ONEnergy Inc. Reaches Settlement With Certain Former Officers and Directors and Legal Advisor

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Oct. 14, 2015) - ONEnergy Inc. ("ONEnergy" or the "Corporation") (TSX VENTURE:OEG), a fast-growing, dynamic energy management firm serving commercial, industrial, multi-residential and residential customers in Canada and the U.S. via its ONEnergy™ and Sunwave™-branded energy and energy-efficiency businesses today announced that it has, subject to Court approval, reached a conditional settlement (the "Proposed Settlement") with certain former officers, directors and consultants of ONEnergy, formerly Look Communications Inc. ("Look"), as well as with a former legal advisor to Look in the total amount of $6,675,000.

On July 6, 2011, Look (now ONEnergy) issued a Statement of Claim (the "Claim") in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (the "Court") against certain former directors and senior officers of Look and their personal service companies (the "Defendants"). The Claim sought recovery of a total of approximately $20 million, which was paid in 2009 from the net proceeds of approximately $64 million realized by Look on the sale of its spectrum license, which closed September 11, 2009. Approximately $15.7 million was paid to the Defendants as equity cancellation payments and bonuses.

The Defendants who are parties to the Proposed Settlement with ONEnergy (the "Settling Defendants") include Michael Cytrynbaum and his family company First Fiscal Management Ltd., Jason Redman, Scott Colbran, Stuart Smith as well as Alex Dolgonos and his company DOL Technologies Inc. The Settling Defendants had collectively received $4,080,575 in equity cancellation payments and $5,907,000 in bonuses. Look's former legal advisor Stikeman Elliott LLP is also a party to the Proposed Settlement.

The Proposed Settlement remains subject to Court approval, and all amounts due under the terms of the Proposed Settlement will only be released to ONEnergy upon receipt of such Court approval of the terms and conditions of the Proposed Settlement.

The Proposed Settlement does not include Look's former CEO Gerald McGoey and his personal service company Jolian Investments Limited (collectively the "McGoey Defendants"). If the Proposed Settlement is approved, the claim against the McGoey Defendants will be limited to their proportionate and several liability for up to a maximum of $5,565,696 (being the amounts they received from Look) plus the McGoey Defendants' proportionate and several share of amounts paid by Look as advances to law firms for the payment of legal fees and expenses. ONEnergy will continue to vigorously pursue this claim against the McGoey Defendants.

Look also issued a Statement of Claim against McMillan LLP ("McMillan") on August 20, 2012 (the "McMillan Claim"). The McMillan Claim seeks recovery of the advances paid in June of 2010 in the amount of $1.55 million, which were paid to McMillan and other law firms before the former directors and officers resigned on July 21, 2010. If the Proposed Settlement is approved, this claim will be limited to McMillan's proportionate and several liabilities for these advances. ONEnergy will continue to vigorously pursue the McMillan Claim as well.

ONEnergy believes the Proposed Settlement represents a positive outcome for the Corporation and its shareholders.
