ComWest Enterprise Corp. ("ComWest") (TSX VENTURE: CWP)(TSX VENTURE: CWP.A) is pleased to announce that its shareholders and the TSX Venture Exchange have approved the consolidation of ComWest's issued and outstanding Class A Restricted Equity Shares (Non-Voting) and Class B Common Shares (Voting).

Pursuant to a special resolution passed by shareholders on October 14, 2009, the Company has approved the consolidation of both its Class A and Class B shares on a 2500 old for 1 new basis. Holders holding less than one full share post consolidation are entitled to a cash payment of $0.04 per share of their holdings on a pre-consolidation basis in lieu of a fractional share. Following the consolidation, the Company will immediately complete a stock split on the basis of 1 old for 500 new, with fractional shares being rounded to the nearest whole number. The Consolidation and Stock Split will achieve a 5 to 1 consolidation and eliminate all of the shareholdings of less than 2500 pre-consolidation shares in exchange for the cash payment of $0.04 per share.

Effective at the opening on October 19, 2009, the Class A and Class B shares of ComWest will commence trading on the TSX Venture Exchange on a consolidated basis (five (5) old to one (1) new). The CUSIP numbers of the Company will change to CA2058923004 (Class A shares) and CA2058924093 (Class B shares); however, the name of the Company and trading symbols have not been changed.

Prior to the completion of the consolidation and split, ComWest has 5,027,504 Class A shares and 7,040,432 Class B shares outstanding. Upon completion of the consolidation/split and elimination of shareholdings of less than 2500 pre-consolidation shares, it is anticipated that there will be approximately 834,400 Class A Shares and 1,208,000 Class B Shares issued and outstanding. The exact number of shares will depend on the number of fractional shares actually eliminated on the Consolidation.

Letters of transmittal are in the process of being mailed to all registered shareholders. In order to obtain their new share certificates, each shareholder must complete and send the letter of transmittal along with their share certificates to the transfer agent, as explained in detail in the management information circular and the letter of transmittal.
