VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Dec 20, 2013) - Offsetters Climate Solutions Inc. (TSX VENTURE:COO)(FRANKFURT:9EA) ("Offsetters" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has restructured certain payment terms related to the acquisition, announced December 14, 2012, whereby Offsetters (formerly ERA Carbon Offsets Ltd.) acquired Offsetters Clean Technology Inc. and Carbon Credit Corporation from a third party Seller (the "Seller").

Under the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement dated November 7, 2012, Offsetters was scheduled to remit a CDN $1.5 million cash payment to the Seller by December 30, 2013. The Company and the Seller have agreed to amend this payment schedule effective December 16, 2013. The amended payment schedule, totalling CDN $1.5 million, will occur as follows:

  1. $250,000 on or before December 31, 2013
  2. $250,000 on or before April 30, 2014
  3. $250,000 on or before July 31, 2014
  4. $250,000 on or before October 31, 2014
  5. $500,000 on or before January 31, 2015

The first payment due by December 31, 2013 has been completed. Commencing January 2014, outstanding payment amounts under this amended schedule will carry a 10% annual interest rate, payable monthly on the last day of each month.

The recent sale of the Company's joint venture interest in the Mai Ndombe REDD+ project in the Democratic Republic of Congo has augmented the Company's cash position, providing additional working capital to facilitate this amended payment schedule.

"We are pleased to have arranged a payment schedule with the Seller," said Dr. James Tansey, CEO of Offsetters. "This new schedule allows our Company to remain on a solid financial footing throughout 2014 while supporting our ongoing expansion into new carbon markets and our continued growth in Advisory and Technology Services."
