VANCOUVER, BRITISH
COLUMBIA, January 9, 2014- First Growth Holdings Ltd. ("First Growth" or the
"Company") (TSX-V: FGH), is pleased to announce that Randy Barber has
joined the Company's Advisory Board. The Advisory Board will serve
to provide strategic guidance and insight to assist the Company and
its wholly-owned subsidiary WineOnline Marketing Company Ltd.
("WineOnline").
"2014 marks an
important phase of growth for the Company and
building a world class team is critical to our success. When an
opportunity comes along to work with someone like Randy Barber you
jump at it; we are delighted Mr. Barber has accepted an advisory
role with First Growth," stated Paul Guedes, President of First
Growth. "Mr. Barber brings a world of experience to the table with
a distinguished career as a senior executive in globally recognized
organizations. Most notably was his appointment as Chair of the
Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (the "AGCO"), a position he
held for over 4 years of his 8.5 year term and where he worked
closely with his counterparts at the Liquor Control Board of
Ontario (the "LCBO"). Ontario has the
largest market for WineOnline in Canada and working with the LCBO
will be important as we grow the business and Mr. Barber's insights
will be welcomed."
Mr. Barber most
recently was the Chairman of the Employment Insurance Board of
Referees as well as the Vice President of Government Regulations
and Relations of the Ontario Entertainment Technologies where he
was responsible for responding to various gaming initiatives of the

Previously, Mr. Barber was Vice Chair and then Chair of the AGCO
from 1997 to March 2005, appointed by the province as the regulator
of liquor licensing and all forms of gaming in the province of
Ontario.
Mr. Barber was a Ward
Councilor for the Town of Markham from 1994 to 2000. He has spent a
large portion of his life volunteering his experience back to the
communities via various appointed community positions.
