Company Facilitates Sale of Initial Block of Shares for Principal Financial Partner

Corsicana, Texas--(Newsfile Corp. - March 19, 2024) - Midwest Energy Emissions Corp. (TSXV: MEEC) (OTCQB: MEEC) ("ME₂C Environmental " or the "Company"), a leading environmental technologies firm, announced today that the Company will be receiving a credit of $960,000 against the remaining outstanding principal balance of the unsecured note held by its principal financial partner.

As part of the debt restructuring previously reported, the Company has been granted the ability to facilitate the sale of certain shares of common stock held by the lender through the end of 2024 and would be entitled to receive dollar for dollar credits based upon the amount received by such lender. On March 11, 2024, the private sale of certain restricted shares held by the lender to certain unaffiliated third parties was completed which entitled the Company to receive the credit being announced today.

The Company indicated that any further sales of stock held by the lender facilitated by the Company through the end of 2024 will entitle the Company to receive a dollar for dollar credit against the non-recourse profit share held by the lender.

Richard MacPherson, Chief Executive Officer of ME₂C Environmental, stated, "Following the recent announcement of this restructured debt arrangement with our financial partner which provided millions of dollars of benefits immediately, we have now additionally reduced the remaining outstanding principal balance owing by an additional $960,000 as a result of this private sale of restricted stock offered to friends and family being announced today. We remain committed to continuing our efforts to further reduce and ultimately eliminate any remaining debt obligations with this lender."
