CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - June 15, 2017) - CES Energy Solutions Corp. ("CES" or the "Corporation") (TSX:CEU)(OTCQX:CESDF) (OTC - Nasdaq Intl: CESDF) is pleased to announce that it has changed its corporate name from "Canadian Energy Services & Technology Corp." to "CES Energy Solutions Corp." effective today. CES has significantly transformed its business since its initial public offering in March 2006, and has broadened its operational footprint across North America. The new company name avoids geographic reference, while incorporation of the CES acronym helps to maintain brand recognition.
At the annual general and special meeting of shareholders held on June 15, 2017 (the "Meeting"), shareholders representing approximately 100.0% of votes cast approved the name change.
Subject to the final submission and processing of documents with the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX"), it is expected that the common shares of the Corporation will commence trading on the TSX and be quoted on the OTC under the Corporation's new name at the opening of business on or about June 20, 2017. The Corporation's common shares will continue to trade on the TSX and be quoted on the OTC under the trading symbols CEU and CESDF, respectively.

Based on the proxies received and on a ballot conducted at the Meeting, the following individuals, being the eight nominees listed in the management information circular of the Corporation dated May 11, 2017 (the "Circular"), were elected as directors of the Corporation until the next annual shareholders' meeting:

Dividend Declared
In addition, CES announces today that it will pay a cash dividend of $0.0025 per common share on July 14, 2017 to shareholders of record at the close of business on June 30, 2017.
Nasdaq International Designation
CES is also pleased to announce that the Corporation has been admitted to Nasdaq's International Designation program, a new visibility offering available to international companies. CES' common shares have been quoted on the over-the-counter market ("OTC") since 2012 under the OTCQX program. As the Corporation's US operations continue to grow, so has the increase in interest from the US investment community. The Nasdaq International Designation will provide CES with access to Nasdaq's investor marketing programs and investor relations services to increase the visibility of CES in the US capital markets. Nasdaq will distribute CES' news through Nasdaq's press release distribution service, reaching both investor and financial news and online services.
The Nasdaq International Designation is not a US regulated public exchange, and there are no additional regulatory or compliance requirements to what is currently in place for the Corporation's OTC quotation. The companies who participate in this program are not subject to the same listing or qualification standards applicable to securities listed on a US public exchange market that is regulated by the US Securities and Exchange Commission. However, Nasdaq International Designation companies are distinguished from other OTC traded companies by having met Nasdaq's high program requirements.
