This News Release is not for Distribution or Dissemination in the United States of America

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / January 31, 2020 / GreenBank Capital Inc. (CSE:GBC)(OTCMKTS:GRNBF)(FRA:2TL) ("GreenBank or the Company") reports that it has obtained OSC approval for the revocation of a Cease Trade Order ("FFCTO") on its stock.

GreenBank was the subject of a FFCTO by the Ontario Securities Commission for failing to file the Company's financial statements, accompanying management's discussion and analysis, and the CEO and CFO certifications for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2018, in a timely manner. This was a consequence of the unexpected passing of the Founder Chairman and CEO, Daniel Wettreich. The management team has since re-built the institutional knowledge lost with the passing of the founder and met all its disclosure requirements.

GreenBank has filed an Undertaking that it will hold an Annual General Meeting within three months of the revocation of the FFCTO.

GreenBank will be filing an application to the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE") to resume trading of its common shares. Over the past year, GreenBank has focused on rebuilding lost institutional knowledge and streamlining its portfolio. The Company's future plans involve renewing its focus on merchant banking by nurturing select existing investments in its current portfolio, and exploring opportunities to make new investments that have the potential to build value for its shareholders.
