A total of 57,500,000 common shares have been issued at a price $1.40 per share for gross proceeds of $80,500,000, which included the exercise in full of the over-allotment option granted to the underwriters.

Such projects include potential capital investments (including pipelines, NGL terminals and truck racks and fractionation facilities), acquisitions and consolidation opportunities.

Mr. Wright is the former Executive Vice President, Strategy and Corporate Development at AltaGas and has over 30 years of experience in energy, power, infrastructure, utility and legal businesses, as well as in a broad range of governance and community service roles.

Upon the addition of Mr. Wright, the Board will be comprised of Joel MacLeod, Doug Fraser, Stephen Holyoake, Trevor Wong-Chor and David Wright.
