LAC-MEGANTIC, QUEBEC--(Marketwire - Nov. 3, 2009) - Bestar Inc. (CNSX:BES)(TSX:BES) today announced that the Canadian National Stock Exchange (the "CNSX") has accepted to list the common shares of Bestar. The company's common shares will be posted for trading on the CNSX at the opening of the market on November 6, 2009 under the symbol "BES".

As previously-announced (see Bestar's press release dated October 9, 2009), Bestar has been advised by the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") that the company was under review as the market value of its publicly-held securities has been below two million dollars for more than twenty consecutive trading days. The TSX has given Bestar until October 30, 2009 to comply with all of the listing requirements of the TSX. As the company's market value has not improved, at the request of the Corporation, the common shares of Bestar will be de-listed from the TSX at the close of business on November 6, 2009.

Management and the Board of Directors have determined that the CNSX is the most appropriate organized market on which the common shares of Bestar should trade at this stage of the company's development.

Shareholders of Bestar will be able to retrieve quotation for Bestar's common share using CNSX' website at cnsx.ca and the following financial information websites: globeinvestor.com; stockwatch.com; stockhouse.com; financialpost.com; and quotemedia.com.

The move from the TSX to CNSX does not require any action from the part of shareholders.
