opportunity: growing recurring revenue stream, coupled with sales of blue-sky technology, represents an attractive investment opportunity.
