TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Aug. 8, 2012) - Bellair Ventures Inc. ("Bellair") (TSX VENTURE:BVI) announces that it has entered into a letter of intent (the "Letter of Intent") dated August 8, 2012 with The Edward J. Winter Family Trust (the "Vendor"), Urban Mechanical Contracting Ltd. ("Urban Mechanical"), Edward J. Winter and Marco Winter. Pursuant to the Letter of Intent, Bellair intends to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Urban Mechanical for a purchase price of $10,000,000 less any long term debt of Urban Mechanical outstanding at closing of the transaction (the "Purchase Price"). In the Letter of Intent, the parties have agreed to, among other things, a 90 day exclusivity period within which to negotiate and conclude a definitive agreement.

"Bellair believes that this horizontal integration strategy meets the increasing demand of the Industrial Commercial Institutional ("ICI") marketplace by combining Clean Energy Developments Corp. ("CleanEnergy"), a national leader of sustainable design build energy solutions, with Urban Mechanical, a company with a 45 year history of complete mechanical installations. This combination will allow the delivery of end-to-end sustainable solutions for asset owners, managers and construction leaders" stated Emlyn J. David, CEO of Bellair. "In addition, a number of synergies exist between CleanEnergy and Urban Mechanical that will enable the delivery of more cost effective and risk mitigated solutions to customers for inside and outside thermal energy and mechanical services."

Proposed Payment of Purchase Price

The Letter of Intent contemplates that, at closing of the transaction agreed to in the definitive agreement, Bellair would satisfy the Purchase Price by a combination of a payment of $500,000 in cash, the assignment to the Vendor of a $500,000 term loan to be provided by Bellair to Urban Mechanical upon signing of the definitive agreement in respect of the transaction, and the issuance of up to $9,000,000 worth of common shares of Bellair at an issue price of $0.55 per share, representing a discount of approximately 15% off the closing price on Tuesday, August 7, 2012 of $0.65 per share. The number of Bellair common shares to be issued on closing will be reduced by the amount of any long term debt of Urban Mechanical outstanding on closing. Further, up to $1,000,000 of the common shares of Bellair to be issued in satisfaction of the Purchase Price will not be issued at closing but will be issued on the date that is one year following the closing of the transaction to ensure the Vendor's performance of certain obligations under the definitive agreement, and shall be subject to adjustment in certain events.

Closing of the proposed transaction will be subject to, among other things, the signing of a definitive agreement, the satisfactory completion of Bellair's ongoing due diligence investigations, the appointment of Edward J. Winter as a director of Bellair, Edward J. Winter entering into an employment agreement with Urban Mechanical on terms acceptable to Bellair and Edward J. Winter pursuant to which Edward J.
