LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL
WITH RESPECT TO THE COMMON SHARES OF
PINETREE CAPITAL LTD.
This Letter of Transmittal is only for use by registered holders ("Shareholders") of common shares ("Shares") of Pinetree Capital Ltd. (the "Corporation") in connection with the proposed consolidation of all of the issued and outstanding Shares on the basis of one (1) post-consolidation Share (each, a "New Share") for each one hundred (100) pre-consolidation Shares outstanding (the "Consolidation"), which is being submitted for approval at the Meeting.
In order for a Shareholder to receive a certificate(s) representing the number of New Shares that the Shareholder is entitled to receive under the Consolidation, the Shareholder is required to return the certificates representing the Shares held by the Shareholder to the Depositary. This Letter of Transmittal, properly completed and duly executed, together with all other required documents, must accompany all certificates for Shares returned for certificates of New Shares.
No certificates representing fractional New Shares will be issued upon the surrender for exchange of certificates representing Shares. Please refer to the Circular and Instruction 4 of this Letter of Transmittal for details of the treatment of fractional interests under the Consolidation.
Please read the Circular and the instructions set out below carefully before completing this Letter of Transmittal. Delivery of this Letter of Transmittal to an address other than as set forth herein will not constitute a valid delivery. If Shares are registered in different names, a separate Letter of Transmittal must be submitted for each different registered owner. See Instruction 2(f) of this Letter of Transmittal.
The undersigned hereby delivers to the Depositary the following share certificates representing the Shares indicated below which the undersigned owns:

The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that:
-
the undersigned has full power and authority to deliver the certificates referenced above and has not sold, assigned or transferred or agreed to sell, assign or transfer any of the Shares represented by such certificates, or any interest therein, to any other person;
-
the undersigned has good title to and is the registered owner of the Shares, free and clear of all liens, restrictions, charges, encumbrances, claims and rights of others;
-
the undersigned has the full power and authority to execute and deliver this Letter of Transmittal and all information inserted into this Letter of Transmittal by the undersigned is complete and accurate; and

unless the undersigned shall have revoked this Letter of Transmittal by notice in writing given to the Depositary prior to the effective date of the Consolidation, the undersigned will not, prior to such time, transfer or permit to be transferred any of its Shares.
The above-listed Share certificates are hereby surrendered in exchange for certificates representing New Shares on the basis of one (1) New Share for every one hundred (100) existing Shares, conditional upon completion of the Consolidation (and subject to rounding for fractional interests).
The undersigned hereby covenants to execute, upon request, any additional documents, transfers and other assurances as may be necessary or desirable to complete the exchange of certificates under the Consolidation.
If the Consolidation is not completed or proceeded with, the enclosed certificate(s) in respect of the Shares and all other ancillary documents will be returned forthwith to the undersigned at the address set out below or, if no instructions are given, to the address if any, of the undersigned as appears on the share register maintained by Equity Financial Trust Company, the transfer agent for the Shares.
Each authority conferred or agreed to be conferred by the undersigned in this Letter of Transmittal shall survive the death or incapacity of the undersigned and any obligation of the undersigned hereunder shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the undersigned.
By reason of the use by the undersigned of an English language Letter of Transmittal, the undersigned and each of you shall be deemed to have required that any contract in connection with the delivery of the certificates evidencing the New Shares pursuant to the Consolidation through this Letter of Transmittal, as well as all documents related thereto, be drawn exclusively in the English language. En raison de l'utilisation d'une lettre d'envoi en langue anglaise par le soussigné, le soussigné et les destinataires sont présumés avoir requis que tout contrat attesté par ceci et son acceptation au moyen de la présente letter d'envoi, de même que tous les documents qui s'y rapportent, soient rédigés exclusivement en langue anglaise.
