KELOWNA, BC, April 22, 2013 /CNW/ - TrinCan Capital Corp. ("TrinCan" or the "Corporation") (TRN:TSX-V) is pleased to announce that it will hold its annual and special meeting on Friday, May 17, 2013 (the "Meeting") at its head office in Kelowna, British Columbia.  The Information Circular - Proxy Statement for the Meeting was mailed today to shareholders of record on April 17, 2013.  In addition to the regular matters considered at annual meetings, TrinCan will put before shareholders a proposed consolidation of its shares on a two for one basis.  The consolidation is subject to approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and the approval of shareholders of the Corporation by special resolution; thus requiring approval of 66 2/3% of those voting at the Meeting.  The Corporation currently has issued and outstanding 17,938,000 common shares and, if the consolidation is approved and carried out, the Corporation will have approximately 8,969,000 common shares issued and outstanding.  The Corporation will not be changing its name in conjunction with the consolidation.

Management and the board of directors of the Corporation believe it appropriate in the current circumstances of the Corporation to effect the consolidation to provide a more effective platform to move the Corporation forward and build shareholder value.  There can be no assurance that the consolidation of the outstanding capital will increase the market price per common share or generate increased investor interest in the Corporation.
