Kontrol Energy Completes Acquisition of New Found Air
Acquisition Adds Recurring Revenue Service Platform
TORONTO, ON / August 4, 2020 - Kontrol Energy Corp. (CSE:KNR)(OTCQB:KNRLF)(FSE:1K8) ("Kontrol" or "Company") announces that it has completed the acquisition of New Found Air ("NFA"), previously announced on May 19, 2020. NFA leads a building energy and service platform that ensures the effective monitoring, operation and service of essential heating, cooling, ventilation, and utility systems. The operations of NFA are diversified across the commercial, industrial, and multi-residential building sector.
"By closing the NFA acquisition we are well positioned to expand our technology and smart buildings solutions," says Paul Ghezzi, CEO Kontrol Energy. "NFA has a blue-chip customer base and a service business with growing recurring revenues. These customers represent a new organic growth opportunity for Kontrol's products and services."
Kontrol has acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of NFA for consideration of $2.7 Million; paid as $1.55 Million in cash, $750,000 vendor take-back loan having performance conditions, and the issuance of 727,272 Kontrol common shares at a deemed price of $0.55 cents per share.
NFA will initially be a separate operating subsidiary of Kontrol with an established strong management team which will remain in place. Over the coming six months there will be a transition to a full integration within Kontrol's operating platform and the potential for cost synergies based on the consolidation of staff and administrative systems.

Certain information included in this press release, including information relating to future financial or operating performance and other statements that express the expectations of management or estimates of future performance constitute "forward-looking statements". Such forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding possible future acquisitions, organic growth, the provision of solutions to customers and Greenhouse Gas emissions reductions, proposed financial savings and sustainable energy benefits and energy monitoring. The global outbreak of COVID-19 (coronavirus) has had a significant impact on businesses through the restrictions put in place by the Canadian, provincial, and municipal governments regarding travel, business operations and isolation/quarantine orders. At this time, the extent of the impact of COVID-19 on the Company is unknown as this will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and that cannot be predicted with confidence. These uncertainties arise from the inability to predict the ultimate geographic spread of the disease, and the duration of the outbreak, including the duration of travel restrictions, business closures or disruptions, and quarantine/isolation measures that are currently, or may be put, in place by Canada and other countries to fight the virus. Where the Company expresses or implies an expectation or belief as to future events or results, such expectation or belief are based on assumptions made in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis. Such assumptions include, without limitation, that suitable businesses and technologies for acquisition and/or investment will be available, that such acquisitions and or investment transactions will be concluded, that sufficient capital will be available to the Company, that technology will be as effective as anticipated, that organic growth will occur, and others. However, forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, which could cause actual results to differ materially from future results expressed, projected or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks include, but are not limited to, lack of acquisition and investment opportunities or that such opportunities may not be concluded on reasonable terms, or at all, that sufficient capital and financing cannot be obtained on reasonable terms, or at all, that technologies will not prove as effective as expected, that customers and potential customers will not be as accepting of the Company's product and service offering as expected, and government and regulatory factors impacting the energy conservation industry. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements and the forward-looking statements contained in this press release are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. The forward-looking statements contained herein are made as at the date hereof and the Company does not undertake any obligation to update publicly or revise any such forward-looking statements or any forward-looking statements contained in any other documents whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required under applicable securities law.
