Terra Firma Capital Corporation Completes Private Placement of 7.0% Convertible Unsecured Subordinated Debentures

Terra Firma Capital Corporation (TSX VENTURE:TII) ("Terra Firma" or the
"Corporation") is pleased to announce that it has completed, on a non-brokered
basis, a private placement of convertible unsecured subordinated debentures (the
"Debentures") in the aggregate principal amount of $10,050,000 (the "Private
Placement"). The Debentures bear interest at an annual rate of 7%, payable
quarterly, and mature on September 27, 2014 (the "Maturity Date"). At any time
up to the Maturity Date, the Debentures are convertible at the option of the
holder into fully paid and non-assessable common shares of the Corporation (the
"Common Shares") at a price of $0.70 per Common Share (the "Conversion Price").
The Private Placement is subject to final approval by the TSX Venture Exchange.


The net proceeds of the Private Placement will be used to enhance Terra Firma's
liquidity position, to fund Terra Firma's business activities and for other
general corporate purposes. Messrs. Philip Reichmann and Morris Perlis, both
directors of Terra Firma, have subscribed for $150,000 and $100,000 principal
amounts of Debentures, respectively. Mr. Y. Dov Meyer, President and Chief
Executive Officer of Terra Firma, has subscribed for $150,000 principal amount
of Debentures and Messrs. R. Adam Levy and Howard Wortzman, members of senior
management of Terra Firma, have subscribed for $100,000 and $50,000 principal
amounts of Debentures, respectively (Messrs. Reichmann, Perlis, Meyer, Levy and
Wortzman collectively the "Insider Subscribers"). 


No other insider of Terra Firma participated in the Private Placement and the
balance of the Debentures has been placed with Canadian accredited investors.
Upon full conversion of the Debentures the Insider Subscribers will own or
control 2,924,381 Common Shares or 8.82% of the outstanding Common Shares. 


"Terra Firma has an active and growing pipeline of opportunities", said Y. Dov
Meyer, President and CEO of Terra Firma. "The funds raised in this issue will
enable the Company to realize on these opportunities and to establish Terra
Firma as a premier provider of customized equity and debt solutions to the real
estate industry."


The subscription for Debentures by Insider Subscribers constitutes a "related
party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 -
Protection of Minority Securityholders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101").
Terra Firma, as an issuer listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"), is
exempt from the formal valuation requirement of MI 61-101. In addition, Terra
Firma has relied on an exemption to the minority shareholder approval
requirements of MI 61-101 as (A) the Common Shares of Terra Firma are listed on
the TSXV, (B) neither the fair market value of the Debentures to be distributed
to, nor the consideration to be received by Terra Firma from the Insider
Subscribers in connection with the Private Placement exceeds $2,500,000, (C)
Terra Firma has independent directors who are not employees of Terra Firma and
who are not participating in the Private Placement and (D) at least two-thirds
of such independent directors have approved the Private Placement. 


The Debentures issuable under this Private Placement and the Common Shares
issuable upon conversion of the Debentures are subject to a four-month and one
day hold period pursuant to applicable securities laws and the rules of the
TSXV. There is currently no public market for the Debentures and Terra Firma
does not intend or undertake to list the Debentures on any public market or
exchange.
