Input Capital Corp. Awarded $4.4 Million Plus Interest and Court Costs in Court Decision

REGINA, May 18, 2018 /CNW/ - Input Capital Corp. ("Input" or the "Company") (TSX Venture: INP) (US: INPCF) announces that yesterday, the Saskatchewan Court of Queen's Bench awarded Input a judgment for $4.4 million, together with interest and court costs, in a matter relating to a streaming contract on which a farmer in SE Saskatchewan defaulted.

The court also ruled in Input's favour on a number of issues which have been alleged in recent media reports. The court also ruled that:

• The streaming contract with the farmer was not a partnership;
• The Cost of Credit Disclosure Act does not apply;
• There was no requirement for Input to be licensed under the Trust and Loans Corporations Act;
• The Unconscionable Transactions Relief Act does not apply because the contract was not a loan;
• Input did not breach any of its contractual obligations to the client; and
• The client was unjustly enriched by the default, and should be required to pay Input.

While Input achieved success in the case, the court did make certain findings that Input believes to be in error.  Input is considering an appeal of these findings.

ABOUT INPUT

Input is an agriculture commodity streaming company with a focus on canola, the largest and most profitable crop in Canadian agriculture. The Company has developed several flexible and competitive forms of financing which help western Canadian canola farmers solve working capital, mortgage finance and canola marketing challenges and improve the financial position of their farms. Under a streaming contract, Input provides capital in exchange for a stream of canola via multi-year fixed-volume canola purchase contracts. To a farmer, Input is like a virtual grain company, buying canola and providing financial solutions. To canola buyers, Input is like a large virtual farm which produces and sells canola over a large geographically diverse footprint, but does not own the land, or equipment or operate the farm. In production terms, Input is the largest canola farm in the world.

Input plans to continue to grow and diversify its low cost canola production profile by entering into streaming contracts with canola farmers across western Canada. Input is focused on farmers with quality production profiles, excellent upside yield potential, and strong management teams.
