Commercial Solutions Enters into Definitive Agreement for Acquisition by Motion Industries (Canada), a subsidiary of Genuine Parts Company

Edmonton, Alberta, December 2, 2013 - COMMERCIAL SOLUTIONS INC. ("Commercial" or "Company") (TSX: CSA) today announced that it has entered into an arrangement agreement (the "Arrangement Agreement") with Motion Industries (Canada), Inc. ("Motion Canada"), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Motion Industries, Inc. ("Motion Industries") and Genuine Parts Company, pursuant to which Motion Canada, subject to certain conditions, agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares (the "Common Shares") of the Company. The transaction (the "Transaction") will be implemented by way of a statutory plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) (the "Arrangement"). Commercial's shareholders will receive CAD$1.07 in cash per common share upon completion of the Transaction.

The CAD$1.07 per Common Share to be received by Commercial's shareholders represents a 44.6% premium over the closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX on November 29, 2013, the last trading day prior to the announcement of the Transaction.

The board of directors of the Company (the "Commercial Board") unanimously approved the Transaction and unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of it. Deloitte LLP, an independent financial advisor to the Company, has provided the Commercial Board with its opinion to the effect that the consideration to be received by Commercial's shareholders pursuant to the Transaction is fair from a financial point of view. All members of the Commercial Board and Commercial's senior management, who collectively own approximately 15.8% of the Common Shares, have separately entered into support and voting agreements (the "Support Agreements") with Motion Canada pursuant to which each have agreed to vote their common shares in favour of the Arrangement. The Support Agreements will terminate in the event the Arrangement Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms.

"This transaction brings our shareholders significant value and is an opportunity for our organization to integrate with a North American leader to provide a strong platform for enhanced client service and expanded opportunities for our employees," said Mr. Jim Barker, Commercial's President and Chief Executive Officer.

Mr. Bill Stevens, Chairman and CEO of Motion Industries, added, "We are excited by the opportunity to partner with the Commercial team. They represent a talented group and quality organization, and we look forward to their future contributions. The acquisition of Commercial better positions Motion Industries for continued growth in the Canadian marketplace."

Completion of the proposed transaction is subject to customary closing conditions including, but not limited to, the approval of at least 66 2/3% of the votes cast in person or by proxy at a special meeting of Commercial's shareholders, as well as regulatory and court approval. The special meeting of the Company's shareholders will be held on or prior to January 28, 2014.

A proxy circular in connection with the Transaction will be prepared and mailed to Commercial's shareholders over the coming weeks providing Shareholders with important information about the Transaction. The proxy circular and the Arrangement Agreement will be available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Subject to satisfaction or waiver of conditions precedent to closing, including receipt of required regulatory approvals, closing is expected to occur shortly following the special meeting of the Company's shareholders.

In addition, Deloitte LLP is acting as an independent financial advisor to the Company in connection with the fairness opinion procured by the Commercial Board.
