MCW Fuels Inc. (An MCW Energy Group Limited Subsidiary) Enters Into Binding Agreement To Acquire Westco Petroleum Distributors Inc.

Jun 13th 2012:

MCW Energy Group Limited, a Canadian holding company with two business units focused on value creation; i) MCW Fuels Inc., a well established distributor of gasoline and diesel fuels to service stations in southern California, and ii) MCW Oil Sands Recovery, LLC, is pleased to announce that MCW Fuels has signed an agreement (the “Agreement”) to acquire Western Petroleum Distributors Inc. (“Westco”).

Pursuant to the Agreement, MCW Fuels will pay $2,000,000 USD in exchange for Reseller Distribution Agreements (“Distribution Agreements”) to become the sole fuel supplier to a total of 16 Westco-supplied service stations located throughout Southern California.  The Distribution Agreements are expected to add approximately 25,000,000 gallons of fuel to MCW Fuels’ current annual sales volume of 75,000,000 gallons throughout California.

It is anticipated that the Agreement will be implemented in two phases: 

1. Phase one details the assignment, by Westco to MCW Fuels, of seven existing ConocoPhilips 76 Branded Reseller Distribution Agreements, each with a term of ten years, for a total consideration of $1,000,000 USD due on or before June 15, 2012.  MCW Fuels has secured $1,000,000 from an existing lender which will be used to finance the first phase of the Agreement.  The consideration paid to Westco pursuant to the first phase of the Agreement will be subject to a one year hold back of $250,000 unless certain performance benchmarks are met.

2. Phase two of the Agreement is the assignment, by Westco to MCW Fuels, of an additional 9 (nine) ConocoPhilips 76 Branded Reseller Distribution Agreements, each with the same ten-year term, for a total consideration of $1,000,000 USD due on or before January 31, 2013. The consideration paid to Westco pursuant to the second phase of the Agreement will also be subject to a one year hold back of $250,000 unless certain performance benchmarks are met.

“The acquisition of Westco’s 76 Branded Reseller Distribution Agreements is a very important benchmark in MCW Fuel’s growth as we further solidify our position as one of the top three fuel suppliers here in Southern California,” stated David Sutton, President of MCW Fuels.
