STT Enviro Corp. Announces Letter of Intent to Acquire Proprietary Pipe Assets


TORONTO, ON--(Marketwired - December 05, 2014) - STT Enviro Corp. ("STT" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: STT) today announced that it has entered into a binding letter of intent with Tome Holdings, LLC ("Tome") to acquire intangible assets related to a bonded, composite polyethylene pipe designed for use in oil & gas field collection applications (the "Rohr Pipe Assets"). The Rohr Pipe Assets are comprised of proprietary research, a process patent, product development and product samples, financial modeling, and related intellectual property. The product is targeted to a very large market currently serviced by steel pipe which is subject to the environmental issues associated with corrosion. The transaction is subject to approval by the TSX Venture exchange.

David Deacon, Chief Executive Officer, commented "This acquisition could provide the Company with a differentiating product in one of our traditional markets where we already have sales access and fits precisely with our corporate customer promise of 'Environmental improvement at reduced cost equals customer value'. We are enthusiastic about this product's potential and have negotiated a structure which we believe allows us to thoroughly evaluate whether we can provide it to market within the parameters we think will drive its rapid adoption." 

The payment terms are as follows:

  • Initial payment of $60,000 due by December 5, 2014, which secures exclusivity to the Rohr Pipe Assets;
  • Second instalment payable through the issuance of 800,000 common shares of STT (based on the current market value of approximately $0.20 per share, this instalment is valued at $160,000), due March 31, 2015 after STT has an opportunity to prove the technical feasibility of the product; and
  • Final instalment payable through the issuance of 1,400,000 common shares of STT (based on the current market value of approximately $0.20 per share, this instalment is valued at $280,000), due December 31, 2015 after STT has started commercial development.

Payment of the aggregate purchase price of C$60,000 plus 2,200,000 common shares of STT (based on the current market value of approximately $0.20 per share, the value of the common shares is $440,000) is structured to allow the Company to fully evaluate the technical feasibility and commercialization potential of the Rohr Pipe Assets prior to making full payment for them.

In the event that STT chooses not to pay the second or final instalment, it may transfer the Rohr Pipe Assets back to Tome and have no further obligation to Tome.

Mr. Deacon added, "The purchase has been structured in a way to minimize the Company's risk as we work through the evaluation of the product's potential during 2015. If the product can be produced at the forecast cost we see this transaction as having the potential to be an important step in diversifying and broadening the Company's revenue streams."
