Mednow Announces Filing of Application for Management Cease Trade Order and Change of Auditor

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Mednow Inc. (TSXV: MNOW) (OTCQX: MDNWF) ("Mednow" or the "Company") announces today that it will likely miss its filing deadline of December 30, 2022 to file unaudited interim financial statements and accompanying management's discussion and analysis and related CEO and CFO certificates for the period ended October 31, 2022 (collectively, the "Interim Filings"), as required under applicable Canadian securities laws.

In connection with the Company's inability to file the Interim Filings on time, the Company has applied for a Management Cease Trade Order ("MCTO") under National Policy 12-203 – Management Cease Trade Orders ("NP 12-203") and is waiting for the British Columbia Securities Commission’s approval.

The Company is applying for a MCTO as a result of ongoing complications in coordinating with the Company’s auditors and collection of required data and documentation to complete the review of the Company and its various subsidiaries, during the period ended October 31, 2022.

The Company expects to file the Interim Filings as soon as they are available, but in any event no later than January 31, 2023, and will issue a news release once the Interim Filings have been filed. Until the Company files the Interim Filings, it will comply with the alternative information guidelines set out in NP 12-203. The guidelines, among other things, require the Company to issue bi-weekly default status reports, in the form of news releases, for so long as the Interim Filings have not been filed.

During the MCTO, the general investing public will continue to be able to trade in the Company's Class A Common Shares listed on the TSX Venture Exchange. However, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and such other directors, officers and persons as determined by the applicable regulatory authorities will not be able to trade in the Company's shares, nor will the Company be able to, directly or indirectly, issue securities to or acquire securities from an insider or employee of the Company except in accordance with legally binding obligations to do so existing as of December 30, 2022, being the date of the Company’s anticipated continuous disclosure default.

The Company is not currently subject to any insolvency proceedings. If the Company provides any information to any of its creditors during the period in which it is in default of filing the Interim Filings, the Company confirms that it will also file material change reports on SEDAR containing such information.

Change of Auditor

The Company also announces that it has changed its auditor from MNP LLP, Chartered Professional Accountants (the “Former Auditor”) to SRCO Professional Corporation, Chartered Professional Accountants (the “Successor Auditor”) effective as of December 5, 2022.

There have been no modified opinions expressed in the Former Auditor’s auditor reports on any of the Company’s financial statements relating to the “relevant period” (as defined under subsection 4.11(1) of National Instrument 51-102 – Continuous Disclosure Obligations (“NI 51-102”)), nor have there been any “reportable events” within the meaning assigned under section 4.11 of NI 51-102.

In accordance with NI 51-102, the notice of change of auditor, together with the required letters from the Former Auditor and the Successor Auditor, have been reviewed by the Company’s Board of Directors and Auditor Committee, and filed on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) under the Company’s profile.
