Vancouver, July 10, 2017 - Elysee Development Corp. (TSXV: ELC) is pleased to announce that, as a result of the company's strong financial performance during the first six months of fiscal 2017, the board of directors has decided to declare a special dividend of one cent ($0.01) per share on the company's common shares.

At the Annual General Meeting of the Company held in Vancouver on July 7, 2017 the shareholders re-elected Guido Cloetens, Stuart Rogers and Martin Burian as Directors and elected Gaston J.
