Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - December 12, 2017) - The Jenex Corporation (NEX: JEN.H) (TSXV: JEN) ("Jenex" or the "Company"), a progressive medical device technology company, today announces that the Company has met the requirements to be listed as a TSX Venture Tier 2 Company.  Effective December 13, 2017, the Company's listing will transfer from NEX to TSX Venture, the Company's Tier classification will change from NEX to Tier 2 and the filing and service office will change from NEX to Toronto. Effective at the opening, December 13, 2017, the trading symbol for the Company will change from JEN.H to JEN.

On December 7th, 2017, Jenex presented its InterceptCS™ technology for cold sores and its TherOZap™ technology, currently being tested to inactivate the Zika virus, at the Chinese Global Financial Forum along with the proposed medical device target acquisitions for acne and other cosmetic applications. The conference took place in Shenzhen, China, a city with a population of 11.91M, which many consider the 'Silicon Valley' of China. Jenex presented to Chinese funds, enterprises and other large-scale investors that have focused on outbound investments, trade sales and licensing deals as their strategic focus. In addition, Jenex was interviewed by a local TV network.

Immediately following the presentation Jenex was approached by several entities to fund, market, distribute and manufacture its products for the Chinese marketplace. As a result of the strong interest in Jenex's products and given the size and scope of China's consumer market and demand for cosmetic based medical device solutions, the Company believes its products are ideal to market and sell to the Chinese marketplace. Jenex will aggressively pursue market opportunities in China for its inventory of InterceptCS™ technology and near-term commercialization of the TherOZap™ technology, and proposed acquisition products in acne and other cosmetic applications.

As previously reported on November 2nd, 2017, relating to the Proposed Acquisition for acne and other cosmetic applications, Jenex has agreed with the vendor of the Target Acquisitions to extend the execution of a definitive share purchase agreement to an anticipated closing date of February 15th, 2018. The Proposed Acquisition will be subject to customary due diligence which has been extended to January 15th, 2018.

Rob Fia, CEO commented:

"We are extremely pleased to achieve a number of milestones during 2017 but especially pleased to receive approval to graduate to the TSX Venture Exchange. The TSX Venture Exchange is respected worldwide as premier market for junior issuers. The graduation will increase opportunities for the Company to increase liquidity for trading in its common shares as well as open new channels for financing previously not available to the Company.

Jenex sees attractive sales opportunities for its existing product line and acquisition products for the Chinese marketplace. We expect to report further updates in the near future along with the final test results from our Zika testing with our TherOZap™ technology."

The Company reports that Mr. John Gamble has resigned from the Board to pursue other business interests. The Board would like to thank Mr. Gamble for his past service. Mr. Tak Wing Law, CFO, has been appointed as a temporary director of the Company.
