In a move to enhance its long term financial strength, WellQuest Medical & Wellness Corporation (the “Company” or “WellQuest”) (Pink Sheets:WEQL), announced today that it intends to voluntarily deregister its common stock on or about April 30, 2010. WellQuest intends to suspend its reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by filing a Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. It is eligible to suspend its reporting obligations and deregister its common stock because there are less than 300 holders of record of the Company’s common stock.

Upon the filing of the Form 15, WellQuest’s obligation to file certain reports with the SEC, including Forms 10-K, 10-Q, and 8-K, will immediately be suspended. WellQuest expects that the deregistration of its common stock will become effective 90 days after the date of filing the Form 15 with the SEC. The Company anticipates that its common stock will continue to be quoted under the symbol WEQL on the Pink Sheets®, an electronic quotation service for over-the-counter securities. The Pink Sheets is a provider of pricing and financial information for the over-the-counter securities markets. It is a centralized quotation service that collects and publishes market maker quotes in real time primarily through its website, www.otcmarkets.com.

The Company intends to follow the Alternative Reporting Standard as defined by Pink OTC Markets, Inc. thereby providing publicly available information for market makers and investors to be able to quote and trade the Company’s common stock on the Pink Sheets. However, the Company can give no assurances that any broker will make a market in the Company’s common stock.

WellQuest’s President and CEO, Steve Swift stated, “Our core business model in Bentonville, Arkansas is doing well with a record revenue year of over $3.8 Million in 2009. We believe that we have proven our business model works and pleases our customers. Our focus now is to replicate that success by replicating our model in numerous locations across the country. We are pursuing several strategies for funding our second location.”

Swift continued, “With our strategy for growth in mind, WellQuest continues as a publicly traded company on the Pink Sheets where we have traded for the past two months. We are committed to transparency for our investors and the market; therefore we will be providing adequate current information according to the Alternate Reporting Standards published by Pink OTC Markets. The Company’s Board of Directors decided to take this action because it believes that the burdens associated with operating as a registered public company currently outweigh any advantage to WellQuest and its stockholders at this time. We believe that freeing up the financial and time resources required for registered reporting will create value for our shareholders by allowing us to better execute our business plan, and improve our long term financial strength.”

WellQuest is pursuing a goal to replicate its positive integrative medical experience by opening branded WellQuest facilities in other metropolitan areas of the U.S. The Company believes families and businesses are seeking options in the U.S. where annual sick care costs exceed $2.5 trillion, 16.7% of GDP. WellQuest is a relevant option toward treatment, prevention and wellness. The Company’s business is aimed at the evolving healthcare market which includes a $500 billion physician services sector, an $86 billion nutraceutical sector, a $12 billion cosmeceutical sector, and a $12.8 billion spa/medical spa sector. These sectors have traditionally been segregated. WellQuest brings them together in a way that meaningfully serves its customers.
