REGINA, May 11, 2016 /CNW/ - Input Capital Corp. ("Input") (TSX Venture: INP) (US: INPCF) is pleased to announce that it has now substantially resolved the largest of the three streaming contracts which were terminated in November 2015.

As a result of management's determined collection efforts related to this streaming contract, the following results have been achieved:

• In late March, Input took titled possession of approximately 2,000 acres of farmland;
• On May 1, a farm equipment auction was held in which approximately 60% of the equipment held as security was auctioned. The auction was very successful, with over 800 bidders registered to bid and gross sales exceeding the expectations of the auctioneer; and
• Late yesterday, the titles to approximately 3,000 acres of additional farmland were transferred to Input.

Input has taken possession of the balance of the equipment and is planning a second auction for June 2016.

The 5,000 acres of farmland now owned by Input have been rented to local farmers for the 2016 growing season. Input plans to market the land for sale after harvest and has already had several inquiries from potential purchasers.

Management expects that the proceeds of the auctions and the planned land sales will result in a complete recovery of Input's capital associated with this streaming contract.

"This resolution proves the strength of Input's security package and realization process," said President & CEO Doug Emsley. "We have always been determined to protect our capital, and these results prove that this works in practice and not just in theory.  If a canola stream goes bad, Input's capital remains safe so that it can be recovered and redeployed with other farmers, continuing the growth trajectory of Input's streaming business."

NEITHER TSX VENTURE EXCHANGE NOR ITS REGULATION SERVICES PROVIDER (AS THAT TERM IS DEFINED IN POLICIES OF THE TSX VENTURE EXCHANGE) ACCEPTS RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ADEQUACY OR ACCURACY OF THIS RELEASE.
