and Mr. Guy J. Anderson BA,
CFP, CIM, FMA, FCSI, MBA have agreed to serve on the company's Board of
Directors.
Mr. Perraton and Mr. Anderson join Mr. Donald Moore, Mr. Randy Bruder
and Mr. Roger Dumoulin-White on the board and will be instrumental in helping
Theralase secure the financing required to fuel Theralase’s growth over the
next 5 to 10 years.

Theralase, most recently as a Financial Planner for TD Waterhouse. Prior to his
current position, Mr. Perraton held progressively higher positions with BMO
Nesbitt Burns and Bank of Nova Scotia.
Mr. Perraton stated that, “I am delighted to join the board at
Theralase, as I am absolutely convinced that Theralase is on the right path for
shareholder value with both their therapeutic laser technology for healing
tissue and their Photo Dynamic Compound (PDC) technology for destroying cancer.
Their technology is far superior to anything I have seen on the market and
properly financed I see great opportunities for Theralase in the near term”.
Mr. Anderson brings over 16 years of financial experience to
Theralase, most recently as a Wealth Management and Personal Finance Advisor
with the Investment Planning Counsel. Prior to his current position, Mr.
Anderson held progressively higher positions with Franklin Templeton Investments

over the last 4 to 5 years and have been amazed that the company has been able
to advance such cutting-edge technology on a shoe string budget. I join Matt in
saying that properly capitalized there is nothing that stands in the way of
Theralase’s success. Their technology is not only the best on the market, but their
management team has demonstrated an ability to survive in choppy markets and to
advance the technology to the point that it is ready to grow in leaps and
bounds”.
Roger Dumoulin-White, President and CEO, Theralase Technologies Inc. stated,
“I am pleased that Matt and Guy have agreed to serve on our Board of Directors.
They both have broad experience in financial management, regulatory compliance

to the board and am confident that both will serve the company and the
shareholders well during their tenure.”

our long time board member Mr. John “Jack” Murphy late last year and we would like to take this opportunity to
