Marching Moose Capital Corp. Announces Proposed Qualifying Transaction

Vancouver, British Columbia. Marching Moose Capital Corp. ("MMCC" or the "Company"), a capital pool company, is pleased to announce that it has entered into a agreement in principle dated November 2, 2015 (the "LOI") for the acquisition (the "Proposed Transaction") of Empower Environmental Solutions Ltd. ("Empower"), a private company incorporated under the provincial laws of British Columbia. Upon completion of the Proposed Transaction, the business of Empower will become the business of MMCC.

MMCC is a capital pool company and the Proposed Transaction is intended to constitute the Company's qualifying transaction ("Qualifying Transaction") under Policy 2.4 of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"). The Proposed Transaction is an arm's length transaction and accordingly will not require the approval of MMCC’s shareholders.

About Empower

Empower, a British Columbia company, was incorporated on November 24, 2010. Empower has designed a low impact, efficient and effective closed loop recycling and extraction system that separates 100% of the components of asphalt shingles for sale to original producers and users of the components. It has been conducting research and testing its developments to arrive at its vision for a production facility. In August 2015 Empower concluded a private placement raising $1,030,000. It has secured leased premises in Delta that has five acres of land and of which two acres is comprised of a large building that will house the recycling plant and consists of numerous offices and a boardroom.

Empower has four shareholders who own more than 5% of the common shares of Empower’s capital stock. They are Terry A. Charles and Gord J. Johnson, each owning 23.9%; Deirdre Kenney who owns 13.9% and David W. Smalley who owns 8.7%, who are all residents of British Columbia. There are an additional 33 shareholders who own less than 5% of Empower.

Empower is presently in the process of completing its year end financial statements and audit.

Terms of the Proposed Transaction

Pursuant to the terms of the LOI, MMCC will acquire Empower in exchange for a maximum of 31,722,745 post-consolidated common shares of MMCC (the "Transaction Shares") as set forth below. The Transaction Shares will be issued to the shareholders of Empower pursuant to exemptions from the registration and prospectus requirements of applicable securities laws. The Transaction Shares will be subject to resale restrictions as required under the applicable securities legislation and the Exchange and will also be subject to escrow restrictions as required by the Exchange.

In connection with the Proposed Transaction, the Company will change its name to a name acceptable to Empower and to applicable regulatory authorities.

It is expected that upon completion of the Proposed Transaction, the resulting issuer (the "Resulting Issuer") will be listed as a Tier 2 Diversified Industries Issuer on the Exchange.

Completion of the Proposed Transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including execution of a definitive agreement, completion of satisfactory due diligence, receipt of applicable regulatory approvals, Name Change, Share Consolidation and completion of the private placement financing as set forth below. There can be no assurance that the Proposed Transaction will be completed as proposed or at all.

Name Change and Consolidation

Prior to the completion of the Proposed Transaction, MMCC will complete a share consolidation on a 2 to 1 basis (two pre-consolidated shares for one post-consolidated share) (the “Share Consolidation”) and a name change, expected to be to “Empower Environmental Solutions Ltd.”

Under the terms of the LOI, MMCC will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Empower in exchange for the issuance of common shares of MMCC on the basis of one post-consolidated common share of MMCC for every one Empower share held. There are currently 31,722,745 Empower common shares issued. This will result in MMCC issuing an aggregate of 31,722,745 post-consolidated common shares to acquire Empower. Upon completion of the Proposed Transaction, Empower will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

There are currently 3,640,004 MMCC common shares issued and outstanding, as well as 200,000 common share purchase warrants and 346,650 stock options of MMCC outstanding.

Upon completion of the Proposed Transaction, all MMCC common shares to be issued to holders of Empower shares upon completion of the Proposed Transaction may be subject resale restrictions under applicable securities laws and the policies of the Exchange, as applicable. In addition, all common shares held by Principals of MMCC (as such term is defined in the policies of the Exchange) will be held in escrow in accordance with the policies of the Exchange.

All securities issued pursuant to the private placement financing will be subject to a hold period of four months and one day.

The proceeds of the Private Placement will be used to fund the costs associated with completing the Proposed Transaction, equipment purchases and general working capital purposes.

MMCC will pay commission equal to 8% of all proceeds raised and warrants equal to 7% of the common shares issued pursuant to the private placement. One warrant allows the holder to acquire one common share at an exercise price of $0.50 per share. The warrants will expire on the second anniversary of their issue.
