Payfare Provides Update on Annual Filings

Payfare provided an update to its previously disclosed management cease trade order ("MCTO"), in respect of its delayed filing of its audited annual financial statements, management's discussion and analysis, annual information form, and related certifications, all for the year ended December 31, 2023 (collectively, the "Annual Filings").

The delay in the Annual Filings is due solely to the delay in receiving the System and Organization Controls ("SOC 1") auditor's report from its material vendor (the "Vendor") which is required in order for the Company's auditors to complete their required audit procedures to issue their opinion.

There have been no changes to the expected timing of the delivery of the SOC 1 report from the Vendor disclosed within the press release dated April 25, 2024. Payfare continues to anticipate that it will complete its Annual Filings by May 22, 2024. The Company will issue a news release announcing completion of filing of the Annual Filings at such time as they are completed and filed.

Until the Company files the Annual Filings, it will comply with the alternative information guidelines set out under National Policy 12-203 – Cease Trade Orders for Continuous Disclosure Defaults, including issuing bi-weekly default status reports by way of news releases such as this one, which will be filed on SEDAR+.

No Conference Call Scheduled

Management recently hosted a conference call on April 29, 2024, and provided an update on Payfare's financial outlook, strategy, and operations. There have been no new developments to discuss since the previous conference call, and as such management believes there is no value in hosting another conference call to discuss Q1 2024 financial results. An archived recording of the previous conference call hosted on April 29, 2024 will be available until May 29, 2024. To listen to the recording, call 289-819-1325 or 1-888-660-6264 and enter passcode 10007.
