Benton Capital Amends and Finalizes Terms of Private Placement Offering With Jacob Securities

Benton Capital Corp. (TSXV: BTC) ("Benton" or the "Company") is pleased to
provide a further update to its June 11, 2014 news release wherein it announced
that it had signed an engagement agreement with Jacob Securities Inc. ("JSI") to
arrange, on a best efforts basis, a financing of up to $5 million to be
completed on or before August 15, 2014 (the "Financing") related to the
Company's binding letter of intent ("LOI") to acquire a 100% interest in Folium
Life Science Inc. ("Folium"), a private medical marijuana company, with its head
office located in Abbotsford, British Columbia (the "Transaction"). 


The Financing shall be completed at a minimum price of $0.25 per unit subsequent
to a 2:1 consolidation of Benton's shares (the "Consolidation"), each unit
consisting of one common share and one half of a share purchase warrant
exercisable at $0.50 for 24 months. In addition, the terms were amended to
include a clause that increases the unit to include an additional one half of a
share purchase warrant if the Ready to Build approval is not received from
Health Canada by Folium by August 31, 2014. Warrant exercise price and expiry
terms remain unchanged. The proceeds from the financing will be held in trust
until the closing of the Transaction. The offering terms were also amended to
reflect that if the conditions precedent to closing the Transaction are not met
by November 15, 2014, then the gross proceeds of the Financing held in escrow,
together with any accrued interest, will be returned to the original
subscribers.


As contemplated in the LOI, Benton has now entered into a formal share exchange
agreement to give effect to the Transaction. Pursuant to the terms of the share
exchange agreement which supersedes the LOI (the "Share Exchange Agreement"),
Benton will acquire all of the shares of Folium from the Folium shareholders in
exchange for 13.5 million common shares of Benton post Consolidation resulting
in Folium becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Benton. Benton anticipates that
it will commence trading on the CSE in mid-July 2014.


The closing of the Transaction is subject to obtaining all applicable regulatory
and shareholder approvals.
