COMMERCIAL SOLUTIONS INC. ("Commercial" or "Company") (TSX:CSA) a major Canadian
distributor of bearings, power transmission equipment, oilfield, industrial, and
safety products today announced the engagement of Sequeira Partners Inc.
("Sequeira") as financial advisor of the Board of Directors to review strategic
alternatives for the Company.


The Board of Directors undertook a thorough review of the Company's current
share price, assets and operations and concluded that the common shares of
Commercial trade at a substantial discount to the inherent value of the business
and underlying assets of the Company. The objective of the strategic review is
to examine a number of alternatives including, but not limited to, joint
ventures, strategic partnerships, mergers, acquisitions, and the sale of the
Company or other corporate transactions to enhance shareholder value. This
process would include seeking proposals from potential buyers. The Company has
not set a definitive schedule to complete its strategic review and there can be
no assurance that any transaction will result. 


On December 4, 2012, the Company had announced a signed Letter of Intent ("LOI")
to be acquired by Industrial Distribution Group ("IDG"). Subsequently, the
Company announced on January 24, 2013 that the Board of Directors of IDG had
determined to withdraw IDG's proposal to acquire the Company. The terms set
forth in the LOI with IDG included a break-fee in cash equal to $1,300,000 which
would be due and payable upon demand by IDG in the event the Company receives an
offer or proposal from any party other than IDG with respect to an alternative
transaction at any time prior to September 30, 2013, and thereafter consummates
an alternative transaction on the terms of such offer or proposal or on amended
terms. Commercial is pleased to announce that the break-fee conditions have been
renegotiated with IDG whereby the break-fee amount has been reduced by
two-thirds to a total of $435,000. This allows the Company to consummate
possible offers or proposals over this period at a reduced cost. The term of
this agreement has been extended to March 31, 2014.
