Toronto, ON – Further to its news release of January 15, 2018 and its final prospectus dated January 31, 2018, Trenchant Capital Corp. (TSX.V: TCC.H) (the “Company”) today announces an amendment to the terms of its proposed public offering (the “Offering”) of secured convertible debentures (the “Debentures”) to reduce the minimum amount of the Offering from $10 million to $5 million and to extend the initial closing date to on or about February 28, 2018. All other terms of the Offering, including the maximum Offering size of $20 million, the offering price of $1,000 per Debenture and the terms of the Debentures, remain unchanged. The minimum amount of the loan to be made by the Company (through a wholly-owned subsidiary) to ABO Investments Limited Partnership, for which the proceeds of the Offering will be used, will also be reduced from $10 million to $5 million. The Company has filed an amended and restated final prospectus with applicable securities regulators with respect to the amended offering size.

None of the Debentures or the common shares into which the Debentures may be converted have been or will be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of the securities, in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would require registration or otherwise be unlawful.

An amended and restated final prospectus containing important information relating to the Debentures has been filed with the securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario. The amended and restated final prospectus, a copy of which is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com., contains important information relating to the Debentures. Investors should read the amended and restated final prospectus, and any amendment thereto, for disclosure of those facts, especially risk factors relating to the Debentures, before making an investment decision.
