(CSE:GBC)(OTC PINK:GRNBF)(FRA:2TL) ("GreenBank" or "the Company") is very pleased to announce that its portfolio company CodiKoat has beaten a very strong field to win a nationwide competition in the United Kingdom designed to find the best solutions to provide clean air in residential environments.

During the process CodiKoat identified one of the UK's largest 250 public companies as the best company with which to commercialise the CodiKoat clean air technology. Discussions between the two companies have commenced with a view to finalising a detailed MOU.
