Trius Completes Change of Business

Trius Completes Change of Business

FREDERICTON, New Brunswick, March 27, 2018 -- Trius Investments Inc. (“Trius” or the “Company”) (TSXV:TRU) is pleased

to announce that, subject to final approval by TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”), it has completed its change of business

(the “COB”) from an Industrial issuer to an Investment issuer.

“This represents a major milestone for Trius, and the accomplishment of a key objective in our strategic update provided in

September 2017,” stated Joel Freudman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Trius. “While it took significantly longer than

anticipated, completing the COB allows us to focus efforts on our asset sales while starting to evaluate new investments and

business opportunities.”

Mr. Freudman continued, “I also want to sincerely thank our shareholders for their patience and support throughout this

challenging process.”

The COB is described in the Company’s filing statement dated March 22, 2018, which has been filed to the Company’s

SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com. The Company has adopted an investment policy dated effective January 1, 2017 to govern

its investment activities, a copy of which is included in the filing statement. Trius’ common shares will continue to trade on the

TSXV, and there have been no changes to the Company’s name, ticker symbol, or CUSIP number.

The Company received shareholder approval of the COB on March 26, 2018, by written consent of the holders of a majority of

the Company’s outstanding common shares, excluding common shares beneficially owned by non-arm’s length parties to the

COB.

Final approval of the COB is conditional upon, among other things, filing customary post-closing materials with the TSXV.

Additionally, the TSXV has notified Trius that Trius has until June 18, 2018 to broaden its public distribution in order to satisfy

TSXV Tier 2 continued listing requirements, or in the alternative (or failing which) the Company may transfer its listing to the

NEX.
