Pacgen Life Science Corporation ("Pacgen" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:PBS)

Under the terms of the Agreement, Pacgen will sublicense to GBC its worldwide
exclusive right to develop and commercialize prescription and non-prescription
pharmaceutical products containing PAC-113 or one or more related peptides for
the treatment of any oral condition (excluding transitional skin-mucous membrane
areas), as well as vaginal, dermatological and ophthalmic conditions. In
exchange, GBC will pay Pacgen both an upfront payment and minimum annual royalty
payments. GBC will also pay Pacgen milestone payments and royalty payments
linked to marketing approvals and product sales, respectively. Completion of the

Forward looking Statements

Certain statements included in this press release may be considered
forward-looking. Statements relating to, among other things, anticipated
financial performance, business prospects, strategies, regulatory developments,
market acceptance and future commitments constitute forward-looking statements.
All forward-looking statements are based on Pacgen's current beliefs and
expectations as well as assumptions relating to the successful completion of its
clinical trials and pre-clinical studies, the time and process required to
obtain regulatory approval for commercialization of its product, the ability of
Pacgen to raise additional capital in future on favourable terms, the impact of
competitive products and pricing in the market, new product development, and the
successful and timely completion of corporate collaborations or licensing
arrangements for its research programs. Such statements involve known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results,
level of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from
those implied by such statements, and therefore these statements should not be
read as guarantees of future performance or results. Such factors include, among
others, our stage of development, lack of product revenues, additional capital
requirements, risk associated with completion of clinical trials and obtaining
regulatory approval, dependence on collaborative partners, and our ability to
protect our intellectual property. 


Wherever possible, words such as "anticipate", "believe", "expect", "may",
"could", "will", "potential", "intend", "estimate", "should", "plan", "predict",
"project" or the negative or other variations of such expressions reflect
Pacgen's current beliefs and assumptions and are based on the information
currently available to Pacgen. Certain risks and uncertainties, including those
risk factors identified by Pacgen in its annual management's discussion and
analysis dated August 5, 2013, may cause our actual results, level of activity,
performance or achievements to differ materially from those implied by forward
looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements, which are made only as of the date of this press
release. Pacgen disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise, except as required by law. For all forward-looking
statements, Pacgen claims the safe harbour for forward-looking statements within
the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
