Jack Nathan Mexico Update

TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Jack Nathan Medical Corp. (TSXV: "JNH"; OTCQB: "JNHMF"), operating as Jack Nathan Mexico & Jack Nathan MedSpa (the "Company" or “JNH”), as one of Mexico’s largest private healthcare networks and a premier MedSpa operator in Canada, announces that it will evaluate and consider opportunities for strategic options including mergers and acquisitions for its Mexico subsidiary (M&A).

Aside from a profit sharing agreement which was entered into with Wal-Mart Canada Corp. effective December 1, 2024, JNH Mexico has been unable to ratify terms for continuity of business with Walmart Mexico, and the Company has notified Walmart Mexico to consider evaluating all strategic options, including: (a) consenting to permit JNH to sell its Mexico operations to a successor, including one of Walmart's existing competing medical operators, in order to maintain continuity of operations of the Company’s 171 facilities within Walmart Mexico stores and distribution centres; (b) consider continuity of business with Jack Nathan Mexico with either existing or amended terms; or (c) consent to develop a bilateral transition plan and avoid ceasing operations and a wind down scenario.

Alternatively, the Company is exploring strategic options for continuity of operations with other retail and corporate partners, should no progress be made on the above offers suggested to Walmart Mexico.

No assurances can be provided that any of these efforts will be successful. In the absence of being able to ratify an agreement or explore strategic options, the Company is potentially facing a wind down scenario of its Mexico operations.

As part of this initiative, a comprehensive data room will be available post-qualification to interested parties. The comprehensive data room, available after qualification, will provide detailed insights and opportunities for potential partners and other interested parties. The Company invites interested parties to explore the wealth of information and possibilities that Jack Nathan Mexico^® has to offer.

If an agreement for a transaction is signed, further details will be provided by the Company at that time.
