Quadrise, the emerging supplier of MSAR®, a low-cost alternative to fuel oil in the shipping, refining and power generation markets, is pleased to announce that the Royalty Agreement signed by Quadrise International Limited ("QIL") and A.P. Moller - Maersk ("Maersk") on 11 February 2011 has been extended.

The revised Royalty Agreement executed on 21 February 2014 is now valid for the period up until 31 December 2022, an extension of 3 years to the original 31 December 2019 expiry date.

We feel confident that success will bring the expected rewards for both partners."
