Cluny Capital Corp. ("Cluny" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:CLN.P) announced today that it has entered into a letter of intent dated September 30, 2014 with Birchtree Energy Corp. ("Birchtree"), a corporation incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the "OBCA"), pursuant to which Cluny and Birchtree intend to complete a business combination (the "Proposed Transaction") currently anticipated to be by way of a "three-cornered" amalgamation under the amalgamation provisions of the OBCA. The Proposed Transaction, if completed, will constitute Cluny's "Qualifying Transaction" under Policy 2.4 - Capital Pool Companies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSX-V"). The Proposed Transaction will be an arm's length transaction.

Birchtree is an Ontario based company that specializes in distribution of wood pellets worldwide.

Birchtree's growth strategy is based on organic growth and acquisitions to capture Asian markets where wood pellets are in high demand.

As part of the Proposed Transaction, Birchtree will complete two concurrent financings for aggregate gross proceeds of a minimum of $1,000,000 and a maximum of $1,500,000 (the "Private Placements"). The full terms of the Private Placements will be determined in the context of the market. Following the completion of the Proposed Transaction, the shareholders of Birchtree (including investors under the Private Placements) will hold a significant majority of the outstanding common shares of the Company (or resulting issuer).

A comprehensive press release with further particulars relating to the Proposed Transaction will follow in accordance with the policies of the TSXV.

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 Placements; execution of a definitive agreement in respect of the Proposed Transaction; receipt of requisite regulatory approvals; acceptance of the Proposed Transaction by the TSX-V; receipt of all requisite approvals from the shareholders of each of Cluny and Birchtree for the Proposed Transaction and ancillary matters relating thereto; and the completion of all other actions necessary to consummate the Proposed Transaction. There can be no assurance that the Proposed Transaction will be completed as proposed or at all.
