The Secured Debentures are payable by Cynapsus on December 30, 2011.

This release does not constitute an offer for sale of securities in the United States.

The Corporation will use proceeds from the Secured Debenture for continuing working capital purposes.

The closing of the Financing is subject to regulatory approval from the TSX Venture Exchange Inc.

Suspension of Brokered Private Placement

Further to its press releases dated April 7, May 7 and June 2, 2010, the Corporation has decided to cancel the previously announced $2.5 million brokered private placement of common shares and warrants due to market conditions.

About Cynapsus Therapeutics

Cynapsus is a specialty clinical development pharmaceutical company targeting diseases of the brain. Cynapsus has a lower risk Parkinson’s drug candidate (“APL-130277”), which is a reformulation of an approved drug. APL-130277 is designed to address a much larger moderate to severe patient population, which represents close to 50% of Parkinson’s patients. Cynapsus also has a proprietary formulation technology for cannabinoid drug candidates, which may be used to treat neuropathic pain associated with multiple sclerosis and cancer, as well as for nausea/vomiting and appetite stimulation.

Cynapsus’ strategy is to grow its portfolio of drug candidates through in-licensing and acquisitions, and to advance projects to Phase 2 proof-of-concept clinical studies. Once the drug candidates are sufficiently derisked, Cynapsus intends to out-license the programs to the appropriate pharmaceutical marketing partners for a combination of upfront, milestone, and royalty payments.
