TORONTO, Oct. 28, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Clear Blue Technologies International Inc. (TSXV: CBLU) (FRANKFURT: OYA) (OTCQB: CBUTF) hereby provides a Board of Directors update today.
The Company announces that Steve Parry and Jane Kearns have resigned from the Company's Board of Directors. Both Jane and Steve have been key advisors and contributors to the company since the foundation of the Company. The Company thanks them for their service and wishes them well in their future endeavours. Directors Miriam Tuerk, Mark Windrim and John Tuerk will continue to serve on the Company's Board of Directors.
Additionally, as has been previously disclosed by the Company, Clear Blue has benefited from several research and development (R&D) grants (as announced on September 22, 2022). As part of those grants, the Company commits to investing certain expenditures in R&D and receives payment in the form of grants and interest free loans to assist in this critical investment in the Company’s Green Energy and AI technologies.
The Company counts on these funds as part of its planning and cashflow management. At this time, the Company has been advised that a large grant payment the Company is supposed to receive will be delayed and no payment date is certain. This delay is impacting the ability of the company to raise additional financing in the short term. As a result, the Company is experiencing cash flow difficulties and may be unable to make certain payments on time. Although the Company is attempting to find alternative sources of funding and is also undertaking certain restructuring steps designed to improve the Company's cash position, there can be no assurances that additional funding will be obtained and if restructuring goals are not achieved, the Company may not be able to continue as a going concern.
“While we are committed to addressing these challenges and we are working with our stakeholders, we must be transparent about our current financial situation,” said Miriam Tuerk, CEO of Clear Blue. “We are exploring all available options to enhance our liquidity, including cost-cutting measures, potential financing alternatives, and strategic partnerships.”
The company is actively working with financial advisors to evaluate its options and is committed to keeping shareholders and stakeholders informed of any significant developments.
