ME2C® Environmental Announces Debt Repayment Agreement Extension with Alterna Capital Partners

Agreement with Major Lending Partner Extended to Support Timing of Planned Near-Term Uplisting

CORSICANA, TX, January 26, 2022 — Midwest Energy Emissions Corp. (OTCQB: MEEC) (“ME₂C Environmental” or the “Company”), a leading environmental technologies firm, today announced that it has entered into an agreement with AC Midwest Energy LLC (“Alterna”), an affiliate of Alterna Capital Partners, a registered investment advisor, which extends the closing date deadline for the debt repayment agreement with Alterna, previously announced in June 2021. The agreement will repay all existing secured and unsecured debt obligations presently held by Alterna.  The original terms of the agreement remain consistent with a new closing date of no later than June 30, 2022.

“As a long-term holder of MEEC stock, the extension agreement reached with Alterna, shows this partner’s increased interest in the value of our company and strategic growth initiatives,” said Richard MacPherson, Chief Executive Officer of ME₂C Environmental. “Alterna’s agreement to accept a significant portion of the debt in equity, rather than a cash payment, is a testament to their confidence in our ability to move forward successfully.” 

“We are thankful for the support of our long-term shareholders and excited for our path forward as we move into 2022,” concluded MacPherson.

The completion of the transaction described herein with Alterna is subject to various closing conditions.
