Discussions are ongoing among the Partners with a number of interested investor groups respecting the form and terms of an equity financing for Canada Gas Corp, however, the Partners will now finalize the share exchange ratios and seek conditional Toronto Venture Exchange acceptance of the transaction.

After the meetings, the Partners will require court and final Exchange approval prior to the Company being called to trade.
