STRATHROY, Ontario, Jan. 07, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Eve & Co Incorporated (“Eve & Co” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: EVE; OTCQX: EEVVF) is pleased to announce that it has converted its existing short term $18,700,000 construction facility (the “Construction Facility”) with a Canadian Schedule I Bank to a five year term facility (the “Term Facility”). The interest rate of the facility as previously announced by the Company in March 2019 remains unchanged.
