Curis adopts Shareholder Rights Plan

VANCOUVER, Aug. 26, 2011 /CNW/ --
VANCOUVER, Aug. 26, 2011 /CNW/ - 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.
