Press Releases

Superior Plus Corp. ("Superior") (TSX:SPB) announced today that, as previously anticipated, the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") filed an administrative complaint charging that Superior's acquisition of Canexus Corporation (the "Transaction") would violate U.S. antitrust laws and has authorized its staff to seek a temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction to prevent Superior from closing the Transaction pending completion of the administrative proceeding.

As of the date hereof, Superior and Canexus have not reached an agreement to extend the June 29, 2016 outside date (the "Outside Date") under the Arrangement Agreement to provide sufficient time to defend the action by the FTC, but discussions are ongoing. Superior is confident that it has a strong case and remains prepared to present a vigorous defense to the FTC challenge of the Transaction if the Arrangement Agreement is extended. Superior has proposed divesting up to an aggregate of 215,000 metric tonnes of sodium chlorate production capacity representing approximately $42 million in annual operating EBITDA and effectively reducing Superior's post-merger market share of U.S. sodium chlorate sales to approximately 35%. If the Outside Date has not been extended on or before June 29, 2016, either party will be entitled to terminate the Arrangement Agreement.

Further information about the Arrangement is set out in Superior's management proxy circular dated February 26, 2016, which is available under Superior's profile on www.sedar.com.
