Titanium Enters Into Lease for New Head Office

WOODBRIDGE, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Aug. 14, 2015) - Titanium Transportation Group Inc. ("Titanium" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:TTR) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a lease with Caledon First Investments Limited ("Caledon"). Pursuant to the Lease, Caledon is responsible for constructing a new facility at 12725 Coleraine Drive, Caledon, Ontario that will accommodate Titanium's head office operations and that will include an integrated yard, warehousing and mechanical shop (the "New Titanium Facility").

The Lease provides for the lease by Caledon to Titanium of the New Titanium Facility, comprising 68,900 square feet of gross floor area, for an initial term of 15 years. The commencement date of the fixturing portion of the Lease is August 1, 2016, and the Lease itself will commence on October 1, 2016 and continue in effect until September 30, 2031. The Lease provides for monthly rental payments commencing at approximately $160,000 in the first year of the lease and escalating through the term of the Lease to approximately $220,000 in the fifteenth year of the Lease.

Caledon is a "related party" of Titanium under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"), as it is an affiliate of a significant shareholder of the Company, and the Lease is therefore a "related party transaction" under MI 61-101. An exemption from the minority approval and valuation requirements of MI 61-101 is available under 5.5(d)(ii) and 5.7(c) thereof if the Lease is made on reasonable commercial terms that, considered as a whole, are not less advantageous to the issuer than if the lease was with a person dealing at arm's length. An independent committee of the Company's board of directors was formed to confirm the availability of these exemptions and approve the terms of the Lease pursuant to Titanium's Related Party Transaction Policy & Procedure. The independent committee retained independent legal counsel, a real estate valuation advisor and a project control advisor to assess the commercial reasonableness of the terms of the Lease, and based on their favorable advice, approved the Lease and confirmed that the above-noted exemptions under MI 61-101 can be relied upon by the Company.
