Orbite Files Preliminary Base Shelf Prospectus

Orbite Technologies Inc. (TSX:ORT) (OTCQX:EORBF) (“Orbite” or the “Company”) announced the filing of a preliminary short form base shelf prospectus (the “Prospectus”) with the securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces of Canada.
The Prospectus is not a commitment to undertake any financing but provides flexibility over the normal course of business to fund, if needed, the demonstration of the Company’s proprietary waste monetization technology. Additionally, the Prospectus would be available to support additional commercial activities in regards to the Company’s high purity alumina (“HPA”) initiative, including the increase in capacity of the Company’s HPA plant and the production to inventory of specialty customized HPA products with high market potential.
“The filing of this base shelf prospectus provides us with additional flexibility in pursuing the large commercial opportunity represented by our waste monetization technology and puts us in a stronger position while we are in negotiations with potential funding partners,” stated Glenn Kelly, CEO of Orbite. “Additionally, it provides the flexibility to pursue certain additional commercial opportunities in the HPA space, if needed. The base shelf prospectus can be executed upon in multiple stages, with the funds used to create significant shareholder value at every step.”
These filings, when made final, will allow the Company to make offerings of common shares, warrants, debt securities, convertible securities, rights or units comprising any combination of the foregoing (all of the foregoing, collectively, the “Securities”), up to an aggregate offering of $60,000,000. Securities may be offered separately or together, in amounts, at prices and on terms to be determined based on market conditions at the time of sale and set forth in an eventual accompanying shelf prospectus supplement and, subject to applicable regulations, may include public offerings of debt or equity, or strategic investments. The Prospectus will remain effective for a 25 month period from filing of the final short form base shelf prospectus.
The Company also filed a revised annual information form (the “Revised AIF”) in order to better align the disclosure therein with the Company’s short-term and mid-term priorities and recognize that the mining operations are of lesser importance during these stages. Consequently, the Revised AIF no longer includes by reference the NI 43-101 Revised Technical Report – Preliminary Economic Assessment dated January 12, 2012, amended and restated on May 30, 2012 (the “PEA”). A description of the changes made in the Revised AIF appears on its front page.
