Cynapsus Therapeutics Inc. ("Cynapsus" or the "Company") (TSX
VENTURE:CTH)(OTCQX:CYNAF) today announced that the common shares of the Company
(CUSIP 23257Y701) have been made eligible for book-entry delivery and depository
services of The Depository Trust Company (the "DTC") to facilitate electronic
settlement of transfers of its common shares in the United States.


"The ability to have Cynapsus shares electronically transferred between
brokerages in the United States is significantly more convenient and reduces the
costs incurred in trading shares," said Anthony Giovinazzo, President & CEO of
Cynapsus. "With our shares now traded electronically, existing investors benefit
from greater liquidity and execution speeds, while we've also opened the door to
new investors that may have been previously restricted from our stock."


About Cynapsus Therapeutics

Cynapsus is a specialty pharmaceutical company developing a convenient and easy
to use sublingual (oral) thin film strip for the acute rescue of "OFF" motor
symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Cynapsus' drug candidate, APL-130277, is an
easy-to-administer, fast-acting reformulation of apomorphine, which is the only
approved drug (in the United States, Europe, Japan and other countries) to
rescue patients from "OFF" episodes. Cynapsus is focused on maximizing the value
of APL-130277 by completing pivotal studies in advance of a New Drug Application
("NDA") expected to be submitted in 2016.


Over one million people in the U.S. and an estimated 4 to 6 million people
globally suffer from Parkinson's disease. Parkinson's disease is a chronic and
progressive neurodegenerative disease that impacts motor activity, and its
prevalence is increasing with the aging of the population. Based on a recent
study and the results of the Company's Global 500 Neurologists Survey, it is
estimated that between 25 percent and 50 percent of patients experience "OFF"
episodes in which they have impaired movement or speaking capabilities. Current
medications only control the disease's symptoms, and most drugs become less
effective over time as the disease progresses.
