Monday 1 June 2009: Environmental Clean Technologies Limited (ASX:ESI) advises that negotiations on the formal agreements to acquire the intellectual property rights in the Coldry technology ( Coldry Technology ) from the unitholders of the Maddingly Coldry Unit Trust ( Coldry Trust ) are continuing, but have not been concluded. The substance of the terms of the acquisition remain the same as disclosed in the notice for ESI’s general meeting on 4 March 2009 ( General Meeting ).
