Grenville Completes Investment in Cherubim Builders Group, LLC

Toronto, Ontario, April 28, 2014 /Marketwired/ – Grenville Strategic Royalty Corp. (TSXV: GRC) (“Grenville”) is pleased to announce that it has completed the purchase of a gross sales royalty from Cherubim Builders Group, LLC (“Cherubim”) for a purchase price of USD$1 million, with an option, if agreed upon by both companies, to advance an additional USD $500,000. In exchange for these advances, Grenville will receive a royalty based on Cherubim’s gross revenues within Grenville’s targeted 1% – 4% royalty range, subject to certain adjustments.

Cherubim is a Fort Worth, Texas-based holding company with three operating subsidiaries in the construction industry: WaterMasters Restoration Inc., Designer Lane, Inc. and Metroplex Home Repair, Inc., DBA Gregg Construction. Cherubim is engaged primarily in large loss/fire restoration and reconstruction projects within the Dallas/Fort Worth area and has over twenty years of experience servicing its existing insurance partners.

“Cherubim is a long-standing, family-like business which has seen sustainable growth and a history of profitability through its network of insurance relationships”, said William (Bill) R. Tharp, Grenville’s Chief Executive Officer. “There is a solid fit between the Cherubim team, led by Charly Everett, and we are confident that our capital will help Cherubim expand its business within the Dallas/Fort Worth market.”

Charles Everett, Chief Executive Officer of Cherubim, commented: “The two most frustrating hurdles facing a small business that is poised to grow based on opportunities at hand are…funding and funding. Grenville and their personnel are highly motivated, courteous and professional, and meet all criteria for adding a new “partner” to a business. From first introduction, they had one thing in mind: mutuality in finding common ground for both parties’ interests to be served. Grenville is truly “partner worthy” in all respects. We couldn’t be more pleased with the relationship with Grenville and are extremely optimistic about the future of our relationship with Grenville.”

Cherubim represents Grenville’s 9th investment since its inception in July, 2013. To date, Grenville has completed approximately $5.7 million in royalty-based financings across Canada and the US.

About Grenville

Grenville is a Toronto-based company that was formed to provide royalty-based finance solutions by acquiring revenue streams generated by growing industrial and technology businesses. Grenville has identified a large and underserviced finance market for companies generating up to $50 million in revenue, many of which are well managed and generating improving cash flow, but face difficult financing hurdles from traditional debt and equity markets. The non-dilutive royalty financing structure offered by Grenville can bridge the financing needs of these companies until traditional debt or equity is available to them on more attractive commercial terms. The application of Grenville’s royalty financing structure into sectors not traditionally serviced by royalty companies represents a new and innovative financing model – Capital Simplified – that has already attracted a considerable number of opportunities with attractive potential returns.
