Life Tech Corporation (the "Company") announces that it has entered
into an agreement with a syndicate of underwriter (collectively,
the "Underwriters"), which have agreed to purchase, on a bought
deal basis, 4,000,000 units (the "Units") of the Company at a price
of C$11.00 per Unit, for aggregate
gross proceeds of C$44,000,000. Each
unit will consist of one common share and one half of one common
share purchase warrant (each, a "Warrant"). Each whole Warrant will
entitle the holder thereof to acquire one common share of the

months following the date of closing of the offering. The
Underwriters will also have the option (the "Over-Allotment
Option"), exercisable in whole or in part at any time up to 30 days
after the closing of the offering, to purchase up to an additional
15% of the offering (600,000 Units) solely to cover
over-allotments, if any, and for market stabilization purposes. The
Underwriters can elect to exercise the Over-Allotment Option for
Units only or Warrants only or any combination thereof up to a
maximum of 600,000 common shares and 300,000 Warrants. In the event
that the option is exercised in its entirety for Units, the
aggregate gross proceeds of the offering will be C$50,600,000.
The Company plans to use the net proceeds from the
offering to advance its ANOCTM joint venture, including
marketing and administration, for working capital and other general
corporate purposes.

to the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals and the other
conditions listed herein.
