THE APPOINTMENT OF A NEW DIRECTOR

TORONTO, ONTARIO - October 31, 2011Envoy Capital Group Inc. (NASDAQ: ECGI; TSX:ECG) (the "Company") is pleased to announce the appointment of Joseph Rus as a director of the Company. Mr Rus has over 35 years of experience in management and strategic development of pharmaceutical companies in North America, Europe and emerging markets.

Mr. Rus began his career in 1972 in Canada with Warner Lambert rising rapidly in positions of Sales Management, Marketing, Operations, Clinical Research and Business Development. Between 1985 and 1998, he assumed positions of increasing responsibility with Hoffman-la Roche, including Country Management from the Roche Headquarters in Basle, Switzerland. Under his leadership, Germany, Italy, Greece, Portugal and later Canada delivered significant profitability levels to Roche on revenue of $1.5 billion.

Mr. Rus joined Shire Pharmaceuticals in 1999 charged with establishing Shire's European foothold. This was accomplished in 2000, with the acquisition of profitable companies in Germany, Italy, France and Spain. After the acquisition of Roberts Pharmaceuticals, he returned to Canada to manage the Canadian Operation. Subsequent to the Biochem acquisition, Mr. Rus moved to Montreal as President and CEO of Shire-Biochem in 2001. In 2002, Mr. Rus returned to the U.K. as head of Shire's International Operations (all countries except USA). Since that time, Mr. Rus also served on Shire's Executive Committee as well as the Portfolio Review Committee. In 2006, Mr. Rus was charged with the responsibility of establishing affiliates in the increasingly important emerging markets, and by 2009 affiliates were open in Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Russia, Australia and Japan.

Additionally, Shire's Royalty Revenue Investment Portfolio and Intellectual Property Transition were managed out of their Dublin, Ireland Offices, under Mr. Rus's leadership.

"We are very pleased with the addition of Joseph Rus to the board of directors. He has a successful and proven track record in building pharmaceutical businesses and will provide valuable guidance to the management thru the merger process with Merus Labs International Inc. as well as providing strategic leadership for the growth of Merus Labs in the near future." said Robert Pollock, President of Envoy Capital Group.
