ILI Technologies (TSX VENTURE:ILI) is pleased to announce that its 100% wholly-
owned Mexican subsidiary Cdn Oilfield Technologies & Solutions S. de R.L de C.V.
("COTS") has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") with an
established Mexican construction company (the "Company") to provide financial
and advisory services to arrange financing on a project by project basis in
exchange for revenue sharing terms. The Company is contracted to Schlumberger,
the largest oil and gas service company in Mexico, under a master agreement
("Master Agreement") with Pemex for the construction of infrastructure in urban
and suburban areas valued up to 812 million pesos (approximately 65 million
CDN$). Under the terms of the Master Agreement, all aspects of the project are
fully insured and securitized with a performance bond.
COTS will source funding on behalf of the Company, for an initial project valued
at 79,632,625 million pesos (approximately 6.5 million CDN$) for the
construction of infrastructure for an onshore platform and a right-of-way access
road for Pemex. The required funding under the MOU is estimated at 40 million
pesos (approximately 3.3 million CDN$) and the release of funds to the Company
will be allocated under a controlled monitored process to fund project
management costs, labour, the purchase of materials and construction equipment.
COTS will earn 50% of the net income from the initial project. COTS will retain
the first right of refusal for future funding for the remainder of the services
to be provided by the Company to Schlumberger and Pemex under the Master
Agreement.
The project is expected to commence in May with completion in approximately 70
days after the start of the project. Re-payment of the financing to COTS is
anticipated to be completed approximately 60 days after the completion of the
project under a direct assignment agreement between COTS and the respective
parties.
ILI is currently reviewing financing strategies to secure non-dilutive capital
under the MOU. The MOU is conditional on financing and discussions are currently
underway with key capital sources. Export Development Corporation Canada (EDC)
is listed as an approved source of financing in the Master Agreement.
Phil D'Angelo states, "This is a great window of opportunity for COTS and one
that affords alliances with credible companies in Mexico. There are multiple
projects currently under review and ILI is pleased to be considered as a revenue
partner. It's important for COTS to diversify its business in Mexico and find
multiple sources of revenue with low business risk and exposure. The opportunity
before us is solid as it comes with full securitization components attached to
the projects. COTS has and continues to align itself with credible companies, to
assist in the completion of contracts awarded to them. We now offer an ideal
platform to enter the Mexico energy sector".
