GreenStar Announces Delay in Filing Annual Financial Statements, Director Resignation and Q1 2014 Dividend Payment

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - April 28, 2014) - GreenStar Agricultural Corporation (TSX VENTURE:GRE) (the "Company" or "GreenStar"), a processor of agricultural products such as canned fruits and vegetables for distribution to international and domestic markets, announced today that the filing of its annual financial statements, management's discussion and analysis and the related officer certifications for the financial year ended December 31, 2013 (collectively, the "Annual Filings") will be delayed beyond the filing deadline of April 30, 2014. The Company's auditors have advised that they will not be able to complete all their audit procedures and render an audit opinion by the filing deadline.

As a result of this delay, the Company intends to make an application to the Ontario Securities Commission and other relevant securities regulatory authorities under applicable securities legislation for the issuance of a management and insider cease trade order ("MCTO") in connection with the anticipated filing delay. If an MCTO is granted, it will prohibit the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and likely the directors and other insiders of the Company, from trading in securities of the Company for so long as the Annual Filings have not been completed. The issuance of an MCTO would generally not affect the ability of persons who are not, or who have not been, directors, officers or other insiders of the Company to trade in the Company's securities.

The Company also announced Conor Bill's resignation from the Board, due to his increased work load and competing pressures on his time. The Board wishes to thank Mr. Bill for his valuable contribution to the Company during his tenure as a director and wishes him well in his future endeavours. Mr. Bob Guo, a director of the Company, will temporality replace Mr. Bill as an interim member of the Company's audit committee.

The Company also announced that its quarterly dividend of $0.015/share payable in respect of the first quarter of 2014 will be paid as previously disclosed in the news releases dated March 4 and 5, 2014 and will be paid to all eligible shareholders as scheduled, on April 30, 2014.
