CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Sept. 21, 2015) - Formation Fluid Technology Inc. (formerly Formation Fluid Management Inc.) (TSX VENTURE:FFM) ("FFT" or the "Corporation") is pleased to announce that it intends to undertake a non-brokered private placement of up to $3,000,000 convertible unsecured subordinated debentures (the "Debentures") of the Corporation (the "Debenture Offering"). The Debentures will mature twenty four (24) months from the date of issue (the "Maturity Date") and will bear interest at a rate of 8.00% per annum payable semi-annually in arrears on December 31 and June 30 in each calendar year commencing on December 31, 2015. The Corporation will have the right to repay the entire outstanding principal and interest to date of the Debentures in advance of the Maturity Date by giving the Debentureholder thirty (30) days' notice of the Corporation's intention to repay. The Debentureholder will have the right to accept the repayment or convert the outstanding principal and interest of the Debentures into common shares of the Corporation (the "Common Shares") at $0.20 per Common Share (the "Conversion Price") prior to the expiration of the thirty (30) days' notice. If, at any time following the closing date, the simple average closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"), if the Common Shares are listed, exceeds $0.26 at the Conversion Price for a minimum of twenty (20) consecutive trading days (whether or not trading of Common Shares occurs on such days, provided that the Common Shares trade on at least five of such trading days), the Corporation may, in its sole discretion, for a period of thirty (30) days thereafter, be entitled to issue a notice in writing whereupon the Debentures will be forced to convert at the date that is thirty (30) days following delivery of such notice.

The Corporation may engage finders or agents to act as agents of the Corporation in connection with the Debenture Offering, and in connection therewith may pay finders and agents a cash commission of up to 5% of the proceeds of the Debenture Offering that result from such parties efforts, subject to compliance with applicable securities laws. 

The Corporation intends to use the proceeds from the Debenture Offering to build an additional Hydro-sep unit which will expand our capacity to process frac flow back water and produced water and for general working capital.

Closing of the proposed Debenture Offering is anticipated to occur in or about October, 2015 and will be conditional upon among other things, the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals (including from the TSXV). All securities issued pursuant to the Debenture Offering will be subject to a statutory hold period.

Operational Update

FFT has recently commissioned additional equipment, completed a pilot for multiple oil and gas companies, initiated regulatory advancement for water cleaning with Alberta Energy Regulator ("AER") and cleaned 1000m3 on a remediation project.

The additional equipment which has been commissioned and field tested includes a Hydro-clear and a combination unit (Hydro-pure and Hydro-clear). FFT now has 2.5 times the capacity it had for the year ended June 30, 2014.

In August, a Duvernay pilot project resulted in cleaned frac flow back water being successfully reused for frac. A second pilot to clean expanded volumes is being initiated with expanded test parameters, when successful this will prove cleaning capabilities for significant volumes in the Duvernay area.

Throughout the pilot and commercial operations AER has been actively helping FFT to navigate the regulatory framework and to assist oil and gas companies getting approvals to clean water.
