NXT Energy Solutions Advises of Re-Filing of 2016 Annual Information Form

CALGARY, Alberta, Aug. 18, 2017 -- NXT Energy Solutions Inc. (“NXT Energy” or the “Company”) (TSX:SFD) (OTCQB:NSFDF) advises that it has refiled the 2016 Annual Information Form, at the request of the Alberta Securities Commission.

The request by the ASC was made due to a disclosure deficiency that was identified in the Information Circular that was filed on May 20^th, 2017. The deficiency was in relation to the use of the incorrect form under National Instrument 58-101 – Corporate Governance Disclosure. The May 20^th, 2017 Information Circular provided disclosure in accordance with Form 58-101F2 instead of Form 58-101F1. The amended 2016 Annual Information Form includes the corrected disclosure Form 58-101F1 appended as Schedule “B”.  Other than the addition of the disclosure in relation to Form 58-101F1, no other material changes were made to the Annual Information Form.

The amended AIF has been filed in Canada on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
