Integrated Environmental Technologies, Ltd. Secures Additional Capital

LITTLE RIVER, S.C., July 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Integrated Environmental Technologies, Ltd. (OTC QB: IEVM) ("IET" or the "Company"), a specialty chemical supplier providing EPA-approved, cost-effective, environmentally responsible cleaning and disinfecting solutions primarily to the oil and gas industry with additional opportunities in healthcare and food production, today announced that it secured, in a private placement, $603,500 of gross proceeds from the issuance of zero coupon secured convertible debentures (the "Debentures") in the principal amount of $670,577.  The Debentures have a one-year term, contain an original issue discount of 10% and can be converted into shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $0.01 per share.  The Debentures are accompanied by detachable, 5-year warrants to purchase an equal number of shares of common stock that the Debentures are convertible into at the same price as the Debenture conversion price.  The proceeds from the sale of these Debentures will provide working capital and funds for operations as the Company expands its current revenue base of oil and gas well maintenance programs.  Prior to the consummation of the private offering, IET had approximately 320,571,000 shares of common stock outstanding and fully diluted shares totaling 372,794,000 (inclusive of all options, warrants and convertible debt).

In addition, IET announced that it has reduced its operating expenses by over 25% as it adjusted its sales, marketing and administrative costs, decreased executive management's compensation by approximately 50%, and implemented a commission-based, compensation program for its sales team.  Monthly operating expenses in the second half of 2016 are expected to average approximately $155,000 per month, down from approximately $241,000 per month during the first quarter 2016 and an estimated $180,000 per month during the second quarter 2016.

"Our cost reduction effort is designed to enable IET to be more financially responsive in light of the oscillating economics recently encountered by the oil and gas drilling industry.  The current cost structure will facilitate our efforts to achieve a financially stronger company to persevere through inconsistent economic cycles.  Given the decrease in our operating expenses and our current revenue trajectory, we believe that the funds we have secured today should carry us into the month of December when we anticipate achieving cash flow breakeven," commented David LaVance, President and Chief Executive Officer of Integrated Environmental Technologies, Ltd.
