VANCOUVER, British Columbia–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
EverGen Infrastructure Corp. (“EverGen” or the “Company”) (TSXV: EVGN) (OTCQX: EVGIF), announces operational updates at its Pacific Coast Renewables (“PCR”), and Prairie Sky Organics facilities.

Pacific Coast Renewables

Since acquiring the facility in 2021, EverGen has invested in a series of environmental performance improvements to meet the highest regulatory standards and prepare for the facility’s expansion. As part of these efforts, EverGen has sought recognition from its municipal partners in the form of increased tipping fees now secured for the facility.

This increased revenue is anticipated to offset higher operating costs at the site, largely driven by increased regulatory standards and disposal costs from a fire at the facility in early December 2024. Greater Vancouver experienced its wettest year in 25 years, with record precipitation limiting the facility’s ability to process materials during high-rainfall months due to regulatory requirements. As a result, operational adjustments were necessary, which the increased revenue is expected to help support.

Additionally, EverGen has secured a permitting milestone for the PCR RNG expansion project. The City of Abbotsford Agricultural Advisory Committee (“AAC”) has endorsed the RNG expansion project and recommended it for approval. Upon receiving the City of Abbotsford Council approval, the final regulatory step is securing authorization from the Agricultural Land Commission, which is expected to be reviewed in the second half of 2025.

“We would like to thank the City of Abbotsford for its continued support of the PCR RNG Project,” said Mischa Zajtmann, CEO of EverGen. “The AAC’s recommendation is a critical milestone in our permitting process, and we look forward to advancing this project.”

Prairie Sky Organics

After executing a temporary agreement in late 2023 during the search for a permanent operating site, EverGen and the City of Regina mutually agreed to terminate the organic waste processing service agreement, effective January 31, 2025.

“We have valued our collaboration with the City of Regina and the opportunity to support its organic waste management goals,” said Mischa Zajtmann. “As we continue to focus on key projects that maximize our impact and expansion objectives, this step allows us to allocate resources where they can best support our long-term goals.”

Formation of Special Committee

EverGen has received inbound interest from multiple parties with respect to potential strategic transactions (a “Potential Strategic Transaction”). In response the board of directors of the Company has struck an independent special committee (the “Special Committee”) to evaluate and review these opportunities with the goal of maximizing value for EverGen shareholders and other stakeholders of the Company. The Special Committee will make recommendations to the Company’s board of directors in respect of all such matters.

No decisions relating to any specific Potential Strategic Transaction has been made as at the date of this news release and there are no assurances that any Potential Strategic Transaction, or transactions, will result from the formation of the Special Committee and the strategic review process, generally. The Company does not intend to comment further with respect to the strategic review process unless and until it determines that additional disclosure is appropriate in the circumstances and in accordance with applicable securities laws.
