COLLINGWOOD, ON / ACCESSWIRE / March 31, 2023 / The Limestone Boat Company Limited ("Limestone" or the "Company") (TSXV:BOAT) - owner and builder of Limestone^® Boats - today reports its financial results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022 ("Q4 FY 2022").

The Company's complete Financial Statements and Management Discussion and Analysis for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022 are available at www.sedar.com or on the Company's website at www.limestoneboatcompany.com.

As previously disclosed by the Company, Limestone is actively working to pursue financial restructuring initiatives, including the debentures issued under the Debenture Indenture, which it expects to be completed in Q2 2023 subject to receiving all required approvals.

In addition to the financial restructuring, the Company has also actively been working on the relocation of the Limestone Boat manufacturing operations to New Brunswick, Canada. The Company is pursuing a new, purpose-built, state of the art plant focused on the Limestone® brand and to re-commence manufacturing operations in 2024. Limestone expects that the new facility will be used to produce the Limestone L200 Centre Console and Runabout models, and new fully-electric EV model later in the same year. The Company has also completed tooling for its new L290 Dual Console which is expected to commence immediately upon taking occupancy of its new manufacturing facilities, with its L270 Dual Console, presently in development, expected to follow within the first year.

The Company continues to have strong dealer support throughout New England, the Great Lakes and beyond. These are markets that can be effectively serviced from Atlantic Canada. More detailed announcements are expected in May of this year.
