5. Full Description of Material Change
Krystal Bond Inc. announced that it has completed the acquisition of Hamilton, Ontario-based Entac Inc., a privately held producer of proprietary organic, environmentally safe, liquid binder/sealant products.
Jim Griffiths, President of Krystal Bond, emphasized the positives of bringing the two companies together. “Entac’s active customer base is evidence of a strong and growing market for their environmentally sound binders and sealers.” He added that “given our progress in developing Krystal Bond’s products for the waste and building materials industries, we will now embark on an aggressive marketing roll-out for both product lines.”
Entac Inc. manufactures and sells binders from naturally occurring resins. These emulsions, effective in controlling dust, and in sealing stockpiles, mine tailings, road bases and landfill sites, are currently used by some of Canada’s largest manufacturing and mining companies. Other

applications include coal fines and steel mill waste agglomeration, and all utilize Entac and Enviroseal products.
Griffiths elaborated with the fact that “the company will now be able to market a full range of organic and inorganic binders to address the operational and environmental challenges of the mining, steel, coal, waste, construction and building materials industries.”
Under the transaction, Krystal Bond is acquiring 100% of Entac Inc. for 2,733,334 common shares of Krystal Bond at CDN$0.30 per share (CDN $820,000) and a CDN $1 million, 3-year 5% convertible debenture in favour of Entac’s largest shareholder. The debenture is convertible into 666,667 common shares of Krystal Bond at $1.50 per share, and under certain conditions, Krystal Bond may call for the conversion if its shares trade at $1.75 per share. Additional consideration included the issuance of 666,667 one-half of one common share purchase warrants. Two Warrants entitle the holder to acquire one common share at a price equal to the weighted average price at which any common shares are issued, pursuant to any equity financing, during the six-month period immediately following the date of issue of the Warrants, in any event such price shall not be less than $0.30 per common share. In the event that no equity financing is completed by the Issuer during the six-month period immediately following the date of issue of the Warrants, then the exercise price shall be $0.30 per common share. The parties to the transaction are at arm’s length.
Entac’s binder technology has been successful in producing a family of stable and consistent organic emulsions using natural resins as the primary ingredient. An automated process ensures customers product quality, consistency and cost effectiveness. The organic origin and environmental transparency of Entac products offer significant advantages, making the company an increasingly preferred supplier for road stabilization, stockpile management and dust control applications. The product is non-water soluble, will not leach, has excellent binding capacity and remains in solution for application.
