Therapure Biopharma Inc. Postpones Initial Public Offering

/NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR THROUGH US NEWSWIRE SERVICES/

MISSISSAUGA, ON, Feb. 4, 2016 /CNW/ - Therapure Biopharma Inc. ("Therapure") today announced that its proposed initial public offering is being postponed due to current conditions in capital markets. While the business is performing above expectations and investor feedback about the quality of management and the company was very positive, the company makes this decision in light of the current market environment, in which no IPOs were concluded in the U.S. or Canada in January.

The Catalyst Capital Group Inc. ("Catalyst") continues its strong support for Therapure as a core investment in its portfolio. Catalyst believes that the positive exposure investors have received to Therapure during this process will position the company for success in considering future options as the company executes on its growth strategy.

"We believe that Therapure is the type of company Canadian public investors would want to add to their portfolios, and we will continue to work with Catalyst and Therapure's management to evaluate capital market conditions," said Steve Ottaway, Managing Director of Investment Banking at GMP Securities L.P.
