Bayswater Files Form 20-F for United States Registration & Grants Incentive Options

VANCOUVER, BC, Jun 11, 2008 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX News Network) --

Bayswater Uranium Corporation (TSX-V: BAY) (PINKSHEETS: BYSWF) ("the Company") is pleased to report that it has filed a registration statement on Form 20-F with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") to register its common shares as a class of securities under Section 12(g) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act"). The Company undertook this step due to its large shareholder base in the United States and to provide greater access to its equity market for its shareholders and investors in the United States. The registration statement is subject to SEC review and may be required to be amended before it becomes effective under the Exchange Act. As of the effective date, the Company becomes a reporting company in the United States and thereafter will file reports and submit other information as required by the SEC, which will permit development of a secondary trading market for its shares in the United States.

The Company also advises that it is re-pricing most of its incentive stock options to certain directors, officers, employees and consultants in order to retain and provide proper incentive for the Company's key staff in the current market downturn which has occurred at a time when the industry is still very competitive for qualified personnel. The Company is therefore cancelling 13,257,240 incentive stock options and granting new stock options to certain directors, officers, employees and consultants entitling them to purchase up to 14,209,240 common shares of the capital stock in the Company at a price of $0.45 per share for a period of five years, subject to regulatory approval. Option grants to directors and officers are also subject to shareholder approval at the Company's next annual general meeting. Pursuant to this grant of options, every individual will have the same or a greater number of options granted as they held previously. All options are subject to a one year vesting period pursuant to Company policy.
