Forterra Abandons Share Consolidation

TORONTO, ONTARIO (TSX VENTURE: FTE) announced that it does not expect to proceed with the recently approved share consolidation.

On June 4, 2008, shareholders approved a resolution authorizing the consolidation of Forterra's common shares on up to a 1-for-5 basis. That shareholder resolution gave the board of directors the authority not to proceed with the consolidation or to consolidate the common shares on a basis less than 1-for-5.

The principal purpose of the consolidation was to allow for a financing by Forterra, possibly including warrants or convertible debt. The TSX Venture Exchange will not permit warrants or convertible debt exercisable at less than $0.10 per share. The shares of Forterra were trading below this price at the time the consolidation was announced and the consolidation was intended to increase the share price.

The shares of Forterra have traded above $0.10 since shortly before the recent shareholders meeting. The board of directors has concluded that the consolidation is no longer necessary in order to proceed with a financing. However, the board has reserved the right to proceed with the consolidation, if necessary.
