Curis Adopts Shareholder Rights Plan

August 26, 2011 – Vancouver, BC – Curis Resources Ltd. (“Curis” or the “Company”) (TSX:CUV) announces that its Board of Directors has approved the adoption of a Shareholder Rights Plan Agreement (the “Rights Plan”). The Rights Plan is being adopted to ensure the fair treatment of all Curis shareholders in connection with any take-over bid for the outstanding common shares of Curis. The Rights Plan will provide shareholders with adequate time to properly evaluate and assess a take-over bid without facing undue pressure or coercion. The Rights Plan also provides the Board with additional time to consider any take-over bid and, if applicable, to explore alternative transactions in order to maximize shareholder value.

The Rights Plan is similar to other plans adopted by many Canadian companies. It is not being adopted in response to any proposal to acquire control of Curis.

The Rights Plan has been approved by the Toronto Stock Exchange and will be presented for ratification by the shareholders at the Curis annual meeting to be held on September 19, 2011. If ratified by shareholders, the Rights Plan will have a term of three years.
