Park Lawn Announces Sale of Assets in Quebec, Completes Restructuring of Harmonia Division

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - June 30, 2014) - Park Lawn Corporation (TSX VENTURE:PLC) (the "Company" or "Park Lawn") today announced that it has sold certain cemetery and funeral assets in the province of Quebec to two limited partnerships led by Harmonia's founder, Yvon Rodrigue, and including a number of Harmonia's original shareholders, in addition to new Quebec-based investors.

The sale of these assets completes the restructuring of the Harmonia division that the Company has been working on for some time. Under the terms of the agreement, each of the limited partnerships (Services Funeraires Chaudière-Appalaches, S.E.C. or "SFCA" and Heritages S.E.C. or "HIN") has acquired assets, and assumed liabilities, from Park Lawn and will continue to operate the Harmonia business in the Quebec market using the Harmonia name, which SFCA and HIN respectively will license from Park Lawn for an initial term of 40 years.

Park Lawn has also agreed to settle the notes due that were assumed when the Company acquired Harmonia for their current market value of $517,000. The balance of the notes will be cancelled by Park Lawn, as will the rights to acquire Park Lawn common shares that were also created at the time of the Harmonia acquisition. The Company has also agreed to invest (by way of loan) an aggregate of $150,000 in SFCA and HIN for working capital purposes.

Andrew Clark, CEO of Park Lawn commented, "We are pleased that, after a considerable amount of effort and energy, we have been able to restructure the Harmonia business in a way that returns the operation to a local ownership group, which is consistent with our strategy of partnering with experienced operators in their local markets. This transaction should remove a considerable amount of risk from Park Lawn's operations, while also ensuring our interests remain aligned with our partners, led by Mr. Rodrigue."
