Dean Lavernia will receive 100,000 incentive stock options at a price of $0.11 CAD per share as compensation for joining the Board. The options are governed by the Company's stock option plan as approved at the last annual meeting on October 18, 2013 and as such vest over three years and are exercisable over a term of five years. All options offered by the Company are subject to TSX Venture Exchange (TSX-V) approval.
Dean Lavernia brings to Cal Nano a vast network of contacts and unparalleled expertise in the field of material science.

"The addition of Dean Lavernia to the Cal Nano team will provide additional insight and expertise into the commercial world of Nanotechnology. We look forward to many additional opportunities and commercial successes to come," stated Christopher Melnyk, CEO.
The Company plans to put forward a larger slate of directors at the annual meeting to be held in Calgary this fall. At that time, it will be possible for Mr. David Grant to return to the Board.
