Toronto, Ontario CANADA, October 12, 2012 /FSC/ - Enssolutions Group Inc. (ENV - TSX Venture, NSLSF - OTC Pink) ("Enssolutions" or the "Company"), a manufacturer and distributor of environmentally responsible emulsion products for a wide variety of industrial and commercial market demands, is pleased to announce the closing of its previously announced non-brokered private placement (the "Offering"). A total of 11,500,000 common shares of the Company ("Common Shares") were issued at a price of $.05 per Common Share for aggregate gross proceeds of $575,000. Mr. David Lincoln, the holder of approximately 60% of the Common Shares, was the only subscriber in the Offering.

accordance with applicable securities laws which expires on February 13, 2013. The Company expects to use the proceeds of the Offering for general working capital and inventory.
Phil Moruzi, the Company's Interim CEO, commented: "The closing of this private placement represents continued support for Enssolutions long-term strategy from our current shareholder base. I am pleased with Mr. Lincoln's commitment to the Company."
Related Party Transaction
Pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"), the Offering is a "related party transaction" for the Company. The Company is exempt from the formal valuation requirement of MI 61-101 in connection with the Offering in reliance on section 5.5(b) of MI 61-101 as no securities of the Company are listed or quoted for trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange, the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ stock market or any other stock exchange outside of Canada and the United States. Additionally, the Company is exempt from obtaining minority shareholder approval in connection with the Offering in reliance on section 5.7(1)(b) of MI 61-101 as, in addition to the foregoing, (i) neither the fair market value of the Common Shares nor the consideration received in respect thereof from insiders exceeds CDN$2.5 million, (ii) the Company has one or more independent directors in respect of the Offering who are not employees of the Company, and (iii) all of the independent directors have approved the Offering.
