Park Lawn Corporation Announces Public Offering of Common Shares

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Nov. 4, 2013) - Park Lawn Corporation ("Park Lawn" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:PLC) announced today that it has filed a preliminary short-form prospectus in each of the provinces of Canada, except Québec, for an offering of common shares in a minimum amount of $6,000,000 and a maximum amount of $9,000,000 (the "Offering").

The Offering will be made on a best-efforts basis pursuant to an agency agreement to be entered into between Park Lawn and a syndicate of agents led by Mackie Research Capital Corporation and including Macquarie Private Wealth Inc. (the "Agents"). The Agents will also have the option to increase the size of the Offering by an additional 15% at any time up to 30 days following the closing date. Closing is expected to occur in November, 2013. The Offering price will be determined prior to filing the final short form prospectus.

The net proceeds from the Offering will be used by Park Lawn to construct a new mausoleum at its Westminster Cemetery, Crematorium & Mausoleum, and assuming the maximum Offering amount, the balance shall be used for strategic acquisitions.

The Offering is in furtherance of management's strategy for the business, which includes geographic expansion outside of the Greater Toronto Area, increased partnerships with independent operators in the industry, optimization of product offerings and the continued build-out of inventory at existing properties. This strategy has been implemented since de-trusting in December of 2010, with the Harmonia acquisition, the lease arrangement with the Brampton Crematorium and Visitor Centre, and the build-out of additional inventory at Park Lawn and Sanctuary Park cemeteries.

Park Lawn also announces the resignation of Jeffrey Burchell as a Director. Andrew Clark, C.E.O. of Park Lawn stated: "In his short time on the Board of Park Lawn, Jeff's insights and perspective proved extremely valuable. We wish to thank him for his service." Mr. Burchell elected to resign in order to allow his employer, Aston Hill Financial Inc., to participate in the Offering.

In conjunction with the filing of the short-form preliminary prospectus, Park Lawn has also filed a revised annual information form to update its regulatory filings.
