PRIVATE PLACEMENT AND NEW $200,000 NON-BROKERED PRIVATE PLACEMENT OF COMMON
SHARES AND WARRANTS

/NOT FOR DISSEMINATION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/

VAUGHAN, ON, Sept. 24 /CNW/ - Genesis Worldwide Inc. ("Genesis" or the "Corporation"), (TSX: GWI), a leading provider of 'green' structural building products and technology in the light steel structural products industry, is pleased to announce that it has engaged Canaccord Genuity Corp. (the "Agent") to act as its exclusive agent on a commercially reasonable efforts basis, in connection with a proposed brokered private placement of up to 9,642,857 units ("Units") to arm's-length parties, and a non-brokered private placement of up to 2,857,143 Units to Codding Enterprises L.P. ("Codding") (collectively, the "Private Placement"), at a price of $0.07 per Unit to raise gross proceeds of up to $875,000.  Codding currently beneficially owns 29.9% of the outstanding common shares of the Corporation.  Each Unit will consist of one common share (a "Common Share") of the Corporation and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant (a "Warrant") of the Corporation.  Each Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.12 for a period of 24 months following the closing of the Private Placement.  The Company has also agreed to grant the Agent an over-allotment option (the "Over-Allotment Option") to solicit the sale of up to 4,642,857 additional Units to arm's-length parties on the same terms to raise additional gross proceeds of up to $325,000.  The Over-Allotment Option will be exercisable by the Agent at any time in whole or in part up to 48 hours prior to the closing of the Private Placement.  The net proceeds from the Private Placement will be used by the Corporation for working capital purposes.  The Common Shares and Warrants comprising the Units and the Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants will be subject to a hold period of four (4) months from the closing of the Private Placement.

On the closing of the Private Placement, the Agent will i) be paid a cash commission equal to 7% of the gross proceeds from the brokered private placement (a cash commission will not be paid on the gross proceeds from the non-brokered private placement); ii) be issued Warrants (the "Agent's Warrants") to acquire a number of Common Shares equal to 10% of the Units sold under the brokered private placement. The Agent's Warrants will entitle the Agent to acquire one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.07 for a period of 24 months following the closing of the Private Placement; and iii) be issued as a corporate finance fee 550,000 Units ("Agent's Units"). Each Agent's Unit will consist of one Common Share of the Corporation and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant of the Corporation.  Each Warrant will entitle the Agent to acquire one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.12 for a period of 24 months following the closing of the Private Placement. The number of Agent's Units will be increased pro-rata with the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option or any increase to the size of the Private Placement.  If the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full, the corporate finance fee will be increased to 977,778 Units.

The Private Placement is subject to the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") and, since the Private Placement will provide for the issuance of greater than 25% of the currently outstanding Common Shares, the rules of the TSX require that the Corporation obtain approval of the Private Placement from the holders of a majority of the Common Shares.  The rules of the TSX provide that such approval may be obtained in writing from shareholders holding a majority of the outstanding Common Shares without the requirement to convene a shareholders' meeting for such purposes, and the Corporation intends to obtain shareholder approval in connection with the Private Placement in such a manner.

Assuming the exercise in full of the Over-Allotment Option, the exercise in full of the Warrants, the exercise in full of the Agent's Warrants, the issuance of the Agent's Units, and the exercise in full of the Warrants comprising part of the Agent's Units, 28,609,524 Common Shares will be issued pursuant to the Private Placement, representing in aggregate approximately 50.7% of the 56,462,351 currently issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Corporation. 

Assuming the Private Placement is fully subscribed, including the exercise in full of the Over-Allotment Option, following the completion of the Private Placement, there will be 74,582,986 Common Shares of the Corporation issued and outstanding. Assuming the Private Placement is fully subscribed, and assuming the exercise in full of the Over-Allotment Option, the exercise in full of the Warrants, the exercise in full of the Agent's Warrants, the issuance of the Agent's Units, and the exercise in full of the Warrants comprising part of the Agent's Units, there will be 85,071,875 Common Shares of the Corporation issued and outstanding.

Due to the fact that Codding is anticipated to subscribe for Units pursuant to the Private Placement, the Private Placement will be a "related party transaction" for the purposes of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Corporation anticipates it will rely on the exemptions from the valuation and minority approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in paragraph (a) of Section 5.5 and paragraph (a) of Section 5.7, respectively, of MI 61-101, as neither the fair market value of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the portion of the Private Placement anticipated to be subscribed for by Codding will exceed 25% of the Corporation's market capitalization.

The closing of the Private Placement is anticipated to occur on or as soon as possible after October 4, 2010 as the Corporation requires the working capital that will be provided by the proceeds of the Private Placement.
