Active Growth Capital Inc. Announces Settlement of Legal Credit and Resumption of Trading

During the year ending December 31, 2008, Active Growth Capital Inc. (TSX VENTURE:ACK.P) (the "Corporation") incurred $159,567 in legal fees. These fees were paid in 2009 to a law firm in which Mr. Sean Zaboroski, a director and corporate secretary of the Corporation, is a partner.

The $159,567 in legal fees was incurred in connection with the Corporation's proposed Qualifying Transaction with Leaders Energy Holding Co., Limited ("Leaders"). Subsequent to the termination of the proposed transaction with Leaders (as disclosed in the Corporation's News Release dated April 3, 2009), the law firm and the Corporation agreed that the $159,567 would be treated as a credit toward subsequent legal services.

The Corporation and the law firm have now agreed that the law firm will return $78,142.05 of the credit amount to the Corporation. The remaining $81,424.95 will be retained by the law firm and the credit will be removed from the Corporations balance sheet. The $78,142.05 will be returned to the Corporation during the final quarter of its 2009 fiscal year.

The Corporation continues to utilize its resources to identify and evaluate opportunities for the acquisition of assets or business(es) with a view to completing a Qualifying Transaction pursuant to TSX Venture Exchange Policies.

As a result of the termination of the agreement with Leaders, the common shares of the Corporation will be reinstated to trade on September 17.
