Maestro Capital Corporation ("Maestro" or the "Corporation") (TSX VENTURE:MCP.P), a Capital Pool Company ("CPC"), is pleased to announce that it has entered into a letter of intent dated August 24, 2015 pursuant to which it intends to acquire Westbridge Structured Mortgage Corp. ("Westbridge"), a private company based in Ottawa, Ontario (the "Proposed Transaction"). Westbridge is a federally-incorporated business that operates a mortgage fund organized to originate, hold, securitize and trade commercial and single family residential loans in major and secondary markets across Canada.

In conjunction with the Proposed Transaction, Maestro intends to (i) acquire all of the issued and outstanding securities of Westbridge by way of a securities exchange or other transaction that will have the same effect, in exchange for common shares of Maestro for a total price of approximately $1,250,000 in the aggregate; and (ii) complete a private placement of not less than C$10,000,000 (the "Private Placement").

Completion of the Proposed Transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including but not limited to, completion of satisfactory due diligence, completion of the Private Placement, execution of a definitive agreement, receipt of all applicable consents to and approvals of the Proposed Transaction including approval of the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV"), approval of the respective boards of the directors of Maestro and Westbridge, and any applicable shareholder approvals necessary to complete the Proposed Transaction. There can be no assurance that the Proposed Transaction will be completed as proposed or at all.

The Proposed Transaction is expected to constitute Maestro's Qualifying Transaction as defined in Policy 2.4 of the TSXV Corporate Finance Manual and is subject to compliance with all necessary regulatory approvals and certain other terms and conditions. A comprehensive press release with further particulars relating to the Proposed Transaction will follow in accordance with the policies of the TSXV.

The common shares of Maestro are halted and will remain halted pending the issuance of a comprehensive news release of the details of the Proposed Transaction and the submission of certain documents to the TSXV.
