Offsetters Closes Sale of Interest in Mai Ndombe REDD+ Project
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Dec 18, 2013) -
Offsetters Climate Solutions Inc. ("OCS" or the "Company")
(TSX-VENTURE:COO)(FRANKFURT:9EA) is pleased to announce that its
subsidiary, ERA Ecosystem Restoration Associates Inc. ("ERA"), has
completed the sale of its interest in the Mai Ndombe Joint Venture
Project (the "JV Project") to Wildlife Works Carbon, LLC ("WWC"),
as detailed in the Company's news release dated October 31, 2013.
Prior to this Agreement, ERA and Wildlife Works were 50/50 joint
venture partners in the Mai Ndombe REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from
Deforestation and Degradation) project in the Democratic Republic
of Congo.
The assets sold to WWC comprising the JV Project include all of
ERA's shares in its DRC subsidiary, ERA Congo SPRL, and the
Company's shares of its Hawaiian subsidiary together with all
rights, title and interest in forest concession rights, community
agreements and other contracts relating to the JV Project. WWC has
remitted its first payment towards a total consideration of
USD$1,800,000 under the terms of the sales agreement.
Upon closing, ERA and WWC have entered into an Emissions Rights
Purchase Agreement ("ERPA") providing ERA the right to purchase
500,000 Verified Carbon Units ("VCUs") from WWC. This allows the
Company to fulfill its existing sales agreement between ERA and the
Forest Carbon Group AG, which requires the delivery of 500,000 VCUs
from the Mai Ndombe project through the end of 2014.
"With the completion of this transaction, Offsetters has been
successful in undertaking the development, verification and
monetization of one of the world's largest forest carbon projects -
a project that will continue to deliver economic, social and
environmental benefits to the people of the Mai Ndombe region,"
said Dr. James Tansey, CEO of Offsetters. "Our company will
continue to develop projects to meet the demand of North American
and international carbon markets."
