Greenscape Appoints Mr. Yale Loh, MBA, CFA to Board of Directors

Mr. Loh is currently Treasurer, BC Hydro & Power Authority ("BC Hydro") which is the third largest electric utility in Canada. As Treasurer, he has been responsible for leading a team of professionals managing key financial risks associated with interest rate, foreign exchange, and pension investment risk along with catastrophic insurance and corporate credit risk programs. He has overseen all debt and financial derivative transactions including the modeling and documentation of transactions in accordance with accounting requirements. Mr. Loh also represented the utility in successful negotiations with First Nations bands leading to land claim settlements and was part of the negotiating team that led to BC Hydro's acquisition of a third interest in the Waneta Dam from Teck Resources.
Prior to his appointment as Treasurer, BC Hydro in 2006, Mr. Loh held other roles at the utility including Assistant Treasurer, Manager of Cash & Liability Management and Manager, Structured Finance.

Mr. Loh also formerly held the positions of Senior Manager of Treasury Management at Citizens Bank of Canada; Trader, Spot Foreign Exchange at JP Morgan in New York, United States; and Trader, Foreign Exchange and Money Market at the Bank of Nova Scotia in Vancouver, Canada.

Mr. Loh is a Chartered Financial Analyst and has a Masters of Business Administration degree in Finance from the J.L. Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois. Mr. Loh has completed both the Canadian Securities Course and the Canadian Options Course with honours. He is the Chair of the Board of Directors of the Greater Vancouver Big Brothers Foundation and a member of the Board of Directors of the Association of Financial Professionals of Canada. Mr. Loh has also been a guest lecturer at the University of British Columbia Sauder School of Business.

Bryan Slusarchuk, CEO, states, "The addition of Mr. Loh to the Greenscape board of directors is both a privilege for us to announce and a testament to the company's compelling business model. Greenscape's recently completed 4200 stall parking facility servicing the Denver International Airport is the first parking operation of its kind. A major component of what makes it unique is the integration of multiple features that are targeted to significantly enhance profitability through energy savings. Mr. Loh's experience as a CFA and experience in an industry so focused on energy efficiency will be a major asset as we build out on our corporate strategy using Denver as a model."

Greenscape recently completed the construction of a large green parking facility (Canopy Airport Parking) that services the Denver International Airport. The facility uses wind and solar energy, geothermal heating and cooling, LED lighting and advanced mechanical, insulation and heat recovery systems to dramatically lower energy costs. A recently released report noted that Greenscape's Denver parking facility is projected to achieve 70% lower energy costs versus baseline facility models (see Greenscape News Release dated November 30th, 2010). The Denver project will be used as a model for Greenscape as the company moves to develop multiple such green parking facilities throughout North America through new construction and the purchase and retrofit of inefficient existing parking facilities.
