TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Oct. 2, 2015) -

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

Gibraltar Growth Corporation (the "Corporation") is pleased to announce the closing of its initial public offering (the "Offering") of $100,000,000 of Class A Restricted Voting Units. The Corporation has granted the underwriters of the Offering a 30-day option following closing of the Offering to purchase up to an additional 1,500,000 Class A Restricted Voting Units, at a price of $10.00 each (the "Over-Allotment Option") for additional gross proceeds of up to $15,000,000. The proceeds from the distribution of the Class A Restricted Voting Units were (and the proceeds from any exercise of the Over-Allotment Option will be) deposited into an escrow account and will only be released upon certain prescribed conditions as further described in the final prospectus of the Corporation dated September 25, 2015.

Gibraltar Opportunity, Inc. ("Gibraltar Opportunity") is the sponsor of the Corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gibraltar & Company, Inc. ("Gibraltar"), a Toronto-based private investment management company.

Each Class A Restricted Voting Unit consists of one Class A Restricted Voting Share and one Warrant. Upon closing of the qualifying acquisition, each Class A Restricted Voting Share will be automatically converted into one Class B Share and each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Class B Share of the Corporation at an exercise price of $11.50 for a period commencing 30 days thereafter to five years after the completion of the qualifying acquisition, subject to the terms and conditions described in the final prospectus. Upon certain events, the Class A Restricted Voting Shares forming part of the Class A Restricted Voting Units will be redeemable by holders for a pro-rata portion of the escrow account, net of taxes payable and other prescribed amounts as further described in the final prospectus.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Offering, the Corporation's senior management, founders, directors and advisory board members invested $4 million in the Corporation, either directly or indirectly through Gibraltar, through an aggregate purchase of 400,000 Class B Units at an offering price of $10.00 per Class B Unit. Each Class B Unit consists of one Class B Share and one Warrant. As of the closing of the Offering, Gibraltar Opportunity holds 2,307,539 Class B Shares (including the Class B Shares forming part of the Class B Units) representing an approximate 68.2% interest in the Class B Shares and an approximate 17.2% of the total Class A Restricted Voting Shares and Class B Shares, assuming no forfeiture by Gibraltar Opportunity of any of its Class B Shares. Gibraltar Opportunity's position in the Corporation was acquired for investment purposes.

The Class A Restricted Voting Units will separate into Class A Restricted Voting Shares and Warrants approximately 40 days following the closing of the Offering and will trade under the symbols "GBG.A" and "GBG.WT", respectively.
