Comprehensive Healthcare Systems Inc. Announces Removal of Cease Trade Order

Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - October 15, 2024) - Comprehensive Healthcare Systems Inc. (TSXV: CHS) (the "Company" or "CHS"), an industry leader in healthcare benefits administration software and services, announces that Alberta Securities Commission, the principal regulator, has, effective October 10th, 2024, removed the "Failure to File Cease Trade Order" (FFCTO) placed on CHS. The FFCTO was placed on July 9th, 2024, due to the delay in the filing of its annual audited financial statements, associated MD&A and officer certifications (the "Annual Filings") for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, which were due on April 29, 2024.

The Company will now apply to the Toronto Venture Stock Exchange for reinstatement of trading in its stock.

The Company also announces that it received debt funding of $400,000 USD (approximately $540,000 CAD) with a convertible option for the lenders at an agreed permissible discount to the closing price per share of the Company recorded on the day before the conversion is approved by relevant regulatory bodies and a press release is issued regarding the proposed conversion.

This conversion is subject to all necessary regulatory approvals including the approval of TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") and where applicable an approval from majority of shareholders who attend and vote their shares in a special annual general meeting of the Company.

As disclosed before and in its recently filed audited annual financial statement for year ended December 31, 2023, first quarter ending March 31, 2024, second quarter ending June 30, 2024, and related management discussion & analysis, during 2023, the Company experienced financial and operational challenges impacting profitability. As a result, the Company made significant restructuring efforts to reduce costs and improve operations.

Although the Company has made significant progress in aligning its cost structure to the revenue base, it continues to face funding challenges to fuel its growth. Therefore, the Company will continue to seek additional funding to manage its working capital and to meet its outstanding obligations.
