Foccini International Inc. ("Foccini" or the "Company")(TSX VENTURE:FOI)
announces that it has signed a term sheet with the University of Calgary (the
"University") and Arch Biotech Inc. ("Arch"), providing for the basic terms of a
future equity and overhead agreement between the parties (the "Term Sheet").


The execution of a definitive agreement is conditional on Foccini's exercise of
its option to purchase all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Arch
(the "Option"). The terms of the Option are more particularly described in
Foccini's press release dated May 6, 2009.


Pursuant to the Term Sheet, the University will exchange its revenue sharing
rights in the intellectual property produced by the Arch research programs at
the University of Calgary in exchange for an equity stake in Arch. The
University and Arch will also enter into an overhead agreement to allow Arch
scientists to continue using University labs and infrastructure to advance the
Arch research programs.


In the event Foccini exercises its Option, Foccini has agreed to issue 1,576,000
common shares to the University in return for the University's equity stake in
Arch. These shares will be issued at a deemed price of $0.20 per share for a
total value of $315,200.


If Foccini exercises its Option such transaction will constitute a change of
business pursuant to the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"),
and at such time Foccini will file a change of business application with the
Exchange and issue a comprehensive press release. Completion of the transactions
described in this press release are subject to compliance with all necessary
