Spark Power Provides Update on Filing Date of First Quarter Financial Statements and 2021 First Quarter Conference Call

OAKVILLE, ON / ACCESSWIRE / May 12, 2021 / Spark Power Group Inc. (TSX:SPG), parent company of Spark Power Corp. ("Spark Power" or the "Company"), announced today that it will delay the filing of its results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2021 and its conference call for investors and analysts to discuss the results of its first quarter. Spark now plans to release its first quarter results before markets open on Monday, May 17, 2021 and to host its conference call for investors and analysts on Tuesday, May 18, 2021.

The Company also announced today that it is in negotiations with its existing lender to restructure the existing credit facility of the Company (the "Credit Facility") to, among other things, extend the term and the amortization period, increase the borrowing capacity in its operating line and term facilities and to make changes to the existing financial covenants to provide the Company with increased flexibility (the "Credit Facility Restructuring"). In connection with the negotiations of the Credit Facility Restructuring, the Company has received a waiver from its lender for not being in compliance with two of the three financial covenants in the Credit Facility as of March 31, 2021. Specifically, the Company did not meet the required minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.25:1.00 and the maximum senior debt to EBITDA ratio of less than 3.50:1.00. As a result, the Company's non-revolving term loan and revolving acquisition line have been classified as current debt at March 31, 2021.

The filing of the Company's results for the first quarter and investors and analysts call have been delayed to facilitate including in such results the details of the Credit Facility Restructuring and the impact of the waiver received from the Company's lender.
