Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - June 18, 2026) - Comprehensive Healthcare Systems Inc. (TSXV: CHS) (OTCQB: CMHSF) (the "Company" or "CHS"), an industry leader in healthcare benefits administration software and services, today announced that it has engaged E.F. Hutton & Co. LLC ("E.F. Hutton") to advise the Company regarding a potential uplisting to a senior U.S. national securities exchange.

Under the engagement, E.F. Hutton will provide strategic financial advisory services to CHS, including assistance with evaluating financing alternatives, capital markets strategy, and preparations associated with a potential uplisting to a U.S. national securities exchange, subject to satisfaction of applicable listing requirements and market conditions.

CHS recently outlined its strategic roadmap, in the CEO shareholder letter issued on April 13^th, 2026, focused on accelerating growth, expanding its U.S. market presence, investing in artificial intelligence capabilities, pursuing strategic acquisitions, and increasing shareholder value. The Company's management believes that the engagement of E.F. Hutton represents an important step in advancing these initiatives.

"With 100% of our revenue generated in the United States, we believe a potential uplisting to a senior U.S. exchange is a logical evolution for Comprehensive Healthcare Systems," said Chris Cosgrove, Chief Executive Officer of CHS. "We believe a broader U.S. investor audience will have a better understanding of our business model, our healthcare technology platform, and the significant opportunities ahead. E.F. Hutton brings substantial capital markets expertise and a strong track record advising growth companies, making them an ideal partner as we evaluate financing opportunities and pursue our long-term strategic objectives."

The Company believes that access to a potential uplisting on a recognized U.S. national securities exchange and related availability of additional growth capital would support continued investments in its Novus 360 platform, artificial intelligence initiatives, sales expansion, product development, and potential strategic acquisitions within the highly fragmented healthcare administration market.

"We believe our recent growth momentum, including major customer wins and increasing scale across our healthcare benefits administration platform, has positioned CHS for its next phase of development," added Cosgrove. "We look forward to working with E.F. Hutton as we seek to strengthen our capital structure, enhance our visibility within the U.S. investment community, and create long-term value for shareholders."

There can be no assurance that the Company will complete any financing transaction or that it will satisfy the requirements for, or successfully complete, an uplisting to any senior U.S. national securities exchange. Any such transaction remains subject to market conditions, regulatory approvals, exchange requirements, and approval by the Company's Board of Directors.
