Ethema Receives License for its Boca Raton facility

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Aug. 7, 2024

The Company has been managing Edgewater Recovery Center ("ERC") in Kentucky since July 15, 2024 and has been very successful in stabilizing the ERC operations.   The Company is negotiating with the Owner of the Paducah, Kentucky facility to purchase that facility along with two other facilities under development in Paducah.  These additional facilities would add another 60 beds to the ERC operations.

With the large amount of real estate involved in the Kentucky locations, and given the Company's various real estate ownership in the past, the Company is now considering setting up a separate Real Estate Fund which would be financed outside of the Company while still allowing the Company to share in the upside of the appreciating value and development potential of the real estate.  The real estate would not be carried on the Company balance sheet and no investment would be made by the Company in the real estate.  The Company would still manage the real estate and have a 50% interest in the appreciating value of the real estate over and above its acquisition cost. 

The Company will be presenting at the 1640 Society annual gathering in Southampton, New York on Monday August 12, 2024.   The Company expects to be able to announce the new Real Estate Fund structure and a new Preferred Stock offering for raising new equity for the Company.

Mr. Shawn Leon, Company CEO reported, "We are very fortunate to be able to present at the prestigious 1640 Society gathering in Southampton next week.   The recent company developments should motivate the investment community to get involved and share in the fantastic growth we are going to see.  Since the Kentucky deal blew away our growth target of 500 beds by the end of 2025 we have now reset our growth target to 3,000 beds by the end of 2027." 

On August 6, 2024, Mr. Leon was interviewed by the Director of Research for www.savechangeworld.com, a website that specializes in recommending private and publicly traded medical and technology microcap companies.  During the interview Mr. Leon discussed projections for Ethema's 2025 revenue and EBITDA.  Also discussed, were the up-listing, the terms and conditions for a contemplated convertible preferred stock offering, and the institution of a cash dividend after up-listing.
