TSX-V: MOB.P

TORONTO, March 10 /CNW/ - GT Canada Capital Corporation ("GT Canada"), a capital pool company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV"), is pleased to announce that it has received approval from the TSXV to close its previously announced acquisition of a medical office building in Hamilton, Ontario, which is to serve as GT Canada's qualifying transaction (the "Qualifying Transaction"). Since November 2009, the TSXV has been reviewing GT Canada's affairs and use of proceeds, as referenced in GT Canada's information circular (in respect of the Qualifying Transaction) dated November 12, 2009. TSXV approval of such matters was a condition for TSXV final acceptance of the Qualifying Transaction. The Qualifying Transaction is scheduled to close on March 12, 2010.

The TSXV's final acceptance follows a review conducted by its Compliance & Disclosure Department on GT Canada's affairs and use of proceeds as a 'capital pool company'.

GT Canada has acknowledged multiple instances of non-compliance in respect of TSXV Policy 2.4 (the "CPC Policy"), including:

    
    -   exceeding the maximum amount that a capital pool company can spend on
        purposes other than evaluating assets or businesses for a proposed
        qualifying transaction and failing to track and monitor its expenses
        to ensure compliance with this requirement,

    -   making non-arm's length payments to its interim Chief Financial
        Officer for consulting services without TSXV approval and in direct
        contravention of the CPC Policy's prohibitions on such payments to
        non-arm's length parties,

    -   failing to classify expenses (in respect of whether they are being
        incurred solely for the purposes of evaluating assets or businesses
        for a proposed qualifying transaction or otherwise) to ensure
        compliance with the CPC Policy, and

    -   making payments (including reimbursing expenses incurred by its CEO
        and CFO) for business purposes other than evaluating assets or
        businesses for a proposed qualifying transaction.
    

As a result of the above, its directors and officers also failed to comply with undertakings which they each provided to TSXV and the Securities Commissions relating to restrictions on the use of proceeds and the expenditure of funds by a capital pool company.

Other than the CPC Policy, GT Canada has also acknowledged non-compliance with TSXV policies, including:

    
    -   non-compliance with the TSXV listing agreement by failing to have two
        signatories signing all cheques,

    -   failing to properly review and document the approval of expense
        accounts, including allowing the CEO to approve, on his own, the
        incurring and reimbursement of his own reasonable business expenses,
        and

    -   failing to implement adequate corporate governance for a CPC and
        internal control procedures that were sufficiently focused on
        ensuring compliance with TSXV policies.
    

It is GT Canada's position that all such deficiencies were inadvertent. After they were brought to the attention of GT Canada's board of directors, the company immediately adopted and implemented new procedures to strengthen its internal controls and ensure improved future compliance with TSXV rules, including:

    
    -   ceasing to make prohibited payments to its interim Chief Financial
        Officer,

    -   implementing a system to improve the timely classification of
        expenses to ensure compliance with the CPC Policy,

    -   enhancing its procedures with respect to the review and approval of
        all expenses (regardless of amount) before they are reimbursed,

    -   requiring the signature of two directors (or the Chief Executive
        Officer and one director) on all cheques, negotiable instruments and
        wire transfer authorizations (regardless of amount), and

    -   prohibiting any individual from signing a cheque or wire transfer
        authorization made payable to the same individual.
    

In response to a requirement from the TSXV to add additional directors with prior TSXV experience as a result of concerns arising from TSXV's review of GT Canada's affairs and use of proceeds, GT Canada formed an ad hoc nominating committee of directors whose mandate was to enhance GT Canada's ability to fully comply with TSXV rules by identifying potential directors. GT Canada is delighted to announce that the following two candidates have agreed to join GT Canada's board of directors effective immediately, subject to the approval by TSXV.
