CALGARY, AB – September 29, 2015 – Crown Capital Partners Inc. (“Crown”) (TSX: CRN) today announced the closing of a subordinated debt agreement (the “Agreement”) with Petrowest Corporation (“Petrowest”) (TSX: PRW).

The term loan bears a fixed interest rate of 11% per annum, compounded and payable monthly, and matures in 36 months. Petrowest has the option to prepay certain amounts within certain periods of time with or without a penalty.

Under the terms of the Agreement, Petrowest has granted to Crown IV LP 4,300,000 warrants. Each warrant entitles Crown IV LP to purchase one class A common share in the capital of Petrowest at an exercise price of $0.40 for a period of five years.

CALGARY, AB – September 24, 2015 – Crown Capital Partners Inc. (“Crown”) (TSX: CRN) today announced the closing of its fourth special situations debt fund, Crown Capital Fund IV, LP (“Crown IV LP” or the “Fund”) with initial capital commitments of $100 million. The Fund’s initial limited partners, including Crown, will contribute a total of $15 million for the initial capitalization of the Fund with further capital calls to be made as funds are required.

Crown IV LP will invest in Special Situations Financing transactions originated and managed by Crown. Crown’s Special Situations Financing solutions consist of senior and subordinated loans with terms ranging from six months to five years. These financing solutions are typically secured by the borrower client’s business and assets, subject to prior interests of any existing senior lenders in the case of subordinated loans. Special Situations Financing solutions are structured to limit ownership dilution and provide the borrower client with the ability to focus on managing and growing their business. In some transactions, Crown also structures Special Situations Financing solutions to include issuance by the borrower client of warrants, payments in kind, phantom equity or gifted shares. Such bonus features provide the Fund with the ability to participate in the growth of such clients in addition to income from interest payments and transaction fees received from the borrower client.

Crown IV LP has a maximum size of $300 million, with additional closings to occur within the next three years as opportunities are identified to fund Special Situations Financing transactions. Crown has committed to invest up to $50,000,000 to Crown IV LP and will initially hold a 50% interest in the Fund. In addition to investment returns on its capital commitment, Crown will earn management fees from Crown IV LP and have the opportunity to earn additional fees based on the performance of the Fund.

“The timing for Crown Capital Fund IV, LP couldn’t be better” says Chris Johnson, President and CEO of Crown, “We have an active pipeline of investment opportunities, many of which arise from the ongoing volatility in financial markets. We would like to thank the initial limited partners for their continued support of our business.”

CALGARY, AB – September 21, 2015 – Crown Capital Partners Inc. (“Crown”) (TSX: CRN) today announced the repayment by Claude Resources Inc. (TSX: CRJ; OTCQB: CLGRF) of a special situations loan managed by Crown.
