Denver – July 5, 2016 (TSX:IMP) Intermap Technologies Corporation (“Intermap” or the “Company”), (TSX: IMP), (ITMSF: BB), a global provider of location based solutions, today provided an update on its previously announced $175 million contract (the “Contract”) for the creation, operation and maintenance of a national spatial data infrastructure (“SDI”) program (the “Project”).
In its 2016 first quarter financial results report dated May 12, 2016, the Company disclosed the expectation that the Project would commence during the second quarter upon the closing of the Project’s finance facility (the “Financing”). Intermap has been advised by the client that the Financing process is in its final phase with a leading multilateral financial institution. In accordance with the terms of the Contract, the Company is scheduled to receive a $12 million down payment upon the closing of the Project Financing, at which time the project will officially launch. Intermap has been working with the client to satisfy operational requirements and is pleased to confirm that it has received its required ITAR permit from the US State Department to operate its proprietary IFSAR technology in the client’s jurisdiction. The International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) are a set of United States Government regulations on the export and import of defense related articles and services, under which Intermap’s interferometric synthetic aperture radar (IFSAR) technology falls internationally.
“We continue to support the client in the path to the financial close of this landmark transaction,” said Todd Oseth, Intermap’s President and CEO. “The sheer complexity, both technical and financial, of this first-of-a-kind project, has led to some innovative solutions that would serve the Company well in the pursuit of similar projects in the future. We look forward to demonstrate our resources and capabilities in the client jurisdiction and beyond.”
