“These banking facilities are an extremely important milestone for FTG and will help enable us to move forward with our internal and/or external international growth plans”, added Mr. Brad Bourne, President and Chief Executive Officer.

In addition Mr. Bourne announced that a settlement was agreed to between the Corporation and two plaintiffs who had commenced a legal claim against it in 2006, seeking damages for an alleged migration of chemicals onto theirs lands from the Corporation’s former Toronto factory. The settlement also includes the current owner of the subject lands and the bankrupt estate of Glendale International Corp. (“Glendale”), another former owner of the subject lands.
