HIGHMARK INTERACTIVE INC. ANNOUNCES DELAY OF ANNUAL FILINGS AND MANAGEMENT CHANGES

Highmark Interactive Inc. is not able to file its annual financial statements, accompanying management's discussion and analysis, and related chief executive officer and chief financial officer certifications for the financial year ended Dec. 31, 2022, within the period prescribed for the filing of such documents under parts 4 and 5 of National Instrument 51-102 and pursuant to National Instrument 52-109, namely within 120 days of year-end.

As a result of difficulty over the past year to raise sufficient financing to permit the company to carry out its planned work on its technology and cover its corporate expenses, the company is prioritizing payments in order to ensure operational sustainability. This has resulted in an outstanding balance with its auditor for work undertaken to complete the audit of the 2022 annual consolidated financial statements, the work for which the company believes is substantially complete. In order for the auditors to finalize the audit and execute the audit report required to be included in the 2022 annual consolidated financial statements, the company must settle the outstanding balance for services provided. Highmark is currently working to raise the required financing to allow it to pay the outstanding amounts and to file the 2022 annual consolidated financial statements, thus remedying the filing default on or before June 30, 2023.

During the period of default, Highmark will issue biweekly default status reports in the form of further press releases, which will also be filed on SEDAR. Highmark confirms that no insolvency proceedings have been initiated against it and 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.

Due to the company's inability to file its 2022 annual consolidated financial statements on a timely basis, Highmark expects the Canadian securities regulatory authorities will implement a general cease trade order on trading in the company's securities until the default is remedied. The company had expected to obtain financing in order to satisfy outstanding amounts to, among others, its auditors, and therefore a management cease trade order, which may have otherwise been pursued, was not applied for. The company will apply to revoke any cease trade order as soon as any defaults can be remedied.

The company is assessing all of its strategic options and continuing to work diligently to secure the financing required to meet all of its financial obligations and execute its strategic plan but there can be no guarantee such financing will be secured.

The company has also determined that it is currently in technical default under the terms of a secured loan previously made to it by a small group of shareholders, one of whom is an insider of the company. No enforcement proceedings have been initiated or threatened as of the date of this press release. The company is in discussions with the secured creditors who have indicated a willingness to defer the initiation of any enforcement proceedings or debt restructuring efforts and are working constructively with the company to assist in securing the financing required to meet all of its financial obligations. Any material developments in connection with such continuing discussions between the company and the secured lenders will be promptly disclosed through future press releases that will be filed on SEDAR.

The company also announces Inder Saini has resigned as the company's chief financial officer but will continue to support the company in an advisory capacity until such time as a suitable replacement can be secured. The company thanks Mr. Saini for his services. Dr. Sanjeev Sharma, the company's CEO, will serve as interim CFO until a replacement is secured.
