Medifocus Successfully Completes Restructuring Transaction

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - August 15, 2022) - Medifocus Inc. ("Medifocus" or the "Company"), a medical device company with a patented portfolio of medical technologies that use focused heat to safely and effectively cause thermo-induced ablation together with simultaneous dilatation of the prostate gland in treating Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) and potentially certain cancerous conditions, completed a restructuring transaction (the "Transaction") in connection with creditor protection proceedings under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada) (the "CCAA") on August 12, 2022. Pursuant to the Transaction, the Company was acquired by, and became a wholly owned subsidiary of, Asset Profits Limited ("APL"), a corporation existing under the laws of the British Virgin Islands and a secured lender of the Company. Pursuant to the Transaction, APL acquired 18,498,421,500 common shares of the Company ("Common Shares") and then the Common Shares were consolidated on the basis of one new Common Share for every 184,984,215 old Common Shares, resulting in APL becoming the sole securityholder of the Company.

The Transaction resulted from the court-approved sale and investment solicitation process conducted under the CCAA under the supervision of msi Spergel Inc., the court appointed monitor, and the direction of the board of directors of the Company. Completion of the Transaction represents the material completion of the plan of compromise or arrangement of Medifocus under the CCAA.

With a renewed financial footing and new leadership, Medifocus is now a viable private company with minimal debt and the resources necessary to pursue its growth plans and the continued advancement of its technology.

The Company has filed with the Ontario Securities Commission (the "OSC") an application for an order revoking the cease trade order against the Company dated September 4, 2020 and an application for an order that the Company has ceased to be a reporting issuer in British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario (collectively, the "Orders"). The Company expects that the OSC will grant the Orders concurrently in due course.

The Common Shares of the Company will be delisted from the TSX Venture Exchange as the Company no longer meets ongoing listing requirements.
