Urban Select Announces New Corporate Updates


VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - March 18, 2015) - Urban Select Capital Corporation (TSX VENTURE:CH) (the "Company" or "Urban Select") is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement to invest into Cicino Corporation ("Cicino") for a 25% equity position in the entity in conjunction with a new capital raise led by an unaffiliated third party.

Cicino Boutique aims to be Vancouver's leading multi brand luxury fashion boutique servicing the demanding high fashion needs of the Vancouver area's growing population of high net and ultra high net worth international clients. Cicino Boutique is expected to launch in the late Summer of 2015 and will compose of two distinct entities, Cicino Boutique and Cicino Showroom providing a high level of advisory, fashion and consumer services to its clientele.

Urban Select's board of directors decided to move forward with this investment after extensive market research and development activities in the luxury and high fashion business. Recently the Canadian government has actively lobbied to attract more foreign immigration into Canada in 2015 and coupled with the fact that lower commodities prices are expected to inject additional spending power into the economy in the coming year, Urban Select's board of directors strongly believed that this would have a positive impact on the consumer discretionary sector in the Vancouver area.

Urban Select will continue to provide merger and advisory services with a focus on investment growth capital in public and private companies in the media and entertainment and consumer retail services sectors.
