Osta Biotechnologies Inc. (TSX VENTURE:OBI) has determined today that the

$0.0037 per share to $0.0036 per share.

months ended March 31, 2011 and will reissue and file on SEDAR restated
financial statements and management discussion and analysis for such period as
soon as possible.

stock options in respect of an aggregate of 100,000 common shares to one of its

exercise price of the options is $0.10 per share, being higher than the closing
price of the common shares of the Company on the TSX Venture Exchange at the
time of grant. The options will vest in two equal tranches over a twelve-month
