MONTREAL, June 4, 2012 /CNW Telbec/ - Clemex Technologies Inc. (TSXV: CXG.A) announces it has received the TSX Exchange approval and has finalized a $1,044,000 Private Placement with a Strategic German partner Zwick/Roell AG of ULM, Germany. Clemex issued 5,800,000 new common shares at $0.18 per share in consideration of the investment and therefore, Zwick/Roell will hold 19.46% of the total outstanding common shares of Clemex with this transaction. New shares are subject to a four month and one day hold period.
Zwick/Roell Group who has been a customer of Clemex for the past three years account for about 5% of Clemex's total sales. These new funds will be used to finalize the development of new instruments by Clemex and begin the commercial launching of our products in the Life Sciences markets.
Following the conclusion of the transaction, President and CEO of Clemex Technologies Inc. declared: "We are extremely honored that Zwick/Roell decided to invest in the Corporation. This investment reflects the confidence and satisfaction they have in our products, and in our capacity to design and manufacture even more instruments in the future. Clemex and Zwick have had a very successful business relation in the last few years, particularly with our MicroHardness test software through their Hardness division, Indentec, located in the UK. We now foresee new relationship as both companies have common interests in other Clemex products." He continued: "Zwick Roell is not only a good customer of Clemex, but they are the largest Physical Test equipment manufacturer in the world, with a worldwide distribution network. Already, some dealers have been identified as both Zwick Roell and Clemex Dealers, more specifically in Asia. We believe that this can only be beneficial to both companies on an International market."
Dr Stefan Roell, President and CEO of Zwick/Roell AG pursued:" Zwick is also very satisfied with the investment in Clemex's shareholding. We have had good business relations with them for three years now and we have learned to appreciate the staff and Corporation's business model to the point that we want to be part of their future. We have sent our IT Team to run a Software Due Diligence and the findings concluded that Clemex software is up to its worldwide reputation, being an excellent image analysis software for materials testing application, and this criterion fits precisely in our philosophy of business."
