NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES. ANY FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS RESTRICTION MAY CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF U.S. SECURITIES LAWS. Triwood Capital Corp. (the "Corporation") (TSX VENTURE:TRD) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a letter of intent dated July 22, 2010 (the "Letter of Intent") with Algae Biosciences Corp. ("ABC"), whereby the Corporation has agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding securities of ABC ("ABC Shares") via the issuance of common shares, or other securities convertible into common shares of the Corporation ("Triwood Shares"), such that ABC will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation (the "Proposed Acquisition"). The Corporation is incorporated under the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) with its registered office in Calgary, Alberta. It is a capital pool company and intends for the Proposed Acquisition to constitute the "Qualifying Transaction" of the Corporation as such term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"). The Corporation is a "reporting issuer" within the meaning of the Securities Act (Alberta), Securities Act (British Columbia), Securities Act (Saskatchewan). ABC is a private corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada with its head office in Clay Springs, Arizona. ABC is engaged in the growth and production of microalgae and macroalgae for the nutraceutical, pharmaceutical and biofuel markets. ABC is not a reporting issuer in any jurisdiction in Canada or the equivalent in the United States. Mr. Robert Thompson is a director of both the Corporation and ABC, and therefore the Qualifying Transaction will be considered to be a Non-Arm's Length Qualifying Transaction, as such term is defined under the policies of the Exchange, and the Qualifying Transaction will be subject to majority of the minority shareholder approval. It is expected that upon completion of the Qualifying Transaction, the Corporation will be classified as a Tier 2 Life Sciences issuer under the policies of the Exchange. The Proposed Acquisition Pursuant to the terms of the Letter of Intent, it is intended that the Corporation will acquire ABC pursuant to a reverse take-over transaction which will be effected by way of an amalgamation, arrangement, share exchange or other similar form of transaction. There are currently 26,818,819 ABC Shares issued and outstanding. ABC also intends to complete a private placement of ABC Shares for gross proceeds of $500,000 (the "Private Placement") prior to the closing of the Proposed Acquisition. The Corporation currently has 3,000,000 Triwood Shares issued and outstanding and has granted options to acquire up to an additional 450,000 Triwood Shares. As consideration for their securities, each ABC shareholder will receive Triwood Shares in exchange for the ABC Shares that they own. The deemed price of both the ABC Shares issued pursuant to the Private Placement and the Triwood Shares issued as consideration for the ABC Shares, have yet to be determined and will be announced in a subsequent news release. The Triwood Shares to be issued to certain principals of ABC in connection with the Proposed Acquisition may be subject to the escrow requirements of the Exchange, if applicable. Upon completion of the Proposed Acquisition and assuming completion of the Brokered Financing (as defined below), the Corporation will continue to conduct the business of ABC as currently carried on. Insiders and Board of Directors of the Resulting Issuer In connection with the completion of the Proposed Acquisition, it is intended that Kevin Blanchette will resign as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation. Upon the resignation of Mr. Blanchette, Andrew Ayers, currently Chief Executive Officer of ABC, will be appointed as Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation. The proposed Chief Financial Officer and Secretary of the Corporation have not yet been selected.

The net proceeds of the Brokered Financing will be used by the Corporation to finance and increase the production capacity of ABC. Sponsorship of Qualifying Transaction Sponsorship of a Qualifying Transaction of a capital pool company is required by the Exchange unless an exemption from this requirement can be obtained in accordance with the policies of the Exchange.
