QUEBEC CITY, Sept. 10, 2012 /CNW/ - CO₂ Solutions Inc. (TSX-V: CST) ("CO₂ Solutions" or the "Corporation"), an innovator in the field of enzyme-enabled carbon capture technology, announced today that Dr. Alan Shaw has resigned from the Company's Board of Directors.

Dr. Shaw represented Codexis, Inc. ("Codexis") on CO₂ Solutions' Board pursuant to a subscription agreement entered into between the two companies on December 15, 2009. As part of that agreement Codexis acquired 10,000,000 common shares of CO₂ Solutions by way of private placement, and CO₂ Solutions agreed to allow Codexis to nominate a representative to the CO₂ Solutions Board of Directors subject to certain conditions. Given Dr. Shaw's resignation as President and CEO of Codexis earlier this year, Codexis has indicated to the Corporation that it will be nominating a new representative to the CO₂ Solutions Board to replace Dr. Shaw in due course.

"We wish to thank Dr. Shaw for his contributions to CO₂ Solutions during his tenure and wish him well as he pursues his interests outside of Codexis," said Evan Price, Chairman of CO₂ Solutions' Board of Directors.
