Canada Pacific Enters Into Letter of Intent for Qualifying Transaction

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Jan. 31, 2011) - Canada Pacific Capital Corp. (the "Corporation" or "Canada Pacific") (TSX VENTURE:CPR.P) has entered into a letter of intent (the "Letter of Intent") dated January 20, 2010, pursuant to which it proposes to acquire all of the issued and outstanding securities of China Freeze-Dry Inc., a corporation governed under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (the "Target"), which indirectly owns Linyi Shenhe Foodstuff Co., Ltd., a corporation governed under the laws of the People's Republic of China ("Linyi"). The Corporation is a capital pool company and intends for the acquisition of Linyi through the Target to constitute its Qualifying Transaction (the "Qualifying Transaction") as such term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange").

Terms of Acquisition

The Target is a corporation governed by the laws of the British Virgin Islands, and is the 100% direct owner of Supertown Trading Company Limited (HK), a corporation governed by the laws of Hong Kong ("HKCo"). HKCo is the 100% direct owner of Linyi.

Pursuant to the terms of the Letter of Intent, Canada Pacific agrees to consolidate, prior to completion of its proposed Qualifying Transaction, its shares, broker warrants, and options on a 10:1 basis. Currently, the Corporation has 11,600,000 shares, 800,000 broker warrants, and 1,160,000 options outstanding. Post-consolidation, Canada Pacific will have 1,160,000 common shares, 80,000 broker warrants, and 116,000 options outstanding.

Subject to certain terms and conditions, the Corporation intends to acquire all of the 45,000 issued and outstanding common shares of the Target in consideration for a total of 90,251,562 post-consolidation common shares of the Corporation at a deemed price of $1.50 per share for a total purchase price of $135,377,343 representing five (5) times the average operating cash flow of Linyi as indicated in its audited June 30, 2010, 2009 and 2008 financial statements. Should the Exchange require additional post-consolidation shares to be held by public shareholders than those to be held by Canada Pacific shareholders and investors in the Target Financing (as discussed below), instead of issuing 90,251,562 post-consolidation shares, Canada Pacific may issue a combination of post-consolidation shares and non-voting securities of Canada Pacific convertible to post-consolidation shares to the current target shareholders.

The Target and Linyi will use best efforts to complete a brokered or non-brokered private placement (or a combination of both) financing on a best effort basis, of up to Cdn$30,000,000 by issuing up to 9,972 additional Target shares (the "Target Financing") with an effective price of not less than Cdn$3,008.39 per Target share (the actual price per share settled upon shall be referred to as the "Target Financing Price"). Up to 9,972 Target shares will be exchanged for up to 20,000,000 post-consolidation shares of the Corporation upon completion of the Qualifying Transaction. If any registered brokers/dealers are engaged in the Target Financing to act as agents or finders, the Target expects to issue brokers' or finders' warrants (the "Target Finder Warrants") to purchase 10% of the Target shares sold in the Target Financing at the Target Financing Price exercisable for a period of 24 months.

On closing the Qualifying Transaction (and assuming full subscription of the Target Financing), Canada Pacific will have 111,411,562 post-consolidation common shares outstanding. Current shareholders of Canada Pacific will own 1.04% of the post consolidation shares outstanding, current shareholders of the Target will own 81.01%, and the Target Financing investors will own 17.95%. Post-consolidation, the Corporation will have 80,000 broker warrants and 116,000 options outstanding each exercisable at $1.00 per share, and may issue finders' warrants to the brokers/finders in the Target Financing to purchase up to 2,000,000 post consolidation shares each exercisable at $1.50 per share.
