THIS PRESS RELEASE, REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE CANADIAN LAWS, IS NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWS SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES.

Calyx Bio-Ventures Inc. (TSX VENTURE:CYX) ("Calyx" or the "Company") announce a proposed non-brokered private placement of up to 35,000,000 units at a price of $0.06 per unit (each a "Unit") for cash proceeds of up to $2,100,000 (the "Private Placement").

Each Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one additional common share of the Company at a price of $0.09 for a period of twenty four months from the closing of the Private Placement, subject to certain acceleration provisions in the event that the shares of the company trade at 15 cents or higher for 10 consecutive trading days. The Company expects that it will pay an 8% cash finders' fee and finders' warrants equal to 8% of the Units placed, and having the same terms as the Warrants, on all or a portion of the Private Placement.

The funds raised from the issuance of the Units will be for general working capital and potential further investment into Agrisoma or other businesses in the tech, agriculture and biotech sectors including the MMPR (Marijuana for Medical Purposes Regulations) and the agri-pharmaceutical space.

Further to the updates issued on March 24 and 26, 2014, Calyx continues to consider financing solutions for Agrisoma that work for all of Agrisoma's stakeholders.
