Wellbeing Digital Sciences Inc. (“Wellbeing” or the “Company”) (NEO: MEDI) (OTC: KONEF) (FRA: SQ2) announces that the British Columbia Securities Commission (the “BCSC”) has issued a Failure-to-File Cease Trade Order (“FFCTO”) pursuant to National Policy 11-207 – Failure to File Cease Trade Orders and Revocations in Multiple Jurisdictions dated, April 5, 2023, in respect of the securities of the Company as a result of the Company’s inability to file its:

  1. interim financial report for the period ended January 31, 2023,
  2. annual audited financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2022,
  3. management's discussion and analysis for the periods ended October 31, 2022 and January 31, 2023,
  4. annual information form for the year ended October 31, 2022, and
  5. certification of annual and interim filings for the periods ended October 31, 2022 and January 31, 2023,

all as required by National Instrument 51-102 - Continuous Disclosure Obligations and National Instrument 52-109 - Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings (collectively, the “Documents”).

As previously disclosed, the Company recently changed accounting firms, which prompted the initial delay, and, due to the complexity of Wellbeing’s business, the delay has continued longer than anticipated. The Company is working diligently and expeditiously with its auditors and expects to file the Documents as soon as possible with a current expectation of on or about April 30, 2023.

The FFCTO prohibits the trading by any person of any securities of the Company in each jurisdiction in Canada in which the Company is a reporting issuer, including trades in the Company’s common shares made through the Canadian Securities Exchange, for as long as the FFCTO remains in effect; however, the FFCTO provides an exception for beneficial securityholders of the Company who are not currently (and who were not as of April 5, 2023) insiders or control persons of the Company and who sell securities of the Company acquired before April 5, 2023 if both of the following criteria are met: (i) the sale is made through a “foreign organized regulated market”, as defined in section 1.1 of the Universal Market Integrity Rules of the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada and (ii) the sale is made through an investment dealer registered in a jurisdiction of Canada in accordance with applicable securities legislation.

There is no assurance that the Company will be able to remedy its filing default and have the FFCTO lifted in a timely manner or at all.

The Company is not currently subject to any insolvency proceedings. The Company also confirms that there is no other material information concerning the affairs of the Company that has not been generally disclosed as of the date of this press release.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS:
