Calyx Divests Investment in Agrisoma

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - April 14, 2015) - Calyx Bio-Ventures Inc. (TSX VENTURE:CYX) ("Calyx" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that Agrisoma Biosciences Inc. ("Agrisoma") has repurchased from Calyx all of the shares of Agrisoma which were owned by Calyx for C$300,236.50 (the "Transaction"). Calyx's investment in Agrisoma had represented approximately 22.82% of the total number of Agrisoma shares outstanding. The consideration was paid in full upon closing.

As of the end of the 2013, Calyx had written down the carrying value of its investment Agrisoma to $Nil to reflect the uncertainty with respect to its investment in Agrisoma.

In early 2014, following an evaluation by an Independent Committee of Calyx's board of directors, it was determined that Calyx should waive its pre-emptive rights with respect to financing Agrisoma, and in July 2014, Agrisoma commenced a Series A financing of C$8.0 million dollars led by Cycle Capital Management with participation from BDC Venture Capital (the "Series A Financing"). The full completion of the Series A Financing resulted in Calyx's interest in Agrisoma being reduced from approximately 49.9% to approximately 22.82%. If Calyx were to have retained ownership of its shares of Agrisoma and Agrisoma required additional financing in the future, further dilution of Calyx's position would have been expected to occur.

Based upon a review of Calyx's position in Agrisoma, and consultation with legal and financial advisors, the Board determined that the Transaction was in the best interests of the Company.

The Transaction closed on April 14, 2015, and all requisite approvals required to effect closing have been obtained, including final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
