“As a successful businessman and advocate for the environment, Kevin is very much aware of the need to balance sustainability with the ever increasing demand for energy,” commented Nathan Hansen, President and CEO. “We are delighted to welcome him as an advisor to Robix and I look forward to working with him in the coming months as we prepare to unveil our first commercial COV unit. I believe Kevin’s guidance and experience will be invaluable to the Company at this stage of our development.”

In addition, Robix intends to settle outstanding indebtedness of $510,000 through the issuance of 680,000 common shares of the Corporation at a deemed price of $0.75 per common share (the “Debt Settlement”). The common shares issued in connection with the Debt Settlement will be subject to a four month hold period.
