Arizona Tribune - Forward Water Technologies Corp. Announces Amendments to Convertible Debenture Financing Terms

The Convertible Debentures will mature on the date that is 36 months from the date of issuance (the "Maturity Date") and bear interest at 14% per annum, payable annually. Until the principal and all interest owing are paid, a holder shall have the option to convert the principal owing pursuant to the Convertible Debenture into common shares of the Company at a conversion price of $0.07 per share during the first year of the term, and at a conversion price of $0.10 thereafter, subject to customary adjustments. At the holder's option, the Company will apply to the TSX Venture Exchange for approval to convert accrued interest into Common Shares at the then prevailing market price, pursuant to the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange.

Certain insiders of the Company intend to participate in the Private Placement and are expected to subscribe for at least 25% of the offering. Any participation by insiders in the Private Placement will constitute a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company intends to rely on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements of sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 in respect of such insider participation, based on a determination that fair market value of the participation in the Offering by insiders will not exceed 25% of the market capitalization of the Company, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101.

Closing of the Private Placement is subject to the Company obtaining all necessary corporate and regulatory approvals, including approval of the TSXV. The Private Placement will be conducted in reliance upon certain prospectus exemptions. Pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws, all securities issued in connection with the Private Placement will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months plus a day from the date of issuance. The Company may pay finders' fees in connection with the Private Placement and in accordance with the policies of the TSXV.
