QCC Quest Capital Corp.

DIVIDEND ON PREFERRED SHARES

The Corporation has declared an aggregate dividend of $1,361,096 on its $40,000,000 of outstanding 13.50% First Preferred Shares, Series A (the "Preferred Shares") for the third quarter ended September 30, 2009. The dividend will be paid in cash.

PREFERRED SHARES AMENDMENT

The Corporation has agreed with its Preferred Shareholders to waive their retraction rights on the Preferred Shares, which are repayable on December 31, 2010. Previously, the Preferred Shareholders held, at their sole option, the right to request repayment of their Preferred Shares after January 10, 2010.

The Preferred Shareholders have also agreed to an amendment to the redemption provisions of the Preferred Shares permitting the Corporation to redeem the Preferred Shares in tranches of at least $2,500,000.

In addition, the effective dividend rate will be reduced from 13.50% to 12.75% on October 1, 2009 and further reduced to 12.00% on January 1, 2010. As part of this transaction, Quest has paid a fee of $1,180,000 or 2.95% of the Preferred Shares.

"We're pleased to announce the Corporation has obtained further financial flexibility in reaching an agreement with our Preferred Shareholders to waive their retraction rights and allow partial redemption of the Preferred Shares," said A. Murray Sinclair, Quest Chairman. "Since we have no outstanding bank debt and we are receiving repayments on our outstanding mortgages, this will allow us to utilize some of our cash to redeem the Preferred Shares in an orderly manner. We believe, at present, this is an effective use of our cash."
