QCC Quest Capital Corp.

Quest Capital Corp. (the "Corporation" or "Quest") (TSX: QC)(NYSE Amex: QCC) announced today that it has received approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") for its normal course issuer bid ("NCIB"), under which the Corporation may make open market purchases of its common shares over the TSX. Purchases pursuant to the normal course issuer bid may commence on December 18, 2009 and will terminate on December 17, 2010 or on such earlier date as the Corporation may complete its purchases or otherwise terminate the bid.

Under the NCIB, the Corporation may purchase up to 12,132,650 common shares, which represents approximately 10% of the total of the Corporation's public float; Quest has 151,464,334 common shares issued and outstanding as at December 10, 2009 and its public float is approximately 121,326,500. The actual number of shares purchased, the timing of the purchases and the prices at which the shares will be purchased will depend upon future market conditions. A maximum of 42,793 common shares (being 25% of the average daily trading volume) may be purchased by Quest on any one day under its normal course issuer bid, except where purchases are made in accordance with "block purchases" exemptions under applicable TSX policies. The Corporation will pay market price at the time of acquisition for any shares purchased under the normal course issuer bid. The Corporation will cancel shares purchased under the bid. In the previous 12 months, the Corporation has not purchased any of its outstanding common shares.

The Corporation's directors believe that the purchase from time to time of common shares of the Corporation may be a worthwhile investment for the Corporation that should benefit continuing shareholders. The Corporation's directors believe that normal course issuer bid purchases of shares for cancellation may, by reducing the number of outstanding shares, reduce the discount that may exist between the market price of its shares and the Corporation's net asset value per share.
