GLV Inc. (“GLV” or the “Corporation”) today announced that it has executed a definitive
agreement for the sale of its Pulp & Paper Division (the “Division”) for $65 million on a debt-free
basis to a corporation owned by Richard Verreault, the President and Chief Executive Officer of
GLV and Laurent Verreault, the Executive Chairman of the Board of GLV (the “Purchaser”).
This transaction will allow GLV to become a pure provider of water treatment products and
solutions in a rapidly growing industry with attractive long-term fundamentals. In addition, the
transaction will significantly strengthen GLV’s balance sheet and position it for accelerated
organic and acquisition growth.
Upon closing, GLV will receive $60 million in cash, transfer a debt of $2 million to the Purchaser
and receive a balance of sale of $3 million payable over the next 42 months. The transaction
price will be subject to usual post-closing adjustments related to working capital. GLV expects
limited tax leakage from the transaction. Transaction value represents approximately 6.1x the
Division’s last five year average EBITDA, adjusted for its share of head office expenses.
