YANGAROO ADOPTS SHAREHOLDERS RIGHTS PLAN

Toronto, Canada
 
YANGAROO Inc
. (TSX-V:YOO, OTCBB:YOOIF)  (“YANGAROO” or “the Company”) President and CEO, John Heaven, announced today that the Company's Board of Directors (the “Board”) has adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan (the “Rights Plan”), subject to regulatory approval. The Rights Plan has been adopted to ensure the fair treatment of shareholders in connection with any take-over bid for common shares of YANGAROO. The Rights Plan seeks to provide shareholders with adequate time to properly assess a takeover bid without undue pressure. It also provides the Board with more time to fully consider an unsolicited take-over bid and to explore other alternatives to maximize shareholder value.
 
The Rights Plan is not intended to prevent take-over bids that treat shareholders fairly. Under the Rights Plan, those bids that meet certain requirements intended to protect the interests of all shareholders are deemed to be “Permitted Bids”. Permitted Bids must be made by way of a take-over bid circular prepared in compliance with applicable securities laws and, among other conditions, must remain open for 60 days. In the event a take-over bid does not meet the Permitted Bid Requirements of the Rights Plan, the rights will entitle shareholders, other than any shareholder or shareholders making the takeover bid, to purchase additional common shares of the Company at a substantial discount to the market price of the common shares at that time.
 
The Rights Plan is not being adopted in response to any proposal to acquire control of the Company. The full text of the Rights Plan is available on SEDAR. The Company is seeking the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange after which the Rights Plan will be presented for ratification by the shareholders at YANGAROO’s Annual Meeting to be held in June, 2009. If approved by the shareholders, the Rights Plan will have an initial term of three years.
 
On Behalf of the Board:
“John Heaven”
President & CEO
