FuelPositive Announces Reinstatement of Trading
TORONTO, June 4, 2025 /CNW/ - FuelPositive Corporation (TSXV: NHHH) (OTCQB: NHHHF) (" FuelPositive" or the " Company") announces that its common shares will be reinstated for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange at the open of markets on or about June 6, 2025. The Company was delayed in filing its annual audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, which were due on January 30, 2025. As a result, the Ontario Securities Commission issued a Cease Trade Order (" CTO") on February 3, 2025. The annual audited financial statements and accompanying management's discussion and analysis and officer certifications were completed shortly thereafter, and the CTO was revoked on February 24, 2025. The Company then entered the TSX Venture Exchange's standard reinstatement review process. Annual General Meeting The Company also announces that it intends to convene an annual general meeting (the " Meeting") of shareholders to be held prior to the end of August 2025. The most recent annual general meeting was held on July 12, 2023. Plans for the upcoming Meeting are currently underway and will be announced shortly. The policies of the TSX Venture Exchange require the Company to hold an annual general meeting in each calendar year and no longer than fifteen months from the previous meeting. Due to unexpected disruptions and challenging circumstances, the Company was unable to meet this timing requirement in 2024. The Company confirms that the non-brokered private placement previously announced on December 4, 2024, was interrupted and the offering's planned timeline was impacted by the duration of the reinstatement review process following the lifting of the CTO, and as a result has expired. The Company previously received advances towards the private placement totaling $621,000. The Company intends to settle these advances through the issuance of units of the Company on terms to be determined based on prevailing market conditions at the time. Completion of any settlement remains subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. With reinstated trading, the Company intends to launch a new private placement to raise the working capital needed to support strategic growth. The size and terms of the offering will be determined based on prevailing market conditions and company priorities at the time of launch. Corporate Communications Engagement The Company also confirms, further to its news release of February 25, 2021, that RB Milestone Group LLC (" RBMG") is engaged by the Company to provide corporate communications and investor relations advisory services on an ongoing basis. RBMG is a US-based corporate communications firm that specializes in investor relations advisory. RBMG is currently engaged on a month-to-month basis, for which it is entitled to receive a monthly cash fee of US$10,813. The Company is at arms-length to RBMG, and compensation of RBMG does not include any securities of the Company. To the knowledge of the Company, RBMG does not have any interest, directly or indirectly, in the securities of the Company. Media Strategy Engagement At the request of the TSX Venture Exchange, the Company also confirms that it previously engaged Quantum Ventures SEZC (" Quantum") to advise on media creation and online awareness strategies. Quantum provides media, awareness and strategic consulting services. Quantum was engaged for an initial twelve-month term, expiring April 2025, in consideration for a one-time fee of US$100,000. The engagement, which was undertaken in preparation for the activation of the Company's first ammonia production system, was affected by delays in the system's launch and has since concluded. The Company is at arms-length to Quantum, and compensation of Quantum did not include any securities of the Company. Partnership Development Services The Company engaged Planet Ventures Inc. (" Planet"), an arm's-length party, to support strategic partnership development and facilitate key stakeholder introductions in Manitoba. These services were intended to increase brand visibility in anticipation of the Company's green ammonia system becoming operational by the end of July 2024. While initial work began as planned, the Company had to pause the balance of services until the system is commercially ready, ensuring maximum impact upon resumption of services. As a result, the Company holds a service credit on reserve with Planet in the amount of $453,750, ready to be deployed in alignment with system launch. This amount was originally miscatagorized and has been reclassified as a prepaid expense in the interim financial statements for the six-month period ended March 31, 2025. Corporate Governance As part of its continued commitment to best practices in governance and transparency, and in preparation for the significant scaling of its operations, the Company is building upon its corporate framework with the formal adoption of a Related Party Transactions Policy and a Corporate Disclosure Policy. These policies build on the Company's existing internal practices and reflect its proactive approach to maintaining strong governance as the Company grows.

