/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/

CALGARY, AB, Oct. 17, 2022 /CNW/ - Comprehensive Healthcare Systems Inc. (TSXV: CHS) (the "Company" or "CHS") is pleased to announce a non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") of 30,000,000 units of the Company (the "Units") at $0.05 per Unit for gross proceeds of up to $1.5 million. In its discretion, the Company may, in the context of the market, increase the size of the Private Placement in accordance with policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV").

The Company reserved the price for the Private Placement by filing a price reservation form with the TSXV on October 12, 2022. The Private Placement is expected to close on or around October 31, 2022, subject to adjustment at the discretion of the Company.

Each Unit will consist of one common share in the capital of CHS (a "Share") and a transferable warrant (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will be exercisable for a period of 24 months from the date of issue of the Warrant (the "Exercise Period"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one Share (a "Warrant Share") at a price of $0.10 per Warrant Share for the first 12 months of the Exercise Period and at a price of $0.15 per Warrant Share between 12 and 24 months of the Exercise Period.

The Company will pay eligible arm's length parties (each a "Finder") a cash fee equal to 7% of the aggregate value of the Units sold pursuant to the Private Placement in respect of subscriptions referred to the Company or directly sourced by the Finder and issued on closing (the "Finder's Fee"). The Company will also issue to each Finder that number of warrants, expiring twenty-four months from the date of issuance, to purchase that number of additional Warrant Shares equal to 7% of the number of subscriptions of Units referred to or directly sourced by the Finder to the Company (the "Finder Warrants") in connection with the Private Placement. Each Finder Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to subscribe for one Warrant Share at a price of $0.10 per Warrant Share for the first 12 months of the Exercise Period and at a price of $0.15 per Warrant Share between 12 and 24 months of the Exercise Period.

The Company may complete the Private Placement via the closing of multiple tranches. Closing of the Private Placement is subject to a number of conditions, including, without limitation, approval of the TSXV and receipt of all necessary corporate and regulatory approvals.

The securities issued under the Private Placement are offered by way of private placement in such provinces and/or territories of Canada as may be determined by the Company and to certain subscribers in the United States and outside the United States, in each case pursuant to applicable exemptions from the prospectus requirements under applicable securities laws. All securities issued under the Private Placement will be subject to a hold period which will expire four months and one day from the date of the applicable closing of the Private Placement.

The net proceeds of the Private Placement will be used for general corporate and working capital purposes and may also be used to fund the purchase price for the acquisition of Professional Benefit Administrators West, LLC, an Oklahoma limited liability company d/b/a Benveo (the "Benveo Acquisition"). For further details on the Benveo Acquisition, please refer to the Company's press releases dated September 22, 2022.
