(formerly Cielo Waste Solutions Corp.) Completes Name Change to Reflect its Strategy as a Low-Carbon Energy Infrastructure Platform","author":"Globe Newswire","published_at":"2026-09-29T11:16:22.097Z","article_body":"CALGARY, Alberta, Sept. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Esker Infrastructure\nCorp. (formerly Cielo Waste Solutions Corp.) (TSXV: CMC; OTCQB: CWSFF)\n(“Esker” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce it has changed its\nname to Esker Infrastructure Corp. (“Esker”), effective September 25,\n2026, marking the final step in a year-long strategic transformation from a\ntechnology developer into a project developer. The name change reflects the\nCompany’s previously disclosed strategic direction and business activities\n— specifically, its deliberate shift away from developing proprietary\ntechnology and toward originating, structuring, and financing infrastructure\nprojects built on proven, third-party technologies.\n\nThe TSX Venture Exchange (\"TSXV\") has conditionally approved the Company’s\nname change. The Company expects its common shares to begin trading on the\nTSXV under the new name and ticker symbol \"ESKR\" and on the OTCQB under the\nticker symbol \"ESKRF\" at the opening of trading on October 2, 2026. The\nCompany’s new CUSIP number will be 29643A109 and its new ISIN will be\nCA29643A1093. The Company’s listed common share purchase warrants issued in\nJuly 2022 and expiring in July 2027 are expected to begin trading under the\nnew symbol “ESKR.WT” also at the opening of trading on October 2, 2026.\nThe warrants will have the new CUSIP number 29643A117 and ISIN CA29643A1176.\n\nWhy Esker\n\nAn esker is a ridge formed by water flowing beneath a glacier that creates a\ndurable path through the landscape - a structure that outlasts the system that\ncreated it.\n\n“Our new name reflects our strategy,” said Ryan C. Jackson, Chief\nExecutive Officer. “We are a company that originates, structures and\nfinances long-term, low-carbon energy infrastructure. We develop projects that\nare built to last.”\n\nEsker’s Strategy\n\nOver the past year, the Company has systematically repositioned its business\nmodel to focus on project origination and development rather than technology\ninnovation. This transition has been supported by a renewed executive team and\nBoard of Directors, a risk-gated framework for capital deployment, and a\ndisciplined project development process designed to support sustainable,\nlong-term growth. Together, these changes represent a comprehensive\nrealignment of the Company’s strategy, governance and operational approach.\nThe name change is the final chapter in that transition.\n\nEsker’s inaugural project, Project Nahoonai, is expected to be executed in\nseveral phases across multiple sites in British Columbia, subject to meeting\nthe criteria required to structure a financeable project at each site and is\ncurrently in a pre-final investment decision (“FID”) stage.\n\n“The name change is a change in identity, not in direction,” added Mr.\nJackson. “The strategy that has guided our recent executive and Board\nappointments — building the team and the platform needed to originate,\nstructure and finance a pipeline of projects.”\n\nNo Action Required\n\nThe name change will not result in a change to the Company’s business,\naffairs or issued and outstanding share capital. Existing share certificates\nrepresenting common shares of the Company are expected to remain valid and\nshareholders are not expected to be required to exchange their share\ncertificates.  \n\nOther than the change in the Company’s name and trading symbols described\nabove, shareholders are not required to take any action as a result of the\nname change.\n\nABOUT ESKER\n\nEsker Infrastructure Corp. (formerly Cielo Waste Solutions Corp.) is a project\ndevelopment company advancing sustainable aviation fuel and other low-carbon\nenergy projects. Esker combines strategic feedstock partnerships with proven\nthird-party technologies to develop a scalable pipeline of waste-to-fuels\nprojects, anchored by its flagship Project Nahoonai in British Columbia.\n\nFor further information, please contact:\nEsker Investor Relations\nRyan C.
