Toromont Completes Spinoff of Enerflex

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - June 1, 2011) - Toromont Industries Ltd. (TSX:TIH) is pleased to announce that the plan of arrangement to spin off Toromont's natural gas compression business, Enerflex Ltd., was completed effective today. The spinoff was approved by 99.9% of shareholders voting at Toromont's special meeting on May 16 and on May 25 the Ontario Superior Court of Justice approved the transaction. Toromont has also received satisfactory tax rulings and opinions from the Canada Revenue Agency.

Under the terms of the arrangement, shareholders of Toromont will continue to own their Toromont common shares which will continue to be represented by existing Toromont common share certificates. The distribution record date for certificates representing Enerflex shares will be June 7, 2011, which means that registered shareholders will receive a certificate representing one common share of Enerflex for each Toromont common share held of record at the close of business on that day. Based on standard T + 3 settlement, in order to be a Toromont holder of record at the close of business on June 7, a holder's Toromont common shares must have been purchased before the close of trading on June 2, 2011.

Common shares of Enerflex are expected to start trading on a "when issued" basis on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX:EFX) on June 3, 2011. Toromont shareholders are encouraged to consult their brokers.

For Canadian tax purposes, Toromont shareholders are required to allocate the adjusted cost base of their Toromont common shares to their post-spinoff Toromont common shares and Enerflex common shares, based on their relative fair market value at the effective time of the arrangement. Toromont's estimate of this allocation is:

Post-spinoff Toromont common shares 56.4%

Post-spinoff Enerflex common shares 43.6%

This allocation is not binding on the Canada Revenue Agency or on any particular Toromont shareholder. However, it is recommended that the allocation made by Toromont shareholders for Canadian tax purposes be consistent with that estimated by Toromont.
