Canada Pacific Capital Corp. Announces Termination of the Qualifying Transaction


TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Feb. 16, 2012) - Canada Pacific Capital Corp. (the "Corporation" or "Canada Pacific") (TSX VENTURE:CPR.P) announces that the share purchase and exchange agreement dated May 13, 2011 (the "Share Agreement"), has been terminated. Pursuant to the Share Agreement it was proposed that the Corporation acquire all of the issued and outstanding securities of China Freeze-Dry Inc., a corporation governed under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (the "Target"), which indirectly owns Linyi Shenhe Foodstuff Co., Ltd., a corporation governed under the laws of the People's Republic of China ("Linyi"). The Corporation is a capital pool company and intended for the acquisition of Linyi through the Target to constitute its Qualifying Transaction (the "Qualifying Transaction") as such term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"). On May 13, 2011 a preliminary prospectus was filed by the Corporation on SEDAR, which has now been withdrawn.

Pursuant to the Share Agreement, the Target and Linyi were meant to provide to the Corporation all documents, instruments, materials, and do all such acts and things as may be reasonably required by the Corporation to seek the regulatory approvals, including providing all relevant information concerning it and its business, property, operations and financial statements for inclusion in the prospectus.

The Corporation is prepared to proceed with the Qualifying Transaction, however, at this time, and despite several requests from the Corporation, neither the Target nor Linyi have provided the Corporation with their 2011 audited financial statements and other relevant audited documents of the Target and Linyi, thus rendering them in breach of the Share Agreement.

The Corporation contends that due to this breach the Target and Linyi have effectively terminated the Share Agreement and abandoned the Qualifying Transaction. The Corporation further contends the Target and Linyi are liable to the Corporation for costs associated with the failed Qualifying Transaction and the Corporation will pursue avenues to recover said costs.

The Corporation is currently seeking alternative potential Qualifying Transactions.
