Urbana Corporation ("Urbana") (TSX and CSE: URB, URB.A) is pleased to announce that at a special general meeting held on November 13, 2024, Members and Preference Shareholders of Integrated Grain Processors Co-operative Inc. ("IGPC") approved a conversion of IGPC from a co-operative corporation to a business corporation and the subsequent sale of all shares of IGPC under a statutory plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”) to Alco Energy SA, through its Canadian subsidiary, Alco Energy Canada Corp.

IGPC is Canada's largest cooperatively owned fuel ethanol producer and Urbana currently holds 2,052,066 Class E preferred shares or 18.7% of the equity in IGPC.

Completion of the proposed Arrangement is subject to certain conditions, including regulatory approval. The closing of the Arrangement is expected to occur in December 2024.

Urbana’s original investment in IGPC totaled approximately $7.5 million. To date, Urbana has received approximately $11.9 million in dividends and capital distributions.

The current distribution, comprised of sale proceeds and additional dividends, is expected to approximate $64.8 million to Urbana. Much of this amount has already been accrued but it is expected that Urbana’s Net Assets per share (after-tax) will incrementally increase by approximately $0.16.

On behalf of Urbana’s Board of Directors Thomas S. Caldwell, C.M.
