June 2, 2016 ‑ Vancouver, British Columbia. Greenbriar Capital Corp. (the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has closed the second and final tranche of the non‑brokered private placement that was announced on February 22, 2016 and April 15, 2016. The Company has issued 400,000 units (the "Units") at a price of $0.50 per Unit for gross proceeds of $200,000. Each Unit is comprised of one common share and one share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to acquire one additional share in the capital of the Company at a price of $0.60 until February 21, 2021.

The common shares comprising the Units and any shares issued upon the exercise of any Warrants are subject to a hold period expiring at midnight on September 30, 2016.

250,000 Units were issued to Heidi Ciachurski, an insider of the Company (the "Related Party"), which transaction constitutes a "related party transaction" under Multilateral Instrument 61‑101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61‑101"). Because the Company's shares trade only on the TSX Venture Exchange, the related party transaction is exempt from the formal valuation requirements of Section 5.4 of MI 61‑101 pursuant to subsection 5.5(b) of MI 61‑101, and exempt from the minority approval requirements of Section 5.6 of MI 61‑101 pursuant to subsection 5.7(1)(b) of MI 61‑101.
