(CSE:AMMP)(OTCQB:AMMPF)(FSE:601A) (the “Company” or “AmmPower“) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a binding letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement“) to acquire 50.05% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Progressus Clean Technologies, Inc. (“Progressus“), a venture stage green technology company focused on the development of novel hydrogen generation and separation technologies (the “Transaction“).
Progressus’ intellectual property has the potential to directly improve the efficiency of ammonia production through the extraction of hydrogen from dilute syngas.

By bringing together the right partners and technologies, the Transaction marks a key step in unlocking shareholder value.
”The Progressus intellectual property allows us to expand our technology based clean energy agenda. We have multiple use applications where the Progressus technology will enable us to be more vertically integrated while reducing system costs,” said Dr. Gary Benninger, CEO and Executive Chairman of AmmPower.