U.S. ‘can't fight a war' without American steel, Trump tariff chief says
U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick on Wednesday defended the doubling of steel and aluminum tariffs by claiming the United States 'can't fight a war' without domestic production of those materials. Lutnick made the comments while denying the immediate real-world implications that steep tariffs will have on U.S. manufacturing during testimony in front of the U.S. Senate appropriations committee that focused in part on U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff policy. 'The big issue is, you can't fight a war without steel and aluminum production in America,' Lutnick said during an exchange with Democratic U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire, who was asking if he or Trump consulted with the Pentagon before raising those tariffs. 'If you don't have the ability to make your own steel and aluminum, you can't fight a war, and that is what the president's doing. He's trying to make sure that we make sufficient steel and aluminum to protect our defence.' Story continues below advertisement 'Which I certainly support,' Shaheen said, to which Lutnick replied, 'Sounds like we exactly agree.' 'But I don't agree on the way it's been done,' Shaheen responded, 'because we're not going to have the steel that we need immediately to provide the supplies that we need immediately. So we need to do a little better planning before we put in place those kinds of tariffs.' Trump signed an executive order Tuesday that raised tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from 25 per cent — a rate put in place three months ago — to 50 per cent, effective Wednesday. 2:34 Why is Trump doubling steel and aluminum tariffs? In her exchange with Lutnick, Shaheen highlighted concerns from a ball bearing manufacturer in her state that supplies the U.S. aerospace industry.

Sign up for breaking National newsletter Sign Up By providing your email address, you have read and agree to Global News' Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy While she didn't name the company, she said it has only one domestic steel supplier, with the rest of its materials sourced from Canada and the Indo-Pacific. Story continues below advertisement 'Those (foreign suppliers) have been eliminated under the tariffs,' she said, adding that the company is facing both rising costs and production lead times that have grown from 20 weeks to two-and-a-half years. 'What was the determination about how you address those kinds of extended lead times for companies that are producing equipment that's critical to our national security?' she asked. 'It's really a cost issue, not an access issue,' Lutnick replied. 'Well, not according to this company in New Hampshire,' Shaheen said. 'It's an access issue for them.' 'Well, that would be illogical since it's just a tariff, which is monetary,' Lutnick said. 'It's not a sanction. It's just a monetary one.' Canadian steel and aluminum producers — as well as other sectors affected by Trump's various tariff regimes, like automakers — have said higher price points for their products have led to cancelled U.S. contracts. 2:06 Canada ponders response to Trump's latest steel tariffs threat The Canadian Steel Producers Association said last weekend that doubling tariffs to 50 per cent 'essentially closes the U.S. market to our domestic industry for half of its production' and will create 'mass disruption' to North American supply chains. Story continues below advertisement Trump and Lutnick have said tariffs on countries and industries are meant to drive manufacturing back to the U.S. by raising the cost of foreign goods. The tariffs on steel and aluminum specifically were imposed under national security concerns. Trump administration officials have focused particularly on China, warning Beijing could cut off supplies if the trade war escalates. White House economic advisor Kevin Hassett told ABC News on Sunday that China is 'dumping' cheap steel products into the U.S. and other countries 'because it prepares them to win a war, because they're the only ones who can make steel.' 'If we have cannons but not cannonballs, then we can't fight a war,' Hassett said. 'We have to have a steel industry that's ready for American defence.' U.S. defence and aerospace manufacturers have relied on Canadian steel and aluminum for decades — including in wartime. Canada supplied raw materials, components and fully built military vehicles and equipment to the U.S. during the Second World War, helping to bolster American military forces. It later did the same for U.S. forces in the Korean, Vietnam and Middle East wars, as it has for Britain and other allies. To this day, Canadian steel and aluminum is used to build American aircraft, missiles, space technologies and other equipment. Story continues below advertisement The Canadian government has vowed to bolster its own domestic defence industry with Canadian-made steel and aluminum in an effort to protect those industries from Trump's tariffs and move away from U.S. reliance. Defence Minister David McGuinty told a conference of defence contractors last week that the government's goals for boosting the Canadian sector will match the speed at which production ramped up during the Second World War. Lutnick on Wednesday continued to insist that higher tariffs and related costs are a separate issue from supply, and even offered to explain 'how steel works' to Shaheen after the public testimony. 'The company that I've been talking to in New Hampshire understands how it works,' Shaheen responded, 'and they have a problem. They don't need you to explain it to them. They know because they've been in business for years.'
