Bioniche Converts a Portion of its Debt to Equity
Date:3/27/2008

- results in US$1.75 million of new available funds -

BELLEVILLE, ON, March 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Bioniche Life Sciences Inc. (TSX: BNC), a research-based, technology-driven Canadian biopharmaceutical company, today announced that the Company has exercised its right under the agreement to repay US$1.75 million of its secured revolving credit facility with Valens U.S. (formerly Laurus Master Funds) in common shares.

The conversion is in accordance with the formula set out in the original agreement signed in 2005. The shares will be priced at the ten day market average less 15% which equates to 2,671,900 shares. In addition, the Company will issue 200,000 five-year warrants at market price ($0.77 per share) in exchange for Valens waiving certain volume restrictions relating to the conversion under the agreement. There is no penalty attached to this repayment.

This conversion will result in new available funds of US$1.75 million. As a result, the Company's capacity to borrow under the revolving credit facility after the conversion will be approximately US$3.2M, determined by a formula which measures existing levels of inventory and accounts receivable.

"Again we appreciate the support and flexibility of our bankers, Valens U.S.," said Patrick Montpetit, Chief Financial Officer of Bioniche Life Sciences Inc. "This private placement will improve our liquidity as we continue to execute our Phase III clinical development program with Urocidin in bladder cancer and begin the construction of a facility in which to scale-up production of our E. coli O157:H7 cattle vaccine in Belleville, Ontario."
